SINGAPORE, Sept. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HomesToLife Ltd (Nasdaq: HTLM) (“HomesToLife” or the “Company”), a Singapore-based home furniture company with sales across Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (“1H 2026”).

Financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (“1H 2025”) and 1H 2026, unless otherwise stated, reflect the inclusion of HTL Marketing Pte. Ltd. (“HTL Marketing”) because of the acquisition of 100% of equity interests in HTL Marketing completed on May 19, 2025.

1H 2026 Performance

In 1H 2026, the Company delivered strong net revenue of US$198.3 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 10%, driven by a US$18.3 million increase in export sales. By region, net revenue from North American and Europe markets saw 27% and 12% growth respectively compared to 1H 2025, while Asia Pacific market experienced a slight decline by 4%. Retail sales continued to support the revenue growth with a 57% year-on-year increase, attributable to the expansion of the retail stores and retail sales growth in South Korea.

Gross profit rose 14% from US$49.8 million in 1H 2025 to US$57.0 million in 1H 2026, with margins expanding by 1.1 percentage points. The continuous growth was primarily attributable to a favorable shift in sales mix, along with the better sales performance in both Europe and North America. Operating expenses increased by US$6.5 million due to higher selling expenses along with larger sales volumes and increased freight and logistics costs.

Income from operations reached US$9.7 million in 1H 2026, rising by 7% from US$9.0 million in 1H 2025. In the meantime, net income decreased from US$10.0 million in 1H 2025 to US$6.1 million in 1H 2026, primarily resulting from a net foreign exchange loss of US$2.2 million during the reporting period, compared with a foreign exchange gain of US$4.3 million in the same period last year. Excluding foreign exchange gain (loss), net income would have increased by 22% from US$6.5 million in 1H 2025 to US$7.9 million in 1H 2026. Earnings per share stood at US$0.07 in 1H 2026.

Financial Position

Cash outflows from operating activities improved with a reduction from US$11.3 million in 1H 2025 to US$8.3 million in 1H 2026, representing a year-on-year decrease of 26%. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to US$2.0 million, and net cash provided by financing activities amounted to US$1.5 million during the reporting period.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company maintained a healthy liquidity position, as cash and cash equivalents totalled US$17.9 million after US$5.8 million dividend payments and short-term borrowings reduced to US$7.3 million as of June 30, 2026 from US$10.4 million as of December 31, 2025. Net current assets were US$18.3 million, underscoring the Company’s positive working capital profile.

Outlook

HomesToLife expects to maintain stable sales growth for the remainder of FY2026, in line with its earlier guidance of US$400 million to US$420 million for the full year. Building on its growing export business and diversified revenue base, the Company will remain focused on enhancing operational efficiency, prudent cost management, and working capital optimization to support sustainable long-term growth.

The Company will also continue to closely monitor external factors that may affect operating performance, including foreign exchange movements, logistics costs, raw material prices, and broader macroeconomic as well as geopolitical developments. While foreign exchange movements affected reported net income during the reporting period, the Company continues to actively manage its foreign-exchange exposure through natural hedges and risk-management measures while maintaining its geographically diversified operations, helping to mitigate the impact of currency volatility and support resilient business performance.

“The first half of 2026 demonstrated the strength of our business fundamentals and the benefits of our diversified global strategy,” said Ms. Phua Mei Ming, Chief Executive Officer of HomesToLife. “While we remain mindful of ongoing market uncertainties, we are optimistic about the opportunities ahead. We will continue to proactively manage risks, invest in product innovation, and strengthen our presence across key markets.”

The Company remains in progress with its proposed secondary listing (“Proposed Secondary Listing”) on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”). The Proposed Secondary Listing remains subject to regulatory review and approval, and if approved, the fulfilment of certain conditions and other applicable listing requirements.
