Insights

The FY2024 results reveal a strategic transformation at Leishen Energy, marked by robust cash flow management despite top-line pressure. The 243% surge in operating cash flow to $15.07M stems from exceptional working capital management, evidenced by a $8.9M reduction in accounts receivable and improved inventory efficiency.

The revenue decline of 5.5% masks a deliberate pivot towards higher-quality growth. While the traditional clean-energy equipment segment contracted, the 11.3% growth in new energy sales signals a successful diversification strategy. The substantial increases in marketing (164.6%) and R&D (183.3%) expenses represent strategic investments in international expansion and innovation, rather than operational inefficiencies.

The balance sheet has strengthened considerably, with short-term investments more than doubling to $17.85M and total equity increasing by $8.7M. This robust financial position, combined with reduced debt levels, provides ample flexibility for future growth initiatives.

The margin compression (gross margin declining to 23.2%) reflects near-term competitive pressures but should be viewed against the company's strategic repositioning. The expansion into international markets, particularly in Central Asia and the Middle East, coupled with a growing patent portfolio (72 patents), positions Leishen for more sustainable long-term growth.

BEIJING, Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leishen Energy Holding Co., Ltd. ("Leishen Energy"), a leading provider of clean-energy equipment and integrated solutions for the oil and gas industry, today announced its fiscal year 2024 financial results, showcasing robust performance driven by effective cost management, strategic market expansion, and growing demand for the Company’s innovative product offerings.

Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Operating Cash Flow Grows 243%, rising to USD $15.07 million in fiscal year 2024, up from USD $4.39 million in fiscal year 2023, marking a more than 243% year-over-year increase. This sharp rise was driven by robust accounts receivable collections, efficiency gains, and disciplined costs.
  • Total Revenues were USD $69.07 million, compared to USD $73.08 million in fiscal year 2023, representing a 5.5% decrease year-over-year. The decline was primarily attributable to lower sales of clean-energy equipment in the domestic market, partially offset by growth in the Company’s new energy business.
  • Gross Profit totaled USD $16.03 million, down from USD $18.38 million in the prior year, reflecting a gross margin of 23.2% (25.1% in fiscal year 2023). The margin decrease was primarily driven by lower margins in oil and gas engineering technical services.
  • Net Income was USD $7.99 million, compared to USD $11.63 million in fiscal year 2023, reflecting a 31.3% decrease.
  • Operating Expenses rose from USD $6.49 million in fiscal year 2023 to USD $8.48 million in fiscal year 2024, largely due to higher selling and marketing costs associated with international market expansion, as well as increased research and development.
  • Net Income Attributable to Leishen Energy was USD $8.10 million, reflecting a decrease of USD $3.76 million year-over-year.

Segment Performance

  1. Clean-Energy Equipment
    • Revenue declined by 14.6% year-over-year, to USD $33.82 million, mainly due to reduced domestic orders amid tighter market competition and lower selling prices for certain common products. The segment contributed 49.0% of total revenues.
  2. Digitalization and Integration Equipment
    • Revenue was USD $3.08 million, reflecting a modest year-over-year decline. Gross margin improved to 18.2% as the Company continued to streamline costs and enhance efficiency.
  3. New Energy Sales
    • Revenue grew 11.3%, reaching USD $25.82 million, driven by increased demand for natural gas. The Company added a major new client in fiscal year 2024, contributing over USD $1.5 million in revenue.
  4. Oil and Gas Engineering Technical Services
    • Revenue was USD $6.35 million, representing a decrease of 8.4% from the prior year, due to intensified pricing pressure and customers adopting lower-cost operating models. Despite increased competition, the Company continues to develop new projects at home and abroad.

Management Commentary

“We are pleased to report that while Leishen Energy experienced year-over-year declines in revenue and profitability in fiscal 2024, we have strengthened our position in new energy sales and increased our presence in international markets,” said Hongliang Li, Chief Executive Officer of Leishen Energy. “The successful expansion of our customer base—particularly in overseas regions—and ongoing investments in research and development underscore our commitment to delivering innovative, high-performance energy solutions.”

We believe our prudent balance sheet management, coupled with targeted investments in key growth areas, will help us enhance our financial performance and maintain sustainable returns for our shareholders in the years to come.”
