Historical Context

Date	Event	Sentiment	Move	Catalyst
Nov 10	Nasdaq deficiency	Negative	+1.4%	Nasdaq notified FCHL of sub‑$1 minimum bid price deficiency.
Sep 05	IPO / offering	Positive	+8.2%	IPO of 3.75M shares at $4.00 raised $8.0M gross for expansion.

Pattern Detected

Limited history shows one positive alignment on the IPO and one divergence on a negative Nasdaq deficiency notice.

Recent Company History

Over recent months, FCHL’s key developments included its Nasdaq IPO and a later bid-price deficiency notice. The September 2025 IPO raised $8.0 million gross from 3.75 million shares at $4.00, supporting expansion and hiring plans. In November 2025, Nasdaq notified FCHL it had fallen below the $1.00 minimum bid, triggering a 180-day remediation window to May 5, 2026. Today’s H1 FY2025 results introduce softer profitability against this backdrop of recent listing and compliance pressure.

Market Pulse Summary

The stock dropped -12.0% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite management’s growth messaging fits the weaker H1 FY2025 financials, including revenue of S$2.16 million, lower 28.86% gross margin, and a S$0.25 million net loss versus prior-year profit. Historically, FCHL saw a divergence when shares rose slightly on a Nasdaq bid-price deficiency notice, so a sharper pullback here would mark a more fundamentals-driven move. Sustainability of any decline would likely hinge on future execution of the Dubai expansion and cost controls.

Key Terms

reverse stock split financial

"The company is evaluating options, including a possible reverse stock split, but..."

A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.

minimum bid price requirement regulatory

"it failed to meet the $1 minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)..."

A minimum bid price requirement is a rule that a stock must trade above a set price for a specified period to stay listed on an exchange. It matters to investors because falling below that threshold can trigger warnings or removal from the exchange, which can cut liquidity, reduce visibility, and often lead to sharper declines in share value—think of it like a venue’s minimum dress code that, if not met, can bar a performer from the stage.

First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2025 Unaudited Financial Results

Revenues

Total revenues were S$2.16 million (US$1.64 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 2.9% from S$2.23 million for the same period last year. The decline was primarily attributable to a 2.9% decrease in swim fees, which fell from approximately $2.22 million in the prior-year period to approximately $2.16 million in the current period. The reduction in swim fees was mainly due to lower enrollment levels during the period.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue was S$1.54 million (US$1.17 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 6.1% from S$1.45 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the revision of coaches’ fees effective January 1, 2025, which resulted in higher compensation costs when compared to the prior-year period. Our cost of revenue mainly comprises coaches’ fees (including salaries and benefits), entrance fees, merchandise costs, and assessment fees associated with the swim lessons delivered during the period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was S$0.62 million (US$0.47 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to S$0.78 million for the same period last year.

Gross profit margin was 28.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 34.86% for the same period last year.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were S$0.97 million (US$0.73) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to S$0.60 million for the same period last year.

●

Selling and distribution expenses were S$0.21 million (US$0.16 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to S$0.04 million for the same period last year. The substantial portion of the increase in marketing expenses, approximately $0.07 million, was spent on professional services. These services supported several strategic initiatives aligned with the Company’s planned expansion into Dubai, which is targeted to commence on January 1, 2026. In addition, the Company invested approximately $0.03 million in rebranding efforts as part of the broader expansion strategy. The Company also allocated around $0.02 million for advertising campaigns with Google and Meta during the first half of 2025. These digital campaigns aimed at increasing brand awareness and driving engagement, with the goal of building a stronger online presence ahead of the Dubai expansion. The remaining marketing expenditure was mainly related to broader brand-building and promotional activities to support enrollment growth.

	●	General and administrative expenses were S$0.76 million (US$0.58 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 35.7% from S$0.56 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher employee compensation, which rose by approximately $0.20 million, or 45.8%, due to the salary revision effective January 1, 2025 and bonus payments made on June 30, 2025.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss was S$0.25 million (US$0.19 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income of S$0.18 million for the same period last year, which is primarily attributed to the lower Revenues and higher Operating Expenses.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share was S$0.0165 (US$0.0129) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to basic and diluted income per share of S$183,000 for the same period last year.
