Yumeya Metal Wood Grain Restaurant Chairs Protect European Furniture Importers From 4% EUDR Revenue Fines Through Zero Deforestation Innovation

HESHAN, China, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The global furniture supply chain is entering a period of enforced transparency that many European importers are currently ill-prepared to handle. As the 2026 implementation of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) approaches, Yumeya Furniture has introduced strategic, compliance-ready solution to ease regulatory pressure. By leveraging its pioneering metal wood grain technology, the company is helping European furniture importers and hospitality groups navigate the financial risks associated with timber traceability while establishing a new benchmark for sustainable contract furniture. European restaurateurs have long adored the rustic charm of solid wood seating, but Brussels is now handing them a rather expensive reality check. The EUDR mandates total supply chain transparency, requiring importers to prove their timber products are entirely free from deforestation through mandatory due diligence statements. Those failing to provide exact geolocation coordinates face regulatory fines reaching up to 4% of their annual turnover. For major furniture distributors, this policy turns traditional wooden chairs from premium hospitality assets into severe compliance liabilities. 100% Recyclable. Zero Deforestation.Yumeya’s metal wood grain chairs offer European venues a premium look while entirely bypassing EUDR traceability mandates. Faced with mounting paperwork and the threat of crippling penalties, European buyers are searching for viable alternatives. Yumeya Furniture offers an elegant escape route through its metal wood grain technology. The manufacturer produces commercial seating that mirrors the exact look and texture of solid timber while using high strength aluminum and steel frames. By decoupling luxury aesthetics from forest dependency, Yumeya's metal-based infrastructure offers a frictionless transition into the EUDR era. "The commercial furniture industry is at a crossroads where tradition meets a legal wall," says Mr. Gong, founder of Yumeya, "Solid wood is becoming a high-risk liability due to the complexity of timber sourcing. Yumeya metal wood grain chairs offer a practical exit from this crisis, providing the warmth of wood with the legal immunity of high-grade metal." The environmental mathematics driving this shift are stark. Manufacturing a standard batch of 100 high-end solid wood dining chairs typically requires felling half a dozen century old European beech trees. This scale of logging wipes out the annual growth of an entire hectare of forest. Yumeya's manufacturing process relies on a specialized heat transfer technique that bonds wood grain patterns to metal surfaces. The result provides the hospitality sector with natural aesthetics while leaving the forests untouched, giving corporate buyers a concrete metric to include in their annual environmental and social governance reports. Switching to metal is not only about reducing pressure on forest resources. It is also a more practical materials strategy for long-term sustainability. Yumeya uses aluminum and steel frames that deliver the same warm wood appearance without depending on timber supply. When the chairs eventually reach the end of their service life, the metal materials can be recycled and returned to industrial use instead of being sent to landfill. For hospitality groups, this provides the hard data needed for ESG reporting—something that wood supply chains, with their complex chemical treatments, struggle to deliver. The economic case is built on durability. Wood is an organic material that constantly reacts to changes in humidity and temperature. In high-traffic commercial environments, wooden chairs often wobble or creak as joints loosen and seams age, usually requiring replacement within five years. Yumeya eliminates this structural fatigue with fully welded frames that are engineered for a decade of service. In practical terms, a restaurant owner avoids an entire round of replacement furniture over a ten-year period. Purchasing twice instead of three times over a decade-long cycle cuts procurement budgets and removes the hidden drain of ongoing structural maintenance. This technical maturity is the result of decades of quiet refinement. Mr. Gong first applied wood grain finishes to metal frames in 1998. The company has continually advanced the science of surface treatment since those early trials. By 2018, they introduced a 3D finish that accurately mimics the tactile grain of natural timber. More recently, in 2022, they adapted the process for outdoor patios, solving the perennial problem of weather faded exterior furniture. As the 2026 EUDR enforcement deadline approaches, the European contract furniture market must adapt to survive. Relying on solid wood now carries an unprecedented financial and ecological cost. Yumeya demonstrates that protecting profit margins and preserving global forests can be achieved simultaneously. About Yumeya Furniture Yumeya Furniture is a world-leading manufacturer of metal wood grain contract furniture. With successful cases in over 80 countries and a mission to bring environment-friendly seating to the world, Yumeya combines 25 years of technical mastery with a commitment to $0 after-sale costs and 10-year structural warranties.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights Total Revenues were $63.0 million, a 9% increase year over year, compared to a 34% decline in the first quarter of 2025, a 15% decrease in the second quarter of 2025 and a 3% decrease in the third quarter of 2025, marking renewed top-line growth. Gross Profit was $39.3 million, compared with $33.9 million in the same quarter last year. Gross Margin improved to 62.5% from 58.7% in the same quarter last year, driven by higher-margin proprietary product lines and bespoke offerings like print-on-demand apparel.

