Huami Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2020 Unaudited Financial Results

BEIJING, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Huami Corporation (NYSE: HMI) today reported revenue of RMB2.2 billion, or US$329.2 million; GAAP diluted net income per share of RMB0.31 (US$0.05), or GAAP diluted net income per ADS of RMB1.24 (US$0.18) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

"Third quarter unit and revenue growth of 16% and 20%, respectively, was predominantly driven by shipments of the Xiaomi Mi Band 5, continued geographic expansion, and the effect of improved economic conditions in many regions," said Wang Huang, Chairman and CEO of Huami. "We are continuing our strategy as a value leader, leveraging our proprietary technology to drive feature set/price points that are attractive to many budget ranges, and we launched a number of promising new products in the third quarter. At the same time we are continuing to explore the healthcare services business with our partners like Prudential Asia, in order to capture the opportunities in the fast-growing healthcare service industry."

"We continue to manage the business for long-term success," added chief financial officer Leon Deng. "However, we experienced some new products launch plan delays and production delays due to the pandemic, and resurgence of the virus in many key markets tempers our near-term outlook. As a result, we will be exercising control on expenses in the coming quarter by focusing on projects with higher return on investment."

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Revenue

Total units shipped in the third quarter 2020 increased 16.1% year-over-year, reaching 15.9 million, compared with 13.7 million in the third quarter of 2019. Third quarter revenues reached RMB2,235.1 million (US$329.2 million), an increase of 20% from the third quarter of 2019. The increase in the quarter was driven primarily by sales through Xiaomi, principally the new Mi Band 5. Sales of self-branded products in the third quarter were primarily driven by new products, including the new Amazfit watches and TWS earbuds. Both sequential and year-over-year quarterly revenue changes can be affected by seasonality of purchase patterns globally, as well as by timing of new product introductions.

Covid-19 Impact

The negative impact of Covid-19 receded in Q3 on retail sales and the worldwide economy generally. China's GDP rose 5% in the third quarter, some sectors of European retail were stronger, and U.S. retail sales increased 5% in September. We believe this was a contributing factor to Huami's growth in the third quarter, and we experienced a significant rebound and growth of device activations in most of the markets during the quarter, compared sequentially to the June quarter.

Production delays related to the pandemic in the quarter delayed the launch date of a new product and affected new product inventory availability.

Currently, it is reported that a new resurgence of COVID-19 cases is widely around the world, including the U.S., many European countries, Russia, and Japan. Renewed restrictions are being implemented and considered. We expect this resurgence to negatively impact our customers and fourth quarter sales of our key product categories.

Longer-term, smart health technology plays a unique and important role in healthcare, as outlined in a recent white paper published by the company. Industry forecasts and research into consumer adoption and use of wearables and personal health technology still point to strong future demand. However, the company expects the near-term disruptions to daily life on a global scale will impact the fourth quarter, and are setting its expectations accordingly.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the third quarter 2020 was 20.6%, compared with 25.2% in the year-ago third quarter. Gross margin and gross profit are affected by product mix as different products have different margin contributions, and these can change over the life of a product. In the third quarter 2020, mix between total Xiaomi and self-branded unit shipments was the same as the prior year's quarter, but gross margin was predominantly driven by lower margins on Xiaomi products compared to the year-ago quarter.

Research & Development

Third quarter 2020 R&D expense was RMB172.9 million, increasing 38.8% year-over year, and comprised 7.7% of revenue, compared to 6.7% of revenue in the year-ago third quarter, reflecting personnel additions and expansion of R&D activities for future products and new product categories, including consumer products and analytics solutions for industry. The company believes that smart R&D investment is key, and that at this percent of sales level is adequately resourced to effectively develop and bring to market new smart devices and analytics for consumers and industry.

Sales & Marketing

Sales and Marketing expense for the third quarter 2020 was RMB115.6 million, increasing 104.2% year-over-year, and comprised 5.2% of revenue, compared to 3.0% of revenue in the year-ago quarter. Higher sales and marketing expense in 2020 was mainly driven by brand promotions for our own branded products globally.  

General & Administrative

General and Administrative expense was RMB91.0 million, increasing 30.8% year-over-year, and comprised 4.1% of revenue, compared to 3.7% in the 2019 third quarter. The increase is primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation.

Operating Income and Expenses

Total Operating Expense for the third quarter 2020 was RMB379.5 million, up 51.3% from the year-ago quarter, reflecting the investments in R&D, Sales and Marketing and G&A described in the preceding sections. Total operating expense represented 17.0% of revenue in the third quarter 2020 compared to 13.5% in the year-ago quarter. The company will be exercising control on expenses in the fourth quarter, focusing on costs as a percent of sales.

Operating Income for the third quarter 2020 was RMB80.6 million, down 63.2% from RMB219.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB2,555.6 million (US$376.4 million), compared with RMB1,803.1 million as of December 31, 2019.

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2020, the management of the Company currently expects:

-  Net revenues to be between RMB1.95 billion and RMB2.15 billion, compared with RMB2.11 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019.

The above outlook is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company management's current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We use adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and such adjustment has no impact on income tax. Adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Huami Corporation is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes share-based compensation expenses attributable to ordinary shareholders of Huami Corporation, and is used as the numerator in computation of adjusted net income per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of Huami Corporation.

We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net income and net income attributable to ordinary shareholders. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income, basic and diluted net income per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of Huami Corporation or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, 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 our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
