"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
