Rhea-AI Summary

HomesToLife Ltd (NASDAQ: HTLM) reported strong Q1 2025 financial results with revenue surging 405% to $5.2M, primarily driven by its new Asia sales subsidiary HTL Far East contributing $4.4M.

Insights

Financial Analyst

HomesToLife's 405% revenue surge driven by new subsidiary, but declining gross margins signal potential challenges despite return to profitability.

HomesToLife's Q1 2025 results show a dramatic 405% revenue increase to $5.2 million, primarily fueled by the $4.4 million contribution from its new HTL Far East subsidiary launched in November 2024. The company has successfully transitioned from a $74,000 loss in Q1 2024 to a $125,000 profit ($0.01 per share).

However, this impressive topline growth masks some concerning underlying metrics. The company's original Singapore retail business saw revenue decline by 19% to $840,000, indicating weakness in its core operations. More significantly, the overall gross margin contracted severely from 68% to 26% due to the lower-margin HTL Far East business (just 17% gross margin).

Operating expenses increased by $394,000, with $336,000 attributed to Nasdaq listing costs. Despite these expenses, cash flow from operations improved substantially, turning positive at $1.4 million compared to a $1.5 million outflow last year. The company maintains a healthy balance sheet with $3.9 million in cash and no bank borrowings.

The recent acquisition of HTL Marketing (May 2025) is projected to dramatically scale revenues, with full-year 2025 guidance between $260-290 million. This represents an extraordinary growth trajectory, with HTL Marketing alone expected to contribute $250-280 million.

While the revenue growth narrative is compelling, investors should carefully monitor gross margin trends, integration of acquisitions, and whether the core Singapore retail business can reverse its decline. The significant shift in business mix toward lower-margin operations could challenge long-term profitability despite the massive revenue expansion.

SINGAPORE, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HomesToLife Ltd (Nasdaq: HTLM) (“HomesToLife” or the "Company"), a Singapore-based home furniture company with sales across Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America regions, today announced unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (“Q1 2025”).

The Company posted net revenue of $5.2 million in Q1 2025, up 405% from net revenue of $1.0 million in Q1 2024. This increase was driven by a $4.4 million revenue contribution from HTL Far East Pte. Ltd. (“HTL Far East”), the Company’s Asia sales subsidiary launched in November 2024. Revenue from HomesToLife Pte. Ltd., the Company’s Singapore retail business, declined 19% year-over-year to $840,000, but this business improved its gross margin to 73% compared with 68% in Q1 2024.

Net income for Q1 2025 was $125,000, or $0.01 per share, compared with a net loss of $74,000, or $(0.01) per share¹, in the same period last year.

The Company’s overall gross margin declined to 26% in Q1 2025, from 68% in Q1 2024, primarily due to the lower gross margin of 17% achieved by HTL Far East. This change in revenue mix resulted in a lower blended gross margin year-over-year.

Operating expenses rose by $394,000, partly due to $336,000 in Nasdaq listing-related costs, which were not present in Q1 2024.

“The successful ramp-up of our HTL Far East business has not only produced a fivefold increase in revenue in Q1 2025, it is continuing to rapidly expand our reach and customer base across the region,” said Ms. Phua Mei Ming, Chief Executive Officer of HomesToLife.

“With the additional acquisition of HTL Marketing Pte Ltd (“HTL Marketing”), our B2B supplier of upholstered sofas and leather sofa materials, in May 2025, we are now positioned to expand beyond Asia and scale globally.

“By building a strong upstream export and sourcing platform, HomesToLife is evolving into a multi-market B2B furniture leader with a growing global footprint,” added Ms. Phua.

The above financial highlights are reflected in the following chart:

	Q1 2025 US$’000	% OF REV.	Q1 2024 US$’000	% OF REV.	Q/Q CHANGE
Net revenue	5,229		1,036		405%

Asia sales (HTL Far East)	4,389	84%	-
Gross profit	1,365	26%	705	68%	94%

Net income/(loss)	125	2.4%	(74)	(7.1%)	269%
Net income (loss) per share	0.01		(0.01)		200%

Cash flow from operating activities turned positive at $1.4 million in Q1 2025, compared to a net outflow of $1.5 million in the same period last year. Net cash used in investing and financing activities totalled $101,000 and $775,000, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company remained in a net cash position with no bank borrowings. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $3.9 million, up from $3.4 million at December 31, 2024.

Outlook for 2025

Looking ahead, HTL Far East is expected to sustain its strong revenue momentum as it continues expanding across the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, HTL Marketing is projected to contribute between US$250 million and US$280 million in revenue for the full year.

Total revenue for 2025 is expected to be between $260 and $290 million.

For the remainder of 2025, the Company will continue to maintain a robust liquidity position, providing financial flexibility to support its strategic growth initiatives while meeting near-term operational and financing needs.
