Zepp Health Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2024 Unaudited Financial Results

Published

on

MILPITAS, Calif., Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Zepp Health Corporation (“Zepp” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ZEPP) today reported revenues of US$40.6 million; a basic and diluted net loss per share of US$0.04; and a basic and diluted net loss per ADS of US$0.17 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024; adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share of US$0.04; and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ADS of US$0.15. Each ADS represents four Class A ordinary shares.

Starting from the second quarter of 2024, the Company changed its reporting currency from Renminbi (“RMB”) to U.S.dollar (“US$”), to reduce the impact of increased volatility of the RMB to US$ exchange rate on the Company’s reported operating results. Since self-branded products sales of the Company is more heavily exposed to U.S. dollar or quasi-U.S. dollar denominated markets, changing the reporting currency to US$ will more accurately reflect the Company’s performance and underlying nature of its operations. Prior period numbers have been recast into the new reporting currency accordingly.

Mr. Wang ‘Wayne’ Huang, Chairman and CEO of Zepp, commented, “Our second quarter performance aligned with our guidance, highlighted by a sequential increase in self-branded product sales and the achievement of a historically high gross margin. Despite a year-over-year decline in revenue, we are confident that the most challenging phase of our transformation has now been successfully navigated.”

Wang added, “We recently launched Zepp OS 4, a major leap in wearable tech by integrating OpenAI’s GPT-4, making Amazfit smartwatches more effective wellness companions. As we gear up for IFA in Berlin, we’re excited to unveil the T-Rex 3 outdoor smartwatch with our custom-designed chips and new Open Wearable Stereo (OWS) earbuds. This integration of smartwatches, rings, and OWS headphones has created a seamless user experience loop, giving us a competitive edge and positioning us for growth. Additionally, our R&D team has made significant AI breakthroughs, and we plan to release new AI hardware within six months, marking a new chapter in wearable technology. These efforts are part of our broader strategy to increase global visibility of our brand and products. By aligning with prominent athletes and sports events, we continue to build a strong, recognizable brand identity and create meaningful connections with consumers worldwide. Through these brand and market investments, we have solidified our presence in major populous countries such as China, India, and Brazil. Additionally, we achieved a breakthrough in Germany, deepened our partnership with Decathlon in France, and steadily improved our global gross margin. We believe our growth momentum will continue into the second half of the year.”

Mr. Leon Deng, Zepp’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “In the second quarter, our self-branded product sales increased by 6% sequentially, while gross margin reached 40%, continuing the quarter-over-quarter expansion that began in the third quarter of 2023. This marks the highest gross margin in the Company’s history. This improvement was largely driven by the higher gross margin of self-branded products, thanks to a greater proportion of new products and a more selective approach to inventory clearance. We expect this positive gross margin trend to persist into the second half of the year. It is important to reiterate our strategy of prioritizing profitability and leveraging self-branded revenue to sustain the overall performance of the Company. Our net loss for the first half of 2024 narrowed year-over-year despite a decrease in sales. With the new product launches planned for the second half of 2024, we are confident in a recovery of profitability growth momentum. In addition, our cash balance remained steady at approximately USD129 million, with inventory levels reaching their lowest point since the first quarter of 2023. We will continue executing our share repurchase program to demonstrate our confidence in Zepp’s corporate strategy.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenues

Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 reached US$40.6 million, a decrease by 56.0% from the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the sales of Xiaomi wearable products, as well as the decrease in sales of self-branded products, as the launch of new self-branded products is more heavily weighted towards the second half of 2024. However, compared with the first quarter of 2024, revenue increased by 1.7%, primarily driven by the increase of self-branded products sales, which more than offset the decline in the sales of Xiaomi wearable products. 

Total units shipped in the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 65.8% year-over-year to 1.3 million, compared with 3.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the second quarter of 2024 was 40.3%, compared to 22.0% in the same period of 2023. We reached another record-high quarterly gross margin since the third quarter of 2023, supported by the strong performance of our self-branded products and a more favourable product mix, with a higher proportion of new products and a reduction in clearance sales, which typically have lower margins.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were US$10.8 million, a decrease by 15.3% year-over-year. This accounted for 26.6% of revenues, compared to 13.8% for the same period in 2023. The decrease in research and development expenses was as a result of our refined research and development approaches, as we consistently evaluated resource efficiency to ensure maximum return on investment and productivity. We are committed to investing in new technologies, including AI, to maintain our competitive edge against our peers.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were US$10.6 million, a slight increase by 3.3% year-over-year. This accounted for 26.0% of revenues, compared to 11.0% for the same period in 2023.

The increase was primarily as a result of the investment in marketing campaigns during the summer sports season to boost our brand awareness. At the same time, we consistently pushed on retail profitability and channel mix improvement, which included meticulous refinement of our retail channels and strategic staffing arrangements across sales regions. We are committed to investing efficiently in marketing and branding to ensure our sustained growth.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were US$4.9 million in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease by 37.2% year-over-year. This accounted for 11.9% of revenues, compared with 8.3% in the same period in 2023. The decrease in absolute value was largely attributable to our personnel optimization initiative and strict administrative expense control.

Operating Expenses 

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were US$26.2 million, a decrease by 14.6% year-over-year. Adjusted operating expenses, which exclude share-based compensation, were US$25.3 million. We will maintain our cost-conscious approach in the upcoming quarters. We expect our operating expenses to either remain at current levels or decrease further. Concurrently, we remain committed to investing in R&D and marketing activities to ensure our long-term competitiveness.

Operating Income/(Loss)

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2024 was US$9.9 million, compared to US$10.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted operating loss for the second quarter of 2024 was US$9.0 million, compared to US$8.8 million for the second quarter of 2023. Operating loss was narrowed largely due to the improved gross margin of our self-branded products and reduced operating expenses.

