Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $183.3 million and restricted cash of $0.9 million, compared to $143.5 million and $1.5 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $133.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $49.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily attributable to net income of $94.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, adjusted primarily by prepayments and other assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, income tax payable, inventories, accounts payable, and accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities was $90.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $0.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, consisting primarily of acquisitions, with the cash payment of $86.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2023.

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $31.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, consisting primarily of repayment of finance lease obligations of $2.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2023 and payment of share repurchase of $1.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2023.

Acquisitions

In October 2023, we completed the acquisition of Noble House Home Furnishings LLC, or Noble House, a leading B2B distributor of indoor and outdoor home furnishings, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $77.6 million. The Noble House acquisition was funded using cash on hand from operations. The acquisition added valuable assets, including but not limited to, inventory, warehouses leases, intangible assets including technology assets, and other assets which can be further utilized and to supplement our B2B ecommerce ecosystem.

The acquisition of Noble House added six warehouses with approximately 2.4 million square feet to our warehousing network in the U.S., and one warehouse with approximately 0.1 million square feet in Canada. We also increased the number of product SKUs, particularly in outdoor furnishings, to our GigaCloud Marketplace through this acquisition. We plan to utilize Noble House’s footprint in India to broaden our suppliers base, and in Canada to expand the end markets that we serve, attract more sellers and buyers on our Marketplace. We believe the Noble House acquisition would contribute additional sales channels and business relationships to further complement our B2B ecommerce ecosystem.

In November 2023, we completed the acquisition of a 100% equity interest of Apexis, Inc., a Florida corporation dba Wondersign, or Wondersign, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.0 million. The Wondersign acquisition was funded using cash on hand from operations. Wondersign is a cloud-based interactive digital signage and e-catalog management SaaS company headquartered in Tampa, Florida with access to thousands of storefronts across the United States through its customers. Wondersign develops and maintains “Catalog Kiosk,” a leading digital catalog software that allows retailers to display an endless aisle of products and better connect with today’s omni-channel shoppers. We believe that the acquisition of Wondersign would help us achieve our goal in making GigaCloud Marketplace a customer-facing and seamless platform, providing a user-friendly experience for both platform participants and retail store customers.

Noble House contributes product revenues to our GigaCloud 1P and off-platform ecommerce revenue streams, while Wondersign contributes service revenues through its catalog subscription services, and product revenues through the sales of its Catalog Kiosk displays.

The financial impact from the acquisitions of Noble House and Wondersign was reflected in our financial results in the fourth quarter of 2023. The operating impact from these acquisitions has not been reflected in the operating metrics in our GigaCloud Marketplace in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Warehouse Fire

On March 9, 2024, one of the Company’s warehouses in Japan suffered damages due to a warehouse fire. While the Company is still evaluating the impact caused by the warehouse fire, the Company estimated approximately $1.8 million in damages with respect to the cost of its inventory held at the warehouse. The Company has insurance coverage associated with the damages to the inventory and warehouse equipment. Furthermore, the Company has a total of four warehouses in Japan and the Company has shifted our warehousing operations in Japan to the other three warehouses to minimize any disruptions to the Company’s operations in Japan.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company established a share repurchase program in June 2023 under which the Company may purchase up to $25.0 million of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.05, over a 12-month period. From the launch of the share repurchase program on June 14, 2023 to December 31, 2023, the Company in aggregate purchased approximately 215,000 Class A ordinary shares in the open market at a total consideration of approximately $1.6 million pursuant to the share repurchase program. During our fourth fiscal quarter of 2023, we did not repurchase any Class A ordinary shares.

Business Outlook

The Company expects its total revenues to be between $230 million and $240 million in the first quarter of 2024. 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.
