(NASDAQ: NAAS), the first U.S.-listed EV charging service company in China, released its Q3 2024 earnings report, showcasing an impressive performance.According to the announcement, the company's core strategy—its charging service business—has shown strong growth, contributing RMB 42.37 million in revenue, a 36% year-over-year increase, accounting for 95% of total revenue. This highlights the success of the company’s strategic focus, which also resulted in a significant increase in gross profit margin. In Q3 2024, the gross profit margin reached a record-high 57%, up from 38% in the previous quarter. Notably, the company achieved a critical milestone this quarter by recording its first-ever positive net profit. Non-IFRS net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB 21.2 million (US$ 3.0 million) for the third quarter, signaling a successful transition to the "high-quality development" phase, focusing on profitability and marking a significant improvement in the company’s earning capabilities.Strategic Focus on Charging Services, Strengthening the Role as an Industry ConnectorNaaS's strong profitability this quarter is closely tied to its strategic decision to focus on its charging services business, which is a platform business in nature.As a leader in third-party electric vehicle (EV) charging services, NaaS does not directly operate charging stations. Instead, it leverages its robust connectivity, operational, and intelligent digital capabilities to act as an "industry connector." Positioned as a platform linking supply and demand in the EV charging industry, NaaS avoids the low-profit, high-capital-intensive energy solutions segment and emphasizes the distinct platform characteristics of its charging service business.NaaS’s charging service business is supported by its strategic partnership with the Kuaidian APP, which serves as a traffic portal to provide interconnection services for various charging operators. The partnership expands NaaS’s user outreach while  also improving EV charging stations’ utilization and operational efficiency, by drawing to them more customer traffic . For EV owners, the service enables quick searches for nearby charging stations, including real-time status updates, improving charging efficiency and optimizing the user experience.NaaS’s platform-driven charging services integrate various industry participants, enhance ecosystem construction on both the supply and demand sides, improve industry efficiency, and align the charging sector with the rapid growth of China's EV industry.This platform business requires substantial early-stage investment, including subsidies, to cultivate market habits and expand network coverage. With the rapidly evolving EV sector, characterized by technological innovation and shifting market dynamics, initial investments may be amplified. However, as the platform grows and user loyalty strengthens, the industry shifts from chaotic expansion to refined operations, with NaaS gradually realizing economies of scale and achieving profitability at scale.According to the latest financial report, NaaS is actively aligning with industry development trends by optimizing its internal processes and improving efficiency, thereby enhancing profitability. Driven by the dual forces of market demand and user growth, NaaS is gradually entering a harvest phase.The financial report shows that in Q3 2024, the company’s charging service business achieved steady growth in both GTR (Gross Take Rate) and NTR (Net Take Rate), with the proportion of profitable orders rising to 73%. The total charging volume transacted through the NaaS network reached 1.284 billion kWh, a 13% increase quarter-over-quarter. These factors collectively fueled the growth of NaaS’s charging service business and are the primary reasons behind the company achieving its first-ever quarterly non-IFRS net profit.Moving Beyond Subsidy Dependence, Achieving Organic Platform GrowthIn addition to its impressive profitability, NaaS’s charging service business has also demonstrated significant high-quality growth in scale. As the market matures, NaaS’s business shows clear scale advantages that continue to expand.Recognizing industry trends and aligning with internal capabilities, NaaS began reducing user subsidies in early 2024, transitioning from subsidy-driven growth to organic growth by expanding user acquisition channels and deepening partnerships. This shift not only allowed the company to focus on the core value of its charging services—promoting intrinsic growth through improved products and services—but also supported the development of a more stable and sustainable revenue model, strengthening its competitive moat.This shift is reflected in the financial data. Optimized subsidy policies contributed to an 81% year-over-year decrease in selling and marketing expenses to RMB 29.7 million (US$ 4.2 million) for this quarter. Despite reduced subsidies, NaaS’s platform achieved strong growth in transaction users in Q3.Besides, latest data also show the number of connected charging stations increased by 40% year-over-year to 96,000, and the total number of connected chargers rose by 49% year-over-year to 1.146 million, outpacing the industry’s average growth rate during the same period. Significant cut in expenses does not compromise the company’s continuous growth.AI-Driven Business Growth, Building an Industry EcosystemSince the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, the industry has been exploring how AI can empower various sectors, with the trend moving from general AI models to domain-specific applications—charging is no exception.AI can process and analyze vast datasets, including user needs, market trends, and historical transaction data, to accurately forecast supply-demand dynamics and provide personalized recommendations based on user behavior. This can significantly enhance supply-demand matching efficiency and accuracy, addressing key challenges such as inefficient matching and insufficient high-quality supply in the current charging industry.NaaS was an early adopter of AI and has demonstrated foresight in leveraging it to advance the charging industry.As early as 2016, NaaS began developing AI algorithms to improve transportation energy supply-demand matching, operational efficiency, and intelligent energy replenishment experiences. In 2023, the company launched its NEF (NaaS Energy Fintech) system based on advanced AI algorithms. This system manages station site selection, revenue evaluation, operational scheduling, maintenance, and more, enhancing the operational efficiency and financial sustainability