SINGAPORE , March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LightInTheBox Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: LITB) ("LightInTheBox" or the "Company"), a global consumer lifestyle company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Total Revenues were $63.0 million, a 9% increase year over year, compared to a 34% decline in the first quarter of 2025, a 15% decrease in the second quarter of 2025 and a 3% decrease in the third quarter of 2025, marking renewed top-line growth.
Gross Profit was $39.3 million, compared with $33.9 million in the same quarter last year.
Gross Margin improved to 62.5% from 58.7% in the same quarter last year, driven by higher-margin proprietary product lines and bespoke offerings like print-on-demand apparel.
Operating Expenses were $36.0 million, compared with $33.3 million in the same quarter last year.
- Fulfillment Expenses increased by 7% year over year to $4.3 million.
- Selling and Marketing Expenses increased by 15% year over year to $26.6 million.
- General and Administrative Expenses decreased by 15% year over year to $5.3 million, of which Research and Development expenses were $2.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.7 million, compared with $1.0 million in the same quarter last year.

Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights

Total Revenues were $224.3 million, a 12% decrease year over year, primarily due to the Company's pivot to focus on profitability in a highly competitive e-commerce environment, with declines moderating significantly from the first quarter of 2025 to the third quarter of 2025, and the fourth quarter regaining positive growth.
Gross Profit was $145.9 million, compared with $153.5 million in 2024.
Gross Margin improved to 65.0% from 60.1% in 2024, the highest level since becoming a public company in 2013, driven by the successful introduction of higher-margin proprietary product lines.
Operating Expenses decreased by 11% year over year to $137.9 million, mainly attributable to reduced revenue and enhanced cost management.
- Fulfillment Expenses decreased by 12% year over year to $16.6 million.
- Selling and Marketing Expenses decreased by 8% year over year to $102.5 million.
- General and Administrative Expenses decreased by 24% year over year to $19.6 million, of which Research and Development expenses were $10.3 million.
Net Income reached $8.3 million, a record level since 2022, compared with a loss of $2.5 million in 2024, showcasing remarkable profitability turnaround.
Adjusted EBITDA was $9.9 million, compared with a loss of $0.1 million in 2024.

"We are very pleased to report excellent results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, which marked our successful transformation into a global consumer lifestyle company," commented Jian He, CEO of LightInTheBox. "We have engineered a remarkable business turnaround by achieving seven consecutive profitable quarters, with the latest quarterly revenue regaining positive year-over-year growth and profit reaching a record high. Our strategy of evolving the LightInTheBox online platform into a consumer lifestyle company is clearly working. By capturing consumer preferences and sentiment, we offer differentiated products that drive consumer engagement through deep emotional resonance".

"The LightInTheBox online platform focuses on festivals, holidays, and special occasions, offering highly customized, non-standard products that address consumers' sentimental and lifestyle requirements rather than purely functional needs, thus allowing us to command premium pricing. To further complement and strengthen our positioning as a consumer lifestyle company, we adopted a brand matrix strategy by launching three proprietary apparel brands successively since 2024 in women's fashion, golf apparel and light party dress. These brands build around the social attributes of women aged 30 and above, delivering emotional value and a more relaxed, enjoyable lifestyle experience across scenarios such as vacations, social golf, and parties".

"Together, the LightInTheBox online business and the new brands create powerful synergies, tugging on heartstrings and forging emotional connections with our core customers. Such two-pronged unified approach towards consumer lifestyle positioning has yielded great results. Our branded apparel business grew over 143% in 2025 and already accounted for 17% of total revenue in 2025. We achieved a full-year gross margin of 65%, the highest level since becoming a public company in 2013, along with positive operating cash flow of $6.2 million. In addition, we have fully embraced AI to capture the real-time market trend and drive operational efficiency across all aspects of our business. End to end AI automation has contributed to a workforce optimization of 58% since 2023. Looking ahead to 2026, we remain committed in our continued transformation to becoming a global consumer lifestyle company and are confident in our ability to deliver overall revenue and profit growth," Mr. He concluded.

The Company has since extended the share repurchase program through December 31, 2025, then further to June 30, 2026, with total repurchase amount up to $3.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses a non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA, as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company's non-GAAP financial measure excludes share-based compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, interest income, interest expenses and income tax benefit / (expense).

The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in its business. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measure could provide further information about the Company's results of operations and enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects.

The non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. The Company's non-GAAP financial measure does not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect the Company's operations and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, the non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for the limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. The Company encourages you to review the Company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.
