Rhea-AI Filing Summary

FST Corp. reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $12,552,012, up from $11,437,270 a year earlier, driven mainly by higher aftermarket sales in steel and graphite shafts. Operating income was $259,899, compared with an operating loss of $689,488 in second-quarter 2025. The company still posted a net loss of $1,046,379, or $0.02 per share, but this narrowed from a net loss of $3,029,029, or $0.07 per share, a year ago. For the first six months of 2026, FST was profitable, earning net income of $831,189, or $0.02 per share, versus a loss of $5,827,047 in the prior-year period.

As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $8,221,962, total assets were $62,890,586 and total shareholders’ equity was $15,949,864. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,148,290 for the first half of 2026, compared with net cash used of $4,315,501 a year earlier. Management believes existing liquidity, operating cash flow and credit facilities will fund requirements for the next 12 months. The board authorized a share repurchase program of up to $3.0 million of ordinary shares, to be executed at management’s discretion, reflecting confidence in the company’s long-term strategy while balancing growth investments with returning capital to shareholders.

Positive

  • Return to profitability in first-half 2026 with net income of $831,189 versus a $5,827,047 loss in the first half of 2025.

  • Operating cash flow turnaround with $1,148,290 provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2026 versus $4,315,501 used a year earlier.
  • Capital return flexibility through a newly authorized share repurchase program of up to $3.0 million of outstanding ordinary shares.

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

The July 28 Form 6-K reports an authorized repurchase capacity of up to $3.0 million, but not a completed purchase: the six-month cash-flow statement records $0 for treasury-share buybacks in 2026; timing, price, method and share count remain management’s discretion.

Share Repurchase Authorization $3.0 million Maximum amount under authorized stock repurchase program
share repurchase program financial
"authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to"
A share repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of each remaining share and signal confidence in the company's prospects. For investors, it often suggests that the company believes its stock is undervalued or that it has extra cash to return to shareholders.
warrant liabilities financial
"Warrant liabilities | | | 725,482 | | | | 4,311 |"
Warrant liabilities are the financial obligations a company records when it grants warrants—special rights allowing someone to buy shares at a set price in the future. If the warrants are expected to be exercised, they are treated as a liability because the company might need to deliver shares or cash later. This matters to investors because it affects the company’s reported financial health and the potential dilution of existing shares.
operating lease liabilities financial
"Operating lease liabilities, current | | | 1,698,015"
Long-term lease payments a company is legally committed to because it rents assets such as offices, factories, or equipment; under modern accounting rules these future rent obligations are recorded on the balance sheet as liabilities. Investors care because operating lease liabilities act like debt that drains future cash, affects measures of leverage and borrowing capacity, and can change profitability and valuation — think of them as a company’s large, ongoing rent payments that limit its financial flexibility.
foreign currency translation adjustment financial
"Foreign currency translation adjustment | | | (408,157 | )"
An adjustment that records the effect of changing exchange rates when a company converts the results and assets of its foreign operations into its reporting currency. It’s like converting pocket money from one currency to another and noticing its value rise or fall as exchange rates move; the adjustment doesn’t immediately affect cash but can change reported equity and periodic profit, so investors use it to judge how much currency swings are driving reported results versus core business performance.
non-controlling interests financial
"Non-controlling interests | | | 137,793"
An ownership stake in a subsidiary held by outside shareholders rather than the parent company, representing the portion of that subsidiary’s assets and profits the parent does not control. For investors, it shows what part of consolidated earnings and equity belongs to others — like a roommate who owns part of a house — which affects how much value and profit per share are truly attributable to the parent company’s shareholders.

Exhibit 99.2

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported revenue of $12.55 Million, compared to $11.43 Million for the same period in the prior year. Second quarter results were primarily driven by an increase in After-Market business and through the continued growth of KBS Graphite.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue – Revenue for the quarter was US$12.55 million, representing a 9.7% increase over the same period in 2025. The revenue increase reflects additional sales in the After-Market business in both the steel and graphite lines.

 

Gross Profit – Gross profit was US$6.01 million, or 48% of revenue, compared to US$5.26 million, or 46%, in the prior-year. The increase in gross margin was due to a change in product mix.

 

Operating Expenses – SG&A and R&D expenses were US$5.75 million, a decrease of 3.3% from the prior-year period. In the quarter, the company decreased Selling Expenses by 4.5% and G&A expenses by 5% over the same period in the previous year. R&D expenses rose by 19% or $0.067 Million as the company focuses on developing new product lines.

 

Operating Income – Operating income was US$0.26 million, compared to a loss of US$0.69 million in the prior-year period. This represents an improvement of US$0.95 million over the previous year.

 

Non-Operating Income – Non-Operating Income was a loss of $1.02 Million in the quarter compared to a loss of $2.47 Million in the same quarter of the previous year. Interest expense in the quarter was $0.22 Million and Foreign Exchange Loss was $0.12 Million. The Q2 2026 figure also included a non-cash Unrealized Loss from the change in the Fair Market Value of Warrant Liabilities totaling $0.72 Million.

