SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sea Limited (NYSE: SE) (“Sea” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

In the third quarter of 2026, Sea’s GAAP revenue was US$8.6 billion, up 43.4% year-on-year. The Company also achieved gross profit of US$3.9 billion, up 51.4% year-on-year, and net income of US$502.5 million, up 34.0% year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased by 28.9% year-on-year to reach US$931.3 million.

“Our strong momentum from the first half of the year has continued into the third quarter. We are pleased with this solid performance, and will continue to focus on executing our priorities with discipline,” said Forrest Li, Sea’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

On Shopee, he said, “Shopee delivered another strong quarter, again achieving new record highs in both top- and bottom-line metrics. Our strategies have proven effective at strengthening our fundamentals, giving us a growing buyer base, stronger monetization, and improving unit economics.”

On Monee, Mr. Li said, “Monee also delivered another quarter of healthy growth while staying disciplined in how we manage risk and how we invest. We are reaching more users, deepening relationships with existing ones, and extending credit into more everyday spending scenarios, both on- and off-Shopee.”

On Garena, Mr. Li said, “Garena delivered a solid third quarter, with bookings continuing to grow and profitability continuing to improve. Free Fire anchored this performance with strong bookings growth, and Arena of Valor continued its strong momentum from its 10th year anniversary celebrations.”

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, results of operations, financing needs, and sources of funding; the expected growth in, and market size of, the e-commerce, digital financial services, and digital entertainment industries in the markets where it operates, including segments within those industries; expected changes or guidance in its revenue, costs and expenses, or capital expenditures; its ability to continue to source, develop and offer new and attractive online games and to offer other engaging Garena content; the expected growth of its Shopee, Monee and Garena 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; risks associated with new business initiatives, including our artificial intelligence, cloud, and infrastructure initiatives; 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 Shopee segment, Monee segment, Garena 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. As mentioned in our prior earnings release, we have excluded the net effect of changes in deferred revenue and its related cost in Adjusted EBITDA for our Garena segment but continue to disclose it as supplemental information.

• “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 (“$”).

UNAUDITED SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has three reportable segments, namely Shopee, Monee and Garena. 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 (“$”).

Key Terms

gaap financial

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

View in glossary

adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

non-performing loans financial

Loans on a bank’s books where the borrower has stopped making scheduled payments for a prolonged period (commonly about 90 days), so the lender no longer expects full repayment on time. Think of them as overdue IOUs that may never be paid back; a rising level of such loans weakens a lender’s earnings and balance sheet, signals greater credit risk in the economy, and can hurt investors through lower dividends, loan losses, or declines in the lender’s stock value.

off-book loans financial

Loans that a lender originates or arranges but does not record on its own balance sheet; instead the credit is held by another party or vehicle (for example through sale, securitization, or placement with investors) so the original lender shows no loan asset and related liabilities on its financial statements. Off-book loans can still create economic exposure for the original lender if it provides guarantees, liquidity support, servicing duties, or other contractual ties, and they are distinct from on‑balance-sheet loans because they may not count toward the lender’s regulatory capital or leverage until any recourse is triggered.
