Exhibit 99.1
Kandal M Venture Limited Issues Guidance Projecting
Improved Top and Bottom Line for Full Year Fiscal
2026
Cambodia, April 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Kandal M Venture Limited (Nasdaq: FMFC) (“Kandal” or the “Company”), a contract manufacturer of affordable
luxury leather goods with manufacturing operations in Cambodia, today announced general guidance for the full fiscal year ended March
31, 2026.
Management stated that for fiscal 2026 ended March
31, both revenue and net Income are expected to increase versus the previous fiscal year. For that period, ended March 31, 2025, the Company
had revenue of approximately $17.2 million and net income of about $210,000, or $.01 per share.
For the first six months of fiscal 2026 ended
September 30, 2025, Kandal generated revenue of approximately $7.9 million and net income of about $169,000, or $.01 per share.
The Company added that its financial position
is expected to remain strong through fiscal 2027, as Kandal currently has zero debt and adequate cash on its balance sheet.
While U.S. tariffs have periodically presented
a drag on the Company’s top and bottom-line performance over the past three quarters, Director and Chairman Duncan Miao said Kandal
is executing “a concrete plan to mitigate these effects and return the Company to its former growth and profitability.”
The crux of this plan, said Mr. Miao, is diversifying
Kandal’s customer base to increase its sales mix to markets with lower tariff impact. These markets include such nations as the
U.K., Japan and other nations in Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
Negotiations with several luxury brands in these
markets, said Kandal’s CEO Fok Yui Kwong, are in “advanced stages” and have the potential to produce “significantly
enhanced revenue” for fiscal 2026 and beyond.
Both Cambodia and the Philippines, where Kandal
manufactures and exports its goods, benefit from reduced or zero tariff rates when exporting to the UK under the Developing
Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS).
In addition, both countries receive highly preferential or zero import tariff rates from Japan based on bilateral and regional
Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs).
To support its diversification strategy, Kandal
expanded its manufacturing footprint to the Philippines last month. While this move does not reduce the Company’s overall tariff
rate, it increases total production capacity, meets production-specific requirements of some of the Company’s customer brands, and
minimizes or eliminates the risks associated with relying on a single manufacturing location.
These risks, said Mr. Miao, include potential
disruptions from natural or environmental disasters, pandemics, geopolitical tensions, or even routine extended holidays. Manufacturing
sites located in multiple nations also enables companies to decrease expenses by leveraging lower labor costs, affordable utilities, and
more competitive raw-materials sourcing.
Benefits from these strategies, said the CEO,
“are pointing towards accelerating order flow for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.”
Regarding the Company’s ongoing sales to
the U.S. market, Mr. Miao added that the reduction of U.S. tariff rates on Cambodia - from 36% to 19% in August 2025 - is expected to
continue to have a “limited effect” on Kandal’s revenue.
“Overall, we believe this global strategy
will drive improved growth and margins for Kandal. We look forward to sharing updates on our progress as we continue executing our initiatives.”
