Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues were $178.2 million in the third quarter of 2023, increased by 39.2% from $128.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in market demand for large parcel merchandise, leading to increases in our GigaCloud Marketplace GMV, sales volume and number of sellers and buyers.
- Service revenue from GigaCloud 3P was $51.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, increased by 27.2% from $40.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue from last-mile delivery services by 63.5% from $17.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $27.8 million in the third quarter of 2023 and an increase in revenue from warehouse services by 23.4% from $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue from ocean transportation services by 49.5% from $10.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to the decrease in the pricing of ocean transportation services.
- Product revenue from GigaCloud 1P was $80.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, increased by 38.1% from $58.2 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to increases in spend per active buyer.
- Product revenue from off-platform ecommerce was $46.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, increased by 58.0% from $29.3 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increased sales in certain third-party off-platform ecommerce.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was $129.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, increased by 22.7% from $105.4 million in the third quarter of 2022.
- Cost of services increased by 23.9% from $32.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $40.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase in delivery cost by 11.7% from $26.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $29.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase in staff cost by 80.0% from $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2023 as the Company is expanding and an increase in rental cost by 27.9% from $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2023.
- Cost of product sales increased by 22.1% from $72.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $88.9 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase in product cost by 20.6% from $56.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $67.9 million in the third quarter of 2023 and an increase in delivery costs by 50.0% from $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $11.4 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit was $48.9 million in the third quarter of 2023, increased by 117.3% from $22.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. Gross margin increased to 27.4% in the third quarter of 2023 from 17.6% in the third quarter of 2022.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $17.2 million in the third quarter of 2023, decreased by 6.0% from $18.3 million in the third quarter of 2022.
- Selling and marketing expenses were $11.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, increased by 61.8% from $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in staff cost related to selling and marketing personnel by 85.2% from $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, and an increase in platform service fee we incurred to certain third-party ecommerce websites by 84.6% from $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2023.
- General and administrative expenses were $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, decreased by 49.6% from $11.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expense by 96.1% from $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 to $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, as the Company recognized a significant amount of share-based compensation at its initial public offering in the third quarter of 2022.
- Research and development expenses were $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, whereas the Company did not have research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to system wide technological upgrades on GigaCloud Marketplace to support the Company’s growth.
