The decrease was mainly attributable to reduced demand in our equipment sales business.
Our cost of revenues decreased by approximately $6.0 million or approximately 22.0% to approximately $21.4 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2024 from approximately $27.4 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily aligned with the reduction in equipment sales volume.
Our total gross profit amounted to $9.7 million and $8.7 million for fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our overall gross profit margins improved to approximately 31.3% for fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 from approximately 24.0% for fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The improvement in gross profit margin was primarily due to our strategic focus on higher-margin business segments and improved cost management.
Selling and distribution expenses mainly included promotion and marketing expenses and transportation expenses for inbound and outbound shipments. Our selling and distribution expenses were approximately $1.7 million and approximately $1.0 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing approximately 5.5% and approximately 2.6% of our total revenue for the corresponding years.

Net loss amounted to $2.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, compared to net income of approximately $1.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
