"Despite a challenging environment, we continue to grow and have achieved our highest quarterly revenue to date – a milestone powered by accelerating performance from our Noble House portfolio, which is now becoming a meaningful margin contributor. These results validate the strength of our Marketplace and the differentiated advantages of our Supplier Fulfilled Retailing^® (SFR^®) model," said Larry Wu, Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman. "We are attracting new Marketplace participants, expanding our European footprint as we work to grow its scale to that of the U.S. market, and enhancing our ability to transform and reinvent the way big and bulky merchandise is bought and sold through one single technology-driven platform."

"In keeping with our commitment in driving shareholder value, our board has approved two share repurchase programs since our IPO. Under these programs, we have repurchased approximately 4.3 million shares for $71 million. We also invested around $87 million toward acquisitions that continue to strengthen our business," said Erica Wei, Chief Financial Officer. "With a solid, debt-free balance sheet, and strong operating cash flow generation, we remain focused on disciplined capital deployment to drive shareholder returns."

Business Outlook

The Company expects its total revenues to be between $295 million and $310 million in the third 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

In September 2024, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a $46 million share repurchase program, which was increased by $16 million to $62 million on March 28, 2025, and further increased by an additional $16 million on May 8, 2025, bringing the total authorization to $78 million. The program runs through August 28, 2025. As of August 7, 2025, the Company has repurchased approximately 4.3 million of its Class A ordinary shares for $71 million.

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.

(1)    One of our fulfillment centers in Japan experienced a fire in March 2024. We recognized losses as a result of the fire. Based on the provisions of our insurance policy, the gross losses have been reduced by the estimated insurance proceeds expected to be received from our insurance carrier. We have determined that partial recovery of the incurred losses is probable and therefore recorded gains of $41 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and net losses of $308 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2024. We do not believe such losses to be recurring or frequent in nature.
