Executive Summary
- Mixed print: revenue beat but EPS missed. Q4 revenue was $50.94M vs S&P Global consensus $50.14M (beat), while Q4 EPS was -$0.10 vs -$0.04 consensus (miss).

- FY25 deterioration in profitability driven by higher third‑party carrier costs (FedEx/UPS) and costs from footprint expansion (rent, labor, new leases), pushing FY gross margin to -1.6% from 10.8% YoY; net loss was $15.35M vs net income $7.44M in FY24 .
- Management emphasizes operational optimization, technology-driven efficiency, and cost management; expects gradual margin improvement as utilization increases; no formal numeric guidance given .
- Potential narrative catalysts: revenue resilience amid customer growth and footprint scale vs ongoing freight cost headwinds; management commentary on tariff relief (Q3) and diversification of carrier relationships could support future margin repair if executed .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- “Fiscal year 2025 demonstrated continued strong demand… 14% revenue growth… However… expansion of our operations… and freight cost increases from our carriers have significantly impacted profitability” — Aidy Chou, CEO .
- “We are actively implementing measures to improve efficiency and profitability… focus is on optimization of operations, leveraging our technology… We remain committed to our growth strategy” — Scott Hsu, CFO .
- “One customer accounts for around 10% of revenue… down from FY24 when two customers represented 20% and 12%… We leverage ISO 9001 services with 99.64% inventory accuracy… nationwide coverage and bulky‑item focus” — Scott Hsu, CFO .
Q&A Highlights
- FY26 growth drivers: Continued demand from cross‑border e‑commerce and U.S. customers; full utilization of ~3.9M sq. ft. network; tech platform enhancements (Order Management System); no single contract expected to be material .
- Profitability/FCF timeline: No specific timeline; expect gradual margin improvement with utilization and technology; monitoring trade policy and inflation; prioritizing sustainable margin repair .
- Customer concentration and differentiation: Top customer ~10% of revenue (reduced concentration); differentiation via ISO 9001 quality, 99.64% inventory accuracy, 24/7 multilingual support, long‑term carrier agreements, and bulky‑item/nationwide niche .
Estimates Context
- Coverage is thin (1 estimate each for Q4 and FY), but based on S&P Global: Q4 revenue beat ($50.94M vs $50.14M*) and EPS miss (-$0.10 vs -$0.04*); FY revenue beat ($190.41M vs $189.61M*) and EPS miss (-$0.34 vs -$0.28*) (S&P Global values marked with *).
- Given margin pressure and management’s focus on optimization rather than growth-at-any-cost, EPS estimates could drift lower near term until clear evidence of carrier cost relief and utilization gains emerges; revenue estimates may prove more resilient given customer and footprint expansion .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Top‑line resilience continues, but profitability remains pressured by carrier costs and expansion expenses; the near‑term narrative hinges on demonstrating margin repair while sustaining growth .
- Q4/FY revenue beats vs S&P consensus contrast with EPS misses; with minimal estimate coverage, individual datapoints can drive outsized stock reactions (revenue strength vs EPS pressure) (S&P Global values marked with *).
- Watch execution on carrier diversification and contract repricing to blunt FedEx/UPS pressure; any quantifiable reduction in unit shipping costs would be a powerful inflection driver .
- Utilization and technology initiatives (AI/WMS, OMS) are key to unlocking operating leverage; management points to phased improvements as warehouses fill and systems mature .
- Customer mix remains PRC‑heavy (~84% of FY25 revenue); successful diversification to U.S./non‑PRC customers can lower geopolitical and macro sensitivity .
- Macro/tariff backdrop could swing margins; management flagged tariff reductions as a potential tailwind, but no numerical impact embedded yet .
- Liquidity acceptable ($13.58M cash and restricted at FY-end) with focus on cost control; monitor cash trends and financing usage as optimization progresses .
