Mr. Yujun Xiao, Chief Executive Officer of HUHUTECH, commented, "Fiscal year 2024 was a year of expansion as we strengthened our market presence both domestically and internationally, laying a solid foundation for long-term success. We delivered $18.1 million in total revenue, representing an 8.5% increase year-over-year, driven by robust growth in product sales and system integration projects, especially in Japan. Gross profit rose 21.1% to $6.6 million, with gross margin improving to 36.1% from 32.3% in the same period last year.

Our strategic expansion in the Japanese market was underscored by the successful launch of our semiconductor industry-supporting warehousing and logistics center in Kumamoto. In line with Japan's Semiconductor Revival Initiative, the facility supports the region's growing semiconductor manufacturing clusters and reflects our commitment to building scalable infrastructure in high-growth markets. Another major milestone in 2024 was our successful initial public offering. With our Nasdaq listing, we are better positioned to accelerate innovation, enhance brand visibility, and pursue global opportunities. This achievement also underscores our commitment to long-term value creation through global market expansion."

Mr. Xiao continued, "Looking ahead, we will continue to build on this momentum by expanding our marketing and sales teams, deepening client relationships, and advancing targeted R&D--particularly in exploring the development of Factory Management and Control System and related new equipment. We also plan to broaden our product and service offerings to further penetrate key markets. Through these efforts, we are confident in delivering innovative solutions that improve efficiency, elevate performance, and set new standards in factory facility management across an evolving industrial landscape."