 

Net Income – The company showed a net loss for the quarter of $1.05 Million compared to a net loss of $3.03 Million in Q2 2025.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of US$8.22 million. Total current assets are US$29.77 million and total current liabilities are US$31.76 million. Management believes that its current liquidity, together with cash flows from operations and available credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund operating requirements for the next 12 months.

 

Outlook

 

Management anticipates continued revenue growth through the end of the year. The Company is focused on expanding sales in both domestic and export markets. Strategic initiatives for the remainder of 2026 include:

 

Launch of new steel shaft product in Q3

 

Launch of new programs at its OEM partners where KBS is the stock shaft;

 

 

 

 

The Company expects its newly established European office to contribute incremental revenue as it expands regional sales coverage, develops new customer relationships and provides more direct support to existing customers. Management believes the Company’s local presence will strengthen its ability to capture growth opportunities across the European market;

 

The Company believes that hosting the second annual KBS Open in Taiwan will provide additional marketing exposure and enhanced brand awareness. It will strengthen engagement with customers and industry participants, and support broader awareness of the Company’s products in Taiwan and other key Asian markets. Management believes the event provides a valuable platform to showcase the KBS brand and deepen relationships within the golf community;

 

The Company intends to implement additional cost-control measures across its operations, including initiatives focused on production efficiency, inventory management, logistics and discretionary operating expenses

(Nasdaq: KBSX) (“FST” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer and marketer of steel and graphite golf shafts and a provider of other golf-related services, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

 

Revenue for second quarter was $12,552,012, a 9.7 percent increase from revenue of $11,437,270 for the second quarter of 2025. This increase was mainly the result of additional aftermarket sales in both the Company’s steel and graphite lines.

 

Net loss for the second quarter was $1,046,379, or ($0.02) per share, compared to a net loss of $3,029,029, or $(0.07) per share, in the same period of 2025. This improvement was primarily the result of a $752,673 improvement in gross profit driven by increased revenue and a change in product mix, a decline in total costs and operating expenses of $196,714, and a $2,394,387 improvement in foreign exchange loss.

 

These improvements were offset in part by an unrealized loss on change in fair value of warrant liability of $721,171 compared to no such charge in the second quarter of last year, an income tax expense of $282,578 compared to an income tax benefit of $128,747 in the year ago period, and by a decrease in other income of $224,370 compared to Q2 2025.

 

Operating income in Q2 2026 was $259,899, an improvement of $949,387 compared to an operating loss of $689,488 in the second quarter of 2025.

 

For the first six months of 2026, the Company was profitable, reporting net income of $831,189, or $0.02 per share, a $6,658,236 improvement from a net loss of $5,827,047, or $(0.13) per share, in the first half of 2025.

 

The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025 was 44,766,003.

 

As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,221,962 and $7,179,800, total assets of $62,890,586 and $60,921,557, total liabilities of $46,940,722 and $45,370,369, and total shareholders’ equity of $15,949,864 and $15,551,188, respectively.

 

For the first six months of 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,148,290 compared with net cash used in operating activities of $4,315,501 for the first six months of 2025. For the first six months of 2026 and 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $1,053,088 and $241,198, and net cash provided by financing activities was $1,739,975 and $3,435,609, respectively.

 

Management believes that its current liquidity, together with cash flows from operations and available credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund operating requirements for the next 12 months.

 

“We’re pleased to report that our strong start to the year has continued throughout the second quarter, during which we’ve grown aftermarket revenue in both our steel and graphite lines and improved gross margins while reducing our operating expenses,” said FST Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David Chuang. “In addition, the flexibility utilized in our capital structure has enabled us to lay the foundation for providing greater long-term value for our shareholders.”

 

 

 

 

“Looking forward, we anticipate continued revenue growth through the end of the year via expanding sales in both domestic and export markets.” Mr. Chuang said these strategic initiatives include:

 

Launch of new steel shaft product in Q3

 

Launch of new programs at OEM partners where KBS is the stock shaft;

 

Expansion of regional sales coverage, development of new customer relationships and increased support provided to existing customers by the Company’s European office, allowing it to contribute incremental revenue across the European market;

 

Hosting the second annual KBS Open in Taiwan, thereby providing additional marketing exposure, enhancing brand awareness, and strengthening engagement with customers and industry participants in Taiwan and other key Asian markets.

 

Implement additional cost-control measures focused on production efficiency, inventory management, logistics and discretionary operating expenses.

 

Share Repurchase Plan

 

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized a stock repurchase program under which the company may repurchase up to $3.0 million of its outstanding ordinary shares. Shares may be repurchased from time to time through open-market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or other legally permissible means. The timing, manner, price, and actual number of shares repurchased will be determined at management’s discretion, based on various factors, including stock price, market and business conditions, the Company’s capital position and liquidity requirements, applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and other relevant considerations.

 

This authorization reflects the Board’s confidence in the Company’s long-term strategy and growth trajectory and provides the Company the flexibility to repurchase shares when balanced against the Company’s operating, liquidity and growth requirements.

 

The Company remains committed to maintaining a disciplined capital-allocation strategy that balances investments in growth with opportunities to return capital to shareholders.
