Insights

Financial Analyst

iPower reported declining revenues and swung to a loss amid reduced orders from its largest channel partner, though debt reduction and cost-cutting show financial discipline.

iPower's Q3 results reveal a 29% year-over-year revenue decline to $16.6 million, primarily driven by lower order volumes from its largest channel partner. This significant top-line contraction led to a concerning shift from $1.0 million profit last year to a $0.3 million net loss (-$0.01 per share) this quarter.

The 43.3% gross margin represents a slight deterioration from 44.5% a year ago, attributed to changes in revenue mix as the company's SuperSuite business grows to approximately 20% of total revenue. While this service offering appears to be gaining traction, it currently operates at lower margins than the core product business.

On the positive side, management has made notable progress in operational efficiency, reducing operating expenses by 15% year-over-year through optimization initiatives. Most impressive is their aggressive debt reduction strategy, cutting total debt by 43% to $3.6 million from $6.3 million at the fiscal year start.

Cash position has weakened substantially, with cash and equivalents declining to $2.2 million from $7.4 million at the end of June 2024. While some of this cash was strategically deployed to reduce debt, the $5.2 million cash burn over nine months raises questions about sustainability if revenue weakness persists.

Management's focus on supply chain diversification, including expanded U.S. manufacturing and new supplier relationships, addresses operational vulnerabilities but will take time to yield results. The company appears to be pivoting toward its SuperSuite business as a growth driver while navigating challenging demand conditions in its core channels.

Management Commentary

“We made important strides in strengthening our operations during the quarter, even as we navigated a more cautious demand environment that impacted order volumes across key channels,” said Lawrence Tan, CEO of iPower. “In response, we’ve accelerated efforts to diversify our supply chain by expanding manufacturing into the U.S., as well as continuing to cultivate relationships with alternative suppliers in new geographies. These actions are central to our strategy to build a more agile and resilient supply chain capable of supporting long-term growth and reducing exposure to external volatility.”

“In our SuperSuite business, we are continuing to gain traction and generating solid momentum, with our SuperSuite now representing approximately 20% of our total revenue mix, underscoring the robust demand for our end-to-end supply chain solutions. SuperSuite continues to evolve as a comprehensive, data-driven platform that equips our partners with the tools, insights and infrastructure they need to thrive in today’s competitive ecommerce landscape. We are working through a strong pipeline of prospective partners and look forward to capitalizing on the demand for SuperSuite as we continue to build out our partner ecosystem and deliver greater value to our current partners.”

iPower CFO, Kevin Vassily, added, “We faced a challenging comp this quarter due to elevated purchasing volumes from our largest channel partner in the year-ago period. Nonetheless, we continued to benefit from the optimization initiatives we implemented in fiscal 2024, resulting in a 10% improvement in operating expenses for the quarter. Additionally, we reduced our total debt obligations by nearly 20% during the quarter, demonstrating our commitment to strengthening the balance sheet. With our ongoing efforts to diversify our supply chain, accelerating momentum in SuperSuite, and an optimized operating structure, we believe we are well positioned to navigate the current market environment and deliver long term value to our customers and shareholders alike.”

Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results 

Total revenue in the fiscal third quarter of 2025 was $16.6 million compared to $23.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by lower product sales to the Company’s largest channel partner, partially offset by growth in iPower’s SuperSuite supply chain offerings.

Gross profit in the fiscal third quarter of 2025 was $7.2 million compared to $10.4 million in the same quarter in fiscal 2024. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin was 43.3% compared to 44.5% in the year-ago period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by an increase in services income in the quarter.

Total operating expenses in the fiscal third quarter of 2025 improved 15% to $7.4 million compared to $8.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. The decrease in operating expenses was driven primarily by lower general and administrative costs from the Company’s optimization initiatives, as well as lower selling and fulfillment expenses related to the Company’s largest channel partner.

Net loss attributable to iPower in the fiscal third quarter of 2025 was $0.3 million or $(0.01) per share, compared to net income attributable to iPower of $1.0 million or $0.03 per share for the same period in fiscal 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents were $2.2 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $7.4 million at June 30, 2024. As a result of the Company’s consistent debt paydown, total debt was reduced by 43% to $3.6 million compared to $6.3 million as of June 30, 2024.
