Published

on

NEW YORK, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fly-E Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLYE) (“Fly-E” or the “Company”), an electric vehicle company engaged in designing, installing, selling, and renting smart electric motorcycles, electric bikes, and electric scooters, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Summary

Net revenues were $19.1 million in fiscal year 2026, compared to $25.4 million in fiscal year 2025.Gross profit was $4.7 million in fiscal year 2026, compared to $10.5 million in fiscal year 2025.Gross margin was 24.4% in fiscal year 2026, compared to 41.1% in fiscal year 2025.Net Loss was $9.3 million in fiscal year 2026, compared to $5.3 million in fiscal year 2025.Basic and diluted losses per share were $8.38 in fiscal year 2026, compared to $21.95 in fiscal year 2025.

“Fiscal year 2026 represents a pivotal transition for Fly-E, as we initiated targeted measures to optimize our retail footprint, simplify our corporate structure, and enhance administrative efficiency,” commented Mr. Zhou (Andy) Ou, Chief Executive Officer of Fly-E. “While a challenging consumer retail environment and proactive pricing adjustments to clear aged inventory directly impacted our top-line performance and compressed our near-term margin profile, we believe these operational adjustments are fundamentally beneficial for Fly-E’s long-term trajectory. We are seeing an encouraging shift in our revenue mix this year, highlighted by the increased demand from our wholesale channel as we evolved our distribution model, alongside steady traction within our rental services, with both business lines demonstrating strong year-over-year growth.”

Mr. Ou continued, “Moving forward, we remain committed to rebuilding trust through enhanced product safety, continuing to innovate with solutions like our battery swap system and Go Fly app, growing our service portfolio through our rental program, and expanding our online retail presence. Together, these strategic pillars form a more resilient, efficient foundation for sustainable value creation over time.”

Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues were $19.1 million in fiscal year 2026, a decrease of 25.0% from $25.4 million in fiscal year 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a lower sales volume of 42,101 units in fiscal year 2026 compared to 58,765 units in fiscal year 2025, as well as promotional pricing adjustments implemented to clear aged inventory.

Retail sales revenue was $6.9 million in fiscal year 2026, a decrease of 68.1% from $21.7 million in fiscal year 2025. The decline was primarily attributable to softened consumer demand for E-Bikes and E-Scooters following industry-wide lithium-ion battery safety concerns in the New York market, which prompted temporary shifts in consumer preferences. The decrease was also partially driven by the planned closure and disposal of certain retail stores during the fiscal year.

Wholesale revenue was $11.6 million in fiscal year 2026, a robust increase of 227.5% from $3.5 million in fiscal year 2025. This growth was primarily driven by sustained product demand and ongoing purchases from the retail stores that were streamlined and transitioned to independent operations during the period.

Rental services sales revenue was $0.6 million in fiscal year 2026, an increase of 237.5% from $0.2 million in fiscal year 2025, reflecting early traction in the expansion of the Company’s service portfolio.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was $14.4 million in fiscal year 2026, a decrease of 3.8% from $15.0 million in fiscal year 2025. The decrease was primarily aligned with the lower sales volume resulting from the downsizing of the Company’s retail store network.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit was $4.7 million in fiscal year 2026, compared to $10.5 million in fiscal year 2025. Gross margin was 24.4% in fiscal year 2026, compared to 41.1% in fiscal year 2025. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to lower average selling prices of our EVs implemented to clear aged inventory and an increase in procurement costs driven by upstream price movements, as well as a shift in sales channel mix following the disposal of certain retail stores, which resulted in a higher proportion of wholesale sales and a lower proportion of retail sales — the latter of which typically generates higher margins. These headwinds were partially offset by an increased contribution from the higher-margin rental services business line.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $11.1 million in fiscal year 2026, a decrease of 26.1% from $15.0 million in fiscal year 2025. The reduction reflects the impacts of our cost-optimization measures, including lower payroll and rental expenses achieved through the streamlining of retail store operations. This decrease was partially offset by increases in warehouse maintenance costs, impairment losses on equipment, and inventory clearance losses as the Company downsized its retail footprint.

