SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements about our current expectations and views of future events. These forward-looking statements relate to events that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these statements.
You can identify some of these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to,” “propose,” “potential,” “continue” or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. The forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report relate to, among other things:
•our goals;
•our business and operating strategies and plans for the development of existing and new businesses, ability to implement such strategies and plans and expected time;
•our ability to realize the expected benefits of our acquisitions;
•our expectation regarding the prospects of our business model;
•our future business development, financial condition and results of operations;
•expected changes in our revenues, costs or expenditures;
•our dividend policy;
•our expectations regarding the effectiveness of our marketing initiatives and the demand for and market acceptance of our products and services;
•our expectations regarding our relationships with customers and business partners;
•the trends in, expected growth in and market size of our industry globally;
•our ability to maintain and enhance our market position;
•our ability to continue to develop new technologies and/or upgrade our existing technologies;
•developments in, or changes to, laws, regulations, governmental policies, incentives and taxation affecting our operations, in particular in the markets we are in;
•relevant governmental policies and regulations relating to our businesses and industry;
•competitive environment, competitive landscape and potential competitor behavior in our industry; overall industry outlook in our industry;
•our ability to attract, train and retain executives and other employees;
•our proposed use of proceeds from any of our future offerings;
•the development of the global financial and capital markets;
•fluctuations in inflation, interest rates and exchange rates;
•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other pandemics or epidemics, to our business operations and the economy in the U.S. and elsewhere generally;
•general business, political, social and economic conditions in the U.S. and other markets we have business; and
•assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing.
These forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that our expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, our actual results could be materially different from our expectations. Important risks and factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from our expectations are generally set forth in “Summary of Risk Factors,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Item 1. Business,” “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 3, 2025, or the 2024 Form 10-K, and other sections in this quarterly report. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You should read thoroughly this quarterly report and the documents that we refer to with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
This quarterly report may contain information derived from various government and private publications. These publications include forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although we believe the data and information to be reliable, we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data and information contained in these publications. Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions. Our industry may not grow at the rate projected by market data, or at all. Failure of the market to grow at the projected rate may have a material and adverse effect on our business and the market price of our Class A ordinary shares. In addition, projections or estimates about our business and financial prospects involve significant risks and uncertainties. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data are later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Class A Ordinary Shares—This annual report may contain certain industry data and information that were obtained from third-party sources and were not independently verified by us” in the 2024 Form 10-K. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on these statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report are made based on events and information as of the date of this quarterly report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this quarterly report and the documents that we refer to in this quarterly report and have filed as exhibits to this quarterly report, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results or performance may materially differ from what we expect.

Concentration and Risk
Concentration of customers and suppliers
No customers individually represented greater than 10.0% of total revenues of the Group for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
One customer individually represented greater than 10.0% of total accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and no other customers accounted for 10.0% or more of total accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Customer A | 19.4 | % | | 19.7 | % |
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, one service provider individually represented 19.1% and 17.7% of total purchases, and no other vendors individually accounted for 10.0% or more of total purchases.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, investments, accounts receivable, and amounts due from third-party payment platforms.
The Group’s investment policy requires cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments to be placed with high quality financial institutions and to limit the amount of credit risk from any one institution. The Group regularly evaluates the credit standing of the counterparties or financial institutions.
Accounts receivable (Note 3) from product and service sales are exposed to credit risk. The assessment of the counter parties’ creditworthiness is primarily based on past payment history and current ability to pay, taking into account information specific to the counter parties as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the counter parties operate. Segment Reporting
The Group’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the chief executive officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group. For the purposes of internal reporting and management’s operational review, the Group’s chief executive officer and management personnel do not segregate the Group’s business by revenue stream or geography. Management has determined that the Group has one operating segment. The measurement of segment assets is reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets. The revenue, costs and expenses, and the net income for the reportable segment are the same as those presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive Income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, amending existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Group is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU amends existing income statement disclosure guidance, primarily requiring disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the ASU can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Group is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Change in Accounting Principle
In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Group voluntarily changed the method of accounting for last-mile fulfillment activities associated with 1P product sales in certain regions from applying the policy election to account for shipping services as fulfillment activities to recognizing last-mile shipping as a promised service, which the Group determined to be a separate performance obligation. The change was made due to the introduction of new GigaCloud marketplace functionalities that provide added flexibility for marketplace buyers when electing last-mile services.
