Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue was $197.1 million, compared to $106.2 million in the prior year period, representing an increase of 86%. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in cost of revenue from supply chain trading business.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased by 31% to $37.0 million, from $54.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the significant increase in the costs of third-party channels for SME financing solution services, adjusted by an increase in the gross profit of the Company's supply chain trading business by 393%, which increase was primarily a result of the Company's ability to expand its business, attract higher quality customers, and achieve higher customer retention. Gross margin was 15.8% and 33.7% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 

Operating Expenses 

Total operating expenses increased by 22% to $19.3 million from $15.9 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in bad debt expenses, offset by the decrease in selling expenses, general and administrative expenses and research and development ("R&D") expenses.

  • Selling expenses decreased by 15% to $2.0 million from $2.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease in selling expenses was mainly due to the Company's building up its network in supply chain trading business in various industries and cutting its marketing expenses.
  • General and administrative expenses decreased by 3% to $11.3 million from $11.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was mainly because the Company paid a one-time agreement cancellation fee of $2.5 million in 2021, adjusted by the impairment loss on goodwill incurred in 2022 and increased expenses on business expansion.
  • R&D expenses was $1.6 million, unchanged from fiscal year 2021.
  • Bad debts expenses were $4.5 million, as compared to $0.3 million in the prior year period. The bad debts expenses incurred in 2022 were primarily because certain suppliers were not be able to fulfill their contractual obligations due to the COVID outbreaks in 2022.

Other Income (Expense), net

The Company had a net other income of $4.8 million, compared to $2.6 million in the prior year period. The increase was due to an increase in investment income from the short-term investments and investment in limited partnership.  

Net Income

In fiscal year 2022, the Company achieved a net income of $17.8 million, compared to $30.5 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the significant increase in the costs of third-party channels.

Net Income per Share

Net income per share was $4.42 in fiscal year 2022, compared to $14.13 in the prior year period. The weighted average number of shares was 3,986,359 and 2,150,683 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
