Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

Revenue

Total revenue was $14.7 million for fiscal year 2024, which decreased by 38.7% from $24.1 million for fiscal year 2023.

The following table sets forth revenue by interconnect products:

	For the years ended March 31,										Change
($ millions)	2024		%			2023		%			Amount		%
Cables and wire harnesses		13.6		92.4	%		22.2		92.3	%		(8.6)		(38.7)	%
Connectors		1.1		7.6	%		1.8		7.7	%		(0.7)		(39.3)	%
Total		14.7		100.0	%		24.0		100.0	%		(9.3)		(38.7)	%

Revenue generated from cables and wire harnesses decreased by 38.7%, to $13.6 million for fiscal year 2024, from $22.2 million for fiscal year 2023. Revenue generated from connectors decreased by 39.3%, to $1.1 million for fiscal year 2024, from $1.8 million for fiscal year 2023.

The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the total sales volume due to customers’ shift towards zero inventory instead of advanced procurement, and the decrease of the average selling price of our products for fiscal year 2024.

The following table sets forth the disaggregation of revenue by regions:

	For the years ended March 31,										Change
($ millions)	2024		%			2023		%			Amount		%
Europe		8.5		57.8	%		15.0		62.5	%		(6.5)		(43.3)	%
Asia		4.8		32.8	%		7.4		30.9	%		(2.6)		(34.9)	%
Americas		1.4		9.4	%		1.6		6.6	%		(0.2)		(12.4)	%
Total		14.7		100.0	%		24.0		100.0	%		(9.3)		(38.7)	%

Revenue generated from Europe decreased by 43.3%, to $8.5 million for fiscal year 2024, from $15.0 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of sales in Denmark, Hungary and Bulgaria, which was partially offset by the increase of sales in Italy.

Revenue generated from Asia decreased by 34.9%, to $4.8 million for fiscal year 2024, from $7.4 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to sales decreases in China of $1.6 million, and sales decreases in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, of $1.0 million.

Revenue generated from the Americas decreased by 12.4%, to $1.4 million for fiscal year 2024, from $1.6 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the sales decrease in North America of $0.2 million.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by 33.1%, to $10.8 million for fiscal year 2024, from $16.2 million for fiscal year 2023, which was in line with the decrease of total revenue.

Inventory costs amounted to $7.3 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to $12.1 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease of inventory costs was primarily due to a 44.1% decrease in the total sales volume, which was partially offset by an 8.5% increase in the inventory cost per unit.

Labor costs amounted to $2.5 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to $2.9 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease of labor costs was primarily because we reduced the number of manufacturing employees.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit decreased by 50.1%, to $3.9 million for fiscal year 2024, from $7.9 million for fiscal year 2023.

Gross profit margin decreased by 6.1%, to 26.6% for fiscal year 2024, from 32.7% for fiscal year 2023.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased by 5.1%, to $5.8 million for fiscal year 2024, from $6.1 million for fiscal year 2023. The expense reduction was mainly due to the decline in selling expenses and research and development expenses. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in the general and administrative expenses.

Other Income

Other income decreased to $0.5 million for fiscal year 2024, from $0.7 million for fiscal year 2023.

Net (Loss)/Income

Net income decreased by 158.7%, to net loss of $1.3 million for fiscal year 2024, from net income of $2.2 million for fiscal year 2023.

Basic and Diluted (Loss)/Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.13 for fiscal year 2024, compared to earnings per share of $0.22 for fiscal year 2023.
