On Shopee’s 2024 outlook, he said, “With the strong results delivered in the first half and our outlook for the rest of the year, we expect that Shopee will become adjusted EBITDA positive from the third quarter. We are also revising up our guidance for Shopee’s 2024 full year GMV growth to mid-20%.”

On digital entertainment, Mr. Li said, “Garena delivered a strong quarter, with more than 20% year-on-year growth in bookings, mainly contributed by Free Fire.” On Free Fire, Mr. Li said, “I am very proud to share that, every single day throughout Q2, Free Fire had more than 100 million daily active players. This reinforces our conviction that Free Fire is an evergreen franchise.”

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Revenue

Our total GAAP revenue increased by 23.0% to US$3.8 billion in the second quarter of 2024 from US$3.1 billion in the second quarter of 2023.

  • Digital Entertainment: GAAP revenue was US$435.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to US$529.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. Despite the increase in bookings during the second quarter of 2024, the decrease in GAAP revenue was primarily due to lower recognition of accumulated deferred revenue due to lower bookings in previous quarters.
  • E-commerce and other services: GAAP revenue increased by 30.4% to US$3.0 billion in the second quarter of 2024 from US$2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by the GMV growth of our e-commerce business and the growth of our credit business.
  • Sales of goods: GAAP revenue increased by 40.5% to US$342.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 from US$243.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.

  • Digital Entertainment: Cost of revenue decreased by 13.2% to US$139.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 from US$160.7 million in the second quarter of 2023.
  • E-commerce and other services: Cost of revenue for our e-commerce and other services segment combined was US$1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to US$1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by an increase in logistics costs as orders volume grew.
  • Cost of goods sold: Cost of goods sold increased by 44.0% to US$317.7 million in the second quarter of 2024 from US$220.6 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Other Operating Income

Our other operating income was US$42.6 million and US$58.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Other operating income mainly consists of rebates from e-commerce related logistics services providers.

We recorded a net non-operating income of US$56.4 million in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to a net non-operating income of US$107.6 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Among other things, statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Sea’s beliefs and expectations, the business, financial and market outlook, and projections from its management in this announcement, as well as Sea’s strategic and operational plans, contain forward-looking statements. Sea may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases, and other written materials, and in oral statements made by its officers, directors, or employees to third parties. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. 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; 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.

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) 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) 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 used in investing activities amounted to US$1,564 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was primarily attributable to increase in loans receivable of our credit business of US$873 million, net placement of US$575 million in securities purchased under agreements to resell, time deposits and liquid investment products, for better cash yield management and purchase of property and equipment of US$91 million to support the existing operations. Net cash generated from financing activities amounted to US$426 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was primarily attributable to an increase in bank deposits of US$674 million, offset by the cash used in repurchase of convertible notes of US$176 million as well as net repayment of our other funding sources related to the credit business of US$70 million.

A combination of multiple business activities that do not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable segments are grouped together as “Other Services”.

(2)

Unallocated expenses are mainly related to share-based compensation and general and corporate administrative costs such as professional fees and other miscellaneous items that are not allocated to segments. These expenses are excluded from segment results as they are not reviewed by the CODM as part of segment performance.
