HONG KONG, Feb. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CLPS Incorporation (Nasdaq: CLPS) ("CLPS" or "the Company"), today released a letter to shareholders from the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), the full text of which is provided below. All CLPS shareholders are encouraged to read it.
Dear Shareholders,
The Board of CLPS wishes you a prosperous Year of the Rabbit!
Our business has remained resilient despite various macroeconomic disruptions in 2022. We are proud of our accomplishments primarily driven by our dedicated employees and management team, along with the effectiveness of our strategy. We achieved milestones in our topline growth, product development, strategic partnership, operational optimization, and global expansion.
Here is a recap of our accomplishments in 2022 and a discussion of our plans going forward:
1. New products and businesses
CLPS made a series of achievements in product development and business expansion.
Currently being marketed in Hong Kong, the two latter products are also due to be rolled out this 2023 to small and medium-sized banks in Macau and across Southeast Asian countries to provide them with a full range of integrated services for their credit card and credit loan businesses.
We are optimistic that the success of these products will eventually contribute to our revenue growth.
We also pursued exploring overseas market and attended international fintech conferences in Hong Kong, Singapore and other cities to showcase our products and competitive advantages to global clients and partners.
Going forward, we are fully committed to our innovation initiative through the development of more fintech products and services, and build an exclusive financial ecosystem that will enable our clients within the financial industry to take digital transformation forward and achieve agile business management.
2. Strategic Partnerships
We entered into a strategic partnership with DaoCloud, a cloud service provider in China, to jointly develop a series of fintech solutions based on cloud-native application modernization and to explore business opportunity into the overseas market.
To advance our evolving global presence, we strengthened our international partnerships:
To develop world-class and highly-skilled IT talents, we signed school-enterprise collaboration agreements with:
These partnerships further broaden the scope of our Talent Creation Program and overseas business footprint.
3. Operations
CLPS has optimized and fine-tuned the Company's operational structure.
Mr. Srustijeet Mishra, CEO of CLPS SEA, was appointed to concurrently serve as the CEO of CLPS California, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to further integrate the development and management of our international business activity, particularly in the U.S. and Southeast Asia region.
Our upgraded content delivery network allowed us to achieve improved operational performance across the globe, such as in Vietnam, a recently opened office that supports our business in Southeast Asia and other regions due to the increased demand for IT services.
Further, our delivery centers across Mainland China including Shanghai, Xi'an, Chengdu, and Hangzhou, among other key cities have moved to strategic locations to better serve our clients.
4. Financial Performance
As highlighted on our financial results for the fiscal year 2022:
We kicked off 2023 on a high note with CLPS's first special cash dividend payout. It was a decision made by the Board to thank you, our shareholders, for your support and trust in us, and to reaffirm our confidence in the Company's business strength and development prospects. The Board intends to declare dividend in the future depending on the Company's financial performance and results of operation.
Looking ahead, it will always be our top priority to strive for excellence to achieve our goals. We are committed to improving our business performance and engagement by implementing our dual-engine strategy, accelerating our expansion into global market, boosting product competitiveness, attracting more clients, and enhancing operational efficiency. I look forward to another progressive year at CLPS as we strive to deliver long-term shareholder value.
