Published

on

MILPITAS, Calif., Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Zepp Health Corporation (“Zepp” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ZEPP) today reported revenues of US$42.5 million; a basic and diluted net loss per share of US$0.05; and a basic and diluted net loss per ADS of US$0.82 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024; adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share of US$0.05; and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ADS of US$0.78. Each ADS represents sixteen Class A ordinary shares.

Mr. Wang ‘Wayne’ Huang, Chairman and CEO of Zepp, commented, “I’m pleased to report that this quarter our Amazfit branded sales had a 10% quarter-over-quarter increase, the highest sequential growth we’ve achieved this year, overcoming the supply constraints of our newly launched products. This positive momentum demonstrates that the most challenging phase of our transformation is now behind us, and we are optimistic that this growth will continue into the fourth quarter as our new outdoor product, the T-Rex3 smartwatch, has received better than expected market feedback worldwide. It combines military-grade durability, cutting-edge outdoor features, and unparalleled battery life, making it the perfect companion for those seeking adventure in their everyday lives and becoming one of the most competitive smartwatch products in the sports and outdoor categories.”

Wang added, “Furthermore, introducing the Amazfit UP OWS (Open Wearable Stereo) earbuds has expanded our product ecosystem and enhanced the user experience allowing them to hear background sounds clearly while using UP earbuds for outdoor activities to enhance their safety. Additionally, we have made significant advancements in our software capabilities, with the latest updates on Zepp OS and the redesign of our Zepp App interface to enhance functionality and user engagement which received positive feedback from media and users widely. 

These developments reaffirm our commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of our customers. We are particularly proud to be named as the official wearable partner and timekeeper of HYROX, the World Series of Fitness Racing, reaching over 300,000 participants per season across EU and US regions. On the marketing front, we are expanding the size of our Amazfit Athletes, this quarter we newly partnered with Spain Padel Athlete Bea Gonzalez, American Hyrox Hunter and Meg and others. These developments reaffirm our commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of our customers. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our strategic direction. With a strong pipeline of new products, continued investments in R&D and marketing, and an unwavering focus on operational excellence, we are well-positioned to drive sustainable growth and create long-term value for our shareholders.”

Mr. Leon Deng, Zepp’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “In the third quarter, our financial results continued to demonstrate the effectiveness of our refined operational strategies and rigorous cost management. We reported the highest sequential revenue growth in the year, overcoming the supply constraints of our newly launched T-Rex 3 and achieved the highest gross margin in our company’s history, reflecting our ongoing improvements in product mix and operational efficiencies. While we maintained a consistent approach in aligning our operating expenses with strategic objectives, during this quarter, we frontloaded certain marketing expenditures, helping to build brand awareness and promote our sales in the long run. As a result, we reported a net loss, largely driven by cost coverage issues and negative foreign currency results, but with the successful new product launches, we are confident in the recovery of our profitability growth momentum. Furthermore, our cash balance remained at a similar level compared to the previous quarter, partially attributed to our tight working capital management. This achievement not only demonstrates our capability to adapt swiftly to fluctuating market demands but also positions us to reduce operational risks and enhance financial flexibility. Last but not the least, we will continue executing our share repurchase program to demonstrate our confidence on the company’s long-term strategy.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenues

Revenues for the third quarter of 2024 reached US$42.5 million, a decrease by 48.9% from the third 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 supply was constrained by the production capacity for new product launches and macroeconomic weakness. However, compared with the second quarter of 2024, revenue of self-branded products increased by 9.9%, which is the highest quarter-over-quarter increase in 2024, the increase was primarily driven by the market reception of our recent launches, especially the newly introduced Amazfit T-Rex 3, and our core products such as Balance, Active, have seen continued popularity and growing demand.

Total units shipped in the third quarter of 2024 was 0.7 million, compared with 2.8 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the third quarter of 2024 was 40.6%, compared to 33.9% 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 less clearance sales, which typically have lower margins. This was the sixth consecutive quarter of gross margin expansion.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were US$10.9 million, an increase by 4.8% year-over-year. This accounted for 25.6% of revenues, compared to 12.5% for the same period in 2023. The increase was a result from our investment in new technologies, including AI, to maintain our competitive edge against our peers. At the same time, we focused on refined research and development approaches, as we consistently evaluated resource efficiency to ensure maximum return on investment and productivity.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were US$11.9 million, an increase by 21.9% year-over-year. This accounted for 28.0% of revenues, compared to 11.7% for the same period in 2023.

