Insights

CDT Environmental's interim financial results reveal concerning trends. $12.7 million revenue marks an 18.1% YoY decline, while EPS dropped to $0.14 from $0.22. The revised full-year guidance, now projecting revenue of $30.2-32.7 million (down from $42.5-47.0 million), signals significant headwinds. However, there are some silver linings: gross margin improved to 35.5% from 31.2%, driven by lower material and labor costs. The disposal of non-profitable subsidiaries demonstrates strategic cost management. The company's vulnerability to PRC's economic slowdown raises concerns about near-term growth prospects, particularly with project delays and reduced demand affecting the core business. This revised outlook represents a 29% reduction in expected annual revenue, suggesting more significant challenges ahead than initially anticipated.

The Chinese environmental sector's dynamics are clearly reflected in CDT's performance. The reduction from two new projects to just one in the comparable period underscores the broader infrastructure spending slowdown in China. The 18.1% revenue decline aligns with the macro trend of decreased infrastructure investment in the PRC. While the improved gross margin to 35.5% shows effective cost management, the substantial downward revision in guidance - a $12.3-14.3 million reduction in expected revenue - suggests that management anticipates prolonged market weakness. The commentary about stimulus policies not yet restoring confidence is particularly telling, indicating that even government intervention hasn't catalyzed the expected market recovery. This could signal a longer recovery timeline for the entire sector.

Revenue of $12.7 million and earnings per share of $0.14 impacted by reduced project activity due to a slowdown in the PRC economy

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CDT Environmental Technology Investment Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: CDTG) (“CDT”, the “Company”, or “we”), a leading provider of waste treatment systems and services throughout China, today reports its unaudited interim financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and provides updates on key business developments and outlook.

All amounts are expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

2024 Interim Financial Results and Business Updates

  • Revenues decreased by approximately $2.8 million, or 18.1%, to approximately $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from approximately $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily attributed to ongoing work related to one new project during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to two new projects in the same period of 2023, and fewer projects in progress or completed in 2024. The reduced project activity was largely driven by decreased demand for the Company’s services due to the economic downturn in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). 

  • Gross profit decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or 6.7%, to approximately $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from approximately $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to a decrease in sewage treatment systems revenue. 

  • For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, overall gross profit percentage was 35.5% and 31.2%, respectively. The increase in gross profit percentage of 4.3% was primarily due to the following: (1) a 3.6% increase from sewage treatment systems driven by a decrease in material costs resulting from temporary price fluctuations, and (2) a 17.2% increase in gross profit from sewage treatment services, mainly due to reduced labor costs following the disposal of two non-profitable subsidiaries. 

  • Total operating expenses increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 7.8%, to approximately $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from approximately $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. 

  • Net income decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 21.6%, to approximately $1.4 million, or $0.14 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from approximately $1.8 million, or $0.22 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The reduction in net income was primarily attributable to decreased demand for the Company’s services due to the economic downturn in the PRC.

Yunwu Li, CEO of CDT, said “Amidst the challenging economic and market conditions, our revenue declined in the first half of fiscal year 2024, primarily due to the overall slowing of the economy in the PRC and the delay in certain projects. The recent PRC economic data indicates that while many positive stimulus policies have been announced, they have yet to fully restore confidence in the general economy and for new infrastructure projects. Despite these challenges, we successfully maintained a relatively stable revenue stream from our core operations, which remains the backbone of our income. We are also pleased to report that we were able to sustain a gross margin of 35.5%, driven by our established business strategies and targeted restructuring efforts. Our ongoing cost reduction initiatives continue with a focus on further streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency. Looking ahead, we expect that revenue growth and profitability will inevitably face pressure due to the circumstances detailed in our first half 2024 results.”

Yunwu Li, added, “We have continued to successfully navigate near-term challenges related to softening economic conditions by delivering excellent customer service and by driving productivity. Our focus remains on investing for the future and positioning ourselves to capitalize on opportunities associated with favorable, long-term secular trends including water conservation, safety and regulation. Looking forward, we remain confident in our business model and committed to translating our efforts into sustained growth and creating value for our shareholders.”

Updated Full Year 2024 Outlook

  • Based on current visibility, management expects full-year 2024 revenue to be in the range of $30.2 to $32.7 million, with net income in the range of $6.5 to $7.9 million. The change in guidance from the previous range of revenue of $42.5 to $47.0 million and net income of $8.7 to $10.2 million reflects the slowdown in the PRC economy and delay of certain projects.