The Group believes that this change in accounting method is preferable, as it results in a disaggregation of revenue and related costs that provides more transparency to users of its financial statements and is more aligned with the nature of marketplace transactions. In accordance with US GAAP, comparable periods presented have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the change. This change did not have any material impact to the Group's prior period net income or earnings per share, and as such the Group did not retroactively adjust prior periods for such immaterial effects.
Certain financial statement line items included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were adjusted as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to our prior period's financial statements to conform to our current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
2.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Group utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Group determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. The carrying amounts for the Group’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:
•Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full-term of the asset or liability.
•Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
Investments and cash equivalents are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of March 31, 2025, investments in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include time deposits, with maturity of three months to 12 months.
All fixed income securities are classified as available-for-sale with unrealized gains and losses included in “accumulated other comprehensive income or loss”. The related unrealized gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income were $1 thousand and nil as of March 31, 2025 and 2024. No realized gains or losses were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

5.LEASES
The Group leases its office space, fulfillment centers and other facilities under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates. The Group also has equipment that is leased under non-cancelable finance leases. The Group considers various factors such as market conditions and the terms of any renewal options that may exist to determine whether it will renew or replace the lease. In the event the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend a lease, the Group will include the extended terms in the operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability. Certain storage shelves and certain forklifts used in the fulfillment centers are leased under finance leases, which have a fixed lease term of three to five years from the lease commencement dates. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Group recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The gross amounts of assets and liabilities related to both operating and finance leases are as follows:

Contract liabilities relate to considerations received in advance for merchandise sales and services provided for which control of the services occur at a later point in time. The contract liabilities will be recognized as revenue when the Group fulfills its performance obligations to transfer the promised products or services to customers, which is expected to occur within one year.

Overview
We are a pioneer of global end-to-end B2B ecommerce solutions for large parcel merchandise. We generate revenues primarily through three revenue streams:
•GigaCloud 3P: generates service revenues, including revenues from platform commission, ocean transportation service, drayage service, warehousing service, last-mile delivery service, packaging service and others, by facilitating transactions between sellers and buyers in our GigaCloud Marketplace.
•GigaCloud 1P: generates product revenues through the sale of our inventory in our GigaCloud Marketplace.
•Off-platform ecommerce: generates product revenues through the sale of our inventory to and through third-party ecommerce websites.
GMV from GigaCloud 3P and GigaCloud 1P together make up our GigaCloud Marketplace GMV, and GMV from off-platform ecommerce and GigaCloud Marketplace GMV together make up our total GMV across the platforms. These three revenue streams complement each other to improve our value proposition to sellers and buyers in our GigaCloud Marketplace.

GigaCloud Marketplace GMV
The growth in GigaCloud Marketplace GMV, including GMV from both GigaCloud 3P and GigaCloud 1P, reflects our ability to attract and retain sellers and buyers in the GigaCloud Marketplace. The revenues we generate in our marketplace are highly correlated to the amount of GMV transacted in the GigaCloud Marketplace.
GigaCloud Marketplace GMV increased to $1,416.7 million in the 12 months ended March 31, 2025 from $907.7 million in the 12 months ended March 31, 2024, representing a growth of 56.1% period-over-period, primarily due to the continued increase in the numbers of sellers and buyers transacting in our marketplace as our marketplace continued to gain scale and market position.
