Deswell Announces Second Half and Full Year Fiscal 2025 Results

- Company Announces Second Half Cash Dividend of 0.10 Per Share -

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MACAO (June 18, 2025) - Deswell Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: DSWL) today announced its unaudited financial results for the second half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2025 were $32.4 million, an increase of 2.5% compared to net sales of $31.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Net sales decreased by 11.1% to $5.4 million in the plastic segment and increased by 5.8% to $27.0 million in the Company’s electronic segment.

Total gross margin slightly increased to 20.9% during the six months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 20.7% in the same period last year. For the plastic segment, gross profit margin decreased to 22.6% of net sales for the second half of fiscal 2025, as compared to 27.0% of net sales for the corresponding period of the last fiscal year. The decrease in gross profit margin in the plastic segment is mainly attributable to the decrease in sales revenues. Gross profit margin in the electronics segment increased to 20.6% in the second half of fiscal 2025, as compared to 19.2% in the second half of fiscal 2024. The increase in gross profit margin in the electronics segment is the result of the increase in sales revenues as well as continuous cost control measures taken.

Operating income for the second half of fiscal 2025 slightly increased from $1.48 million in the second half of fiscal 2024 to $1.49 million in the second half of fiscal 2025.

The Company reported net income of $5.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to net income of $4.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Non-operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $3.3 million, as compared to non-operating income of $2.6 million in the six months ended March 31, 2024. Non-operating income during the six months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily comprised of a realized gain of $1,470,000 on the sale of marketable securities, an increase of $202,000 in fair value of the marketable securities, $144,000 from rental income, $828,000 on dividend income from securities investments, and $695,000 from interest income, as compared to non-operating income primarily comprised of an increase of $884,000 in fair value of the marketable securities, $235,000 from rental income, $695,000 on dividend income from securities investments, $420,000 from interest income and $376,000 from other income in the second half of fiscal 2024. Deswell reported basic and diluted income per share of $0.31 for the second half of fiscal 2025 (based on 15,935,000 weighted average shares outstanding), as compared to basic and diluted income per share of $0.26 (based on 15,935,000 and 15,992,000 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively), for the six months ended March 31, 2024.

Net sales for the year ended March 31, 2025 were $67.6 million, a decrease of 2.5% compared to net sales of $69.4 million for fiscal 2024. Operating income for the year ended March 31, 2025 decreased to $3.3 million from $3.8 million in fiscal 2024. The Company reported net income of $11.1 million in fiscal 2025, as compared to net income of $7.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net income was mainly attributable to increases in gross profit and non-operating income in fiscal 2025, as compared to the prior fiscal year. Deswell reported basic and diluted net income per share of $0.70 for fiscal 2025 (based on 15,935,000 and 15,953,000 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively), as compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $0.48 (based on 15,935,000 and 15,999,000 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively), for the prior fiscal year.

The Company's financial position remained strong, with $28.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital totaling $78.8 million as of March 31, 2025. Furthermore, the Company has no long-term or short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2025.

Mr. Edward So, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During full year fiscal 2025 we made progress capturing new customers in both the market verticals we have traditionally addressed as well as new verticals. That said, with a broad range of international customers we continued to see some sales pressure in the back half of fiscal 2025 given the global inflationary environment and its impact on discretionary purchases, and we also continue to monitor the evolving international tariff environment closely. Nonetheless, we were pleased to achieve improved margin performance as well as enhanced profitability in both the last six months of fiscal 2025 and for full year 2025. Our margin performance was favorably impacted by a decrease in labor and materials costs associated with the depreciation of the renminbi, changes to our product mix, and the effect of the cost control measures we have undertaken.

“Our balance sheet is strong, reflecting a solid cash position and no debt providing us with the resources to focus on increasing our customer base and recognition in the industry as a dependable and effective partner for outsourced manufacturing operations”

Second Half Dividend

The Company also announced that its board of directors today declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share for the second half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The dividend will be payable on July 17, 2025 to shareholders of record as of July 3, 2025.

Dividends to be declared in the future will depend upon the Company’s future growth and earnings, of which there can be no assurance, and the Company’s cash flow needs for future development.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release that are "forward-looking statements" are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. For example, our statements regarding our expected growth in sales from the electronic division in the coming year and our efforts to reduce overhead costs in our plastic division are forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially because of the following factors, among others, which may cause revenues and income to fall short of anticipated levels or our overhead expenses to increase: our dependence on a few major customers; vigorous competition forcing product price reductions or discounts; the timing and amount of significant orders from our relatively few significant customers; continuing increases in resin prices that cannot be passed on to customers; unexpected production delays; obsolete inventory or product returns; losses resulting from fraudulent activity of our customers or employees; labor shortages that increase labor and costs; changes in the mix of product products we manufacture and sell; adverse currency fluctuations in the renminbi and Hong Kong dollar when translated to US dollars; potential new accounting pronouncements; and the effects of travel restrictions and quarantines associated with major health problems, such as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, on general economic activity.

For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s business, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, copies of which may be obtained from the Website maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission at http://www.sec.gov.

4.	Earnings Per Share

The basic net income per share and diluted net income per share are computed in accordance with ASC No. 260, "Earnings Per Share" (formerly the SFAS No.128 “Earnings Per Share”).

The basic net income per share is computed by dividing income available to common holders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. In computing the dilutive effect of potential common shares, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of treasury shares assumed to be purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of options.

The net income for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were both from the Company’s continuing operations.

