Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Revenue

Our total revenue increased by 153.2% from US$1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to US$4.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to increase in revenue from each of the businesses as follows:

Digital Entertainment: Revenue increased by 139.6% from US$753.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to US$1.8 billion for the six<br> months ended June 30, 2021. 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 180.7% from US$631.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to US$1.8 billion for<br> the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily driven by the growth in the scale of our e-commerce marketplace, and increase in each of its revenue streams, including transaction-based fees, value-added services, and<br> advertising, due to our continuous efforts of providing better support to our users with new features and programs.
--- ---
Sales of goods: Revenue increased by 120.0% from US$212.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to US$466.6 million for the six<br> months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the increase in our product offerings.
--- ---

Cost of Revenue

Our total cost of revenue increased by 107.5% from US$1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to US$2.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our total cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 74.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 61.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Digital Entertainment: Cost of revenue increased by 80.8% from US$299.2 million for the six months ended June 30,<br> 2020 to US$540.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was largely in line with the increase in our digital entertainment revenue. Improvement in gross profit margins was largely due to higher revenue contribution<br> from our self-developed game.
E-commerce and other services: Cost of revenue increased by 121.3% from US$673.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to US$1.5<br> billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher costs of the logistics and other value-added services that we provide to our users, and other costs incurred, in each case driven by the growth of<br> our e-commerce marketplace. Improvement in gross profit margins was mainly due to improvement in our marketplace take-rate and our cost efficiency as we continue to enhance our service offerings.
--- ---
Cost of goods sold: Cost of goods sold increased by 101.4% from US$216.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to US$435.7 million<br> for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was largely in line with the increase in our revenue from sales of goods.
--- ---

Gross Profit

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit was US$407.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and US$1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021. We had gross margins of 25.5% and 39.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively, and our digital entertainment business had gross margins of 60.3% and 70.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Other Operating Income

Our other operating income increased by 153.9% from US$57.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to US$147.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to the rebates from e-commerce related logistics services providers.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Our sales and marketing expenses increased by 130.4% from US$694.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to US$1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to the increased sales and marketing expenses across our businesses. The increase in the sales and marketing expenses of our digital entertainment business was primarily due to higher online marketing costs and esports event expenses as we continue to deepen the engagement with our gamers’ community.  The increase in the sales and marketing expenses of our e-commerce business was primarily attributable to the ramping up of marketing incentives and online marketing efforts, as we continue investing in capturing market opportunities in full. The increase in the sales and marketing expenses of our digital financial services business was primarily attributable to our efforts to promote adoption of our mobile wallet services.


General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 81.2% from US$271.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to US$491.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher staff compensation and benefit costs from increased staff to support the business growth, corporate donation of S$50 million (approximately US$37.9 million) to the National University of Singapore to support research and education in the field of computing, as well as office facilities and related expenses.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses increased by 124.2% from US$139.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to US$313.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the increase in research and development staff force.

Non-operating Income or Losses, Net

Non-operating income or losses primarily consist of interest income, interest expense, investment gain (loss) and foreign exchange gain (loss). We recorded a net non-operating income of US$18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a net non-operating loss of US$48.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The net non-operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to interest expenses on our convertible notes.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded income tax expense of US$51.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and US$126.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to corporate income tax and withholding tax expenses incurred by our digital entertainment segment.

Share of Results of Equity Investees

We recorded share of losses of equity investees of US$1.6 million and share of profits of equity investees of US$1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded net losses of US$674.3 million and US$855.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.


Segment Reporting

We have three reportable segments, namely, digital entertainment, e-commerce and digital financial services. The chief operating decision maker reviews the performance of each segment based on revenue and certain key operating metrics of the operations and uses these results for the purposes of allocating resources to and evaluating the financial performance of each segment.

(1) A combination of multiple business activities that does not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable segments are grouped together as “Other<br> Services”.
(2) Unallocated expenses are mainly related to share-based compensation and general and corporate administrative costs such as professional fees and other miscellaneous<br> items that are not allocated to segments. These expenses are excluded from segment results as they are not reviewed by the chief operating decision maker as part of segment performance.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US dollars (“$”) except for number of shares and per share data)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Sea Limited (the “Company”), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information using accounting policies that are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Company for each of the periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

