Planet Image loss narrows to $1M, revenue down 7%
Planet Image International Limited (YIBO) reported lower revenue but a sharply reduced loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Planet Image International Limited (YIBO) reported lower revenue but a sharply reduced loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Net revenue was $69.3 million, down 7.0% from $74.5 million a year earlier, mainly due to exiting most online retail sales and weaker offline sales to dealers, particularly in the U.S. Gross profit declined to $19.6 million from $24.0 million, while operating expenses fell more steeply, down 37.0% to $21.8 million, reflecting the absence of prior-period share-based compensation and lower selling, G&A and R&D costs. As a result, net loss narrowed to $1.0 million from $8.0 million.
Cash and restricted cash fell from $53.9 million at December 31, 2025 to $24.8 million at June 30, 2026, driven by $19.8 million of net cash used in operating activities and $10.2 million used in investing, partly funded by $1.4 million of net financing inflows. Short-term borrowings increased to $24.0 million, with total borrowings of $32.7 million. The business mix shifted: offline sales to ODM customers rose 68.8% to $46.8 million, while offline dealer sales and online retail sales declined sharply. Revenue from the U.S. market decreased from $42.5 million to $28.2 million, while Europe and Asia grew.
Positive
- Net loss improved by $7.0 million, narrowing from $8.0 million to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, helped by lower operating expenses.
- Total operating expenses dropped 37.0% year over year to $21.8 million, reflecting the absence of $8.6 million share-based compensation and cuts in selling, G&A and R&D.
- ODM revenue grew 68.8% to $46.8 million, and revenue from Europe and Asia rose 23.5% and 53.5%, respectively, diversifying away from the U.S. market.
Negative
- Net revenue declined 7.0% to $69.3 million, with gross profit down 18.2% to $19.6 million, pressured by lower higher-margin dealer and online sales.
- Cash and restricted cash fell by $29.1 million in six months to $24.8 million, driven by $19.8 million of net operating cash outflow and $10.2 million used in investing.
- U.S. revenue dropped from $42.5 million to $28.2 million and North America overall declined 28.7%, reflecting tariff impacts and weaker dealer and online demand.
- Foreign exchange swung from a $1.8 million gain to a $1.8 million loss, reducing total other income despite higher non-operating income from warehouse leasing.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amount in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| (a) | Basis of presentation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows, as applicable, have been made. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025 appearing in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. For consolidated subsidiaries where the Company’s ownership in the subsidiary is less than
| (b) | Use of estimates |
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates include, but not limited to, allowance for credit loss, impairment provision for inventories, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, determination of the fair value of derivative instruments and derivative liability arising from foreign exchange forward contracts, accounting for deferred income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
| (c) | Foreign currencies and foreign currency translation |
The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“US$”). The Company’s operating subsidiaries in China, Europe and the United States use their respective currencies, Renminbi (“RMB”), Pound (“GBP”), Euro (“EUR”) and US$, as their functional currencies.
The financial statements of Planet Image and its subsidiaries, other than subsidiaries with functional currency of US$, are translated into US$ using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. The equity denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution.
Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income included in unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

| (d) | Accounts Receivable, net |
Accounts receivables are recognized in the period when the Group has sold products to its customers and when its right to consideration is unconditional. The Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement on Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, including certain subsequent amendments, transitional guidance and other interpretive guidance within ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 (collectively, including ASU 2016-13, “ASC 326”) on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition approach. ASC 326 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate the allowance for credit losses, which replaces the previous incurred loss impairment model. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Account receivables are stated net of provision of credit losses. The Group has developed a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model based on historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers. The Group considers historical collection rates, current financial status, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when evaluating for current expected credit losses.

Inventories primarily consist of raw materials, goods in transit, work in progress and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Cost of inventory is determined by using the weighted average cost method. The Group writes down the cost of obsolete and slow-moving inventories to the estimated net realizable value, based on inventory obsolescence trends, historical experience, forecasted consumer demand and application of the specific identification method.

| (f) | Revenue recognition |
The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) on January 1, 2019 and the Company’s revenue recognition policies are presented as below.
