Liquidity Services GMV rises in Q1
CEO Bill Angrick attributed the robust performance to the growing adoption of the company’s services and expanded client relationships.
“Our relentless focus on enhancing our marketplace experience and leveraging advanced technologies continues to attract more buyers and sellers,” Angrick said.
Segment highlights included a 65% GMV increase in the Retail Supply Chain Group (RSCG), driven by expanded partnerships with retail clients. The Capital Assets Group (CAG) saw a 31% rise, particularly in heavy equipment sales. The GovDeals segment, which manages surplus government assets, posted an 11% increase due to new sellers and expanded services.
Liquidity Services also announced the acquisition of Auction Software, a company specializing in marketplace and software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions. This move aims to enhance the company’s service offerings and expand its market reach.
Profitability improved alongside growth, with net income reaching $5.8 million, a 205% increase from the previous year. The number of registered buyers grew to 5.7 million, a 9% increase, while auction participation rose 13% to 960,000 bidders.
With a strong financial foundation and continued expansion in the $100 billion circular economy, Liquidity Services positions itself for sustained long-term growth.
“We remain committed to driving value for our clients and capitalizing on new market opportunities,” Angrick said.
