LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ispire Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:ISPR) ("Ispire," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), an innovator in vaping technology and precision dosing, today reported results for the fiscal year 2025, which ended on June 30, 2025.

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

• Revenue decreased to $127.5 million, compared to $151.9 million in the 2024 fiscal year.
• Gross profit declined to $22.6 million, as compared to $29.8 million in the 2024 fiscal year.
• Gross margin decreased to 17.8%, as compared to 19.6% in the 2024 fiscal year.
• Total operating expenses increased to $60.5 million, compared to $43.7 million in the 2024 fiscal year.
• Accounts receivable, net decreased by 21% from $59.7 million in fiscal 2024 to $47.0 million in fiscal 2025.
• Net loss of $39.2 million, compared to net loss of $14.8 million in the 2024 fiscal year.

Michael Wang, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Ispire, commented, "Fiscal year 2025 marked a pivotal period in Ispire's strategic transformation, as we continued to shift away from the cannabis industry toward the higher-value nicotine sector. We made the intentional strategic decision to focus on quality customers versus quantity, prioritizing long-term partnerships as we repositioned our business for sustainable growth. Our investments in breakthrough technologies including IKE Tech LLC and our G-Mesh technology, are gaining significant traction with major tobacco companies as these innovations move through the regulatory approval process."

"We continued advancing our PMTA activities while awaiting updates on the groundbreaking component PMTA submission filed by our strategic joint venture, IKE Tech LLC, which represents blockchain-based age verification technology that could fundamentally transform the regulatory landscape for nicotine delivery systems. We are also progressing preparations for comprehensive PMTA submissions for flavored ENDS products. These products will feature integrated IKE Tech age-verification technology, with our initial filing strategy focusing on four distinct flavored offerings, addressing a critical gap in today's marketplace. Lastly, our international nicotine ODM business represents a key growth opportunity that is now gaining significant momentum after a slower than expected start. Coming into fiscal Q1 2026, we were at $18M in backlog orders. These strategic initiatives have positioned Ispire to capitalize on the growing global demand for precision vaping technology, while maintaining our commitment to responsible product development," Mr. Wang concluded.

Jay Yu, Chief Financial Officer of Ispire, added, "Ispire has focused on streamlining our operations and cut expenses across the business, with optimization measures reducing annual payroll by a total estimated annual savings of $10.2 million. General and administrative expenses declined year over year, from $31.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2024, to $30.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2025, while net loss was widened by $24.5 million year-over-year. We remain focused on strengthening collections and enhancing customer quality. Management believes these disciplined actions position Ispire for sustainable, long-term growth."

Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, Ispire reported revenue of $127.5 million compared to $151.9 million during fiscal 2024. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to realignment of our business towards nicotine, while moving away from cannabis customers, which the Company believes will deliver improved accounts receivable and more sustainable long-term growth.

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, was $22.6 million compared to $29.8 million for the same period in fiscal year 2024. Over fiscal 2025, gross margin decreased to 17.8%, from 19.6%. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to the strategic repositioning away from cannabis which led to the revenue reduction for this period.

Total operating expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 were $60.5 million as compared to $43.7 million in the same period in fiscal year 2024. This increase was largely due to a rise in sales and marketing expenses with a ramp up of marketing activities, as well as an increase in expected credit loss on accounts receivables, offset by a decrease in stock based compensation expenses due to cutting headcount in streamlining North American operations and a reduction in R&D expenses.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, net loss was $39.2 million or $0.69 per share, compared to a net loss of $14.8 million, or $0.27 per share for fiscal year 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, Ispire had $24.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $0.4 million.