The Group’s revenues are mainly generated from the sales of compatible toner cartridges through offline and online channels. The Group provides products: (i) to offline overseas customers who own their brands on an ODM basis; (ii) to offline overseas dealers who primarily sell its self-branded products and white-label products to end consumers; and (iii) directly to customers on a retail basis under its self-owned brands through online retail platforms. There is no major difference in terms of product capability between the Company’s ODM products, white-label products, and self-own brand products, and the main difference lies in product packaging and pricing.
The Group usually enters into sales orders with customers or receives online sales orders, in which the Group identifies the only performance obligation is to transfer the promised products stated in the sales order. The Group performs shipping services before the products are delivered to the place designated by customers. Shipping service is determined as an activity to fulfill the Group’s promise to transfer the products, rather than another distinct performance obligation as it is performed before the customers obtain control of the products. In the normal course of business, the Group’s warranties are limited to product specifications, and the Company does not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. Accordingly, warranty costs are treated as a cost of fulfillment subject to accrual, rather than a performance obligation. The Company establishes provisions for both estimated returns and warranties when revenues are recognized.
Revenues represent the amount of consideration that the Group is entitled to, including products settlement price, net of value-added tax (“VAT”), surcharges, discounts and returns, if any. The transaction price is variable as adjusted by return allowances, rebates, which the Group estimates by using the expected value method and updates to represent faithfully the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and the changes in circumstances during the reporting period. The Group considers itself a principal as it self-produces all the products. The Group recognizes revenue from the sales of compatible toner cartridges at a point in time when the control of products is transferred to the customers upon customers’ acceptance on a gross basis. Payment is usually required within four months after the issuance of invoice for offline customers and the consideration of online orders is collected in advance of shipment by online platform. Therefore, it is probable that the Group will collect substantially all of the consideration without existence of any significant financing component.
Disaggregation of Revenues
The Group disaggregates its revenues from contracts by sales channel and region, as the Group believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Group’s disaggregation of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026 are disclosed in Note 18 of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract Balances
When either party to a revenue contract has performed, the Group presents the contract in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the Group’s performance and the customer’s payment. The Group merely incurs cost to obtain a contract with a customer. The Group presents any unconditional rights to consideration separately as a receivable. The Group does not have any contract assets. The balance of accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit loss were $
The Group presents the consideration that a customer pays before the Group transfers products to the customer as a contract liability (advances from customers) when the payment is made. Advances from customers is the Group’s obligation to transfer products to a customer for which the Group has received consideration from the customer. As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, the balance of advances from customers amounted to $
| (g) | Share-based Compensation |
The Group applies ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), to account for all of its share-based payments. In accordance with ASC 718, the Group determines whether an award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or equity award. All the Group’s grants of share-based awards without vesting conditions were classified as equity awards and are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair value.
| (h) | Concentration of risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, restricted cash and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, the aggregate amounts of cash and restricted cash of $
The Group’s exposure to credit risk associated with its trading and other activities is measured on an individual counterparty basis, as well as by groups of counterparties that share similar attributes.

The Company’s operating results could be adversely affected by government policies in the PRC on export business, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and changes in local market conditions. No customer individually represented more than 10% of the Group’s total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, approximately

| (i) | Recent accounting pronouncements |
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) which requires detailed disclosures in the notes to financial statements disaggregating specific expense categories and certain other disclosures to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Group does not expect to early adopt this guidance and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its future consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). The amendments in ASU 2025-05 provide entities with a practical expedient to simplify the estimation of expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) by allowing the assumption that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change during the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company for its annual reporting periods beginning July 1, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2025-05 will have on its future consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles -Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). The amendments modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and for interim reporting periods beginning in that fiscal year. The Group is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2025-06 will have on its future consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (“Topic 815”) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract (“ASU 2025-07”). ASU 2025-07 expands an existing scope exception under Topic 815 to exclude non-exchange-traded contracts where the underlying is based on the operations or activities specific to one of the contract parties. ASU 2025-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2025-07 will have on its future consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“Topic 326”): Purchased Loans (“ASU 2025-08”). The amendments expand the population of acquired loans subject to the gross-up approach, treating non-credit-deteriorated loans (excluding credit cards) as “seasoned” if purchased at least 90 days after origination or acquired in a business combination. ASU 2025-08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2025-08 will have on its future consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (“ASU 2025-10”). The amendments establish the accounting for a government grant received by a business entity, including guidance for (1) a grant related to an asset and (2) a grant related to income. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-10.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Improvements to Interim Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2025-11”). The amendments clarify disclosure requirements for interim financial statements. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2025-12”). ASU 2025-12 addresses suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the Accounting Standards Codification and makes other incremental improvements to U.S. GAAP. The update represents changes to the Codification that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are required to apply the amendments to ASC 260 retrospectively. All other amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-12.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

| 3. | DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES |
In 2025, the Group disposed ten in-direct subsidiaries (the “Disposed Subsidiaries”), all of which were engaged in providing products directly to customers on a retail basis under its self-owned brands through online retail platforms, as well as three trademark assignments related to the online retail business operations. On December 30, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company formally authorized the plan to dispose of the Disposed Subsidiaries and the related registered trademarks to a third party. Following this authorization, the Group executed definitive disposal agreements with the purchaser on December 31, 2025, to transfer
The sale of the Disposed Subsidiaries did not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Group’s operations or financial results, given its limited financial impact, in accordance with ASC 205-20-45-1A to 45-1C. Accordingly, the disposal was not presented as discontinued operations, and the results thereof were included in continuing operations for all periods presented.