of regional charging operators while improving the user experience.The scale of data often determines the intelligence level of AI algorithms. With its charging station network, NaaS has accumulated significant supply-demand data, providing an extensive stage for AI applications. In Q3, NaaS officially joined the AI Applications Alliance and is poised to continue unlocking the value of AI in the charging service industry, accelerating the digital transformation of the sector.Beyond AI-driven advancements, the rapid growth of EVs has facilitated the integration of ecosystem resources across the charging industry. NaaS is also building its own ecosystem around its charging services by establishing long-term partnerships with automotive OEMs, charging station operators, energy companies, and the State Grid. These collaborations expand infrastructure coverage, provide user-friendly experiences, and enhance customer loyalty.In August 2024, NaaS announced an in-depth partnership with FAW-Volkswagen to provide smart, efficient, and convenient charging experiences for NEV owners. In September, NaaS reached a strategic collaboration with IM Motors to offer enhanced service capabilities. These partnerships highlight NaaS’s ongoing efforts to expand the ecosystem in the EV charging industry, creating a comprehensive and robust service ecosystem.With the rapid growth of NEVs, the charging industry, as a critical supporting infrastructure, has entered a phase of accelerated expansion. As a "connector" in the charging service market, NaaS leverages AI-driven algorithms to continuously integrate resources from various industry participants and collaborate with ecosystem partners to build a mutually beneficial ecosystem. According to the latest financial report, NaaS has transitioned from the early "cash-burning" stage to a phase of refined operations, with its profitability model gradually being recognized by the market. The company is poised for large-scale profitability, supported by its wide network coverage, and its future development is highly anticipated. Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire.

This initiative is in harmony with the nation's objective of an energy transition towards sustainable energy self-sufficiency. <center><figure class="image"><img src="https://photos.acnnewswire.com/20241113.PLN.jpg" alt="Hashim Djojohadikusumo, Indonesia's Special Envoy to COP29" width="550" height="367"><figcaption>Hashim Djojohadikusumo, Indonesia's Special Envoy to COP29</figcaption></figure></center>Hashim Djojohadikusumo, Indonesia's Special Envoy to COP29, stated that under President Prabowo Subianto's leadership, Indonesia is committed to sustaining existing commitments made by preceding presidents to accelerate the energy transition and mitigate climate change."We will keep our commitments and develop new programs led by President Prabowo. Among these is an initiative to add 100 gigawatts of new power generation over the next 15 years, with renewable energy accounting for 75% (75 gigawatts). This ambitious initiative will necessitate USD 235 billion in investment," Hashim remarked at the opening of the Indonesian Pavilion at COP29 on Monday, November 11.Hashim also highlighted additional commitments, such as carbon emission reduction through Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. Indonesia is prepared to collaborate with multinational companies and other stakeholders interested in investing in this sector."Indonesia is blessed with vast saline aquifers, both onshore and offshore, providing an estimated carbon storage capacity of 500 gigatons," Hashim said.Indonesia invites international stakeholders to join in combating global warming, he noted, as the impact of climate change in Indonesia is part of a broader global challenge. "This journey will take years; it cannot be done overnight. It requires funding, technology, and knowledge," Hashim emphasized. Minister of Environment Hanif Faisol Nurofiq expressed optimism about the role of the Indonesian Pavilion at COP29, not only for Indonesia but also as a platform for global collaboration on climate mitigation solutions."The COP29 theme strongly aligns with our (Indonesian) pavilion theme, 'Sustainability Stronger Together.' This concept reflects our belief that through cooperation among nations, sectors, and communities, we can address climate change effectively," Faisol noted.The Indonesian Pavilion has three main objectives: representing Indonesia's climate diplomacy, promoting Indonesia's comprehensive climate mitigation efforts, and exploring new ideas, partnerships, and opportunities for strengthening climate resilience worldwide. Minister of Forestry Raja Juli Antoni emphasized that economic growth must be balanced with environmental protection, particularly forest conservation. He urged all stakeholders to participate in these efforts to achieve sustainable economic growth. "I encourage everyone to address our current forestry issues together. Collaboration is our collective responsibility to protect and conserve our forests, making them a source of prosperity for future generations," Raja Juli remarked. PLN CEO Darmawan Prasodjo reiterated PLN's commitment to support the Indonesian government's goal of adding new power generation capacity to achieve sustainable energy self-sufficiency. He noted that PLN has developed a roadmap and is expanding partnerships with local and global stakeholders."As the backbone of Indonesia's energy security, PLN is optimistic about achieving this target through a transition strategy focused on renewable energy and continuous sustainable development," Darmawan explained. To meet these goals, PLN has planned a Green Enabling Transmission Line to deliver clean energy from renewable sources in remote areas. Spanning 70,000 kilometers, this transmission network will connect Indonesian islands and transport clean electricity to urban demand centers. Darmawan also stressed that PLN continues to increase its renewable energy generation capacity and harness Indonesia's clean energy potential. "PLN is committed to developing supporting infrastructure, including smart grids, smart control systems, intelligent distribution, and battery storage systems to maximize renewable energy use," he stated. Collaboration, Darmawan emphasized, is essential. "PLN actively participates in global events like COP29 to strengthen partnerships for achieving sustainable energy self-sufficiency." "Global community efforts, including sustainable investments, technology transfer, and supportive policies for renewable energy development, are crucial," Darmawan concluded.

