Management Commentary
Mr. Xin Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Nisun International, commented on the results, "The 2024 fiscal year presented a challenging operating environment, primarily due to the economic slowdown in China. This broad economic shift led to a more cautious approach from individual investors who fund SME financings, prompting SMEs themselves to reduce their corporate finance activities to minimize risk. As a provider of technology-driven customized financing solutions to SMEs, this environment directly impacted our SME financing solutions revenue, which saw a decline. Similarly, the economic slowdown and the high volatility in commodity market prices affected our supply chain trading revenues, particularly in bulk trading, where we strategically scaled down volume to manage potential losses."
Mr. Liu continued, "Despite these headwinds affecting our financial performance in 2024, we remain focused on our long-term strategy and believe we are well-positioned for future growth. Our comprehensive technology-driven integrated supply chain financing solutions services, launched in January 2020, and our supply chain trading business, launched in July 2021 by leveraging our high-quality customer base and resources from supply chain financing solutions, are integral to our future. In the second half of 2024, we expanded our supply chain financing business into the gold industry, resulting in a $1.9 million increase in supply chain financing revenue compared to the first half of the year. We are actively building a solid pipeline of demand from our supply chain management and commodity trading customers. We believe this focus on integrated solutions will generate much higher margin technology financing solutions business in the future once investor risk appetite recovers and market conditions improve. Our substantial cash position also provides a solid foundation as we navigate the current economic climate and invest for the future."
Full Year 2024 Financial Results Summary
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Nisun International reported total revenue of $340.2 million, a decrease of approximately 12% from $386.7 million in the prior year. The decline was primarily attributable to decreases in revenue from SME financing solutions services and supply chain trading, driven by the economic slowdown and market volatility.
Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $309.3 million, down 11% from $346.7 million in 2023, primarily reflecting the reduction in supply chain trading volume.
Gross profit was $30.9 million in 2024, a decrease of 23% from $39.9 million in 2023. The decline in gross profit was mainly due to the decrease in revenue, impacting SME financing services, supply chain financing solution services, and the supply chain trading business.
Income from operations for 2024 was $3.6 million, a decrease of 81% from $18.8 million in 2023.
Net income for fiscal year 2024 was $5.9 million, compared to $17.7 million for fiscal year 2023.
Net income per share for fiscal year 2024 was $1.43, compared to $4.46 for fiscal year 2023.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $45.0 million. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $75.7 million in 2024, primarily reflecting higher advance deposits to key suppliers and other working-capital investments that position Nisun international to secure inventory and fulfill expanding customer demand. Management views this outflow as a strategic deployment of capital that lays the groundwork for future revenue growth and higher-margin opportunities as market conditions improve.