Exhibit 99.2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in the Form 6-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Overview
Through its operating subsidiaries, Planet Image International Limited (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) is an export-oriented manufacturer and seller of compatible toner cartridges based in the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”), the United States of America (the “U.S.”) and Europe, with the mission to deliver high-quality and cost-effective printing solutions to consumers around the world with our proprietary technology, research and development capabilities and our integrated and localized sales, logistics and service platform.
Through the operating subsidiaries, we primarily develop and manufacture compatible toner cartridges that can be used for a wide range of commonly available models of laser printers from different manufacturers, on a white-label or third-party brand basis or under our self-owned brands. Through the operating subsidiaries, we have a wide international footprint through offline sales channels, and the operating subsidiaries’ products are mainly sold to customers in the U.S. and Germany. Customers of the operating subsidiaries primarily consist of wholesalers, dealers to retail customers. We believe that our integrated business model encompassing a value chain from research and development, patented technology, manufacturing, and operating localized sales branches, allows us to capture industry opportunities in a timely manner and provides us with stable growth potential. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, our revenue was primarily generated from our customers in North America, Europe and Asia.
Through the operating subsidiaries, we sell our products: (i) to offline overseas customers who own their brands on an Original Design Manufacturer (“ODM”) basis; and (ii) to offline overseas dealers who primarily resell white-label products and self-branded products to end consumers. There is no major difference in terms of product capability between the ODM products and white-label products offered by the operating subsidiaries, and the main difference lies in product packaging and pricing.
Our revenue decreased by US$5.2 million, or 7.0%, from US$74.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$69.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, we realized a net loss of US$8.0 million and US$1.0 million, respectively. This decrease in net loss was mainly due to (i) a decrease in share-based compensation expenses of US$8.6 million, which were recognized solely during the six months ended June 30, 2025, (ii) a decrease in selling expenses of US$2.9 million, mainly due to lower payroll expense, sales commissions and platform advertising fees; and (iii) an increase in other non-operating income of US$2.6 million mainly generated from warehouse leasing; offset by (i) a decrease in gross profit of US$4.4 million attributable to our disposal of the online business and a decrease in revenue from offline sales to dealers due to increased U.S. tariff and material costs, and (ii) a shift from a foreign exchange gain of US$1.8 million to a foreign exchange loss of US$1.8 million, mainly due to exchange rate fluctuations. Both our online business and offline sales to dealers historically generated relatively higher gross profit margins, and the decrease in revenue from these higher-margin businesses had a corresponding adverse impact on our gross profit.
Major Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Our business and results of operations are affected by a number of general factors that impact the compatible toner cartridge industry including, among others, economic, political and social conditions in the PRC, export regulations or enforcement, economic and regulatory conditions or global trade policy of the U.S., Europe, or Asia, changes in the business strategies of U.S. customers, European customers, or Asian customers, any increase in customer demand for our products, raw material costs, and the competitive environment. Unfavorable changes in any of these general factors could adversely affect demand for our products and materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
While our business is influenced by these general factors, our results of operations are more directly affected by the following company-specific factors.
Ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers
The compatible toner cartridge market is characterized by rapid technological development and continual introduction of new models. As a specialized manufacturer of toner cartridges, our future success depends largely on the number of customers using the operating subsidiaries’ products. To successfully maintain customer basis, we rely heavily on excellent product quality and functionality, and prompt responses to the latest developments in the compatible toner cartridge market. Some factors that may affect the ability of the operating subsidiaries to meet customer demands and to attract customers include: the ability to (i) develop or acquire the necessary technical know-hows to design and manufacture new products and to enhance or adapt existing products to respond to changes in printer technologies, market trends and customer demands; (ii) manage growth while maintaining the consistency of product quality, promote products to a broader base of prospective customers; and (iii) provide satisfactory customer support and after-sale services in a timely manner. We believe the operating subsidiaries’ strong design, research and development capabilities represent a key strength that allows us to provide patent-compliant products with advanced technologies to their customers.
Ability to manage inventories efficiently
Our inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods. For self-branded products and white-label products, the operating subsidiaries’ sales and marketing department, based on their understanding of historical sales and perceived market trends, formulates annual sales targets at the Company’s level and at the regional level. The operating subsidiaries manufacture their ODM products on a made-to-order basis. We believe that maintaining an appropriate level of inventories helps the operating subsidiaries deliver their products to meet the market demands in a timely manner. Meanwhile, it is critical to keep close observation on changing sales condition due to change in consumer demand or preferences, change of marketing strategy by customers or incorrect estimation of the market demand for products, as well as technological upgrades of printer which renders the operating subsidiaries’ toner cartridge not compatible with it anymore and exposes us to risks of obsolete inventories. Our research and development capabilities have been instrumental to the quality and time-to-market of the operating subsidiaries’ products, which are our key strengths.
Ability to establish higher prices for our products
Our results of operations are affected by the pricing of the operating subsidiaries’ products. The operating subsidiaries generally price their products on the basis of a cost-plus calculation of the costs involved in manufacturing, and with reference to the prevailing market prices. The operating subsidiaries are generally able to charge higher price for their products as a result of their localized operation and ancillary services provided to offline customers including drop ship service, private labeling and customized packing services. We believe that the quality and reliability of the operating subsidiaries’ products coupled with their localized customer services are vital in maintaining customer loyalty and upholding their reputation and higher price of products.
Ability to control production and material costs
Our cost of inventory sold mainly consists of the raw materials used in production of toner cartridges such as OPC drums, toner and chips which form a major part of our cost of sales. The operating subsidiaries source raw materials predominantly from PRC suppliers. The prices of the operating subsidiaries’ raw materials are largely dependent on market forces, such as fluctuations of commodity prices, market supply and demand, and logistics and transport costs. As their business further grows in scale and the operating subsidiaries establish themselves as a major player in the China compatible toner cartridges industry, the operating subsidiaries expect to have higher bargaining power and hence more favorable terms from suppliers, including pricing and payment terms.

Impact related to global economic factors
The military invasion of Ukraine by Russia, which commenced in February 2022 and has continued since, and the sanctions against Russia resulting from such conflict have resulted in supply chain interruptions and have impaired our ability to compete in certain markets, and could otherwise subject us to potential liability. In 2024, to mitigate potential adverse impacts on our business and operating results caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, we proactively reduced the scale of our sales in Russia and Ukraine. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, we did not generate any revenue from Russia or Eastern Europe. In addition, conflicts in the Middle East, particularly in the Iran region, have contributed to higher global oil prices due to risks of supply disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz. These developments have resulted in increased maritime insurance costs, route diversions, and delivery delays, thereby disrupting global supply chains and increasing logistics costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we did not generate any revenue from Iran or the surrounding region. Notwithstanding the foregoing disruptions, based on management’s assessment, the Company did not experience any material increase in logistics costs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, and the Company has not been materially affected by the Red Sea route diversions or the Strait of Hormuz disruptions. As of the date of this report, we do not believe that our business segments, products, lines of service, projects, or operations have been materially impacted by the foregoing global supply chain disruptions, however, we cannot guarantee that we will not be materially impacted by the economic uncertainty and volatility in the markets in the future, especially in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Global trade policies and tariffs
Our results of operations are subject to risks arising from global trade policies and tariff regimes that impact cross-border commerce. Because we manufacture compatible toner cartridges that are primarily sold into the U.S., European, and Asian markets, changes in trade relations, the imposition of new tariffs, or the modification of existing duties could directly affect our cost structure and pricing. For example, tariffs on finished goods could reduce the competitiveness of our products in key markets.
