Due to exchange rate fluctuations between reporting periods, year-over-year percentage changes calculated using U.S. Dollar amounts will differ from year-over-year percentage changes calculated in Singapore Dollars, the Company's functional currency. “Fiscal 2026 was a historic year of growth and operational execution for Rectitude, marked by record performance across revenue, net income, and EBITDA. They were our strongest financial metrics since becoming a publicly traded company in 2024. Our results were further propelled by highly active local market conditions, as surging public infrastructure and residential project pipelines across Singapore drove strong demand for both our safety solutions and flagship products like our All-in-one Intelligent Micro-grid System (AIMS),” said Mr. Jian Zhang, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Director at Rectitude. “The strategic investments we made in expanding our branch network, expanding logistics, and scaling clean energy innovations are yielding substantial returns. As we carry this momentum forward, we remain dedicated to capitalizing on robust construction tailwinds, providing reliable equipment to our job site partners, and driving maximum value for our shareholders.” Revenues For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, total revenues were $39.74 million, representing an increase of approximately $7.16 million, or 21.99%, from $32.57 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by key supply agreements for AIMS equipment, expanded market demand for existing and newly launched product lines, and strategic growth initiatives, including a new branch opening and collaborative partnerships. Cost of Revenues For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, cost of revenues was $26.96 million, representing an increase of approximately $5.34 million, or 24.72%, from $21.61 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The increase in cost of revenue was driven by higher sales volumes associated with overall business growth, partially offset by ongoing product sourcing and cost-optimization efforts. Gross profit Gross profit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, was $12.78 million, representing 32.17% of operating revenues, compared to gross profit of $10.96 million, representing 33.65% of operating revenues, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The increase in gross profit was mainly driven by overall top-line revenue growth, while the decrease in gross profit margin was due to competitive pricing pressures, partially offset by cost-optimization initiatives. Selling and marketing expenses Selling and marketing expenses primarily included expenses related to advertising and marketing activities and costs associated with our retail branches, which included labor costs, sales commissions and operating lease expenses. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, selling and marketing expenses were $4.13 million, representing an increase of $560,001, or 15.69%, from $3.57 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by higher sales volume in line with revenue growth, which resulted in increased sales commissions, marketing support, transportation, packaging, and other distribution costs necessary to support the higher level of business. Research and development expenses Research and development expenses primarily consisted of compensation cost to engineering, design and product development employees and software expenses. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, research and development expenses were nil, compared to $116,733 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The decrease to nil was primarily due to ongoing R&D projects that incurred no additional cost during the quarter. General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of motor vehicle running expenses, transportation, property maintenance and property tax, allowance for expected credit losses and general administrative expenses such as staff costs, depreciation, legal and professional fees and other miscellaneous administrative expenses. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, general and administrative expenses were $5.35 million, representing a decrease of $265,065, or 4.72%, from $5.61 million in the prior year period. The decrease was driven by cost control initiatives and improved operational efficiencies, including lower professional fees, reduced office expenses, and streamlined administrative processes. Net Income As a result of the factors described above, net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, was approximately $2.78 million, representing an increase of $1.12 million, or 67.25%, from $1.66 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Earnings per Share - Basic and Diluted Earnings per basic and diluted share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, was $0.19, representing an increase of $0.07 from $0.12 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. EBITDA The Company also views earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, (EBITDA) as an important measure of the results of operations. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, EBITDA was $5.47 million, representing an increase of approximately $2.08 million from $3.39 million in the prior year period. The increase in EBITDA was primarily driven by an increase in profitability, partially offset by increases in interest, depreciation and amortization expenses. Outlook Looking ahead to Fiscal Year 2027, Mr. Zhang commented, “Building on our historic performance in Fiscal 2026, we enter the new fiscal year with strong operational momentum, supported by a vibrant construction market in Singapore and robust demand across our product lines.” “Over the past year, we delivered directly on the strategic promises we made to our shareholders, scaling our All-in-one Intelligent Micro-grid System (AIMS) to power low-carbon construction sites, while formally establishing the Rectitude Succession Bridge (RSB) which provides a structured, risk-mitigated 'incubate-to-acquire' path for retiring first-generation SME owners. As we move into Fiscal 2027, we expect continued double-digit growth momentum for AIMS and further expansion of our RSB ecosystem across Southeast Asia.” “Grounded in the core operational principles that have guided Rectitude for over 26 years, we remain focused on disciplined execution to drive sustainable growth and maximize long-term value for our shareholders,” Mr. Zhang concluded.
