YYForce Inc. Overview
YYForce is a Singapore-headquartered micro-cap services group. It combines two businesses. The first is an app-based on-demand staffing marketplace (YY Circle). The second is an acquisition-built integrated facility management (IFM) business covering cleaning, security, pest control, property management and façade services. Revenue grew from US$17.5M in FY2021 to US$57.2M in FY2025, a four-year CAGR of about 35%. Growth came from geographic roll-outs of the staffing app and a run of Singapore IFM acquisitions in 2025.
The economics remain those of a labor-intensive contractor. Gross margins sit in the 10–14% band. Since FY2024 the company has posted losses driven by share-based compensation, acquisition impairments and expansion overheads. It has financed itself through repeated equity issuance, including two reverse splits in 2026.
Management's rebrand to YYForce and its "2030 Vision" reposition the group as a human–AI–robotics workforce platform. As of H1 2026, these AI and robotics initiatives had not contributed materially to revenue.
What the company does
YYForce provides two core services to service-sector businesses, mainly in Singapore and Malaysia, with smaller operations elsewhere in Asia and beyond.
Manpower outsourcing (on-demand and full-time staffing)
-
The business is delivered through the YY Circle Super App ("YY App"), launched in June 2019 to digitize the founders' traditional casual-labor agency.
-
Clients post shifts, and registered workers accept them. The company invoices clients and pays workers.
-
Key FY2025 metrics (company releases / FY2025 20-F):
-
903,952 cumulative app downloads and 268,241 total active users at end-2025.
-
Monthly active users of 40,688 and a 95% job fulfillment rate.
-
305 employers served and roughly 12 million man-hours deployed.
-
-
The core client base is hotels, F&B operators, private clubs, MICE/banqueting and retail.
Integrated facility management (IFM)
-
This began in 2018 as a professional cleaning business, built out of the founders' agency, Hong Ye Group.
-
In 2025 it was expanded by acquisition into a multi-service IFM platform:
-
Property Facility Services (property and facility management)
-
Uniforce Security Services (security)
-
Pest Fighter (pest control)
-
the 24iFM software platform
-
-
Services include commercial, hospitality and industrial cleaning, façade cleaning, disinfection, MICE stewarding, pest control, security, landscaping and property management.
-
Smart-cleaning technology includes the Smart iClean IoT toilet-management platform and deployed cleaning robots.
-
FY2025: 274 IFM customers, average revenue per customer of US$119,887, and 612 active cleaners.
Other services
-
Web design, development and digital marketing through Mediaplus Venture Group (54% owned).
-
Rental income from investment properties.
-
YY Smart Tech (IT services).
-
Since August 2026, a supply-chain unit (YY Logitech) and a 95%-owned Singapore distributor.
Business model and revenue model
The company's revenue is overwhelmingly service revenue. There is no material product, subscription or licensing revenue.
Manpower: billed largely by hours or shifts deployed. Gross margin was 13.8% in FY2025 and 15.5% in FY2024.
IFM: generally multi-year headcount-based or performance-based service contracts. Gross margin was 13.2% in FY2025 and 10.8% in FY2024.
Software: the 24iFM platform and the Smart iClean app are positioned as enablers of the service contracts. The company does not report separate software subscription revenue.
New models: the 2030 Vision contemplates Robotics-as-a-Service and leasing, and a services marketplace with lifestyle advertising inside 24iFM (announced 8 October 2026). None was revenue-material as of H1 2026.
Working-capital profile. The FY2025 20-F states that customers typically pay one to two months after service, while app workers are paid within a week. Days sales outstanding have run at about 80–85 days. Growth therefore consumes cash.
Value-chain position, customers and end-markets
| Top-five customer share of segment revenue (%) | FY2023 | FY2024 | FY2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manpower outsourcing (%) | 35 | 28 | 23 |
| IFM (%) | 31 | 27 | 21 |
YYForce is a labor intermediary and outsourced service contractor. It sits between building owners/operators and hospitality operators on one side and a flexible workforce on the other.
