Insights

Tuya's Q2 2024 results show significant progress towards profitability and growth. Key highlights include:

  • Revenue up 28.6% YoY to $73.3 million, driven by 32% growth in IoT PaaS revenue
  • First-ever positive non-GAAP operating margin of 10%, improving from -11.2% last year
  • Non-GAAP net profit of $20.8 million, up 1,276.5% YoY
  • Strong cash position of $1 billion

The results reflect improved efficiency, cost control and market recovery. The special dividend of $0.0589 per share signals confidence. However, challenges remain including economic uncertainties and geopolitical risks. Overall, this represents a positive turning point for Tuya's financials and outlook.

Tuya's Q2 performance demonstrates resilience in the IoT sector. The 32% growth in IoT PaaS revenue and 127% dollar-based net expansion rate indicate strong demand and customer retention. The increase in premium IoT PaaS customers to 280, contributing 84.8% of IoT PaaS revenue, shows successful execution of their key-account strategy. The 20.1% growth in registered developers to over 1.19 million suggests an expanding ecosystem. Tuya's focus on AI integration and smart solutions positions them well in the evolving tech landscape. However, the slight decrease in total customers warrants monitoring. The company's transition to profitability while maintaining innovation is important for long-term success in the competitive IoT market.

Tuya's Q2 results reflect broader market trends in the IoT and smart technology sectors. The 44.2% YoY growth in smart solution revenue indicates rising demand for integrated intelligent devices. This aligns with the global smart home market's expansion. The improved financial performance, especially the transition to non-GAAP profitability, could boost investor confidence in IoT platform companies. The 127% DBNER suggests strong upselling and cross-selling capabilities. However, the slight decline in total customers from 3,300 to 3,000 YoY might indicate market consolidation or shifts in the competitive landscape. The declaration of a special dividend may be viewed positively by income-focused investors. Overall, Tuya's results suggest a maturing IoT market with opportunities for well-positioned players.

  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, "The second quarter of 2024 marks a significant milestone for our company, as we attained a quarterly non- GAAP operating profit for the first time in our history with an operating margin of about 10%. This achievement demonstrates the effectiveness of our business model and highlights the operational leverage within our business, as well as our commitment to delivering on our promises. As the world's leading cloud platform service provider, we are entering a new phase in the smart technology sector. This progress is fueled by a more favorable competitive environment, GenAI technology advancements, renewed momentum in the smart consumer electronics and smart business markets, and, more importantly, Tuya's unwavering commitment to strategic decisions and execution focused on customers, product innovation, and operations. Looking ahead, we remain focused on driving long-term revenue growth and achieving solid profit margins, while continuing to deliver the best smart technology solutions to our global customers and partners."

Ms. Yao (Jessie) Liu, Director and Chief Financial Officer of Tuya, added, "Our strong financial performance in the second quarter was underscored by a 29% year-over-year increase in total revenue, reaching $73.3 million. Our IoT PaaS revenue grew by 32% year-over-year, fueled by a resurgence in industry demand and our ability to attract new customers while strengthening partnerships with existing ones. Meanwhile, our smart solutions revenue saw a 44.2% year-over- year increase, reflecting the strong market demand and the value proposition of our offerings. Crucially, our strong revenue growth, enhanced efficiency, stable gross margins, and excellent control over expenses and costs led to Tuya's first-ever non-GAAP operational profitability in this quarter. Looking ahead, we are confident that Tuya's strong financial and operational foundation will continue to drive sustainable growth and profit margin improvements."

REVENUE

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2024 increased by 28.6% to US$73.3 million from US$57.0 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the increase in IoT PaaS revenue and smart solution revenue.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP financial 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 financial measures by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, credit-related impairment of long-term investments and litigation costs from the respective GAAP financial 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 financial 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, credit-related impairment of long-term investments and litigation costs have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP 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 measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP 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.
