Zepp Health Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2022 Unaudited Financial Results

BEIJING, Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zepp Health Corporation ("Zepp" or the "Company") (NYSE: ZEPP) today reported revenues of RMB1.1 billion (US$165.5 million); GAAP diluted net loss per share of RMB0.44 (US$0.07); and GAAP diluted net loss per ADS of RMB1.74 (US$0.26) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. Each ADS represents four Class A ordinary shares.

"Our second quarter revenues improved from the first quarter, which highlights our execution capabilities, product strength and disciplined business management approach, in the face of macro economic challenges. We achieved RMB1.1 billion in revenues, representing a 46.4% increase quarter-over-quarter. Our year-over-year revenues decreased by 39.6%, mainly due to the different product launch timing compared with last year, especially when Mi-band 7 was launched at the end of the second quarter due to continued chip shortage." said Wang Huang, Chairman and CEO of Zepp Health. "The improvement of our second quarter from first quarter also illustrated our effective product strategy and our ability to extend and solidify our market position. I am optimistic we can deliver stronger results in the second half of 2022 as we have witnessed strong sales traction from our self-branded smartwatches, including Amazfit T-Rex 2, Amazfit Bip 3 and Amazfit Bip 3 Pro, since their launch toward the end of the second quarter. As a company passionately committed to technological innovation, we are constantly expanding our technology footprint to attract more users to join our flourishing Zepp OS ecosystem. From June 1 to August 31, we are hosting the first-ever Zepp OS Global Online Hackathon to create closer bonds with developers worldwide and foster smartwatch innovation."

Chief Financial Officer, Leon Deng, added, "Second quarter results demonstrated our resilience against multiple macroeconomic headwinds. During the period, our improved revenues and effective expense control initiatives helped us further narrow our operating loss by RMB44.8 million quarter-over-quarter. I am confident that our strict management of costs and expansion of product portfolio will position us for long-term success."

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenues

Total units shipped in the second quarter 2022 decreased by 45.2% year-over-year to 6.3 million, compared with 11.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. This was mainly caused by a 50.0% decrease in units of products built for Xiaomi, due to different product launch timing compared with last year.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2022 reached RMB1.1 billion (US$165.5 million), a decrease of 39.6% from the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was mostly because the Mi band 7 was launched two-month later than Mi Band 6 in the comparison period. Our self-brand product sales were affected by lower consumer discretionary spending. We launched Amazfit Trex 2 and Bip new series, which showed early success in June and continued to gain traction heading into the third quarter.

Impact of COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine Conflict on Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a significant impact around the world in the second quarter of 2022, prompting governments and businesses to take unprecedented measures, such as restrictions on business operations, temporary closures of businesses, travels, and quarantine and shelter-in-place orders.

The fresh lockdowns in China affected the retail store sales and brought challenges to our supply chain globally. Shortages of electronic components and chips for different industries persisted and accordingly affected the supply and production cycle for the Company. Furthermore, the lockdowns of several megacities in China, especially Shanghai, weakened consumer demand, as well as posted big challenges to the Company's supply chain for the quarter, causing delays for our products to arrive at target markets, and this continued into the second quarter. Given the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic at the time of this release, the Company cannot predict the extent of future negative impacts on market conditions or the Company's operations.

The continued conflict situation between Russia and the Ukraine affected the demand for and sales of Xiaomi wearable products and our self-branded products in the affected regions. As Europe is one of the biggest sales regions for the Company, the conflict also affected freight cost, consumer confidence in Europe and the EUR currency value. Revenue from sales of products in Russia and Ukraine accounted for approximately 4% of our total revenues in 2021. Currently the situation does not have a material adverse impact on the Company.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the second quarter of 2022 was 17.9%, lower by 4.1% compared with 22.0% for the same period of 2021 and lower by 2.2% compared with 20.1% for the first quarter of 2022. Lower gross margin in the second quarter of 2022 resulted from higher outbound freight cost globally versus the same period last year, adverse currency depreciation impact, and promotions for our previous generation products to prepare for the new product launches.

Research and Development

Research and development expense in the second quarter of 2022 was RMB129.0 million, decreasing 19.5% year-over-year, and comprising 11.6% of revenues, versus 8.7% for the same period last year. This was mainly driven by expense optimization. Furthermore, the Company is holding Zepp OS Global Online Hackathon around the world and have attracted thousands of third-party developers to develop their apps and programs on the Company's developer community website. Now users could find several mini games on our GT3 smartwatch. Zepp OS is a platform to form economic scale to streamline the R&D expenses and integrate different programs.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expense in the second quarter of 2022 was RMB108.3 million, increasing 3.4% year-over-year, and comprising 9.8% of revenues, compared with 5.7% of revenue for the same period in 2021. The increase was due to the e-commerce online advertisement promotions for our self-branded products to match with competitors.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense was RMB71.7 million in the second quarter of 2022, increasing 7.9% year-over-year, and comprising 6.5% of revenues, compared with 3.6% in the same period in 2021. It was largely attributable to exchange rate fluctuation.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were RMB308.9 million, a decrease of 6.8% year-over-year, which accounted for 27.9% of revenues for the period, as compared with 18.1% in the second quarter of 2021. In 2022, the Company will continue to work on cost optimization to adapt to the macro environment and strive for profitability realization for the future.

Operating Income/(Loss)

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2022 was RMB110.6 million, which decreased by RMB182.2 million from operating income of RMB71.6 million for the same period in 2021. The loss was mainly caused by the decreased revenue scale, which could not cover the relatively fixed operating expenses in the quarter.

Net Income/(Loss)

Net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the second quarter of 2022 was RMB106.9 million, compared with RMB92.6 million net income in the second quarter of 2021. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of RMB997.1 million (US$148.9 million), compared with RMB1,052.9 million as of March 31, 2022 and RMB1,509.5 million as of December 31, 2021.

Share Repurchase Program Update

The Company had announced in its third quarter 2021 earnings release that the board had authorized a share repurchase program of up to US$20 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has used US$8.8 million to repurchase 2,163,282 ADSs. The Company intends to continue with the repurchase program.

Outlook

For the third quarter of 2022, the management of the Company currently expects:

-  Net revenues to be between RMB1.2 billion and RMB1.5 billion, compared with RMB1.61 billion in the third quarter of 2021. 

This outlook reflects continued uncertainty pertaining to the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on sales and on electronic component delays, as well as the expected sales seasonality of both self-branded and Xiaomi products. It 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/(loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net income/(loss) represents net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses, and such adjustment has no impact on income tax. Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes share-based compensation expenses attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, and is used as the numerator in computation of adjusted net income/(loss) per share and per ADS attributable to Zepp Health Corporation.

We believe that adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net income/(loss) and net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation. We believe that adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation 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/(loss) and adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income/(loss), basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share and per ADS attributable to Zepp Health 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/(loss) and adjusted net income/(loss) 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.
