**Hour Loop Reports Full Year of 2025 Results**

 

*Continued Profitability Despite a Challenging Economic Environment*

**Redmond, WA, Mar. 24, 2026** – Hour Loop, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOUR) ("Hour Loop"), a leading online retailer, announces its financial and operational results for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Financial Highlights for 2025:**

● Net
 revenues increased 3% to $142.4 million, compared to $138.3 million in the year-ago period;

● Net
 income increased to $1.7 million, compared to $0.7 million in the year-ago period; and

● Cash
 provided by operating activities was $2.6 million, compared to cash provided by operating
 activities of $0.3 million in the year-ago period.

**Management Commentary**

"We are pleased to share our full year 2025 financial results. Fiscal year 2025 was a challenging year for the retail industry, as reciprocal tariffs increased procurement costs and added complexity to operations. Despite these pressures, we adapted quickly, adjusted our inventory management and sales strategies, and delivered strong financial performance in 2025," said Sam Lai, CEO and interim CFO of Hour Loop.

"Sales growth for the year was primarily driven by the continued expansion of our multi-channel business, including Walmart, eBay, Amazon Canada, and Amazon Mexico, which enabled us to capture demand and expand our customer reach. Gross margin improved from the prior year despite procurement cost pressure, reflecting effective sales strategy adjustments and continued enhancements to our automated pricing system.

Operating income increased by more than double from the prior year, driven by higher gross margin and continued improvements in operating efficiency. Through disciplined execution, process optimization, and cost management, we strengthened the scalability of our operating model.

Looking ahead to 2026, while tariff-related challenges, the discontinuation of Amazon's labeling service and macroeconomic uncertainties remain, we believe our 2025 performance demonstrates our ability to adapt and execute under challenging conditions. We remain committed to disciplined growth, operational excellence, and long-term value creation for our shareholders."

**Full Year 2025 Financial Results**

Net revenues in 2025 were $142.4 million, compared to $138.3 million in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by our procurement strategy to increase our inventory level.

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased 0.3% to 52.4%, compared to 52.1% in 2024. The increase was a function of improved product costs, enhanced inventory quality and efficiency, and an optimized pricing system made on margin increase.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues in 2025 decreased by 0.9%, to 50.7%, compared to 51.6% of net revenues in 2024. The decrease was mainly caused by the improvement of our operational efficiency.

Net income in 2025 was $1.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in 2024. The increase was driven by decreased costs and expenses because of the reasons mentioned above.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $3.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $2.1 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to operating profit and a reduction in accounts receivable.

**Full Year 2026 Financial Outlook**

For the full year 2026, Hour Loop is providing guidance for net revenue to be in the range of $143 million to $163 million, representing flat to 15% year-over-year growth. The Company expects 2026 net income to be in the range of $0.75 million to $1.5 million.
