Grizzly GCT Report
Key Findings:
- Discrepancies in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV): While GigaCloud reports significant growth in GMV, web traffic data for its B2B marketplace, GigaB2B, indicates low activity. At its peak, the site had only 1,000 visits per month, which raises questions about the accuracy of the reported
$907 million GMV. - RelatedParty Transactions:The report identifies a network of related party transactions involving shell companies. These entities, often managed by
GigaCloud employees, appear to be used to enhance the appearance of marketplace activity. - Revenue Recognition Practices:GigaCloud’s method of booking fulfillment costs as revenue to inflate top-line figures is examined. Over
$100 million in last-mile service revenue was recorded, despite the company reportedly lacking the necessary infrastructure to support such a volume of business. - Auditor Practices:The report notes that GigaCloud’s auditor,
KPMG Huazhen LLP , has a limited track record, having audited only twoU.S. public companies, both of which have faced scrutiny from short-sellers. - Insider Selling:Significant insider stock sales by key executives, including CEO
Larry Lei Wu , amounting to over$85 million , are highlighted as a point of concern for investors. - Noble House Acquisition: The acquisition of Noble House, which
GigaCloud presented as a strategic expansion, is discussed. Bankruptcy documents show that Noble House’s revenue declined significantly from$491 million in 2022 to$150 million in 2023, which contrasts with GigaCloud’s optimistic projections.
