Mingzhu Announces Unaudited Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

 

SHENZHEN, China, December 28, 2022 – MingZhu Logistics Holdings Limited (“MingZhu” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YGMZ), an elite provider of logistics and transportation services to businesses, today announced its financial results for the six months period ended June 30, 2022.

 

Mr. Jinlong Yang, CEO of MingZhu, commented, “We ended the first half of 2022 in a stronger financial performance, with 528% year over year revenue growth, with positive net income of $0.07 per share compared to a loss in the year ago period. We have been successfully executing on multiple fronts, while continuing to navigate the challenged COVID-19 environment. Of note, we have shifted to an asset-light strategy.”

 

Mr. Jinlong Yang, CEO of MingZhu, continued, “We continue to make significant progress in our business diversification strategy, including the successful acquisition of Yinhua (BVI) Limited (the “Yinhua”) in March 2022, that directly increased our revenue by $13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. We reentered the coal transportation market with our asset-light strategy during the first half year of 2022. We are aiming to further strengthen our market reach and extend our progress in the near future. Our team is confident that we can align our business direction and strategic objectives to achieve long-term stable and sustainable performance growth in the post-epidemic era.”

 

Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

 

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased by $50.7 million, or 528.1%, to $60.3 million from $9.6 million for the same period of last year. This increase was mainly attributable to the acquisition of Cheyi (BVI) Limited (the “Cheyi”) and Yinhua.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $158,001, or 16.9%, to $1,090,410 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $932,409 for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to the decrease of professional fees and the increase from two newly acquired businesses. Total operating expenses increased by $49.2 million, or 534.8%, to $58.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $9.2 million for the same period of last year.

 

Net income increased by $2,000,827, or 562.4%, to $1,645,083 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from a loss of $355,744 for the same period of last year. Net income margin was 2.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to -3.7% for the same period of last year. The increase in net income was primarily due to the effect of our asset-light strategy and the acquisition of Cheyi and Yinhua.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had a balance of cash of $3.7 million compared to $5.8 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was due to the cash payment made for the acquisition of Yinhua. Accounts receivable were $23.3 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $3.7 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase of accounts receivable was mainly due to the acquisition of Yinhua, which had a significant expansion in second quarter of 2022. The balance of prepayment to suppliers was $4.4 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $5.5 million as of December 31, 2021. The decrease was attributable to the Company’s partial retrieved payments back from suppliers. Loans receivable was increased by $12.9 million as the Company continue to build up strategic alliance as planned. Total working capital was $11.0 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $5.3 million as of December 31, 2021.

 

 

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $5.0 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in payment to suppliers. Resulting from the new purchases of equipment, net cash used in investing activities was increased from $57,204 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, to $932,790 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $7.6 million for the same period of last year. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in proceeds from equity financing activities and the loan from commercial banks.
