Ispire Technology Inc. Reports Strong Financial Performance for 2024
Ispire Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: ISPR) reported a record 31.4% revenue increase in their 2024 fiscal year performance.

According to PR Newswire on September 26th, Ispire (Ispire Technology Inc., NASDAQ trading code: ISPR) released its financial performance for the 2024 fiscal year ending on June 30th, 2024, and is submitting its annual report "Form 10-K" to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 26th.

 

Financial Performance in the 2024 Fiscal Year Shows:

 

  • Income increased by 31.4% year on year to $151.9 million, mainly driven by an increase in sales of American products, which rose from $41.6 million on June 30, 2023 to $63.1 million on June 30, 2024, an increase of $21.5 million; sales of European e-cigarette products increased by $6.5 million, from $58.8 million on June 30, 2023 to $65.3 million on June 30, 2024; sales of e-cigarette products in other markets increased by $5.7 million, from $3.0 million on June 30, 2023 to $6.0 million on June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in sales in South Africa to $5.4 million.
  • Gross profit increased by 43.3% from $20.8 million in the 2023 fiscal year to $29.8 million, with a gross margin increasing from 18.0% in 2023 to 19.6%. The increase was mainly due to changes in product mix, focusing on higher-margin products, improved economies of scale due to increased sales volume, and benefits from the company's manufacturing facility in Malaysia.
  • Total operating expenses increased by 73.0% from $25.3 million in the 2023 fiscal year to $43.7 million. This increase was mainly attributed to expenses related to supporting wages and contract labor, sales and marketing, professional fees, and increased stock-based compensation to expand the scope of operations.
  • The net loss was $14.8 million, compared to a net loss of $6.0 million in the 2023 fiscal year.
  • As of June 30, 2024, Ispire had $35.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $16.6 million in operating funds.

 

The company's CEO, Michael Wang, stated that...

 

In 2024, it was a foundational year for Ispire characterized by record-breaking revenue and significant profit margin expansion. It also laid the groundwork strategically for faster growth of our global nicotine business, with plans to focus our high-quality marijuana e-cigarette hardware on multi-state operator (MSO) clients.

 

We have established long-term strategic partnerships with industry leaders such as Acreage Holdings, Hidden Hills Club, Dank Pack, and the BRKFST brand collaborated with international singer Burna Boy, expanding market share and strengthening global operational infrastructure.

 

In addition, Ispire has established a 31,000 square feet modern production facility in Malaysia to tap into the international nicotine market, while also reducing costs and increasing profitability.

 

This spring, we successfully completed a $12.3 million initial public offering, strengthened our financial position, and laid the foundation for future international expansion.

 

We have also appointed a senior leadership team, with Jim McCormick as Chief Financial Officer, John Patterson as Senior Vice President of International Nicotine, and Dennis Lider as Senior Vice President of Marijuana E-cigarette Hardware Sales.

 

Ispire recently submitted its first PMTA application in four years for a disposable e-cigarette (ENDS) product with four flavors, marking our attempt to re-enter the U.S. e-cigarette market. The company is focused on driving innovation for growth, improving profit margins, and taking measures to restrict underage use of e-cigarette products, all while adhering to responsible marketing principles.
