Homestolife Ltd Delivers 87% Increase In 1H 2025 Net Income To US$10.0 Million

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Export growth and geographical expansion drive strong first-half performance

SINGAPORE, Sept. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HomesToLife Ltd (Nasdaq: HTLM) (“HomesToLife” or the“Company”), a Singapore-based home furniture company with sales across Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (“1H 2025”).

“Strong export sales and favourable foreign exchange gains underpinned a 87% increase in net income to $10.0 million,” said Ms. Phua Mei Ming, Chief Executive Officer of HomesToLife.“Our capital-efficient model delivered a strong 61%¹ return on equity in 1H 2025, underscoring the benefits of consolidating all trading and marketing under one group and positioning us for sustained growth in our core B2B furniture business across key international markets.”

“While we are mindful of recent U.S. policy remarks regarding furniture imports, our direct sales exposure to the U.S. remains modest at 7.7% of 1H 2025 revenue, and we are confident that our diversified export base across Europe and Asia-Pacific will continue to drive long-term growth,” Ms. Phua Mei Ming added.

The Company reported net revenue of $180.8 million in 1H 2025, a 16% increase from revenue of $156.3 million in the same period last year, driven by export sales across Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America.

Newly acquired retail operations in Korea, which began in November 2024, contributed $1.5 million in revenue during the period. Singapore and Korea retail stores continue to serve as brand showrooms and design testbeds, providing consumer insights to support HomesToLife's B2B and B2C product roadmap.

Export sales continued to be the cornerstone of performance, supported by strong demand in Europe (+16%) and North America (+16%), and steady growth in Asia-Pacific (+3%). The leather trading division also posted a 55% revenue increase as it plays a critical supporting role in ensuring raw material availability and pricing stability for the HomesToLife's business.

Gross profit rose 19% to $49.8 million, compared to $41.9 million in 1H 2024 pro forma results in line with the higher revenue. Gross margin remained stable at 27.6% in 1H 2025 compared to 26.8% in 1H 2024.

In 1H 2025, total operating expenses rose 18 % year-over-year to $40.8 million, driven by a 19% increase in selling expenses to $31.0 million. The $4.9 million increase in selling and distribution costs reflects several factors. A key contributor was the disruption in the Suez Canal, which pushed freight rates up 39 % and added US$2.4 million in ocean-shipping costs; these were partially offset by price increases passed on to customers. Additional pressures came from a $1.2 million increase in warranty provisions, a $0.4 million rise in commission expenses, and $0.8 million in start-up costs related to the acquisition of retail operations in South Korea.

General and administrative expenses rose 13% to $9.0 million, which included $0.1 million from the new Korea operations and wage adjustments across HomesToLife and its subsidiaries. HomesToLife also incurred $0.6 million in listing-maintenance expenses in 1H 2025, following its successful Nasdaq listing on October 1, 2024.

These expenses were partially offset by foreign exchange gains of $4.3 million, up from $0.5 million in the same period last year. The increase was mainly driven by favourable movements in accounts receivable denominated in GBP and EUR, which appreciated against the USD between December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025, as well as accounts payable denominated in CNH, which depreciated against the USD over the period from January 1 to June 30, 2025.

Net income for the period rose 87% to $10.0 million, compared to a pro forma net profit of $5.4 million in 1H 2024, translating to earnings per share of $0.11, up from $0.06 per share.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company remained in a healthy financial position, with $20.0 million in cash and bank balances. Borrowings stood at $23.3 million, primarily due to short-term trade financing facilities to support higher working capital needs from export volume growth.

Net cash used in operating activities was $11.2 million in 1H 2025, largely due to working capital movements. This included a $17.3 million increase in payment to accounts payable, primarily related to growing export volumes. Inventories rose by $2.4 million, mainly from sales under DDU/CIF terms, which increased goods in transit by $2.2 million, and from the start-up of retail operations in Korea. Accounts receivable increased by $4.7 million, in line with the 16% revenue growth.

The Company continues to actively manage its export sales cash conversion cycle, which improved to 78 days from 83 days a year ago. Management expects working capital efficiency to normalize in the six months ending December 31, 2025, supported by stronger seasonal collections and tighter inventory management.

Outlook

The Company anticipates total revenue for FY2025 to range between $340 million and $375 million.

The upper end of this range reflects expectations of a seasonally stronger second half of 2025 compared to 1H 2025 as well as continued momentum in export markets. The lower end takes into account potential headwinds from recently announced U.S. policy statements concerning furniture imports.

The Company plans to continue to maintain a robust liquidity position, ensuring financial flexibility to support its strategic growth initiatives while meeting short-term operational and financing obligations.
