GPO Plus, Inc. reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended January 31, 2025, revealing a revenue increase of 13% to $1.23 million compared to $1.09 million in the same period last year. For the nine-month period, revenues rose by 11% to $3.63 million from $3.28 million. The company achieved a gross profit of $345,911 for the quarter, a significant increase of 115% from $161,170 in the prior year, while gross profit for the nine months was $833,134, up 42% from $585,639. Despite these gains, GPO Plus reported a net loss of $409,331 for the quarter, a 54% improvement from a loss of $883,638 in the same quarter last year. The nine-month net loss was $1.58 million, down 49% from $3.08 million in the previous year.

The company’s operating expenses decreased by 29% to $644,544 for the quarter, primarily due to reduced professional fees and management salaries. For the nine-month period, operating expenses fell by 30% to $2.12 million, reflecting a strategic effort to control costs. The reduction in expenses contributed to a loss from operations of $298,633 for the quarter, a 60% improvement from the previous year, and a loss of $1.28 million for the nine months, down 47% year-over-year.

GPO Plus has been actively expanding its operational capabilities, recently launching a new "White Glove" Direct to Store (DSD) service, which includes enhanced point-of-sale displays for its flagship brands. The company is also focusing on establishing "Mini Hubs" to support its distribution network, aiming to service approximately 1,000 to 1,500 retail locations through its Regional Distribution Hub in Lubbock, Texas. This strategic initiative is expected to enhance the company's market reach and improve service quality.

As of January 31, 2025, GPO Plus reported total current assets of $225,210, a decrease from $564,499 as of April 30, 2024, primarily due to a reduction in inventory and cash. Current liabilities increased to $5.07 million from $4.31 million, leading to a working capital deficit of $4.84 million. The company had cash reserves of $9,838 at the end of the reporting period, down from $69,415 at the start of the fiscal year. GPO Plus continues to face challenges in maintaining sufficient liquidity, necessitating additional capital to support ongoing operations.

Looking ahead, GPO Plus acknowledges the need for further financing to sustain its operations and growth initiatives. The company plans to explore equity and debt financing options, although it cautions that there are no guarantees of success in securing the necessary funds. The management's outlook remains cautious, emphasizing the importance of raising additional capital to continue executing its business strategy and addressing its working capital needs.
