"This quarter reaffirmed the resilience of our diversified business," said Larry Wu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "The return to top-line growth in Noble House reflects the impact of focused optimization, and our planned acquisition of New Classic advances our vision of a truly channel-agnostic B2B marketplace that connects suppliers and retailers with greater reach and efficiency. Through disciplined execution and a robust, debt-free balance sheet that supports our growth initiatives, we continued to scale in a difficult environment and strengthen the foundation for long-term value creation. The macro environment is beyond our control, but how we execute and adapt is not. Resilience is what keeps us moving forward."
"Our disciplined execution generated $78 million in operating cash flow this quarter, providing the fuel to execute our long-term capital allocation strategy with precision," said Erica Wei, Chief Financial Officer. "This allows us to consistently return capital to shareholders through buybacks - a highly effective tool for enhancing earnings per share - while simultaneously investing in strategic acquisitions to secure our future growth pipeline."
Planned Acquisition
On October 24, 2025, GigaCloud announced that it has entered into a binding term sheet to acquire 100% of New Classic Home Furnishings, Inc. ("New Classic") for $18 million in cash. At closing, New Classic will become a wholly owned subsidiary of GigaCloud, further expanding the Company's channel-agnostic B2B marketplace and enhancing its domestic distribution capabilities.
Business Outlook
The Company expects its total revenues to be between $328 million and $344 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. 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. The previously authorized share repurchase program was terminated effective August 16, 2025. As of November 6, 2025, the Company has repurchased approximately 4.9 million of its Class A ordinary shares for $87 million under its share repurchase programs since its IPO in 2022.
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.
