Newegg Announces First Quarter 2026 Results

Newegg Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEGG), a leading global technology e-commerce retailer, today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Newegg Chief Executive Officer Anthony Chow announced, "Our first quarter played out against a backdrop of significant memory supply constraints and industry-wide pricing pressure. In this environment, we placed greater emphasis on pricing discipline and margin management. While this contributed to year-over-year declines on the top line, it supported improvement across our key profitability metrics, including gross profit, net income, and adjusted EBITDA. Our disciplined inventory positioning, including early procurement of constrained categories, has continued to serve us well, allowing us to maintain availability and capture bundling opportunities across our core PC categories. We also made meaningful progress on our community and brand initiatives, including the public opening of Newegg Gamer Zone, partnerships with vendors, schools, and universities, and an expanded presence in competitive gaming. The expansion of our Trade-In Program to include desktop memory further extends our commitment to builders and the enthusiast community.

"As we move through 2026, and celebrate Newegg's 25th anniversary, we are continuing to advance our AI strategy on two fronts: working with leading AI platform partners to deliver more conversational and consultative shopping experiences for our customers, and leveraging AI across our internal operations to drive productivity and efficiency. The foundation we have laid across multiple strategic initiatives positions Newegg to execute on our priorities through the remainder of 2026 and continue delivering long-term value to our customers, partners, and shareholders."

Newegg Interim Chief Financial Officer Christina Ching added, "We are pleased with Newegg's continued progress on profitability in Q1 2026 — adjusted EBITDA improved to $10.0 million from $5.4 million in Q1 2025, and net income reached $7.8 million compared to a net loss of $2.5 million a year ago, reflecting the benefits of our cost discipline and strategic inventory management. GMV of $377.5 million declined 12.1% year-over-year, driven by the absence of major new product launches this year and a macro environment that has made consumers more cautious with discretionary technology spending. We have observed consumers becoming increasingly price-sensitive, shifting toward value-oriented products in discretionary categories such as graphics cards, CPUs, and motherboards, while enterprise buyers have shown strong momentum and continued investing in premium AI-capable hardware, providing a meaningful offset. The industrywide shortage has driven memory and storage component prices significantly higher, which has elevated average selling prices and further pressured unit volumes. Our proactive inventory management, built on the foundation we established in 2025, has allowed us to maintain strong product availability through the shortage, providing a competitive advantage and supporting margin expansion. Our balance sheet remains strong, with minimal debt and substantial available credit capacity, providing the financial flexibility to capitalize on inventory opportunities as market conditions evolve. Our priorities for the remainder of 2026 are clear: protect margins through disciplined inventory management, capture the growing enterprise demand for AI hardware, and deliver value to consumers."

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release presents certain "non-GAAP" financial measures. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by using amounts that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the schedules attached hereto.

GMV

The Company defines gross merchandise value, or GMV, as the total dollar value of products sold on its websites and third-party marketplace platforms, directly to customers and by its Marketplace sellers through Newegg Marketplace, net of returns, discounts, taxes, and cancellations. GMV also includes the services fees charged through its Newegg Partner Services ("NPS") in rendering services for its third-party logistics ("3PL"), shipped-by-Newegg ("SBN"), and media ad services, as well as the sales made by its Asia subsidiaries.

Adjusted EBITDA

Newegg calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income/loss, excluding stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, net, income tax (benefit) provision, gain/loss from warrants liabilities, gain/loss from fixed assets disposal, and gain/loss from sales of investment.

Newegg believes that exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that it does not consider to be indicative of its core operating performance. Accordingly, Newegg believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its management and board of directors.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Newegg's results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the working capital needs; Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent reduction in cash available to Newegg; and other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, operating profit and Newegg's other GAAP results.
