CATL Posts Sharp Rise in First-Quarter Net Profit
By Bingyan Wang
Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. posted a more than sixfold increase in first-quarter profit, driven by a surge in sales volume and slower increase in costs.
The Tesla Inc. supplier said Thursday that net profit jumped to 9.82 billion yuan ($1.43 billion), up sharply from CNY1.49 billion in the same period last year.
Revenue of the world's largest maker of electric-vehicle batteries almost doubled to CNY89.04 billion for the quarter.
Cost of revenue reached CNY79.32 billion, up 68% from year-earlier period, though still below the rate of growth for revenue, CATL said.
