Mr. Yingkai Xu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mingteng International, remarked, “In fiscal year 2024, we made several strategic decisions, including expanding our production capacity and increasing our workforce, to adapt to evolving market dynamics and rising competition. While these initiatives resulted in higher investments and operating expenses, we achieved solid revenue growth of 23.0%, underscoring the effectiveness of our business strategy and the strength of our long-standing relationships with major customers. Notably, our machining services have become a key growth driver due to prioritized resource allocation. This segment grew by an impressive 327.6% during this year, surpassing our mold repair business to become the second-largest revenue contributor, accounting for the 21.2% of total revenue in fiscal year 2024.
As a result of scaling up our operations, our cost of revenues rose at a faster pace. However, we managed to maintain a healthy gross margin above 30%, despite increased costs and relatively stable selling prices. This demonstrates our ability to sustain profitability while building a strong business foundation for the future growth. Overall, we remained committed to our core strengths in technical expertise, service reputation, and product quality, even in the face of external challenges. The past year was a transformative for Mingteng International, marked by significant expansion, we believe these efforts have laid a robust foundation for long-term, sustainable growth.
