Ispire Technology Inc. Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Third Quarter 2026

Cash Increased Sequentially by $468,000 to $18 Million

Plans to Achieve Cash Flow Positive in Second Half of Calendar Year 2026

Business Stabilized Following Strategic Repositioning

Phased Roadmap Targets Billions in Addressable Market, Including ~$73B Global Vape, ~$50–70B U.S. Flavored Vape, and $24B+ Global G-Mesh Glass Technology

LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ispire Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: ISPR) (“Ispire,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), an innovator in vaping technology and precision dosing, today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Michael Wang, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Ispire, commented, “This quarter reflects the successful stabilization of our business and with cash growing sequentially by $468,000 to $18 million, we are now executing against a phased roadmap, with near-term revenue drivers already in production and transformative technology opportunities on the horizon:

  • Our Malaysia manufacturing is live today, giving us a 25% tariff advantage over China in a ~$73B global vape market.
    • Supply of nicotine pouches to global customers commenced in April 2026.
  • Vapor ODM launches in July 2026 for mid-sized brands, with large brand partnerships targeted for 2027.
  • Looking further ahead (2027 and beyond):
    • Age-gating technology through IKE Tech has the potential to unlock the ~$50–70B US flavored vape market
    • G-Mesh glass technology is already drawing interest from big tobacco in a $24B+ legal global market.

“With cash generation this quarter and proprietary technologies in age-gating and G-Mesh that no competitor can replicate, we have multiple shots on goal across billion-dollar markets, and we believe Ispire is uniquely positioned to deliver outsized value for shareholders.”

Financial Results for the Fiscal Third Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

  • Revenue was $18.7 million, compared to $26.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and $20.3 million in the prior sequential quarter. The sequential decline of $1.6 million, or 8%, represents the smallest second-to-third quarter decline in the Company’s history, reflecting the typical seasonal impact of Chinese New Year-related factory shutdowns. The year-over-year decline reflects the Company’s continued strategic shift away from lower-quality cannabis revenue toward regulated nicotine delivery and compliance technologies. Overall, the business continues to stabilize.
  • Gross profit of $2.0 million compared to $4.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and $3.5 million in the prior sequential quarter. Gross margin was impacted by approximately $2.2 million in one-time product returns from legacy cannabis customers with whom the Company has ceased doing business. Gross margin of 10.7% compared to 18.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, is primarily attributable to the approximately $2.2 million one-time product returns from legacy cannabis customers with whom the Company has ceased doing business.
  • Total operating expenses excluding bad debt expense of $5.9 million, a 36% reduction when compared to operating expenses of $9.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, and a 3.7% reduction when compared to operating expenses of $6.1 million in the prior sequential quarter. Bad debt expense was $5.6 million, which is $0.5 million less than the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and $1.4 million more than the prior quarter.
  • Net loss of $9.5 million or ($0.17) per share, a 12.3% decrease, compared to net loss of $10.9 million, or ($0.19) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, and a 44.4% increase compared a net loss of $6.6 million in the prior sequential quarter.
  • Cash: At March 31, 2026, the Company held cash of $18.0 million and working capital of $0.9 million.