In addition, shifts in trade policy between the U.S., the European Union (the “EU”), Asian countries, and other jurisdictions may create uncertainty in demand, supply chain logistics, and customer purchasing behavior. Heightened trade restrictions or retaliatory measures could limit our ability to source materials efficiently or to serve customers on commercially favorable terms. Since 2018, the U.S. has imposed, and subsequently escalated, tariffs on a broad range of Chinese imports. Although certain temporary reductions in reciprocal tariff rates have been agreed upon from time to time as part of ongoing trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, a heightened tariff environment persists, and there is no assurance that such reduced tariff rates will be maintained, that further reductions will be achieved, or that additional tariffs or other trade restrictions will not be imposed with little or no warning. The additional tariffs imposed by the U.S. government on certain products imported from China may adversely impact our supply chain and cost structure.
Tensions between the U.S. and China have led to a series of tariffs being imposed by the U.S. on imports from mainland China, as well as other business restrictions. The rise in tariff costs has directly pushed up the import costs of our products when entering the U.S. market, which adversely impacted the gross margin that we earn on our products. Tariffs can also make our products more expensive for customers, which could make our products less competitive and reduce consumer demand. Our revenue generated from the U.S. market were US$42.5 million and US$28.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, representing 57.0% and 40.7% of our total revenues, respectively. We cannot guarantee that we will not be materially impacted by future changes in U.S. tariff rates or related trade policy uncertainties and market volatility, especially in light of potential adjustments to Sino-U.S. trade relations and tariff measures.
Although we continue to monitor developments in trade policy and evaluate alternative sales strategies, the ultimate impact of global trade policies and tariffs remains difficult to predict and could materially affect our sales volumes, margins, and overall financial performance.

According to the Tax (Amendment) (No. 3) Ordinance 2018 published by the Hong Kong government, effective April 1, 2018, under the two-tiered profits tax rates regime, the profits tax rate for the first HKD2 million of assessable profits has been lowered to 8.25% (half of the rate specified in Schedule 8 to the Inland Revenue Ordinance (“IRO”)) for corporations. We were not subject to Hong Kong profit tax for any period presented as we did not have assessable profits during the periods presented.

United States
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), which significantly changed previous U.S. tax laws, including a reduction of corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings.
Europe
Our subsidiaries that were incorporated in EU countries, such as the Netherlands, Italy, and France, are subject to enterprise income tax on the respective country’s taxable income as determined under the tax laws and accounting standards at rates ranging from 16.5% to 28%.
Mainland PRC
Generally, our Mainland PRC subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in China at a statutory rate of 25%, except for certain of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries that are qualified as high and new technology enterprises under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and are eligible for a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under Mainland PRC tax laws and accounting standards.
Our products are primarily subject to value-added tax at a rate of 13% on sales of compatible toner cartridges, in each case less any deductible value-added tax we have already paid or borne. We are also subject to surcharges on value-added tax payments in accordance with Mainland PRC law.
Dividends paid by our Mainland PRC subsidiaries in Mainland China to our Hong Kong subsidiaries will be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10%, unless the relevant Hong Kong entity satisfies all the requirements under the Double Taxation Avoidance Arrangement and receives approval from the relevant tax authority. If our Hong Kong subsidiaries satisfy all the requirements under the tax arrangement and receive approval from the relevant tax authority, then the dividends paid to the Hong Kong subsidiaries would be subject to withholding tax at the standard rate of 5%. Effective from November 1, 2015, the above-mentioned approval requirement has been abolished, but a Hong Kong entity is still required to file an application package with the relevant tax authority, and settle the overdue taxes if the preferential 5% tax rate is denied based on the subsequent review of the application package by the relevant tax authority.
If we or any of our subsidiaries outside of Mainland China were deemed to be a “resident enterprise” under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, such entity would be subject to enterprise income tax on its worldwide income at a rate of 25%.
Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and the Notice on Improvements to Policies of Weighted Pre-tax Deduction of Research and Development Expenses, research and development expenses incurred by an enterprise in the course of carrying out research and development activities that have not formed intangible assets and are included in the profit and loss account for the current year are eligible for additional pre-tax deduction. Starting from January 1, 2021, besides deducting the actual amount of research and development expenses incurred, an enterprise is allowed an additional 100% deduction of such amount in calculating its taxable income for the relevant year, the rate of which was 75% before 2021. For research and development expenses that have formed intangible assets, the tax amortization is based on 200% of the costs of the intangible assets.
