INLIF LIMITED Reports First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
QUANZHOU, China, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- INLIF LIMITED (Nasdaq: INLF) (together with all its subsidiaries and consolidated entities, the "Company" or "INLIF"), a company engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of injection molding machine-dedicated manipulator arms, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026 ended June 30, 2026.
Mr. Rongjun Xu, Chief Executive Officer of INLIF, remarked, "We are pleased to present our financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026, which reflect continued growth in both revenue and gross profit compared with the same period in fiscal year 2025. We have also reported net income of approximately $1.01 million in the current period, compared with a net loss of approximately $1.98 million in the same prior period in 2025, an improvement of approximately $3.0 million.
This growth was driven by the expansion of our customer base, rising demand for manipulator arms, and, in particular, sales from our newly launched intelligent equipment business, which generated $3.36 million in revenue and accounted for 25.97% of total revenue during the period, compared with no revenue contribution in the same period last year.
With net revenue increasing by 26.01%, our gross profit grew by 158.77%, while gross profit margin increased from 17.50% to 35.95%. These results reflect the progress of our strategy to expand into the new energy and intelligent equipment sectors and further diversify our business.
To sustain this growth momentum and expand our long-term growth potential, we continued to increase our investments in sales and research and development ('R&D'), with related expenses increasing by 50.21% and 49.18% year over year, respectively. To support sales growth, we increased performance-based compensation incentives for our sales personnel and expanded spending on sales activities. At the same time, our R&D team more than doubled in size, from 31 to 72 employees, and we continued to invest in the development of industrial robots. While the industrial robots remain in the R&D and product validation stages, we believe they represent an important area of future development for the Company.
Alongside increased investments in sales, technology, and new product development, we maintained disciplined cost management across the organization. As a result, general and administrative expenses decreased by 34.42%, primarily reflecting the absence of one-time share-based compensation granted to three key administrative employees in the prior-year period. This reduction underscores our continued focus on maintaining operating efficiency while selectively investing in areas that support long-term growth.
During the period, we also completed a PIPE offering and established an At-the-Market program to help support our operational and expansion needs. We believe these additional capital resources provide a solid foundation to support our business development for the foreseeable future. Moving forward, we will focus on strengthening our technological innovation and organic growth capabilities in an efficient and disciplined manner, while continuing to expand and consolidate our new business initiatives."

First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
Net Revenue
Net revenue was $12.94 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 26.01% from $10.27 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in sales of manipulator arms, including installation and warranty services, by approximately $0.60 million, mainly due to higher purchase volumes from certain existing customers and contributions from newly acquired customers; (ii) an increase in sales of accessories by approximately $0.01 million, which remained relatively stable compared with the prior-year period; and (iii) sales of intelligent equipment of approximately $3.36 million, primarily used in the new energy sector, driven by customers' needs for new production lines, capacity expansion and automation upgrades. These increases were partially offset by (iv) a decrease in sales of raw materials and scraps of approximately $1.27 million, primarily due to the Company's adoption of a more demand-driven procurement approach, lower customer demand for certain raw materials, and enhanced production and inventory controls that reduced the volume of scraps generated; and (v) a decrease in installation service revenue of approximately $0.03 million, primarily due to lower installation volumes, shorter installation time for certain products, and an increasing number of customers performing installation using their own personnel or requiring only limited technical assistance from the Company.
- Sales of manipulator arms and installation and warranty services were $4.97 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 13.74% from $4.37 million for the same period of last year.
- Sales of accessories were $0.40 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 3.04% from $0.39 million for the same period of last year.
- Sales of raw materials and scraps were $4.20 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared to $5.47 million for the same period of last year.
- Sales of installation services were $6,528 for the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared to $41,523 for the same period of last year.
- Sales of intelligent equipment were $3.36 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared to nil for the same period of last year.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue was $8.29 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing a decrease of 2.16% from $8.47 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a significant reduction in the cost of raw materials sold, partially offset by costs associated with the Company's newly developed intelligent equipment business and higher costs of accessories.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit was $4.65 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 158.77% from $1.80 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to (i) an increase in gross profit from sales of manipulator arms, including installation and warranty services, by approximately $0.46 million; (ii) an increase in gross profit from sales of raw materials and scraps by approximately $1.99 million; (iii) an increase in gross profit from sales of intelligent equipment by approximately $0.64 million; and (iv) offset by a decrease in gross profit from sales of accessories and installation services by approximately $0.21 million and $0.03 million, respectively.
Gross profit margin increased to 35.95% for the first half of fiscal year 2026, from 17.50% for the same period of last year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $3.53 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing a decrease of 8.73% from $3.87 million for the same period of last year.
- Selling expenses were $0.62 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 50.21% from $0.41 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to (i) an increase of approximately $0.10 million in salaries and benefits, primarily due to higher performance-based compensation for sales personnel as the Company's revenue increased; (ii) an increase of approximately $0.02 million in business entertainment expenses, mainly due to increased customer visits and related business development activities; (iii) an increase of approximately $0.03 million in traveling expenses, primarily due to more frequent business trips by the Company's sales personnel to support the expansion of the Company's sales activities; and (iv) an increase of approximately $0.06 million in transportation expenses, mainly due to higher customer-related transportation costs associated with the increase in sales.
- General and administrative expenses were $1.76 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing a decrease of 34.42% from $2.68 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease of approximately $1.63 million in share-based compensation expenses, primarily because equity incentives were granted to three key administrative employees during the first half of 2025, while no comparable grants were made during the first half of 2026.
- Research and development expenses were $1.15 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 49.18% from $0.77 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the expansion of the Company's research and development team, with headcount increasing from 31 in June 2025 to 72 in June 2026, resulting in higher personnel costs. The Company also continued to invest in the development of industrial robots, which remained in the research, development and product validation stage during the period.

Net income was $1.01 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared to a net loss of $1.98 million for the same period of last year.
