In the second quarter, we saw accelerated growth in adoption of SeaMoney offerings. Our mobile wallet total payment volume for the quarter exceeded US$1.6 billion. Moreover, quarterly paying users for our mobile wallet services surpassed 15 million.
Integration of mobile wallet services with Shopee deepened further. In July, more than 45% of Shopee’s gross orders in Indonesia, our largest market for SeaMoney, were paid using our mobile wallet. We also continued to expand our suite of online and offline third-party use cases and partnerships.
Other Updates
As the coronavirus continues to disrupt communities and economic activities in our region, we have been part of many government-led efforts on national economic recovery from the pandemic. For instance, in Singapore in May, our Group Chief Operating Officer, Gang Ye, was appointed to the government-led Emerging Stronger Taskforce set up to guide the country’s economic growth beyond the pandemic. In the same month in Thailand, our Group Chief Economist, Santitarn Sathirathai, was appointed by the Prime Minister of Thailand to the Special National Committee for Re-Opening the Economy as the only member from the business sector. The committee advises the Prime Minister on post-pandemic recovery for the country.
Moreover, our Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer, Forrest Li, has been serving on the board of directors of the Economic Development Board of the Government of Singapore since February this year.
During this challenging time for our communities, we will continue to focus on serving them well with our offerings, as well as contributing to local communities’ efforts in navigating the challenges and getting back on the road of recovery.

Exchanges and Conversions of 2023 Convertible Notes
As previously announced, in May 2020, concurrently with our offering of 2.375% convertible senior notes due 2025, we entered into separate privately negotiated agreements with certain holders of our 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 notes”) to exchange approximately US$150.0 million principal amount of our outstanding 2023 notes for a combination of cash and approximately 6.9 million American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) (each representing one Class A ordinary share).
In June 2020, we entered into additional separate privately negotiated agreements with certain holders of our 2023 notes to exchange approximately US$144.4 million additional principal amount of our outstanding 2023 notes for approximately 7.3 million ADSs.
In addition, in July 2020, holders of approximately US$107.8 million principal amount of our 2023 notes elected to convert their notes. We issued approximately 5.4 million ADSs to settle such conversion.
In aggregate, such exchanges and conversions are estimated to result in more than US$21 million of saving to us (after netting off the premium we paid for the exchanges) in future interest payments.
As of July 31, 2020, we had 487,738,066 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, comprising 335,562,363 Class A ordinary shares and 152,175,703 Class B ordinary shares, and approximately US$172.8 million principal amount of the 2023 notes remaining outstanding.
Upcoming Changes to Adjusted Revenue Reporting
We have been reporting adjusted revenue of each business segment as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure to help our investors evaluate our operating performance. Going forward, beginning with our earnings release for the third quarter of 2020, we will discontinue the use of adjusted revenue.
For our digital entertainment segment, in place of adjusted revenue, we will begin disclosing the operating metric “bookings,” which will similarly represent our digital entertainment segment revenue plus change in our digital entertainment deferred revenue. This operating metric is used as an approximation of cash spent by our users in the applicable period that is attributable to our digital entertainment segment. We intend to continue to separately disclose the change in our digital entertainment deferred revenue to reconcile to our GAAP digital entertainment revenue.
For our e-commerce, digital financial services and other services segments, we will discontinue reporting adjusted revenue and any related measures and not provide a corresponding metric. Accordingly, this quarter will be the last quarter in which we report total adjusted revenue of our company.
Other than as described above, this reporting change will not affect our presentation of operating and financial results or any underlying business performance.

Our total revenue increased by 102.2% to US$882.0 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$436.2 million in the second quarter of 2019. Our total adjusted revenue increased by 93.4% to US$1,287.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$665.4 million in the second quarter of 2019. These increases were mainly driven by the growth in each of the segments detailed as follows:
- Digital Entertainment: Revenue increased by 67.3% to US$383.9 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$229.5 million in the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted revenue increased by 61.6% to US$716.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$443.2 million in the second quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily due to the increase in our active user base as well as the deepened paying user penetration, and in particular, the continued success of our self-developed game Free Fire.
- E-commerce and other services: Revenue increased by 120.1% to US$364.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$165.7 million in the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted revenue increased by 141.4% to US$437.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$181.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily driven by the growth of our e-commerce marketplace, and positive developments in each of our marketplace revenue streams – transaction-based fees, value-added services, and advertising. It is a result of our commitment to continuously enhance our service offerings as we seek to create greater value for our platform users.
