The sequential decline of $1.6 million, or 8%, represents the smallest second-to-third quarter decline in the Company's history, reflecting the typical seasonal impact of Chinese New Year-related factory shutdowns. The year-over-year decline reflects the Company's continued strategic shift away from lower-quality cannabis revenue toward regulated nicotine delivery and compliance technologies. Overall, the business continues to stabilize.Gross profit of $2.0 million compared to $4.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and $3.5 million in the prior sequential quarter. Gross margin was impacted by approximately $2.2 million in one-time product returns from legacy cannabis customers with whom the Company has ceased doing business. Gross margin of 10.7% compared to 18.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, is primarily attributable to the approximately $2.2 million one-time product returns from legacy cannabis customers with whom the Company has ceased doing business.Total operating expenses excluding bad debt expense of $5.9 million, a 36% reduction when compared to operating expenses of $9.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, and a 3.7% reduction when compared to operating expenses of $6.1 million in the prior sequential quarter. Bad debt expense was $5.6 million, which is $0.5 million less than the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and $1.4 million more than the prior quarter.Net loss of $9.5 million or ($0.17) per share, a 12.3% decrease, compared to net loss of $10.9 million, or ($0.19) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, and a 44.4% increase compared a net loss of $6.6 million in the prior sequential quarter.Cash: At March 31, 2026, the Company held cash of $18.0 million and working capital of $0.9 million.Conference CallThe Company will conduct a conference call at 8 am ET on Friday, May 7, 2026, to discuss the results, followed by a Q&A session.To listen to the conference call, please dial in using the information below.

Ispire Highlights Economic Impact of New FDA Guidance on Flavored ENDS Unlocking a $50 Billion Market and Driving Significant Potential Asset ValueMarch 16, 2026 8:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

FDA establishes first-ever framework for flavored ENDS, recognizing device level age verification as a regulatory requirementFDA guidance unlocks an estimated $50 billion total addressable market, allowing companies to lawfully transition the 70% illicit flavored vape market into a compliant ecosystemIspire's 40%-owned IKE Tech joint venture is positioned to generate $5 million to $20 million in annual recurring SaaS revenue per customer in the USBased on conservative SaaS metrics, even a limited number of customers could potentially value the IKE joint venture in the hundreds of millions, dramatically increasing Ispire's book valueIspire-backed IKE Tech was first to file component PMTA for continuous, blockchain-enabled age-gating technologyLOS ANGELES, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ispire Technology Inc. ("Ispire" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ISPR), a trailblazer in vaping technology and precision dosing, today highlighted the massive economic value and multi-billion-dollar market opportunity created for its shareholders by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) newly issued draft guidance outlining evidentiary expectations for Premarket Tobacco Product Applications (PMTAs) for flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS).







The FDA's guidance effectively unlocks a $50 billion total addressable market by providing a lawful pathway for flavored vapes, which currently consist largely of illicit products. Ispire's 40%-owned joint venture, IKE Tech LLC ("IKE Tech" or "IKE"), is uniquely positioned to capture this market. IKE's recurring SaaS revenue model is expected to generate $5 million to $20 million annually per customer. Management believes that securing even a limited number of customers could value the IKE joint venture in the hundreds of millions, creating a highly valuable asset on Ispire's balance sheet.The guidance marks the first time the FDA has formally outlined a framework for evaluating flavored ENDS products, recognizing that device-level access technologies — or Device Access Restrictions (DAR) — may factor into whether a product meets the "appropriate for the protection of public health" (APPH) standard for PMTA authorization.The draft guidance highlights DAR technologies such as biometric authentication, geofencing, and continuous age verification as potential safeguards designed to prevent underage use of ENDS devices. FDA also emphasizes that traditional safeguards such as local age restrictions and point-of-sale verification that do not directly prevent youth use may not, when employed alone, sufficiently reduce youth use."We believe this guidance represents a major step toward a technology-enabled regulatory framework for the vapor category," said Michael Wang, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Ispire. "FDA's recognition of Device Access Restrictions validates our long-held position that continuous, device-level age verification can protect youth while preserving adult choice."Ispire has long advocated for technology-driven youth prevention solutions. Through IKE, a joint venture that includes Ispire as a founding partner, the Company has supported the development of advanced identity and authentication systems designed to control device access directly at the point of use, rather than solely at the point of sale.In 2025, IKE Tech submitted the first-ever component PMTA for a standalone, interoperable age-verification technology designed for integration across ENDS devices. The platform combines Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) chips, biometric authentication, and blockchain-secured identity verification to ensure that only verified adult users can activate a device. In a multi-center Human Factors Validation Study submitted with the PMTA, the IKE age-gating technology achieved:100% effectiveness in preventing device activation by underage users100% accuracy in demographic verificationUser error rates below 1%, underscoring ease of use for adults91% user satisfaction with app simplicity and functionalityIn addition to age verification, the IKE technology platform can also support product authentication and anti-counterfeiting capabilities, helping manufacturers and regulators identify illicit or counterfeit devices that bypass regulatory safeguards, evade taxes, and undermine consumer safety.Economic Opportunity and Market Impact
The FDA's draft guidance may immediately unlock access to a multi-billion-dollar segment of the U.S. vapor market. With flavored products representing a substantial portion of consumer demand, the agency's recognition of DAR creates a potential pathway for compliant manufacturers to compete in segments previously dominated by illicit trade.Industry estimates suggest that approximately 70% of the current U.S. vape market consists of illicit or unauthorized products. Data suggests that the total U.S. vapor market is currently around $50 billion annually, when accounting for hard-to-track illicit and unauthorized products. IKE's technological solutions will allow companies to address this massive total market.Over recent months, IKE Tech is actively working with large tobacco companies, leading independent brands, and several of the largest e-cigarette manufacturers to evaluate integration of its technology into flavored PMTA submissions, while also receiving strong inbound interest from manufacturers seeking to bring compliant flavored ENDS products to the U.S. market.Following the FDA's guidance, Ispire believes this framework could also influence global regulatory policy, with several major markets potentially moving toward mandating device-level age verification for ENDS products.IKE's business model is structured as a recurring compliance technology platform, generating SaaS revenue from manufacturers integrating the system into their devices. Each customer using the technology is expected to generate approximately $5 million – $20 million in annual recurring SaaS revenue, alongside recurring per-device hardware sales or firmware licensing fees. Even a limited number of authorized flavored ENDS products incorporating IKE's technology could create significant enterprise value for the platform. About IKE Tech LLC
