Thank you Operator, and thank you everyone for joining us on the call today.
2023 and the fourth quarter in particular have marked a significant inflection point for GigaCloud, one which has changed the trajectory of the business and that we believe will change the way people think about the industry. We have jumped in order of magnitude in scale of our business and the potential of our supplier-fulfilled retail model.
On the top line, we saw revenue increase to $244.7 million for the quarter, up approximately 95% period-over-period, and for the full year, revenue increased to $738 million, an increase of approximately 44% from 2022. While these are certainly impressive results, especially keeping in mind that the Noble House transaction did not close until November 1, we believe that we have still not seen the full power of our business synergy yet.
In alignment with our integration with Noble House, we have taken strategic actions to further optimize this business. This includes streamlining Noble House’s operation by divesting its direct-to-consumer online retail bridge and the manufacturing division. Additionally, we have outsourced management of returned items. These decisions served two key objectives: first, by sharpening our focus, we ensure our concentration and resources are directed towards strengthening our B2B marketplace proposition; and secondly, we want to enhance our B2B market neutrality and are committed to provide streamlined service to our buyers and sellers of the marketplace.