In accordance with the implementation rules of the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), a qualified “High and New Technology Enterprise” (“HNTE”) is eligible for a preferential tax rate of 15%. The HNTE certificate is effective for a period of three years, and an entity may re-apply for the HNTE certificate upon expiration of the prior certificate. Jiangxi Yibo E-Tech Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, has been recognized as an HNTE and renewed its HNTE certificate in 2025, which will expire on October 29, 2028. Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, Jiangxi Yibo E-Tech Co., Ltd. was eligible to enjoy a preferential tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2026
Net revenue
Comparison by Sales Channel
For our offline sales to dealers, we mainly sell white-label products and self-branded products through our offline channels. Our revenue from offline sales to dealers decreased by 43.7%, from US$39.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$22.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, mainly due to a decrease in market demand resulting from the imposition of higher U.S. tariffs.
For our direct offline sales to ODM customers, our revenue increased by 68.8%, from US$27.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$46.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which was primarily driven by a significant surge in order volumes resulting from our strategy of offering flexible packaging and pricing options to meet diverse customer requirements.
For our online sales, we mainly sell self-branded and household products through the Online Selling Platforms. Our revenue generated from online sales decreased by 96.2%, from US$7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, mainly due to the completion of our disposal of the online business in December 2025. Following the disposal, we operated only one remaining online store as of June 30, 2026, which conducted clearance sales during the period. We expect to complete the clearance of its remaining inventory by September 2026, after which its operations will cease entirely.
Comparison by Area
Our revenue generated from North America decreased by 28.7%, from US$45.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$32.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, due to a decrease in market demand resulting from the imposition of higher U.S. tariffs.
Our revenue generated from Europe increased by 23.5%, from US$22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$27.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily attributable to increased sales volumes resulting from our continuous market expansion efforts in the English and Dutch markets.
Our revenue generated from Asia increased by US$3.1 million, or 53.5%, from US$5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to our market expansion in China.
Our revenue generated from others decreased by US$0.6 million, or 44.2%, from US$1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, mainly due to a market downturn in Brazil.
Cost of revenue
Our cost of revenue decreased from US$50.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$49.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily attributable to a US$6.7 million decrease in freight charges and U.S. tariffs due to the decreased sales volume of offline sales to dealers, which was offset by an increase in material costs of US$5.8 million driven by rising prices of raw materials, especially semiconductors and chips.
Gross profit and gross profit margin
Gross profit of offline sales to dealers decreased by 43.6%, from US$12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 with a relatively stable gross profit margin of around 30.7%, which was consistent with the decrease in sales revenue of offline sales to dealers.
8
Gross profit of offline sales to ODM customers increased by 73.8%, from US$7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which was primarily driven by a significant surge in order volumes resulting from our strategy of offering flexible packaging and pricing options to meet diverse customer requirements. The gross profit margin increased from 26.2% to 27.0%, mainly due to more sales of new products with higher profit margin.
Gross profit of online sales to retail customers decreased by 96.6%, from US$4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to the completion of our disposal of the online business in December 2025. Following the disposal, we operated only one remaining online store as of June 30, 2026, which conducted clearance sales during the period. We expect to complete the clearance of its remaining inventory by September 2026, after which its operations will cease entirely.
Selling expenses
Our selling expenses decreased from US$18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily driven by (i) a decrease of US$1.7 million in payroll expense due to our control over employee compensation and (ii) a decrease of US$0.9 million in sales commissions and a decrease of US$0.7 million in platform advertising fees, consistent with the decrease in revenue from online business, partially offset by an increase in rent of US$0.5 million due to rising rental rates and an additional warehouse leased in the U.S.
General and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses decreased by US$5.1 million, from US$8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, mainly due to (i) a decrease in share-based compensation expenses of US$4.1 million for shares granted to employees during the six months ended June 30, 2025; (ii) a decrease in professional fees of US$0.4 million resulting from lower audit and legal fees; and (iii) a decrease in credit losses of US$0.4 million due to the recovery of long-aged receivables.
