QUANZHOU, China, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- INLIF LIMITED (Nasdaq: INLF) (the "Company" or "INLIF"), a company engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of injection molding machine-dedicated manipulator arms, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Mr. Rongjun Xu, the chief executive officer of INLIF, remarked, "We are thrilled to report the performance for fiscal year 2024, with growth recorded across revenue, gross profit, and net income. This success was fueled by sustained demand from existing clients and new customers acquired through our strategic marketing initiatives. Our strategic expansion also played a pivotal role in driving sales growth and penetrating new sectors and emerging markets. These combined efforts resulted in a 25.26% year-over-year increase in revenue. As sales increased, our gross margin declined slightly to 28.83%, which contributed to a 9.49% increase in gross profit, highlighting our profitability and effective cost control measures.

"In preparation for our Nasdaq listing and to unlock greater opportunities in new markets, we launched proactive marketing campaigns and offered attractive incentive commissions to enhance brand recognition and order acquisition. These efforts included participation in exhibitions across China and exploration of overseas markets, particularly in Southeast Asia and India. Meanwhile, we have supported our revenue growth with only a moderate increase in operational costs. We continued to invest in research and development, and we plan to accelerate the acquisition of talents, patents, and technologies to meet the evolving and diversifying needs of the market.

"Thanks to the outstanding efforts of our team and the strong execution of our strategic initiatives, net income rose by 18.78% during our first financial report post-listing. Looking ahead, we anticipate opportunities for continued growth and development, supported by the enhanced visibility and access to capital provided by our Nasdaq listing. In addition, the rise of emerging technology innovations and the increasing adoption of automation infrastructure are expected to significantly accelerate growth in the manipulator arms industry. We are confident that our proactive and pragmatic business strategies will place us on a sustainable and thriving path, delivering long-term value to the Company and our shareholders."
