Recent Highlights
Cheetah Chairman and CEO Tony Liu commented, “Poor economic conditions in the PRC market that began in mid-2023 have continued into 2024. Luxury import dealers are discounting the prices of their vehicles below the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, causing our gross profit margins to narrow or disappear entirely. Cheetah remains focused on executing sales to the PRC that generate favorable margins, and to that end we have delayed the purchase of additional inventory until more favorable margins become apparent. We believe this condition will reverse itself, but we cannot anticipate at this time when that turnaround may occur.”
Mr. Liu continued, “Our purchase of Edward in February was the first step in our plans to become a significant provider of warehousing and logistics businesses for other parallel-import vehicle exporters as well as non-vehicle importers and exporters. We believe this business is attractive for Cheetah given the relatively low operating costs and attractive margins that are available and the significant international trade flows we believe will continue.”
Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s revenue from parallel-import vehicle sales decreased by $8.8 million, or 86%, from approximately $10.2 million in the first quarter of 2023 to $1.4 million in 2024. This decline is due to the Company’s intentional pause in vehicle procurement in the fourth quarter, prompted by price volatility in the PRC market and the results of an earlier shift in the Company’s procurement pricing strategy.
Total cost of revenue from parallel-import vehicles sold decreased by $7.6 million, or 84.1%, from $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2023 to $1.4 million in 2024. The Company’s cost of revenue from parallel-import vehicles sold amounted to 88.9% and 100.6%, respectively, of its parallel-import vehicle revenue. The decrease in total cost of parallel-import vehicles sold reflected in large part the reduction in the number of vehicles sold. The procurement strategy shift, initiated in 2023, was also an important factor in this decrease, allowing the Company to manage costs more effectively despite external market pressures.
The Company reported total revenue of approximately $80,000 generated from logistics and warehousing services during the first quarter of 2024, of which approximately $64,000 was derived from non-vehicle-related services. Ocean freight expenses directly related to the warehousing and services segment amounted to approximately $43,000. The Company began recording logistics and warehousing revenue and expense as of February 2, 2024, the closing date of the Edward acquisition.
Selling expenses decreased by 71.6% to approximately $80,000, representing 5.2% of the Company’s total revenue, a $0.2 million decline from the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in selling expenses can be attributed primarily to a reduction in the number of vehicles sold during the fourth quarter.
Income (loss) from operations was ($0.8) million in the first quarter of 2024 compared with $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2023.
Total other expenses consisted primarily of interest expense, which decreased significantly by approximately $0.4 million, or 85.6%, to approximately $60,000 for the first quarter of 2024 from $0.4 million in 2023 in the comparable period in 2023. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to the significant drop in inventory and sales activity.
Net loss in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $0.6 million, compared with a net loss of $0.1 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Liquidity and Cash Flow
The Company reported cash of $0.9 million as of March 31, 2024. Its working capital amounted to approximately $6.3 million, consisting of $7.8 million of current assets less $1.5 million of current liabilities, of which $0.8 million represents loans payable and current portion of long-term debt. The Company’s strong working capital cushion is supported by its ability to borrow under its existing credit facilities. From time to time in the past several years, the Company has been supported by loans from its principal stockholder, and the Company believes such support will continue to be available in the future, if needed.
The Company is working to further improve its liquidity and capital sources primarily by generating cash from operations, debt financing, and, if needed, financial support from its principal stockholder. In order to fully implement its business plan and sustain continued growth, the Company may also seek additional equity financing from outside investors. Based on the current operating plan, management believes that the aforementioned measures collectively will provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company’s future liquidity and capital requirements for at least 12 months from the issuance date of its consolidated financial statements.
