Recent Company History

Over the last few months, iPower has focused on capital structure and a new Digital Asset Treasury. It repaid a JPMorgan ABL facility on Dec 7, 2025, then secured a $30 million convertible note facility on Dec 23, 2025 to fund crypto purchases and working capital. Initial Bitcoin and Ethereum buys on Dec 26, 2025 and subsequent DAT updates saw mixed price reactions. A January 2026 channel-partner highlight also drew a selloff, underscoring uneven investor confidence in the evolving strategy.

supply chain platform technical

"tangible operating progress across its SuperSuite supply chain platform"

A supply chain platform is software that helps companies track, coordinate and optimize the flow of materials, products and information from suppliers to customers, like a digital control center that shows where goods are, who is responsible and how long each step takes. Investors care because better visibility and automation can cut costs, reduce delays and improve sales predictability, which can boost margins, cash flow and the company’s ability to scale.

last-mile logistics technical

"rollout of additional last-mile logistics vendors that are already live"

Last-mile logistics is the final stage of getting a product from a local hub to the buyer’s hands, covering doorstep delivery, in-store pickup points, or locker drop-offs. It matters to investors because this short final leg often drives the highest delivery costs, affects customer satisfaction and repeat business, and can determine whether a seller scales profitably — like the last mile of a relay where performance can make or break the whole outcome.

unit economics financial

"last-mile logistics vendors that are already live and operational, improving unit economics"

Unit economics analyzes the profitability of a single product or service by comparing the revenue it generates to the costs involved in producing and delivering it. It helps determine whether each sale contributes to overall profit, much like assessing if selling one item covers its production costs and leaves money left over. Investors use this to judge if a business model is sustainable and capable of growth.

supply chain partner technical

"Koala Story Onboarded as New SuperSuite Supply Chain Partner"

A supply chain partner is an outside company or organization that provides materials, parts, manufacturing, transport, or other services a business needs to make and deliver its products or services. Investors care because these partners directly affect a company’s costs, production timing, product quality and reputation; like teammates in a relay race, a late or low-quality handoff from a partner can slow production, cut profits or damage the stock.

logistics network technical

"both of which are already live within the Company’s logistics network"

A logistics network is the system of warehouses, transportation routes, inventory hubs and information links companies use to move products from suppliers to customers. For investors, its design and efficiency determine how quickly goods reach markets, how much companies spend on shipping and storage, and how resilient operations are to disruptions—similar to how a city's road layout affects traffic flow and delivery times.

capital structure financial

"continues to evaluate its operating and capital structure to maximize"

Capital structure is the way a company finances its operations and growth by using different sources of money, such as borrowed funds (loans or bonds) and owner’s equity (investments from owners or shareholders). It’s like a recipe for baking a cake, where the balance of ingredients affects the final product's strength and taste; similarly, the mix of debt and equity influences a company's stability and risk. For investors, understanding a company's capital structure helps gauge how risky it might be to invest or lend money.

(Nasdaq: IPW) (“iPower” or the “Company”) today announced tangible operating progress across its SuperSuite supply chain platform (“SuperSuite”), including onboarding a new supply-chain partner and the rollout of additional last-mile logistics vendors that are already live and operational, improving unit economics.

Koala Story Onboarded as New SuperSuite Supply Chain Partner

Koala Story, a healthy pet snack brand, has joined iPower’s SuperSuite ecosystem as a supply chain partner. The initial product launch will focus on Koala Story’s U.S.-manufactured Chicken Chips dog treats, with additional products planned for future expansion across online sales channels.

Koala Story’s products are produced by an experienced U.S. manufacturing partner that supports major national consumer brands sold through leading U.S. retail channels. iPower believes the pet snack category is a large and growing market supported by premiumization trends and repeat purchase consumer behavior, and that Koala Story is well positioned for online scale.

Last-Mile Delivery Costs Reduced Through New Logistics Partners

To improve delivery efficiency and reduce last mile costs, iPower has engaged new logistics partners, including UniUni and GoFo, both of which are already live within the Company’s logistics network. These partnerships are expected to lower last mile delivery costs and improve delivery performance in key regions.

“SuperSuite is built to scale through iPower’s operating execution and disciplined cost management,” said Lawrence Tan, CEO of iPower. “Onboarding quality partners and structurally lowering fulfillment costs are the fundamentals that drive durable value creation, and we are focused on executing those fundamentals.”
