Conference Call and Webcast on September 26th at 1:30 PM Pacific Time
WALNUT, Calif., Sept. 26, 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 provided a business update, and reported financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results:
- Total revenue increased by $31.9 million, or 23.6%, to $167.0 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, compared to $135.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
- Our transportation services segment reported revenue of $115.3 million, an increase of 18.8% from $97.0 million in fiscal year 2023. The increase was driven by the rapid expansion of our business in 2023, as we expanded our warehouse operational capacities in California and New Jersey. This segment comprises reselling third-party carrier services to our customers.
- Our warehousing services segment generated $51.5 million, a 38.1% increase from $37.3 million in fiscal year 2023. This growth was driven by the growth in our transportation services. This segment comprises inventory management and storage offerings.
- Revenue from other services decreased by $0.5 million, or 77.4%. This segment is primarily comprised of customs brokerage services.
- Costs of sales were $148.9 million in fiscal year 2024, an increase of 36.2%, or $39.6 million, compared with $109.3 million in fiscal year 2023. The increase in costs was primarily driven by growth in transportation and warehousing services, leading to higher expenses across warehouse operations, particularly rental, labor, and operational expenses.
- Gross profit margin decreased from 19.1% in fiscal year 2023 to 10.8% in 2024. Although the profit margins of our transportation services (e.g., FedEx, ocean freight, and truck deliveries) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, remained stable or slightly higher compared to the previous fiscal year, the profit margins for our warehousing services experienced a significant decrease during the same period.
- Freight expenses rose by 17.8%, from $76.0 million in fiscal year 2023 to $89.5 million in fiscal year 2024. This increase correlates with the growth in transportation services, as higher activity levels and shipping volume boosted freight-related costs.
- Rental expenses were $30.4 million in fiscal year 2024, compared to $14.8 million in 2023, an increase of 105%. This increase is largely driven by the Company’s expansion into its Fontana, California warehouse, as well as increased warehouse operating lease costs.
- Salary and benefits saw a 68% increase in fiscal year 2024, from $4.5 million to $7.6 million. This increase was due to the expansion of operations, particularly in warehouse services, necessitating more employees and higher compensation.
- Temporary labor expenses increased by 51%, from $8.4 million in 2023 to $12.7 million in fiscal year 2024. The increase reflected the Company’s need for additional temporary labor to handle increased demand, especially in warehouse operations.
- Warehouse expenses grew by 82%, from $3.1 million in 2023 to $5.7 million in fiscal year 2024. The increase is associated with the expansion of the Company’s warehousing facilities, including the costs tied to operating its new Fontana warehouse.
- General and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million, from $7.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 to $10.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of 28%. The increase was due to increased administrative activities primarily related to office supplies, and repairs and maintenance, to accommodate our business expansion.
- Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 was $7.4 million, compared with the net income of $13.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease by $6.5 million.
Operational Highlights
- In May, we closed our initial public offering of 1,600,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $5.00 per share to the public for a total of $8,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Company before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses.
- In May, we signed a lease for a new 733,200-square-foot warehouse located near the Port of Savannah in Georgia. In August, the warehouse at the Port of Savannah, known as “SAV1,” became fully operational and has quickly become the busiest among the Company’s nine warehouses. Since June 2024, the facility has handled over 800 container shipments and maintains over 70% occupancy.
Management Commentary
Aidy Chou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Armlogi, commented, “As we reflect on fiscal year 2024, we are proud to report strong revenue growth of nearly 24%, a testament to our team’s dedication and the success of our strategic initiatives. Our expansion in both transportation and warehousing services has enabled us to meet increasing customer demands while laying a solid foundation for future growth. As we continue to enhance our operational capacities, such as the opening of our SAV1 warehouse and the expansion of our trucking department, we remain focused on delivering exceptional service and value to our customers. We are also committed to sustainability, as demonstrated by our participation in the Low Carbon Fuel Standard program, which aligns with our long-term goal of reducing our environmental footprint. Looking ahead, we are confident in our ability to navigate the evolving logistics landscape and continue driving value for our shareholders and partners.”
