The company achieved an increase in income from operations by nearly 10% to $11.1 million. However, net income attributable to shareholders decreased to $5.5 million due to higher income tax expenses.

Looking ahead, China Automotive Systems’ management remains optimistic about continued growth, supported by strong cash reserves and a positive market outlook. The company has raised its revenue guidance for the full year 2024, reflecting confidence in its strategic direction and market positioning.
