Exhibit 99.1

Ridgetech, Inc. Reports Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

HANGZHOU, China, July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ridgetech, Inc. (Nasdaq: RDGT) (“Ridgetech” or the “Company”), a wholesale distributor of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products in China, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Mr. Frank Zhao, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Ridgetech, commented, “We are pleased to present a relatively stable revenue outcome for fiscal year 2025, a year marked by significant transformation for the Company. During this period, we divested our retail pharmacy business and acquired Ridgeline and its subsidiary, Allright (Hangzhou) Internet Technology Co. Ltd (“Allright”), marking our strategic expansion into both online and offline wholesale distribution of pharmaceutical and healthcare products in China.

This move reflects our commitment to shift our resources focus onto the wholesale pharmaceutical sector, aligning with the evolving landscape and intensifying competition in China’s healthcare industry. We believe Allright’s broad and growing online and offline distribution network will rapidly become an indispensable contributor to our revenue and open up new business opportunities through its multiple platforms.

Despite the scale of change in fiscal year 2025, we maintained stable total revenue of approximately US$120 million, while securing healthy profit margins across both our offline wholesale operations and online platforms. Notably, revenue from Allright’s own and third-party online platforms -- only reflecting activity from March 2025 following our acquisition on February 28, 2025 -- already contributed nearly 1% of our total revenue, with a gross margin of 7.4%.

To support this strategic shift, we increased our investment in sales and marketing by 64.2%, primarily to build a stronger foundation for post-transformation growth.

Looking ahead, with the completion of our strategic transformation and continued progress in integrating our business segments and internal resources, we believe Ridgetech is now better positioned to drive long-term sustainable growth and deliver improved financial performance.”
