• Revenue Beat

  Driven by higher average order values despite fewer orders, Q2 revenue of $23.3M exceeded the high end of management's guidance.

• Adjusted EBITDA Profit

  Adjusted EBITDA swung to a $1.3M profit from a $1.8M loss a year ago, marking the second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA.

• Buyback Program Exhausted

  The company completed its $10M 2026 Stock Repurchase Program, buying back 2.2M shares at an average of $4.65, leaving no remaining authorization.

• Cash Decline

  Cash and short-term investments fell to $67.7M from $95.0M at year-end, partly due to $20.7M in buybacks and a $5.9M reclassification of cash to receivables from a payment processor change.

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.