- Sales of goods: Revenue and adjusted revenue increased by 225.8% to US$133.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$40.9 million in the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to the increase in our product offerings.
Cost of Revenue
Our total cost of revenue increased by 101.1% to US$681.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$338.7 million in the second quarter of 2019.
- Digital Entertainment: Cost of revenue increased by 64.9% to US$156.5 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$95.0 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase was largely in line with revenue growth in our digital entertainment business. Improvement in gross profit margins was largely due to higher revenue contribution from our self-developed game.
- E-commerce and other services: Cost of revenue for our e-commerce and other services segment combined increased by 95.7% to US$388.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$198.4 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher costs of logistics, including expenses for warehousing associated with value-added fulfilment services we provided to sellers, and other costs incurred in line with growth of our e-commerce marketplace, including, among other costs, higher bank transaction fees driven by GMV growth, as well as higher staff compensation and benefit costs.
- Cost of goods sold: Cost of goods sold increased by 200.9% to US$136.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$45.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase was largely in line with the increase in our product offerings.
Other Operating Income
Our other operating income increased by 1,238.1% to US$32.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$2.4 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase in our other operating income was mainly due to the rebates from e-commerce related logistic services provided by third parties.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Our total sales and marketing expenses increased by 95.1% to US$386.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$198.1 million in the second quarter of 2019. The table below sets forth the breakdown of the sales and marketing expenses of our two major reporting segments. Amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars (“$”).

- Digital Entertainment: Sales and marketing expenses increased by 64.0% to US$31.5 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$19.2 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher online marketing and influencer costs.
- E-commerce: Sales and marketing expenses increased by 64.0% to US$268.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$163.7 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase in marketing efforts was aligned with our strategy to fully capture the market growth opportunity and was primarily attributable to the ramping up of brand marketing and other marketing incentives as well as higher staff compensation and benefit costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses increased by 42.7% to US$144.5 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$101.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily due to higher staff compensation and benefit costs.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses increased by 114.9% to US$75.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 from US$35.1 million in the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to the increase in research and development staff force.
Non-operating Income or Losses, Net
Non-operating income or losses consist of interest income, interest expense, investment gain (loss), fair value change for the 2017 convertible notes and foreign exchange gain (loss). We recorded a net non-operating income of US$7.6 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to a net non-operating loss of US$29.2 million in the second quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily due to a gain from the sale of a controlling equity stake and remeasurement of our remaining stake in an operating entity in our other services segment, partially offset by higher interest expense. As a result of the partial disposition, which occurred in May 2020, the entity, which historically contributed a large portion of our other services segment’s revenue, is no longer consolidated following such disposal. Our net-operating loss in the second quarter of 2019 was primarily due to a fair value loss of US$31.8 million arising from the fair value accounting treatment for the 2017 convertible notes.
Income Tax Expense
We had a net income tax expense of US$27.8 million and US$15.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The income tax expense in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily due to withholding tax and corporate income tax expenses incurred by our digital entertainment segment.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, we had net losses of US$393.5 million and US$280.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Net Loss Excluding Share-based Compensation and Changes in Fair Value of the 2017 Convertible Notes
Net loss excluding share-based compensation and changes in fair value of the 2017 convertible notes, was US$317.7 million and US$215.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share Based on Net Loss Excluding Share-based Compensation and Changes in Fair Value of the 2017 Convertible Notes Attributable to Sea Limited’s Ordinary Shareholders
Basic and diluted loss per share based on net loss excluding share-based compensation and changes in fair value of the 2017 convertible notes, was US$0.68 and US$0.48 in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Sea may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases, and other written materials, and in oral statements made by its officers, directors, or employees to third parties. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: Sea’s goals and strategies; its future business development, financial condition, financial results, and results of operations; the growth in, and market size of, the digital entertainment, e-commerce and digital financial services industries in the markets where it operates, including segments within those industries; changes in its revenue, costs or expenditures; its ability to continue to source, develop and offer new and attractive online games and to offer other engaging digital entertainment content; the growth of its digital entertainment, e-commerce and digital financial services businesses and platforms; the growth in its user base, level of user engagement, and monetization; its ability to continue to develop new technologies and/or upgrade its existing technologies; growth and trends of its markets and competition in its industries; government policies and regulations relating to its industries; general economic and business conditions in its markets; and the impact of widespread health developments, including the recent global coronavirus pandemic, and the responses thereto (such as voluntary and in some cases, mandatory quarantines as well as shut downs and other restrictions on travel and commercial, social and other activities) which could materially and adversely affect, among other things, the business and manufacturing activities of its sellers, merchants and logistics providers, the global supply chain including those of its sellers’ and merchants’, and consumer discretionary spending. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Sea’s filings with the SEC. All information provided in this press release and in the attachments is as of the date of this press release, and Sea undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.
