Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) ("Sea" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

"Our solid results for the quarter reflect our continued progress in enhancing efficiency and strengthening our ecosystem," said Forrest Li, Sea's Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer. "Shopee's unit economics improved significantly driven by gains in both monetization and efficiency across our markets, even as we sustained a healthy growth rate against tough comparisons. At Garena, we saw positive outcomes from our focus on user retention and efforts to bring more engaging experiences to our large global games community, with quarterly active users stable quarter-on-quarter. We also benefited from expanding synergies between Shopee and SeaMoney as our underserved user base adopted more of our financial products and services, resulting in strong growth and narrowing losses at SeaMoney."

"Our success has always been defined by our ability to focus on the right thing at the right time, quickly make the right strategic decisions, and remain agile and adaptable in our execution. During the pandemic lockdowns, we rapidly scaled our businesses to answer to the fast-rising market demand for online consumption and services. That allowed us to significantly expand our businesses and total addressable markets, strengthen our market leadership, and scale up more efficiently."

"As we navigate the current environment of increased macro uncertainty with that same nimble and decisive approach, we believe it is vital to be thoughtful, prudent, and disciplined. While we have strong resources and are well on-track to achieve our self-sufficiency targets, we are nevertheless rapidly prioritizing profitability and cash flow management. We are confident that this focus, combined with our demonstrated ability to execute, our scale and leadership, and our proven business models, will position us for long-term sustained success."

E-commerce Full Year 2022 Guidance Update

In our efforts to adapt to increasing macro uncertainties, we are proactively shifting our strategies to further focus on efficiency and optimization for the long-term strength and profitability of the e-commerce business. Given this strategic shift, we will be suspending e-commerce GAAP revenue guidance for the full year 2022. We believe such efforts will further strengthen our ability to better capture the long-term growth opportunities in our markets, which we remain highly positive about.

¹		We recorded an impairment of goodwill of US$177.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. The impairment was primarily due to the change in carrying amount of goodwill associated with our prior acquisitions, mainly driven by the lower valuations amid the market uncertainties.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Revenue

Our total GAAP revenue increased by 29.0% to US$2.9 billion in the second quarter of 2022 from US$2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2021.

Digital Entertainment: GAAP revenue was US$0.9 billion compared to US$1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the softening of bookings post-COVID.

E-commerce and other services: GAAP revenue increased by 75.6% to US$1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2022 from US$1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily driven by the growing adoption of products and services across our e-commerce and digital financial services businesses.

Sales of goods: GAAP revenue increased by 11.7% to US$286.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 from US$256.6 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to the increase in our product offerings.

Cost of Revenue

Our total cost of revenue increased by 37.2% to US$1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2022 from US$1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2021.

Digital Entertainment: Cost of revenue decreased by 11.0% to US$260.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 from US$292.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was largely in line with the decrease in our digital entertainment revenue.

E-commerce and other services: Cost of revenue for our e-commerce and other services segment combined increased by 62.8% to US$1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2022 from US$0.8 billion in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher costs of logistics from order growth, and other costs driven by the growth of our e-commerce marketplace. Improvement in gross profit margins was mainly due to faster growth of higher margin revenue streams.

Cost of goods sold: Cost of goods sold increased by 9.1% to US$262.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 from US$240.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was largely in line with the increase in our revenue from sales of goods.

Other Operating Income

Our other operating income was US$71.1 million and US$72.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, 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 increased by 5.7% to US$1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2022 from US$0.9 billion in the second quarter of 2021. The table below sets forth breakdown of the sales and marketing expenses of our major reporting segments. Amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars ("$").

	For the Three Months ended June 30,
	2021	2022	YOY%
Sales and Marketing Expenses	$	$
Digital Entertainment	82,038	87,100	6.2	%
E-commerce	649,196	674,120	3.8	%
Digital Financial Services	166,270	162,466	(2.3	)%

Digital Entertainment: Sales and marketing expenses increased by 6.2% to US$87.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 from US$82.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to our continued efforts to deepen the engagement with our gamers' community and investment in long-term brand building.

E-commerce: Sales and marketing expenses increased by 3.8% to US$674.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 from US$649.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to higher events and media spending and staff cost increase attributable to headcount growth.

Digital Financial Services: Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 2.3% to US$162.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 from US$166.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the greater efficiency across our platforms.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 95.9% to US$476.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 from US$243.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to increase in allowance for credit losses from our digital financial services business driven by loans receivables growth, higher staff cost as well as higher office facilities and related expenses, to support the business growth.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses increased by 115.0% to US$370.9 million in the second quarter of 2022 from US$172.6 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily attributable to higher staff cost from increased headcount growth, as we invested in our technological capabilities and expanded our service offerings.

Impairment of Goodwill

We recorded an impairment of goodwill of US$177.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to nil in the second quarter of 2021. The goodwill impairment was primarily due to the change in carrying amount of goodwill associated with our prior acquisitions, mainly driven by the lower valuations amid the market uncertainties.

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 loss of US$32.8 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to a net non-operating loss of US$25.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. The non-operating loss in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to investment losses recognized amid lower valuations in the broader market.

Income Tax Expense

We had a net income tax expense of US$64.8 million and US$75.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The income tax expense in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to corporate income tax and withholding tax expenses incurred by our digital entertainment segment.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, we had net losses of US$931.2 million and US$433.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net Loss Excluding Share-based Compensation and Impairment of Goodwill

Net loss excluding share-based compensation and impairment of goodwill, was US$569.8 million and US$321.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

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:

"Net loss excluding share-based compensation and impairment of goodwill" represents net loss before share-based compensation and impairment of goodwill. This financial measure helps to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in net loss. The use of this measure has its limitations in that it does not include all items that impact the net loss or income for the period, and share-based compensation and impairment of goodwill are significant expenses.

"Net loss excluding share-based compensation and impairment of goodwill attributable to Sea Limited's ordinary shareholders" represents net loss attributable to Sea Limited's ordinary shareholders before share-based compensation and impairment of goodwill. This financial measure helps to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in net loss. The use of this measure has its limitations in that it does not include all items that impact the net loss or income for the period, and share-based compensation and impairment of goodwill are significant expenses.

"Basic and diluted loss per share based on net loss excluding share-based compensation and impairment of goodwill attributable to Sea Limited's ordinary shareholders" represents net loss excluding share-based compensation and impairment of goodwill attributable to Sea Limited's ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

"Adjusted EBITDA" for our digital entertainment segment represents operating income (loss) before share-based compensation and impairment of goodwill 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 and impairment of goodwill 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.
