Good day, and thank you for joining us. Over the past year, we not only strengthened our leadership in the electric off road sector, but also enhanced our manufacturing capabilities and expanded our market reach, laying a solid foundation for the strategic progress we achieved in 2024. I am proud of the resilience and innovation demonstrated across the organization from our Board's strategic guidance to our team's daily execution and I appreciate the continued engagement of our investors. In 2024, we delivered modest yet meaningful revenue growth driven by steady demand for our electric off road vehicles and the ongoing optimization of our geographic footprint. While our revenue grew steadily, we continue to invest in the future, strengthening our overall product portfolio, advancing next generation battery technology and reinforcing our balance sheet.

This disciplined approach enabled us to preserve profitability and maintain a robust cash position as we navigated involving market dynamics. Our core electric off road segment remains the engine of Kandi's business. Last year, we introduced several new models tailored to North American's preferences, including the Innovator e 10 k utility vehicle, a new lineup of electric golf carts built for everyone from entry level riders to seasoned off road enthusiasts, as well as our limited edition NFL golf carts. Meanwhile, Kandi made a strong presence at multiple golf cart expos and industry summits, earning widespread praise price from dealers and attendees. Behind the scene, we are enhancing our operational resilience through targeted upgrades to our Taiwan manufacturing footprint.

These improvements have increased our flexibility and responsiveness enabling us to better align production with shifting customer demand while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency. To ensure we deliver on our ambitious plans, we recently implemented a management incentive program that aligns leadership rewards directly with key performance metrics. This initiative is already motivating our senior team to push harder on sales growth, operational excellence and new product development, ultimately driving improved results across the company. Looking ahead, our priorities are clear. We will bring forward innovative battery and vehicle solutions, expand our dealer network, deepen strategic partnerships and execute our U.

S. Localization roadmap highlighted by our recent partnership with CBAK Energy to localize lithium cell and pack production in The United States By aligning production closer to end markets and leveraging clean energy incentives, we are positioning Kandi for sustainable long term growth. In closing, I'm confident that the steps we have taken in 2024 have strengthened Kandi's platform and prepared us to seize new opportunities. I want to thank our employees, partners and shareholders for their trust and collaboration.
