Jerash Holdings (JRSH) 10K Annual Reports & 10Q SEC Filings

FAIRFIELD, N.J., June 27, 2023 – Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (NASDAQ: JRSH) (the “Company” or “Jerash”), which manufactures and exports custom, ready-made, sportswear and outerwear for leading global brands, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2023 fourth quarter and full year, ended March 31, 2023.

Fiscal 2023 Fourth Quarter Results

Fiscal 2023 fourth quarter revenue was $23.8 million, down 23.2 percent from $30.9 million in the same period last year, primarily due to lower sales from two major U.S. customers. Revenue also was negatively impacted by approximately $3 million of orders, with shipments being deferred by customers to the fiscal 2024 first quarter.

Gross profit was $2.5 million for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, compared with $4.7 million in the same quarter last year. Gross margin for the most recent fourth quarter decreased to 10.3 percent, from 15.1 percent in the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by a lower proportion of U.S. orders and a product mix shift.

Operating expenses totaled $4.3 million in the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, compared with $4.6 million in the same period last year. The slight decrease was due to smaller stock-based compensation expenses in fiscal 2023.

Operating loss was $1.8 million for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, compared with operating income of $126,000 for the same period last year.

Total other expenses were $86,000 in the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, compared with total other income of $148,000 in the last year’s fourth quarter. Interest expenses were $268,000 in the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, compared with $63,000 for the same quarter last year.

Income tax expenses for fiscal 2023 fourth quarter were $68,000, compared with $405,000 in the same period last year.

Net loss was $2.0 million, or $0.16 per share, for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, compared with a net loss of $131,000, or $0.01 per share, in the same period last year.

“Revenue and gross margin for the 2023 fourth quarter continued to be impacted by fewer orders from our two major U.S. customers, as well as a shift in product mix to lower margin items. We also are comparing against a particularly strong revenue quarter a year ago,” said Sam Choi, Jerash’s chairman and chief executive officer. “The retail sector continues to face a weak economic environment, as consumers are limiting their spending on higher priced items.

“On the positive front, our joint venture with Busana Apparel Group is progressing well. Initial feedback from Busana’s global branded customers indicate their keen interest in geographically diversifying production to Jordan from Asia, in part, to take advantage of duty-free agreements with the U.S. and other countries. We anticipate production as part of the joint venture to start in the second half of the current fiscal year.

“We are continuing to focus on our initiative to diversify our customer base, through our own marketing activities and through our joint venture. As well, we have begun planning the development of property acquired in 2019 to be at-the-ready as market conditions improve,” Choi added.

Fiscal 2023 Full Year Results

Fiscal 2023 revenue decreased slightly to $138.1 million, from $143.4 million in fiscal 2022. Despite receiving orders from new customers during the year, the added revenue was not enough to offset the shortfall in sales from certain existing customers.

Gross profit in fiscal 2023 totaled $21.8 million, compared with $27.3 million in fiscal 2022. Gross margin was 15.8 percent in fiscal 2023, compared with 19.1 percent in fiscal 2022.

Operating expenses in fiscal 2023 were $17.4 million, compared with $16.8 million in fiscal 2022. Operating income decreased to $4.4 million in fiscal 2023, from $10.5 million in fiscal 2022.

Net income amounted to $2.4 million, or $0.19 per share, in fiscal 2023, compared with $7.9 million, or $0.67 per share, in fiscal 2022.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Dividends

Cash and restricted cash totaled $19.4 million, and net working capital was $42.8 million as of March 31, 2023. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $10.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, compared with $9.0 million for last year.

On May 23, 2023, Jerash approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share on its common stock. The dividend was paid on June 9, 2023, to stockholders of record as of June 2, 2023.

Outlook

●

●

Gross margin goal for the full fiscal 2024 year is expected to be around 15-16 percent subject to final product mix of shipments.

Share Repurchase Program

As of March 31, 2023, 239,500 shares had been repurchased at market rates, at a total price of $1.2 million, excluding broker commissions, under the share repurchase program authorized by the board in June 2022. The program expired at the end of fiscal 2023.

Inside Jerash Holdings's 10-K Annual Report:

Revenue - Product Highlight
The decrease of approximately 10% in sales to the U.S. during fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 was mainly attributable to the decrease in the export sales to two major customers in the U.S. due to challenges related to inflation, which impacted customer demand for new orders.
