Commerce.com, Inc. (formerly BigCommerce Holdings, Inc.) reported Q4 2025 financial results that show significant deterioration in profitability and cash flow, alongside a sequential decline in near-term revenue guidance. The GAAP net loss widened considerably to ($8.4M) in Q4 2025 from ($2.4M) in Q4 2024, and free cash flow turned negative at ($0.3M) compared to $11.6M positive in the prior year. Furthermore, the company's Q1 2026 revenue guidance of $82.5M to $83.5M is lower than the $89.5M reported in Q4 2025.