VIE disclosures

There were no pledges or collateralization of the VIEs’ assets. Creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiaries of the VIEs, and such amounts have been parenthetically presented on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The VIEs hold certain assets, including land, data servers and related equipment for use in their operations. The VIEs do not own any facilities except for the rental of certain office premises, warehouses and data centers from third parties under operating lease arrangements. They also hold certain value-added technology licenses, registered copyrights, trademarks and registered domain names, including the official website, which are also considered as revenue-producing assets. However, none of such assets was recorded on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as such assets were all acquired or internally developed with insignificant cost and expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company also hires a sales and marketing as well as a research and development workforce for its daily operations and such costs are expensed when incurred. The Company has not provided any financial or other support that it was not previously contractually required to provide to the VIEs during the periods presented.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of consolidation
--- ---

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs for which the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, estimating the useful lives and impairment assessment of long-lived assets and goodwill, accounting for and impairment assessment of investments, impairment assessment of accounts receivable and loans receivables, accounting for deferred income taxes, accounting for share-based compensation arrangements and accounting for the Company’s financial instruments where the Company is the issuer. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Given the global economic climate and unforeseen effects from COVID-19 pandemic, the process of estimation has become more challenging. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US dollars (“$”) except for number of shares and per share data)


(c) Fair value of financial instruments

Available-for-sale investments are initially recognized at acquisition cost and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. Marketable equity securities, investments carried at fair value, certain other assets and share appreciation rights are measured at fair value with corresponding changes in the investments and liabilities’ fair values reflected in consolidated statements of operations. Convertible notes consist of 2023 Convertible Notes, 2024 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes as defined in Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements. For the 2023 Convertible Notes, 2024 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes, the liability component of the convertible notes was initially measured at fair value and subsequently amortized to its redemption amount using the effective interest rate method. The Company, with the assistance of an independent third party valuation firm, determined the estimated fair value of its convertible notes that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

(d) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to for those goods or services. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive reduced by discounts, incentives and rebates. Revenue also excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including sales taxes and indirect taxes.

The Company evaluates revenue from services and sales of goods to determine if it controls such services and goods to be the principal (i.e., report revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., report revenues on a net basis). The key indicators that the Company evaluates in determining gross versus net treatment include, but are not limited to, (i) which party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service; (ii) which party bears inventory risks before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer; and (iii) which party has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.

(e) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired entity as a result of the Company's acquisitions of interests in its subsidiary and consolidated VIEs. During the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Upon conclusion of the measurement period, any adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company evaluates whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, the Company applies a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a goodwill allocated to the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

No impairment of goodwill was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021.

(f) Leases

Leases are classified at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. As the lessee, a lease is a finance lease if any of the following conditions exists: a) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, b) there is a bargain purchase option, c) the lease term is at least 75% of the asset’s estimated remaining economic life, or d) the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term is 90% or more of the fair value of the leased asset to the lessor at the inception date.

Finance lease assets are included in property and equipment, net, and finance lease liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other payables, current and non-current.

18


SEA LIMITED

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US dollars (“$”) except for number of shares and per share data)


All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the periods of their respective leases. Operating leases (with an initial term of more than 12 months) are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities (current), and operating lease liabilities (non-current) in the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company utilizes a market-based approach to estimate the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments, reduced by lease incentives and accrued rent. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for data center leases only. In addition, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain lease agreements contain rent holidays and escalating rent are considered when determining the straight-line rent expense to be recorded over the lease term. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the lease property for purposes of recognizing lease incentives.

3. ACQUISITIONS

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company acquired three companies and its underlying subsidiaries for an aggregate consideration of $282,639. As a result, these companies were consolidated as subsidiaries of the Company from the date of acquisition. These acquisitions support the growth of the Company.

The allocation of the purchase price as of the date of acquisition is summarized as follows:

Net assets acquired

Share consideration^(1)^
Cash consideration
Goodwill

All values are in US Dollars.

(1) Measured based<br> on the fair value of the Company's ordinary shares on the date of acquisition.

The goodwill, which is not tax deductible, is mainly attributable to synergies expected to be achieved from the acquisition. The goodwill is allocated within the Digital Entertainment, Digital Financial Services and Other services segments.

The revenue and results since the acquisition date included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the period ended June 30, 2021 were insignificant. The Company’s revenue and results for the period would not be materially different should the acquisition has otherwise occurred on January 1, 2021.

The related transaction costs of the acquisition were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The conversion is subject to the anti-dilution and make-whole fundamental change adjustments. Upon conversion, the Company has the right, at its option, to pay or deliver, either cash, ADSs, or a combination of cash and ADSs to the Holders.

