We have secured partnerships with several key and internationally renowned clients in the industry, including those that we have chosen to not identify in public announcements so far to maintain our competitive edge. As of March 31, 2023, we have in total received orders worth $180 million to be delivered. With the market’s increasing recognition of our brand, we anticipate that our financial results will show further growth in 2023.”

Mr. Li continued: “In 2022, the price of lithium carbonate, a key raw material for lithium batteries, skyrocketed by about 300%, which is an important factor affecting our profitability in 2022. However, starting from 2023, its price declined quickly, and the momentum will remain. With that, we are optimistic about our financial outlook this year.”

Xiangyu Pei, Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, noted: “Our management team is dedicated to effectively controlling our expenses. In 2022, despite integrating a newly acquired raw material business, our sales and marketing expenses reduced by 12.77%, and our general and administrative expenses dropped by 2.89%. As we look ahead, we believe that we can deliver a better result in 2023.”