Research and development expenses
Our research and development expenses decreased from US$7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in share-based compensation expenses of US$4.5 million for shares granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Other income
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, we recorded other income of US$2.7 million and US$1.5 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) a swing of US$3.6 million from a foreign exchange gain of US$1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to a foreign exchange loss of US$1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 due to fluctuations in exchange rates; and (ii) a decrease of US$0.2 million in government subsidies, which was partially offset by (iii) an increase in other non-operating income of US$2.6 million resulting from increased income from warehouse services.
Income tax expenses
Our income tax expenses increased from US$0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to an increase in taxable income resulting from reduced utilization of tax loss carryforwards as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Net loss
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded net loss of US$8.0 million and US$1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026, we had US$24.8 million in cash and restricted cash, which consisted of (i) cash in mainland China of US$14.9 million; (ii) cash in the BVI of US$5.1 million; (iii) cash in the Cayman Islands of US$2.7 million; (iv) cash in Europe of US$1.2 million; (v) cash in the U.S. of US$0.5 million; and (vi) cash in the UK of US$0.4 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had US$54.0 million in cash and restricted cash, which consisted of (i) cash in mainland China of US$31.7 million; (ii) cash in the BVI of US$14.4 million; (iii) cash in the Cayman Islands of US$2.8 million; (iv) cash in the U.S. of US$1.5 million; (v) cash in Hong Kong of US$1.5 million; (vi) cash in Europe of US$1.4 million; and (vii) cash in the UK of US$0.6 million. Under the existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments, and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC by complying with certain procedural requirements. Therefore, there is no material restriction on foreign exchange that impairs our ability to transfer cash between entities, including to U.S. investors.
Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, was US$4.5 million and US$19.8 million, respectively. Our principal sources of cash were our income from operations and bank loans. Most of our cash resources were used to pay for the procurement of raw materials, purchase of equipment and property, and payroll and rental expenses. We believe that our current cash and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditures and debt repayment obligations for at least the next 12 months.

Operating activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our net cash used in operating activities was US$19.8 million, which was primarily attributable to (i) a net loss of US$1.0 million; (ii) an add-back adjustment for non-cash items of a net amount of US$0.9 million, inclusive of provision for inventory reserve, amortization and depreciation, and other non-cash items; and (iii) changes in working capital that negatively affected the cash flow from operating activities, primarily including (a) a decrease in accounts payable of US$7.5 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of US$4.0 million, which was slightly offset by a decrease in inventory of US$1.1 million, primarily for materials procurement in advance, especially for semiconductors and chips so as to secure operational resources for future production under strained market capacity; (b) an increase of US$2.7 million in accounts receivable, mainly due to lower collections resulting from longer payment terms extended as preferential terms to our customers; (c) a decrease of US$5.2 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, mainly due to the decrease in freight charges and tariffs associated with lower overseas inventory levels resulting from the decrease in offline sales to dealers; and (d) a decrease in operating lease liabilities of US$1.1 million for rental payments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our net cash used in operating activities was US$4.5 million, which was primarily attributable to (i) a net loss of US$8.0 million; (ii) an add-back adjustment for non-cash items of a net amount of US$11.6 million, inclusive of share-based compensation, provision for inventory reserve, amortization and depreciation, and other non-cash items; and (iii) changes in working capital that negatively affected the cash flow from operating activities, primarily including (a) an increase of US$5.5 million in accounts receivable, primarily due to the increased sales volume from offline ODM customers, which were subject to longer payment terms; (b) a decrease of US$3.4 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, mainly due to the decrease in payroll payable; and (c) a decrease of US$7.5 million in accounts payable and notes payable, mainly due to the decline in procurement volume; and mainly offset by (iv) changes in working capital that positively affected the cash flow from operating activities, primarily including (a) a decrease in inventories of US$5.4 million resulting from the lower procurement volume compared to the year-end peak sales season and the increased sales volume from offline ODM customers with lower inventory requirements, and (b) a decrease of US$3.0 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, mainly due to lower advance payments to vendors and a decrease in prepaid expenses.
Investing activities

Capital expenditures
Our capital expenditures are incurred primarily in connection with the purchase of molds for production, upgrades of production equipment, purchases of motor vehicles and electronic and other equipment for office use, and office renovations. Our capital expenditures were US$0.4 million and US$0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, respectively. We will continue to make capital expenditures to support the expected growth of our business.

