(NASDAQ: CBAT) (“CBAK Energy,” or the “Company”) a leading lithium-ion battery manufacturer and electric energy solution provider in China, today reported its unaudited financial results for the third quarter 2024 ended September 30, 2024.

Net revenues from sales of batteries were $113.9 million, an increase of 18.4% from $96.2 million in the same period of 2023.Net revenues from batteries used in light electric vehicles were $8.2 million, an increase of 95% from $4.2 million in the same period of 2023.Net revenues from batteries used in electric vehicles were $1.0 million, a decrease of 57.1% from $2.4 million in the same period of 2023.Net revenues from residential energy supply & uninterruptible supplies were $104.6 million, an increase of 16.8% from $89.5 million in the same period of 2023.Gross margin for the battery business was 34.3%, an increase of 15.2 percentage points from 19.1% in the same period of 2023.Net income from the battery business was $21.6 million, an increase of 222% from $6.7 million in the same period of 2023.
Zhiguang Hu, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “We are pleased to report a remarkable 18.4% increase in battery sales revenue during the first nine months of the year, especially given the intense competition within the industry. Our battery business has also delivered an impressive gross margin of 34.6% for the same period, positioning us well ahead of all competitors in the battery manufacturing sector, including internationally recognized industry leaders. Despite broader economic challenges, we have successfully achieved a net income of $21.6 million from our battery operations for the first three quarters of the year. We are proud to present this exceptional performance to our shareholders and investors and remain highly confident in our continued growth for the following quarters in this and next years.”
Jiewei Li, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Board of the Company, added, “As Mr. Hu highlighted, our financial performance for the first three quarters has been exceptionally strong, setting a new benchmark within the industry. While our Dalian facility has continued to generate consistent profits, we are particularly pleased to report that our Nanjing facility—just operating for less than three years with a new battery model—has become profitable as of Q3. The demand and order volumes at the Nanjing plant have far surpassed its current capacity, leading to full-day operations across all production lines. In response to this robust client demand, we have secured procurement agreements with our equipment suppliers and are set to expand the production at our Nanjing Phase II project, adding an additional 2.5 to 3 GWh of capacity by next year.”
Third Quarter of 2024 Financial Results
Net revenues[1] were $44.6 million, representing a decrease of 29.7% compared to $63.4 million in the same period of 2023. This decrease in revenues was due to the fact that the Dalian factory had been operating at full capacity since the beginning of the year, which resulted in a one-month suspension for maintenance in the third quarter. In addition to that, Hitrans is facing suboptimal business performance.
Among these revenues, detailed revenues from our battery business are:

Learn How at an Exclusive Webinar on Nov. 20th Hosted by Medical Economics and Specialdocs
CHICAGO, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In healthcare change is inevitable, but for independent physicians already facing an uncertain economic forecast in 2025, the prospect of a new administration is sparking even more concern. To help decipher the implications of an ever-evolving regulatory and reimbursement landscape, Medical Economics has teamed up with Terry Bauer, CEO of concierge medicine pioneer Specialdocs Consultants, and Max Reiboldt, Chairman of leading healthcare advisory, Coker, to present an exclusive, informational webinar for physicians on November 20th. Bauer and Reiboldt bring insights gained collectively over more than a century advising physicians on career strategies, to address the headwinds that threaten to topple private medical practices, and explain why concierge medicine offers one of today’s most viable pathways to retaining independence.
CLICK HERE to register for “2025 Forecast for Physicians: Financial Headwinds, Continued Burnout, and How Concierge Medicine May Be the Cure for What Ails You” at 7 pm CST/8 pm EST on Wednesday, November 20th.
“Now representing just 22% of all practices,1 the independent physician is in danger of disappearing altogether amid unrelenting financial, professional and personal pressures,” says Bauer. “Among other challenges, rising costs to operate a traditional practice and continual cuts to Medicare reimbursements have contributed to an overall 29% downward slide in Medicare compensation over the last two decades.”2
He continues: “Yet we know that a change to our membership medicine model can prove lifesaving, restoring practice sustainability and ushering in a new era of unparalleled career satisfaction. We’ve long championed this solution for physicians in private practice, who have been consistently unappreciated for the very real value they bring to their patients and the health system.”
Adds Reiboldt: “Physicians in private practice are still a cornerstone of our healthcare system yet are facing challenges that threaten their existence. More and more physicians are affiliating with capital and/or strategic partners, which is not a bad thing but still threatens their independence and private structure.”
A number of crucial issues will be examined during the webinar. “We will approach these with sensitivity as all providers (physicians, health systems, private and public investors, et al) share in both the credit and the blame for our current state of affairs,” says Reiboldt.