The increase was primarily due to the launch of various marketing campaigns for our products, as well as the expansion of our Amazfit Athletes team by partnering with renowned athletes to build brand recognition. 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 sustainable growth.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were US$7.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase by 5.4% year-over-year. This accounted for 16.5% of revenues, compared with 8.0% in the same period in 2023. The increase was largely attributable to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations loss was US$1.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared with fluctuations gain of US$0.7 in the same period of 2023. 

Operating Expenses 

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were US$29.8 million, an increase by 11.2% year-over-year. Adjusted operating expenses, which exclude share-based compensation, were US$29.1 million. The increase was primarily due to the launch of various marketing campaigns for our new products, as well as the expansion of our Amazfit Athletes team by partnering with renowned athletes to build brand recognition. We will maintain our cost-conscious approach in the upcoming quarters. 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 third quarter of 2024 was US$12.5 million, compared to operating income of US$1.4 million for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted operating loss for the third quarter of 2024 was US$11.9 million, compared to adjusted operating income of US$3.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. The loss was mainly due to lower sales volume, which resulted in an inability to fully cover operating expenses.

Net Income/(Loss)

Net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the third quarter of 2024 was US$13.3 million, compared to net income of US$0.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, which excludes share-based compensation expenses attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, was US$12.6 million, compared to adjusted net income of US$2.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. Net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the third quarter of 2024 included a foreign exchanges loss of US$1.0 million, compared to a gain of US1.2 million and US$1.1 million in the first and second quarter of 2024, respectively. Net loss and adjusted net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was US$38.9 million and US$35.0 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of US$127.7 million, which was in similar level compared with the second quarter of 2024, despite a loss position. This cash position provides a runway for the Company to invest and seize potential market opportunities.

The Company continued to manage its working capital and inventory efficiently and recorded inventory of US$76.6 million as of September 30, 2024 and maintained it with a relatively low level since June 30, 2019, representing an increase by 6.5% and a decrease by 29.0% compared with June 30, 2024 and September 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 September 30, 2024, the Company had a total of 234.0 million ordinary shares outstanding, representing the equivalent of 14.6 million ADSs assuming the conversion of all ordinary shares into ADSs.

The Company changed the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its Class A ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio”) from the previous ADS Ratio of one ADS representing four Class A ordinary shares to a new ADS Ratio of one ADS representing sixteen Class A ordinary shares. The change in the ADS Ratio took effect on September 16, 2024 (U.S. Eastern Time). All earnings per ADS figures in this announcement give effect to the foregoing ADS Ratio change.

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. On November 18, 2024, the board further authorized the Company to extend its share repurchase program for another 24 months. Pursuant to the extended share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its shares in the form of ADSs and/or ordinary shares through November 2026 with an aggregate value equal to the remaining balance under the share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had used US$14.5 million to repurchase approximately 1.7 million ADSs. The Company expects to fund the repurchases under the extended share repurchase program out of its existing cash balance.

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company’s management currently expects net revenues to be between US$55 million and US$70 million, representing 29% to 65% growth for revenue of self-branded products compared with third 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.

Global Times: Interdisciplinary technologies bring more cultural relics to life

Published

on

By

BEIJING, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a fully equipped laboratory in Beijing, a dragon-head architectural component from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) discovered at the Guzhou ruins in Xiong’an New Area, North China’s Hebei Province is prepped for a CT scan.

Thanks to the use of CT scans, 3D modeling, and other high-tech facilities in this laboratory, the restoration and research of the dragon head is progressing smoothly. The Key Laboratory of Archaeological Sciences and Cultural Heritage at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) is promoting the revitalization of more cultural relics with the help of technology, and has become a new example of cutting-edge technology used in archaeological work.

In recent years, China has intensified efforts to integrate technology into archaeology. Remote sensing satellites have been used to accurately document the shapes of excavation sites, 3D imaging can reconstruct collapsed underground spaces, and 3D digital modeling is now used to ­reverse-engineer and replicate decayed wooden boxes. Advances in deep-sea technology have expanded China’s underwater archaeology from depths of 50 meters to 2,000 meters.