Active 3P Sellers
The number of active 3P sellers in the GigaCloud Marketplace increased to 1,154 in the 12 months ended March 31, 2025 from 865 in the 12 months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 33.4% period-over-period. We view active 3P sellers as a key driver of the product catalog in our marketplace, which helps attract and retain buyers. The GigaCloud Marketplace offers SKUs across furniture, home appliances, fitness equipment and other large parcel categories from our active 3P sellers. The number of SKUs increased to 37,146 as of March 31, 2025 from 35,649 as of December 31, 2024. We expect to grow the number of active 3P sellers through geographic expansion, suppliers outreach, marketing initiatives, referrals, and word-of-mouth. We also leverage our 1P inventory sales to establish new markets, reducing the risk in geographic expansion for new sellers, and increasing the appeal for new sellers to join our marketplace.
3P Seller GigaCloud Marketplace GMV
3P Seller GigaCloud Marketplace GMV represents the GMV our 3P Sellers transact in the GigaCloud Marketplace. 3P Seller GigaCloud Marketplace GMV was $734.3 million in the 12 months ended March 31, 2025 and $489.9 million in the 12 months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 49.9% period-over-period. 3P Seller GigaCloud Marketplace GMV represented 51.8% and 54.0% of total GigaCloud Marketplace GMV in the 12 months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Active Buyers
The number of active buyers in the GigaCloud Marketplace increased to 9,966 in the 12 months ended March 31, 2025 from 5,493 in the 12 months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 81.4% period-over-period. We view the number of active buyers as a key driver of our GigaCloud Marketplace GMV and revenue growth, and a key indicator of our ability to attract and engage buyers in our marketplace. We plan to expand our active buyers by enhancing our marketplace product categories, and leveraging referrals from existing users.
Spend Per Active Buyer
The spend per active buyer in our GigaCloud Marketplace decreased to $142,156 in the 12 months ended March 31, 2025 from $165,239 in the 12 months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of 14.0% period-over-period. Spend per active buyer is a key driver of GMV and revenue for our GigaCloud Marketplace. We generally grow spend per active buyer by expanding our product categories, increasing buyers’ purchase frequency and raising the average price per purchase. The slight decrease in spend per active buyer in the 12 months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to a higher number of new buyers onboarded during the period, who generally require time to increase their spending in our GigaCloud Marketplace.
Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Key factors affecting our results of operations include the following:
Our Ability to Attract and Retain Sellers
Sellers in our marketplace are typically manufacturers operating in Asia who are able to use our supply chain capabilities to establish overseas sales channels without having to invest in their own logistics or fulfillment centers overseas. We are focused on growing and retaining the number of sellers who choose to list their large parcel merchandise in our marketplace and utilize our fulfillment and logistics network for the shipping and handling of their products.
Our number of active 3P sellers was 1,154 in the 12 months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 865 in the 12 months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 33.4% from the 12 months ended March 31, 2024. We believe this increasing trend will continue because of the growing recognition of our marketplace, our seller-friendly comprehensive logistics network enabling hassle-free delivery of large parcel merchandise and our expansion into new markets.
Using our marketplace, sellers are able to quickly gain access to key global markets in which we operate, including the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Japan and Canada. We provide a flat rate program for shipping and handling, and sellers are able to utilize the space in our fulfillment centers. We also create sales analytics which provide valuable information as sellers determine which products to bring to market.
We attract new sellers predominantly through organic channels such as geographic expansion, suppliers outreach, marketing initiatives, referrals and word-of-mouth. In the past, we have completed acquisitions that supplemented our supply chain, fulfillment and logistics capabilities, which attracted more sellers and buyers onto our GigaCloud Marketplace after these strategic acquisitions. We may consider future acquisitions to increase the number of sellers and buyers. We also plan to augment organic customer acquisition by adding additional sales and marketing employees to enhance seller and buyer growth.