Selling expenses were $3.5 million in fiscal year 2026, a decrease of 53.0% from $7.4 million in fiscal year 2025, primarily driven by the streamlining of retail stores which lowered associated payroll, rental and utility expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $7.6 million in fiscal year 2026, remaining stable compared to $7.6 million in fiscal year 2025. Driven by the Company’s structural downsizing, the decreases in payroll, travel, and entertainment expenses were offset by increases in non-cash impairment losses on property and equipment, inventory clearance adjustments, and repair and maintenance costs.

Net Loss

Net loss was $9.3 million in fiscal year 2026, compared to $5.3 million in fiscal year 2025.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Losses) per Share

Basic and diluted losses per share were $8.38 in fiscal year 2026, compared to $21.95 in fiscal year 2025.

EBITDA

EBITDA was negative $6.3 million in fiscal year 2026, compared to negative EBITDA of $3.9 million in fiscal year 2025.

Financial Condition and Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash of $0.3 million, compared to $0.8 million as of March 31, 2025. 

Net cash used in operating activities was $13.8 million in fiscal year 2026, compared to $10.1 million in fiscal year 2025.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.5 million in fiscal year 2026, compared to $2.9 million in fiscal year 2025.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $15.7 million in fiscal year 2026, compared to $12.5 million in fiscal year 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (the “U.S. GAAP”), management periodically uses certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” as such term is defined under the rules of the SEC, to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are included in or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For example, non-GAAP measures may exclude the impact of certain items such as acquisitions, divestitures, gains, losses and impairments, or items outside of management’s control. Management believes that the following non-GAAP financial measure provides investors and analysts useful insight into our financial position and operating performance. Any non-GAAP measure provided should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the most directly comparable measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Further, the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculation of similarly titled financial measures presented by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies.

We use EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) to evaluate our operating performance. We believe EBITDA provides additional insight into our underlying, ongoing operating performance and facilitates year-to-year comparisons by excluding the earnings impact of interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and that presenting EBITDA is more representative of our operational performance and may be more useful for investors.

We reconcile our non-GAAP financial measure to our net income, which is our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA includes adjustments for provision for income taxes, as applicable, interest income and expense, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income as determined by U.S. GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. We believe EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance and provides useful information to investors because it highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on U.S. GAAP measures and because it eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating performance. EBITDA, as presented herein, is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to our U.S. GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. EBITDA is a measure of operating performance that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net (loss) income as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Published

on

By

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Organizing Committee of the Global Security & Technology Summit (GSTS) held an introductory session today at the Ministry of Interior’s headquarters in Riyadh, bringing together representatives from the government, private, and nonprofit sectors to introduce the program of activities leading up to the summit. The upcoming summit will be held in Riyadh under the patronage of HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, under the supervision of HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Minister of Interior, and organized by the Ministry of Interior in cooperation with Tuwaiq Academy.

During the session, the Organizing Committee presented the comprehensive GSTS program, comprising three key components: GSTS Month, running from November 1 to 30, 2026; the Global Security & Innovation Fair (SAIF), taking place from November 24 to 26, 2026; and the main Summit, scheduled for December 18 to 20, 2026, in Riyadh. Together, these events form an integrated program designed to advance security and technology innovation, strengthen national capabilities, and foster international cooperation.

GSTS Month will feature working groups, boot camps, training programs, knowledge-sharing sessions, and technical workshops across Saudi Arabia’s 13 administrative regions, delivered both in person and remotely in collaboration with specialized entities. The month-long program aims to develop national capabilities, identify emerging talent, enrich knowledge-sharing opportunities, and equip professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to develop innovative solutions to future security and technology challenges.

