Q1 2023 Financial Results

Net Revenues and Gross Profit (in USD millions)

	Q1 2023	Q1 2022	Y-o-Y%
Net Revenues	$22.9	$24.9	-8.2%
Gross Profit	$8.0	$2.4	236.4%
Gross Margin%	35.1%	9.6%	-

Net revenues of $22.9 million decreased by 8.2% from the same period of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in sales of EV parts and products, as the Company saw a lower demand for EV and shifted its focus towards off-road vehicles and associated parts with surging demand. However, the year-over-year gross margins were higher, attributed to the higher-margin features of off-road vehicles particularly crossover golf carts.

Operating Income/Loss (in USD millions)

	Q1 2023	Q1 2022	Y-o-Y%
Operating Expenses	($10.3)	($8.1)	26.9%
Loss from Operations	($2.2)	($5.7)	-60.8%
Operating Margin%	-9.8%	-22.9%	-

Operating expenses amounted to $10.3 million, compared to $8.1 million during the corresponding period in 2022. The rise in operating expenses can be attributed to higher sales and marketing expenses, which is mainly due to increased commission offered for the sales of off-road vehicles, as well as higher shipping and related expenses due to larger exports to the US market. Additionally, the increase in OpEx was also driven by higher general and administrative expenses resulting from an increase in hires and increased storage fees due to a rise in inventories kept in the US.

Net Income/Loss (in USD millions)

	Q1 2023	Q1 2022	Y-o-Y%
Net Income(Loss)	$0.6	($1.6)	136.8%
Net Income (Loss) per Share, Basic and Diluted	$0.01	($0.02)	-

Net income was $0.6 million, compared with a net loss of $1.6 million for the same period of 2022. The primary factor contributing to the rise in net income was the increase in gross profit, driven by a greater proportion of sales from off-road vehicles with larger gross margins.
