Analysis
HomesToLife reported 1H 2026 net revenue of $ 198,305,106, up 10 % from $ 180,774,803 in 1H 2025. Export revenue rose 11 % to $ 186,293,352 and retail revenue increased 57 % to $ 5,313,821, while Leather Trading revenue declined (29 %) to $ 6,697,933. Regionally, North America grew 27 % and Europe grew 12 %, whereas Asia Pacific declined (4 %). The Company attributed overall revenue growth to a US$18.3 million increase in export sales and retail growth to store expansion and higher South Korea retail sales.
Gross profit increased 14 % to $ 56,993,678, and gross profit margin expanded to 28.7 % from 27.6 %, a 1.1 pp increase. The Company attributed the improvement to a favorable sales mix and better sales performance in Europe and North America. Total operating expenses increased 16 % to (47,295,280 ), including a 19 % increase in sales and distribution expenses to (36,967,422 ). It cited higher selling expenses associated with larger sales volumes as well as increased freight and logistics costs. Income from operations nevertheless increased 7 % to $ 9,698,398.
Reported earnings weakened below operating income because foreign exchange moved from a net gain of 4,293,633 in 1H 2025 to a net loss of (2,168,357 ) in 1H 2026. Net income declined 39 % to $ 6,067,538 and basic and diluted earnings per share declined to $ 0.07 from $ 0.11. The Company stated that excluding foreign exchange gain (loss), net income would have increased 22% from US$6.5 million to US$7.9 million. This foreign-exchange swing is the principal reported-period earnings headwind.
Operating cash outflow improved to (8,266,135 ) from (11,241,457 ). Cash and cash equivalents were $ 17,941,401 at June 30, 2026, following US$5.8 million in dividend payments, while short-term borrowings fell to $ 7,263,986 from $ 10,389,094 at December 31, 2025. The Company reported net current assets of US$18.3 million. For FY2026, it expects stable sales growth and maintained its earlier full-year revenue guidance of US$400 million to US$420 million.
The release frames the second half around sustaining export-led growth, enhancing operational efficiency, prudent cost management and working-capital optimization. Key reported risks are foreign exchange movements, logistics costs, raw material prices and macroeconomic and geopolitical developments. The proposed secondary listing on the Main Board of the SGX-ST remains subject to regulatory review, approval and other applicable listing requirements.
