Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Greenland's revenue was approximately $21.68 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing a decrease of approximately $1.05 million, or 4.6%, as compared to approximately $22.72 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in revenue was primarily the result of a decrease of approximately $0.84 million in the Company's sales volume of transmission products for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuation, our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by approximately 4.5% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The total cost of goods sold decreased by approximately $2.06 million, or 12.1%, to approximately $15.02 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to approximately $17.08 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Gross profit increased by approximately $1.01 million, or 18.0%, to approximately $6.66 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to approximately $5.65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Greenland's gross margins were approximately 30.7% and 24.9%, respectively. The increase in gross margins in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to a shift in Greenland's product mix towards higher value and more sophisticated products.
Total operating expenses were $1.85 million, a decrease of 50.2% from $3.72 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower advertising and marketing expenses, shipping fees, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses.
Income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $4.81 million, an increase of 149.6%, as compared to approximately $1.93 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net income was approximately $4.56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of approximately $0.99 million, as compared to approximately $3.57 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net income per basic and diluted share was $0.29 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $0.18 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2025, Greenland had approximately $5.40 million of cash and cash equivalents, representing a decrease of approximately $1.26 million, or 18.86%, as compared to approximately $6.66 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease of cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to an increase in accounts receivables and fixed deposit, as compared to as of December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, Greenland had approximately $2.14 million of restricted cash, representing an increase of approximately $0.19 million, or 9.78%, as compared to approximately $1.95 million as of December 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2025, Greenland had approximately $21.42 million of accounts receivables, an increase of approximately $5.63 million, or 35.63%, as compared to approximately $15.80 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in accounts receivables was due to our slowed-down efforts in receivables collections.
As of March 31, 2025, Greenland had approximately $20.68 million of notes receivables, which Greenland expects to collect within the next twelve months. The decrease was approximately $2.05 million, or 9.04%, as compared to approximately $22.74 million as of December 31, 2024.
Greenland's working capital was approximately $37.29 million as of March 31, 2025, as compared to $35.11 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in working capital of $2.18 million was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable.