Capital commitments relate to the purchase of property and equipment, including leasehold improvements. Operating lease obligations consist of leases in relation to certain offices and buildings, plants and other property for our sales and after-sales network.
Other than those shown above, we did not have any significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations, or guarantees as of June 30, 2026.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financial guarantees or other off-balance sheet commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.
Trend Information
Other than as disclosed below and elsewhere in this report on Form 6-K, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments, or events for the period from January 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026 that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our net revenue, income, profitability, liquidity, or capital resources, or that caused the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial condition.
Critical Accounting Estimates
An accounting policy is considered critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time such estimate is made, and if different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates.
The following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included in this report. When reviewing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, you should consider (i) our selection of critical accounting policies; (ii) the judgments and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies; and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant accounting estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, impairment provision for inventories, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, determination of the fair value of derivative instruments and derivative liabilities arising from foreign exchange forward contracts, accounting for deferred income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
12
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable are recognized in the period when we have provided services to our customers and when our right to consideration is unconditional. We adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement on Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, including certain subsequent amendments, transitional guidance and other interpretive guidance within ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 (collectively, including ASU 2016-13, “ASC 326”) on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition approach. ASC 326 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate the allowance for credit losses, which replaces the previously incurred loss impairment model. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounts receivable are stated net of provision for credit losses. We have developed a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model based on historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. We consider historical collection rates, current financial status, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when evaluating current expected credit losses.
Inventories, net
Inventories, primarily consisting of raw materials, goods in transit, work in progress and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method. We write down the cost of obsolete and slow-moving inventories to the estimated net realizable value, based on inventory obsolescence trends, historical experience, forecasted consumer demand and application of the specific identification method.
Revenue recognition
Our revenues are mainly generated from the sales of compatible toner cartridges through offline and online channels. We provide products: (i) to offline overseas customers who own their brands on an ODM basis; (ii) to offline overseas dealers who primarily sell our self-branded products and white-label products to end consumers; and (iii) directly to customers on a retail basis under our self-owned brands through online retail platforms. There is no major difference in terms of product capability between our ODM products, white-label products and self-owned brand products, and the main difference lies in product packaging and pricing.
We usually enter into sales orders with customers or receive online sales orders, in which we identify the only performance obligation is to transfer the promised products stated in the sales order. We perform shipping services before the products are delivered at the designated place. Shipping service is determined as an activity to fulfill our promise to transfer the products, rather than another distinct performance obligation as it is performed before the customers obtain control of the products. In the normal course of business, our warranties are limited to product specifications, and we do not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. Accordingly, warranty costs are treated as a cost of fulfillment subject to accrual, rather than a performance obligation. We establish provisions for both estimated returns and warranties when revenue is recognized.
13
Revenues represent the amount of consideration to which we are entitled, including product settlement price, net of value-added tax (“VAT”), surcharges, discounts and returns, if any. The transaction price is variable, adjusted by return allowances and rebates, which we estimate using the expected value method and update to faithfully represent the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and the changes in circumstances during the reporting period. We consider ourselves a principal as we self-produce all the products. We recognize revenue from the sales of compatible toner cartridges at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customers upon customers’ acceptance on a gross basis. Payment is usually required within four months after the issuance of an invoice for offline customers, and the consideration for online orders is collected in advance of shipment by the online platform. Therefore, it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration without the existence of any significant financing component.
Disaggregation of Revenue
We disaggregate our revenue from contracts by sales channel and region, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Our disaggregation of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026 are disclosed in Note 18 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Contract balance
When either party to a revenue contract has performed, we present the contract in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between our performance and the customer’s payment. We merely incur cost to obtain a contract with a customer. We present any unconditional rights to consideration separately as a receivable. We do not have any contract asset.
We present the consideration that a customer pays before we transfer products to the customer as a contract liability (advance from customers) when the payment is made. Advance from customers is our obligation to transfer products to a customer for which we have received consideration from the customer.
Recent accounting pronouncements
A list of recently issued accounting pronouncements that are relevant to us is included in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
We are an emerging growth company (“EGC”) as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act provides that an EGC can take advantage of extended transition periods for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an EGC to delay adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition periods, which may result in our financial statements not being comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates. However, this election will not apply should we cease to be classified as an EGC.
