Revenues

 

Total revenues decreased by $72,055,748, or 22.5%, from $319,641,430 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to $247,585,682 for the six months ended December 31, 2025. This decrease in total revenues was primarily driven by lower demand for marine fuels under our bunkering services due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and softer global trade activities, which adversely affected both sales volume and selling price for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

 

Bunkering services – Revenue from bunkering services decreased by 22.6%, from $319,240,251 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, to $247,131,765 for the six months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower sales volume and a decline in average selling prices of marine fuels for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

 

Total bunkered and traded volume decreased by 10.1%, from 574,883 metric ton for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to 516,676 metric ton for the six months ended December 31, 2025. The decline was mainly due to softer demand amid tariff-related developments and geopolitical uncertainties, which led to more cautious purchasing behavior by customers and downward pressure on marine fuel demand.

 

In addition, average global oil price declined by approximately 16.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2025, compared to that for the six months ended December 31, 2024. As our bunkering services operate under a cost-plus pricing model, movements in underlying fuel prices directly impact our selling prices. Accordingly, the combined effect of lower volumes and reduced price levels led to the overall decline in revenue from bunkering services.

 

Ship management services – Revenue from ship management services increased by 13.1%, from $401,179 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, to $453,917 for the six months ended December 31, 2025. The increase was mainly attributable to foreign exchange translation effects. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, revenue remained broadly stable, reflecting consistent underlying business performance for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

   2025   2024   Variance 
   US$   US$   US$   %

Total cost of revenues   246,908,420    308,771,930    (61,863,510)   (20.0)

 

 
 

 

Cost of revenues decreased by $61,863,510, or 20.0%, from $308,771,930 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to $246,908,420 for the six months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower bunker procurement costs, mainly due to reduced purchase volumes reflecting lower demand for bunkering activities. While bunker procurement costs generally move in line with global oil price movements, the reduction in costs for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily volume-driven rather than price-driven, and accounted for the majority of the overall decrease.

 

The decrease was partially offset by higher operational costs associated with bunkering logistics, which includes: (i) increased crew wages due to market-wide labour cost adjustments; (ii) increased transportation and delivery cost at selected ports, primarily driven by higher logistics service rates and pricing fluctuations. In addition, terminal congestion and limited loading slot availability resulted in a greater reliance on truck loading, which is more costly than conventional loading methods, despite the lower level of bunkering activities for the six months ended December 31, 2025; and (iii) higher maintenance and repair costs incurred to maintain vessel operational readiness, safety standards and regulatory compliance. The increase was primarily attributable to more extensive routine maintenance activities and scheduled repairs required to ensure the continued efficient and reliable operation of the vessels. These costs are largely fixed in nature and required to be incurred despite lower bunkering activities for the six months ended December 31, 2025. In addition, the increase in other operating cost reflected a period-over-period baseline effect arising from the timing of actual vendor billings and accrued expenses recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2024, which did not recur for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

 

Gross profit

 

Our gross profit decreased by $10,192,238, or 93.8%, from $10,869,500 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to $677,262 for the six months ended December 31, 2025. Our gross profit margin for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was 0.3%, compared to 3.4% for the six months ended December 31, 2024.

 

The decline in gross profit and gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the lower revenues in light of a challenging operating environment characterized by ongoing tariff tensions and uncertainties in global trade, which adversely affected shipping activities and softened demand for marine fuel. In addition, volatility and the overall decline in global oil prices negatively impacted marine fuel price levels, contributing to reduced gross profit. Furthermore, operation bottleneck and chellenges in bunkering, including vessel schedule delays, increased crew wages, higher transportation charges and inflationary cost pressures, further reduced gross margin from bunkering services. The highly competitive market environment further reduced the premiums charged to customers, compressing spreads between selling prices and procurement costs and limiting our ability to fully pass increased operating costs to customers. As a result, gross profit and gross profit margin declined for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

 

Operating expenses

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $210,136 for the six months ended December 31, 2025, from $52,056 for the six months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher marketing activities, including increased client engagement efforts to support existing customer relationships, expand our customer base and promote our products and services to potential customers for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

Total general and administrative expenses   3,115,828    2,576,691    539,137    20.9 

 

General and administrative expenses increased from $2,576,691 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, to $3,115,828 for the six months ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher advisory and professional service fees associated with investor relations activities, potential merger and acquisition opportunities, and corporate development initiatives undertaken for six months ended December 31, 2025.

