BEIJING, May 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Autozi Internet Technology (Global) Ltd. ("Autozi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AZI), one of the leading and fast-growing lifecycle automotive service providers in China, today announced its unreviewed financial results for the six months ended March 31, 2026.
First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
Revenues
Revenues were US$29.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of 63.1% from US$79.9 million in the same period of fiscal year 2025. The revenue decline stemmed from two major factors. First, the conflict between the US and Iran has disrupted oil supply, tightening the lubricant market, driving up product prices and curbing market transactions. Second, the Company has strategically shifted its focus toward the new energy vehicle sector.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was US$29.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, representing a 62.4% year-over-year decrease from US$78.5 million in the same period of fiscal year 2025. The substantial year-over-year decline in cost of revenues was mainly attributable to the Company’s comprehensive business optimization and refined cost management, which aligned closely with the corresponding revenue contraction.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was US$0.24 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, representing a 82.5% year-over-year decrease from US$1.4 million in the same period of fiscal year 2025. The gross margin dropped from 1.70% to 0.81%. The decline in gross profit is closely linked to the contraction of operating revenue.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were US$15.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, representing a 64.6% year-over-year increase from US$9.5 million in the same period of fiscal year 2025. The rise was mainly attributable to higher financing expenses incurred during the reporting period.
Other expenses or income, net
Other income, net was US$1.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, representing a 46.4% year-over-year decrease from US$2.8 million in the same period of fiscal year 2025. The net balance was comprehensively affected by multiple factors, including net interest expenses arising from corporate financing activities, fair value fluctuation gains and losses of assets, and investment income from industrial layout. The Company’s diversified investment and financing activities during the reporting period led to comprehensive changes in non-operating income and expenses.
Net loss
As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net loss attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders of US$13.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, representing a 163.5% year-over-year increase from a net loss of US$5.2 million in the same period of fiscal year 2025. The increased loss was mainly due to the short-term strategic investment expenses and increased operating investment amid the Company’s business transformation and upgrading.
