Mr. Wang continued, "Despite a brief delay due to port congestion, our latest electric GEF-series lithium powered forklift trucks have arrived on US soil.  The GEF-series lithium forklifts consist of three different models ranging from 1.8 tons to 3.5 tons rated load and launch prices ranging from approximately $23,999 to $34,999 with battery and charger.  We have begun the sales process and expect our first batch to sell quickly.  Our industry disruptive GEL-1800, an all electric 1.8 ton rated wheeled front loader, has also arrived and we have begun scheduling demonstrations to interested parties for sale.  These vehicles will be followed by our GEX-8000, an all electric 8.0 ton rated load lithium excavator, scheduled to arrive in January 2022.  Our electric industrial vehicle division is progressing well and will deepen the value Greenland generates for our shareholders and our clients."

Mr. Jing Jin, Greenland Technologies' Chief Financial Officer commented: "Greenland's stellar performance in the third quarter of 2021 is a testament to our strong capabilities in addressing increasing demands for advanced transmission products and mitigate supply chain risks. Fueled by our robust sales of transmission units, our net income increased 172.5% to $1.3 million. Meanwhile, we also saw further improvement in our profitability. Specifically, our gross margin continued an upward trend and reached 22.1% in the quarter, up 150 basis points from the prior year. Given our sound financial position, we are confident to spearhead the development of electrifying commercial vehicles."

Priority will also be given to customers who have previously placed orders in the North American market.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenues

Total revenues were $23.1 million, an increase of approximately 39.7% year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to the significant increase in the sales volume resulting from the continuously growing market demand, the ability to boost supplies, and a shift in the product mix towards higher value products. The number of transmission products sold increased 11.6% to 33,478 units from 29,985 units in the third quarter of 2020.

Costs of Goods Sold

Costs of goods sold were $18.0 million, an increase of 37.1% from $13.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales volume and the increase in raw material prices.

Gross profit

Gross profit was $5.1 million, an increase of 50.0% from $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Gross margin was 22.1%, up 150 basis points from 20.6% in the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to a shift in the product mix towards products of higher value and sophistication such as hydraulic transmission products. 

Operating expenses   

Total operating expenses were $3.0 million, up 162.8% from $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2020. Operating expense as a percentage of total revenues was 13.2%, up 6.2% percentage points from 7.0% in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the increase in sales, consultancy fees, and research and development expenses year-over-year.

• Selling expenses were $0.5 million, an increase of 93.2% from $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in unit price for transportation expenses.
• General and administration expenses were $1.2 million, an increase of 255.1% from $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to the G&A expenses incurred from the new financing activities as well as the increased legal and consultancy fees for business planning and projects as the Company expanded its operations.
• Research and development expenses were $1.4 million, an increase of 143.2% from $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributed to the increase in R&D investment into higher value, more sophisticated products and electrification products.

Net Income
