Kenneth Li, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “During the quarter, we successfully completed the refinancing of our debt with a new credit facility. This strategic facility provides access to up to $12000万 at a more competitive interest rate, enhancing our financial flexibility. Additionally, the Company also entered into a new shareholder's loan agreement with Weichai, which allows the Company to borrow up to $10500万. These steps position us to accelerate growth, improve operational performance, and
optimize our capital structure. As always, we remain committed to identifying opportunities to grow profit and deliver increasing value to our shareholders.”
Net sales for the third quarter of 2024 wございます $12580万, an increase of $1000万, or 9%, compared to the third quarter of 2023, as a result of higher sales of $2370万 in the power systems end market, offset by a decrease of $760万 and $620万 within the industrial and transportation end markets, respectively. This shift in markets reflects the conscious strategic prioritization towards higher growth markets such as data centers as well as oil and gas products and away from more mature markets such as truck and school bus. As part of the Company's prioritization of the rapidly expanding Data Center sector, we are focused on improving and increasing our manufacturing capacity and capabilities to meet and exceed our customers’ evolving demand for our products. Decreased industrial end market sales are primarily due to decreases in demand for products used within the material handling and arbor care markets, as well as the direct effects of enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (“UFLPA”), which limited the Company’s ability to import certain raw materials in early 2024.
Gross profit of $3640万 increased by $850万, or 31%, during the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $2790万 in the same period in the prior year. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2024 was 28.9%, an increase of 4.8 percentage points compared to 24.1% in the same period last year, primarily due to improved mix, pricing actions, higher operating efficiencies, and lower warranty costs attributable to the Company's sales shift away from some of our transportation customers.
Research and development expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $470万 and $480万, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1100万 増加しました $40万, or 3%, during the third quarter of 2024 by $40万, or 3%, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to higher executive compensation offset by lower legal expenses.
