Insights

Financial Analyst

The financial results presented by CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited for fiscal year 2024 indicate a challenging period for the company. The revenue decline of 38.7% from $24.1 million to $14.7 million is significant and reflected across all major product lines and geographical regions. A primary driver of this decline is customers' shift towards zero inventory and reduced average selling prices. The gross profit margin also decreased from 32.7% to 26.6%, indicating challenges in maintaining profitability despite reduced cost of revenue. The company's strategic investments in R&D and operational efficiencies, along with plans to explore AI applications in manufacturing, could potentially enhance future performance. However, the immediate downturn in financial metrics, including a net loss of $1.3 million as opposed to the previous year's net income of $2.2 million, raises caution for investors regarding short-term stability.

Market Research Analyst

The market landscape for interconnect products like connectors, cables and wire harnesses appears to be undergoing significant shifts, which poses both challenges and opportunities for CCSC Technology. The sharp decline in revenues across Europe (43.3% decrease), Asia (34.9% decrease) and the Americas (12.4% decrease) reflects broader market dynamics, including economic instability in certain regions and shifts in customer procurement strategies. The company's strategic move to establish a European supply chain management center in Serbia is a proactive measure aimed at long-term growth and market expansion. Additionally, the partnership with Innogetic to leverage AI in manufacturing could position CCSC at the forefront of technological innovation within the industry. These initiatives highlight the company’s efforts to adapt and innovate, which are important for future resilience and competitive advantage.

Tech Expert

CCSC Technology's initiative to incorporate AI in manufacturing through its partnership with Innogetic is a forward-thinking strategy that could significantly enhance operational efficiencies and product innovation. AI applications in manufacturing can lead to improved predictive maintenance, optimized production processes and enhanced quality control. These advancements could result in cost savings and better product quality, offering a competitive edge in the market. However, the implementation of AI technologies requires substantial investment and a period of adjustment, which might not yield immediate financial returns. Therefore, while the strategic cooperation agreement is promising, investors should consider the potential lag before these technological benefits translate into financial performance.

HONG KONG, July 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited (the "Company" or "CCSC") (Nasdaq: CCTG), a Hong Kong-based company that engages in the sale, design and manufacturing of interconnect products, including connectors, cables and wire harnesses, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Mr. Kung Lok Chiu, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, commented, "We believe we have demonstrated resilience and adaptability throughout a challenging fiscal year 2024. Despite market fluctuations, we remain dedicated to innovation and excellence. We have worked to enhance our operational efficiencies and invested strategically in research and development to advance our product developments. Additionally, our Nasdaq listing in January 2024 marks a significant milestone for the Company, providing us with a platform for future growth. Furthermore, we entered into a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Innogetic International Limited ("Innogetic") in May 2024. In the future, we anticipate exploring and applying digital technology such as artificial intelligence ("AI") in the field of manufacturing to further advancements in our business. As we explore AI applications in the manufacturing sector in partnership with Innogetic, we endeavor to further the innovation and efficiency in our manufacturing process and enhance our position in the industry. Moreover, CCSC is planning to commence construction of a new European supply chain management center in the Republic of Serbia in second half of 2024. We believe that this strategic expansion, if and when it is established, will support our business by driving long-term growth."

"We are committed to adopting advanced technologies, developing replicable and scalable solutions, and fostering innovative ideas and products.

Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

Revenue

Total revenue was $14.7 million for fiscal year 2024, which decreased by 38.7% from $24.1 million for fiscal year 2023.

The following table sets forth revenue by interconnect products:

		For the years ended March 31,																Change
($ millions)		2024				%				2023				%				Amount				%
Cables and wire harnesses			13.6				92.4	%			22.2				92.3	%			(8.6)				(38.7)	%
Connectors			1.1				7.6	%			1.8				7.7	%			(0.7)				(39.3)	%
Total			14.7				100.0	%			24.0				100.0	%			(9.3)				(38.7)	%

Revenue generated from cables and wire harnesses decreased by 38.7%, to $13.6 million for fiscal year 2024, from $22.2 million for fiscal year 2023. Revenue generated from connectors decreased by 39.3%, to $1.1 million for fiscal year 2024, from $1.8 million for fiscal year 2023.

The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the total sales volume due to customers' shift towards zero inventory instead of advanced procurement, and  the decrease of the average selling price of our products for fiscal year 2024.

The following table sets forth the disaggregation of revenue by regions:

		For the years ended March 31,																Change
($ millions)		2024				%				2023				%				Amount				%
Europe			8.5				57.8	%			15.0				62.5	%			(6.5)				(43.3)	%
Asia			4.8				32.8	%			7.4				30.9	%			(2.6)				(34.9)	%
Americas			1.4				9.4	%			1.6				6.6	%			(0.2)				(12.4)	%
Total			14.7				100.0	%			24.0				100.0	%			(9.3)				(38.7)	%

Revenue generated from Europe decreased by 43.3%, to $8.5 million for fiscal year 2024, from $15.0 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of sales in Denmark, Hungary and Bulgaria, which was partially offset by the increase of sales in Italy.

Revenue generated from Asia decreased by 34.9%, to $4.8 million for fiscal year 2024, from $7.4 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to sales decreases in China of $1.6 million, and sales decreases in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, of $1.0 million.

Revenue generated from the Americas decreased by 12.4%, to $1.4 million for fiscal year 2024, from $1.6 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the sales decrease in North America of $0.2 million.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by 33.1%, to $10.8 million for fiscal year 2024, from $16.2 million for fiscal year 2023, which was in line with the decrease of total revenue.

Inventory costs amounted to $7.3 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to $12.1 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease of inventory costs was primarily due to a 44.1% decrease in the total sales volume, which was partially offset by an 8.5% increase in the inventory cost per unit.

Labor costs amounted to $2.5 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to $2.9 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease of labor costs was primarily because we reduced the number of manufacturing employees.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit decreased by 50.1%, to $3.9 million for fiscal year 2024, from $7.9 million for fiscal year 2023.

Gross profit margin decreased by 6.1%, to 26.6% for fiscal year 2024, from 32.7% for fiscal year 2023.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased by 5.1%, to $5.8 million for fiscal year 2024, from $6.1 million for fiscal year 2023. The expense reduction was mainly due to the decline in selling expenses and research and development expenses. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in the general and administrative expenses.

Other Income

Other income decreased to $0.5 million for fiscal year 2024, from $0.7 million for fiscal year 2023.

Net (Loss)/Income

Net income decreased by 158.7%, to net loss of $1.3 million for fiscal year 2024, from net income of $2.2 million for fiscal year 2023.

Basic and Diluted (Loss)/Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.13 for fiscal year 2024, compared to earnings per share of $0.22 for fiscal year 2023.