End-markets: hospitality (hotels, F&B, clubs), MICE, retail and shopping malls, transportation, banking, mixed-use developments, education, and residential/commercial property.
Customer base: 1,054 customers at 31 December 2025 across all businesses (FY2025 20-F). Of these, 274 were IFM and 305 were manpower; the remainder relate to other services.
Concentration: is moderate and declining (FY2025 20-F):
Company self-description versus independent characterization
Company's description. In the FY2025 20-F, the company calls itself a data- and technology-driven company developing enterprise intelligent labor matching and smart cleaning services. Since September 2026 it has described itself as an "AI-enabled workforce management platform and integrated facility management provider." Its stated ambition is to evolve from intelligent decision support toward increasingly autonomous workforce management.
Independent characterization. On the financial evidence, YYForce is a staffing and contract-cleaning/IFM roll-up with a consumer-grade job-matching app. Its characteristics:
-
Thin gross margins (10–14%).
-
R&D expense reported as zero in every year.
-
Customer-acquisition-driven overseas staffing expansion, partly reversed in 2025–26.
-
A capital structure dominated by equity issuance and founder super-voting control.
The AI, robotics and humanoid narrative is real in the sense of pilots, a robotics center and partnerships. It is not yet visible in revenue or margins: H1 2026 gross margin fell to 10.1%.
Strategy
Stated strategy themes
YYForce 2030 Vision (22 September 2026): - Goal: a "Future Workforce Solutions" model integrating human workers, AI-enabled workforce management, smart facility management, automation and robotics, so that each task is done by the person or technology best suited to it.
-
Its building blocks are listed in 10.2.
-
Management acknowledged these initiatives were not revenue-material in H1 2026.
-
Transition from labor-intensive contractor to integrated workforce provider, with stated focus on margin improvement, operating efficiency and disciplined capital allocation (CEO, H1 2026 release).
Margin restoration (H2 2026 priority, per the CFO): - reprice contracts at renewal;
-
renegotiate or exit loss-making engagements;
-
tighten scheduling to cut unbilled hours;
-
deploy digital and automation tools.
Cost optimization (late 2025 to early 2026): debt restructuring, headquarters optimization and rationalization of global subsidiaries.
Capital allocation hierarchy (H1 2026): 1. Liquidity for operations and obligations.
- Then selective investment in technology, robotics, data infrastructure, geographic expansion, partnerships and M&A.
- Partnerships, leasing and pilots are to be used to limit upfront capital.

Financial Narrative
Basis: FY2024–FY2025 operating and net figures are company-reported (FY2025 release and 20-F). FY2021–FY2023 figures are from SEC-sourced aggregator data (VCP Scanner) and reconcile to the FY2023 release for revenue (US$31.77M) and profit (US$0.864M). All USD.
Income statement
Notes:
-
FY2025 EBITDA is operating loss plus D&A, which includes the US$9.6M impairment. On the aggregator basis, which excludes impairment and fair-value items, FY2025 EBITDA is −US$12.41M and operating income is −US$13.34M.
-
The FY2025 non-IFRS net loss adds back SBC (US$6.60M) and impairments (US$9.61M), and excludes a US$2.38M warrant fair-value gain and a US$0.04M investment-property gain.
-
FY2025 operating loss includes a US$2.38M gain on warrant fair value. Excluding that gain, the core operating loss was larger.
EPS (not comparable across years because of the reverse splits)
Margins and growth
Revenue CAGR: FY2021–FY2025 (four years) about 34.6%; FY2022–FY2025 (three years) about 41.9%.
Half-year P&L
Sources: H1 2026 release. H2 2025 gross profit and operating loss are derived from FY2025 less H1 2025. H1 2026 includes a US$2.62M net loss on convertible notes and a US$1.73M gain on warrant liabilities.
Trend commentary.
FY2021–FY2023: a small, profitable agency. Net margins were 2–4% and growth came from post-COVID hospitality recovery: revenue rose about 59% in FY2023 as Singapore hospitality and MICE demand returned.
FY2024 inflection: Revenue rose 29%, but the company swung to a US$4.84M loss.
