“As broad global trade negotiations under the current administration remain ongoing, we expect tariffs to continue to be a headwind for our customers and industry at large, which may impact the Company’s future financial performance. We remain optimistic about Surge’s business outlook as we navigate these short-term economic challenges. During the quarter, the Company had various business developments, including the addition of new sales talent in both the Challenge and Surge sales teams. We look forward to the growth contribution from this new sales talent going forward.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended May 31, 2025

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended May 31, 2025 increased by $1,571,730 or 21.4%, to $8,916,725 as compared to net sales of $7,344,995 for the three months ended May 31, 2024. We attribute the increase to an increase in business with new customers as well as an increase in business with existing customers.

Gross profit for the three months ended May 31, 2025 increased by $685,838 to $2,688,403, or 34.2%, as compared to $2,002,565 for the three months ended May 31, 2024. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 30.2% for the three months ended May 31, 2025 compared to 27.3% for the three months ended May 31, 2024. The increase in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of sales can be attributed to the increase in sales volume.

Our industry will continue to receive pressure from customers for price reductions. Some of them further demand periodic price reductions on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, as opposed to annual fixed pricing. We work with electronic manufacturing service subcontractor customers who manufacture products for other customers who do not have their own manufacturing operations. At times we are not able to recover these price reductions from our suppliers. The Company has agreements with these subcontractor customers to provide periodic cost reductions through rebates in the amount of 5%. These reductions only affect future shipments of our products, and do not affect existing orders. These reductions can have a negative impact on our profit margins since they reduce the amount of commissions we can earn. Even though this rebate can impact the Company’s gross profit margin, these subcontractor customers represent very significant potential growth for the Company, because they can help the Company become an approved supplier at the customers they manufacture for, and they purchase our components for these customers. We believe it would be very difficult for the Company to achieve business at these customers without the help of these subcontractor customers. During the first half of fiscal year of 2025, the Company was impacted by tariff costs on certain products imported from China as well as new tariffs that went into effect as of February 4, 2025 in addition to pre-existing tariffs that went into effect as of July 6, 2018. The Company has been able to pass along a portion of these costs to its customers. The Company is also moving some customer deliveries directly to Hong Kong in order to mitigate some of these costs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to pass along the new costs or the effects if any it will have on our revenue in the future.

Selling and shipping expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2025 was $678,852, an increase of $6,285, or less than 1%, as compared to $672,567 for three months ended May 31, 2024. We attribute the increase for the three months ended May 31, 2025 to increases in commission expenses, freight expenses, travel and entertainment expenses offset by decreases in salesman payroll and auto expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2025 was $1,929,441, an increase of $729,401, or 60.8%, as compared to $1,200,040 for the three months ended May 31, 2024. The increase for the three months ended May 31, 2025 is due primarily to non cash stock based compensation of $531,797. The increase can also be attributed to increases in salaries and related payroll tax expenses as well as bank charges and bad debt expenses, professional fees and consulting expenses but partially offset by decreases in rent expenses and public company expenses.

Net income for the three months ended May 31, 2025 was $117,964, compared to net income of $197,940 for the three months ended May 31, 2024.
