FAQ

Why Bullish?

Despite the net loss, revenue growth and gross profit are positive indicators. Historically, companies showing early growth during public listings often experience stock appreciation when revenue is on an upward trend.

How important is it?

The earnings report reveals both progress and challenges, and while losses are concerning, overall growth indicators and strategic directions suggest a moderately positive outlook.

Why Long Term?

ETS's focus on expanding its fleet and diversifying its client base suggests potential for sustained growth. Companies that invest in scalability and operational efficiency tend to benefit in the long run, especially in growing sectors like e-commerce.

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Oct. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elite Express Holding Inc. (“ETS” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq CM: ETS), a California-based provider of last-mile delivery services, today reported results for the quarter ended August 31, 2025. For the quarter ended August 31, 2025, the Company reported revenue of $633,865 from its business, representing a 7.4% increase compared with the same period in 2024. The Company reported a net loss of $185,881, representing a 142.9% decrease compared with the net loss of $76,526 for the same period in 2024. Yidan Chen, ETS’s CEO commented, “Our third quarter marks our first earnings release since becoming a publicly listed company in August 2025. We delivered a 7.4% year-over-year revenue growth and achieved our first quarterly gross profit, reflecting the strength of our operations and our disciplined focus on operational efficiency. “Although we incurred higher compliance and governance expenses, these investments are essential to building a strong foundation as a newly public company. Looking ahead, we are focused on expanding our fleet, leveraging technology to scale operations, and diversifying beyond our sole customer, FedEx, to capture new growth opportunities. With e-commerce demand continuing to rise, we believe ETS is well positioned to deliver sustainable long-term value for our shareholders.” Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results For the three months ended August 31, 2025, the Company reported revenue of $633,865, representing an increase of $43,490, or 7.4%, compared with $590,375 for the three months ended August 31, 2024. Activity-based revenue accounted for $477,705, or 75.4% of total revenue, during the three months ended August 31, 2025, compared with $414,445, or 70.2% of total revenue, for the same period in the prior year. This increase primarily reflected our continued emphasis on operational throughput under the FedEx ISP structure. In contrast, fixed revenue, including weekly service charges and branding-related revenue, declined from $175,797 to $155,644, a decrease of $20,153, or 11.5%, primarily due to a reduction in baseline weekly compensation. The Company also reported cost of revenue of $627,048 for the three months ended August 31, 2025, compared with $620,164, for the three months ended August 31, 2024. The slight increase is primarily due to higher labor costs, partially offset by lower fuel prices and maintenance and repair fees. For the three months ended August 31, 2025, we recorded our first gross profit of $6,817, compared with a gross loss of $29,789, for the three months ended August 31, 2024. The increase of $36,606 was primarily driven by increased revenue. General and administrative expenses for the Company increased by $112,320, or 285.9%, to $151,600 for the three months ended August 31, 2025, from $39,280 for the three months ended August 31, 2024. The increase was mainly due to (i) $53,449 in legal and accounting fees, primarily related to audit services, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance related to our status as a public company; (ii) $76,853 in payroll expenses associated with personnel supporting corporate governance, internal controls, and administrative operations that were not incurred in the comparable period in the previous year. The Company reported a net loss of $185,881 for the three months ended August 31, 2025, compared with a net loss of $76,526 for the same period of 2024. Nine Months 2025 Financial Results For the nine months ended August 31, 2025, the Company reported revenue of $1,956,258, representing an increase of $141,943, or 7.8%, compared with $1,814,315 for the nine months ended August 31, 2024. The increases were primarily attributable to higher volume-based activity revenue, particularly from e-commerce deliveries, which offset the decline in fixed weekly service fees. For the nine months ended August 31, 2025, the total cost of revenues increased to $1,963,846 from $1,828,794 for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of $135,052, or 7.4%, primarily due to higher labor and service costs. General and administrative expenses for the Company increased by $468,682, or 432.8%, to $576,981 for the nine months ended August 31, 2025 from $108,299 for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, primarily due to (i) $314,655 in legal and accounting fees, primarily related to audit services, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance related to the JAR acquisition; (ii) $228,542 in payroll expenses associated with personnel supporting corporate governance, internal controls, and administrative operations that were not incurred in the comparable period in the previous year. Other categories, such as systems support and general office expenses, remained stable relative to the current operational scope. The Company had a net loss of $498,484 for the nine months ended August 31, 2025, compared with a net loss of $144,521 for the same period of 2024.
