Fitell Corporation Announces Fiscal 2023 Financial Results

TAREN POINT, Australia, Oct. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fitell Corporation (Nasdaq: FTEL) ("Fitell" or the "Company"), an online retailer of gym and fitness equipment in Australia, today announced its 2023 annual financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

Fitell’s Chief Executive Officer, Yinying “Sam” Lu commented, “Fitell’s mission is to build an ecosystem with a whole fitness and wellness experience powered by technology. This mission guides our strategic decisions and underscores our commitment to creating value for our shareholders.

Furthering this perspective, Jamarson Kong, Fitell’s Chief Financial Officer, noted, “Throughout fiscal year 2023, we navigated several economic headwinds, notably the challenges posed by inflation and the rise in interest rates in Australia. Consequently, our financial results for the year reflect some of these challenges. As we look to fiscal year 2024, we stand firm in our commitment to overcoming these challenges and advancing our growth trajectory. He further reported, “We’re focused on executing our long-term strategy, including expanding our business offerings and market footprint. Fitell's successful listing on Nasdaq on August 8, 2023, instills confidence in our ability to deliver on our growth strategies."

FY 2023 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue was $4.8 million, a year-to-year decrease of $3,356,512 or 41.2%, primarily due to reduced consumer spending from inflation and raising of interest rates in Australia.
  • Gross profit was $2.2 million, a year-to-year decrease of $1,462,255 or 40.2%.
  • Gross margin was 45.3%, a year-to-year increase of 0.7%.
  • Sales of consumable products was $223,343, a year-to-year increase of 11.6% or $23,239, due to efforts to diversify revenue streams.

Revenue by Categories vs. Prior Year

 RevenueChange from FY 2022
 US$%US$%
Merchandise revenue4,036,04784.1%(3,210,541)-44.3%
Sales of consumable products223,3434.7%23,23911.6%
Revenue from licensing customers539,83211.2%(169,210)-23.9%


  • Merchandise revenue decreased significantly by 44.3% or $3,210,541 to $4,036,04. The decrease was primarily attributable to: (i) a 42.6% decrease in sales order, primarily due to inflation and raising of interest rates in Australia; (ii) a decrease of 3.0% in the average revenue per order. Despite the consumer confidences in Australia is week recently, but the management has devoted a lot of marketing efforts in promoting our products and have successfully retained many loyal customers.
  • Sales of consumable products represents the revenue generated by selling various lifestyle products. The sales of consumable products have increased 11.6% or $23,239 to $223,343 from $200,104 in FY 2022. The increase was due to our additional efforts to diversify our revenue streams, to mitigate the negative financial impact attributed to the decline in merchandise revenue.
  • Revenue from licensing customers represents licensing, management consultant income, and some agency fee for distributing other miscellaneous items. Revenue from licensing customers has decreased by 23.9% or $169,216 to $539,832 in FY 2023 from $709,042 in FY 2022. The decrease was due to the temporarily suspension of the overseas expansions recently, because the market sentiments are negatively affected by the inflations and the rising in interest rate in the global market. Nevertheless, we will expand these services again, especially to the Asia market, when the time is right.

Cost of goods sold decreased by approximately $1.9 million, or 41.9%, from $4,520,078 in FY 2022 to $2,625,821.

Gross profit was $2,173,401 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and $3,635,656 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $1,462,255, or 40.2%. The decrease was a combined result of the decrease in merchandise revenues and service revenue.

The gross profit margin increased 0.7% from 44.6% in FY 2022, to 45.3. The slight increase is mainly due to the change in revenue mix, as we have generated relatively more services revenue.

The IPO related expenses were $662,418 for consulting fee which is related to the Initial Public Offering project.

Subsequent Events

  • On August 8, 2023, the Company has successfully listed on Nasdaq and has raised a net proceed of approximately $13.6 million for the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock.
  • Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company has entered into a consulting agreement with a third party, for future capital market and fund-raising consulting services. The consideration of the contract is $1.8 million.
  • On October 23, 2023, at the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, the Board appointed Yinying “Sam” Lu, a member of the Board, to serve as Chief Executive Officer beginning as of October 23, 2023.
