First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

 

Revenue

 

Total revenue was $7.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, which decreased by 52.0% from $15.6 million for the same period of last year.

 

The following table sets forth revenue by interconnect products:

 

   For the Six Months Ended September 30,   Change 
($ millions)  2023   %   2022   %   Amount   % 
Cables and wire harnesses   6.9    91.8%   14.5    93.0%   (7.6)   (52.6)%
Connectors   0.6    8.2%   1.1    7.0%   (0.5)   (43.5)%
Total   7.5    100.0%   15.6    100.0%   (8.1)   (52.0)%

 

 

 

 

Revenue generated from cables and wire harnesses decreased by 52.6%, to $6.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $14.5 million for the same period of last year. Revenue generated from connectors decreased by 43.5%, to $0.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $1.1 million for the same period of last year.

 

The decrease in our revenue was primarily attributable to the decrease in sales volume. We experienced a contraction in demand, primarily because a number of our customers had purchased our products in advance in fiscal year 2022 and the first half of fiscal year 2023 in anticipation of higher supply chain costs. Customers also preferred reduced inventory, due to uncertainties about macroeconomic conditions.

 

The following table sets forth the disaggregation of revenue by regions:

 

   For the Six Months Ended September 30,   Change 
($ millions)  2023   %   2022   %   Amount   % 
Europe   4.3    57.8%   9.8    62.8%   (5.5)   (55.8)%
Asia   2.4    31.8%   4.7    29.8%   (2.3)   (48.7)%
Americas   0.8    10.4%   1.2    7.4%   (0.4)   (32.9)%
Total   7.5    100.0%   15.6    100.0%   (8.1)   (52.0)%

 

Revenue generated from Europe decreased by 55.8%, to $4.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $9.8 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of sales in Denmark, Hungary and Finland.

 

Revenue generated from Asia decreased by 48.7%, to $2.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $4.7 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily due to sales decreases in China of $1.5 million, and sales decreases in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, of $0.8 million.

  

Revenue generated from the Americas decreased by 32.9%, to $0.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $1.2 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily due to sales decreases in Northern America of $0.4 million.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue decreased by 48.7%, to $5.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $10.2 million for the same period of last year, which was in line with the decrease of the total revenue.

 

Inventory costs amounted to $3.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $7.9 million for the same period of last year. The decrease of inventory costs was primarily due to a 51.5% decrease in the total sales volume and an 8.5% decrease in the inventory cost per unit.

 

Labor costs amounted to $1.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1.7 million for the same period of last year. The decrease of labor costs was primarily due to the reduction in the number of our manufacturing employees.

Operating Expenses
