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.

Hour Loop, Inc. updated 2026 bonus arrangements for its top executives and controlling shareholders, CEO Sam Lai and Senior Vice President Maggie Yu.

Only one of these performance bonuses can be paid to each executive.
Separately, Mr. Lai and Ms. Yu are each entitled to a guaranteed bonus of $100,000 on December 22, 2026. The filing notes that Mr. Lai and Ms. Yu, who are husband and wife, together beneficially own 33,360,142 shares of Hour Loop common stock, representing about 94.8% of the company’s voting power.
Hour Loop, Inc. reported first quarter 2026 net revenues of $29.9 million, up 16% from $25.8 million a year earlier, driven mainly by expanded inventory that improved product availability and sales execution.

Gross profit margin slipped to 53.5% from 54.7% as higher inbound costs and storage fees from larger inventory weighed on results, while operating expenses grew 12% and fell to 49.7% of revenue, reflecting better operating leverage. Operating activities used $2.2 million of cash, contributing to a decline in cash and cash equivalents to $0.99 million as of March 31, 2026, from $3.79 million at year-end 2025, alongside higher inventory of $21.1 million. The company reaffirmed its 2026 outlook for net revenue of $143.0–$163.0 million and net income of $0.75–$1.5 million.
Hour Loop, Inc. reported full-year 2025 net revenues of $142.4 million, up from $138.3 million in 2024, with net income rising to $1.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. Cash provided by operating activities improved to $2.6 million from $0.3 million, and cash and cash equivalents increased to $3.8 million as of December 31, 2025, from $2.1 million a year earlier.
Profitability strengthened despite tariff pressures, as gross margin expanded to 52.4% and operating income more than tripled to $2.5 million, helped by lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. For 2026, Hour Loop forecasts net revenue between $143 million and $163 million and net income between $0.75 million and $1.5 million.