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.7 million, compared with $1.0 million in the same quarter last year. Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights Total Revenues were $224.3 million, a 12% decrease year over year, primarily due to the Company's pivot to focus on profitability in a highly competitive e-commerce environment, with declines moderating significantly from the first quarter of 2025 to the third quarter of 2025, and the fourth quarter regaining positive growth. Gross Profit was $145.9 million, compared with $153.5 million in 2024. Gross Margin improved to 65.0% from 60.1% in 2024, the highest level since becoming a public company in 2013, driven by the successful introduction of higher-margin proprietary product lines. Operating Expenses decreased by 11% year over year to $137.9 million, mainly attributable to reduced revenue and enhanced cost management. Fulfillment Expenses decreased by 12% year over year to $16.6 million. Selling and Marketing Expenses decreased by 8% year over year to $102.5 million.

"We have engineered a remarkable business turnaround by achieving seven consecutive profitable quarters, with the latest quarterly revenue regaining positive year-over-year growth and profit reaching a record high. Our strategy of evolving the LightInTheBox online platform into a consumer lifestyle company is clearly working. By capturing consumer preferences and sentiment, we offer differentiated products that drive consumer engagement through deep emotional resonance". "The LightInTheBox online platform focuses on festivals, holidays, and special occasions, offering highly customized, non-standard products that address consumers' sentimental and lifestyle requirements rather than purely functional needs, thus allowing us to command premium pricing. To further complement and strengthen our positioning as a consumer lifestyle company, we adopted a brand matrix strategy by launching three proprietary apparel brands successively since 2024 in women's fashion, golf apparel and light party dress. These brands build around the social attributes of women aged 30 and above, delivering emotional value and a more relaxed, enjoyable lifestyle experience across scenarios such as vacations, social golf, and parties". "Together, the LightInTheBox online business and the new brands create powerful synergies, tugging on heartstrings and forging emotional connections with our core customers. Such two-pronged unified approach towards consumer lifestyle positioning has yielded great results. Our branded apparel business grew over 143% in 2025 and already accounted for 17% of total revenue in 2025. We achieved a full-year gross margin of 65%, the highest level since becoming a public company in 2013, along with positive operating cash flow of $6.2 million. In addition, we have fully embraced AI to capture the real-time market trend and drive operational efficiency across all aspects of our business. End to end AI automation has contributed to a workforce optimization of 58% since 2023. Looking ahead to 2026, we remain committed in our continued transformation to becoming a global consumer lifestyle company and are confident in our ability to deliver overall revenue and profit growth," Mr. He concluded.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses a non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA, as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company's non-GAAP financial measure excludes share-based compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, interest income, interest expenses and income tax benefit / (expense). The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in its business. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measure could provide further information about the Company's results of operations and enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects. The non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. The Company's non-GAAP financial measure does not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect the Company's operations and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, the non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for the limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. The Company encourages you to review the Company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Chinese, German creatives spotlight cultural ties at China Fashion Week

BEIJING, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This is a report from China.org.cn: A China-Germany cultural exchange event was held at Beijing's 798-751 Art District on March 21, as part of the ongoing China Fashion Week (Spring) 2026. The "Zeitgeist | Sino-German Theme Day" brought together industry representatives, designers and academics to promote deeper bilateral dialogue and cooperation in culture and design. It was jointly organized by China Fashion Week, the German Society for Intangible Cultural Heritage and Applied Design (GIKG) and Taiji Platform International (TPI). Zhang Shen, co-founder of TPI, said the geographical distance and differences in language, culture and business logic between China and Germany make such exchanges particularly meaningful. He described TPI's role as a "cultural ferryman" that facilitates "commercial transcreation," a process he said involves translating not only language but also values and emotions to help both sides better understand each other. According to Zhang, the goal is to bring Germany's long-standing craftsmanship tradition to Chinese consumers as a quality lifestyle, while presenting Chinese aesthetics to a global audience through fashion. Xie Fangming, vice chairman of the China Fashion Association, highlighted the complementary strengths of the two countries. He noted that China's millennia-old intangible cultural heritage and refined Eastern aesthetics align well with Germany's rigorous craftsmanship and innovation-driven approach. He said both sides share common ground in cultural preservation and sustainable development, adding that such dialogue offers