Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported financial results by Tuya Inc. indicate a robust year-over-year revenue growth of 42.2%, with substantial increases in both IoT PaaS and SaaS revenues. The improvement in gross margins, particularly a 3.3 percentage point increase in IoT PaaS gross margin, suggests enhanced profitability and operational efficiency. The shift from a net cash used in operating activities to generating $31.8 million is a positive signal for liquidity and operational cash flow health. However, a negative operating margin, despite significant improvement, still reflects ongoing operational challenges.

Investors should note the company's strategic focus on key accounts and premium IoT PaaS customers, which contributed a significant portion of revenue. This focus on high-value customers is a common strategy for B2B companies to stabilize revenue streams. The substantial increase in dollar-based net expansion rate (DBNER) for IoT PaaS, from 51% to 103%, is indicative of successful upselling and cross-selling efforts, leading to increased customer spend over time.

Despite the positive revenue and margin trends, the company's operating expenses increased slightly, which could be a concern if the trend continues. The net loss has narrowed significantly, which is encouraging, but the company still needs to reach a consistent net profitability. The significant cash and cash equivalents position provides a buffer for strategic investments and weathering economic cycles.

Market Research Analyst

Tuya's report highlights a strategic emphasis on cost management and operational efficiency, which are critical in the current economic environment characterized by inflation and cautious consumer spending. The company's ability to grow its premium IoT PaaS customer base and maintain a high DBNER suggests a strong product-market fit and customer loyalty, which are important indicators of long-term business health in the IoT and cloud services industry.

The IoT market is increasingly competitive and Tuya's focus on enhancing product capabilities and value proposition is essential for maintaining its market position. The increase in gross profit and the stabilization of SaaS and others gross margin reflect the company's ability to deliver high-value solutions and manage costs effectively. However, the slight decrease in total customer numbers could be a point of concern and warrants monitoring to see if it is a temporary fluctuation or indicative of a larger trend.

From a market perspective, Tuya's financial performance and operational highlights suggest resilience and the potential for sustained growth. Investors and market observers should consider the company's strategic adjustments and their potential to drive long-term value in the evolving IoT and cloud services landscape.

Technology Industry Analyst

The Internet of Things (IoT) industry is rapidly evolving and Tuya's performance must be contextualized within this dynamic sector. The increase in registered IoT device and software developers by 40.3% year over year reflects a growing ecosystem and the potential for increased innovation and customer engagement. Tuya's focus on IoT PaaS and SaaS offerings aligns with the industry's shift towards service-based models that provide recurring revenue and scalability.

IoT PaaS and SaaS solutions are critical for enabling smart device connectivity and cloud-based data management, which are cornerstones of modern IoT applications. Tuya's increase in revenue from these segments indicates solid demand for its platform, which is crucial in an industry that relies on long-term customer relationships and network effects.

The company's emphasis on premium IoT PaaS customers and the high percentage of revenue derived from this group underscore the strategic importance of targeting high-value clients in the tech industry. The ability to maintain high gross margins in this competitive landscape is an indication of Tuya's effective cost control and value-added services.

Overall, Tuya's financial results and operational highlights demonstrate the company's strategic positioning and adaptation to industry trends, which are essential for maintaining competitiveness in the IoT sector.

1. The Company defines an IoT PaaS customer for a given period as a customer who has directly placed orders for IoT PaaS with the Company during that period.

2. The Company defines a premium IoT PaaS customer as a customer as of a given date that contributed more than US$100,000 of IoT PaaS revenue during the immediately preceding 12-month period.

3. The Company calculates DBNER of IoT PaaS for a trailing 12-month period by first identifying all customers in the prior 12-month period (i.e., those have placed at least one order for IoT PaaS during that period), and then calculating the quotient from dividing the IoT PaaS revenue generated from such customers in the current trailing 12-month period by the IoT PaaS revenue generated from the same Company of customers in the prior 12-month period. The Company's DBNER may change from period to period, due to a combination of various factors, including changes in the customers' purchase cycles and amounts and the Company's customer mix, among other things. DBNER indicates the Company's ability to expand customer use of the Tuya platform over time and generate revenue growth from existing customers.

Mr. Xueji (Jerry) Wang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tuya, commented, "In the fourth quarter of 2023, we continued to execute our proven development strategies of focusing on key account customers and enhancing our product capabilities to boost our value proposition, while also essentially completing our organization adjustment. These combined efforts enabled us to conclude the year with strong sequential growth momentum. Notably, we achieved a 42.2% year-over-year revenue increase, reaching approximately $64.4 million in the quarter, alongside a record-high blended gross margin of 47.3%. These results reflect the substantial value of our platform, products, and services offer to our customers, affirming our confidence in Tuya's resilience and its capability to navigate industry cycles with improved operational leverage and financial performance."

