Sea Limited Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sea Limited (NYSE: SE) (“Sea” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“The momentum from our strong start to 2025 has continued into the second quarter. All three of our businesses have delivered robust, healthy growth, giving us greater confidence of delivering another great year,” said Forrest Li, Sea’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Given the high potential of our markets and the stage we are at in our business now, we will continue to prioritize growth, which will pave the way for us to maximize our long-term profitability. At the same time, our company has reached a stage where we can pursue growth opportunities while improving profitability.”

On e-commerce, he said, “After a record-high Q1, Shopee has delivered another record-breaking Q2. GMV grew 25% year-on-year in the first half, and we expect this growth momentum to carry into Q3.” On Brazil, he added, “This quarter, we celebrated Shopee’s 5-year anniversary in Brazil, and I am very proud of what the team has achieved: we have become the market leader by order volume, we continue to grow fast, and we are operating profitably. We remain committed to delivering strong, profitable growth while reinforcing our market leadership across Asia and Brazil.”

On digital financial services, Mr. Li said, “Monee has delivered excellent growth throughout the first half of the year, diversified its loan portfolio across markets and products, and maintained high asset quality through prudent risk management. It is exciting that our credit business is still in the early stages in many of our markets, reinforcing our strong conviction in Monee’s long-term growth and earnings potential.”

On digital entertainment, Mr. Li said, “Garena has delivered a very strong performance in the first half of this year. We believe Free Fire has established itself as an evergreen franchise, both sustaining its user engagement and growing its appeal in more markets globally. We are also committed to trying out new genres and new markets, and testing the boundaries of future game experiences by embracing AI. Given all of this, we are raising our full-year guidance for Garena, and expect bookings to grow more than 30% in 2025, year-on-year.”

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$2,632 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily attributable to increase in loans receivable of our credit business of US$2,044 million, net placement of US$363 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$216 million to support the existing operations. Net cash generated from financing activities amounted to US$329 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily attributable to an increase in bank deposits of US$445 million as well as net proceeds from other funding sources related to credit business of US$118 million, offset by the cash used in repurchase of convertible notes of US$233 million.

UNAUDITED SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has three reportable segments, namely e-commerce, digital financial services and digital entertainment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), comprising our senior management team, evaluates each segment's financial performance by reviewing revenue, significant operating expenses, and segment operating income or loss. To allocate resources for each segment, the CODM evaluates these results, along with certain key operating metrics of each segment. This assessment is done regularly by monitoring each segment's actual financial and operating performance against projections as part of the Company's business planning and budgeting process. Amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars (“$”).

(4)

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.