an opportunity to transform traditional heritage into contemporary design inspiration. Xie also emphasized the importance of integrating German precision, including advanced gem-cutting techniques, with the artistic sensibility of Chinese jewelry design. He said combining German manufacturing standards with China's creative dynamism could enhance industrial value. Chen Xiaohua, dean of the Chinese Academy of Lifestyle Design at Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, called for deeper "value connectivity" between cultures. He said both sides should move beyond material consumption toward experience-based lifestyles that blend Eastern ecological wisdom with Western humanistic values. Filmmaker Zhang Ledi offered a more personal take on urban storytelling, describing how his team moved from sketching Beijing's hutongs to documenting them through film. He said static drawings proved insufficient to capture the city's "living atmosphere," prompting a shift toward audiovisual narratives. Through the project, Zhang said, the team sought to preserve the sensory and emotional dimensions of everyday life — from neighborhood conversations to seasonal changes — while rediscovering the layered identities embedded in each alleyway. The work, he noted, reflects a broader trend of using creative media to reinterpret traditional urban culture in contemporary contexts. Traditional culture could be transformed into accessible cultural and tourism services, Chen said, adding that interactive platforms could help bridge cultural value systems. During the event, the International Lifestyle Innovation Alliance was officially launched. Its action plan includes organizing international forums and exhibitions, building a global network for lifestyle innovation, and conducting research on lifestyle brands to inform industry development and policymaking. Chen noted that the alliance aims to expand cooperation not only between China and Germany but also with other countries across the design, industry and cultural sectors. Jürgen Sewczyk, a board member of the German Society for Television and Cinema Technology, said both China and Germany possess rich cultural traditions that form an integral part of global heritage. In the face of rapid technological change, he stressed the importance of knowledge exchange to preserve cultural traditions and shape a shared future. He added that cultural and educational cooperation can create lasting connections between the two peoples, fostering mutual understanding and supporting sustainable innovation based on respect and shared interests. Kersten Godenschwege, president of GIKG, pointed to strong potential for collaboration in the gemstone sector. He noted that Idar-Oberstein, Germany, has a long history and advanced expertise in gemstone processing, while China offers unique strengths and growing demand in related industries. Godenschwege expressed hope for expanded cooperation with Chinese institutions, particularly the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, to promote student exchanges and joint work in gemstone cutting, identification, research and jewelry design, thereby strengthening talent development and technological innovation in the field.

The 47% premium: How culture predicts market value in the AI era -- Findings from Culture Amp

New Culture Amp research tracking 1,800 companies reveals a discrete measurable state of Peak Performance associated with a 36% share price increase over two years. Launched today and redefining the connection between engagement and performance, Culture Amp's new Performance Culture Quadrant equips leaders with science-backed steps to build high-performing cultures that deliver consistent business results. MELBOURNE, Australia and NEW YORK and LONDON, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Culture Amp, the world's leading employee experience platform, today reveals the next evolution in engagement and performance measurement. Built on more than 15 years of People Science research and expertise, the Performance Culture Quadrant (PCQ) connects engagement with performance confidence, offering a fundamental change to the way organizations can design and deliver high performance cultures. The ROI on culture, quantified For decades, business leaders have treated engagement and performance as competing priorities, investing in employee engagement during growth periods, then pivoting to hard performance metrics during downturns. New research from Culture Amp suggests this perceived tradeoff is leaving significant shareholder value on the table. A broad study tracked 1,800 organizations globally over two years and found that about two in five companies were in a cultural state identified as 'Peak Performance': high engagement and high performance confidence (2023-2024). Share price movement was then tracked across a subset of listed companies and found that those in Peak Performance saw a 25% increase in share price in just one year, and a 36% increase total at the two-year mark. Compared to companies in other culture states, organizations achieving Peak Performance through a dual focus on both workplace culture and organizational performance delivered a 47% share price change advantage. "As leaders globally face mounting pressure to demonstrate ROI on people investments, many have responded by treating culture and performance as an either-or decision," said Caroline Rawlinson, CEO at Culture Amp. "This research provides hard evidence that this is a false dichotomy. Culture and high performance are intimately linked as culture underpins all elements of business performance where humans are involved." Based on levels of Workplace Engagement (the relationship employees have with their work and organization) and Performance Confidence (employees' confidence in organizational success), the four distinct culture states identified in the research include: Peak Performance (high engagement, high performance confidence), Engaged Skepticism (high engagement, low performance confidence), Strained (low engagement, high performance confidence), and Disconnected (low engagement, low performance confidence). "Peak Performance isn't a cultural unicorn, nor the result of a few heroic high performing employees. Rather, it's a distinct, measurable state you can systematically work toward," says Amy Lavoie, VP, People Science at Culture Amp. "Forty-four percent of the Culture Amp customers included in the study have achieved Peak Performance, which means it is an achievable cultural state." Culture is the Operating System fuelling sustainable high performance The research arrives as organizations face competing pressures: adopt AI, upskill workforces, strengthen performance, all under tightening budgets. 