CEO Insights
Tony Liu, the Chairman and CEO of Cheetah, addressed the ongoing challenges within the logistics sector. "Our business faced hurdles due to tariff turmoil that has disrupted our operations. We're seeing cautious consumer sentiment and ongoing trade tensions, which have affected international freight and logistics demand significantly. Despite initial signs of market stabilization, we anticipate that the recovery will be slower than we hoped," Liu stated. In response, the company is expanding its labor and logistics services while optimizing funds from previous offerings to ensure operational efficiency.
Operational Performance Overview
The report specifies that the company's logistics and warehousing segment, which included contributions from recently acquired Edward Transit Express Group Inc. and TW & EW Services Inc., accounted for varying revenue figures. Specifically, Edward generated $41,935, representing 11.6% of total revenue, while TWEW accounted for $320,000, or 88.4% of the total revenue for this quarter.
Effects of Trade Relations
Revenue from Edward declined by 31.5% from the previous year, mainly driven by the continuing effects of the trade war between the United States and China. Although some trade negotiations resumed, the overall shipment volume did not reach prior levels due to uncertainties surrounding trade policies and conservative customer ordering behaviors.

Looking at the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Cheetah reported a total revenue of $1,195,860. The breakdown includes $157,134 from Edward and $1,038,726 from TWEW, indicating a similar impact from trade dynamics previously noted.

Cost Management Efforts
The company has focused on reducing its general and administrative expenses, which showed a decline from $2.7 million to approximately $2.6 million over the nine months. This has been facilitated through strategic reductions in hiring and payroll expenses, along with optimizing its operational costs.
