PR Newswire
URUMQI, China, April 4, 2025
URUMQI, China, April 4, 2025 /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, 2024.
Mr. Gang Li, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "In 2024, our revenue experienced a moderate growth, with our stores in China achieving steady sales expansion, particularly in bakery products. Revenue from bakery products in China increased by 18.0%, contributing over 80% to our total revenue. This growth was driven by our continued store expansion in China, with 15 new bakery stores opening in 2024. We are pleased with our annual performance, which reflects our disciplined execution of business strategies and operational adaptability. Notably, we achieved a significant increase in net income, rising from $0.03 million to $0.8 million in fiscal year 2024, while maintaining a solid gross margin of approximately 40%.
Despite the complex macroeconomic environment--marked by uncertainties such as slower economic recovery and shifts in consumption patterns, which impacted the sales of seasonal products and beverages, we have navigated these uncertainties. Our strategic initiatives, including targeted promotions tailored to price-sensitive consumers, contributed to resilient revenue growth and market share expansion. In response to evolving consumer trends, we have diversified our product offerings by introducing freshly brewed coffee, further strengthen our market position.
Looking ahead, we remain confident in our long-term growth and expansion, supported by well-defined strategies and strong execution, which we believe will continue to create greater value for our shareholders and stakeholders."

Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results
Revenue
Total revenue increased by 5.7% to $18.2 million in fiscal year 2024, from $17.3 million in fiscal year 2023. The increase in the revenue was due to increased revenue from stores in China ("China Stores"), which was partially offset by decreased revenue from stores in the United States ("United States Stores").
China Stores
-- Revenue from China Stores increased by 12.8% to $16.1 million in fiscal
year 2024, from $14.3 million in fiscal year 2023. The increase was
mainly due to the increased revenue from bakery products, which was
partially offset by the decrease revenue from other products.
-- Revenue from bakery products increased by 18.0% to $14.8 million in
fiscal year 2024, from $12.5 million in fiscal year 2023. The increase
was mainly attributed to the increased revenue generated by the newly
opened bakery stores, as fifteen bakery stores were opened during the
year ended December 31, 2024. Furthermore, China Stores have focused more
on increasing their market share and there have been increased promotion
activities and price discounts given to the customers, which attracted
more customers to make purchases in the fiscal year 2024.
-- Revenue from other products decreased by 24.3% to $1.3 million in fiscal
year 2024, from $1.8 million in fiscal year 2023, due to decreased
revenue from seasonal products as well as from beverage products. Revenue
from seasonal products decreased by 25.3% to $1.0 million in fiscal year
2024, from $1.3 million in fiscal year 2023, due to the consumption
downgrade during the fiscal year 2024. Revenue from beverage products
decreased by 21.7% to $0.4 million in fiscal year 2024, from 0.5 million
in fiscal year 2023, mainly due to the decreased revenue from one of the
Company's popular coffee bakery stores of approximately $144,000.However,
the decrease in revenue from beverage products was partially offset by
the increased revenue from freshly brewed coffee products, as the China
Stores are focusing on expanding the business of coffee beverages and
more coffee bakery stores were opened in fiscal year 2024.
United States Stores
-- Revenue from United States Stores decreased by 29.1% to $2.1 million in
fiscal year 2024, from $2.9 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was
mainly due to decreased revenue from beverage products and eat-in
services, which was partially offset by the increased revenue from bakery
products.
-- Revenue from bakery products increased by 13.8% to $0.5 million in fiscal
year 2024, from $0.4 million in fiscal year 2023. The increase was due to
the increased revenue from bakery products of approximately $183,000,
generated by Chanson 23rd Street and Chanson Broadway. During fiscal year
2024, the Company upgraded the bakery products, making the products more
appealing to the customers. In addition, as Chanson Broadway opened in
July 2023, twelve months revenue were recognized in fiscal year 2024, as
compared to only six months revenue were recognized in fiscal year 2023.
-- Revenue from beverage products decreased by 25.0% to $1.3 million in
fiscal year 2024, from $1.7 million in fiscal year 2023, primarily due to
the closure of Chanson Greenwich. The decrease was also attributable to
increased competition from competitors operating in the same area. After
the cocktail bars of the United States Stores launched several new types
of cocktail products with new flavors and styles, such products became
popular among customers and the cocktail bars were often fully booked by
reservation. However, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the
Company's competitors operating in the same area also launched many types
of attractive cocktail products, offering customers more choices and
resulting in revenue from beverage products being adversely affected.
-- Revenue from eat-in services decreased by 61.9% to $0.3 million in fiscal
year 2024, from $0.8 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was mainly
due to the decreased revenue from Chanson Greenwich of approximately
$436,000 as a result of the closure of its business as mentioned above.
Moreover, the decrease was due to the decreased revenue from Chanson 23rd
Street of approximately $158,000, as Chanson 23rd Street adjusted its
menu items and customers were adjusting to the new products. Additionally,
the interior design of Chanson 23rd Street was outdated, which made it
harder to attract customer visits. The decrease in revenue from eat-in
services was partially offset by the increased revenue from eat-in
services of approximately $104,000, generated by Chanson 3rd Ave and
Chanson Broadway.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit decreased by 11.7%, to $7.2 million in fiscal year 2024, from $8.1 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue from China Stores, and partially offset by the decrease in revenue from the United States Stores. Gross margin decreased by 7.7 percentage points to 39.5% in fiscal year 2024 from 47.2% in fiscal year 2023.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $7.7 million in fiscal year 2024, compared to $8.8 million in fiscal year 2023.
-- Selling expenses decreased by 2.6%, to $4.8 million in fiscal year 2024,
from $4.9 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the
decreased selling expenses of approximately $245,000 incurred by Chanson
Greenwich, as Chanson Greenwich was closed in the second half of fiscal
year 2023. The decrease was also due to the decreased salary and social
security expenses of approximately $293,000 from the China Stores as a
result of streamlining of headcount to improve the operating efficiency
during fiscal year 2024.
-- General and administrative expenses decreased by 23.4%, to $3.0
million in fiscal year 2024 from $3.9 million in fiscal year 2023. The
decrease was primarily due to the decreased general and administrative
expenses of approximately $659,000 incurred by Chanson Greenwich as
result of its closure as mentioned above. The decrease was also
attributable to the decreased fees paid for professional services such as
financial consulting services in fiscal year 2024.
Net Income
Net income in fiscal year 2024 was $0.8 million, compared to $0.03 million in fiscal year 2023.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share in fiscal year 2024 was $0.05, compared to $0.003 in fiscal year 2023.
