Insights

Financial Analyst

The earnings report reveals concerning trends beneath the surface. While revenue grew 22.9% to $9.2 million, CCSC swung to a $0.7 million net loss from a $0.4 million profit last year. The deterioration stems from multiple factors: a 0.6% gross margin decline to 29.8%, a 38.5% surge in operating expenses to $3.6 million and unfavorable forex movements.

The geographic revenue breakdown shows heavy reliance on Europe at 61% of sales, potentially concerning given current macroeconomic headwinds in the region. While the Serbia supply chain center expansion could optimize European operations, it represents significant capital expenditure during a period of declining profitability.

The shift from $0.04 EPS to -$0.06 EPS, combined with rising costs and compressed margins, suggests near-term earnings pressure despite top-line growth. The company's small market cap of $21.7 million and recent IPO status add additional risk factors.

Market Research Analyst

The company's strategic pivot towards high-growth sectors like new energy, robotics and medical technologies indicates market awareness but faces execution challenges. Core cable and wire harness revenue grew 24.9%, while connector sales declined slightly, suggesting product mix optimization opportunities.

Customer inventory destocking appears complete, with renewed order momentum driving volume growth. However, declining average selling prices point to competitive pressure. The 47.5% volume increase coupled with a 13.6% decrease in unit costs suggests aggressive pricing strategies to gain market share, potentially at the expense of profitability.

The ASEAN market expansion and $0.2 million investment in market development demonstrates geographic diversification efforts, though returns remain uncertain given the competitive landscape and current profitability challenges.

HONG KONG, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited (the "Company" or "CCSC") (Nasdaq: CCTG), a Hong Kong-based company that engages in the sale, design and manufacturing of interconnect products, including connectors, cables and wire harnesses, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first six months of fiscal year 2025 ended September 30, 2024.

Mr. Kung Lok Chiu, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, commented, "The first six months of fiscal year 2025 has been a remarkable period of growth for our Company. We are proud to report a 22.9% increase in revenue compared to the same period last year, while our gross margin remained stable despite a net loss of $0.74 million in a challenging environment. Furthermore, in January 2024, we successfully completed our initial public offering (IPO) and got listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "CCTG".

Looking forward, we plan to strategically focus on further expanding into high-growth industries, such as new energy, robotics, and medical technologies.

First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

Revenue

Total revenue was $9.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, which increased by 22.9% from $7.5 million for the same period of last year.

The following table sets forth revenue by interconnect products: 

		For the six months ended September 30,																Change
		2024				%				2023				%				Amount				%
		(Amounts expressed in U.S. dollars)
Cable and wire harness		$	8,604,502				93.3 %			$	6,887,303				91.8 %			$	1,717,199				24.9 %
Connectors			613,957				6.7 %				616,217				8.2 %				(2,260)				(0.4) %
Total		$	9,218,459				100.0 %			$	7,503,520				100.0 %			$	1,714,939				22.9 %

Revenue generated from cables and wire harnesses increased by 24.9%, to $8.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $6.9 million for the same period of last year. Revenue generated from connectors remained essentially unchanged compared to the same period last year.

The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume and partially offset by the decrease in the average selling price of products. The increase in demand was mainly due to that customers had utilized their inventories previously purchased  and increased their orders accordingly.

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

		For the six months ended September 30,																Change
		2024				%				2023				%				Amount				%
		(Amounts expressed in U.S. dollars)
Europe		$	5,626,272				61.0 %			$	4,336,284				57.8 %			$	1,289,988				29.7 %
Asia			2,736,289				29.7 %				2,388,511				31.8 %				347,778				14.6 %
Americas			855,847				9.3 %				778,725				10.4 %				77,122				9.9 %
Other regions			51				0.0 %				-				0.0 %				51				0.0 %
Total		$	9,218,459				100 %			$	7,503,520				100 %			$	1,714,939				22.9 %

Revenue generated from Europe increased by 29.7%, to $5.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $4.3 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to the increase of sales in Denmark of $1.0 million and Bulgaria of $0.2 million.

Revenue generated from Asia increased by 14.6%, to $2.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $2.4 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to sales increases in Hong Kong, China of $0.1 million, and sales increases in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, of $0.2 million.

Revenue generated from the Americas increased by 9.9%, to $0.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $0.8 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to sales increases in Northern America of $0.08 million.

Revenue from other regions was mainly derived from Australia.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased by 23.9%, to $6.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $5.2 million for the same period of last year, which was in line with the increase of the total revenue.

Inventory costs amounted to $4.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.5 million for the same period of last year. The increase of inventory costs was primarily due to a 47.5% increase in the total sales volume and a 13.6% decrease in the inventory cost per unit.

Labor costs amounted to $1.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1.2 million for the same period of last year. The increase of labor costs was primarily due to the increase in production volume as a result of an increase in sales volume.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased by 20.5%, to $2.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $2.3 million for the same period of last year.

Gross profit margin was 29.8% for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared with 30.4% for the same period of last year. The gross profit margin was basically consistent with the same period of 2023. The Company recruited more workers to cope with the increased sales volume, and the increased labor costs eroded profits, resulting in a decrease in gross profit margin.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by 38.5%, to $3.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $2.6 million for the same period of last year. The expense increase was mainly due to the increases in the selling expenses of $0.3 million, inclusive of $0.2 million in costs relating to market development and expansion to ASEAN market, and general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million, inclusive of $0.6 million in agent and professional fees for expenses related to compliance requirements as a public company following the IPO in the U.S..

Other Income/(Expenses)

Other income/(expenses) decreased by $0.8 million, to other expenses of $0.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from other income of $0.6 million for the same period of last year, primarily due to the decrease in foreign exchange gain.

Income tax benefit

Income tax benefit increased by 170.7%, to $0.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from $0.1 million for the same period of last year, which was due to the loss of CCSC Technology Group for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Net (Loss)/Income

Net income decreased by 280.0%, to net loss of $0.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, from net income of $0.4 million for the same period of last year.

Basic and Diluted (Loss)/Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.06 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.04 for the same period of last year.
