SHANGHAI, July 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nisun International Enterprise Development Group Co., Ltd. (“Nisun International” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NISN), a technology and industry driven integrated supply chain solutions provider, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Financial Highlights:

  • Revenue: Total revenue for the year was $386.7 million, representing a 65% increase compared to $234.2 million in 2022.
  • Gross Profit: Gross profit increased to $40.0 million from $37.0 million in the previous year.
  • Net Income: Net income for 2023 was $17.7 million.
  • Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company ended the year with $114.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.
  • Earnings per Share (EPS): The Company reported earnings of $4.46 per share, with a cash per share value of $29.0.

CEO’s Comments:

Xin Liu, CEO of Nisun International, commented, “We are thrilled to report another year of outstanding financial performance, underscoring the success of our strategic initiatives and operational excellence. Our revenue growth of 65% is a testament to our robust supply chain solutions.  We have made significant strides in expanding our supply chain capabilities,  diversifying into other agricultural products. These efforts have positioned us well for sustained growth and profitability.”

Mr. Liu continued, “Despite our strong financial performance, substantial cash reserves of $29.0 per share, and robust earnings, our stock trades at just over one times annual earnings by the end of June. We believe this significantly undervalues our company. The Board of Directors and I are actively considering strategic alternatives to unlock shareholder value and better align our market valuation with the intrinsic value of our company. Our strong cash position and ongoing growth initiatives provide a solid foundation for these efforts.”

Operational Highlights:

  • Supply Chain Trading and Solutions: Nisun International continues to enhance its supply chain trading and financing solutions capabilities, leveraging state-of-the-art technology to streamline operations and reduce costs. The Company successfully managed the daily supply of 3.6 to 6 million eggs to major online platforms across key regions.
  • Geographical Expansion: The Company’s supply chain operations now span multiple regions, enabling delivery of a diverse range of products. This extensive network ensures seamless operations and strengthens Nisun’s market presence.
  • Diversification: Nisun has expanded its supply chain solutions to include other agricultural products, positioning the Company for substantial growth in the agricultural sector.

Looking Ahead:

Mr. Liu added, “Our commitment to innovation and excellence remains unwavering as we continue to drive growth and create value for our shareholders. The strategic expansion of our supply chain solution  will enable us to meet the evolving needs of our customers and capitalize on new market opportunities. We are excited about the future and confident in our ability to achieve even greater success.”
