SINGAPORE, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YYForce Inc. (Nasdaq: YFOR) ("YYForce" or the "Company," formerly YY Group Holding Limited (Nasdaq: YYGH)), an AI-enabled workforce management platform and integrated facility management (IFM) provider operating across Asia and beyond, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
YYForce reported first-half 2026 revenue of approximately US$32.7 million, an increase of 26.8% from US$25.8 million for the corresponding period in 2025. The Company views the continued expansion of its workforce and IFM businesses as the operating foundation for its “YYForce 2030 Vision,” a long-term strategy to build an integrated workforce ecosystem connecting human workers, artificial intelligence ("AI"), humanoid robots and specialized service robotics.
First Half 2026 Highlights
- Revenue increased 26.8% year over year to US$32.66 million from US$25.75 million.
- Manpower outsourcing revenue increased 62.4% year over year to US$15.55 million.

- Gross profit was US$3.30 million and gross profit margin was 10.1%, compared with US$4.27 million and 16.6%, respectively, in the prior-year period, with the decrease primarily attributable to higher labor costs.
- Operating loss narrowed 32.2% year over year to US$5.21 million from US$7.68 million, primarily reflecting the absence of a US$4.06 million impairment loss on intangible asset recognized in the prior-year period.
- Operating loss as a percentage of revenue improved to 15.9% from 29.8% in the prior-year period.
- Net loss narrowed 13.8% year over year to US$7.06 million from US$8.20 million.

- Total liabilities decreased to approximately US$12.66 million from US$20.73 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting the settlement of trade and other payables and the reduction of warrant liabilities.

Management Commentary
Mike Fu, CEO of YYForce, commented: “We delivered year-over-year revenue growth of 26.8% in the first half of 2026, led by a 62.4% increase in manpower outsourcing revenue and continued expansion of our IFM operations. Beyond scaling our existing service businesses, we are laying the foundation for building a future workforce environment in which people, artificial intelligence, smart facilities, automation and robotics can increasingly work together. We are piloting service robots and plan to deploy our first agentic AI workflows and launch an AI training data lab — early steps toward operations where every task is carried out by the person or technology best suited to perform it. Meanwhile, our growing workforce and IFM operations provide the customer relationships, workforce infrastructure, facilities and real operating environments we need to validate and commercialize these technologies. As we move toward 2030, we expect YYForce to evolve from a labor-intensive service provider toward an integrated workforce service provider ready for the future, focusing on margin improvement, operating efficiency and disciplined capital allocation to create value for our stakeholders.”
Jason Phua, CFO of YYForce, added, "This period’s revenue growth came with margin pressure. Hourly wages for casual workers rose faster than our billing rates. As a result, our gross profit margin narrowed to 10.1% from 16.6%. We are addressing this directly: repricing contracts as they come up for renewal, renegotiating or exiting engagements that no longer cover their cost, tightening scheduling to reduce unbilled hours, and evaluating technology-enabled, digital and automation solutions to improve productivity. We also improved our capital structure and working capital position, ending the half with working capital of US$11.9 million compared with a deficit at the end of 2025, and reducing total liabilities by 39%. Restoring gross profit margin is our priority for the second half of 2026, and we will report our progress with our full-year results.”
First Half 2026 Financial Results
Total Revenue was US$32.7 million in the first half of 2026, up 26.8% from US$25.8 million in the same period of 2025.
- Revenue from manpower outsourcing increased 62.4% to US$15.55 million from US$9.58 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to stronger customer demand in Singapore and Malaysia and contributions from our Hong Kong and Thailand subsidiaries.
- Revenue from IFM increased 11.1% to US$16.06 million from US$14.46 million in the same period of 2025. Growth was supported by new contract wins, renewals of existing projects and full-period contributions from subsidiaries acquired in 2025, including Property Facility Services Pte. Ltd. and Uniforce Security Services Pte. Ltd.
Gross profit was approximately US$3.30 million, compared with US$4.27 million for the first half of 2025. Gross profit margin was approximately 10.1%, compared with 16.6% in the prior-year period. The decrease was principally attributable to higher labor costs across the Company’s IFM and manpower outsourcing businesses, including higher hourly wage rates for casual workers.
Operating loss decreased 32.2% to approximately US$5.21 million, compared with US$7.68 million in the corresponding period in 2025, primarily reflecting the absence of the US$4.06 million impairment loss on intangible asset recognized in the first half of 2025. Operating loss as a percentage of revenue improved to approximately 15.9%, compared with 29.8% for the corresponding period in 2025.
Net loss decreased 13.8% to approximately US$7.06 million, compared with US$8.20 million in the prior-year period. Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share was US$13.62, compared with US$311.00 in the first half of 2025. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 50-for-1 and 30-for-1 reverse share splits effected on March 23, 2026 and June 23, 2026, respectively. First-half 2026 results also included a US$2.62 million net loss related to convertible notes and a US$1.73 million net gain related to warrant liabilities.
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately US$10.99 million for the first half of 2026, compared with US$0.63 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the operating loss and the settlement of trade and other payables.
During the first half of 2026, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately US$16.29 million. Financing inflows included approximately US$18.55 million from the issuance of Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Company's At-The-Market equity offering and proceeds from other financing activities.
YYForce intends to maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation as it balances working-capital requirements, existing operations and investments supporting future growth.
YYForce 2030 Vision and Capital Allocation Strategy
On September 22, 2026, YYForce announced its 2030 Vision, its long-term roadmap for building a Future Workforce Solutions model integrating human workforce capabilities, AI-enabled workforce management, smart facility management technologies, automation and robotics. The plan builds on the Company's existing businesses: YY Circle and Yolara AI applications for on-demand staffing and workforce solutions, humanoid and specialized service robotics offered through leasing and Robotics-as-a-Service ("RaaS") arrangements, and smart facility management solutions through its 24iFM platform, IoT devices, sensors, smart cameras and automation technologies. Yolara AI is intended to support deployment planning, workflow integration, human-team coordination and ongoing operational support across these solutions. These AI, automation and robotics initiatives did not contribute materially to revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
YYForce's first capital allocation priority is maintaining sufficient liquidity for its existing operations, working capital needs and contractual obligations. Subject to these requirements, the Company may evaluate investments across workforce and smart facility management technology, software development, operational automation, commercial robotics, data infrastructure, geographic expansion, strategic partnerships and acquisitions. The Company expects to use partnerships, leasing arrangements and customer pilot programs to limit upfront capital commitments, and will evaluate each investment based on customer demand, technology readiness and expected returns.
FY2026 Guidance
In light of labor cost pressures in the first half of 2026, the Company is withdrawing the fiscal year 2026 outlook it issued on March 12, 2026. The Company expects to provide an updated outlook with its full-year 2026 results. Investors should no longer rely on the previously announced projections as representing the Company’s current expectations.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company uses non-IFRS measures such as non-IFRS net loss/profit in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that non-IFRS financial measures help identify underlying trends in the Company's business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that the Company includes in its results for the period. The Company believes that non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information about its results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making. Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to IFRS financial measures or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance.
The Company’s non-IFRS measures exclude consultancy fees, convertible notes related expenses, one-time accounting adjustments, and changes in the fair value of convertible notes and warrant liabilities. The complete reconciliation is presented below. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation together with the Company's IFRS financial statements and not rely on any single financial measure. Non-IFRS financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
