Zepp Health Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2021 Unaudited Financial Results

BEIJING,Nov. 16,2021 -- Zepp Health Corporation ("Zepp" or the "Company") (NYSE: ZEPP) today reported revenue of RMB1.6 billion (US$249.3 million); GAAP diluted net income per share of RMB0.19 (US$0.03); and GAAP diluted net income per ADS of RMB0.74 (US$0.11) for the third quarter ended September 30,2021. Each ADS represents four (4) Class A ordinary shares.

"Despite global supply chain and chip shortage challenges affecting many companies,we are pleased to meet our guidance range for the third quarter of 2021," said Wang Huang,Chairman and CEO of Zepp Health. "Even without any new product launches,unit shipment volumes of Amazfit and Zepp branded products increased 89% year-over-year,demonstrating continuing global expansion of our brands. We began the fourth quarter with new technology and products,including our new OS for independent apps and the launch of the next generation 3 of our best-selling GT series watch line."

"Today,our board approved a $20 million share repurchase program." Mr. Huang added,"The Share Repurchase Program is well aligned with our commitment to maximizing value for all of our stakeholders and reflects the Company's confidence in its sustainable growth and long-term strategy,supported by the strong balance sheet and cash position."

Chief Financial Officer,Leon Deng,added "In addition to the strong growth of the Company's own branded products,third quarter topline performance reflected the different timing for the launch ofXiaomi's new Mi Band in the second quarter this year,as well as impacts of supply chain slowdowns and chip shortages. Despite these challenges,we successfully managed to continue our expense control,which reduced total operating expenses by 31.2%."

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenue

Total units shipped in the third quarter of 2021 decreased by 37.7% year-over-year to 9.9 million,compared with 15.9 million in the third quarter of 2020. This was driven by a 45.3% decrease in unit shipments of Xiaomi wearable products partially offset by a 88.9% increase in unit shippments of Amazfit and Zepp branded products.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2021 reached RMB1.61 billion (US$249.3 million),a decrease of 28.1% from the third quarter of 2020,primarily as a result of decrease in sales of Xiaomi werable products as compared with the same period in 2020,which was due to the different launch time of Mi Band 5 and 6. Meanwhile,the revenue from our self-branded products increased,primarily driven by the sales of the Company's popular premium GT series,basic Bip and Pop models and rugged T-Rex.

Both sequential and year-over-year quarterly revenue changes can be affected by fluctuations in seasonal purchase patterns as well as by the timing of new product introductions.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continued in the third quarter 2021,primarily manifesting as parts and supply chain challenges globally. The market is experiencing shortages of electronic components and chips for different industries,affecting the supply and production cycle for the Company,as well. Zepp Health had increased inventories of some parts,but supply chain delays of certain parts for a month affected production of finished goods. The Company cannot predict the potential,if any,future negative impact on market conditions or the Company's operations.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the thirdquarter of 2021 was 20.2%,compared with 20.6% in the same period of 2020. Gross margin and gross profit are affected by product mix as different products have different margin contributions. These changes can also be influenced by the stage of the product in its lifecycle,product iterations and new product introductions.

Research & Development

Research and development expense in the third quarter of 2021 was RMB108.7 million,decreasing 37.1% year-over year,and comprising 6.8% of revenue,versus 7.7% in the same period last year. This reflects effective expense control in R&D activities and compensation from government subsidy. The company optimized its integrated product development process to effectively develop new smart devices and promoted its open platform ZEPP OS to welcome more outside developers to upload their apps and programs on the smart watches.

Sales & Marketing

Sales and Marketing expense in the thirdquarter of 2021 was RMB90.7 million,decreasing 21.5% year-over-year,and comprising 5.6% of revenue,compared with 5.2% of revenue in the same period in 2020. The decrease was due to effective expense control on marketing expenses while balancing investments to expand sales channels andmarkets around the world.

General & Administrative

General and Administrative expense was RMB61.9 million in the third quarter of 2021,decreasing 32.0% year-over-year,and comprising 3.9% of revenue,compared with 4.1% in the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the vesting of share-based compensation.

Operating Expenses and Net Income

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were RMB261.3 million,a decrease of RMB118.2 million from the same period in 2020,comprising 16.3% of revenue,compared with 17.0% in the third quarter of 2020.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2021 was RMB62.5 million,a decrease of 22.5% from RMB80.6 million for the same period in 2020.

Net income attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the third quarter of 2021 was RMB49.3 million,compared with RMB81.1 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30,2021,the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB1,229.3 million (US$190.8 million),compared with RMB2,273.3 million as of December 31,2020.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company's board of directors has approved a share repurchase program whereby the Company is authorized to repurchase up to US$20 million worth of its shares (including in the form of American depositary shares) over the next 12 months.

The Company's proposed repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices,in privately negotiated transactions,in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means,depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The Company's board of directors will review the share repurchase program periodically,and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size. The Company expects to fund the repurchases out of its existing cash balance.‎

Outlook

For the fourthquarter of 2021,the management of the Company currently expects:

- Net revenues to be between RMB1.75 billion and RMB2.0 billion,compared with RMB1.97 billion in the fourth quarter of 2020.

This outlook reflects continuing uncertainty pertaining to the potential affects of the COVID-19 pandemic on sales and on electronic component delays,as well as 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.
