Sea Earnings: Achieving Both Profitability and GMV Growth Will Be Challenging; Keep $70 Fair Value

Kai Wang Senior Equity Analyst

Analyst Note

| Kai Wang |

We reiterate our fair value estimate of $70 after Sea reported first-quarter 2023 results that continued to show profitability, but were overshadowed by an implied year-on-year decline in gross merchandise value that puts its long-term growth trajectory into question, in line with our thesis. We believe that profitability was attained at the expense of GMV decline, and this raises doubts about whether Sea can achieve both growth and profitability at the same time. A greater monetization rate contributed to profitability, along with a 60% year-on-year decline in sales and marketing expenses. While we are encouraged by the improvement, cuts to expenses and increases in monetization may not be feasible in the long term if GMV continues to decline. Our valuation assumes Sea can reach steady-state profitability while maintaining modest growth, but we believe there may be challenges in balancing both in the near term. This is compounded by long-term headwinds for Garena—we could see downward risks to Sea estimates if Garena continues to lose quarterly paying users, or if GMV growth remains muted. Given multiple risks to its business, we believe Sea’s upside is limited until it can show durable and profitable growth.

Sea started as a gaming business, Garena, but in 2015 expanded into e-commerce, which is now the main growth driver. Shopee is a hybrid C2C and B2C marketplace platform operating in eight core markets. Indonesia accounts for 35% of GMV, with the rest split mainly among Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. For Garena, Free Fire was the most downloaded game in January 2022 and accounted for 74% of gaming revenue in 2021. Sea’s third business, SeaMoney, facilitates e-wallet payments on Shopee and offline and provides other digital financial services such as credit lending.