The main Summit will bring together global leaders, decision-makers, experts, and innovators to explore the future of security and technology, promote the integration of advanced technologies within the security sector, strengthen national capabilities, support innovation, and foster international cooperation, further positioning the Kingdom as a global hub for security and technology.

Showcasing the latest technological breakthroughs and security solutions, the summit will bring together government entities, private sector organizations, academic institutions, and research centers to facilitate knowledge exchange and collaboration across key fields, including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), smart security solutions, emerging technologies, and crisis management. The program will also feature main sessions, specialized discussions, and interactive exhibitions. Registration is available at gsts.sa.

Advisor to HRH the Minister of Interior and Chairman of the GSTS Organizing Committee, Ahmed Altowayan, stated that the summit builds on Saudi Arabia’s efforts to establish an advanced security and technology ecosystem focused on knowledge and innovation, keeping pace with rapid developments and future challenges.

Mr. Altowayan noted that the summit is a global platform for strengthening cooperation and exchanging expertise, anticipating future developments in security and technology, and developing strategic partnerships and innovative solutions that enhance the efficiency and readiness of security systems.

Vice Chairman of the GSTS Organizing Committee, Eng. Abdulaziz Alhammadi, said that the summit will offer a range of integrated programs and activities focused on enhancing national skills, encouraging innovation, and supporting international cooperation.

He added that GSTS Month will help build national capabilities, discover talent, and develop skills, with SAIF providing a platform for innovators and researchers from around the world to showcase leading technological solutions, while the main Summit will bring together leaders and experts to discuss the future of security and technology and explore new strategic partnership opportunities.

SAIF will take place at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center, bringing together innovators, researchers, technology talents, and industry experts from around the world to showcase promising innovations and projects across 14 fields of technology and innovation. The fair will provide opportunities to engage with project owners, including students, graduates, and entrepreneurs, and explore the different stages of innovation development through interactive zones, panel discussions on emerging security and innovation trends, and knowledge-sharing workshops led by specialists. Visitor registration is open to participants from within and outside the Kingdom through saifair.sa.

The introductory session also featured contributions from representatives of government, private, and nonprofit sector entities, alongside members of the media. Discussions focused on developing national capabilities in security and technology, strengthening students’ technical expertise, translating scientific research into practical solutions, and supporting Saudi companies in developing security and technology solutions and advancing digital transformation.

Organized by the Ministry of Interior in cooperation with Tuwaiq Academy, GSTS is produced by Tahaluf, with the Ministry of Education serving as Strategic Scientific Partner, Tahakom as Founding Partner, and Elm as Principal Partner.

Bringing More of Axon’s AI Era Into the Field

Axon Body 5 helps officers get more out of the Axon AI Era Plan by bringing smart tools right to the scene. Axon’s portfolio already supports public safety professionals across a growing range of tasks. For example, Draft One helps officers turn body-camera audio into high-quality report drafts and Axon Assistant provides voice-based information access and real-time translation.

Increasingly, Axon is also bringing AI into real-time operations.

Axon Guardian is a new category of AI features within the AI Era Plan that was specifically created to work with an officer’s field-based devices – starting with body cameras and in-car cameras – to improve safety. Guardian is designed to flag potential risks as situations unfold and create alerts when additional attention may be needed. Two of the first features include:

Escalation Detection: When an Axon Body 4 or Axon Body 5 camera is activated and recording, Guardian has the ability to detect potential conflicts in real time and create an alert in Axon Fusus. A human reviews the livestream and decides if additional support or action is needed.Approach Alert: When active on Axon Fleet 3, Guardian can detect if the door of a stopped vehicle opens and alert the officer through the in-car display and their body-worn camera.

Combined, Axon Body 5 and the expanding AI Era portfolio demonstrate the importance of AI as a critical resource to assist public safety professionals before, during and after an incident — reducing administrative burden, improving situational awareness and helping protect more lives.