 

 
 

 

Management fees paid to our related company, Straits Management Services Sdn. Bhd., represents fees cover management and coordination services provided, including compliance, reporting, governance, corporate secretarial, finance, banking coordination, accounting, and marketing and public relations functions. The amount remained stable for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

 

In addition, staff costs increased by $538,834, or 47.7%, from $1,130,101 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to $1,668,935 for the six months ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to annual salary adjustments and discretionary bonuses and incentive payments for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

 

Other general and administrative expenses also increased by $121,719, or 15.6%, mainly attributable to higher operational support activities of our operation team for the six months ended December 31, 2025. The increase were partially offset by the reversal of expected credit losses on our accounts receivable, following the implementation of scheduled repayment arrangements with our major customers and observed improvement in repayment performance. Based on these arrangements, management reassessed the credit risk profile of the relevant receivables, including updated estimates of probability of default and expected credit loss rates. As a result, certain long-aged receivables previously assessed as higher risk were reclassified under revised risk parameters, leading to a significant reduction in the allowance for expected credit losses.

 

Depreciation

 

Depreciation represents the depreciation on the cost of our vessels, dry-dock cost, tools, office equipment, computer hardware and software, motor vehicles, real property and furniture and fittings. The decrease, from $2,454,329 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to $2,312,612 for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was due to limited capital expenditure, as well as certain existing assets becoming fully depreciated for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

Interest income

 

Interest income represents interest income earned from a related party, late payment interest charge to customers and amounts placed with lender bank of our operating subsidiary, Tumpuan Megah Development Sdn. Bhd. (“Tumpuan Megah”), as a term deposit and in a designated current account. The increase in interest income was due to late payment interest charges to customers of $69,514 incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

 

In addition, interest income earned from a related party, Straits Energy Resources Berhad, increased to $684,628 for the six months ended December 31, 2025, from $375,365 for the six months ended December 31, 2024.

Total sundry expense, net   1,375,610    1,590,610    (215,000)   (13.5)

 

Sundry expense decreased by $215,000 from $1,590,610 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to $1,375,610 for the six months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower foreign exchange losses arising from the strengthening of the Malaysian Ringgit (“RM”) and Singapore Dollar (“SGD”) against the United States Dollar (“USD”), as the majority of our business activities are denominated in USD while the functional currencies of our five subsidiaries remain RM and SGD, resulting in reduced translation losses on USD-denominated balances. In addition, a decrease of $246,207 in miscellaneous income was mainly due to the absence of an adjustment of $157,535 related to the previously recognized value of the acquisition of Straits Marine Fuels & Energy Sdn. Bhd and a revision of prior-year accruals based on actual marketing expenses incurred, amounting to $61,223 for the six months ended December 31, 2024.

 

 
 

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense primarily consisted of interest incurred on trade financing facilities granted to Tumpuan Megah, and interest on term loans to our operating subsidiary, Straits Marine Services Pte. Ltd., which bear interest rates ranging from 5.5% to 7.5% per annum. Interest expense increased by $401,389 to $2,950,209 for the six months ended December 31, 2025, up from $2,548,820 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, was due to a higher utilization of trade facilities to support ongoing bunkering activities for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

 

(Loss) Income before income taxes

 

We recorded loss before income taxes of $8,452,293 and an income before income taxes of $2,043,934 for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The deterioration was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue, compression in gross profit margins, increased interest expense and continued operating cost pressures for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

 

Income tax expense

 

Income tax expense decreased from $1,144,360 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to $84,069 for the six months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by our overall loss position for the six months ended December 31, 2025, driven by the underperformance of our major operating subsidiary. As a result, only minimal current tax expense was incurred, mainly attributable to certain profitable subsidiaries operating in lower-tax jurisdictions.

 

In contrast, for the six months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded higher income tax expense, driven by stronger profitability contributed by two operating subsidiaries in Singapore and Malaysia, which were subject to higher statutory tax rates compared to entities operating in lower-tax jurisdictions.

 

Net (loss) income

 

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income of $899,574 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $9,435,936, or 1,048.9%, to net loss of $8,536,362 for the six months ended December 31, 2025.
