According to Ispire Technology Inc., the company reported financial results for Q2 of fiscal 2026 (three months ended Dec. 31, 2025). Revenue was $20.3 million, down from $41.8 million in the prior-year quarter, which the company attributed to a strategic shift away from lower-quality cannabis customers.

 

Gross profit totaled $3.5 million versus $7.7 million a year ago, with gross margin at 17.1% compared with 18.5% in Q2 FY2025. Ispire said the margin decline was driven primarily by product-mix changes, with fewer higher-margin products sold during the quarter.

 

Operating expenses were $10.3 million, down from $15.1 million in the year-ago period. Net loss narrowed to $6.6 million (loss of $0.12 per share) from $8.0 million (loss of $0.14 per share).

 

Ispire said its collections focus reduced net accounts receivable by 19.5% to $37.9 million at Dec. 31, 2025, compared with $47.0 million at June 30, 2025. The company reported $17.6 million in cash and $3.5 million in working capital at quarter-end.

 

Management also pointed to ongoing initiatives, including the ramp-up of manufacturing capabilities in Malaysia, discussions with nicotine manufacturers to evaluate its proprietary G-Mesh technology, and IKE Tech’s work with regulators in Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East to support broader adoption of age-gating technology.
