The revenue decline was attributed to China's economic slowdown and strategic expansion into high-end hotel projects.

Li Bang International (Nasdaq: LBGJ) ha riportato i risultati finanziari per l'anno fiscale 2024, evidenziando un calo dei ricavi del 22,9% a 10,8 milioni di dollari rispetto ai 14,0 milioni del 2023.

Il profitto lordo è diminuito del 53%, scendendo a 2,7 milioni di dollari, con un margine di profitto che è passato dal 41,1% al 25,1%. La diminuzione dei ricavi è attribuita al rallentamento economico della Cina e all'espansione strategica in progetti di hotel di alta gamma. L'azienda ha recentemente completato la sua IPO il 23 ottobre 2024, raccogliendo 6,08 milioni di dollari attraverso la vendita di 1.520.000 azioni ordinarie a 4,00 dollari per azione.

Insights

Li Bang's FY2024 results reveal concerning trends with $10.8M revenue marking a 22.9% YoY decline and a shift to net loss of $1.4M from previous year's profit. The deterioration in key metrics is noteworthy: gross margin compressed significantly to 25.1% from 41.1%, while project revenues fell 23.2% due to lower pricing strategy and China's economic slowdown.

The recent IPO raising $6.08M provides needed capital, but concerning fundamentals include minimal cash position ($154K), negative operating cash flow and substantial bad debt expense of $1.1M. The strategic pivot to high-end hotel projects and geographical expansion comes at the cost of profitability, raising questions about sustainable growth amid challenging market conditions.

The company's expansion strategy into China's central and western regions through competitive pricing reveals market penetration challenges in a saturated industry. The 31.7% reduction in average project revenue to $114,529 signals intense price competition and potential market share struggles. While the focus on high-end hotel projects could differentiate the offering, the extended project timelines and working capital requirements pose execution risks, particularly given the thin cash reserves and economic headwinds in China's commercial real estate sector.

JIANGYIN, China, Nov. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Li Bang International Corporation Inc. (Nasdaq: LBGJ) (the "Company" or "Li Bang"), a company engaged in designing, developing, producing, and selling stainless steel commercial kitchen equipment in China, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

Mr. Feng Huang, Chief Executive Officer & Chairman of the Board, commented, "Despite a challenging economic environment, fiscal year 2024 was a year of important strategic progress for Li Bang. We focused on expanding our footprint in the high-end hotel kitchen equipment sector and broadened our reach to emerging regions such as Chongqing and Xi'an. Additionally, in October 2024, we successfully completed our initial public offering and achieved a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol 'LBGJ.' This significant milestone enhances our global competitiveness and reinforces our commitment to long-term growth."

"Looking ahead, we plan to allocate funds strategically towards plant construction, equipment procurement, marketing, and innovation to drive product quality and operational efficiency. Our ongoing investments in research and development will allow us to continue delivering cutting-edge and cost-effective solutions to our clients. We remain committed to delivering high-quality products and generating sustainable value for our shareholders, and we are confident in our ability to strengthen our market position," concluded Mr. Feng Huang.

Total revenue was $10.8 million for fiscal year 2024, which decreased by 22.9% from $14.0 million for fiscal year 2023.

  • Revenue from project sales was $10.4 million for fiscal year 2024, decreased 23.2% from $13.6 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to: 1) the slow-down of the China's economy that negatively impacted the number of projects; 2) the change in the project-mix as a number of the Company expanded into high-end hotel kitchen projects and a number of them were in-progress as of June 30, 2024, and 3) average revenue per project decreased by $53,138 to $114,529 for the year ended June 30, 2024 from $167,667 for 2023. Lower average revenue per project was the result of the Company's decision to strategically attract potential customers in the central and western regions of China, such as Chongqing and Xian and enhance brand awareness by lowering its project quotations.
  • Revenues from retail sales was $367,976 for fiscal year 2024, decreased by 13.1% from $423,527 for fiscal year 2023. The change in retail revenues is due primarily to the slowdown of the China economy.
