First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
Revenue
Total revenue was $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 4.5% decrease from $8.7 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in revenue was due to decreased revenue from the stores in the United States (the "United States Stores"), which was partially offset by slightly increased revenue from the stores in China (the "China Stores").
China Stores
Revenue from the China Stores remained relatively stable with a slight increase by $0.03 million, or 0.4%, from $7.78 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $7.81 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The slight increase was mainly due to the increased revenue from bakery products, which was partially offset by the decreased revenue from other products.
- Revenue from bakery products was $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 2.5% increase from $7.2 million for the same period of last year. China's economic recovery has progressed at a slower pace than expected amid ongoing downward economic pressure, which has softened consumer confidence and led to more cautious spending. Meanwhile, with the growing prevalence of online consumption, consumers have a wider range of choices and can conveniently purchase bakery products from online brands, which has intensified market competition. As a result, the Company's revenue from bakery products slightly increased due to the challenging economic environment, cautious consumer spending, and shifts in consumer spending patterns, such as the transition from in-store consumption to online consumption during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
- Revenue from other products was $0.48 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 23.9% decrease from $0.63 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly due to decreased revenue from seasonal products and beverage products. Revenue from seasonal products was $0.38 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which decreased by 24.7% from $0.51 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the challenging economic environment and consumption downgrade as mentioned above. The Company's customers were more sensitive to the selling price and preferred lower-priced seasonal products with the same quality during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Revenue from beverage products was $0.10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease by 20.5% from $0.12 million for the same period of last year. The opening of new stores by several well-known coffee chain brands in Xinjiang, offering products at low prices to gain market share, provided customers with more choices and contributed to a decline in beverage product revenue at the Company's China Stores. As of June 30, 2026, a total of five coffee bakery stores were closed: one in fiscal year 2024, one in the first half of fiscal year 2025, and three in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
United States Stores
Revenue from the U.S. Stores was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 46.7% decrease from $0.9 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly due to decreased revenue from bakery products, eat-in services and beverage products.
- Revenue from bakery products was $0.04 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an 82.7% decrease from $0.22 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased revenue from Chanson 23rd Street LLC ("Chanson 23rd Street") and Chanson 2040 Broadway LLC ("Chanson Broadway"). Facing increased competition from competitors operating in the same area, Chanson 23rd Street suspended its bakery products operations in April 2025. For Chanson Broadway, against the same backdrop of intensified local competition, the Company entered into a management and profit-sharing agreement with a third party in February 2026. Under the agreement, Chanson Broadway was rebranded and its operations were entrusted to the third party for a term from February 1, 2026 to January 31, 2032. The Company continued to provide relevant cooperation and business support and is entitled to receive a revenue-based fee from the third party. As a result, Chanson Broadway suspended its self-operated business, which contributed to the decline in bakery products revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
- Revenue from beverage products was $0.41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 35.8% decrease from $0.64 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased revenue from Chanson 23rd Street, driven by intensified competition from operators in the same area, as well as the decreased revenue from Chanson Broadway resulting from the suspension of self-operated business as mentioned above.
- Revenue from eat-in services was $0.03 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 30.3% decrease from $0.05 million for the same period of last year. As mentioned above, Chanson Broadway suspended its self-operated business in February 2026, hence, revenue from eat-in services decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which slightly increased by 2.4% from $3.9 million for the same period of last year. Gross margin was 47.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which increased by 3.2 percentage points from 44.5% for the same period of last year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $5.1 million for the same period of last year.
- Selling expenses were $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 15.6% increase from $2.8 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of $0.30 million in salaries and welfare benefit expenses, driven by expanded sales headcount. The Company deployed additional sales personnel to support new stores in the PRC opened in the second half of the fiscal year 2025, in light of its strong business outlook for these operations; and (ii) an increase of $0.22 million in online platform service fees, resulting from the increased online sales on the third-party platform during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
- General and administrative expenses were $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 33.7% decrease from $2.2 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the non-recurrence of $0.5 million bad debt write-off expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025. On April 3, 2023, the Company entered a loan agreement with Liberty Asset Management Capital Limited (the "Borrower") to lend the Borrower $2.0 million for two years, with a maturity date of April 3, 2025. Due to the Borrower's financial distress, the Company collected $1.5 million upon maturity of the loan, and the remaining balance of $0.5 million was fully written off and recognized as bad debt expense during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was also attributable to a decrease of $0.2 million in consultant and professional fees, driven by reduced expenditures on audit, legal and other professional services during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense was $0.11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 45.6% increase from net interest expense of $0.08 million for the same period of last year. The increase in net interest expense was primarily attributable to the increased interest expense, which was in line with the increased weighted average loan balance during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Investment Income from Long-term Debt Investments
Investment income from long-term debt investments was $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 402.6% increase from $0.4 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the two long-term debt investments entered into on June 30, 2025 and November 6, 2025, respectively. Together, these two investments generated $1.4 million of interest income for the full six months in the current period, while no interest income was recognized from them during the same period of last year. The remaining $0.4 million of interest income was recognized in each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and was solely attributable to the long-term debt investment with Worthy Credit Limited ("Worthy Credit") entered into on March 31, 2023.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net loss of $1.0 million for the same period of last year.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.64 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $286.93 for the same period of last year.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $20.0 million, compared to $8.6 million as of December 31, 2025.
Cash Flow
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.4 million for the same period of last year.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.5 million for the same period of last year.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $8.6 million for the same period of last year.