In HelloNation, Custom Fabrication Expert Mark Coyle Explains a Common Mistake in Custom Aluminum Design

Published

By

The article explains why smart geometry, not thicker walls, creates stronger, more efficient aluminum components.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What early design choice causes many custom aluminum projects to become heavier, costlier, or harder to manufacture? That question is addressed in a HelloNation article featuring insights from Custom Fabrication Expert Mark Coyle of American Custom Metals, Inc. in Rochester, New York, that outlines how misunderstanding aluminum behavior leads designers to rely on thick walls instead of stronger geometry.

The article begins by explaining that many people assume thicker walls automatically make aluminum parts stronger. It notes that aluminum does not respond to wall thickness the way steel does. Instead, its performance is shaped by how the metal flows through the extrusion die. The article states that custom aluminum design is more effective when profiles use ribs, chambers, and flanges to create stiffness without adding unnecessary weight. This guidance helps readers understand why adding material often increases cost without improving strength.

The article also highlights that thicker walls change how aluminum moves during extrusion. When heavy areas fill more slowly, the metal cools unevenly and can develop stress that only appears later. The HelloNation piece explains that well-balanced geometry keeps extrusion smooth and predictable. This consistency makes it easier to maintain dimensional accuracy across long production runs. By focusing on geometry, custom aluminum design avoids the problems that come with slow extrusion speeds and uneven cooling.

Another insight in the article centers on how ribs and internal supports influence stability. It describes how a thin wall supported by a properly placed rib often performs better than a thick wall with no reinforcement. This happens because the rib helps distribute load, improve stiffness, and guide the aluminum as it cools. The article explains that this structural approach makes custom aluminum design more efficient and gives designers more control over how the final part behaves under pressure.

The article also shows why early collaboration between designer and fabricator prevents costly changes. It states that a fabricator familiar with extrusion can catch potential issues before a die is built. Small adjustments to corners or transitions can remove weak points or improve metal flow. The article notes that this teamwork keeps the design aligned with real-world production. By working together early, both sides reduce the risk of redesigning the die after the first test run.

Machining is another area where the article explains how wall thickness affects performance. Features such as deep pockets or sharp internal angles may require slow feed rates or special tooling. When walls are thicker than needed, those areas can become difficult to machine cleanly. The article states that thoughtful custom aluminum design makes machining more predictable. Small changes, such as adding radiused edges or sizing features to match standard tools, help shorten cycle times and prevent tool wear.

Thermal behavior receives detailed attention as well. The article explains that aluminum retains heat differently depending on the mass of each section. Thicker walls hold heat longer, which increases the chance of distortion during extrusion, machining, or finishing. When a design uses geometry to create strength, the material cools more evenly. This reduces warping and helps long profiles stay aligned. The article notes that stable cooling is important for components that require a precise fit and consistent shape throughout an entire production run.

Cost is also a key topic in the article. It states that heavier profiles increase material use, extrusion time, and tooling needs. A custom aluminum design that relies on geometry instead of mass lowers material consumption and keeps the fabrication process efficient. The article explains that lighter parts are easier to handle, ship, and assemble. This saves money across multiple stages of production and supports long-term manufacturing efficiency.

The article also notes that smart custom aluminum design creates profiles that behave predictably during extrusion and machining. Smooth transitions, balanced wall dimensions, and structural features help reduce the chance of distortion or dimensional drift. These elements also lower scrap rates and support reliable performance. By using geometry instead of excess material, designers build parts that maintain strength without compromising manufacturability.

As the article concludes, it emphasizes that avoiding thick walls is one of the best ways to improve performance and lower cost. It states that the most dependable custom aluminum components come from designs that use structural features to strengthen the profile. When designers understand how aluminum behaves at each stage of extrusion and machining, they create parts that are strong, efficient, and consistent from batch to batch. This approach turns custom aluminum design into a predictable process rather than a series of uncertain adjustments.
