Management Commentary
"Fiscal 2026 is off to a solid start as we are beginning to see the benefits of the strategic optimization initiatives we implemented last year," said Lawrence Tan, CEO of iPower. "Our disciplined approach to cost management, including targeted reductions in operating expenses, contributed to a meaningful improvement in our bottom line for the quarter. These efficiencies, combined with our material reduction in debt obligations, underscore the progress we are making in strengthening the fundamentals of our business."
"We are also seeing tangible benefits from our transition toward a more diversified and domestically anchored supply chain. The shift away from a China import-centric model has enhanced our logistical control, reduced exposure to tariff-related volatility, and improved our ability to respond quickly to customer demand. Additionally, our U.S. joint-venture manufacturing line continues to scale, supporting margin stability and providing a platform for long-term operational resilience."
"Looking ahead, we remain focused on building a more efficient, agile, and profitable organization. As part of our Digital Asset Strategy, which remains subject to implementation, we aim to leverage our retail and e-commerce infrastructure to connect consumers with digital-asset products from licensed providers, broadening access and creating value for customers, partners, and shareholders. With a streamlined cost structure, strong operational momentum, and an expanding network of SuperSuite partners, we believe we are well positioned to drive sustainable growth and create long-term value for our shareholders."
Fiscal First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Total revenue in the fiscal first quarter of 2026 was $12.0 million compared to $19.0 million for the same period in fiscal 2025. The decrease was driven primarily by lower product sales to the Company's largest channel partner, partially offset by growth in iPower's SuperSuite supply chain offerings.
Gross profit in the fiscal first quarter of 2026 was $4.8 million compared to $8.5 million in the same quarter in fiscal 2025. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin was 40.0% compared to 44.7% in the year-ago period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by an increase in services income in the quarter.
Total operating expenses in the fiscal first quarter of 2026 reduced by 42% to $6.5 million compared to $11.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2025. The decrease in operating expenses was driven primarily by personnel reductions and improved efficiencies resulting from the Company's ongoing efforts to optimize its cost structure and streamline operations.
Net loss attributable to iPower in the fiscal first quarter of 2026 improved to $0.5 million or $(0.51) per share, compared to net loss attributable to iPower of $2.1 million or $(1.94) per share for the same period in fiscal 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents were $0.9 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $2.0 million at June 30, 2025. As a result of the Company's debt paydown, total debt was reduced by 48% to $1.9 million compared to $3.7 million as of June 30, 2025.
