you for your participation. In the past year, we have not only ensured the leadership position of electric and non-official areas, but also improved the ability to make progress in the development of the market and the coverage of the market. We have established a solid foundation for the strategic progress achieved in 2024. I am very proud of the hard work and innovative spirit of the entire team. Regardless of the board's strategic guidance or the daily operations of our colleagues, I am also very grateful to the investors for their continued support and communication.

Good day and thank you for joining us. Over the past year, we not only strengthened our leadership in the electric off-road sector, but also enhanced our manufacturing capabilities and expanded our market reach, laying a solid foundation for the strategic progress we achieved in 2024. I am proud of the resilience and innovation demonstrated across the organization from our board's strategic guidance to our team's daily execution, and I appreciate the continued engagement of our investors.

In 2024, we achieved a

warm but also realistic growth in income. The main goal is to continue to optimize the steady demand, support and land layout While the income is steadily growing, we still insist on investing in the future, continue to strengthen the overall product combination, promote the development of the next-generation electronic technology, and further strengthen the development of the new technology.

speaker
Kiwa Luno
Invest Relations Manager

In 2024, we delivered modest yet meaningful revenue growth driven by steady demand for our electric off-road vehicles and the ongoing optimization of our geographic footprint. While our revenue grew steadily, we continue to invest in the future, strengthening our overall product portfolio, advancing next-generation battery technology, and reinforcing our balance sheet. This disciplined approach enabled us to preserve profitability and maintain a robust cash position as we navigated involving market dynamics. Our core electric off-road segment remains the engine of Candy's business. Last year, we introduced several new models tailored to North American preferences, including the innovator E10K utility vehicle, a new lineup of electric go-karts built for everyone from entry-level riders to seasoned off-road enthusiasts, as well as our limited edition SL golf carts. Meanwhile, Candy made a strong presence at multiple golf cart expos and industry summits, earning widespread praise from

dealers and attendees. Behind the scene, we are enhancing our

operational resilience through targeted upgrades to our Taiwan manufacturing footprint. These improvements have increased our flexibility and responsiveness, enabling us to better align production with shifting customer demand while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency. To ensure we deliver on our ambitious plans, we recently implemented a management incentive program that aligns leadership rewards directly with K performance metrics. This initiative is already motivating our senior team to push harder on sales growth, operational excellence, and new product development, ultimately driving improved results across the company. Looking ahead, our priorities are clear. We will bring forward innovative battery and vehicle solutions, expand our dealer network, deepen strategic partnerships, and execute our U.S. localization roadmap, highlighted by our recent partnership with CBAK, energy to localize lithium
