Globavend Reports Double Digit Growth In Net Income For Fiscal 2024

The Australian e-commerce market is taking off, and all that business seems to also be good for Globavend Holdings Ltd. GVH, a global e-commerce logistics services company that counts Australia as a key market. For its fiscal year 2024, Globavend posted 24% growth in net income year-over-year. 

In addition to a net income of $1.34 million, Globavend reported earnings per share of $0.09 – which is 13% higher than the last fiscal year – on revenue of $16.5 million. Globavend also had a gross profit margin of 14.6% for all of fiscal year 2024. The company also grew its assets over the year while reducing its liabilities and ended the year with close to $3 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to a little over $500,000 last year.

"We are thrilled to announce our financial results for the fiscal year 2024, which reflect our commitment to delivering value to our customers and stakeholders," said Frank Yau, CEO of Globavend. "Our strong net income growth is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, as well as our ability to adapt to the changing market conditions."

Despite Globavend's growth for fiscal 2024, the company traded at a price-to-sales ratio of just 0.69 times following the announcement – this is lower than the 2-3 times price-to-sales typical for logistic companies. Price-to-sales is a metric used in determining market interest and room to grow in terms of value for a company.

Positioning For E-Commerce Growth 

Globavend, which was formed in 2016, is positioning itself as an emerging logistics provider offering end-to-end logistics solutions in Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. The company's customers are made up largely of enterprise e-commerce merchants or operators of e-commerce platforms that provide and support business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions. As an e-commerce logistics provider, Globavend says it provides integrated cross-border logistics services from Hong Kong to Australia and New Zealand, giving customers a one-stop solution – from pre-carriage parcel drop-off to parcel consolidation, air-freight forwarding, customs clearance, on-carriage parcel transportation and delivery.

When Globavend started out in 2016 the world was a lot different. Shopping online was around, but it wasn't until the COVID-19 pandemic that it took off across the globe. Millions of consumers in Australia now purchase everything from apparel to electronics over the Internet. In Australia alone, the e-commerce market is forecast to hit $3.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 23.2% over 2024-2030. It's a market Globavend wants to capitalize on. 

But there are logistical pain points that Globavend has to overcome. A big one is the time it takes for deliveries to get from the business to the home given the sheer size of the country and the geographic distances between cities. That makes same-day and next-day delivery difficult or impossible for many areas of Australia especially when delivering from major cities to rural areas.

Overcoming Obstacles 

Glovavend is aiming to overcome those obstacles, and it's part of the company's value proposition. One way is through its recent cargo block deal with Australia's largest airline. Under the deal the airline will provide Globavend with secured cargo space in its flights to Australia and give it access to the airline’s extensive network and cargo capacity, which opens up its ability to serve customers across Australia. The company expects that to drive growth in fiscal year 2025. 

"This collaboration will not only benefit our customers but also support the growth of e-commerce in the country,” said Yau when announcing the deal late last month. “With its extensive network and our advanced e-commerce platform, we are confident that we can provide a seamless and efficient shopping experience for customers across Australia.” 

Globavend is posting earnings growth, inking deals and positioning itself to capitalize on the e-commerce market in Australia. Stay tuned for more news out of this e-commerce logistics solutions company.
