Jerash Holdings (US), Inc.: Jerash Holdings Reports Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Financial Results

FAIRFIELD, NEW JERSEY / ACCESS Newswire / November 12, 2025 / 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 2026 second quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Highlights

• Revenue increased 4.3 percent to $42.0 million, from $40.2 million in the prior year quarter.

• Gross margin was 15.0 percent, compared with 17.5 percent in the prior year quarter.

• Operating income was $1.09 million, compared with $1.13 million in the prior year quarter.

• Net income was $479,000, compared with $665,000 in the prior year quarter.

Outlook

• Revenue for the fiscal 2026 third quarter is expected to increase by 19 to 21 percent over the same quarter last year.

• Gross margin goal for the fiscal 2026 third quarter is approximately 13 to 15 percent.

"Amid ongoing trade uncertainties, we continue to experience growing demand from our customers, as Jordan is increasingly becoming a preferred destination for global brands seeking to diversify their manufacturing partnerships beyond Asia," said Sam Choi, Jerash's chairman and chief executive officer.

"In late June, we completed an expansion of our existing manufacturing facilities, adding approximately 15 percent to our much-needed production capacity. With increasing capacity requests from our global customers and strategic partners, we have initiated a long-term expansion plan to support anticipated growth. This includes exploring potential acquisitions and facility development on our own land to ensure that Jerash remains well-positioned to sustain our competitive edge and meet evolving market demands.

"Gross margin for the quarter was lower than that for the same period last year, which benefited from catch-up production of higher-margin outerwear originally scheduled for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Additionally, as we successfully continue to diversify our customer base and product mix, we expect a slightly lower average gross margin in the near term. As order volumes for our expanded product offerings continue to scale, our goal is to improve gross profit margins through increased production automation and the benefits of economies of scale.

"During this important period of progress for the Company, we remain attentive to potential impacts of geopolitical uncertainties in the region and evolving tariff developments as we continue advancing our growth strategy," Choi added.

Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Results

Revenue for the fiscal 2026 second quarter grew 4.3 percent to $42.0 million, from $40.2 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily driven an increase in shipments to the U.S., resulting from a more diverse customer base in fiscal 2026.

Gross profit was $6.3 million for the fiscal 2026 second quarter, compared with $7.1 million in the same quarter last year. Gross profit margin for the quarter declined to 15.0 percent, from 17.5 percent in the same period last year, which benefited from catch-up production of some outerwear that carried higher margins originally scheduled for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the diversification of customer base and product mix, which resulted in a lower average gross margin.

Operating expenses totaled $5.2 million in the fiscal 2026 second quarter, compared with $5.9 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily due to better control of export costs and lower stock-based compensation expenses.