These interdisciplinary collaborations are uncovering the limitless potential of archaeological science and continually enhancing China’s ability to protect cultural heritage.

“Technology and archaeology have always been areas of interdisciplinary integration and collaboration. Over the last century, the development of archaeology, from its traditional roots to the present, has been closely intertwined with technological advancements,” Chen Jiachang from the China Academy of Cultural Heritage told the Global Times.

“From the early integration of geology and archaeology to the modern-day application of advanced technologies, these innovations have increasingly aided archaeologists in analyzing remnants of ancient societies, reconstructing their structures, and understanding their social forms,” Chen said.

Technological power

The new laboratory consists of 13 sub-laboratories for archaeological sciences, five for cultural heritage conservation, and five joint archaeological laboratories. It integrates advanced technologies from disciplines including molecular biology, chemistry, geosciences and physics to facilitate interdisciplinary and inter-institutional research in archaeological science and heritage conservation.

Following laboratory analysis and preliminary cleaning of the dragon head’s eyes and nose, large areas of paint were found on the gray ceramic surface. The dragon’s pupils are black, while the eyeliner around them is green.

Liu Yong, head of the Key Laboratory of Archaeological Sciences and Cultural Heritage, recalled to the Global Times that “the top part of the dragon head is missing, and cracks can be seen in its nose and eyebrows, preventing any movement of the artifact.”

So further discovery of the dragon’s pupil and eyeliner colors can’t bear any more movement on the artifact.

One key reason has influenced the team’s decision to use curved-surface fluorescence technology to create a 3D model of the painted artifact. Fluorescence, with its penetrating properties, interacts with different elements to reveal colors hidden beneath layers of soil. “Normally, the green color shines from malachite, while the white ears are calcium carbonate, but we can only figure it out after the fluorescence test.”

“Because it couldn’t be moved, we used soil packing to stabilize it and employed CT scanning to examine whether the dragon head was solid or hollow,” Liu explained. “CT technology is primarily used on artifacts for pre-detection. It helps assess the preservation status and internal structure and provides information for protective cleaning.”

The development of portable CT technology has also transitioned such equipment from fixed to mobile, allowing for better balancing of artifact protection and research. “The goal is to maximize archaeological information while protecting the artifact,” Liu said.

Increasingly, not just field archaeologists but also physicists, geologists, and experts from various other fields are becoming involved in this emerging field of archaeological science.

Wider applications

From aerial and drone remote sensing to satellite remote sensing, these increasingly advanced technologies provide a broader distribution of data about archaeological sites, enabling more comprehensive hypotheses about historical scenarios.

“In the past, we used radar. Satellite remote sensing offers higher density points, forming more detailed surface information,” Chen said. “Now the application of technology helps archaeologists clarify ancient societal remains.”

Chen explained that technologies such as residue DNA analysis and isotope analysis, combined with archaeological interpretations of historical records and research, create a chain of factual evidence for the reconstruction of ancient societies. “It’s a collaboration across disciplines – unifying science and archaeology.”

However, even with advancements in technology and conservation, challenges remain. Natural weathering continues to pose problems for artifacts like the Yungang Grottoes and the Leshan Giant Buddha.

The conservation of stone grotto artifacts faces three main challenges: structural reinforcement, water infiltration prevention, and weathering resistance. While grouting and other techniques can address the first two problems through innovative approaches tailored to the artifact, combating weathering – considered a global challenge – requires breakthroughs in material research.

“Just as chip manufacturing needs new material development, creating advanced infiltration reinforcement materials is key to preserving grottoes,” Chen said.

There are more advanced technologies playing necessary roles in China’s significant archeological projects beyond the conservation of stone grottoes. For instance, in the conservation of Sanxingdui artifacts, the application of ivory analysis revealed similarities in structure and materials to those of stone grottoes. This fusion of technology and archaeology has allowed Sanxingdui artifacts to gain renewed life.

Ultimately, the goal of technology in archaeology is to reconstruct the framework of ancient societies, revealing the structures and dynamics of human life within their historical contexts. “Archaeology and technology complement each other, creating a synergistic effect,” Chen concluded.
