HomesToLife (HTLM) reported financial results for H1 2024, showing a 21% decrease in net revenue to $1.99M compared to $2.53M in H1 2023. The company experienced a decline in gross profit margin to 66.1% from 68.8%, mainly due to increased freight costs. Operating expenses rose by 8.2% to $138,473, primarily due to IPO-related audit fees. The company reported a net loss of $452,438 ($0.03 per share) compared to net income of $74,986 ($0.01 per share) in H1 2023. Cash position decreased to $544,294 from $1.37M at end-2023. The decline was attributed to rising inflation and global economic slowdown affecting Singapore's furniture market.

HomesToLife (HTLM) ha riportato risultati finanziari per il primo semestre del 2024, mostrando una riduzione del 21% nei ricavi netti a $1,99M rispetto a $2,53M nel primo semestre del 2023. L'azienda ha registrato un calo del margine di utile lordo al 66,1% rispetto al 68,8%, principalmente a causa dell'aumento dei costi di spedizione. Le spese operative sono aumentate dell'8,2% a $138,473, principalmente per le spese di audit legate all'IPO. L'azienda ha riportato una perdita netta di $452,438 ($0,03 per azione) rispetto a un guadagno netto di $74,986 ($0,01 per azione) nel primo semestre del 2023. La posizione di cassa è diminuita a $544,294 rispetto ai $1,37M a fine 2023. Questo calo è stato attribuito all'aumento dell'inflazione e al rallentamento economico globale che hanno colpito il mercato dei mobili di Singapore.

La empresa experimentó una caída en el margen de beneficio bruto al 66.1% desde el 68.8%, principalmente debido al aumento de los costos de transporte. Los gastos operativos aumentaron un 8.2% a $138,473, principalmente por tarifas de auditoría relacionadas con la IPO. La empresa reportó una pérdida neta de $452,438 ($0.03 por acción) en comparación con un ingreso neto de $74,986 ($0.01 por acción) en el primer semestre de 2023. La posición de efectivo disminuyó a $544,294 desde $1.37M a finales de 2023. Esta disminución se atribuyó al aumento de la inflación y al enfriamiento económico global que afecta al mercado de muebles de Singapur.

HomesToLife (HTLM)는 2024년 상반기 재무 결과를 보고하며 순수익이 21% 감소하여 $1.99M에 이른다고 발표했습니다. 이는 2023년 상반기의 $2.53M에 비해 감소한 수치입니다. 회사는 물류 비용 증가로 인해 총 이익률이 66.1%로 감소했으며, 이는 68.8%에서 떨어진 것입니다. 운영 비용은 8.2% 증가하여 $138,473에 이르렀으며, 이는 주로 IPO 관련 감사 비용 때문입니다. 회사는 2023년 상반기 순이익 $74,986 ($0.01 per share)에 비해 $452,438 ($0.03 per share)의 순손실을 기록했습니다. 현금 위치는 2023년 말 $1.37M에서 $544,294로 감소했습니다. 이 감소는 싱가포르 가구 시장에 영향을 미치는 인플레이션 상승과 세계 경제 둔화 때문입니다.

L'entreprise a connu une baisse de la marge brute à 66,1%, contre 68,8%, principalement due à l'augmentation des coûts de transport. Les charges d'exploitation ont augmenté de 8,2 %, atteignant 138 473 $, principalement à cause des frais d'audit liés à l'introduction en bourse. L'entreprise a enregistré une perte nette de 452 438 $ (0,03 $ par action) par rapport à un bénéfice net de 74 986 $ (0,01 $ par action) au premier semestre 2023. La position de trésorerie a diminué à 544 294 $ contre 1,37 M $ à la fin de 2023. Ce déclin a été attribué à la montée de l'inflation et au ralentissement économique mondial affectant le marché du meuble de Singapour.

Insights

HomesToLife's financial results reveal significant challenges, with $1.99M in revenue marking a concerning 21% decline year-over-year. The company's shift from operating income of $52.8K to a substantial loss of $508.9K is particularly worrying. Key concerns include deteriorating gross margins, dropping from 68.8% to 66.1% and a sharp increase in operating expenses, notably a one-time IPO audit fee of $419.7K.

The cash position has weakened considerably, declining from $1.37M to $544K, while long-term liabilities increased by $760K. The negative operating cash flow of $899.5K compared to positive $53.2K last year signals deteriorating operational efficiency. With these metrics and the challenging macro environment in Singapore's furniture market, the company's near-term outlook appears concerning despite its recent Nasdaq listing.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HomesToLife Ltd (Nasdaq: HTLM) (“HomesToLife” or the “Company”), one of the leading home furniture products retail chains in Singapore, today announced that, for the first six months of 2024 ended June 30, 2024, the Company had net revenue of $1,993,323, a 21 percent decrease compared to net revenue of $2,527,724 for the first six months of 2023.

The Company’s decrease in net revenue was primarily due to a decline in revenue from sales of its leather and fabric upholstered home furniture products compared to such sales in the corresponding six-month period in 2023. This decrease was chiefly the result of rising inflation and the overall slowdown in global economic conditions, both of which negatively impacted Singapore’s home furniture market.

For the first half of 2024, the Company’s gross profit margin was 66.1 percent as compared to 68.8 percent for the first six months of 2023, a decline primarily attributable to an increase in inward freight costs.

For the first half of 2024, HomesToLife also saw an increase of $138,473, or 8.2 percent, in total operating expenses, compared to the first half of 2023. This increase was primarily the result of a rise in general and administrative expenses of $570,593, mainly consisting of an IPO audit fee of $419,706. The increase in general and administrative expenses was largely offset by a decrease of $432,119 in sales and distribution expenses, mainly due to marketing support from a related party for introducing new designs and products to the market.

The Company had a loss from operations of $508,865 during the first half of 2024, as compared to income from operations of $52,847 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Adding other income, which amounted to $56,427 in the first half of 2024 and $22,139 in the first half of 2023, HomesToLife had a net loss of $452,438, or $(0.03) per share, for the first half of 2024, as compared to net income of $74,986, or $0.01 per share, for the same period in 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 was $544,294, as compared to $1,366,956 at December 31, 2023.

Net cash used in operating activities during the first half of 2024 was $899,519, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $53,225 for the same period in 2023.

Total long-term liabilities at June 30, 2024 was $2,985,724, as compared to $2,225,228 at December 31, 2023.

Weighted average number of ordinary shares was 13,250,000 at both June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

“We are thrilled to have begun trading on Nasdaq on October 1 of this year,” said the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Phua Mei Ming. “Our performance for the first six months of 2024 reflected the effect of certain global economic factors which had been impacting Singapore’s home furniture sector.”

“In response, we are working on a number of new initiatives to expand our business into the rest of Asia. As a result, we are hopeful these initiatives will improve top and bottom-line performance on our financials for the second half of this year.”