96% of C-suite leaders expect AI to boost output, yet 77% of employees report that AI tools have increased their workload as key indicators of employee experience continue to trend downward (Upwork 2024; Culture Amp 2025). So when teams are pushed to do more with less, many leaders assume investing in employee engagement is a luxury. "Culture is the fundamental operating system that governs how decisions are made, which behaviors are reinforced, and ultimately how people perform," explains Rawlinson. "This research demonstrates that preserving and investing in culture is the strategic unlock that enables sustainable high performance. It's how organizations build the conditions under which teams can consistently deliver their best work, and capture measurable financial returns. Culture Amp provides the CultureOS™ for organizations wanting a tangible way to prioritise culture, performance and engagement consistently together." "People leaders have been advocating for culture investment for years, often without the financial data to justify it in board conversations," adds Lavoie. "This research changes that dynamic. We can now point to a quantifiable premium that engagement-performance integration delivers." Integrating engagement and performance: Introducing Culture Amp's Performance Culture Quadrant Available within the Culture Amp platform from today, the Performance Culture Quadrant (PCQ) materially advances organizations' ability to design and deliver high performance cultures. Building on the foundations of 15+ years of People Science research and utilizing AI, the science-backed diagnostic provides a data-driven visualization of a company's unique culture type, allowing leaders to definitively answer the question, "Do we have a high-performing culture?" "The PCQ shifted the conversation from 'how do we fix engagement' to 'how do we get to a Peak Performance Culture.' That shift has been powerful, creating stronger focus and engagement among leaders" said Sam Valentine, Head of Employee Performance and Experience at Miro. To progress from diagnosis to impact, Culture Amp's powerful AI Coach helps organizations interpret their results and pinpoint specific growth areas, such as strengthening strategic clarity or building stronger team accountability. It then delivers personalized action plans to help organizations fine-tune their CultureOS to unlock sustainable high performance and drive results - without risking employee engagement or attrition. "The Performance Culture Quadrant has dramatically accelerated how quickly we're able to work through these topics and have the right conversations," confirms Valentine. The Performance Culture Quadrant helps organizations: Connect culture to business success: Transform employee sentiment into predictors of hard business drivers like retention, productivity, and operational efficiency. Diagnose their performance culture: Finally answer the question, "Do we have a high performing culture?" and understand their unique culture type: Peak Performance, Engaged Skepticism, Strained, or Disconnected. Build a roadmap to Peak Performance with targeted recommendations for action: Culture Amp's AI Coach turns culture diagnosis into action by guiding organizations on a unique path to peak performance, focusing on high-impact growth areas specific to their culture type. Tailor roadmaps for specific departments and teams: Culture Amp's demographic capability guides every leader to move their specific part of the organization to Peak Performance. Availability The Performance Culture Quadrant and Diagnostic survey tool are now available to all Engage customers, with guided insights and recommendations provided within the platform by Culture Amp's AI Coach. For more information, visit http://www.cultureamp.com/platform/engage/performance-culture-quadrant - ends - About Culture Amp Culture Amp helps organizations assess the readiness of their culture to achieve high performance and act with confidence in an AI-driven world. Powered by 15 years of People Science research and drawing on more than 1.5 billion data points, Culture Amp acts as an always-on intelligence layer, called the CultureOS™, that connects engagement, performance, employee experience and culture data into a single unified platform. Today, 25 million employees across 6,800+ organizations, including Canva, On, Asana, Dolby, McDonald's, and Nasdaq, depend on Culture Amp to drive culture-led performance as work and technology rapidly evolve. About the Research The study analyzed data from Culture Amp's workplace dataset of over 1.5 billion employee responses, examining 1,800 companies who met required proxy items for the study. Researchers compared Culture Amp engagement and performance metrics against a subset of companies with publicly available share price data over 2023-2025. The Performance Culture diagnostic survey draws on a comprehensive review of ~50 years of academic research including meta-analyses, academic papers, and professional best practices examining the relationship between workplace culture, individual performance, and organizational outcomes. Developing the full diagnostic survey also involved drawing upon established psychological and organizational behavior theories - such as Goal-Setting Theory, Self-Determination Theory, and Psychological Safety Theory - which deeply informed the development of the product and survey dimensions.