DESWELL INDUSTRIES, INC.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

General

The Company’s revenues are derived from the manufacture and sale of (i) injection-molded plastic parts and components, and (ii) electronic products and subassemblies of audio equipment. The Company carries out all of its manufacturing operations in southern China, where it is able to take advantage of the lower overhead costs and less expensive labor rates as compared with Hong Kong.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2024

Net Sales - The Company's net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2025 were $32,434,000, a increase of $796,000 or 2.5% as compared to $31,638,000 in the corresponding period in fiscal 2024. The increase was related to decrease of $675,000 in our plastic segment and an increase of $1,471,000 in our electronic segment, as compared with the respective net sales from these segments in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The decrease in net sales in the plastic segment was mainly related to decreases in orders of $172,000 from existing customers for printers, $373,000 for robotic mops and vacuum cleaners, and $203,000 for tooling, offsetting increases in orders of $85,000 for plastic and gardening tool boxes from other existing customers.

The revenue increase in the electronic segment was mainly due to an increase in orders of $4,264,000 from existing customers for home entertainment products, offsetting decreases in orders of $2,624,000 for vending machines and $209,000 for audio equipment from other existing customers.

Gross Profit - Gross profit for the second half of fiscal 2025 was $6,779,000, representing a gross profit margin of 20.9%. This is compared to the overall gross profit and gross profit margin of $6,541,000 or 20.7% for the second half of fiscal 2024.

Gross profit in the plastic segment for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $1,227,000 or 22.6% of net sales in the segment, as compared to $1,650,000 or 27.0% of net sales in the segment for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross margin for the plastic segment was mainly due to the relative increase in the costs of primary materials and labor, resulting from the drop in sales revenues, when compared with the same period of last year, as well as the change of product mix.

During the six months ended March 31, 2025, gross profit in the electronic segment was $5,552,000 or 20.6% of net sales in the segment, as compared to $4,891,000 or 19.2% of net sales in the segment for the same period in the last fiscal year. The increase in gross margin was mainly attributable to the relatively lower raw materials and labor costs as a result of the increase in sales revenues, and the cost control measures taken, as compared with the same period of last fiscal year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - SG&A expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2025 were $5,876,000 or 18.1% of total net sales, as compared to $5,241,000 or 16.6% of total net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2024.

Corporate expenses decreased by $51,000 to $657,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $708,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily related to decreases in audit, legal and professional fees.

SG&A expenses in the plastic segment increased by $459,000 to $2,171,000 or 40.0% of net sales in the segment for the second half of fiscal 2025, compared to $1,712,000 or 28.1% of net sales in the segment for the corresponding period in fiscal 2024. In terms of total SG&A expense, the increase was due to increases of $226,000 in administrative staff costs and welfare, $200,000 in audit fees, $49,000 in local government taxes and charges, $10,000 in costs of utilities, and $14,000 in office repair and maintenance, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

SG&A expenses in the electronic segment increased $227,000 to $3,048,000 or 11.3% of net sales in the segment for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $2,821,000 or 11.0%of net sales in the segment for the corresponding period in fiscal 2024. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily related to increases of $124,000 in selling expense as well as $96,000 in staff costs and welfare, when compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.

Other Income - Other income was $591,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to other income of $183,000 in the corresponding six months of the prior fiscal year.

On a segment basis, other income attributable to the plastic segment for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $102,000, as compared to other expense of $65,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in other income was mainly due to gain of $53,000 from sales of materials and of $29,000 from disposal of fixed assets, and $40,000 for reversal of doubtful debts, offsetting an exchange loss of $19,000 during the second half of fiscal 2025, as compared to an exchange gain of $10,000 and a reversal of provisions of $10,000 for doubtful debts and a loss of $85,000 from disposal of fixed assets during the same period of fiscal 2024.

Other income attributable to the electronic segment for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $489,000, as compared with other income of $248,000 for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in other income was mainly due to increases of $92,000 in exchange gain and of $158,000 from reversal of doubtful debts during the six months ended March 31, 2025, when compared with the same period of last fiscal year.

Operating Income - Operating income was $1,494,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to operating income of $1,483,000 in the corresponding six months in the prior fiscal year.

Corporate expenses of $657,000 and $708,000 were incurred during the second half of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.

On a segment basis, the operating loss of the plastic segment was $842,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to operating loss of $127,000 in the corresponding period in fiscal 2024. The increase in operating loss in the plastic segment was mainly due to the decrease in gross margin and increase in SG&A expenses as described above.

The electronic segment reported operating income of $2,993,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to operating income of $2,318,000 in the corresponding period in fiscal 2024. The increase in operating income was mainly due to the increases in gross margin and other income as described above.

Non-Operating Income – Non-operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $3,340,000, as compared to non-operating income of $2,610,000 in the corresponding period in fiscal 2024. This was primarily due to increases of $1,470,000 in realized gain from sale of marketable securities, $134,000 in dividend income from investments in securities, $273,000 in interest income, offsetting decreases of $681,000 in fair value of the marketable securities held for sale, and $376,000 from other income, during the six months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Income Taxes – Income tax for the six months ended March 31, 2025 represented a current tax benefit of $121,000 and a deferred tax provision of $2,000, as compared to a current tax expense of $86,000 and a deferred tax benefit of $145,000 in the corresponding six months of the prior fiscal year.

On a segment basis, there was a current tax benefit of $71,000 and a deferred tax benefit of $77,000 in the plastic segment for the six months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to a current tax expense of $128,000 and a deferred tax provision of $22,000 during the year-ago six months. In the electronic segment, there was a current tax benefit of $50,000 and a deferred tax provision of $79,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to a current tax benefit of $42,000 and a deferred tax benefit of $167,000 for the corresponding six months of fiscal 2024.

Net Income – The Company had net income of $4,953,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to net income of $4,152,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net income for the second half of fiscal 2025 was mainly attributable to increase in non-operating income as described above.