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 revenue” of our digital entertainment segment represents revenue of the digital entertainment segment plus change in digital entertainment deferred revenue. This financial measure is used as an approximation of cash spent by our users in the applicable period that is attributable to our digital entertainment segment. Although other companies may present such measures related to gross billings differently or not at all, we believe that the adjusted revenue of our digital entertainment segment provides supplemental information to investors about the segment’s core operating results, enhancing their understanding of our past performance and future prospects.
- “Adjusted revenue” of our e-commerce segment represents revenue of the e-commerce segment (currently consisting of adjusted marketplace revenue and adjusted product revenue) plus certain revenues that were net-off against their corresponding sales incentives. This financial measure provides supplemental information on our e-commerce monetization.
- “Adjusted revenue” of our digital financial services segment represents revenue of the digital financial services segment plus certain revenues that were net-off against their corresponding sales incentives.
- “Adjusted revenue” of our other services segment represents revenue of the other services segment plus certain revenues that were net-off against their corresponding sales incentives.
- “Total adjusted revenue” represents the sum of adjusted revenue of all our segments combined. This financial measure enables our investors to follow trends in our overall group monetization capability over time and is a useful performance measure.
- “Net loss excluding share-based compensation and changes in fair value of the 2017 convertible notes” represents net loss before share-based compensation and changes in fair value of convertible notes. This financial measure helps to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in net loss. The use of this measure has its limitations in that it does not include all items that impact the net loss or income for the period, and share-based compensation and changes in fair value of convertible notes are significant expenses.
- “Net loss excluding share-based compensation and changes in fair value of the 2017 convertible notes attributable to Sea Limited’s ordinary shareholders” represents net loss attributable to Sea Limited’s ordinary shareholders before share-based compensation and changes in fair value of convertible notes. This financial measure helps to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in net loss. The use of this measure has its limitations in that it does not include all items that impact the net loss or income for the period, and share-based compensation and changes in fair value of convertible notes are significant expenses.
- “Basic and diluted loss per share based on net loss excluding share-based compensation and changes in fair value of the 2017 convertible notes attributable to Sea Limited’s ordinary shareholders” represents net loss excluding share-based compensation and changes in fair value of the 2017 convertible notes attributable to Sea Limited’s ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
- “Adjusted EBITDA” for our digital entertainment segment represents operating income (loss) before share-based compensation 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. Although other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently or not present it at all, 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) before share-based compensation plus (a) depreciation and amortization expenses, and (b) intersegment sales incentives. Although other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently or not present it at all, 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. Although other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently or not present it at all, 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.
The tables below present selected financial information of our reporting segments, the non-GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to GAAP financial measures, and the related reconciliations between the financial measures. Amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars (“$”) except for number of shares & per share data.

Our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflect a reallocation of certain items that were reported in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to net cash used in investing and financing activities for that period. If such reallocation had been applied to our first quarter 2020 cash flows which were disclosed in our first quarter 2020 earnings release and in the financial statements for three months ended March 31, 2020 included as an exhibit to our Report on Form 6-K furnished with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2020, net cash used in operating activities would have changed from US$(223.7) million to US$(63.4) million, net cash used in investing activities would have changed from US$(147.1) million to US$(238.1) million, and net cash used in financing activities would have changed from US$(24.8) million to US$(94.1) million. The reallocation has no impact on, and does not change, total cash flows or cash and cash equivalents for the same period. The reallocation is mainly related to loans and certain deposits in our businesses, and we believe such reallocation better reflects the nature of our business activities. The cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 have consistently applied the same allocation.
UNAUDITED SEGMENT INFORMATION
