The earnings call summary indicates a generally positive outlook with strong financial performance and optimistic guidance. The company anticipates GAAP profitability for the full year 2025, and the ReturnGo acquisition is expected to positively impact revenue. The Q&A section highlights stable same-store sales growth and a confident new merchant pipeline. While there are slight weaknesses in specific regions, the overall sentiment is optimistic. The $200 million repurchase plan and the absence of significant negative factors further support a positive sentiment rating. However, the lack of specific guidance for 2026 and some regional weaknesses temper the outlook slightly.
GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume) $1.51 billion, up 33% year-over-year. The increase was attributed to resilient trading volumes despite tariff changes and strong contributions from newly launched brands.
Revenue $221 million, up 25.5% year-over-year. Growth was driven by strong trading volumes and new merchant launches.
Adjusted Gross Profit $102 million, up 24% year-over-year. Growth was due to increased revenue and operational efficiencies.
Adjusted EBITDA $41.3 million, up 33% year-over-year, with an 18.7% margin (100 basis point improvement). Growth was driven by lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue and cost efficiencies.
GAAP Net Profit $13.2 million, compared to a net loss of $22.6 million in the prior year. The improvement was driven by reduced amortization expenses related to Shopify warrants and business growth.

Market valuation and share buyback: The company plans to initiate a share buyback program due to perceived undervaluation, which could divert resources from other strategic investments.
Global economic uncertainty: Uncertainty in the global e-commerce market at the start of 2025 highlights potential risks to trading volumes and consumer spending.

The rollout of the Managed Markets solution is on track for 2026, and the company is expanding its duty drawback services to U.S.-based merchants.
Share Repurchase Program: During the quarter, the company announced the authorization of a $200 million share repurchase program by the Board. The company has not yet begun buying back shares due to blackout periods in Q3 but expects to start in the coming days. The buyback plan is seen as a logical use of cash given the company's strong balance sheet, cash generation capabilities, and current market valuation. The company plans to employ a thoughtful approach to take advantage of any disconnect between performance, outlook, and market valuation of shares.
