Fly-E Group (FLYE) Q1 2027 earnings summary

Executive summary

• Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, declined 48.4% year-over-year to $2.7 million, primarily due to a significant reduction in retail store count and sales volume, partially offset by increased wholesale revenue from former stores now acting as wholesale customers and a strategic shift to a leaner, asset-light model.

• Net loss widened to $3.9 million from $2.0 million in the prior year period, with negative EBITDA of $3.5 million versus negative $1.3 million last year, driven by lower gross profit, increased general and administrative expenses, and higher expected credit losses.

• The company remains in default on a $5 million credit facility, faces ongoing litigation, and has received a Nasdaq deficiency notice, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

• Gross margin contracted to 10.9% from 42.4% due to a shift toward lower-margin wholesale and inventory clearance discounts.

• Wholesale revenue grew 46.9% year-over-year, partially offsetting the sharp decline in retail sales.
