Revenues

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our total revenues were $14.1 million and $23.8 million, respectively, mainly from the sale of packaging products, corrugated products and supply chain management solutions. The decrease was primarily attributed to the increase in the average selling price offset by a decrease in sales volume. The average selling price increased from $1,613 per ton for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to $2,111 per ton for the six months ended December 31, 2024. The increased pricing was mainly due to an increase in raw paper cost. The volume of sales decreased from 14,759 to 6,701 tons in the comparable periods, primarily due to Company’s customers experiencing a decline in their business during the 2024 period. However, with the Company’s effort to strengthen existing customer relationships, the total sales revenue from our top 10 customers compared to our total sales revenue increased from 51.6% to 69.0%. To counter the decline in revenue, management implemented initiatives to reinforce relationships with existing customers, broaden the Company’s global customer base, refine pricing strategies, and enhance operational efficiency. These efforts focus on strengthening customer loyalty while actively recruiting additional sales talent to support expansion and diversification. Furthermore, management is analyzing competitor pricing to maintain competitiveness and optimizing processes, including inventory management, to elevate the overall customer experience. 

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues mainly consists of raw paper, staff, auxiliary material, depreciation, utilities and outsourcing costs.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, cost of revenues were $11.3 million and $17.6 million, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the increase in the unit cost of raw materials and reduced consumption of materials associated with lower sales volumes during the 2024 period. Management is conducting a comprehensive review of our production processes to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. This analysis focuses on identifying trends within our production data to support data-driven decisions that will lead to process improvements. Additionally, the review aims to pinpoint key areas where cost savings can be achieved without sacrificing product quality or customer satisfaction. Potential measures may include renegotiating material costs with suppliers, optimizing workforce allocation, and eliminating non-essential expenditures.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2024, was $2.85 million, with a profit margin of 20.2%, compared to $6.19 million and 26.0% for the comparable period in 2023. The $3.34 million decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a combination of lower sales volumes and deteriorating margins in our packaging and corrugated product lines. A breakdown of contributing factors is as follows:

 

(1)Paper Packaging Products: Revenue declined by $4.77 million, or 36.3%, mainly due to a 24.6% drop in sales volume and a 15.5% decline in average selling price. Although average cost per unit decreased by 1.4%, this was insufficient to offset the impact of reduced pricing and production scale, resulting in a lower gross margin.

 

(2)Corrugated Packaging Products: Revenue decreased by $4.86 million, or 59.6%, primarily due to a 72.7% drop in sales volume. Although average selling price increased by 48.0%, this was offset by a 56.0% increase in average cost per unit due to under-utilized capacity and higher fixed cost absorption, leading to reduced gross profit.

 

(3)Supply Chain Management Services: Revenue and cost remained relatively stable, with minor variations in unit pricing and cost. This segment had a minimal impact on the overall gross profit change.

 

The overall decline in gross profit was predominantly driven by lower volume and pricing pressures in our core business lines, as well as less favorable cost absorption resulting from lower production levels.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses consisted primarily of sales and administrative employee-related expenses and commissions. For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, selling and marketing expenses were $1.8 and $3.0 million respectively, reflecting a decline consistent with the decrease in sales revenue.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses mainly included staff cost for general and administrative purposes. For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, administrative expenses were relative stable at $3.8 and $3.7 million respectively.

 

Other Income (Expenses)

 

Other income and expenses mainly included realized exchange gain/loss, impairment of inventories and gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. Other expenses, net decreased from $0.14 million in six months ended December 31, 2023 to other expenses, net $0.06 million in six months ended December 31, 2024 mainly due to the decrease in realized exchange loss for the 2024 reporting period.

 

Net Income

 

As a result of the factors described above, net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was $3.1 million, compared to net loss of $0.9 million, for the six months ended December 31, 2023.

 

Earnings per Share - Basic and Diluted

 

Loss per basic and diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was $0.27, compared to $0.08 for the comparable period of 2023.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.2 million, compared to $13.3 million as of June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to net cash used in cash used in operating activities of $0.4 million, capital expenditures of $1.0 million, and net repayments of bank borrowings.

 

As of December 31, 2024, our total current assets were $23.4 million, including $11.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $8.6 million in accounts receivable, and $2.0 million in inventory. Our current liabilities totaled $10.9 million, comprising primarily $4.8 million in bank borrowings, $4.2 million in accounts payable, and $1.7 million in other payables and accrued liabilities. This resulted in positive working capital of $12.5 million and a current ratio of 2.1. The level of working capital is sufficient to support our near-term operational and financial obligations. 

 

The management believes the Company can effectively addresses its primary liquidity requirements through the use of cash reserves, operating cash flows, and access to short-term credit facilities.

 

Cash Flows

 

The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023:

 

Operating Activities

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash used in operating activities was primarily derived from revenue from the sale of paper products and from provision of supply chain management solutions, whereas the cash outflows for our operating activities mainly comprised the purchase of raw paper and finished goods, shipping costs, staff costs and administrative expenses.

 

Our net cash used in operating activities is primarily from net loss, as adjusted for items, such as depreciation and amortization, impairment of inventories, (reversal) provision for bad debts and effects of changes in operating assets and liabilities such as an increase or decrease in inventories, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other payables and accruals, related party balances in trade nature, right-of-use of assets and lease obligations.

 

Cash used in operating activities was $0.4 million compared to $3.3 million for the comparable period in 2023 a decrease of $2.7 million. The improvement was primarily driven by favorable changes in working capital, including a $2.0 million reduction in accounts receivable and a $1.6 million decrease in prepayments and other current assets, which more than offset the impact of the higher net loss during the period.

Capital Expenditures

Management intends to fund future capital expenditures from working capital, bank borrowings, lease financing and other financings. The Company will continue to make capital expenditures as appropriate to support its business growth.

 

Recently Completed Initial Public Offering and Use of Proceeds

 

On April 6, 2023, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 1,250,000 ordinary shares at $4.00 per share. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $4.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The ordinary shares of the Company began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on April 4, 2023, under the ticker symbol “MGIH”.

 

Due to the recent change in market conditions, our management decided to reallocate the proceeds from our IPO to focus more on the expansion of our overseas sales team, especially in the United States . Our overseas expansion has the goal to reach new customers and capture new market opportunities, which is expected to increase company revenue and market share. Meanwhile, our management team will continue to expand our supply chain management services available in Southeast Asia to explore potential opportunities.