Our Ability to Attract and Retain Buyers
Buyers in our marketplace are typically resellers operating in the U.S., Asia and Europe who procure large parcel merchandise to resell to end customers. Our marketplace is attractive to buyers because we minimize inventory risk from our buyers’ business operations. Our buyers can browse a product in our marketplace and list the product on their preferred ecommerce websites such as Rakuten, Amazon, Walmart, Wayfair, Home Depot and OTTO, or their own store prior to procuring and storing the product in a warehouse or shop. Once a sale to the end customer takes place, buyers can order the product in our marketplace and we will handle the fulfillment directly to the end customer.
In the 12 months ended March 31, 2025, we had 9,966 active buyers in our marketplace with an average $142,156 spend per active buyer, representing a 81.4% increase in active buyers and a 14.0% decrease in spend per active buyer compared to the 5,493 active buyers in our marketplace with an average $165,239 spend per active buyer in the 12 months ended March 31, 2024, primarily attributable to a higher number of new buyers onboarded during the period, who generally require time to increase their spending in our GigaCloud Marketplace.
Recent and Future Acquisitions
In addition to organic growth, we have grown through acquisitions that have deepened and expanded our presence in current markets and facilitated entry into attractive new markets.
In the past, we have completed strategic acquisitions to broaden our product offerings, supplement our supply chain, fulfillment and logistics capabilities. We may consider future acquisitions of assets, companies, technologies or businesses that are complementary to our business and the costs of identifying and consummating acquisitions may be significant. Acquisitions could result in the use of substantial amounts of cash, the occurrence of significant goodwill impairment charges, amortization expenses for other intangible assets and exposure to potential unknown liabilities of the acquired business.
Following any new acquisitions, our results of operations may be affected by the newly acquired businesses or operations, the purchase accounting for the acquisition, any liabilities incurred in connection with the acquisitions and expenditures made to integrate the newly acquired businesses or operations. As a result of our acquisitions and the consolidation of our operating subsidiaries’ financial results into our consolidated financial results, the periods presented in our historical financial statements may not be comparable to one another and our future results of operations and financial results may also differ.
Overall Economic Trends
The overall economic environment and related changes in customer behavior have a significant impact on our business. Customer spending on our products and services is primarily discretionary, and therefore positive economic conditions generally drive stronger business performance.
Recent global economic uncertainties, inflation, higher interest rates, lower consumer confidence and demand for discretionary goods, and geopolitical events such as recent international trade disputes and the ongoing wars in Ukraine and in Israel and Gaza, including the related disruptions to international shipping in the Red Sea could impact the demand of products and shipping and freight rates. Furthermore, the recent enactment of heightened tariffs by the U.S. government, along with the unpredictability of tariff, shipping and freight rates, poses a significant uncertainty to our business operations as many of our sellers, buyers and our own suppliers are impacted. Other macroeconomic factors that can affect customer spending patterns include employment rates, availability of customer credit, interest rates, tax rates and energy costs.
Our Ability to Broaden Service Offerings
Our results of operations are also affected by our ability to introduce new service offerings. We have a history of expanding our service offering to enhance our customer experience and to increase revenues. We started our business by primarily selling our own self-procured large parcel merchandise directly to end customers. We expanded our service offerings and launched our GigaCloud Marketplace in 2019, and the revenues generated by GigaCloud Marketplace grew quickly, representing 64.5% and 62.8% of our total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We continue to evaluate opportunities to launch additional services.
Our Ability to Effectively Invest in our Infrastructure and Technology Platform
Our results of operations depend in part on our ability to invest in our infrastructure and technology platform to cost-effectively meet the demands of our anticipated growth. Our global fulfillment and logistics network is a key part of our infrastructure, which consists of fulfillment centers and other facilities that are strategically located, designed and equipped to efficiently manage inventory and to fulfill customers orders and other needs. As of March 31, 2025, we leased 35 fulfillment centers with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 10.5 million square feet in five countries, and two other facilities with storage and showroom functions with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 18,348 square feet in the U.S. Additionally, we maintain partnerships with several major shipping, trucking and freight service providers to supplement our transportation network and shipping requirements.
