Elong Power Holding Limited Announces First Half 2026 Financial Results

BEIJING, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elong Power Holding Limited (Elong Power, NASDAQ: ELPW, together with its subsidiaries and consolidated entities, the “Company”) today announced its unaudited financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026 ended June 30, 2026 (the “First Half of 2026”). The Company has completed the divestment of its lithium battery manufacturing business, fully pivoted to an asset-light energy storage system integration business, and completed offerings with aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$20 million, laying a solid funding foundation for its global energy storage market expansion.

First Half 2026 Financial and Operating Highlights

	●	Net revenue was US$2.90 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing a substantial increase of 14,977% from US$19,229 in the same period of the prior year. This growth was primarily attributable to the significant ramp-up in sales of our energy storage system integration equipment and supporting accessories business;
	●	Gross profit was US$8,994 for the first half of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 368% from US$1,923 in the same period of the prior year; gross margin declined from 10.00% in the same period of the prior year to 0.3%, primarily due to the thin-margin operation of the energy storage system integration equipment and supporting accessories sales business in its early stage;
	●	Net income was US$20.49 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared with a net loss of US$2.66 million in the same period of the prior year. This result was driven by a one-time, non-operating gain of US$22.61 million on the disposal of the lithium battery manufacturing business;
	●	Net loss from continuing operations (sales of energy storage system integration equipment and supporting accessories) was US$2.11 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026, widening from a net loss of US$1.42 million in the same period of the prior year;
	●	Both basic and diluted earnings per share were US$411 for the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared with a loss per share of US$3,071 in the same period of the prior year. The per-share amounts give retroactive effect to the 1-for-45 reverse share split effected August 10, 2026, after period end.

Management Commentary

Elong Power’s management stated: “The first half of 2026 marked a significant change in the Company’s business. We completed the divestment of our lithium battery manufacturing business and recognized a non-operating disposal gain, thereby pivoting to an asset-light energy storage system integration business and concentrating resources on the research and development and market development of energy storage products. Meanwhile, the Company completed an approximately US$20 million public market financing during the first half of 2026, providing solid funding support for energy storage product research and development and market promotion, and laying the foundation for the Company’s global energy storage market expansion. We believe that our asset-light model focused on the energy storage integration business will help drive long-term, sustainable value creation for the Company.”

Business Progress and Operational Review

1. Asset Divestment and Strategic Transformation: In March 2026, the Company completed the divestment of its lithium battery manufacturing subsidiary, adopted an asset-light operating model, and focused on the energy storage system integration business, while retaining its research and development, sales and full-lifecycle service capabilities. The disposal gains recognized from the divestment provided the primary support for the turnaround to profitability in the current period.

2. Public Market Financing: The Company completed offerings with aggregated gross proceeds of approximately US$20 million during the first half of 2026, providing funding support for energy storage product research and development and market promotion, and facilitating its global energy storage market expansion.

3. Operating Results: Net revenues in the current period were derived almost entirely from the sales of energy storage system integration equipment and supporting accessories. This business was still in its early stage with an extremely low revenue base in the same period of the prior year. During the current period, the Company focused on expanding its customer base and securing orders for energy storage products, and sales volume increased significantly, driving revenue from US$19,229 to US$2.90 million. Meanwhile, the business is currently a thin-margin business with limited per-unit gross profit. As sales volume grew, the consolidated gross margin declined from 10.00% in the same period of the prior year to 0.3%, with gross profit of only US$8,994, which was insufficient to cover selling, administrative and other operating expenses, resulting in a net loss of US$2.11 million from continuing operations in the current period.
