Sea Limited Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

Sea Limited (NYSE: SE) (“Sea” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“The first quarter of 2023 was another strong quarter for us,” said Forrest Li, Sea’s Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer. “The results for the quarter are a testament to our team’s commitment and creativity. We have innovated to do more with fewer resources, while never losing sight of our commitment to our users, and never letting our service standards fall. Across our business, we have been focused on maximizing operational efficiency and improving user experiences. And we continued to make meaningful progress on both fronts.”

“We are also pleased with the progress we have made so far to strengthen the fundamentals of our business. As we continue to fine-tune our operations and navigate near-term macro uncertainties, we remain highly confident in the long-term opportunities in our markets and our ability to capture those profitably.”

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Revenue

Our total GAAP revenue increased by 4.9% to US$3.0 billion in the first quarter of 2023 from US$2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2022.

  • Digital Entertainment: GAAP revenue was US$539.7 million compared to US$1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2022, primarily attributable to the ongoing moderation in user engagement and monetization.

  • E-commerce and other services: GAAP revenue increased by 50.7% to US$2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2023 from US$1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the improved monetization in our e-commerce business and the growth of our credit business.

  • Sales of goods: GAAP revenue was US$241.8 million, as compared to US$264.8 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Cost of Revenue

Our total cost of revenue decreased by 6.1% to US$1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2023 from US$1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2022.

  • Digital Entertainment: Cost of revenue decreased by 43.9% to US$173.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 from US$309.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, which was largely in line with the decrease in digital entertainment revenue.

  • E-commerce and other services: Cost of revenue for our e-commerce and other services segment combined was US$1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2023, relatively flat year-on-year. Improvement in gross profit margins was driven by increased monetization and greater operating cost efficiencies in our e-commerce business.

  • Cost of goods sold: Cost of goods sold decreased by 14.0% to US$209.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 from US$243.9 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Other Operating Income

Our other operating income was US$57.9 million and US$73.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Other operating income mainly consists of rebates from e-commerce related logistics services providers.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Our total sales and marketing expenses decreased by 60.2% to US$400.1 million in the first quarter of 2023 from US$1.0 billion in the first quarter of 2022. The table below sets forth breakdown of the sales and marketing expenses of our major reporting segments. Amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars (“$”).

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses across all major reporting segments was mainly attributable to our efforts to continue optimizing operating costs and achieving higher cost efficiencies.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses were US$333.4 million, as compared to US$315.7 million in the first quarter of 2022, relatively flat year-on-year as we are focusing on cost efficiencies.

Provision for Credit Losses

Our provision for credit losses increased by 120.5% to US$177.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 from US$80.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, primarily driven by expansion to a broader user base and the growth of our loan book.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses decreased by 5.8% to US$320.5 million in the first quarter of 2023 from US$340.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, primarily attributable to lower staff cost from lower headcount.

Impairment of Goodwill

We recorded an impairment of goodwill of US$117.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to nil in the first quarter of 2022. The goodwill impairment was primarily due to the change in carrying amount of goodwill associated with our prior acquisition.

Non-operating Income or Losses, Net

Non-operating income or losses mainly consist of interest income, interest expense, investment gain (loss) and foreign exchange gain (loss). We recorded a net non-operating income of US$22.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to a net non-operating loss of US$6.1 million in the first quarter of 2022. The higher net non-operating income was mainly due to higher interest income from higher yields.

Income Tax Expense

We had a net income tax expense of US$61.9 million and US$81.8 million in the first quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The income tax expense in the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to corporate income tax and withholding tax expenses incurred by our digital entertainment and e-commerce businesses.

Net Income or Loss

As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of US$87.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to net loss of US$580.1 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Basic and Diluted Earnings or Loss Per Share Attributable to Sea Limited’s Ordinary Shareholders

Basic earnings per share attributable to Sea Limited’s ordinary shareholders was US$0.16 in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to basic loss per share attributable to Sea Limited’s ordinary shareholders of US$1.04 in the first quarter of 2022.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to Sea Limited’s ordinary shareholders was US$0.15 in the first quarter of 2023.

A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: Sea’s goals and strategies; its future business development, financial condition, financial results, and results of operations; the expected growth in, and market size of, the digital entertainment, e-commerce and digital financial services industries in the markets where it operates, including segments within those industries; expected changes or guidance in its revenue, costs or expenditures; its ability to continue to source, develop and offer new and attractive online games and to offer other engaging digital entertainment content; the expected growth of its digital entertainment, e-commerce and digital financial services businesses; its expectations regarding growth in its user base, level of engagement, and monetization; its ability to continue to develop new technologies and/or upgrade its existing technologies; its expectations regarding the use of proceeds from its financing activities, including its follow-on equity offerings and convertible notes offerings; growth and trends of its markets and competition in its industries; government policies and regulations relating to its industries, including the effects of any government orders or actions on its businesses; general economic, political, social and business conditions in its markets; and the impact of widespread health developments, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and the responses thereto (such as voluntary and in some cases, mandatory quarantines as well as shut downs and other restrictions on travel and commercial, social and other activities, and the availability of effective vaccines or treatments) and the impact of economies reopening further to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate our operating performance:

  • “Adjusted EBITDA” for our digital entertainment segment represents operating income (loss) before share-based compensation plus (a) depreciation and amortization expenses, and (b) the net effect of changes in deferred revenue and its related cost for our digital entertainment segment. We believe that the segment adjusted EBITDA helps to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing their understanding of the past performance and future prospects.

  • “Adjusted EBITDA” for our e-commerce segment, digital financial services segment and other services segment represents operating income (loss) before share-based compensation plus depreciation and amortization expenses. We believe that the segment adjusted EBITDA helps to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing their understanding of the past performance and future prospects.

  • “Total adjusted EBITDA” represents the sum of adjusted EBITDA of all our segments combined, plus unallocated expenses. We believe that the total adjusted EBITDA helps to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing their understanding of the past performance and future prospects.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. None of the above financial measures should be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to revenue, net loss/income, or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to Sea’s data. We compensate for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP financial measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

The tables below present selected financial information of our reporting segments, the non-GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to GAAP financial measures, and the related reconciliations between the financial measures. Amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars (“$”) except for number of shares & per share data.

Net cash generated from financing activities amounted to US$59 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