Our ability to improve our operational efficiency depends on our ability to invest in our infrastructure and technology platform, including our warehousing and fulfillment solutions and AI technology. We also invest in our research and development personnel for the design, development, and testing of our platform, and incur software development costs for the internal-use software and our group’s websites. We have successfully improved our infrastructure and technology solutions over the past years.
Seasonality
Our business is subject to seasonality. We expect the last quarter of the year to be the most active because of the November and December holiday sales period. Our GigaCloud Marketplace GMV is usually the largest in the fourth quarter of a year. It is uncertain whether this is an indicator of industry trends going forward.
Key Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
We generate service revenues from our GigaCloud 3P business, and product revenues from our GigaCloud 1P, off-platform ecommerce businesses and others. Service revenues from GigaCloud 3P, including revenues from platform commission, ocean transportation service, drayage service, warehousing service, last-mile delivery service, packaging service and others are generated by facilitating transactions between sellers and buyers in our GigaCloud Marketplace. Product revenues from GigaCloud 1P are generated through the product sales of our inventory through our GigaCloud Marketplace, and product revenues from off-platform ecommerce are generated from product sales of our inventory to and through third-party ecommerce websites.

(1)No other individual region’s revenues exceeded 10% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Service Revenues—GigaCloud 3P
We derive service revenues primarily through the various 3P activities of sellers and buyers in the GigaCloud Marketplace, including revenues from platform commission, ocean transportation service, drayage service, warehousing service, last-mile delivery service, packaging service and others. When a seller and buyer enter into a transaction in the GigaCloud Marketplace, we generate revenues from platform services by earning a percentage commission depending on the transaction value. The standard commission ranges between 1% and 5%. Additionally, we charge a fulfillment fee for other freight services such as delivery of products via ocean transportation. We charge drayage service fees in connection with transportation of products from ports to warehouses at a flat fee. We charge the sellers storage fees based on the number of days and the size of the products that are stored in our fulfillment centers, and we charge buyers a flat fee for last-mile delivery services for delivery of products to end customers directly from our fulfillment centers, which varies by the weight of the products. We also charge packaging fees in connection with merchandise that we pack and ship.
From time to time in the three months ended March 31, 2025, when we had excess fulfillment capacity, we utilized such excess fulfillment capacity and our extensive logistics network to offer third-party logistics services to customers to help fulfill their large parcel transportation needs. As we continue to grow our GigaCloud Marketplace, we expect to dedicate our logistics capacity to customers using our marketplace and to products sold on our own marketplace, and will opportunistically provide third-party logistics services when there is excess capacity within our network.
Product Revenues—GigaCloud 1P
We derive product revenues from the sales of products through selling our own inventory in our marketplace. Our 1P business creates more products for buyers, gives us insights into seller needs, provides us with proprietary data, and increases the velocity of sales in our marketplace.
Product Revenues—Off-platform Ecommerce
We derive product revenues primarily from the sales of our own inventory through two sales models, which are (i) product sales made to third-party ecommerce websites, or Product Sales to B, such as Wayfair, Walmart, Home Depot, Amazon, Target and Overstock; and (ii) product sales to individual customers through third-party ecommerce websites, or Product Sales to C, such as Rakuten, Amazon and OTTO, where end customers can visit our online stores and purchase directly from us. Regarding Product Sales to B, as expenses charged by these websites are not in exchange for a distinct good or service, the payments to these websites are not recognized as expenses but netted against revenues. With respect to Product Sales to C, expenses incurred for product sales made through these websites are recorded as selling and marketing expenses.
Cost of Revenues

Cost of Products
Cost of products primarily consist of the purchase price of merchandise, shipping and handling costs for self-owned merchandise, rental expenses for fulfillment centers excluding the portion allocated to cost of service revenue and abnormal capacity, packaging fees and personnel related costs. Shipping and handling costs primarily consist of those costs incurred during the process of delivery in North America and markets in other regions such as Japan and Europe, including the expenses attributable to shipment and handling activities, when we deliver a good to a customer.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Revenues
Our revenues, which primarily consist of service revenues generated from GigaCloud 3P and product revenues generated from GigaCloud 1P and off-platform ecommerce sales, increased by 8.3% to $271.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $251.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increased market recognition and scale of our GigaCloud Marketplace, leading to increases in our GigaCloud Marketplace GMV, sales volume and number of sellers and buyers.
