LAKESIDE HOLDING PROVIDES FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2025 RESULTS

ITASCA,Ill.,Nov. 16,2024 -- Lakeside Holding Limited ("Lakeside" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: LSH),a U.S.-based integrated cross-border supply chain solution provider with a strategic focus on the Asian market operating under the brand American Bear Logistics ("ABL"),today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025,ended September 30,2024.

Q1 2025 Financial Results:

Total revenues decreased by $66,922,or 1.6%,from $4,148,476 for the three months ended September 30,2023,to $4,081,554 for the three months ended September 30,2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in revenues from our cross-border airfreight solutions,partially offset by an increase in revenues from our cross-border ocean freight solutions.

Revenue from our cross-border airfreight solutions segment decreased by $0.2 million or 8.2%,from $2.4 million in the three months ended September 30,to $2.2 million in the three months ended September 30,2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of cross-border air freight processed,from approximately 7,816 tons for the three months ended September 30,to approximately 7,273 tons for the three months ended September 30,2024.

Revenue from our cross-border ocean freight solutions segment increased by $0.1 million,or 7.8%,from $1.7 million in the three months ended September 30,to $1.8 million in the three months ended September 30,2024. This growth was primarily due to an increase in the volume of cross-border ocean freights processed and forwarded,rising from 1,290 TEU in the three months ended September 30,to 1,430 TEU in the three months ended September 30,2024.

Revenues from Asia-based customers increased by $1.1 million,or 65.8%,to $2.8 million in the three months ended September 30,2024. The increase in revenues from Asia-based customers was driven by a surge in volume from these customers,particularly those serving large e-commerce platforms. This growth reflects the rising demand for our services,a direct result of the overall expansion of the U.S. e-commerce market.

Revenues from U.S.-based customers decreased by $1.2 million,or 48.2%,from $2.5 million in the three months ended September 30,to $1.3 million in the same period in 2024.

Cost of revenues increased by $0.1 million,or 1.7%,from $3.5 million in the three months ended September 30,to $3.6 million in the three months ended September 30,2024.

Gross profit decreased by $0.1 million,or 19.3%,from $0.6 million in the three months ended September 30,to $0.5 million in the three months ended September 30,2024. Our gross margin was 12.8% for the three months ended September 30,2024,compared to 15.6% for the three months ended September 30,2023. The decline in gross margin was primarily attributable to reduced revenue from the airfreight solutions segment and 2) an increase in our cost of revenue in warehouse services,customs declaration,and terminal charges.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million,or 114.7%,from $0.9 million in the three months ended September 30,2024. These expenses represented 45.0% and 20.6% of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30,2024 and 2023,respectively. The increase was primarily attributed to higher salary and employee benefit expenses,professional fees,office and travel expenses,insurance,and entertainment expenses. The increase was primarily attributed to the following:

Salaries and employee benefits expenses increased by $0.3 million,or 116.9%,from $0.5 million in the three months ended September 30,to $0.8 million in the three months ended September 30,2024. Our salaries and employee benefits expenses represented 50.3% and 66.8% of our total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,and 2023,respectively. The increase was mainly due to recruiting additional sales,customer services,and back-office support personnel to support our business growth.

Professional fees increased by $0.3 million,or 1,839.6%,from $17,535 in the three months ended September 30,to $340,114 in the three months ended September 30,2024. Our professional fee represented 18.5% and 2.0% of our total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,respectively. The increase was primarily due to audit fees,legal fees,consulting expenses,investor-related expenses,and financial reporting service fees for the three months ended September 30,2024. In the three months ended September 30,most expenses directly related to the offering were not included in professional fees,as they were accounted for as deferred initial public offering assets.

Net loss was $1.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30,respectively.

Management Commentary

Henry Liu,Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lakeside,commented,"Our first quarter results for fiscal year 2025 reflect both ongoing growth opportunities and some temporary challenges in our cross-border airfreight segment. Although total revenue declined slightly by 1.6% compared to the same quarter last year,we achieved solid gains in cross-border ocean freight,with segment revenues increasing by 7.8% due to stronger demand from Asia-based customers. This demand surge,particularly among large e-commerce clients,affirms our strategy to focus on expanding high-growth markets and highlights the success of our operational partnerships in the region."

"As we look ahead,we anticipate a rebound in revenue for the next quarter,driven by increased air freight demand for the upcoming holiday season as online purchases ramp up. We have expanded our production capacity to accommodate higher volumes and are prepared to meet rising customer demand efficiently. Additionally,the continued decrease in ocean freight charges is fueling import and export activities,while the broader shift toward e-commerce underscores the need for timely and competitively priced deliveries. We are confident in our ability to deliver on these needs,backed by our investments in advanced logistics technology and strategic facility expansions,including our new Dallas-Fort Worth site. We believe these efforts position us well for the quarters ahead as we strive to enhance value for our shareholders and customers," said Mr. Liu.

Q1 2025 Operational Highlights

In July,we closed our upsized initial public offering of 1,500,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $4.50 per share to the public for a total of $6,750,000 of gross proceeds to the Company before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses.

In July,we entered into a one-year renewable agreement with a leading Asia-based e-commerce platform to provide logistics services,including freight,customs,and parcel handling. The partnership uses advanced API integration to offer real-time supply chain visibility for sellers,enhancing the customer experience.

In August,we announced a partnership to provide customs brokerage services for a major social media and e-commerce platform,offering real-time logistics data through API integration. This deal streamlines customs clearance and enhances inventory and delivery visibility for platform sellers.

In September,we announced the launch of a Pick & Pack Fulfillment service for a major Chinese logistics company,offering inventory management and order processing across U.S. hubs. The service improves lead times and optimizes fulfillment efficiency.

In September,we announced the expansion of our Dallas-Fort Worth operations,more than doubling its space to 46,657 sq. ft. and increasing staff to meet growing demand. The new facility is equipped with advanced technology to improve logistics efficiency and support business growth.
