Management Commentary
“We are pleased to report our full year 2022 results, in which we delivered great performance in terms of revenue growth,” said
“However, our gross margin was negatively impacted by the challenging e-commerce environment and intense competition caused by high inventory levels across the industry. Our operating expenses also increased because of increased platform, advertising, and storage fees paid to Amazon, and a significant increase in our labor force. Despite disappointing margins, we believe we’ve built a solid foundation in 2022 to generate strong growth for the years to come. We also plan to make improvements on profitability.”
