We achieved an improvement in gross margin to 41.1%, supported by cost reductions and more favorable pricing obtained from our suppliers, particularly in battery sourcing. We are positive about our growth prospects despite the dip in revenue caused by short-term external factors, as we have established solid reputation and continued to invest in marketing and product diversification. With a focus on innovation, we now offer a broad and growing product portfolio of over 100 models across E-motorcycles, E-bikes, and E-scooters. Our rental service, which is already active in New York City, Toronto, and Los Angeles, is gaining strong traction, and we are excited to extend it to Miami and other markets in the near future."
Mr. Ou added, "Following our successful registered direct public offering in June 2025, we believe we are well-capitalized to invest in inventory, vehicle production, and working capital. Looking forward, we remain focused on improving product safety, expanding our geographic reach, and investing in digital platforms such as the Go Fly app to enhance the customer experience and operational visibility. We believe our continued investment in safety, service, and innovation will prepare Fly-E for sustained long-term growth."
Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues were $25.4 million in fiscal year 2025, a decrease of 21.0% from $32.2 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in sales volume by 10,846 units, from 69,611 units in fiscal year 2024, to 58,765 units in fiscal year 2025.
Retail sales revenue was $21.7 million in fiscal year 2025, a decrease of 17.7% from $26.4 million in fiscal year 2024. Wholesale revenue was $3.5 million in fiscal year 2025, a decrease of 39.3% from $5.8 million in fiscal year 2024. Rental services sales revenue was $0.2 million in fiscal year 2025. The Company did not generate revenue from rental services sales in fiscal year 2024. 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 disposition of the Company's retail stores during fiscal year 2025. The decrease in wholesales revenue was driven primarily by the closure of stores by the top two customers who closed their stores in December 2023 due to lack of profitability.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was $15.0 million in fiscal year 2025, a decrease of 21.6% from $19.1 million in fiscal year 2024. 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. The unit cost for battery decreased by 11%, from $112 in fiscal year 2024, to $99 in fiscal year 2025.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $10.5 million in fiscal year 2025, a decrease of 20.3% from $13.1 million in fiscal year 2024. Gross margin was 41.1% in fiscal year 2025, increased from 40.7% in fiscal year 2024.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $15.0 million in fiscal year 2025, an increase of 52.5% from $9.8 million in fiscal year 2024. The increase was attributable to the increase in the payroll expenses, rent, professional fees, product and software development expenses and settlement payments.
- Selling expenses were $7.4 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to $5.9 million in fiscal year 2024. Selling expenses primarily consist of payroll expenses, rent, and advertising expenses of retail stores. Total payroll expenses were $3.3 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to $1.6 million in fiscal year 2024. Rent expenses were $2.9 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to $2.4 million in fiscal year 2024. Advertising expenses were $0.3 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to $64,423 in fiscal year 2024. The increase in payroll expenses was primarily due to the increased number of new employees hired for business operations in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2025, despite a reduction in headcounts in the last quarter resulting from closures and dispositions of retail stores. The increase in rental expense was primarily due to the expansion of retail stores to support the Company's business growth and operational needs. The rise in advertising expense was mainly driven by intensified marketing campaigns and promotional activities aimed at enhancing brand visibility. Total commission expenses were $9,980 in fiscal year 2025, compared to $1.1 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease in the commission expenses was primarily due to the Company's discontinuation of marketing referral expenses for promotions as of January 1, 2024.
- General and administrative expenses were $7.6 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to $3.9 million in fiscal year 2024. Professional fees increased to $2.0 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to $1.0 million in fiscal year 2024, primarily attributable to the increase in audit fee, consulting fee, legal fee and IR expenses associated with the Company's initial public offering and ongoing reporting obligations. Payroll expenses increased to $1.5 million in fiscal year 2025 from $1.1 million in fiscal year 2024 primarily due to additional employees hired in operation and accounting departments. Insurance expenses increased to $1.1 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to $0.2 million for the same period of prior year as a result of increased general insurance of the stores and the purchase of directors and officers liability insurance after initial public offering in fiscal year 2025. Software development fee increased to $0.5 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to $0.3 million for the same period in prior year due to the increasing development fee of Fly E-Bike app and the increasing maintenance fee of Go Fly App. There were settlement payments of $1.0 million in fiscal year 2025 in connection with the settlement payments to UL LLC.
Net Income (Loss)
Net loss was $5.3 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to net income of $1.9 million in fiscal year 2024, mainly attributable to the reasons discussed above.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Losses) per Share
Basic and diluted losses per share were $1.10 in fiscal year 2025, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.43 in fiscal year 2024.

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.
