Fourth Quarter 2023 Operating Highlights

IoT PaaS customers1 for the fourth quarter of 2023 were approximately 2,200 (4Q2022: approximately 2,400). Total customers for the fourth quarter of 2023 were approximately 3,200 (4Q2022: approximately 3,400). The Company’s implementation of key-account strategy has enabled it to be more focused on serving strategic customers.

Premium IoT PaaS customers2 for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2023 were 265 (4Q2022: 263). In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company’s premium IoT PaaS customers contributed approximately 82.7% of its IoT PaaS revenue (4Q2022: approximately 77.0%).

Dollar-based net expansion rate (“DBNER”)3 of IoT PaaS for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2023 was 103% (4Q2022: 51%).

Registered IoT device and software developers were approximately 993,000 as of December 31, 2023, up 40.3% from approximately 708,000 developers as of December 31, 2022.

1. The Company defines an IoT PaaS customer for a given period as a customer who has directly placed orders for IoT PaaS with the Company during that period.

2. The Company defines a premium IoT PaaS customer as a customer as of a given date that contributed more than US$100,000 of IoT PaaS revenue during the immediately preceding 12-month period.

3. The Company calculates DBNER of IoT PaaS for a trailing 12-month period by first identifying all customers in the prior 12-month period (i.e., those have placed at least one order for IoT PaaS during that period), and then calculating the quotient from dividing the IoT PaaS revenue generated from such customers in the current trailing 12-month period by the IoT PaaS revenue generated from the same Company of customers in the prior 12-month period. The Company’s DBNER may change from period to period, due to a combination of various factors, including changes in the customers’ purchase cycles and amounts and the Company’s customer mix, among other things. DBNER indicates the Company’s ability to expand customer use of the Tuya platform over time and generate revenue growth from existing customers.

Mr. Xueji (Jerry) Wang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tuya, commented, “In the fourth quarter of 2023, we continued to execute our proven development strategies of focusing on key account customers and enhancing our product capabilities to boost our value proposition, while also essentially completing our organization adjustment. These combined efforts enabled us to conclude the year with strong sequential growth momentum. Notably, we achieved a 42.2% year-over-year revenue increase, reaching approximately $64.4 million in the quarter, alongside a record-high blended gross margin of 47.3%. These results reflect the substantial value of our platform, products, and services offer to our customers, affirming our confidence in Tuya’s resilience and its capability to navigate industry cycles with improved operational leverage and financial performance.”

Ms. Yao (Jessie) Liu, Director and Chief Financial Officer of Tuya, added, “The fourth quarter marked our transition from recovery to growth, efficiency enhancements, and margin expansion. During the quarter, all three business sectors recorded robust revenue growth, and their margins either improved or remained steady, a testament to the effectiveness of our product focus and enrichment strategy. Our strategic commitment to cost management and operational efficiency, coupled with the steady growth of gross profits, resulted in continued record-high non-GAAP net profits and positive net operating cashflow. As we advance into 2024, we are confident that Tuya’s solid financial position and momentum will sustain our business expansion and product profitability.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Unaudited Financial Results

REVENUE

Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 42.2% to US$64.4 million from US$45.3 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the increase in IoT PaaS revenue, SaaS and others revenue and smart device distribution revenue.

IoT PaaS revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 44.6% to US$47.2 million from US$32.6 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the relief of downstream inventory backlog and a global economic improvement compared with the same period of 2022, along with the effective customer-focus and product-enhancement strategies the Company adopted to navigate through the macroeconomic headwinds. Correspondingly, the Company’s DBNER of IoT PaaS for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2023 increased to 103% from 51% for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

SaaS and others revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 19.3% to US$9.5 million from US$7.9 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to an increase in revenue from cloud software products. The Company remained committed to offering value-added services and a diverse range of software products with compelling value propositions to its customers.

Smart device distribution revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 64.6% to US$7.8 million from US$4.7 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to an increase in revenue from smart device solutions and the variations in the timing and volume of customer demands and purchases.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 35.3% to US$33.9 million from US$25.1 million in the same period of 2022, generally in line with the increase in the Company’s total revenue.

GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS MARGIN

Total gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 50.9% to US$30.5 million from US$20.2 million in the same period of 2022 and gross margin increased to 47.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023 from 44.6% in the same period of 2022.

IoT PaaS gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 44.8%, compared to 41.5% in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the changes in product mix, enhancement in product value, and the decrease in provision recorded for certain slow-moving IoT chips and raw materials compared to the fourth quarter of last year.

SaaS and others gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 74.2%, which remained relatively stable, compared to 75.2% in the same period of 2022.

Smart device distribution gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 29.7%, compared to 14.6% in the same period of 2022, primarily due to higher-value product solutions we provided to our customers during the fourth quarter of 2023.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses increased by 2.0% to US$54.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from US$53.0 million in the same period of 2022.

Non-GAAP operating expenses, defined as operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses and credit loss of long-term investments, decreased by 13.5% to US$30.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from US$35.5 million in the same period of 2022. Share-based compensation expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$15.9 million, compared to US$17.5 million in the same period of 2022. Credit loss of long-term investments was US$7.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to nil in the same period of 2022.

Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$22.8 million, down 17.9% from US$27.8 million in the same period of 2022, primarily because of the strategic streamlining of the Company’s research and development team and operations. During this quarter, average salaried employee headcount of the Company’s research and development team was down approximately 21.9% year over year, compared to the same quarter in last year. Non-GAAP adjusted research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$19.4 million, compared to US$23.8 million in the same period of 2022.

Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$10.9 million, down 2.4% from US$11.2 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the strategic streamlining of the Company’s sales and marketing team, partially offset by increased spending in marketing events as the revenue returned to a year-over-year growth trajectory since the third quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$9.5 million, compared to US$9.6 million in the same period of 2022.

General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$23.8 million, up 46.8% compared to US$16.2 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the credit loss of US$7.4 million of long-term investments. Non-GAAP adjusted general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$5.3 million, compared to US$4.3 million in the same period of 2022.

Other operating income, net in the fourth quarter of 2023 was US$3.4 million, primarily due to the receipt of software value-added tax refunds and various general subsidies for enterprises.

LOSS FROM OPERATIONS AND OPERATING MARGIN

Loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2023 narrowed by 28.0% to US$23.6 million from US$32.8 million in the same period of 2022. Non-GAAP loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2023 narrowed by 98.3% to US$0.3 million from US$15.3 million in the same period of 2022.

Operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was negative 36.7%, improved by 35.8 percentage points from negative 72.5% in the same period of 2022. Non-GAAP operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was negative 0.4%, improved by 33.4 percentage points from negative 33.8% in the same period of 2022.

NET LOSS/PROFIT AND NET MARGIN

Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2023 narrowed by 52.4% to US$10.8 million from US$22.7 million in the same period of 2022. The difference between loss from operations and net loss in the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily because of a US$13.1 million interest income achieved mainly due to well implemented treasury strategies on the Company’s cash and bank time deposits recorded as short-term and long-term investments.

The Company had a non-GAAP net profit of US$12.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of US$5.2 million in the same period of 2022, demonstrating the Company’s ability to sustain profitability on a non-GAAP basis.

Net margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was negative 16.8%, improving by 33.4 percentage points from negative 50.2% in the same period of 2022. Non-GAAP net margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 19.5%, improving by 31.0 percentage points from negative 11.5% in the same period of 2022.

BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS/PROFIT PER ADS

Basic and diluted net loss per ADS was US$0.02 in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to US$0.04 in the same period of 2022. Each ADS represents one Class A ordinary share.

Non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per ADS was US$0.02 in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss of US$0.01 in the same period of 2022.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, TIME DEPOSITS AND U.S. TREASURY SECURITIES RECORDED AS SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and U.S. treasury securities recorded as short-term and long-term investments were US$984.3 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to US$952.0 million as of December 31, 2022, which the Company believes is sufficient to meet its current liquidity and working capital needs.

NET CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash generated from operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2023 was US$31.8 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities US$0.1 million in the same period of 2022. The net cash generated from operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2023 improved mainly due to the increase in the Company’s revenue, and the decrease in operating expenses, particularly employee-related costs, and working capital changes in the ordinary course of business.

For further information on non-GAAP financial measures presented above, see the section headed “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Business Outlook

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we continued to observe a moderately declining yet persisting overall inflation, which is expected to continually influence the discretionary consumer electronics spending. On the supply chain front, we expect downstream inventory levels to be normalizing ongoingly, providing downstream smart device manufacturers, brands, and retail channels with greater flexibility and resilience to adapt their operational and procurement plans as necessary. This, in turn, will revitalize their investment in smart business. Overall, discretionary consumer electronic spending alongside enterprise procurement are expected to prioritize cost-effectiveness, reflecting a balanced approach widely adopted in the current economic climate.

In response to this evolving market environment, the Company will remain committed to continuously iterating and improving its products and services, further enhancing software and hardware capabilities, expanding key customer base, investing in innovations and new opportunities, diversifying revenue streams, and further optimizing operating efficiency. At the same time, the Company understands that future trajectories may encounter challenges, including shifting consumer spending patterns, regional economic disparities, inventory management, foreign exchange rate volatility, and broader geopolitical uncertainties.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations (including non-GAAP operating margin), non-GAAP net (loss)/profit (including non-GAAP net margin), and non-GAAP basic and diluted net (loss)/profit per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company defines non-GAAP measures by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and credit-related impairment of long-term investments from the respective GAAP measures. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitates investors’ assessment of its operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of expenses that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation expenses and credit-related impairment of long-term investments have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliations of Tuya’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release.

LONDON, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Judopay, the UK’s go-to mobile payments provider, is now making waves across the Atlantic. Backed by its powerful partner network, Judopay is bringing its seamless in-app and online services to the complex payment landscape of North America.

This year alone, digital payments in North America are set to hit a staggering $3.3 trillion. Judopay’s expansion is set to enable its existing and prospective client base to tap into massive revenue opportunities and make a splash in a brand-new market.

Judopay’s connections will now make it even easier for merchants to go state-side. North America, once seen as lagging behind its European counterparts when it came to adopting digital payments, is catching up fast. The Payments and Commerce Market Intelligence (PCMI) forecasted that by 2026, digital wallets will reach a 41% share of the ecommerce market (versus 39% in cards) with Apple Pay and Google Pay spearheading that growth. And now, Judopay’s mobile-first approach is stepping in to keep things moving smoothly.

As part of its North American launch, Judopay is also actively partnering with software platforms across the retail, hospitality, and mobility industry, allowing them to add innovative payment technology to their core offering.

About Judopay:

Judopay is the UK’s leading mobile payments provider. Born out of the frustration with friction-filled checkouts, we built a flexible solution designed to securely drive sales and improve the customer experience. Now wholly owned by Fabrick S.p.A., part of the Banca Sella Group, Judopay is continually building ways to enhance the overall payment experience for merchants and customers alike.
