Singapore, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WEBUY GLOBAL LTD. (Nasdaq: WBUY) (“Webuy” or the “Company”), a technology-enabled travel services company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Revenue from continuing operations increased 94.4% year-over-year to US$14.31 million, while gross profit increased 131.7% to US$1.83 million. Gross profit margin increased from 10.71% to 12.77%, and total net loss decreased 56.8% to US$3.32 million.

Following the Company's exit from its grocery operations, packaged tours accounted for all revenue from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

First-Half 2026 Financial Highlights

US$ million, except margins	H1 2026	H1 2025	YoY Change
Revenue from Continuing Operations	14.31	7.36	+94.4%
Gross Profit	1.83	0.79	+131.7%
Gross Margin	12.77%	10.71%	+206 bps
Total Net Loss	(3.32)	(7.69)	Narrowed 56.8%

Unaudited results. Comparative figures reflect the reclassification of the Singapore grocery business as discontinued operations.

Packaged-tour revenue increased 106.8% in Singapore and 106.9% in Indonesia. Singapore growth reflected new contributions from Altitude and the Company's MICE division, while Indonesia growth was supported by continued market penetration and demand for outbound travel products.

Management Commentary
Vincent Xue Bin, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Webuy, commented:
“When we made the strategic decision to exit grocery e-commerce and focus on travel, our objective was to build a business with stronger growth potential, improved margins and greater scalability.”

“Our first-half results provide clear financial evidence that our strategic transformation is gaining traction. Revenue nearly doubled, gross profit grew even faster, gross margin expanded and net loss narrowed substantially. These improvements reinforce our confidence in the direction of our travel-focused strategy.”

“We are now advancing our next phase of development, with a focus on China inbound tourism, higher-value private and customized journeys and AI-enabled operations. As we continue developing and integrating AI-enabled tools across sales, itinerary planning, quotation, supplier coordination and customer service, we aim to improve operating efficiency and build a more scalable travel operating model.”

“Our objective is to continue developing a scalable, technology-enabled travel operating platform capable of serving international markets and delivering personalized travel experiences.”

China Inbound Travel Strategy
Webuy is positioning China inbound travel as a key component of its next phase of development through WeTrip, its international China travel platform.

The Company sees opportunities to serve overseas visitors seeking professionally coordinated China travel experiences, including private and customized journeys.

Through WeTrip, the Company intends to develop offerings designed to address aspects of China travel including itinerary planning, language assistance, transportation coordination and on-trip support. The Company also plans to continue integrating AI-enabled capabilities into sales, itinerary planning, quotation and customer service processes with the objective of standardizing traditionally labor-intensive workflows, improving operating efficiency and supporting the scalability of customized travel services.

Second-Half 2026 Business Update
Following the end of the reporting period, the Company reported additional booking activity at the August 2026 NATAS Travel Fair in Singapore. As previously announced, the Company recorded approximately US$4.76 million in preliminary unaudited travel bookings at the event, approximately 42% higher than at the March 2026 event.

Travel bookings represent the gross value of travel products reserved and do not constitute recognized revenue. Such bookings may be subject to cancellation, modification or other adjustments and should not be viewed as an indication of revenue that will ultimately be recognized.

The Company continues to focus on operating efficiency, capital allocation and strategic investment in the development of its travel business.
