Fitell Corporation Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results:
For the fiscal year 2023, the following financial highlights were reported:
– Total revenue amounted to $4.8 million, representing a substantial year-over-year decrease of $3,356,512 or 41.2%. This decline was primarily attributed to reduced consumer spending stemming from inflationary pressures and an uptick in interest rates within Australia.
– Gross profit stood at $2.2 million, signifying a year-over-year decrease of $1,462,255 or 40.2%.
– The gross margin registered at 45.3%, showing a year-over-year increase of 0.7%.
– Sales of consumable products reached $223,343, marking an 11.6% year-over-year increase, equivalent to $23,239. This uptick can be attributed to deliberate efforts to diversify revenue streams.
– Conversely, merchandise revenue experienced a significant drop of 44.3%, or $3,210,541, falling to $4,036,04. This decrease was chiefly due to a 42.6% decline in sales orders, largely impacted by inflation and interest rate hikes in Australia. Additionally, there was a 3.0% decrease in average revenue per order. Despite a recent dip in consumer confidence in Australia, management’s intensive marketing efforts effectively retained a substantial number of loyal customers.
Sales of consumable products encompass the revenue generated from the sale of various lifestyle items. This category witnessed an 11.6% increase, or $23,239, from $200,104 in FY 2022, bringing the total to $223,343 in FY 2023. This growth was a direct result of concerted measures taken to diversify revenue streams, counteracting the negative financial impact of declining merchandise revenue.
Revenue from licensing customers, covering licensing, management consulting income, and certain agency fees for the distribution of miscellaneous items, experienced a decline of 23.9%, or $169,216, falling to $539,832 in FY 2023 from $709,042 in FY 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the temporary suspension of overseas expansions, influenced by prevailing market sentiments affected by global inflation and rising interest rates. Fitell Corporation, however, remains poised to reinitiate these services, with a particular focus on the Asian market when conditions are favorable.
Cost of goods sold witnessed a substantial reduction of approximately $1.9 million, or 41.9%, declining from $4,520,078 in FY 2022 to $2,625,821.
Ultimately, the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, yielded a gross profit of $2,173,401, as opposed to the $3,635,656 recorded in the preceding fiscal year. This translates to a decrease of $1,462,255, or 40.2%. The decline can be attributed to a combined effect of diminished merchandise revenues and service revenue.
Moreover, the gross profit margin experienced a modest increase of 0.7%, ascending from 44.6% in FY 2022 to 45.3%. This marginal uptick can be primarily attributed to shifts in the revenue mix, with a relatively greater proportion of revenue being derived from services.
In terms of expenses related to the Initial Public Offering project, Fitell Corporation incurred IPO-related expenses amounting to $662,418, allocated towards consulting fees. These expenses were associated with the company’s Initial Public Offering endeavor.
