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中 $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.
