Ms. Xiaoyang Huang, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Hitek Global Inc. commented, "Fiscal 2025 was a year of strategic progress and stabilized growth. Amid market pressures in tax devices and services, we returned to potential revenue growth driven by hardware growth and operational efficiency. "
Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
Revenue
Total revenue was approximately $6.5 million in fiscal year 2025, as compared to approximately $2.9 million in fiscal year 2024, primarily due to the increase in sale of selected safety monitoring equipment to petrochemical companies.
Revenue generated from hardware sales was approximately $6.1 million in fiscal year 2025, as compared to approximately $1.7 million in fiscal year 2024. The increase was due mainly to the increase in sales of selected safety monitoring equipment to petrochemical companies, and such increased sales drove a substantial growth in our hardware and equipment revenue.
Revenue generated from Tax devices and service was approximately $0.3 million in fiscal year 2025, as compared to approximately $0.4 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was due mainly to the tax bureau providing free electronic invoices, which has negatively impacted demand for our fee-based tax services.
Revenue generated from CIS software was approximately $0.2 million in fiscal year 2025, as compared to approximately $0.8 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was due mainly to our large customers reducing their procurement, even though two gained new customers in 2025. As the updated software can satisfy market demand and the Company is negotiating more sales contracts with new customers, we expect software sales will increase in the future.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit was approximately $0.7 million in fiscal year 2025, a decrease from approximately $1.0 million in fiscal year 2024. Our gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 10.6% for the year ended December 31, 2025 from 34.6% for 2024. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the increase in hardware sales and the reduced proportion of software sales revenue in 2025, which historically had a gross margin in excess of 50%.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were approximately $2.5 million in fiscal year 2025, an increase from approximately $2.8 million in fiscal year 2024.
Selling expenses were $4,478 in fiscal year 2025, an increase by 161.0% from $1,716 in fiscal year 2024. The increase in selling expense was mainly attributable to the increase in one-off program marketing and promotion expense.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 10.0% or $273,901 to $2,477,412 for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $2,751,313 in 2024. The decrease was mainly due to (1) the decrease of equity transaction fees of $123,374, as we did not conduct any private placement or other equity financing activities in 2025, as compared to one private placement completed in 2024; and (2) the decrease of $138,972 in donation to an education facility.
Other Income
Other income was $1,920,126 and $890,201 for years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the increase in net investment income of approximately $1.0 million in 2025.
Net Income
Net income was $180,142 for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $1,076,832 from net loss of $896,690 for 2024.
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $3.6 million, compared to $7.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
Cash Flow
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,535,849 for the year ended December 31, 2025. This was an increase of $847,311 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $688,538 in 2024.
Net cash used in investing activities was $2,109,565 for the year ended December 31, 2025. This was an decrease of $7,451,231 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $9,560,796 in 2024.
There was no financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2025. The net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $8.2 million attributable to a private placement.
