SHENZHEN, China, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Baiya International Group Inc. ("BIYA" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: BIYA), a human resource ("HR") technology company utilizing its cloud-based internet platform to provide one-stop crowdsourcing recruitment and SaaS-enabled HR solutions, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Ms. Siyu Yang, Chief Executive Officer of BIYA, commented, "We are pleased to report a resilient performance for fiscal year 2024, reflecting our determined efforts to navigate China's evolving recruitment market. We achieved a remarkable revenue growth of 10.7% despite slow economic recovery and labor market adjustments, driven by our flexible business strategy with a focus on project outsourcing services. As we see expansion opportunities in the rapidly growing logistics and express delivery sectors, we have been examining postal business tender documents, leading to our successful cooperation with new major customers such as Zhaoqing Branch of China Postal Group Limited. As a result of active business expansion among postal companies, revenue from project outsourcing increased by 26.6%, accounting for 99.7% of our total revenue."
Ms. Yang continued, "Our gross profit grew by 75.4%, underscoring the effectiveness and resilience of our strategic initiatives. At the same time, we took active steps to reduce operating expenses while increasing investment in sales efforts. These measures significantly improved our financial performance, turning a net loss into a positive net income for fiscal year 2024. With such proactive strategies, we believe that we are now better positioned to explore high-margin subsectors that can support a sustainable growth trajectory. Looking ahead, we remain committed to our core strategy while remaining alert to new opportunities as China's economy gradually recovers. We plan to continue to improve the Gongwuyuan Platform to deliver high-quality job matching and HR related services in the flexible employment marketplace. We are confident that our resilient approach, combined with strong client relationship management, will continue to support our long-term growth and deliver value to our shareholders."

- Revenue from entrusted recruitment service was $0.04 million in fiscal year 2024, a decrease of 97.2% from $1.5 million in fiscal year 2023.

- Revenue from project outsourcing service was $12.8 million in fiscal year 2024, an increase of 26.6% from $10.1 million in fiscal year 2023.

- General and administrative expenses were $0.9 million in fiscal year 2024, a decrease of 18.6% from $1.1 million in fiscal year 2023.
