GUANGZHOU, China, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 3 E Network Technology Group Limited (Nasdaq: MASK) (the "Company" or "3e Network"), a business-to-business ("B2B") information technology ("IT") business solutions provider, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2025 ended December 31, 2024.
Dr. Tingjun Yang, Chief Executive Officer and Director of 3e Network, commented: "We are pleased to report a strong performance for the first half of fiscal year 2025. Compared to the same period in the fiscal year 2024, our revenue increased by 5.3%, driven by our ongoing efforts to expand our customer base through innovative software development services. These initiatives also contributed to substantial growth in both gross profit and net income with a growth rate of 49.3% and 56.2% year over year, respectively. Additionally, our gross margin improved significantly from 35.9% in the first half of fiscal year 2024 to 50.9% in the first half of fiscal year 2025.
This remarkable growth reflects our unwavering investment in research and development ("R&D"), which remains a cornerstone of our business development and long-term growth potential. R&D expenses increased by 25.4% compared to the same period in the fiscal year 2024, highlighting our continued commitment to new research projects and product innovation. At the same time, our cost-control strategies proved effective — by outsourcing certain development activities and focusing our resources on high-margin businesses, we achieved a 19.2% reduction in the overall cost of revenue year over year.
Looking ahead, we are confident in the strength and resilience of our current business strategy and operational initiatives, which we believe will support sustained growth and enable further expansion. As a player in the fast-evolving and competitive B2B IT industry, our core competitiveness lies in technical innovation and software customization. Our steadfast commitment to R&D investment will remain the driving force behind our growth trajectory, and we are confident these efforts will continue to generate long-term value for our company and our shareholders."