•Service Revenues from GigaCloud 3P. Our service revenues increased by 22.8% to $94.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $76.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to:
◦an increase in revenues from last mile delivery services by 23.0% to $49.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $40.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as our GigaCloud Marketplace GMV and delivery volume continued to increase;
◦an increase in revenues from warehousing services by 51.6% to $14.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $9.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as we handled more products as our GigaCloud Marketplace GMV continued to increase;
◦an increase in revenues from ocean transportation services by 16.3% to $11.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $9.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as our GigaCloud Marketplace GMV and delivery volume continued to increase;
◦an increase in revenues from packaging services by 15.9% to $7.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $6.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as we handled more products as our GigaCloud Marketplace GMV continued to increase;
◦an decrease in revenues from drayage service by 22.2% to $2.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $3.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as we priced more competitively to attract volume; and
◦an increase in revenues from other services by 22.0% to $5.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $4.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 , primarily due to an increase in other supplemental fulfillment services provided by our Marketplace compared to the previous period.
•Product Revenues from GigaCloud 1P. Our product revenues from GigaCloud 1P remained stable at $81.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $81.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
•Product Revenues from Off-platform Ecommerce. Our product revenues from off-platform ecommerce increased by 3.3% to $96.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $93.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases in sales channels and sales volume in certain third-party off-platform ecommerce.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues increased by 12.8% to $208.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $184.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
•Our cost of services increased by 26.3% to $79.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $62.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to:
◦an increase in delivery cost by 18.0% to $54.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $46.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as last mile delivery costs and products handled increased during the period;
◦an increase in rental cost by 61.2% to $16.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $10.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as the total square footage of our fulfillment centers increased;
◦an increase in staff cost by 14.3% to $5.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024; and
◦an increase in other cost of services by 120.0% to $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
•Our cost of products increased by 5.9% to $129.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $121.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to:
◦an increase in product cost by 8.9% to $93.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $86.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024;
◦a decrease in delivery cost by 6.7% to $15.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $16.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024; and

Gross Profit and Gross Margin
As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit decreased by 4.2% to $63.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $66.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our gross margin was 23.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 26.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Our selling and marketing expenses increased by 27.4% to $18.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $14.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was primarily due to (i) an increase in platform service fee we incurred on certain third-party ecommerce websites by 27.3% to $8.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $6.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as sales volume and sales channels both increased, (ii) an increase in staff cost related to selling and marketing personnel by 32.1% to $7.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $5.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as we increased the number of sales and marketing personnel and the commission paid to them, and (iii) an increase in other selling and marketing expense by 75.0% to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 7.1% to $14.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $15.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was primarily due to (i) a decrease in staff cost related to general and administrative personnel by 32.3% to $4.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $6.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as we streamlined our team to promote operational efficiency, and (ii) a decrease in rental expense by 18.9% to $3.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $3.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $3.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily because the newly acquired fulfillment centers have became fully operational in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the related expenses were moved from rental expenses to operational costs, partially offset by (iii) an increase in professional service expense by 26.1% to $2.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $2.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as we engaged more professional services for our financial and legal advisors in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the previous period, and (iv) an one-time donation expense of $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to support the recovery efforts for the Greater Los Angeles wildfire.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased by 38.9% to $2.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to our dedication in expanding our research and development efforts, including an increase in the number of research and development projects and the number of employees to perform research and development function in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the previous period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS – diluted, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is net income excluding interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expenses and non-recurring items. Adjusted EPS – diluted is a financial measure defined as our Adjusted EBITDA divided by our diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS – diluted as measures of operating performance, for planning purposes, to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and in communications with our Board of Directors and investors concerning our financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures, which may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(1)During the three months ended March 31, 2024, one of our fulfillment centers in Japan experienced a fire. As a result of the fire, we recognized losses of $1.8 million. Based on the provisions of our insurance policy, we have determined that partial recovery of the incurred losses is probable as of March 31, 2024 and therefore recorded an insurance recovery of $1.5 million. We do not believe such losses to be recurring or frequent in nature.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
To date, we have financed our operating and investing activities mainly through cash generated from our business. As of March 31, 2025, we had $251.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $0.7 million in restricted cash.
