ZJK Industrial Co., Ltd. Announces Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2024

 

Shenzhen, China, April 28, 2025 -- ZJK Industrial Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: ZJK) (“ZJK Industrial”, “ZJK” or the “Company”), a high-tech precision parts and hardware manufacturer for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, consumer electronics, electric vehicles, aerospace and other smart technologies, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Mr. Ning Ding, Chief Executive Officer of ZJK Industrial, commented: “We are pleased to report strong performance for fiscal year 2024. During this period, our revenue increased by 30.13%, driven by robust growth in sales volume for the year ended December 31, 2024. Amid the ongoing AI-related industry growth, sales volume increased across all product segments—ranging from over 7% to 50%—thanks to our flexible pricing strategy tailored to the rise in AI-related projects. To meet rising demand and fulfill a growing pipeline of purchase orders, we have been expanding our production capabilities by upgrading our facilities and adding new equipment. As a result of these initiatives, our gross profit rose by 23.09%, although our gross margin slightly declined to 35.88% from 37.93%.

 

In 2024, selling and marketing expenses increased significantly—by approximately 169.08%—as we pursued business expansion in global markets. At the same time, we increased our research and development (R&D) investment by 20.36% to recruit top talent and support our continued growth, reflecting our deep commitment to technological innovation and high quality.

 

These efforts are bearing fruit, as evidenced by our emerging new products and advanced technologies—for example, a series of high-quality innovative products launched at NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference in March 2025—as well as our recognition as one of the Top 100 Enterprises by the local government in April 2025, in acknowledgment of our outstanding performance and contributions to the region’s economic and technological development.

 

We will continue to execute our business strategy and operational initiatives to seize opportunities presented by the next wave of technological innovation. At the same time, we will strengthen our supply chain resilience to diversify and mitigate risks associated with global uncertainties.”

Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

 

Revenues

 

Total revenues were US$37.81 million in fiscal year 2024, an increase of 30.13% from US$29.05 million in fiscal year 2023. The increase was mainly due to the sales volume of products for fiscal year 2024 increased by 27.58% compared to that for fiscal year 2023, with a slightly increase in average unit sales price of products, particularly in AI-related projects added in 2024.

 

 

 

For screws products, the sales volume for fiscal year 2024 increase by 32.17% with a slightly decrease in average unit sales price, compared to that for fiscal year 2023, contributing an increase of US$3.77 million in revenue. The sales volume increased mainly due to a price reduction strategy to maintain customer order share in 2024. For turned parts, the sales volume and the average sales unit price for fiscal year 2024 increase by 7.35% and 15.69%, respectively, compared to that for fiscal year 2023, contributing an increase of US$3.22 million in revenue. For stamping parts, the sales volume and the average sales unit price for fiscal year 2024 increased by 50.62% and 99.07%, respectively compared to that for fiscal year 2023, contributing an increase of US$1.68 million in revenue. The sales volume and the average sales unit price of both turned parts and stamping parts increased mainly due to the addition of AI-related projects and customers with premium pricing in 2024, particularly in stamping parts.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenue was US$24.24 million in fiscal year 2024, an increase of 34.43% from US$18.03 million in fiscal year 2023, which was mainly due to the increasing sales volume of products.

 

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

 

Gross profit was US$13.57 million in fiscal year 2024, an increase of 23.09% from US$11.02 million in fiscal year 2023. Gross profit increased mainly due to the increased sales volume and the increased average sales unit price of turned parts and stamping parts.

 

Gross profit margin was 35.88% in fiscal year 2024, decreased from 37.93% in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was mainly due to (i) higher sales of lower-margin screws, exacerbated by increasing volume of free samples that reduced effective revenue per unit; (ii) reductions in unit price for screws to maintain the cooperative relationship with existing customers. However, the decline was partially offset by margin improvements in turned parts and stamping parts.

 

Total Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses were US$11.93 million in fiscal year 2024, an increase from US$4.74 million in fiscal year 2023.

 

·General and administrative expenses were US$6.71 million in fiscal year 2024, an increase of 164.88% from US$2.53 million in fiscal year 2023, which was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of US$3.92 million in professional service fees due to increases of audit fee arising from the initial public offering and financing consulting fees, and (ii) an increase of US$0.34 million in salaries and benefits for administrative personnel due to an increase of employee headcounts resulting from business growth.

 

·Selling and marketing expenses were US$4.71 million in fiscal year 2024, an increase of 169.08% from US$1.75 million in fiscal year 2023, which was primarily due to (i) an increase of US$2.21 million in sales commission resulting from business expansion into markets such as North America, Singapore, and Taiwan, China, and (ii) an increase of US$0.55 million in freight costs for sale of products mainly due to expanded shipping demands for deliveries to overseas regions such as Taiwan, China, North America, Singapore and India, as business operations scaled up in 2024.

 

·Research and development expenses were US$0.55 million in fiscal year 2024, an increase of 20.36% from US$0.46 million in fiscal year 2023, which was primarily attributable to an increase of US$0.11 million in salaries and benefits for research and development personnel due to an increase of employee headcounts resulting from business growth, and was partially offset by a decrease of US$0.02 million in material consumption as the types of products the Company developed in 2024 have a less material consumption than that in 2023.

 

Net Income

 

Net income was US$3.66 million in fiscal year 2024, a decrease of 52.37% from US$7.69 million in fiscal year 2023.

 

 

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share were US$0.06 in fiscal year 2024, compared to US$0.13 in fiscal year 2023.
