ReTo Eco-Solutions Reports First Half of 2021 Financial Results
BEIJING, Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ReTo Eco-Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: RETO) ("ReTo" or the "Company") a provider of technology solutions for the improvement of ecological environments, today announced its financial results for the first half of the financial year ending June 30, 2021. RETO is a manufacturer and distributor of eco-friendly construction materials as well as equipment used for the production of eco-friendly construction materials. RETO also engages in consultation, design, project implementation, and construction of urban ecological projects, including those for the purpose of capturing, controlling, and reusing rainwater, commonly called "sponge cities."
CEO Comments
Mr. Hengfang Li, ReTo's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The COVID-19 pandemic was primarily responsible for the difficult first half of fiscal year 2021 for RETO. The international equipment market is struggling to recover from the pandemic. Currently, China's infrastructure spending has decreased, meaning the demand for building materials has reduced. We have adjusted our strategy to refocus on science- and technology-led ecological and environmental protection which is "Technology Improves Ecology". We have increased our investment in ecological restoration, ecological governance technology and market development, and have launched such projects in a few counties in Shanxi Province. This will enable us to improve the company's performance in the second half of the year. We have also increased our investment in the research and development of new equipment and technologies in solid waste utilization. The Research and Demonstration of Digital Ecological Creative Design for Winter Olympics Shougang Competition Venues, our national scientific research project, , as undertaken by the Company in conjunction with Tsinghua University, has entered the final delivery stage. Furthermore, as it completes the national science and technology research projects, the Company has also been preparing to register patents in printing large construction parts using solid waste and 3D printing technology, which laid the foundations for the development of our new technologies. We expect the Company to undertake a breakthrough in the second half of the year in sewage treatment equipment for villages and towns to assist in beautifying the villages of China. We will take further measures to develop or acquire new technologies to empower traditional industries and gradually accomplish the construction of an ecological restoration industrial chain."
Mr. Hengfang Li continued, "In summary, we strive to not only complete scientific and technological development of traditional businesses, but also utilize new technologies to expand new business formats, which will enable RETO to become a supplier and operator of comprehensive solid waste applications and ecological restoration and treatment solutions. We are confident about RETO's role in traditional industries, but we also expect to increase our presence in new industries, such as solid waste management, and ultimately become a leader in the field that improves the ecology with scientific and technological advancement, thereby creating more value for the shareholders and making a greater contribution to the social ecology."
