JINHUA, China, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (“Kandi” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ GS: KNDI), a global innovator in intelligent equipment and a technology-driven platform company, today announced its financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2025.

Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights

  • Total net revenues were $87.4 million, compared with $127.6 million for 2024.
  • Gross margin increased to 42.6% from 30.8% for 2024.
  • As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and certificates of deposit totaling $211.9 million, compared with $126.3 million as of December 31, 2024.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $96.8 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $17.8 million for 2024.

Recent Developments

  • Kandi’s subsidiary, China Battery Exchange (Zhejiang) Technology Co., Ltd (“China Battery Exchange”), has entered into a three-year strategic cooperation agreement with CATL’s subsidiary, under which it has been designated as a strategic supplier for the mass production and delivery of heavy-truck battery swap station equipment. As a partner in CATL’s “Ten Thousand Station Plan,” China Battery Exchange will leverage its R&D and manufacturing expertise to support the standardized, large-scale deployment of battery swap infrastructure.
  • Kandi has entered into a strategic partnership with HawkRobo Systems LLC to establish KH Robotics, a joint venture, aimed at commercializing autonomous quadruped security robots in the North American market. KH Robotics will initially focus on logistics parks, delivering integrated autonomous security solutions with commercial deployments anticipated within 2026.

Management Remarks

Mr. Feng Chen, CEO of Kandi, commented, “In 2025, amid a complex and rapidly evolving global macroeconomic environment, Kandi formally initiated its transformation from a single-product manufacturer into a technology-driven platform company, advancing a systematic upgrade across its business structure, organizational capabilities, and industry positioning. This transformation represents both a proactive response to external shifts and a deliberate initiative aimed at driving long-term value creation.

“Within the Company’s core business, the Off-Road Electric Vehicle business delivered meaningful gross margin expansion through streamlined inventory management and technology-driven efficiency gains. This year we generated $96.8 million in net cash from operating activities and ended with $211.9 million in cash on hand. This strong liquidity position gives us the flexibility and confidence for the execution on our dual-engine strategy. On the innovation front, the Company has established a strategic partnership with CATL, becoming a designated equipment supplier for its battery-swapping station network, while also steadily advancing its intelligent robotics initiative and embodied intelligence rollout in North America.

“Looking ahead, Kandi will strengthen its core capabilities in intelligent equipment manufacturing, with battery-swapping systems and intelligent robotics serving as milestone growth incubation pillars. Supported by a global production network, the Company will continue to build out its industrial capability and solution ecosystem in line with the megatrends of electrification and intelligization, enhancing its resilience and global competitiveness and creating sustainable value.”

Full Year 2025 Financial Results

REVENUES

Net revenues were $87.4 million, a decrease of 31.5% from $127.6 million for 2024. This decrease was mainly due to reduced demand for EV products in the PRC market and fewer sales of crossover golf carts and other vehicle models. Ongoing trade uncertainties, including potential tariffs and trade restrictions, together with persistent inflation and elevated interest rates, adversely affected consumer demand for higher-priced recreational vehicles, which in turn impacted sales to Kandi’s major retail customers and distributors.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of goods sold was $50.1 million, a decrease of 43.2% from $88.3 million for 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the corresponding decrease in sales.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit was $37.3 million, compared with $39.3 million for 2024. Gross margin was 42.6%, compared with 30.8% for 2024. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by sales of inventory that was previously impaired under our inventory obsolescence reserve.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Total operating expenses were $94.5 million, a decrease of 12.6% from $108.1 million for 2024.

Research and development expenses were $7.6 million, an increase of 52.6% from $5.0 million for 2024. The increase was mainly due to the completion of research and development projects during the current period.

Selling and marketing expenses were $16.7 million, a decrease of 21.5% from $21.2 million for 2024. The decrease was mainly due to decreases in freight expenses and commission expenses, in line with the decrease in revenue.

General and administrative expenses were $54.4 million, a decrease of 5.7% from $57.7 million for 2024. The decrease was mainly due to decreased depreciation and amortization in 2025 following the material impairment of long-lived assets provisioned in 2024.

LOSS FROM OPERATIONS

Loss from operations was $57.2 million, compared with $68.8 million for 2024.

NET LOSS

Net loss was $95.6 million, compared with $51.0 million for 2024. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to higher other expenses resulting from anti-dumping duty expenses and increased litigation costs compared to the prior year.

Basic and diluted net loss attributable to the Company’s shareholders per share were $1.12, compared with basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.59 for 2024.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and certificates of deposit totaling $211.9 million, compared with $126.3 million as of December 31, 2024.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $96.8 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $17.8 million for 2024.

Conference Call

The Company’s management will hold an earnings conference call at 8:00 A.M. U.S. Eastern Time on April 28, 2026, or 8:00 P.M. Beijing Time to discuss its financial results and operating performance for the full year of 2025.