If certain events of default, changes in tax laws of the relevant taxing jurisdiction or fundamental change, optional redemption or clean up redemption as defined in the indenture were to occur, of which the optional redemption and clean up redemption only applies to the 2024 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes, the outstanding obligations under the respective convertible notes could be immediately due and payable (the “Contingent Redemption Options”).

The Company evaluated the Conversion Option and Contingent Redemption Options in accordance with ASC 815 to determine if these features require bifurcation. The Conversion Option was not required to be bifurcated because it was indexed to the Company’s ADSs and meets all additional conditions for equity classification. The Contingent Redemption Options were not required to be bifurcated because they were considered to be clearly and closely related to the debt host, as the convertible notes were not issued at a substantial discount and are redeemable at par.

The 2023 Convertible Notes, 2024 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes were accounted for under ASC 470-20 Cash Conversion Subsections as follow:

Capped call transactions

In connection with the offering of 2024 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into separately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (collectively, the “Capped Calls”). The details of the Capped Calls are as follows:

2024 Convertible<br><br> <br>Notes 2025 Convertible<br><br> <br>Notes
Initial strike price per share $ 50.13 $ 90.46
Initial cap price per share $ 70.36 $ 136.54

The Capped

    Calls are generally intended to reduce or offset the potential economic dilution to our Class A ordinary shares upon any conversion of the 2024 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes, respectively, with such reduction or offset, as the case
    may be, subject to a cap based on the cap price. As the Capped Calls are considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and are equity classified, they are recorded in shareholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivative. The costs of
  $97,060 and $135,700 incurred in connection with the Capped Calls of the 2024 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes, respectively, were recorded as reductions
  to additional paid-in capital. Capped Calls are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as they would be antidilutive under treasury stock method.

Conversion

    of convertible notes

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, a total principal amount of $715,388 convertible notes were converted by certain Holders. These conversions were satisfied through Class A ordinary shares or a combination of cash and Class A ordinary shares settlement.

Subsequent to June 30, 2021, certain Holders converted a total principal amount of $181,252 convertible notes. These conversions were satisfied through Class A ordinary shares settlement.

The conversion completed during the six months ended June 30, 2021 resulted in a net gain on debt extinguishment of $11,427 recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as “Interest expense”.

The denominator for diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021 does not include any effect from the Capped Calls (Note 6) because it would be anti-dilutive. In the event of conversion of any or all of the 2024 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes, the shares that would be delivered to the Company under the Capped Calls are designed to neutralize the dilutive effect of the shares that the Company would issue under the convertible notes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively, the Company issued 2,000,000 and 7,000,000 Class A ordinary shares to its share depositary bank which will be used to settle share incentive awards. No consideration was received by the Company for this issuance of Class A ordinary shares. These Class A ordinary shares are legally issued and outstanding but are treated as escrowed shares for accounting purposes and therefore, have been excluded from the computation of loss per share. Any Class A ordinary shares not used in the settlement of share incentive awards will be returned to the Company.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively, 2,807,447 and 6,257,679 issued

  Class A ordinary shares were used to settle the exercise of share incentive awards.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement.

ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company measures cash equivalents, restricted cash, available-for-sale investments, marketable equity securities investments, investments carried at fair value, certain other assets, derivative instruments and SARs at fair value. The liability component of the 2023 Convertible Notes, 2024 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes is measured at fair value on its issuance and extinguishment date. Cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

37


SEA LIMITED

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US dollars (“$”) except for number of shares and per share data)


Derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets, such as currency spot and forward rates.

As of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021, Level 3 assets and liabilities of the Company included investments in exchangeable and convertible loan, investments in sovereign bonds, investments carried at fair value and preference shares of investees and other assets.

Investments in debt securities - for short-term investment in debt securities, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to its short-term nature.

Other assets – the Company used Market approach to determine the fair value of certain assets by comparing to the sale and purchase transactions of comparable assets in the market, adjusted with differences such as size, physical condition, location and etc.

2023 Convertible Notes, 2024 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes – the Company used discounted cash flow method to determine the fair value of the liability component (non-recurring, Level 3). The discounted cash flow taking into the present

    value of expected future cash flows from coupon interest and redemption amount, discounted by the credit yield as at issuance date with reference to similar instruments that did not have associated convertible features.

Investments carried at fair value – the Company used a combination of valuation methodologies, including market and income approaches based on the Company’s best estimate, which is determined by using information including but not limited to the pricing of recent rounds of financing of the investees, future cash flow forecasts, liquidity factors and multiples of a selection of comparable companies.