Topics will include:
The new administration’s approach to lowering costs, reducing regulatory barriers to consolidation and expanding price transparency mandates for healthcare services.Future use of AI and other technologies to drive greater efficiencies, quality of care.The outlook for primary care providers and programs such as Medicare Advantage, risk-based reimbursement, quality incentives.How upcoming changes in reimbursement and regulations impact the financial viability of traditional practices.Strategies for maintaining or regaining independence as a practitioner; concierge medicine as a model offering sustainable financial security and work-life balance.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Rokid is poised to unveil its groundbreaking next-generation smart glasses, the Rokid Glasses, at the highly anticipated Rokid Jungle 2024 event, set to take place on 18 November in Hangzhou, China. Seamlessly integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence with augmented reality, Rokid Glasses represent the pinnacle of innovation. As the most eagerly awaited event in the augmented reality calendar, Rokid Jungle 2024 is destined to be the largest and most consequential gathering of its kind on the global stage. With an impressive turnout expected of over 1,000 distinguished attendees, the event will serve as a landmark occasion, bringing together partners, visionaries, and industry leaders. The launch of the Rokid Glasses promises to elevate the smart daily experience to unprecedented heights, setting new standards in the realm of wearable technology.
Rokid Glasses: Transforming AI and AR into an Essential Daily Gadget for All
Rokid Glasses combine style, comfort, and lightweight design with intuitive, AI-powered features. Integrated with Alibaba’s Tongyi Qianwen AI, Rokid Glasses offer a range of capabilities, including object recognition, text translation, and even solving complex math problems. It can calculate the calorie content of food or provide real-time language translation, making it an indispensable tool for travelers.
Empowered by Zhi Xiaobao, Alibaba’s AI assistant, Rokid Glasses allow users to take full control of their world with simple voice commands, whether booking a ride or ordering a coffee. The advanced voiceprint recognition technology also facilitates secure payments via Alipay, ensuring a seamless and trusted connection to the user’s phone. Alipay’s cutting-edge AI audio detection technology guarantees top-tier security and fraud prevention during transactions.
A standout feature of Rokid Glasses is the ability to view message notifications directly through the glasses, effectively replacing the need for a phone screen. This functionality hints at a future where Rokid Glasses may evolve into a central hub of daily life, potentially replacing smartphones altogether as an essential tech gadget. “We’ve crafted our new glasses to redefine the user experience, bringing the world’s first AI+AR glasses to daily life,” says Misa Zhu, Founder and CEO of Rokid. “Our mission is to make high-quality AI+AR glasses accessible to everyone, and this launch marks a bold step in that direction.” True to Rokid’s ethos of Leave Nobody Behind, the Rokid Glasses bridge gaps in accessibility, usability, and comfort, ensuring that everyone can experience the transformative power of innovation.
Rokid’s Role to Impact Global Tech Arena and Its Commitments for leading AR Industry
Rokid is making significant strides in transforming the museum experience using augmented reality (AR) technology to enhance visitor engagement. By providing immersive, interactive experiences, Rokid brings historical artifacts and exhibitions to life in exciting new ways. With over 2.5 million users benefiting from its AR glasses and more than 300,000 of these users have made actual purchases and are actively engaged with the devices. Even more striking is the fact that Rokid users spend an average of 2 hours and 45 minutes daily with Rokid glasses—this not only underscores the strong appeal of Rokid’s products but also reflects the growing consumer interest in and adoption of augmented reality technology.
Rokid’s ecosystem continues to flourish, with over 6,200 registered developers, highlighting the company’s significant progress in cultivating an open and thriving ecosystem. As the race in augmented reality heats up, major players are competing for dominance in this rapidly evolving space. With AR technology expanding its global footprint, the question remains: who will emerge as the true leader in the AR industry? While the collaboration between Ray-Ban and Meta has brought new energy to the smart glasses market, Meta continues to face challenges. Despite a decade of investment in XR, VR, and AR, Meta has made strides with VR hardware like the Meta Quest but still struggles with slow user adoption and limited AR functionality.
Rokid Jungle 2024: A Decade of Breaking Boundaries in Augmented Reality
Rokid Jungle 2024 commemorates a significant milestone: Rokid’s 10th anniversary and the beginning of the next decade of AR innovation. From its founding in 2014, Rokid has maintained a relentless focus on human-computer interaction, driving the evolution of AR technology through unwavering dedication to innovation. From setting industry standards with the original Rokid Glass to the highly regarded consumer product Rokid Air, and now with the trendsetting AR Studio and AR Lite, Rokid has played a key role in propelling the AR industry forward.
With the launch of the latest Rokid Glasses, the company reaffirms its leadership in the new wave of AR technological innovation. To mark this remarkable milestone, Rokid is delighted to offer a $20 benefit on all purchases made via the official website, using the code ROKID10 at checkout. Looking ahead, Rokid is thrilled to showcase its innovations at CES 2025, where will continue to lead the charge in AR technology. Rokid looks forward to seeing you there and sharing the next chapter of this exciting journey.
