Beijing-based e-commerce retailer LightInTheBox achieved US$59.9 million sales in its third quarter to September, up 35 percent year on year.

LightInTheBox said third-quarter net income was US$10 million, in contrast to a loss of US$17.8 million in the same quarter a year ago.

Taking into account the change in fair value of the convertible promissory notes associated with the acquisition of Singapore-based e-commerce platform Ezbuy, net income stood at US$10.3 million.

“Our results this quarter are a strong reflection of the significant progress we have made since we began implementing our strategy to turn the business around last year,” said CEO Jian He.

The company attributed the strong growth to its focus on improving product optimization, driving customer engagement and expanding market scale.

“We remain focused on executing our strategy to generate sustainable long-term growth and are very encouraged by our improvements to date. We will continue to implement our strategies in order to maintain the trend of improvement,” he added.

The third quarter results have made the company’s outlook for the fourth quarter more bullish, expecting net revenue to rise up to US$75 million.

LightInTheBox operates e-commerce sites including Light in the box, Mini in the box and Ezbuy.

Colourmix parent Veeko International warns of substantial lossColourmix parent and fashion retailer Veeko International has warned shareholders of a “significant increase” in its loss for the half year to September 30. A year ago, the company finished the half HK$19 million in the red, but chairman Johnny Cheng did not estimate the degree of loss in his profit warning issued yesterday. He said the loss was due to “decreased sales for both the cosmetics and fashion segments of the group as a result of the increasing tension of the Sino-American trade war and the further depreciation of Renminbi during the period, which resulted in the continued weakness of the retail environment and abatement in consumption sentiments”. Notably, he did not refer to the social unrest which has adversely affected Hong Kong retailers since early June. But Cheng did say another factor in the loss was a provision for onerous contracts of underperforming retail stores. Veeko International will release its interim results before November 30.