-
The swing came from US$5.16M of share-based compensation after the IPO, plus public-company costs and new overseas subsidiaries.
-
Excluding SBC, the company was roughly break-even (non-IFRS net profit about US$0.3M).
FY2025: Revenue grew 39%, helped by acquisitions, and gross margin improved 100bp to 13.8%.
-
Operating loss widened to US$20.6M because of US$6.6M of SBC, US$9.6M of impairments tied to exiting underperforming overseas subsidiaries, and higher G&A.
-
The non-IFRS loss of US$7.6M shows the underlying business was loss-making even before non-cash items.
H1 2026: - Revenue growth slowed to 26.8%.
-
Gross margin collapsed to 10.1% from 16.6% as casual-labor wages outran billing rates.
-
The operating loss narrowed (no impairment in the period), but the non-IFRS operating loss was still US$2.74M.
-
Management withdrew FY2026 guidance (US$103–110M revenue, non-IFRS profitability) just six months after issuing it.
Balance sheet
Discrepancy: the company's Dec-2025 statement shows loans and borrowings of US$6.00M (US$5.38M current plus US$0.63M non-current) and lease liabilities of US$1.53M. Simply Wall St reports total debt of US$6.5M, while VCP Scanner reports US$8.04M. The definitions differ.
Interim balance sheet (company-reported, unaudited)
Commentary.
-
The balance sheet more than doubled in FY2025 as acquisitions added US$11.0M of goodwill and intangibles. This was after US$9.6M of impairments.
-
Liquidity was thin at end-2025: cash of US$1.5M, a current ratio of 0.90 and negative working capital.
The H1 2026 repair was funded by equity: US$18.55M of ATM proceeds paid down payables and lifted equity to US$25.4M. Operating cash burn in the period was US$11.0M.
Related-party receivable: "Amount due from related parties" rose eightfold to US$4.05M (about 16% of equity). This warrants scrutiny; its nature is not explained in retrieved sources.
Cash flow
Source: VCP Scanner (SEC-sourced). FY2025 cash flow shows a net US$0.39M acquisition inflow, meaning cash acquired exceeded cash consideration. This implies the 2025 acquisitions were largely settled in shares or deferred consideration; the terms are not publicly disclosed in retrieved sources.
Ratios
Notes:
-
Ratios are analyst calculations from the tables above. FY2021 ROA uses end-period assets. ROE for FY2021–FY2022 is not meaningful because equity was near zero or negative.
-
Net debt/EBITDA is not meaningful for FY2024–FY2025 because EBITDA was negative.
-
There is no inventory, so CCC = DSO − DPO.
-
At 30 June 2026 the current ratio was 2.11x.
Ratio commentary.
Pre-IPO returns were high but on a tiny equity base: - Equity was negative at end-2021, so headline returns overstate quality.
-
Asset turnover fell from 3.4x to 1.7x as acquisitions loaded goodwill onto the balance sheet.
-
The cash conversion cycle of about 60–74 days structurally consumes cash. Workers are paid weekly while clients pay in 1–2 months. This is the key reason revenue growth has not produced operating cash.
Since FY2024 coverage ratios have been negative,: and the company depends on equity markets for liquidity.

Analyst Conclusions
Guidance and consensus
Management guidance: none in force. The FY2026 outlook (US$103–110M revenue and non-IFRS profitability) was withdrawn on 24 September 2026. An updated outlook is expected with FY2026 results.
Arithmetic check on the withdrawn target: H1 2026 revenue of US$32.7M implied H2 revenue of about US$70–77M, more than double H2 2025 (US$31.5M).
Consensus: none (no sell-side coverage).
Bull case
-
Margin repair from repricing plus contracted growth. If repricing restores gross margin toward the FY2025 level of 13.8%, the H1 2026 run-rate revenue of about US$65M annualized implies roughly US$2.4M of extra annual gross profit. The S$15.96M of new contracts add about S$5.6M of year-one revenue. Together these could narrow the non-IFRS operating loss (US$2.74M in H1 2026) toward break-even.
