Insights

UCLOUDLINK's Q3 2024 results show mixed performance with $25.2M in revenue, up 5.6% YoY, while maintaining stable profitability with net income of $3.4M. Key growth drivers include international data connectivity services and PaaS/SaaS revenues, up 29.1%. The geographic revenue mix shows strong presence in Japan (46.6%) and increasing contribution from mainland China (27.8%).

The company's gross margin declined to 48.4% from 51.2% YoY, primarily due to lower product margins. However, service margins improved to 60%. With $27.7M in cash and positive operating cash flow, the financial position remains solid. The Q4 guidance of $25-30M revenue indicates continued growth momentum.

The company's strategic expansion into IoT and innovative solutions like "ALL SIM" marks a significant technological pivot. The soft cloud SIM technology compatibility with various chipset platforms and commercial testing in security cameras and dashboard cameras demonstrates market validation. Coverage expansion to 75 countries for 5G services and partnerships with major airport retail channels in North America show promising market penetration.

The platform metrics reveal slight declines in total data consumption (-3.5%) and daily active terminals (-1.4%), but the extensive network of 389 MNOs and growing patent portfolio (183 patents) suggests strong technological foundations for future growth.

Executive Commentary

Mr. Chaohui Chen, Director and Chief Executive Officer of UCLOUDLINK, said, “Revenues were in-line with our expectations during the third quarter of 2024, increasing 5.6% year-over-year to US$25.2 million as we drive growth momentum. Our financial position remains solid, with a net income reaching US$3.4 million and a positive net cash inflow from operations of US$2.0 million. Our 1.0 international data connectivity services business continued to grow, with full-speed 5G network coverage increasing to 75 countries and regions, fueled by the recovery of international travel and increasing demand across key markets. We further consolidated our leading position in the roaming market and expanded our market share in mainland China and Japan.”

“Following the introduction of our GlocalMe Life products series at Viva Technology in May and their commercial launch in July 2024, we further enhanced our market exposure by attending other leading global expos such as Travel Meet Asia, Pet & Vet Expo, and IFA Berlin 2024. Additionally, we made breakthroughs in developing retail channels, signing with one of North America’s largest airport retail channels to make UniCord, RoamPlug, and KeyTracker, among other products, available at airports across the U.S. We will develop strategic partnerships with other key channel partners across the U.S. and Europe in the coming quarters. In terms of GlocalMe SIM, we continued to expand the market presence of over-the-air (OTA) SIM as more users resubscribed to our data plan service, paving the way for our innovative “ALL SIM” solutions. Our innovative “ALL SIM” solution is under commercial testing and is expected to commercially launch in the near future. In terms of GlocalMe IoT, we are leveraging our soft cloud SIM technology, which is compatible with various chipset platforms, to engage with several leading manufacturers in the security camera, dashboard camera, and related sectors. Some products with our embedded technology are already in small-scale commercial application, demonstrating the strength and capabilities of our solutions to a broader audience in the Internet of Things (IoT) industry.”

“Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage GlocalMe Life, GlocalMe SIM, GlocalMe IoT and their integrated innovative core HyperConn and cloud SIM solutions, to expand our global presence and cooperate with additional business partners and channels. This will allow us to scale up and diversify our end user base in the future. This transition will diversify our revenue streams from primarily mobile data traffic solutions to a mix of value-added services and mobile data traffic solutions, and will drive the ongoing consolidation and development of our GlocalMe ecosystem, positioning UCLOUDLINK as a leading global mobile data traffic sharing marketplace while creating long-term sustainable value for our shareholders.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenues

Total Revenues were US$25.2 million, representing an increase of 5.6% from US$23.9 million in the same period of 2023.

  • Revenues from services were US$17.3 million, representing an increase of 3.9% from US$16.6 million in the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in revenues from data connectivity services and from PaaS and SaaS services.
    • Revenues from data connectivity services were US$14.0 million, representing an increase of 1.9% from US$13.8 million in the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in revenues from international data connectivity services to US$11.5 million in the third quarter of 2024 from US$11.4 million in the same period of 2023, as the recovery of international travel accelerated, and (ii) an increase in revenues from local data connectivity services to US$2.5 million in the third quarter of 2024 from US$2.4 million in the same period of 2023, as the Company continued to develop the local data connectivity services business.
    • Revenues from PaaS and SaaS services were US$3.0 million, representing an increase of 29.1% from US$2.3 million in the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to business partners increasingly utilizing PaaS and SaaS services to enhance operational efficiency.
  • Revenues from sales of products were US$7.9 million, representing an increase of 9.3% from US$7.3 million in the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase of US$2.4 million in sales of data related products, which was partially offset by the decrease of US$1.7 million in sales of terminals.

  • Research and development expenses were US$1.4 million, representing a decrease of 10.3% from US$1.6 million in the same period of 2023, primarily attributable to a decrease of US$0.3 million in staff costs, which was partially offset by an increase of US$0.2 million in professional service fees.
  • Sales and marketing expenses were US$5.4 million, representing an increase of 41.5% from US$3.8 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to an increase of US$1.2 million in promotional fees and an increase of US$0.2 million in staff costs.
  • General and administrative expenses were US$3.2 million, representing a decrease of 16.2% from US$3.8 million in the same period of 2023, primarily attributable to decreases of US$0.7 million in staff costs and US$0.2 million in share-based compensation expenses, which was partially offset by an increase of US$0.2 million in professional service fees.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of US$27.7 million, compared to US$26.8 million as of June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to the net inflow of US$2.0 million from operations and net proceeds of US$1.1 million from bank borrowings, which were partially offset by a repayment of US$1.8 million for bank borrowings and a cash outflow of US$1.1 million for procurement of property and equipment.

Capital Expenditures (“CAPEX”)

CAPEX was US$1.1 million, compared to US$0.8 million in the same period of 2023.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2024, UCLOUDLINK expects total revenues to be between US$25.0 million and US$30.0 million, representing an increase of 15.2% to 38.2% compared to the same period of 2023.

The above outlook is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company’s preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company’s operating performance. The presentation of these 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 U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net income/(loss) is defined as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investments and share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investments, share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax, interest expense, income tax expenses and depreciation and amortization.

The Company believes that adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in income/(loss) from operations and net income/(loss). The Company believes that adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non- GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investments and share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax, have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income/(loss). 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 compensate for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth at the end of this release.