In July 2022, we entered into a two-year credit facility agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, under which we are able to borrow up to $30 million during the term of the facility. The credit facility also requires us to comply with various customary covenants and other restrictions. In July 2024, we renewed the credit facility with a maturity date of June 30, 2026. As of the date of this quarterly report, we have not made any draw down from this credit facility.
We believe our cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our current and anticipated needs for general corporate purposes for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, need additional cash resources in the future if we experience changes in business conditions or other developments. We may also need additional cash resources in the future if we find and wish to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, capital expenditure or similar actions. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash we have on hand, we may seek to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
As a Cayman Islands exempted company and offshore holding company, we are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to provide funding to our PRC subsidiaries only through loans or capital contributions, subject to relevant approval, filing and/or reporting with respect to government authorities and limits on the amount of capital contributions and loans. This may delay us from making loans or capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, if any. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—PRC regulation of loans to, and direct investments in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may restrict or prevent us to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.” including in the 2024 Form 10-K.

On March 28, 2025, our board of directors approved an additional $16 million to the Class A ordinary share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $62 million from its previously authorized $46 million. The program runs through August 28, 2025.
Under the share repurchase program, we may purchase our ordinary shares through various means, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, any combination thereof or other legally permissible means. We may effect repurchase transactions in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The number of shares repurchased and the timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with our working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Our board of directors will review the share repurchase program periodically, and may modify, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. We plan to fund repurchases from our existing cash balance.
See “Part II—Item 2—Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Capital Resources
Our capital expenditures consist primarily of purchase of property and equipment. Our capital expenditures were $2.4 million and $4.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We intend to fund our future capital expenditures with our existing cash balance, short-term investments and anticipated cash flows from operations. We will continue to make well-planned capital expenditures to meet the expected growth of our business.

_____________________
(1)Lease commitment consists of the commitments under the lease agreements for our fulfillment centers and storage shelves.
Except for those disclosed above, we did not have any significant capital or other commitments, long-term obligations, or guarantees as of March 31, 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any unconsolidated third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.
Holding Company Structure
The Cayman Islands currently has no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions which may affect the import or export of capital, including the availability of cash and cash equivalents for use by our company, or the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our securities.
Our company, GigaCloud Technology Inc, is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with no material operations of its own and is not a direct Chinese or Hong Kong operating company. We conduct our operations primarily through our principal subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by our subsidiaries. If our subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us.
In addition, as determined in accordance with local regulations, our subsidiaries in certain of our markets may be restricted from paying us dividends offshore or from transferring a portion of their assets to us, whether in the form of dividends, loans or advances, unless certain requirements are met or regulatory approvals are obtained. In addition, our subsidiaries may be restricted in their ability to pay dividends or distributions or make other transfers to us as a result of the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization and agreements of our subsidiaries. See “Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities—Dividends” of the 2024 Form 10-K. Even though we currently do not require any such dividends, loans or advances from our entities for working capital and other funding purposes, we may in the future require additional cash resources from them due to changes in business conditions, to fund future acquisitions and development, or merely to declare and pay dividends or distributions to our shareholders.
Trend Information
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this quarterly report, we are not aware of any known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events for the three months ended March 31, 2025 that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our net revenues, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that are reasonably likely to cause a material change in the relationship between costs and revenues, or that would cause reported financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial conditions.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had not identified critical accounting estimates that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and would have a material impact on our results. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
A list of recently issued accounting pronouncements that are relevant to us is included in Note 1 “Recent accounting pronouncements” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in our exposures to market risk since December 31, 2024. See “Part II—Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” included in the 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion on our exposures to market risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective.
