ZIBO, China, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sunrise New Energy Co., Ltd. (“Sunrise”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) (NASDAQ: EPOW), a fast-growing innovator in graphite anode materials, today announced its latest operating results, reporting a strong turnaround to profitability in July and August 2025. The Company achieved a combined net profit of over USD 0.57 million across the two months.

In July 2025, Sunrise recorded sales revenue of approximately USD 5.2 million and net profit of USD 0.41 million. In August, the Company generated sales revenue of approximately USD 4.7 million and net profit of USD 0.16 million.

The strong performance reflects Sunrise’s ongoing efforts to optimize its cost control systems and enhance production efficiency. By gradually shifting from fully outsourced graphitization processing to an increasing proportion of in-house graphitization, the Company has effectively reduced production costs, thereby improving profitability. Once in-house graphitization reaches 100% of production, costs are expected to decline further.

To support efficiency improvements and strengthen its value chain, Sunrise is simultaneously advancing its capacity expansion plans. In September 2025, the Company commenced construction of its 20,000-ton high-end graphite anode production line in Anlong County, Qianxinan Prefecture, Guizhou Province. Upon completion and full production, the new line is expected to significantly boost Sunrise’s supply capacity and further enhance profitability in the years ahead.
