Sea Limited Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

Singapore, August 12, 2025 – Sea Limited (NYSE: SE) (“Sea” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“The momentum from our strong start to 2025 has continued into the second quarter. All three of our businesses have delivered robust, healthy growth, giving us greater confidence of delivering another great year,” said Forrest Li, Sea’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Given the high potential of our markets and the stage we are at in our business now, we will continue to prioritize growth, which will pave the way for us to maximize our long-term profitability. At the same time, our company has reached a stage where we can pursue growth opportunities while improving profitability.”

On e-commerce, he said, “After a record-high Q1, Shopee has delivered another record-breaking Q2. GMV grew 25% year-on-year in the first half, and we expect this growth momentum to carry into Q3.” On Brazil, he added, “This quarter, we celebrated Shopee’s 5-year anniversary in Brazil, and I am very proud of what the team has achieved: we have become the market leader by order volume, we continue to grow fast, and we are operating profitably. We remain committed to delivering strong, profitable growth while reinforcing our market leadership across Asia and Brazil.”

On digital financial services, Mr. Li said, “Monee has delivered excellent growth throughout the first half of the year, diversified its loan portfolio across markets and products, and maintained high asset quality through prudent risk management. It is exciting that our credit business is still in the early stages in many of our markets, reinforcing our strong conviction in Monee’s long-term growth and earnings potential.”

On digital entertainment, Mr. Li said, “Garena has delivered a very strong performance in the first half of this year. We believe Free Fire has established itself as an evergreen franchise, both sustaining its user engagement and growing its appeal in more markets globally. We are also committed to trying out new genres and new markets, and testing the boundaries of future game experiences by embracing AI. Given all of this, we are raising our full-year guidance for Garena, and expect bookings to grow more than 30% in 2025, year-on-year.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate our operating performance:

 

“Adjusted EBITDA” for our digital entertainment segment represents operating income (loss) plus (a) depreciation and amortization expenses, and (b) the net effect of changes in deferred revenue and its related cost for our digital entertainment segment. We believe that the segment adjusted EBITDA helps to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing their understanding of the past performance and future prospects.

 

“Adjusted EBITDA” for our e-commerce segment, digital financial services segment and other services segment represents operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expenses. We believe that the segment adjusted EBITDA helps to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing their understanding of the past performance and future prospects.

 

“Total adjusted EBITDA” represents the sum of adjusted EBITDA of all our segments combined, plus unallocated expenses. We believe that the total adjusted EBITDA helps to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing their understanding of the past performance and future prospects.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. None of the above financial measures should be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to revenue, net loss/income, or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures 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 Sea’s data. We compensate for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP financial measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to US$2,632 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily attributable to increase in loans receivable of our credit business of US$2,044 million, net placement of US$363 million in securities purchased under agreements to resell, time deposits and liquid investment products, for better cash yield management, and purchase of property and equipment of US$216 million to support the existing operations. Net cash generated from financing activities amounted to US$329 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily attributable to an increase in bank deposits of US$445 million as well as net proceeds from other funding sources related to credit business of US$118 million, offset by the cash used in repurchase of convertible notes of US$233 million.

UNAUDITED SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has three reportable segments, namely e-commerce, digital financial services and digital entertainment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), comprising our senior management team, evaluates each segment’s financial performance by reviewing revenue, significant operating expenses, and segment operating income or loss. To allocate resources for each segment, the CODM evaluates these results, along with certain key operating metrics of each segment. This assessment is done regularly by monitoring each segment’s actual financial and operating performance against projections as part of the Company’s business planning and budgeting process. Amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars (“$”).
