Ms. Sun “Ice” Lei, Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented: “I am pleased to report that our three-year turnaround strategy, which we began implementing in 2021, has been successful. Our main goal was to drive rapid revenue growth in the first two years, with the aim of achieving profitability by 2023. I am incredibly proud that we have accomplished this milestone. Our business model has proven its ability to quickly scale up revenue. Based on fine-tuning the model during the first 6 months, we reached a net profit margin of 11%.

 

To adapt to changes in the global economic environment post-pandemic, we will continue seizing growth opportunities in cross-border business as markets reopen. While consolidating and expanding our core tourism related technical services and auto import/export businesses, we will continue investment in profitable business lines to ensure the company’s financial resilience.

 

Additionally, with AI technology becoming a global development focus, we will make the development and application of intelligent technologies a key business area this year.

With these measures and the strong foundation we have built, I am confident our financial performance will continue improving in the periods ahead.”
