-The company sustained positive net income for the six months ended December 31, 2022 –
HONG KONG, July 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ICZOOM Group Inc. (Nasdaq: IZM) (the “Company” or “ICZOOM”), a B2B electronic component products e-commerce platform, with its financial year ends on June 30 annually, has released its interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2022. A full version of the report is available at the Company’s website at http://ir.iczoomex.com/index.html or the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Mr. Lei Xia, the CEO and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of ICZOOM, commented, “Despite a challenging environment, we’ve managed to sustain a stable position for the first half of the fiscal year 2023. Our total revenue reached $120.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, decreased by 14.6% from $140.5 million for the same period of last fiscal year, primarily due to the business operation disruption from time to time in PRC due to restrictive measures adopted by local governments to contain the outbreak of Omicron from June to December 2022. Though revenues dipped, we proudly maintained a positive net income. Our strategic initiatives aiming at enhancing efficiency will continue to ensure our business’s longevity. We’re dedicated to innovation and delivering superior products and services, enabling us to navigate market flux effectively. Ongoing investments in research and development, expansion of our product portfolio, and strengthening key partnerships remain our priority. Looking ahead, we’re optimistic and committed to creating values to our shareholders.”
First Half of the Fiscal Year 2023 Financial and Operational Highlights
Total revenues were $120.2 million, compared to $140.5 million for the same period of last fiscal year. Net income was $0.9 million, compared to $1.1 million for the same period of last fiscal year. Total customers were 653, compared to 770 for the same period of last fiscal year.
First Half of the Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenue was $120.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, decreased by 14.5% from $140.5 million for the same period of last fiscal year. The decrease was largely attributable to the business operation disruption from time to time in China due to restrictive measures adopted by local governments to control the outbreak of Omicron from June 2022 to December 2022. In addition, the total revenue was affected by the reduced demand from the customers as some of the customers stocked up heavily in last fiscal year and still carried over comparatively high inventories. The number of customers for electronic component products and services decreased by 117 or 15.2%, from 770 for the six months ended December 31, 2021 to 653 for the six months ended December 31 2022.
Revenue from sales of electronic components was $118.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, decreased by 14.6% from $138.5 million for the same period of last fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased sales of integrated circuits(“IC”) as the ICs were stocked up heavily by some customers last fiscal year and the demand for them decreased during this period.
Service commission fee revenues were $1.86 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, decreased by 6.8% from $2.0 million for the same period of last fiscal year. We provide customs clearance when customers purchase electronic component products directly from overseas suppliers, as well as temporary warehousing, and logistic and shipping services after the customs clearance. The decrease was primarily due to the number of customers for our services decreased by 2.2% from 135 customers for the six months ended December 31, 2021 to 132 for the six months ended December 31, 2022, which led to total merchandise value involved in the transactions decreased.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was $117.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, decreased by 14.1% from $136.3 million for the same period of last year.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit was $3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, decreased by 26.7% from $4.2 million for the same period of last fiscal year. Gross margin was 2.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2022, compared to 3.1% for the same period of last fiscal year.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $2.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, decreased by 5.3% from $2.4 million for the same period of last fiscal year.
Selling expenses were $0.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, almost the same as selling expenses for the same period of last fiscal year. General and administrative expenses were $1.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, decreased by 7.0% from $1.5 million for the same period of last fiscal year. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in our salary and employee benefit expense and stock-based compensation expenses as a result of the reduced headcount.
Other Income (Expenses)
Net other income was $0.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, compared to net other expenses of $0.3 million for the same period of last fiscal year.
