Jerash Holdings Reports Financial Results

for Fiscal 2025 Second Quarter

 

– Revenue Increases 21 Percent; Gross Profit Rises 31 Percent –

– Company Returns to Profitability as Global Customers Regain Confidence –

 

FAIRFIELD, N.J., November 12, 2024 – Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (NASDAQ: JRSH) (the “Company” or “Jerash”), which manufactures and exports custom, ready-made, sportswear and outerwear for leading global brands, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 second quarter, ended September 30, 2024.

 

“Results for our second fiscal quarter demonstrated confidence by our global customers working with Jerash and the competitive advantages of doing business in Jordan,” said Sam Choi, Jerash’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Purchase orders for export shipments to our customers in the U.S. and Europe have been steadily increasing, and we are pleased to report that our factories are now fully booked through the first half of calendar year 2025.

 

“Also, on a positive note from a geopolitical perspective, our export trade routes in the region returned to a more normalized environment in August, which, in turn, is positively affecting profitability. Gross margin for the fiscal second quarter increased to 17.5 percent from 16.1 percent a year ago, and from 11.3 percent in the preceding fiscal first quarter.

 

“We are continuing to attract new global brands, further diversify our customer base, and expand product mix. We have good visibility well into fiscal 2026, and with momentum continuing, we are beginning to plan for a potential expansion of manufacturing capacity to support future growth,” Choi added.

 

Outlook

 

Revenue for the fiscal 2025 third quarter is expected to increase by 35-38 percent from the same quarter last year; full-year revenue is expected to increase by 30-35 percent.

 

Gross margin goal for fiscal year 2025 is expected to be approximately 14-15 percent, subject to logistics and shipping charges and product mix.

 

Fiscal 2025 Second Quarter Results

 

Fiscal 2025 second quarter revenue increased 20.6 percent to $40.2 million, from $33.4 million in the same period last year, reflecting an increase in shipments to Jerash’s major U.S. customers.

 

 


 

Gross profit for the fiscal 2025 second quarter increased 31.4 percent to $7.1 million from $5.4 million in the same quarter last year. Gross margin increased 140 basis points to 17.5 percent, from 16.1 percent in the same period last year. The expansion in gross margin was primarily due to higher production volume, with increased orders shipped to the U.S. customers that typically carry higher margins.

 

Operating expenses totaled $5.9 million in the fiscal 2025 second quarter, compared with $4.5 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher logistics costs to catch up with garment shipment schedules, and increased stock-based compensation expenses.

 

Operating income increased to $1.1 million in the fiscal 2025 second quarter, from $888,000 in the same period last year.

 

Total other expenses were $364,000 in the fiscal 2025 second quarter, versus $167,000 in the same quarter last year. The increase primarily reflected higher interest expenses.

 

Net income in the fiscal 2025 second quarter increased 80.1 percent to $665,000 from $369,000 for the prior-year quarter. Net income per diluted share for the fiscal 2025 second quarter increased to $0.05, from $0.03 in the same quarter last year.

 

Comprehensive income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders totaled $663,000 in the fiscal 2025 second quarter, compared with $306,000 in the same period last year.

 

Six-Month Fiscal Year 2025 Results

 

Revenue for the first six months of fiscal year 2025 rose to $81.2 million, from $68.1 million in the same period last year.

 

Gross profit was $11.7 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared with $10.9 million for the same period last year. Gross margin for the first six months of fiscal year 2025 was 14.4 percent, compared with 16.1 percent in the same period last year.

 

Operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal year 2025 were $11.4 million, compared with $9.0 million for the same period last year. Operating income was $306,000 for the first six months of fiscal year 2025, compared with $2.0 million for the same period last year.

 

Net loss for the first six months of fiscal year 2025 was $702,000, or $0.06 per share, compared with net income of $864,000, or $0.07 per share, in the same period last year.

 

Comprehensive loss attributable to Jerash’s common stockholders was $673,000 in the first six months of fiscal year 2025, compared with comprehensive income of $708,000 for the same period last year.
