WALNUT, Calif., Nov. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Armlogi Holding Corp. (“Armlogi” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BTOC), a U.S.-based warehousing and logistics service provider that offers a comprehensive package of supply-chain solutions related to warehouse management and order fulfillment, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Financial Highlights:
Total revenue increased by $1.2 million, or 3.0%, to $42.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $41.2 million for the same period in 2023.
Our transportation services segment reported revenue of $28.5 million, a decrease of 4.2% from $29.7 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease was driven by decreases in customer order volume.
Our warehousing services segment generated $14.0 million, a 23.8% increase from $11.3 million for the same period in 2023. This growth was driven by the additional warehouses acquired in the last fiscal quarter. This segment comprises inventory management and storage offerings.
Revenue from other services decreased by $0.2 million, or 92%. This segment is primarily comprised of customs brokerage services.
Costs of sales were $46.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $10.1 million or 28.0%, compared with $36.0 million for the same period in 2023. Our costs of sales mainly represented the costs incurred for the use of third-party direct freight service carriers, such as FedEx and UPS, warehouse rental expenses, costs of labor, and trucking expenses. . The increase was driven by two main factors. First, there was a rise in freight expenses due to higher UPS shipping charges. Second, lease expenses, employee salary and benefits, and temporary labor costs increased as we expanded our warehouse and operations team to support growth.
Gross profit (loss) margin decreased from 12.7% for the for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to (8.5)% for the same period in 2024, primarily due to the increase of surcharge by UPSand the decreases in customer order volume.
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.8 million to $3.7 million, a 92% increase from the $1.9 million reported for the same period in 2023. This rise in expenses was attributed to several key factors. Office expenses increased by $0.6 million or 106%, primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in insurance costs, which was associated with the rapid expansion of our warehouse operations and growth in our transportation services. Additionally, repairs and maintenance expenses increased by $0.2 million or 109%, linked directly to the expansion of our transportation services. Moreover, professional fees increased by $0.3 million or 485%, largely driven by an increase in audit fees.
Net income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $(4.6) million, compared with the net income of $2.8 million for the same period in 2023, representing a decrease of $7.4 million.
Operational Highlights
In June, we became an authorized warehouse provider for sellers on the Temu marketplace. Armlogi will offer Temu sellers streamlined access to its warehousing facilities and tailored logistics services to provide fast order fulfillment and improved inventory management through this collaboration. This collaboration with a major e-commerce platform is expected to expand our capabilities to serve more e-commerce sellers.
In June, we announced a strategic partnership with Massimo Group (Nasdaq: MAMO) to provide streamlined warehousing and logistics services for the assembly and distribution of vehicles, aiming to meet the rising market demand across key U.S. regions. This collaboration has resulted in the integration of Massimo's quality control standards into Armlogi's distribution processes, improving service reliability. Armlogi now manages its deliveries independently across regions. Then in July, Armlogi announced the leasing of a new 60,000 sq. ft. warehouse in City of Industry, CA, to support its expanding trucking operations and its partnership with Massimo Group. The facility will provide additional storage and streamline distribution processes.
In July, Armlogi announced the expansion of its trucking department, doubling its capacity and extending services to key clients, including Amazon. The Company has enhanced its logistics services and increased its customer base, particularly in the e-sports logistics industry. Investments in staffing, training, and equipment aim to meet rising demand and improve service quality.
In August, Armlogi announced its participation in the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program, incorporating electric forklifts across its California warehouse operations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative aligns with the company's sustainability goals and qualifies Armlogi for monthly energy rebates.
In August, Armlogi’s warehouse at the Port of Savannah became fully operational and has quickly become the busiest among the Company's warehouses. Since June 2024, the facility has handled over 800 container shipments and maintains over 70% occupancy.
