INLIF LIMITED Reports Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results
QUANZHOU, China, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- INLIF LIMITED (Nasdaq: INLF) (the "Company" or "INLIF"), a company engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of injection molding machine-dedicated manipulator arms, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Mr. Rongjun Xu, the chief executive officer of INLIF, remarked, "We are thrilled to report the performance for fiscal year 2024, with growth recorded across revenue, gross profit, and net income. This success was fueled by sustained demand from existing clients and new customers acquired through our strategic marketing initiatives. Our strategic expansion also played a pivotal role in driving sales growth and penetrating new sectors and emerging markets. These combined efforts resulted in a 25.26% year-over-year increase in revenue. As sales increased, our gross margin declined slightly to 28.83%, which contributed to a 9.49% increase in gross profit, highlighting our profitability and effective cost control measures.
"In preparation for our Nasdaq listing and to unlock greater opportunities in new markets, we launched proactive marketing campaigns and offered attractive incentive commissions to enhance brand recognition and order acquisition. These efforts included participation in exhibitions across China and exploration of overseas markets, particularly in Southeast Asia and India. Meanwhile, we have supported our revenue growth with only a moderate increase in operational costs. We continued to invest in research and development, and we plan to accelerate the acquisition of talents, patents, and technologies to meet the evolving and diversifying needs of the market.
"Thanks to the outstanding efforts of our team and the strong execution of our strategic initiatives, net income rose by 18.78% during our first financial report post-listing. Looking ahead, we anticipate opportunities for continued growth and development, supported by the enhanced visibility and access to capital provided by our Nasdaq listing. In addition, the rise of emerging technology innovations and the increasing adoption of automation infrastructure are expected to significantly accelerate growth in the manipulator arms industry. We are confident that our proactive and pragmatic business strategies will place us on a sustainable and thriving path, delivering long-term value to the Company and our shareholders."

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit was $4.55 million for fiscal year 2024, representing an increase of 9.49% from $4.16 million for fiscal year 2023. The increase mainly due to (i) an increase in gross profit from sales of manipulator arms, including installation and warranty services, by approximately $0.47 million; (ii) a decrease in gross profit from sales of manipulator arms accessories by approximately $0.11 million; (iii) an increase in gross profit from sales of raw materials and scraps by approximately $0.06 million; and (iv) a decrease in gross profit from sales of installation services by approximately $0.03 million.

- Selling expenses were $0.94 million for fiscal year 2024, representing an increase of 36.46% from $0.69 million for fiscal year 2023. The increase was mainly due to (i) an increase in exhibition expenses by approximately $0.12 million, resulting from participation in an additional four exhibitions across four cities in China in 2024; (ii) an increase in salary by approximately $0.12 million, as the growth in revenue has led to higher commissions for sales personnel, alongside the addition of three sales representatives in 2024 compared to 2023; and (iii) an increase in transportation fees by approximately $0.19 million, due to increase of sales to customers from other provinces, such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu, resulting in a rise in related transportation costs.
- General and administrative expenses were $0.76 million for fiscal year 2024, representing an increase of 5.58% from $0.72 million for fiscal year 2023. The increase was mainly due to an increase in consulting fees for external public relations and internal control.
- Research and development expenses were $1.56 million for fiscal year 2024, representing an increase of 14.76% from $1.36 million for the same period of last year.
