Segment Information [Abstract] |
Segment Information | 29. Segment Information The Group’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) who reviews financial information of operating segments based on US GAAP amounts when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. As a result of the Hitrans acquisition discussed in Note 11, the Group determined that Hitrans met the criteria for separate reportable segment given its financial information is separately reviewed by the Group’s CEO. As a result, the Group determined that it operated in two operating segments namely CBAT and Hitrans upon completion of acquisition. CBAT’s segment mainly includes the manufacture, commercialization and distribution of a wide variety of standard and customized lithium ion rechargeable batteries for use in a wide array of applications. Hitrans’ segment mainly includes the development and manufacturing of NCM precursor and cathode materials. The Company primarily operates in the PRC and substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the PRC. The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates performance based on each reporting segment’s net revenue, cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income, finance income (expense), other income and net income. Net revenue, cost of revenues, operating expenses, operating income, finance income (expense), other income and net income by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023 were as follows:
