Insights

Financial Analyst

Jerash Holdings reversed losses to profit with improved margins despite slight revenue decline, showing operational efficiency gains and successful diversification strategy.

Jerash Holdings has executed an impressive turnaround in Q1 FY2026, shifting from a $829,000 operating loss to $959,000 operating income and from a $1.4 million net loss to $324,000 net income year-over-year. This financial reversal occurred despite a slight revenue decline from $40.9 million to $39.6 million.

The 410 basis point improvement in gross margin (from 11.3% to 15.4%) is particularly noteworthy as it signals enhanced operational efficiency. This margin expansion stems from three key operational improvements: normalized logistics through resumed Aqaba Port shipping routes, better production planning reducing overtime costs, and lower repair and maintenance expenses.

The company's strategic positioning as an alternative to Chinese and Southeast Asian manufacturing appears to be gaining traction, evidenced by the completed first phase of a major order from a large U.S. retailer through their Hansoll Textile collaboration. The 15% expansion in manufacturing capacity completed in June 2025 positions Jerash to capitalize on this demand shift, with facilities fully booked through February 2026.

While the $7.5 million cash position appears modest relative to quarterly revenue, the $34.6 million working capital provides adequate operational flexibility. The maintenance of the $0.05 quarterly dividend signals management confidence in sustained profitability despite acknowledging potential headwinds from tariff changes and regional geopolitical instability.

For investors, the Q2 revenue guidance of $40-42 million with projected gross margins of 15-16% suggests the turnaround is sustainable, not just a one-quarter anomaly. The company's ability to maintain profitability while expanding capacity will be the key metric to watch in coming quarters.

Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Highlights

• Operating income increased to $959,000, from an operating loss of $829,000.

• Net income increased to $324,000 from a net loss of $1.4 million in the prior year quarter.

• Gross profit increased 31.2 percent to $6.1 million, from $4.6 million in the prior year quarter.

• Gross margin improved 410 basis points to 15.4 percent, from 11.3 percent in the prior year quarter.

Outlook

• Revenue for the fiscal 2026 second quarter is expected to be approximately $40 million-$42 million.

• Gross margin goal for fiscal 2026 second quarter is expected to be approximately 15-16 percent.

FAIRFIELD, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2025 / Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (NASDAQ:JRSH) (the "Company" or "Jerash"), which manufactures and exports custom, ready-made, sportswear and outerwear for leading global brands, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2026 first quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"Our fiscal first quarter performance reflects growing customer demand, as companies continue to seek alternative manufacturing partners and diversify away from China and Southeast Asia," said Sam Choi, Jerash's chairman and chief executive officer. "We also enhanced operating efficiency through reduced logistics costs and minimal need for overtime, supported by better production planning. Another key factor for the positive performance was the return to routing import raw material shipments through Aqaba Port in Jordan, with shorter lead times and lower transportation costs than the alternative routes we had to use while shipping through the disrupted Red Sea.

"I am pleased to report that we have successfully completed production of the first phase of a major initial order from one of the largest U.S.-based multinational and omnichannel retailers, through our strategic collaboration with Hansoll Textile. Shipments are scheduled to begin in September and continue through February 2026. We continue to seek further collaborations that create mutual value and strengthen long-term partnerships.

"As previously announced, the expansion of our existing manufacturing facilities was completed in June 2025, and we are currently onboarding additional workers to support an approximate 15 percent increase in production capacity. The added capacity is expected to begin contributing to Jerash's performance starting in the second fiscal quarter.

"Our facilities are fully booked through February 2026. While this is an exciting time for Jerash, we remain vigilant about the potential impacts of recent tariff changes and the ongoing geopolitical instability in the region, as we plan for additional expansion opportunities," Choi added.

Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Results

Revenue for the fiscal 2026 first quarter was $39.6 million, compared with $40.9 million in the same quarter last year. The slight decline in revenue was primarily caused by some customer shipments being redirected to Aqaba Port in Jordan in order to avoid disruptions at Haifa Port in Israel, which began in late June 2025 and delayed shipments on several orders.

Gross profit increased by 31.2 percent to $6.1 million for the fiscal 2026 first quarter, from $4.6 million in the same quarter last year. Gross profit margin for the quarter increased to 15.4 percent, from 11.3 percent in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by improved logistics and production planning, with the resumption of import sea routes through Aqaba Port, which provides shorter lead times and lower transportation costs.

Operating expenses totaled $5.1 million in the fiscal 2026 first quarter, compared with $5.5 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expenses and lower expenses on repair and maintenance.

Operating income increased to $959,000 in the fiscal 2026 first quarter, from an operating loss of $829,000 in the same period last year. The improvement was mainly attributable to reduced import logistics costs, decreased overtime due to improved logistics and production planning, lower stock-based compensation expenses, and reduced spending on repairs and maintenance.

Total other expenses were $307,000 in the fiscal 2026 first quarter, compared with $426,000 in the same quarter last year. This was primarily due to lower interest rates and a decline in supply chain financing program usage.

Income tax expenses were $329,000 in the fiscal 2026 first quarter, compared with $112,000 in the prior year quarter.

Net income increased to $324,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the fiscal 2026 first quarter, compared with a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year. Comprehensive profit attributable to the Company's common stockholders totaled $328,000 in the fiscal 2026 first quarter, versus a comprehensive loss of $1.3 million in the same period last year.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Dividends

Cash and restricted cash totaled $7.5 million, and net working capital was $34.6 million as of June 30, 2025. Cash was reduced at quarter-end due to orders shipping later than expected and payments not received until the start of the following quarter.

On August 8, 2025, Jerash's board of directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share on its common stock, payable on August 29, 2025 to stockholders of record as of August 22, 2025.
