Outlook

• Revenue for the fiscal 2027 third quarter is expected to be approximately $49 million-$51 million, an increase of approximately 17-22 percent from the same quarter last year.
• Gross margin for the fiscal 2027 third quarter is expected to be approximately 16-17 percent, taking into account of increased transportation costs for raw material imports.

"We delivered a strong quarter of performance, achieving meaningful growth in both revenue and profitability," said Sam Choi, Jerash's chief executive officer. "Over the past several months, we have navigated logistics challenges across the Middle East, including higher import transportation costs driven by regional shipping disruptions and ongoing uncertainty. Despite these headwinds, we expanded margins through strategic early purchases of raw materials, disciplined cost controls, reduced waste, and enhanced operational efficiencies through automation initiatives.

"The Company's results underscore the strength and resilience of our Jordan-based manufacturing platform, which provides benefits from duty free and preferential tariff treatment for qualifying apparel and textile exports to key markets, including the United States, Europe and others. Our ability to maintain reliable execution and on-time delivery in a challenging operating environment continues to be a significant competitive advantage for our company and our customers.

"Our production facilities are fully booked through June 2027, and order in-flow remains strong. To support continued growth and capitalize on new business opportunities, we are actively seeking ways to expand capacity. Renovations at our most recently acquired facility, along with the construction of a third satellite factory supported by the Jordanian government, are expected to be completed by September 2027. Together, these projects are anticipated to increase our production capacity by approximately 15-20 percent, positioning us to meet growing customer demand and support Jerash's long-term growth objectives," Choi added.

Fiscal 2027 Second Quarter Results

Revenue for the fiscal 2027 second quarter increased 19.8 percent to $50.3 million, from $42.0 million in the same quarter last year. The increase primarily reflected higher shipments to our largest U.S. customer and others whose orders were primarily for the U.S.

Gross profit increased 45.4 percent to $9.1 million in the fiscal 2027 second quarter, from $6.3 million in the same quarter last year. Gross profit margin increased 320 basis points to 18.2 percent, from 15.0 percent in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher shipment volumes to U.S. customers that typically generate stronger margins, automation-related efficiency gains, advance purchases of raw materials earlier in the second quarter, and tighter controls on wastage allowances.

Operating expenses totaled $6.1 million in the fiscal 2027 second quarter, compared with $5.2 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volume, as well as increased headcount and related expenses.

Total other expenses were $506,000 in the fiscal 2027 second quarter, compared with $456,000 in the same quarter last year.

The effective tax rate declined to 15.7 percent for the fiscal 2027 second quarter, from 24.3 percent in the same period last year.
