EpicQuest Education Reports Impressive Financial Growth
EpicQuest Education Group International Limited, traded on NASDAQ as EEIQ, has recently published their financial results for the first half of the fiscal year 2025, ending March 31, 2025, showcasing significant progress. The company reported a remarkable 29% revenue increase compared to the same period in the previous year, signaling a robust comeback amid a competitive educational landscape. This growth is mainly attributed to the expansion of its international programs, which allow students to commence their education in their home countries, preparing them for further studies in the US, Canada, or the UK.
Key Financial Highlights
The financial results reveal that EpicQuest's revenue climbed to $5.37 million from $4.16 million, reflecting an increase of $1.21 million. This surge marks a pivotal moment for the company as their gross profit also rose to $3.42 million, a 42.5% increase from the previous year's $2.40 million. The gross margin improved to 63.7%, up from 57.7%, suggesting increased efficiency in operations and cost management.
CEO Jianbo Zhang attributed this positive performance to strategic enhancements in the company's operational structure. He highlighted, "Our global recruitment efforts have expanded significantly into markets like China, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, while we’re also introducing initiatives to enroll students from Africa and the Middle East to Davis University."
Operational and Financial Improvements
Aside from revenue growth, EpicQuest managed to reduce its operating expenses to $5.38 million, down from $6.55 million year-over-year, indicating a 17.9% decrease. This reduction in costs was largely driven by a 22.9% drop in general and administrative expenses and efficient cost-reduction strategies. Operating losses were significantly curtailed, decreasing by 52.7% to $1.96 million, a promising signal for investors and stakeholders.
The company also reported a net loss of only $0.16 million compared to $3.52 million in the previous fiscal period—this is a staggering 95.5% reduction.

The ongoing collaboration with Miami University remains a cornerstone of their operations. CEO Jianbo Zhang noted, "Internationalization is a critical driver of our strategic growth. We are committed to providing enriched global learning experiences that empower students to achieve sustainable careers."
The company aims to capitalize on its expanded international student recruitment initiatives and enriched academic offerings to further drive its growth, marking a new era for EpicQuest Education.
