Total cost of revenue decreased by $42.33 million, or 21% to $155.80 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $198.13 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to a decrease of $42.25 million in cost of revenue associated with commodity product sales.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.71 million or 9%, to $8.84 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $8.14 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of salary and employee benefits, office rental expenses, amortizations of intangible assets and convertible promissory notes, professional service fees and finance offering related fees.
