Kandi received a letter of intent from Coleman Powersports to purchase 4,800 electric golf carts for a value of $27.6 million. Coleman Powersports, a division of Newell Brands (a distributor of various camping and outdoor living gear) began purchasing the Kandi golf carts in April for sales through Lowes stores and has increased the order volume steadily up to a rate of 1,000 in September. The sales to Coleman are expected to occur in the 2023 first quarter and thus represent an 60% increase in orders for Coleman over September sales.
What does this mean for Kandi? The Off-road vehicle segment is the fastest growing division of Kandi growing more than 400% year over year in the September quarter. What’s more, it is the most profitable division for the company with operating margins in excess of 25%. The company has shifted attention away from electric cars and towards off-road vehicles and the shift has clearly paid off. The fact that the sales are going to established brand names such as Coleman and Lowes is significant and lends credence of future sales growth.
