"At GigaCloud, taking a long-term view and investing in the future is our core philosophy. We are committed to building a global digital supply chain for big and bulky items – a vision that guides our every strategic move," said Larry Wu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "The value of this approach becomes clear during downturns like the one we are navigating today. Our early investments in Europe and the strategic acquisition of Noble House are delivering solid results despite U.S. market challenges. Likewise, our decisive share repurchases have turned policy-driven volatility into an opportunity to enhance shareholder value. We will continue to defend this principle – driving innovation and investing for the long-term to strengthen our industry-leading position."

"Our sustained profitability in an uncertain environment underscores our continued focus on operational discipline and the resilience of our model,"  said Erica Wei, Chief Financial Officer. "We remain committed to a balanced capital allocation approach, investing in the business while returning capital to shareholders. As of date, our cumulative share buybacks across all programs totalled approximately 5.6 million shares for $113.5 million, with approximately $68.3 million remaining under our buyback program announced in August 2025. We will continue to execute against our capital priorities."

Business Outlook 

The Company expects its total revenues to be between $365 million and $390 million in the second quarter of 2026. This forecast reflects the Company's current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change and cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy as of the date hereof.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 13, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors approved a $111.0 million share repurchase program. The program became effective on August 17, 2025 and will remain in effect for a period of three years. During the first quarter of 2026, we repurchased 304,321 of our Class A ordinary shares at a total consideration of approximately $12.3 million. Subsequent to the first quarter of 2026, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of 200,628 Class A ordinary shares in the open market at a total consideration of approximately $9.0 million pursuant to a repurchase plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

Under the share repurchase program, the Company may purchase its ordinary shares through various means, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, any combination thereof or other legally permissible means. The Company may effect repurchase transactions in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 the Company's working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS – diluted, to understand and evaluate its core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is net income excluding interest, income taxes and depreciation, further adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EPS – diluted is a financial measure defined as our Adjusted EBITDA divided by our diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

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.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA" and "Unaudited Reconciliation of Adjusted EPS – diluted" set forth at the end of this press release.