-
The balance sheet is no longer the binding constraint. Working capital is US$11.9M, liabilities fell 39%, and no warrants or convertibles remain. Equity of US$25.4M against a market capitalization of roughly US$5–12M gives asymmetric upside if losses stop.
-
Platform optionality. Profitable monetization of 24iFM (marketplace and advertising), RaaS robotics or the AI data lab would add revenue at gross margins far above the 10–14% services base. The installed base of about 1,054 customers and about 268k active app users provides distribution.
Bear case
-
No demonstrated pricing power. Gross margin fell 650bp year on year in H1 2026 despite 26.8% revenue growth. Growth may be buying volume at a loss, and wage regulation limits cost relief.
-
Serial dilution and listing fragility.
-
Two reverse splits within three months and a 1-year return of about −99.95%.
-
Post-September 2026 trading near US$1 and heavy reliance on equity issuance.
-
Founder super-voting control, plus home-country exemptions from shareholder approval of issuance.
-
Together these point to further dilution.
-
-
Credibility and governance.
-
Guidance was withdrawn after six months, and acquisitions were impaired within the year.
-
Frequent strategy pivots: overseas expansion and then exit; staffing, then IFM, then AI and humanoid robotics.
-
A US$4.05M related-party receivable, board turnover and a combined Chair/CEO.
-
These raise the discount investors should apply to management targets.
-
Catalysts and monitorables (next 12 months)
| Item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| H2 2026 gross margin and FY2026 results (expected about March–April 2027) | Test of the repricing program; new guidance |
| Nasdaq bid-price compliance | Price near the US$1 threshold; risk of another deficiency or reverse split |
| Cash runway and any new ATM or financing | Operating burn of about US$11M in H1 2026 versus US$3.08M cash at 30 June 2026 |
| Related-party receivable (US$4.05M) | Nature, collection, board oversight |
| Commencement of the S$15.96M contracts (October 2026) | Revenue conversion in H2 2026 and FY2027 |
| Robotics and RaaS revenue disclosure | Evidence the 2030 Vision is monetizing |
| Portfolio rationalization (overseas exits; US entry) | Cost base versus growth |
| M&A (distributor; further IFM bolt-ons) | Accretion versus dilution; impairment risk |
| Executive and board stability | Davison and Ng onboarding; independent-director continuity |
Analyst verdict
YYForce is a genuine operating business with real customers, real contracts and real growth. Revenue has more than tripled in four years to US$57M, IFM customers doubled in 2025, and the staffing app has meaningful penetration of Singapore hospitality. At its core, however, the company remains a low-margin labor contractor. It has not shown that it can grow profitably.
The evidence since listing is unfavorable. Gross margin fell to 10.1% in H1 2026 as wages outran prices, and the non-IFRS business still loses money. Operating cash flow has been negative for two and a half years. Ambitious guidance issued in March 2026 was abandoned in September.
The H1 2026 recapitalization fixed the balance sheet, at a heavy cost to shareholders. That cost came through an ATM program, toxic-structure convertibles that have since been retired, and two reverse splits totaling 1-for-1,500.
The AI, robotics and humanoid repositioning under the YYForce name provides narrative optionality. Management itself states these initiatives were not revenue-material. The market has so far greeted robotics announcements with sharp sell-offs rather than re-rating.
Governance concentration makes the investment case weaker still. Founder control runs through 500-vote shares, the Chair/CEO role is combined, and a spouse sits on the board. Home-country exemptions from shareholder approval of share issuance and a rising related-party receivable compound this.
The apparent discount to book value is less compelling once intangibles and related-party balances are stripped out.
Overall assessment: speculative, high risk. A constructive view would require three pieces of evidence:
-
H2 2026 gross margin recovering toward 13–14%.
-
Sustained positive non-IFRS operating income.
-
No further dilutive financing.
Until those appear, the shares are best treated as a high-volatility option on management's ability to reprice contracts and monetize automation. They are not a fundamentally supported equity. Monitor the FY2026 results, cash runway and Nasdaq compliance closely.
