Analysis · DIBS · Trade & Services
A strong second quarter underscores 1stDibs' accelerating turnaround. Revenue reached $23.3M, beating the high end of management's own guidance, while Adjusted EBITDA swung to a $1.3M profit from a $1.8M loss a year ago. The net loss narrowed sharply to $1.0M from $4.3M, and gross margin expanded to 74% from 72%. The company also exhausted its $10M 2026 buyback program, deploying all authorized repurchase funds. Cash and short-term investments declined to $67.7M from $95.0M at year-end, partly reflecting $20.7M in buybacks and a $5.9M reclassification of cash to receivables. Following a Q1 that also posted positive Adjusted EBITDA, these results suggest the business has reached an inflection point.
