Decent Holding Inc. Reports FY2025 Financial Results

YANTAI, China, March 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Decent Holding Inc. (Nasdaq: DXST) (“Decent“ or the ”Company“), an established wastewater treatment services provider in China, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025.

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Highlights

Mr. Dingxin Sun, Chairman of the Company, commented: “Fiscal year 2025 marked a period of significant top-line expansion for the Company, demonstrating our resilience and adaptability in a fluctuating economic environment. Total revenue grew by 12.2%, driven largely by the successful execution of major wastewater treatment projects, which surged by nearly 69% year-over-year. While our core River Water Quality Management and Product Sales segments experienced slight contractions due to shifting customer procurement cycles, the robust demand for our wastewater services successfully offset these declines. This performance validates our diversified service strategy, even as the revenue mix shifted toward these service-heavy projects.”

“Despite the strong revenue growth, the Company faced pressure on its profitability due to this shift in revenue mix combined with substantial strategic and operational investments. Gross profit margin moderated to 26.2%, primarily because the high-growth wastewater segment carries lower gross profit margins compared to our product sales, which conversely saw margin improvement to 39.1%. More significantly, the swing to a net loss of $0.32 million was driven by a sharp increase in operating expenses. This rise was largely attributable to prudent financial measures, including a $0.9 million increase in provisions for credit losses, alongside higher spending on consulting services and R&D intended to bolster our long-term capabilities.”

“Looking ahead, management is focused on further optimizing the Company’s cost structure and improving operating efficiency while sustaining our revenue momentum. We intend to leverage the increased R&D investments made during the past fiscal year to enhance operational efficiencies and improve margins within our lower-margin service segments. By continuing to expand its project pipeline while maintaining disciplined control over administrative costs and credit risk management, management believes that the Company is well-positioned to strengthen profitability and enhance long-term shareholder value.”
