Ms. Joyce Lee, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Fitness Champs, commented, "During the first half of fiscal year 2025, we delivered stable revenue performance while making deliberate investments to support our next phase of growth. We continued to see resilient demand for our core swimming programs, recording a revenue of S$2.16 million and securing a solid gross profit margin of 28.86% despite rising labor costs. In addition, we are on track with our strategic global expansion, allocating capital to strengthen our organizational capabilities, enhance brand positioning, and lay the groundwork for our planned international expansion into Dubai in 2026. At the same time, we remain focused on disciplined cost management and operational efficiency to navigate near-term margin pressures stemming from higher coaches' compensation and strategic marketing initiatives. With a strengthened balance sheet following recent financing activities, we believe we are well positioned to execute our expansion strategy while continuing to deliver high-quality aquatic education services in Singapore. Looking ahead, we believe in our long-term growth prospects and are committed to creating sustainable value for our students, partners, and shareholders."
First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2025 Unaudited Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues were S$2.16 million (US$1.64 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 2.9% from S$2.23 million for the same period last year. The decline was primarily attributable to a 2.9% decrease in swim fees, which fell from approximately $2.22 million in the prior-year period to approximately $2.16 million in the current period. The reduction in swim fees was mainly due to lower enrollment levels during the period.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue was S$1.54 million (US$1.17 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 6.1% from S$1.45 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the revision of coaches' fees effective January 1, 2025, which resulted in higher compensation costs when compared to the prior-year period. Our cost of revenue mainly comprises coaches' fees (including salaries and benefits), entrance fees, merchandise costs, and assessment fees associated with the swim lessons delivered during the period.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was S$0.62 million (US$0.47 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to S$0.78 million for the same period last year.
Gross profit margin was 28.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 34.86% for the same period last year.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were S$0.97 million (US$0.73) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to S$0.60 million for the same period last year.
| ● | Selling and distribution expenses were S$0.21 million (US$0.16 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to S$0.04 million for the same period last year. The substantial portion of the increase in marketing expenses, approximately $0.07 million, was spent on professional services. These services supported several strategic initiatives aligned with the Company's planned expansion into Dubai, which is targeted to commence on January 1, 2026. In addition, the Company invested approximately $0.03 million in rebranding efforts as part of the broader expansion strategy. The Company also allocated around $0.02 million for advertising campaigns with Google and Meta during the first half of 2025. These digital campaigns aimed at increasing brand awareness and driving engagement, with the goal of building a stronger online presence ahead of the Dubai expansion. The remaining marketing expenditure was mainly related to broader brand-building and promotional activities to support enrollment growth. |
| ● | General and administrative expenses were S$0.76 million (US$0.58 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 35.7% from S$0.56 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher employee compensation, which rose by approximately $0.20 million, or 45.8%, due to the salary revision effective January 1, 2025 and bonus payments made on June 30, 2025. | |
Net Income (Loss)
Net loss was S$0.25 million (US$0.19 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income of S$0.18 million for the same period last year, which is primarily attributed to the lower Revenues and higher Operating Expenses.
