Sea Limited Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sea Limited (NYSE: SE) (“Sea” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

“We have delivered another great quarter of strong growth with improving profitability across all three businesses. Our strong start to the year gives us more confidence of achieving our full-year guidance.” said Forrest Li, Sea’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

On e-commerce, he said, “Shopee has delivered a record-high GMV and gross order volume in the first quarter. We sustained market leadership with improved profitability across both Asia and Brazil. Our strong execution of our operational priorities – enhancing price competitiveness, improving service quality, and strengthening our content ecosystem – has continued to make Shopee competitive and differentiated.”

On digital financial services, Mr. Li shared that SeaMoney had been rebranded to Monee. “We chose the name Monee because it is simple, cute, and, just like our company’s name Sea, easy to write and pronounce. Monee also resonates well with the name of its sister brand, Shopee, reflecting the seamless, synergetic connection between the two ecosystems.”

On Monee’s performance for the quarter, Mr. Li said, “Monee delivered another strong set of results, with both revenue and adjusted EBITDA growing more than 50% year-on-year while maintaining stable asset quality. As we scale, we remain focused on risk management as a top priority. We are confident that we can grow Monee in a way that is resilient to credit cycles and profitable into the long term.”

On digital entertainment, Mr. Li said, “Garena had a stellar start to 2025, with its best quarter since 2021. Thanks to the phenomenal success of the Free Fire and NARUTO collaboration in January, Free Fire’s average DAU in the first quarter was close to its peak quarterly average DAU during the pandemic. We will continue to drive Free Fire’s popularity and longevity, improve localized content across our games, and expand our game portfolio for overall sustained growth.”

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$1,115 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was primarily attributable to increase in loans receivable of our credit business of US$942 million. Net cash generated from financing activities amounted to US$274 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was primarily attributable to an increase in bank deposits of US$328 million, offset by the cash used in repurchase of convertible notes of US$139 million.

(1) 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) The significant expenses categories and other income amounts align with the segmental-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM.

(3) Other operating expenses for E-commerce and Digital Entertainment include general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and provision for credit losses, net of other operating income. Other operating expenses for Digital Financial Services include general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, net of other operating income.

(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.
