BEIJING, Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: HOLI) ("Hollysys" or the "Company"), a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 ended September 30, 2023.

In the industrial automation segment, the Company maintains an emphasis on research and development and technological innovation. In this fiscal quarter, the HOLLiSec-lk220T1 Programmable Logic Controller successfully passed the mandatory national standard testing of the "Critical Network Devices Security Common Requirements" (GB40050-2021). In addition, the Company successfully initiated the trial production at its Tianjin facility in this fiscal quarter. The facility is capable of delivering high-quality products and cost-effective customized solutions while ensuring small batch and multi-variety deliveries, which is expected to further empower the Company's future development.

In the chemical and petrochemical sector, the Company successfully assisted in a 20,000-ton hydrogen production from green electricity project. In collaboration with Sinopec, the Company provided an integrated solution for this project, which encompassed functions ranging from basic control and intelligent management. This breakthrough solution successfully addressed the challenge of achieving flexible and cost-effective hydrogen production while maintaining continuous and stable supply in fluctuating power scenarios. Additionally, the Company supported the low-carbon transformation of a Yunnan clean energy development company with its HiaAPC, an advanced process control system that can effectively solve the key control problems in complex industrial processes. This enabled an automatic, stable, and precise control of the hydrogen nitrogen ratio, a key process parameter for methanol synthesis reaction, and created significant economic benefits.

In the smart factory sector, the smart factory construction project of Yangfeng Group's synthetic ammonia plant was officially launched, with Hollysys providing the whole-process control optimization of the production equipment as well as the data center and operation platform, intending to establish a top-notch smart factory in China. This project marks further enhancement of Hollysys' comprehensive solution for optimizing whole-process control, digitization, informatization, and intelligent construction of large-scale coal chemical projects.

In the electricity sector, the Company entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with a hydroelectric research institute to collaborate on the research and development of the Hydroelectric Intelligent Distributed Control System (HICS), acting with a common goal to drive the intelligent transformation and advancement of China's hydropower industry.

In Rail Transportation Automation segment, the Company continued to maintain its market position. In the high-speed rail sector, its Automation Train Protection wireless download and intelligent analysis system provided high-tech support for the safe functioning of high-speed railway signal equipment during the Asian Games. The Company also delivered Radio Block Center, Train Control Center, and Element Management System as the Chinese Train Control System Level 3 supplier for the Guiyang to Libo section of the Guiyang-Nanning High-speed Railway. In addition, the Company assisted in the AC counting code transformation project of a station with its ZPW-2000S-M, a railway station coding equipment with strong system compatibility, high integration, and easy maintenance characteristics, which successfully enhanced the maintenance efficiency of the station. In the urban rail transit sector, the Company successfully completed the central level equipment switch for the Building Automatic System renovation project of Beijing Metro Line 4, as well as the network security level protection of the integrated monitoring system of Shenyang Metro Line 10.

In the mechanical and electrical solutions ("M&E") segment, the Company also manifested a stable performance with smooth executions on various projects. The risk monitor and control are still expected to be its focus in this field in the foreseeable future.

With its continuous dedication to the industry and the support of experienced and passionate experts, Hollysys believes that it will continue to create greater value for clients and shareholders.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, in evaluating our results, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin of integrated solutions contracts, non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd., as well as non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share.

These non-GAAP financial measures serve as additional indicators of our operating performance and not as any replacement for other measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures help identify underlying trends in the Company's business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the share-based compensation expenses, which are calculated based on the number of shares or options granted and the fair value as of the grant date, and amortization of acquired intangible assets. They will not result in any cash inflows or outflows. We believe that using non-GAAP measures help our shareholders to have a better understanding of our operating results and growth prospects.

Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin of integrated solutions contracts, non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd., as well as non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to gross profit and gross margin, gross profit and gross margin of integrated solutions contracts, net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd., basic and diluted earnings per share, or any other measure of performance, or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin of integrated solutions contracts, non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd., as well as non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company's data. The Company encourages investors and others to review the Company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

We define non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin as gross profit and gross margin, respectively, adjusted to exclude non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles. The following table provides a reconciliation of our gross profit and gross margin to non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin for the periods indicated.