Based upon that evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in design and operation, at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may be involved in claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be costly and time-consuming, as it can divert management’s attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting our overall operations. In addition, we may also find ourselves at greater risk to outside party claims as we increase our operations in jurisdictions where the laws with respect to the potential liability of online retailers are uncertain, unfavorable or unclear.
Southern District of New York Litigation Matter, In Re GigaCloud Technology Inc Securities Litigation, No. 1:23-cv-10645-JMF (S.D.N.Y.)
In October 2023, two GigaCloud shareholders separately brought putative securities class actions in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On November 27, 2023, the United States District Court for the Central District of California granted the parties’ stipulations to transfer both cases to United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On January 12, 2024, the Southern District of New York granted plaintiffs’ stipulation to consolidate the two lawsuits into one and appoint Sashi Rajan and Meir Spear as co-lead plaintiffs. On June 28, 2024, lead plaintiffs filed the second amended complaint. The second amended complaint alleges both false and misleading statements concerning our use of artificial intelligence and machine learning and false and misleading statements about revenue of the GigaCloud Marketplace. On August 21, 2024, we filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. On January 27, 2025, the Court granted our motion to dismiss in substantial part, including dismissing without prejudice all claims relating to (i) our statements in the IPO and subsequent filings about the GigaCloud Marketplace activities and revenues; and (ii) our statements in the IPO registration statement about the general sophistication of our technology. The Court denied our motion to dismiss on Securities Act claims relating to a small number of statements about the Company's use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, made in the IPO registration statement and prospectus. We believe the residual claims are without merit. However, in light of the limited scope of the residual claims and the uncertainty and cost inherent in any litigation, the Company recently reached an agreement in principle with the lead plaintiffs to resolve the class action in its entirety. The settlement remains subject to court approval and the amount of the settlement, which will be funded mostly by insurance, is not expected to have a material impact on our operations or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We are subject to risks and uncertainties that could, directly or indirectly, adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows, strategies, and/or prospects. We have reviewed the risk factors appeared in “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” in the 2024 Form 10-K, and, except as presented below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors previously disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Trade restrictions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are focused on facilitating B2B ecommerce transactions for large parcel merchandise. Our cross-border logistics services may be affected by trade restrictions implemented by countries or territories in which our customers are located or in which our customers’ products are manufactured or sold. For example, we are subject to risks relating to changes in trade policies, tariff regulations, embargoes or other trade restrictions adverse to our customers’ business. Actions by governments that result in restrictions on movement of parcels or otherwise could also impede our ability to carry out our cross-border ecommerce solutions and logistics services. Since February 2025, the U.S. administration has proposed to increase the total tariff level for imported Chinese goods to 125% and additional tariff increase could be imposed as the trade tension between the two countries continues to heighten. On April 9, 2025, China has responded by hiking its levies on U.S. imports to 84% from 34%. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions, between the U.S. and China, as well as between the U.S. and other countries. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, cross-border investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial and stock markets. If we are unable to connect our global customers to each other in our marketplace or provide solutions to transporting parcels to and from countries with trade restrictions in a timely manner or at all, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.
On September 3, 2024, we announced that our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program under which we may purchase up to $46.0 million of our Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.05, over a 12-month period. On March 28, 2025, our board of directors approved an additional $16 million to the Class A ordinary share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $62 million from its previously authorized $46 million. The program runs through August 28, 2025.
Under the share repurchase program, we may purchase our ordinary shares through various means, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, any combination thereof or other legally permissible means.
We may effect repurchase transactions in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The number of shares repurchased and the timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with our working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Our board of directors will review the share repurchase program periodically, and may modify, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. We plan to fund repurchases from our existing cash balance.
