What Changes Were Implemented at Asaxiy Invest Following the Second-Quarter Results?

For Asaxiy Invest, the end of each quarter is not only a time to publish financial results, but also an important stage for conducting an in-depth analysis of business processes.

In the second quarter of 2026, the profit generated for investors was lower than in the first quarter. We viewed this not only as a final performance indicator, but also as an important signal to review existing processes and improve their efficiency.

Following an analysis of the quarterly results, a number of practical decisions were made regarding the key processes that affect capital turnover, operating expenses, and product profitability.

The Efficiency of Purchasing and Sales Processes Was Improved

One of the key factors affecting performance in a retail business is the speed at which funds circulate.

When purchased goods remain in storage for an extended period, part of the capital remains tied up for that time. The faster a product is sold, the sooner the funds can be reinvested in a new sales cycle. As a result, the same capital can generate greater turnover over a given period.

For this reason, Asaxiy Invest reviewed the entire process, from purchasing goods to their final sale. Coordination was strengthened between procurement planning, demand assessment, warehouse intake, and the placement of products across sales channels.

The main focus was placed on the following objectives:

• reducing the time between purchasing and selling goods;
• shortening the period during which capital remains tied up in the same product categories;
• regularly monitoring sales turnover.

This approach is intended to improve the efficiency of capital use and ensure that funds are more actively involved in business operations.

Operating Expenses Were Reassessed

Profit is directly affected not only by sales volume, but also by the expenses incurred throughout business operations. Therefore, following the second-quarter results, the structure of operating expenses was analysed in detail.

The main objective was not simply to reduce expenses, but to improve the efficiency of how they are used. Cutting costs does not always produce a positive long-term result. The key task is to reduce unnecessary or inefficient expenses without negatively affecting customer experience or the quality of business processes.

Particular attention was paid to logistics expenses. Existing processes related to product storage, transportation, distribution, and delivery to customers were reassessed.

Changes in logistics were focused on the following objectives:

• planning delivery processes more efficiently;
• reducing unnecessary transportation and storage costs;
• improving coordination of product movement;
• monitoring operating expenses associated with each sale.

The purpose of cost optimisation is not to reduce service quality. On the contrary, more efficient use of available resources is expected to strengthen the sustainability of the business model.

The Approach to Product Profitability Was Strengthened

A high sales volume does not always result in sufficient profit. When the profitability of the products being sold remains low, even significant turnover may not deliver the expected financial result.

For this reason, the approach to managing product margins and overall profitability was strengthened.

This does not mean simply increasing product prices. Product profitability is determined by a combination of factors, including the purchase price, delivery expenses, storage period, sales speed, level of demand, and other operating costs.

Within Asaxiy Invest, work is being carried out in the following areas:

• reviewing purchasing terms together with suppliers;
• managing pricing in line with market conditions;
• assessing product sales speed alongside the final profit generated.

The main objective is not to achieve results through short-term price adjustments, but to improve the economic efficiency of each sales transaction.

What Impact Is Expected from These Decisions?

The implemented changes are expected to affect three important business indicators:

1. the speed of capital turnover;
2. the efficiency of operating expenses;
3. the profit generated from each sale.

When products are sold more quickly, capital can be redirected into new sales cycles sooner. When operating expenses are managed more efficiently, a larger share of the value generated through sales is retained. Improved product profitability, in turn, strengthens the impact of overall turnover on the financial result.

These areas do not operate independently of one another. They are interconnected elements of a single business system. Therefore, the changes are also being implemented as part of a comprehensive approach.

Results Will Be Monitored Regularly

The decisions that have been made are not viewed as one-time measures, but as part of an ongoing management process.

Indicators related to capital turnover, inventory levels, logistics expenses, and product profitability will be monitored regularly. Additional adjustments may be introduced depending on the results.

We believe it is important to explain openly to investors not only positive performance indicators, but also the factors that influenced the results and the decisions taken in response.

The fact that the second-quarter results were lower than those of the first quarter was not overlooked. Based on the results, specific areas for improving business efficiency were identified, and practical changes were initiated.

Asaxiy Invest’s Main Priority Is Long-Term Sustainability

At Asaxiy Invest, profit is not strictly guaranteed in advance. The result of each reporting period is shaped by sales turnover, business activity, operating expenses, market conditions, and other factors.

Therefore, our objective is not to artificially increase short-term indicators. Our main goal is to manage capital responsibly, gradually improve the business model, and create long-term value for investors.

The second-quarter results led to a deeper analysis of business processes and accelerated the implementation of necessary changes. During the third quarter, the practical impact of these decisions will be monitored regularly, and the results will be shared openly with investors.

Asaxiy Invest remains committed to open communication with investors, transparent reporting, and responsible capital management.
