Second Quarter Highlights

  • Gross margin for the second quarter of 2020 was 18.2%, compared to 17.4% for the same period of 2019.
  • Net income for the second quarter of 2020 was $4.1 million, or $0.08 earnings per fully diluted share, compared with net loss of $7.3 million, or $0.14 loss per fully diluted share for the same period in 2019.
  • Working capital was $75.6 million as of June 30, 2020. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $6.7 million as of June 30, 2020.

Mr. Hu Xiaoming, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kandi, commented, “Our second quarter results were satisfactory. After the pandemic in China was effectively contained, Kandi fully resumed production and actively pushed the business forward.  The COVID-19 situation significantly decreased consumer demand, yet we contained the revenue decline, improved gross margin, and achieved $4.1 million in profit.  We made meaningful progress in preparing for the online car-hailing business, the launch of which is planned for Hainan soon. Our first fully automatic intelligent battery swapping equipment was delivered to the rideshare operator in Hainan on August 2.  Installation has been completed, and trial operations will commence.  For the first time, battery swapping stations are classified as ‘infrastructure construction’ based on the Government Work Report delivered by Premier Li Keqiang during the 2020 NPC.  As such, we believe that our fully automatic smart replacement system will be favored by the market and drive sales of our electric vehicles.  Furthermore, our affiliate company Fengsheng Automotive successively launched two exciting new pure electric SUVs and multi-purpose passenger vehicles and will continue to launch more pure electric vehicle models to meet the diversified travel needs of users.”

Mr. Hu discussed the U.S. opportunity: “While maintaining growth of off-road vehicles, our American wholly-owned subsidiary has also prepared to launch sales of pure EVs in the United States.  A live virtual event will occur on August 18 to officially kick-off pre-sales, which will be a key milestone in the Company’s history.  As a technology innovator, Kandi is committed to provide high quality products with great performance and affordable price.”

“As a pioneer in the electric vehicle industry and inventor of the ‘vehicle/battery separation’ swap model, Kandi is well-positioned to benefit from growing demand for EVs.  The market potential of online car hailing in China is huge, and with government support for the battery swapping model, we are confident that Kandi will gain market share in China’s EV industry in the near future.” Mr. Hu concluded.

Net Revenues and Gross Profit

 2Q20 2Q19 Y-o-Y
Net Revenues (US$million)$19.4 $24.1 -19.5%
Gross Profit (US$million)$3.5 $4.2 -15.8%
Gross Margin 18.2% 17.4%- 

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2020 decreased by 19.5% compared to the same period last year. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to lower sales of EV parts. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in China, the demand for EV parts from customers was significantly affected during the first half of 2020.

Income (Loss) from Operations

 2Q20 2Q19 Y-o-Y%
Total Operating Income (Expenses) (US$million)$8.1 ($7.2)-213.0%
Income (Loss) from Operations (US$million)$11.6 ($3.0)-493.5%
Operating Margin 59.8% -12.2%- 

Total operating income in the second quarter of 2020 were $8.1 million, compared with $7.2 million of total operating expenses in the same quarter of 2019. The increase in total operating income was mainly due to the gain on disposal of long-live asset related to the real estate repurchase agreement of our Jinhua Facility’s relocation which was $13.9 incurred during the second quarter of 2020.

Net Income (Loss)

 2Q20 2Q19 Y-o-Y%
Net  Income (Loss) (US$million)$4.1 ($7.3)-155.4%
Earnings (loss)  per Weighted Average Common Share$0.08 ($0.14)- 
Earnings (loss)  per Weighted Average Diluted Share$0.08 ($0.14)- 

Net income was $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared with net loss of $7.3 million in the same quarter of 2019. The decrease in loss was primarily due to the gain on disposal of long-live asset which was related to the real estate repurchase agreement of our Jinhua Facility’s relocation.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 million, restricted cash of $3.2 million, working capital of $75.6 million; compared to $5.5 million, $11.0 million, $63.7 million as of December 31, 2019.
