HONG KONG, Jan. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raytech Holding Limited (NASDAQ: RAY) ("Raytech", "We", "Our" or the "Company"), a Hong Kong-based company specializing in design, sourcing, and wholesale of personal care electrical appliances for international brand owners, today announced financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026 (six months ended September 30, 2025).
Raytech delivered solid first half fiscal year 2026 results, maintaining strong profitability with net income of HK$4.7 million (US$610,454) and an improved net margin of 12.6%, compared to 10.8% in the prior year period. The Company continues to demonstrate exceptional balance sheet strength, recording cash and cash equivalents of HK$121.5 million (US$15.6 million), representing a significant increase of 43.2% from HK$84.9 million as of March 31, 2025. Revenue for the period was HK$37.6 million (US$4.8 million), reflecting a 13.1% decrease from HK$43.2 million in the prior year period, primarily attributable to the imposition of tariffs in early 2025 which created instability in the global trading environment.
Management Commentary
Mr. Ching Tim Hoi, CEO and Chairman of Raytech, said: "The first half of fiscal year 2026 demonstrates our resilience and operational excellence despite challenging global trade conditions. While revenue was impacted by tariff-related market instability, we successfully improved our profitability metrics, with our net margin increasing to 12.6% from 10.8% in the prior year period. Our gross profit margin improved significantly by 5.1 percentage points to 26.3%, driven by our strategic focus on higher-margin hair styling series products within our hair styling series. We continue to maintain a robust financial position with cash and cash equivalents of HK$121.5 million, providing substantial flexibility to pursue strategic growth opportunities. We remain committed to expanding our presence in the U.S., UK, Europe, Australia and regional Asian markets."