Net Income/(Loss)

Net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the second quarter of 2024 was US$10.8 million, compared to US$10.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, which excludes share-based compensation expenses attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, was US$9.9 million, compared to US$8.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. Net loss and adjusted net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the first half of 2024 was US$25.6 million and US$22.4 million, both of which represent an improvement as compared to US$30.0 million and US$24.9 million in the first half of 2023, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of US$128.7 million, which was in similar level compared with the first quarter of 2024, despite a loss position. This cash position provides run way for the company to invest and seize potential market opportunities.

The Company continued to manage its working capital and inventory efficiently and recorded inventory levels of US$71.9 million as of June 30, 2024. This reached another lowest level since June 30, 2019, marking a decrease by 1.3% and 29.8% compared with March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. We will continue to manage working capital tightly. Also, we anticipate further reductions in our debt level in the upcoming quarters.

Shares Outstanding

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a total of 236.5 million common shares outstanding, representing the equivalent of 59.1 million ADSs assuming the conversion of all common shares into ADSs.

Share Repurchase Program Update

The Company announced in its third quarter 2021 earnings release that the board had authorized a share repurchase program of up to US$20 million through November 2022. On November 21, 2022, the board authorized a 12-month extension of the Company’s share repurchase program. On November 20, 2023, the board further authorized the Company to extend its share repurchase program for another 12 months. Pursuant to the extended share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its shares in the form of American depositary shares and/or ordinary shares through November 2024 with an aggregate value equal to the remaining balance under the share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had used US$14.1 million to repurchase 6,223,578 ADSs. The Company expects to fund the repurchases under the extended share repurchase program out of its existing cash balance.

Outlook

For the third quarter of 2024, the Company’s management currently expects net revenues to be between US$45 million and US$60 million, it represents 18% to 59% growth for revenue of self-branded products compared with second quarter of 2024.

This outlook is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary estimates of market, 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 operating expenses represent operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted operating income/(loss) represents operating income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted EBIT represents net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses, income tax (benefit)/expense, interest income and interest expense. 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), adjusted EBIT 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), adjusted EBIT 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), adjusted EBIT 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), adjusted EBIT 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.

Over three days, industry representatives, media professionals, and numerous AI technology enthusiasts gathered to witness the event’s grandeur.

Industry giants including NVIDIA, Intel, Alibaba Cloud, and Tesla were in attendance. Markor distinguished itself as the sole home furnishing company represented at the summit, presenting its cutting-edge “AI Smart Home” system, which introduced a new era of AI-driven home consumption experiences, attracting significant attention.

Live at the Scene: Markor’s AI Smart Home Takes a Giant Leap Forward

From its transition to new retail in recent years to its embrace of AI, the home furnishing industry’s exploration and implementation of AI have drawn immense attention. It has been recognized as a long-term strategy that will influence the future of urban living and people’s quality of life.
In 2023, dubbed the first year of AI in China, Markor led the industry by launching its AI-powered home application, “AI Smart Home.” This program integrates cutting-edge AI model technology with a curated selection of best-selling products, offering features such as a home knowledge encyclopedia, lifestyle analysis and recommendations, design style suggestions, furniture recommendations, and one-click product replacements, providing users with 24/7 intelligent home design and easy home setup solutions.

The AI Smart Home system revolutionizes traditional home setup processes, enabling users to enjoy services conveniently via mobile devices. At the summit, Markor provided live demonstrations of the AI Smart Home system, with an interactive area for hands-on experiences. The system’s ease of use, wide range of style options, instant results, one-click sharing, and seamless purchasing capabilities ushered in a new era, allowing attendees to transition from imagining AI-powered home setups to instantly experiencing full-room services. The audience was left impressed and full of praise.

It represents a groundbreaking leap in the home industry, emerging as a leading tool that reshapes service ecosystems.

Open, Shared, and Collaborative AI Business Achievements Define AI’s Sustainable Future

Markor’s global strategy and presence ensure that the brand remains open and internationally competitive.

Since the beta launch of AI Smart Home by Markor Furnishings, a home furnishing brand under Markor, it has recorded over 50,000 page visits in a short time, with tens of thousands of users generating sales orders worth tens of millions of yuan. This achievement has boosted confidence in the traditional industry’s digital transformation.

With over 20 years of accumulated lifestyle experience, we aim to extend the reach of quality living experiences through AI interaction and expansion. The true sustainable future of AI lies in achieving shared success among users, brands, and technology platforms.”

It is evident that Markor is not simply focused on app development; it is committed to a long-term strategy that builds AI-driven lifestyles and reshapes business models. By creating personalized shopping experiences and innovating marketing models that cater to new consumer demands, Markor’s AI-based tools like “AI Xiaomei” and “AI Smart Home” serve as personalized recommendation and virtual design solutions.

Markor is committed to leveraging technological convenience, unlocking potential, and sharing technological benefits.

Backed by its national-level Industrial Design Center, robust R&D systems, and global operational capabilities, Markor continues to invigorate the ecosystem through digitalization, intelligence, and supply chain integration. With AI Smart Home as the bridge, Markor is reigniting public interest and confidence in AI’s potential and advancing the commercialization of AI technologies like natural language processing.

In September, it signed a strategic partnership with the AI technology leader Shengshu Technology to break new ground in product design, manufacturing, marketing content innovation, and service experience. This collaboration will fuel the company’s efforts toward smart, personalized home furnishing upgrades, setting new benchmarks in the industry. These initiatives underscore Markor’s determination to use AI to enhance its future competitiveness.

Democratizing design empowers everyone to shape their dreams and take control of their future. Markor’s ongoing AI strategy not only provides opportunities for those pursuing a better life but also highlights new possibilities in the ever-evolving home living landscape.
