First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

Revenue

Total revenue was $9.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, which increased by 22.9% from $7.5 million for the same period of last year.

The following table sets forth revenue by interconnect products: 

Revenue generated from cables and wire harnesses increased by 24.9%, to $8.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $6.9 million for the same period of last year. Revenue generated from connectors remained essentially unchanged compared to the same period last year.

The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume and partially offset by the decrease in the average selling price of products. The increase in demand was mainly due to that customers had utilized their inventories previously purchased  and increased their orders accordingly.

The following table sets forth the disaggregation of revenue by regions:

Revenue generated from Europe increased by 29.7%, to $5.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $4.3 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to the increase of sales in Denmark of $1.0 million and Bulgaria of $0.2 million.

Revenue generated from Asia increased by 14.6%, to $2.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $2.4 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to sales increases in Hong Kong, China of $0.1 million, and sales increases in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, of $0.2 million.

Revenue generated from the Americas increased by 9.9%, to $0.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $0.8 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to sales increases in Northern America of $0.08 million.

Revenue from other regions was mainly derived from Australia.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased by 23.9%, to $6.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $5.2 million for the same period of last year, which was in line with the increase of the total revenue.

Inventory costs amounted to $4.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.5 million for the same period of last year. The increase of inventory costs was primarily due to a 47.5% increase in the total sales volume and a 13.6% decrease in the inventory cost per unit.

Labor costs amounted to $1.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1.2 million for the same period of last year. The increase of labor costs was primarily due to the increase in production volume as a result of an increase in sales volume.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased by 20.5%, to $2.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $2.3 million for the same period of last year.

Gross profit margin was 29.8% for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared with 30.4% for the same period of last year. The gross profit margin was basically consistent with the same period of 2023. The Company recruited more workers to cope with the increased sales volume, and the increased labor costs eroded profits, resulting in a decrease in gross profit margin.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by 38.5%, to $3.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $2.6 million for the same period of last year. The expense increase was mainly due to the increases in the selling expenses of $0.3 million, inclusive of $0.2 million in costs relating to market development and expansion to ASEAN market, and general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million, inclusive of $0.6 million in agent and professional fees for expenses related to compliance requirements as a public company following the IPO in the U.S..

Other Income/(Expenses)

Other income/(expenses) decreased by $0.8 million, to other expenses of $0.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from other income of $0.6 million for the same period of last year, primarily due to the decrease in foreign exchange gain.

Income tax benefit

Income tax benefit increased by 170.7%, to $0.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $0.1 million for the same period of last year, which was due to the loss of CCSC Technology Group for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Net (Loss)/Income

Net income decreased by 280.0%, to net loss of $0.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from net income of $0.4 million for the same period of last year.

Basic and Diluted (Loss)/Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.06 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.04 for the same period of last year.
