“After more than 3 months of waiting, the JV Company finally obtained the approval for a purchase tax exemption for its “Global Hawk” EV products and had a positive sales performance in May and June. The total number of EV products sold in the second quarter was 7,200, a 61.9% increase compared to the same period of 2015 and exceeded our guidance by 20%,” commented Mr. Hu Xiaoming, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kandi. “Notably, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, the parent company of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd., is planning to purchase 50% of the equity of Shanghai Maple Guorun Automobile Co., Ltd. at a premium price (a purchase price exceeding the cash amount of the aggregate of the original investment and the shared profits over the years), which will support the future growth of the JV Company and also create better conditions for the JV Company to apply for its EV production license and pursue public listing in China. Recently Zhejiang Zuozhongyou Electric Vehicles Service Co., Ltd. (the “Service Company”) expanded its micro public transportation program into two new cities, Tianjin and Jiangyin. Pang Da Automobile Trade Co., Ltd. (“Pang Da”) has also signed a framework sales agreement pursuant to which Pang Da is to buy at least 60,000 EVs in the next four years from the JV Company for its Green Campus Drive Electric Campaign. We are excited to see progress and continued business growth in the future.”

“We have performed very well financially during the second quarter of 2016,” added Mr. Wang Cheng (Henry), Chief Financial Officer of Kandi. “Our margin improved compared to the same quarter last year, and our non-GAAP net income reached $10.5 million, a 114.8% increase compared to $4.9 million in the same period of 2015. We realized positive cash flow of $3.2 million in the first half of 2016, compared to negative cash flow of $17.0 million in the same period of 2015.”

Net Revenues and Gross Profit

  2Q16 1Q16 2Q15 Q-o-Q% Y-o-Y%
Net Revenues (US$mln) $ 55.2   $ 50.7   $ 48.0     9.0 %   15.1 %
Gross Profit (US$mln) $ 8.5   $ 6.7   $ 6.5     25.9 %   30.2 %
Gross Margin   15.3 %   13.3 %   13.5 %   -     -  

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2016 increased 15.1% compared to the same quarter last year. This increase in net revenues was mainly due to the growth in EV parts sales.  Gross margin was 15.3%, 1.8% higher compared to 13.5% for the same quarter of 2015, which was the result of cost reduction on batteries purchased.

Operating Income (Loss)

  2Q16 1Q16 2Q15 Q-o-Q% Y-o-Y%
Operating Expenses (US$mln) $ 10.8   $ 8.3   $ 4.5     31.0 %   141.5 %

Operating Income (Loss) (US$mln) (Non-GAAP) $ 5.9   $ 5.3   $ 5.5     10.4 %   7.2 %

Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2016 were $10.8 million, compared with $4.5 million in the same quarter of 2015. The increase in total operating expenses was due to an increase in stock compensation expenses, which were $8.3 million in this quarter, compared with $3.5 million in the same quarter last year. Excluding stock compensation expenses, operating expenses in the second quarter of 2016 were $2.6 million, compared with $1.0 million in the same quarter last year. This increase was mainly due to the maintenance expenses of batteries and a one-time expense reversal in the second quarter of 2015.

GAAP Net Income

  2Q16 1Q16 2Q15 Q-o-Q% Y-o-Y%
Net Income (Loss) (US$mln) $ 2.8   $ 0.1   $ 5.4     3059.0 %   -48.5 %
Earnings per Weighted Average Common Share $ 0.06   $ 0.00   $ 0.12     -     -  
Earnings per Weighted Average Diluted Share $ 0.06   $ 0.00   $ 0.12     -     -

Non-GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations $ 10.5   $ 3.7   $ 4.9     185.5 %   114.8 %

Net income was $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $5.4 million in the same quarter of 2015.  Net income was affected by significant increases in stock option expense amortization, gain from the JV Company and change in the fair value of financial derivatives.

Non-GAAP net income was $10.5 million, a 114.8% increase in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $4.9 million in the same quarter of 2015. The increase in Non-GAAP net income was attributable to growth in revenue and gross profits, net profits from the JV company and government subsidy income.
