Current report

Distribution, selling and administrative expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 2.4%, to $52.2 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase is primarily due to an increase in auto & truck expense due to higher fuel cost, insurance, and professional services expenses. The increase is partially offset by lower personnel expenses. Distribution, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 16.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from 16.2% in the same period in 2025.

Current report

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Current report

Net revenue for thesix months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $22.5 million, or 3.7%, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to volume growth and improved pricing in Seafood and Commodity, partially offset by price decrease in Meat & Poultry and volume decreases in Asian Specialty.

Current report

Gross profit was $105.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $106.1 million in the same period in 2025, an decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.5%. The gross profit decreased across most categories primarily due to additional tariff effective beginning the third quarter 2025. The decrease was offset by the IEEPA tariff refund received during the current quarter. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased slightly to 16.6% compared to 17.3% in the same period in 2025.

Current report

Distribution, selling and administrative expenses of $101.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $0.9 million, or 0.9%, in 2026 compared to $100.8 million in 2025, mainly due to increases in auto & truck expenses of $2.0 million and insurance expense of $0.4 million partially offset by a reduction in personnel expense of $0.8 million and professional expenses of $0.6 million. Distribution, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased slightly to 16.0% in 2026 compared to 16.4% in 2025.

Current report

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased slightly to $5.73 million, compared to $5.43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.30 million or 5.6%. The increase was driven by an increase in our average daily line of credit balance of $10.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in our average daily JPMorgan Chase mortgage-secured term loan balance of $7.5 million combined with a slightly lower interest-rate environment. Average floating interest rates on our floating-rate debt for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by approximately 0.5% on the line of credit and 0.7% on the JPMorgan Chase mortgage-secured term loan, compared to 2025. Our average daily line of credit balance was $61.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up from $51.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, while our average daily JPMorgan Chase mortgage-secured term loan balance decreased to $92.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $99.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

Income tax benefit was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to higher income before income taxes and discrete tax expense items related to stock-based compensation shortfalls and the remeasurement of deferred tax assets associated with executive compensation, partially offset by investment tax credits recognized during the period.

Current report

Net income attributable to HF Foods Group Inc. was $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The $4.2 million improvement was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million gain on the Utah building sale, recognition of employee retention credit of $1.8 million including interest, the IEEPA tariff refund of $1.1 million, and a $3.4 million favorable year-over-year change in fair value of interest rate swap. These favorable variances were partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in operating income, a $0.2 million unfavorable change in income taxes, and a $0.8 million year-over-year change in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.