Ms. Yao (Jessie) Liu, Director and Chief Financial Officer of Tuya, added, "The fourth quarter marked our transition from recovery to growth, efficiency enhancements, and margin expansion. During the quarter, all three business sectors recorded robust revenue growth, and their margins either improved or remained steady, a testament to the effectiveness of our product focus and enrichment strategy. Our strategic commitment to cost management and operational efficiency, coupled with the steady growth of gross profits, resulted in continued record-high non-GAAP net profits and positive net operating cashflow. As we advance into 2024, we are confident that Tuya's solid financial position and momentum will sustain our business expansion and product profitability."

Fourth Quarter 2023 Unaudited Financial Results

REVENUE

Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 42.2% to US$64.4 million from US$45.3 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the increase in IoT PaaS revenue, SaaS and others revenue and smart device distribution revenue.

• IoT PaaS revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 44.6% to US$47.2 million from US$32.6 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the relief of downstream inventory backlog and a global economic improvement compared with the same period of 2022, along with the effective customer-focus and product-enhancement strategies the Company adopted to navigate through the macroeconomic headwinds. Correspondingly, the Company's DBNER of IoT PaaS for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2023 increased to 103% from 51% for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2022.
  
  
• SaaS and others revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 19.3% to US$9.5 million from US$7.9 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to an increase in revenue from cloud software products. The Company remained committed to offering value-added services and a diverse range of software products with compelling value propositions to its customers.
  
  
• Smart device distribution revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 64.6% to US$7.8 million from US$4.7 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to an increase in revenue from smart device solutions and the variations in the timing and volume of customer demands and purchases.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 35.3% to US$33.9 million from US$25.1 million in the same period of 2022, generally in line with the increase in the Company's total revenue.

GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS MARGIN

Total gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 50.9% to US$30.5 million from US$20.2 million in the same period of 2022 and gross margin increased to 47.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023 from 44.6% in the same period of 2022.

• IoT PaaS gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 44.8%, compared to 41.5% in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the changes in product mix, enhancement in product value, and the decrease in provision recorded for certain slow-moving IoT chips and raw materials compared to the fourth quarter of last year.
  
  
• SaaS and others gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 74.2%, which remained relatively stable, compared to 75.2% in the same period of 2022.
  
  
• Smart device distribution gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 29.7%, compared to 14.6% in the same period of 2022, primarily due to higher-value product solutions we provided to our customers during the fourth quarter of 2023.

• Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$10.9 million, down 2.4% from US$11.2 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the strategic streamlining of the Company's sales and marketing team, partially offset by increased spending in marketing events as the revenue returned to a year-over-year growth trajectory since the third quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$9.5 million, compared to US$9.6 million in the same period of 2022.
  
  
• General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$23.8 million, up 46.8% compared to US$16.2 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the credit loss of US$7.4 million of long-term investments.

The Company had a non-GAAP net profit of US$12.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of US$5.2 million in the same period of 2022, demonstrating the Company's ability to sustain profitability on a non-GAAP basis.

For further information on non-GAAP financial measures presented above, see the section headed "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Business Outlook

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we continued to observe a moderately declining yet persisting overall inflation, which is expected to continually influence the discretionary consumer electronics spending. On the supply chain front, we expect downstream inventory levels to be normalizing ongoingly, providing downstream smart device manufacturers, brands, and retail channels with greater flexibility and resilience to adapt their operational and procurement plans as necessary. This, in turn, will revitalize their investment in smart business. Overall, discretionary consumer electronic spending alongside enterprise procurement are expected to prioritize cost-effectiveness, reflecting a balanced approach widely adopted in the current economic climate.

In response to this evolving market environment, the Company will remain committed to continuously iterating and improving its products and services, further enhancing software and hardware capabilities, expanding key customer base, investing in innovations and new opportunities, diversifying revenue streams, and further optimizing operating efficiency. At the same time, the Company understands that future trajectories may encounter challenges, including shifting consumer spending patterns, regional economic disparities, inventory management, foreign exchange rate volatility, and broader geopolitical uncertainties.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations (including non-GAAP operating margin), non-GAAP net (loss)/profit (including non-GAAP net margin), and non-GAAP basic and diluted net (loss)/profit per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company defines non-GAAP measures by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and credit-related impairment of long-term investments from the respective GAAP measures. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of expenses that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation expenses and credit-related impairment of long-term investments have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliations of Tuya's non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release.
