“We are pleased to report exceptional growth in revenue, accompanied by marked improvements in gross profit margin,” said Larry Wu, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GigaCloud. “Additionally, our GigaCloud Marketplace continued its impressive momentum across all key metrics, while simultaneously expanding its service offerings.

We are confident that these investments will better position GigaCloud to meet surging Marketplace buyer and seller demands while further enhancing efficiency.

“The introduction of our Branding-as-a-Service, or BaaS, marked a pivotal moment for GigaCloud and the furniture industry as a whole, especially within our marketplace where furniture is a key category.” Mr. Wu continued, “This program allows qualified sellers to leverage the well-established Christopher Knight Home brand to address the longstanding challenges associated with brand building in the furniture sector. We are observing widespread enthusiasm from Marketplace sellers as we prepare for inaugural transactions under the program in the second quarter. This strategic move underscores our commitment to empower Marketplace buyers and sellers and is an example of yet another addition to our service toolbox designed to foster stronger loyalty and engagement among Marketplace buyers and sellers. We are confident that our sustained growth will unlock even greater opportunities for our buyers and sellers, solidifying GigaCloud’s position at the forefront of streamlining the global supply chain for large parcel merchandise through our Supplier Fulfilled Retailing model.”
