iPower Reports Fiscal Q2 2026 Results and Completes Strategic Operating Reset
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Feb. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iPower Inc. (NASDAQ:IPW) ("iPower" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2025. Revenue was $7.1 million, reflecting the Company's deliberate supply chain restructuring and transition to predominantly U.S.-based sourcing during the quarter, while gross profit was $3.1 million and gross margin remained strong at 44.0%. Total operating expenses declined 28% year-over-year to $5.6 million compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Net loss attributable to iPower was $1.2 million, or $(1.08) per share. The Company reported $2.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, $2.2 million of restricted cash, and approximately $2.2 million of digital assets.
During December 2025, the Company implemented a Digital Asset Treasury ("DAT") strategy with an institutional investor after closing on the first tranche of an up to $30 million convertible note offering, receiving $6.5 million in gross proceeds. Subsequent to quarter-end, in February 2026, iPower completed the divestiture of Global Product Marketing Inc. ("GPM") for approximately $2.3 million in total consideration and authorized a $2 million share repurchase program.
Management Commentary
"Our fiscal second quarter reflects a deliberate strategic transition," said Lawrence Tan, CEO of iPower. "In December 2025, we implemented our first institutional Digital Asset Treasury strategy, advancing our crypto infrastructure initiatives while maintaining disciplined execution across our core operations."
"At the same time, we made the active decision to restructure our supply chain, consolidate vendors, and shift toward primarily U.S.-based sourcing. While this transition temporarily reduced revenue levels, we believe this transition will strengthen long-term reliability, margin stability, and operational control. Subsequent to quarter-end, we divested GPM, which historically represented a significant operating cost center, materially lowering our forward expense base."
"Importantly, our Board authorized iPower's first-ever $2 million share repurchase program, reflecting confidence in our strengthened balance sheet and the long-term value of our business.
"The February restructuring was not simply a divestiture — it marked the beginning of a new chapter for iPower. We streamlined our sourcing, strengthened our financial position, reduced structural costs, and positioned our business to selectively invest in infrastructure-driven growth opportunities."
Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Financial Summary
Revenue for the fiscal second quarter of 2026 was $7.1 million. The decline from prior-year levels was primarily attributable to the Company's proactive supply chain restructuring. During the quarter, iPower intentionally reduced purchase volumes from certain legacy international vendors and paused selected SKUs while transitioning to a predominantly U.S.-based sourcing model. This deliberate shift temporarily reduced available inventory and sales volume but was undertaken to improve supply chain transparency, reduce geopolitical and logistics risk, and enhance long-term gross margin durability.
Gross profit was $3.1 million, and gross margin remained stable at 44.0%, demonstrating that the core economics of the Company's supply chain platform remained intact despite lower revenue during the transition period.
Total operating expenses declined to $5.6 million, down 28% year-over-year, driven by personnel reductions, tighter expense controls, and operational efficiencies implemented alongside our supply chain restructuring.
Net loss attributable to iPower was $1.2 million, or $(1.08) per share, reflecting lower revenue during the transition period and ongoing strategic investments, including the initial implementation of the Company's Digital Asset Treasury initiative.
During the quarter, iPower continued to reduce traditional borrowings, with short-term debt declining to $2.6 million as of December 31, 2025 from $3.7 million as of June 30, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company reported $2.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, $2.2 million of restricted cash, and approximately $2.2 million of digital assets; total debt was approximately $8.4 million, including $5.8 million of convertible notes.
Post-Quarter Strategic Update
In February 2026, subsequent to the quarter close, iPower completed the divestiture of GPM, eliminating a major operating cost center while retaining iPower's core supply chain, fulfillment, and infrastructure assets. The transaction generated approximately $2.3 million in consideration and reduces forward operating expense requirements.
Because the divestiture was completed after December 31, 2025, the reported Q2 results do not reflect the full impact of the restructuring. Management expects the streamlined operating model and predominantly U.S.-based supply chain to provide a stronger and more resilient operating foundation going forward.
The Company also authorized its first-ever $2 million share repurchase program, under which repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and applicable legal requirements.
