Hour Loop, Inc. reported higher sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 while remaining profitable but using more cash. Net revenues rose to $33.9 million for the quarter and $63.9 million for the first half of 2026, up from $27.1 million and $52.9 million a year earlier, driven mainly by higher order volume and modestly higher average order values.
Net income was $1.1 million for the quarter and $1.9 million for the first half of 2026, slightly above the prior-year periods as increased selling and marketing expenses and higher cost of revenues offset much of the revenue growth. Cash from operations was a $3.6 million outflow, compared with a $0.9 million outflow a year earlier, reflecting heavier inventory purchases and longer Amazon disbursement cycles. Cash declined to $985,404, with inventories increasing to $20.9 million and total assets at $26.2 million. The company relies heavily on Amazon, which accounted for approximately 97% of first-half 2026 revenues, and is managing new trade tariffs, Amazon fee and policy changes, and the loss of labeling services through supply-chain adjustments and selective price increases. Related-party debt totaled $3.41 million, with a new amendment calling for monthly repayments of $200,000 starting August 31, 2026.
Hour Loop, Inc. reported second quarter 2026 results showing strong top-line growth with some margin and cash flow pressure. Net revenues for the quarter were $33.9 million, up 25% from $27.1 million a year earlier, driven primarily by expanded inventory availability that supported better product availability and sales execution.
Gross profit margin declined to 52.9% from 57.2% as the sales mix and pricing strategy shifted from last year’s tariff-driven focus on preserving lower-cost inventory and higher margins. Operating expenses improved as a percentage of revenue, falling to 49.2% from 51.2% due to greater operating leverage and efficiency gains. Net income was $1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with $1.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter.
Cash used in operating activities for the first six months of 2026 increased to $3.6 million from $0.9 million in the prior-year period, and cash and cash equivalents decreased to $1.0 million as of June 30, 2026 from $3.8 million at December 31, 2025, largely due to payments to related parties and higher inventory investment. Despite these pressures, the company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 outlook, guiding net revenue to $143.0–$163.0 million and net income to $0.75–$1.5 million.
