URUMQI, China, May 1, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Chanson International Holding (Nasdaq: CHSN) (the
"Company" or "Chanson"), a provider of bakery, seasonal, and
beverage products through its chain stores in China and the United
States, today announced its financial results for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2022.
Mr. Gang Li, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "In fiscal year 2022,
we strove to build and maintain our business resilience to offset
the negative impact of the challenging macroeconomic
environment and the resurgence of COVID-19 in China (the "2022
Outbreak"). Therefore, we shifted our focus to our United
States stores and achieved a remarkable year-over-over revenue
growth of 99.6% from them. As a result of our strategic expansion
plans, including the opening of new stores in New York City, we generated significant
revenue growth from bakery products, beverage products, and eat-in
services. Our recent listing on Nasdaq in March 2023 represented a significant milestone
for us and a testament to all the hard work and efforts of our
dedicated team. Looking ahead, we remain committed to expanding our
product selection, opening more stores across the United States, and enhancing our brand
awareness to create more value for our shareholders. We are
grateful for the trust our customers have placed in us and
will continue to develop new products, provide high-quality
services and improve customer satisfaction. We believe our
capabilities and experience position our company well
for long-term growth, and we are confident that our
continued growth and expansion will result in greater success in
the future."
Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results
Revenue
Total revenue decreased by 9.7% to $13.3 million in
fiscal year 2022, from $14.7
million in fiscal year 2021. The decrease in the Company's
revenue was due to lower revenue from its stores in China, which was partially offset by the
increased revenue from its United States stores.
China Stores
- Revenue from China stores decreased by 25.8% to $9.5 million in fiscal year 2022 from
$12.8 million in fiscal year 2021.
The decrease was primarily due to decreased revenue from bakery
products as well as other products.
- Revenue from bakery products decreased by 25.6% to $8.7 million in fiscal year 2022 from
$11.7 million in fiscal year 2021.
The decrease was due to impact by the 2022 Outbreak, which
adversely affected the operations of the China stores and the
production of the central factory starting from August 10, 2022. Additionally, all the China
stores and the central factory were closed between October 5, 2022 and November 30, 2022, during which the China stores
only generated limited online sales and group sales.
- Revenue from other products decreased by 28.6% to $0.8 million in fiscal year 2022 from
$1.1 million in fiscal year 2021,
among which, revenue from seasonal products decreased by 28.6% to
$0.7 million in fiscal year 2022 from
$1.0 million in fiscal year 2021, and
revenue from beverage products decreased by 28.9% to $0.1 million in fiscal year 2022 from
$0.1 million in fiscal year 2021. The
impact of the 2022 Outbreak, as mentioned above, contributed to the
decline in revenue from these products.
United States Stores
- Revenue from United States
stores increased by 99.6% to $3.8
million in fiscal year 2022 from $1.9
million in fiscal year 2021. The increase was due to
increased revenue from beverage products, bakery products, and
eat-in services.
- Revenue from bakery products increased by 29.3% to $0.6 million in fiscal year 2022 from
$0.5 million in fiscal year 2021. The
increase was primarily due to the opening of Chanson 355 Greenwich
LLC ("Chanson Greenwich") in December
2021, a new store that generated an additional $0.25 million in revenue. This increase was
partially offset by a decrease of $0.11
million in revenue from Chanson 23rd Street LLC
("Chanson 23rd Street") due to increased competition
from rival bakery brands that recently opened new stores in
New York City, resulting in
customers having more options and affecting sales of Chanson
23rd Street's bakery products.
- Revenue from beverage products increased by 104.8%, to
$2.0 million in fiscal year 2022 from
$1.0 million in fiscal year 2021. The
increase was mainly due to the $0.6
million increase generated by the newly opened Chanson
Greenwich and the $0.4 million
increase generated by Chanson 23rd Street. Chanson
23rd Street's cocktail bar launched several new types of
cocktail products with a variety of flavors and styles, which
became popular among customers and the cocktail bar was often fully
booked by reservation during weekends. Meanwhile, Chanson
23rd Street managed to increase the prices of its
cocktail products, which resulted in higher revenue.
- Revenue from eat-in services increased by 166.6%, reaching
$1.1 million in fiscal year 2022 from
$0.4 million in fiscal year 2021. The
increase was mainly due to the addition of the new store, Chanson
Greenwich, which generated $0.8
million in increased revenue from eat-in services.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit decreased by 11.9%, to $6.1
million in fiscal year 2022 from $6.9
million in fiscal year 2021, primarily due to the overall
decrease in revenue. Gross margin also decreased slightly by 1.2
percentage points to 46.0% in fiscal year 2022 from 47.2% in fiscal
year 2021.
Operating Expenses
Operating costs were $7.5 million in fiscal year 2022,
compared to $7.4 million in
fiscal year 2021.
- Selling expenses decreased by 10.4%, to $3.7 million in fiscal year 2022 from
$4.1 million in fiscal year 2021. The
decrease in selling expenses was primarily due to the decrease of
$0.6 million from China stores, as
the Company's business operation was adversely affected by the 2022
Outbreak, partially offset by a $0.2
million increase in selling expenses incurred by the newly
opened Chanson Greenwich.
- General and administrative expenses increased by 18.3%, to
$3.8 million in fiscal year 2022 from
$3.2 million in fiscal year 2021. The
increase was primarily due to higher general and administrative
expenses of $0.6 million related to
stores in the United States,
including full-year operating costs of the newly opened Chanson
Greenwich as well as the higher rental expenses for Chanson 1293
3rd Ave LLC and Chanson 2040 Broadway LLC stores during
the renovation period. The increase was partially offset by lower
general and administrative expenses of $42,621 related to stores in China, where business operations were
adversely affected by the 2022 Outbreak.
Net Income (Loss)
Net loss in fiscal year 2022 was $1.3 million, compared to
net income of $0.5 million in
fiscal year 2021.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
Basic and diluted loss per share in fiscal year
2022 was $0.14, compared to basic and diluted earnings
per share of $0.06 in fiscal year 2021.

million, compared to $3.9 million as of December 31,
2021.

Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year
2022 was $0.6 million, compared to $1.8 million in fiscal year 2021.

was $0.9 million, compared to $2.0 million in fiscal
year 2021.

activities of $178,240 in fiscal
