Cheetah Net Supply Chain Service Inc. AnnouncesSecond Quarter 2025 Results

IRVINE, August 4, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Cheetah Net Supply Chain Service Inc. (“Cheetah” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq CM: CTNT), a provider of warehousing and logistics services, today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported revenue of $354,126 from its logistics and warehousing business, representing a 278.9% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The operating loss was $780,849. After accounting for interest income of $272,228, the Company reported a net loss of $512,528, representing a 6.8% decrease compared to the same period in 2024.

Tony Liu, Cheetah’s Chairman and CEO commented, “We are reporting an improving result this quarter sequentially toward stabilization after our logistic and warehousing business got a hit by the tariff turmoil since March this year. In response, management has taken proactive measures to navigate the business by increasing labor and logistics service business and generating interest income from the proceeds of our public offerings closed in May and July last year, while aiming to lower cost for operational efficiency. “We will continue to focus on integrating the businesses of our two recently acquired companies to build a more resilient growth foundation in navigating trade policy pressure and uncertainties. We remain confident in our long-term growth strategy and will do our utmost to improve our performance and deliver shareholders’ values.”

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Continued operations- logistics and warehousingbusiness

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported revenue of $354,126 from its logistics and warehousing service segment, including $52,684, or 14.9%, of its total revenue following the acquisition of Edward Transit Express Group Inc. (“Edward”) in February 2024, and $301,442, or 85.1 % of its total revenue, following the acquisition of TW & EW Services Inc. (“TWEW”) in December 2024.

Revenue from Edward decreased by 43.7%, primarily due to i) a temporary suspension in U.S.-China ocean freight activities in April 2025 after the U.S. government’s threat in late March 2025 to impose higher tariffs on goods imported from China, partially offset by ii) stabilized trade flow in May and June 2025 following the resumption of trade negotiations between the two countries since May 2025.

The Company has taken proactive measures to navigate the business by increasing labor and logistics service business during the second quarter of 2025.

The Company also reported cost of revenue of $319,226, mainly the labor and logistics costs for TWEW and ocean freight service cost for Edward, and a gross profit of $34,900 for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

General and administrative expenses for the Company’s continuing operations decreased by $60,050, or 6.9%, to $805,305 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $865,354 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to (i) a decrease of $111,188 in legal and accounting fees as we incurred additional professional fees for preparing a registration statement on Form S-1 during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, (ii) a decrease of $33,786 in payroll and benefits expense due to staff optimization and cost-saving measures following the initial hiring to support the newly launched logistics and warehousing segment, (iii) a decrease of $17,662 in insurance expenses resulting from a change in the Company’s insurance provider, (iv) a decrease of $76,145 in recruiting expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as the prior-year period included significant hiring efforts associated with the launch of the Company’s logistics and warehousing segment, partially offset by (iv) an increase of 126,782 in rental and leases following the acquisition of Edward and the relocation of the Company’s headquarters to California in July 2024, (v) an increase of $12,055 in travel and entertainment expenses as part of business development efforts and client engagement, (vi) an increase of $20,476 in other miscellaneous general and administration expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025, and (vii) an increase of $19,418 in depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily due to the acquisition of new fixed assets and recorded intangible assets from Edward and TWEW acquisitions.

The significant increase was primarily driven by interest earned on short-term loan receivables and certificates of deposit, funded by the net proceeds from the Company’s public offerings closed in May and July 2024.

The Company had a net loss of $512,528 from its continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net loss of $550,022 for the same period of 2024.

Revenue from Edward decreased by 32.4%, primarily due to i) a temporary suspension in U.S.-China ocean freight activities in April 2025 after the U.S. government’s threat in late March 2025 to impose higher tariffs on goods imported from China, partially offset by ii) stabilized trade flow in May and June 2025, following the resumption of trade negotiations between the two countries since May 2025.
