"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."
