Graphex Group Limited (NYSE American: GRFX | HKSE: 6128) and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Graphex Technologies LLC (collectively “Graphex” or “Company”), a global leader in mid-stream processing of specialized natural graphite used for electric vehicle (EV) lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, today provided its announcement of the preliminary interim financial results for the six month period ending June 30,2022, as well as an update that reflects on milestones achieved in 2022 and its objectives for the remainder of the year. The announcement was made in Hong Kong in accordance with the applicable rules of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“HKSE”). Financial results for the six month period ending June 30, 2022 that are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles will be provided on or prior to September 30, 2022. Highlights of the interim financial results.
Despite residual effects of COVID and supply chain issues, particularly in the Asian region, the Company revenues were relatively steady year over year, particularly for the graphene products segment. Graphex Group believes that such steady revenues for the graphene segment indicate continued strong demand for the entire output of refined graphene products and an opportunity for the Company to expand its graphene products business in Asia, as well as in the U.S. and globally. Combined revenues decreased slightly, driven primarily by lingering pandemic effects affecting the eco design landscape architecture and design business. The Company was able to reduce its cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses, and administrative costs. In addition, the Company was also able to decrease its debt by 33% and losses for the six month period decreased. After adjustment for non-cash depreciation and the costs of the recent uplisting to the NYSE American market, the Company’s cash flow was positive.
“We expect continued stability in the second half of 2022 and look forward to moving ahead with our expansion plans for the graphene business in Asia and the U.S.,” said Andross Chan, CEO of Graphex Group. “Growth in the EV market in Asia continues to accelerate and we believe we have positioned our graphene products very well to participate in that growth.”
The formation of Graphex Michigan I LLC, the U.S. joint venture between Emerald Energy Solutions (“EES”) and the U.S. subsidiary Graphex Technologies LLC, has marked the beginning of the participation in the global electric vehicle (“EV”) supply chain. The expansion of Graphex’s presence in the U.S. - and more specifically in Warren, (Detroit area) Michigan, the heart of the automotive sector - comes at a critical moment in global transportation history as evidenced by the recent enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which is expected to provide the largest investment to combat climate change in U.S. history. As the demand projections for electric vehicles and other sustainable energy solutions are expected to grow, there will be a parallel increase in demand for the critical minerals necessary to manufacture the Li-ion batteries that power them. Equally as important, the tremendous impetus for the industry to move supply chains away from geopolitically sensitive or logistically challenging regions and to localize end-to-end processing and production capabilities in the U.S. is at the highest intensity in decades.
