First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues were $5.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, a decrease of 32.3% from $7.9 million in the same period last year. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a decrease in sales volume by 6,432 units, from 16,880 units in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 to 10,448 units for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the decreased average sales price of EV, which decreased by $93 per EV, from $1,053 in the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $960 in the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Retail sales revenue was $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, a decrease of 45.2% from $6.9 million in the same period last year. Wholesale revenue was $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, an increase of 42.3% from $1.0 million in the same period last year. Rental services revenue was $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The Company did not generate revenue from rental services in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The decrease in retail sales revenue is mainly due to recent lithium-battery accidents involving E-Bikes and E-Scooters. With an increasing number of lithium-battery explosion incidents in New York, customers are less inclined to purchase E-Bikes. Consequently, sales have declined as customers opt for oil-powered vehicles over electric vehicles. The decrease in retail sales also attributed in part to the closures and dispositions of the Company's retail stores during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in average sales price was primarily attributable to changes in product mix and promotional pricing strategies implemented during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in wholesales revenue was driven primarily by the increase of number of our dealers in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was $3.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, a decrease of 35.8% from $4.8 million in the same period last year. The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily attributable to more favorable pricing obtained from the Company's suppliers, particularly for batteries, as well as a reduction in sales volume, as discussed previously. These factors collectively contributed to the overall decrease in cost of revenues.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, a decrease of 27.0% from $3.1 million in the same period last year. Gross margin was 42.4% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, increased from 39.4% in the same period last year. The increase in gross margin was mainly because of the increased revenues from rental business with higher margin than other businesses. Gross margin of rental business was 79.8% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The Company did not generate profit from rental services in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, an increase of 19.7% from $3.1 million in the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses was attributable to the increase in the depreciation expense, professional fees, and product and software development expenses.
- Selling expenses were $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, a decrease of 18.1% from $1.6 million in the same period last year. Selling expenses primarily consist of payroll expenses, rent, and advertising expenses of retail stores. Total payroll expenses were $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to $0.6 million in the same period last year. Rent was $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to $0.7 million in the same period last year. Advertising expenses were $17,413 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to $68,519 in the same period last year. The decrease in rental expenses was primarily due to the closures and dispositions of retail stores during this quarter.
- General and administrative expenses were $2.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, an increase of 59.5% from $1.5 million in the same period last year. Professional fees increased to $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to $0.4 million in the same period last year, primarily attributable to the increase in audit fee, consulting fee, legal fee and IR expenses associated with the Company's follow-on public offering and ongoing reporting obligations. Payroll expenses decreased to $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 from $0.4 million in the same period last year primarily due to decrease in headcount of office assistants. Depreciation expense increased to $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to $0.2 million for the same period in prior year due to the increasing cost basis of fixed assets.
Net Loss
Net loss was $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, an increase of 1,019.0% from $0.2 million in the same period last year, which was mainly attributable to the reasons discussed above.
Basic and Diluted Losses per Share
Basic and diluted losses per share were $0.30 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to $0.04 in the same period last year.
EBITDA
EBITDA was negative $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to positive EBITDA of $57,021 in the same period last year.
Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $2.3 million, increased from $0.8 million as of March 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's financial information presented in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (the "U.S. GAAP"), management periodically uses certain "non-GAAP financial measures," as such term is defined under the rules of the SEC, to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's operating performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are included in or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For example, non-GAAP measures may exclude the impact of certain items such as acquisitions, divestitures, gains, losses and impairments, or items outside of management's control. Management believes that the following non-GAAP financial measure provides investors and analysts useful insight into its financial position and operating performance. Any non-GAAP measure provided should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the most directly comparable measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Further, the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculation of similarly titled financial measures presented by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies.
The Company uses EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) to evaluate its operating performance. The Company believes EBITDA provides additional insight into its underlying, ongoing operating performance and facilitates year-to-year comparisons by excluding the earnings impact of interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and that presenting EBITDA is more representative of its operational performance and may be more useful for investors.
The Company reconciles its non-GAAP financial measure to its net income, which is its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA includes adjustments for provision for income taxes, as applicable, interest income and expense, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income as determined by U.S. GAAP, and its calculations thereof may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. The Company believes EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance and provides useful information to investors because it highlights trends in its business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on U.S. GAAP measures and because it eliminates items that have less bearing on its operating performance. EBITDA, as presented herein, is a supplemental measure of its performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to its U.S. GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting its business. EBITDA is a measure of operating performance that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net (loss) income as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