Climate Change Conference next week needs to urgently address major gaps in funding and technology and adopt fresh approaches to meet the challenges of developing countries with vulnerable communities such as Bangladesh, Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”), the country’s largest private sector power generation company, said today.Singapore-headquartered SPIL, the leading foreign direct investor in Bangladesh’s power sector, said it hoped the widely anticipated COP29 Climate Change Conference starting 11 November in Azerbaijan will lead to an actionable agenda that can balance global net zero targets with the needs of poorer countries seeking to eradicate poverty and create jobs on an accelerated scale.SPIL operates 18 power plants with a combined capacity of 2,255 MW or approximately 17% of the total installed private power generation capacity in the country of 173 million people. As a responsible company with a strong track record of providing energy and power to Bangladesh, SPIL is acutely aware of the international initiatives to de-carbonise.At COP21 in 2015, 196 countries signed the Paris Agreement with collective commitments to limit global warming. However, subsequent global financing initiatives have been deadlocked. Among the key initiatives of COP29 is a New Collective Quantified Goal to deliver substantive climate financing to regions that need it most.Beyond the pledges, global climate goals must also take into consideration challenges unique to each country, especially the lesser developed, said SPIL. Prior to COP29, SPIL had outlined its internal Climate Action Plan to support Bangladesh’s stated goal (declared at the COP26 in Glasgow in 2021) to achieve up to 40% of clean energy use in its power generation mix by 2041.“Both the national and SPIL’s own de-carbonisation targets have to be viewed against the backdrop of the pandemic and subsequent supply chain disruptions as well as the conflict in Ukraine which drove up prices of fossil fuels. Bangladesh, which has to contend with cyclones and flooding on a regular basis, has felt the impact of such disruptions more acutely than most other countries.“We hope COP29 – whose leaders have promised engagement, ambition, and action – will address decisively real-world issues from the perspective of developing nations and responsible corporates involved in the energy eco-system, such as SPIL. We look forward to holistic approaches that avoid a one-size-fits-all mindset,” SPIL said.SPIL’s Founder and Chairman, Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan, a Singapore citizen, said: “We hope COP29 adopts approaches fairly and equitably to address the social and economic impact, particularly for vulnerable communities and workers in fossil fuel industries in developing countries. A just energy transition must promote circular economy principles that benefit local populations to ensure resilience.Second, international organisations, governments, and corporations must provide funding and technology to support the energy transition. For developing countries such as Bangladesh, such approaches must combine development finance and foreign direct investments.Third, different regions will have different timelines to progress towards net zero. For the near term, Bangladesh’s power sector – which has been facing issues of imbalance of supply and demand and delays in payments – needs to reduce dependence on coal or heavy fuel oil and increase usage of natural gas which is less carbon-intensive, even as it pursues initiatives in renewable energy.”As part of its Climate Action Plan, SPIL has committed not to develop new liquid fuel-fired power plants in Bangladesh. It will also reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 10% by 2030 as compared to its 2021 baseline and plans to derive 40% of its energy generation portfolio from clean energy sources by 2040. SPIL has also formed a Sustainability Task Force under the leadership of the CEO.While recognising geographical limitations in Bangladesh for large-scale solar or wind farms, SPIL has outlined plans to invest or obtain international financial support for up to USD 3 billion in renewable energy projects in the country.About Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”)SPIL is the largest Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Bangladesh, reflecting 17% of the country's total private installed capacity and 7% of the country’s total installed capacity. SPIL owns and operates a total of 18 power plants with a combined generation capacity of 2,255MW. It also operates Bangladesh’s second Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) and LNG import terminal with daily regasification capacity of 500 million cubic feet.SPIL is a privately-held Singapore-registered company that is 78%-owned by the family of Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan. In 2016 SPIL acquired Bangladesh-registered Summit Corporation Ltd (SCL) in a transaction that was financed primarily by International Finance Corporation, the World Bank’s private sector arm. SCL holds various infrastructure assets in Bangladesh. In 2019, JERA Co., Inc., Japan’s largest power generation company, acquired a 22%-stake in SPIL and remains its second largest shareholder to date.Learn more at: <a href="http://www.summitpowerinternational.com">www.summitpowerinternational.com</a>   Media Contact WeR1 Consultants Pte Ltd WhatsApp (Text): (+65) 9748 0688 Email: <a href="mailto:summit@wer1.net">summit@wer1.net</a> Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire.
