“We are pleased that we completed our IPO on Nasdaq on June 25 of this year as our company enters a new phase of growth and increased global recognition,” said Mr. Duncan Miao, Director and Chairman of the Board of Kandal. “Looking ahead, we have exciting developments that we will announce as we expand our global presence and enhance our production, design and development capabilities.”
Revenue
For the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, revenue was generated primarily from handbags sales.
Revenue increased by US$3,214,934 or approximately 23.0%, from US$13,971,743 for the year ended March 31, 2024 to US$17,186,677 for the year ended March 31, 2025. This increase reflects ongoing business growth and the sustained recovery of the global handbag market following the pandemic. Sales volumes rose across all existing customer accounts.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales primarily comprises raw material costs, direct labor costs and factory overheads. Cost of sales increased by US$3,224,831 or approximately 30.4%%, from US$10,604,640, for the year ended March 31, 2024 to US$13,829,471 for the year ended March 31, 2025.
Gross profit and gross profit margin
Gross profit decreased by US$9,897 or approximately 0.3%, from US$3,367,103, for the year ended March 31, 2024 to US$3,357,206 for the year ended March 31, 2025. The gross profit margin decreased by approximately 4.6 percentage points, from approximately 24.1% for the year ended March 31, 2024 to approximately 19.5% for the year ended March 31, 2025. This reduction was mainly due to shift in product mix, additional production supervisors and quality control personnel, lower efficiency from production of new designs, as well as higher indirect material costs and overheads.
Selling and distribution expenses
Selling and distribution expenses included export expenses, trucking costs and customs clearance fees. These expenses remained relatively stable at US$239,013 and US$304,406, amounting to approximately 1.7% and approximately 1.8% of revenue, for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Professional services fees
The Company’s professional services fees consist mainly of fees paid to external lawyers and consultants. Professional services fees increased by US$822,461 or approximately 1,094.5% from US$75,147 for the year ended March 31, 2024 to US$897,608 for the year ended March 31, 2025, which was primarily due to one off IPO fees, financial advisor fees, legal fees, and audit fees during the year.
Cash generated from operating activities
Cash inflow from operating activities was principally from receipt of sales. Cash outflow used in operating activities was principally for payment of purchases of raw materials, staff costs and other operating expenses.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company had net cash generated from operating activities of US$2,134,565 mainly arising from net profit from operations of US$228,954, as adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of (i) depreciation of property, plant and equipment of US$193,626; (ii) depreciation of right-of-use assets of US$69,241; (iii) write down of inventories of US$8,879; (iv) interest expenses of US$595,421; (v) interest income from loan to related party of US$370,705; (vi) provision for expected credit loss on VAT refundable of US$71,188; and (vii) write-off of VAT refundable of US$35,120. Changes in operating assets and liabilities mainly include (i) the increase in trade and other receivables of US$659,095; (ii) the decrease in inventories of US$147,511; and (iii) the increase in trade and other payables of US$1,958,462.
Net income
Consequently, net income decreased by US$909,859 or approximately 81.3% from US$1,119,532 for the year ended March 31, 2024 to US$209,673 for the year ended March 31, 2025, mainly due to the increased cost of goods sold, and one-off IPO expenses incurred during the year ended March 31, 2025.
