Zepp Health Corporation Reports First Quarter 2023 Unaudited Financial Results

BEIJING,May 23,2023 -- Zepp Health Corporation ("Zepp" or the "Company") (NYSE: ZEPP) today reported revenues of RMB0.6 billion (US$93.9 million); a GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share of RMB0.56 (US$0.08); and a GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ADS of RMB2.23 (US$0.32) for the first quarter ended March 31,2023. Each ADS represents four Class A ordinary shares.

"Our first quarter revenue came in within our guidance range at RMB645.2 million,including 60% of self-branded revenue. Total revenue down 14.8% year-over-year,the decrease is mainly due to the macroeconomic uncertainties globally that dampened discretionary consumption especially in the electronic devices market in the first quarter." Said Wayne Wang Huang,Chairman and CEO of Zepp Health."We have successfully met our objective of reducing quarterly operating expenses to RMB254 million (adjusted operating expenses to RMB230 million),and we remain dedicated to implementing stringent cost control measures in the future. Our commitment to investing in state-of-the-art technology and product development remains steadfast. We will launch an advanced platform that integrates Zepp OS and our unique RISC-V based chip. This approach reduces the need for additional resources and ensures the development of high-quality hardware and software. Therefore,it allows us to develop new products quickly,inexpensively,and with outstanding quality,ultimately leading to increased efficiency and profitability in the future. By incorporating these latest cutting-edge technologies into our smartwatch products,we have successfully engaged with our users,grown alongside them,cultivated a thriving community,and established a distinct brand and market position."

"We are thrilled to introduce our highly anticipated new products,including the Trex Ultra,and GTR mini. Moreover,as a technology-driven smart wearable and healthcare solution provider and industry pioneer,we recently applied large language model (LLM) and Generative AI technology to our smart wearables. We are empowering users to make informed decisions and achieve their wellness and fitness goals intelligently. These AI empowered functionalities such as Zepp Coach,Zepp Aura,and Zepp AI Flex. Zepp Chatfacer will further enhance our products' competency. In the meantime,we strive to enhance the user experience in Zepp OS by integrating generative AI technology. As we continue to develop Zepp OS,we will also incorporate the latest GPT-4 technology to further advance the intelligence and functionality of the platform to outperform our competitors. Through these efforts,we hope to provide our users with a seamless and intuitive experience that truly meets their evolving needs."

Chief Financial Officer Leon Deng added,"In the first quarter,we experienced a shift in China's Covid-Zero Policy,which interrupted some of our new product launch schedules. As a result,we had to postpone some releases of our new product lines to subsequent quarters,which had a negative impact on our Q1 sales. The gross margin for Xiaomi products declined significantly because of Xiaomi's pricing policy and the deliberate clearance of our older version self-branded products to optimize inventory levels,altogether driving our overall gross margin to 15.9% in the first quarter. Nevertheless,our newly launched products achieved an impressive margin of 34.6% during the quarter. With inventory reaching a more reasonable level,we are confident that our overall margin will improve in the future."

"Our cost control and productivity improvement measures continued to drive year-over-year decreases in our operating expenses in terms of both absolute amounts and as a percentage of revenue. As a result,we narrowed our operating loss in the first quarter by 2.9% year-over-year. Our inventory balance continued to trend down,and we delivered a three-quarter consecutive positive operating cash inflow thanks to our efficient working capital management. For the remainder of 2023,we will continue to strengthen our brands and products while cutting the running rate of our expenses further as we target a turnaround in profitability in the future."

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenues

Revenues for the first quarter of 2023 reached RMB0.6 billion (US$93.9 million),a decrease of 14.8% from the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in total revenues was mainly due to a 21.2% year-over-year decrease in our self-branded product sales. The decrease was in line with the decline of consumer electronics market at large and lower consumer discretionary spending.

Total units shipped in the first quarter of 2023 decreased by 5.4% year-over-year to 3.5 million,compared with 3.7 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the firstquarter of 2023 was 15.9%,4.2 percentage points lower than 20.1% in the same period of 2022. The first quarter's lower margin was dragged down by price reduction of Mi Band 7 and clearance and write-down of old version of self-branded products.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were RMB117.9 million,a decrease of 19.5% year-over-year. This comprised 18.3% of revenues,versus 19.3% for the same period in 2022. The decrease was mainly driven by the research project optimization and personnel cost reduction.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were RMB86.0 million,a decrease of 16.6% year-over-year. We pruned our retail channels and applied a strict ROI approach on marketing campaigns which in turn lowered our overall selling and marketing expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were RMB49.9 million in the first quarter of 2023,a decrease of 14.2% year-over-year. This comprised 7.7% of revenues,compared with 7.7% in the same period in 2022,and was largely attributable to ongoing personnel optimization and strict administrative expense control.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were RMB253.8 million,a decrease of 17.5% year-over-year,which accounted for 39.3% of revenues for the period,as compared with 40.6% in the first quarter of 2022. The adjusted operating expenses,which excludes share-based compensation,were RMB229.8 million,the lowest level compared with the four quarters of last year. The company will continue to adjust its cost base aim at returning to profitability in this year.

Operating Income/(Loss)

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2023 was RMB150.9 million,compared with operating loss of RMB155.4 million for the same period in 2022. The loss was mainly caused by lower revenue scale. The first quarter is typically the season with the lowest sales,which resulted in an inability to fully cover operating expenses. Adjusted operating loss,was RMB126.9 million.

Net Income/(Loss)

Net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the first quarter of 2023 was RMB136.7million,compared with RMB88.7 million of net loss in the first quarter of 2022. The adjusted net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation was RMB112.7 million,compared with RMB75.7 million for the same period of 2022. In 2022,the Company recognized RMB51.7 million gain from fair value change of long-term investment. The adjusted operation loss of the company has narrowed this year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31,2023,the Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of RMB1,001.5 million (US$145.8 million),compared with RMB973.3 million as of December 31,2022 and RMB1,052.9 million as of March 31,2022.

The Company continued to manage its working capital and inventory more efficiently and realized lower inventory levels at RMB799.9 million as of March 31,lower than that at the end of 2022.

Share Repurchase Program Update

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.
