Added Chief Financial Officer, Leon Deng, "Fourth quarter revenue was in-line with our guidance range, largely due to the return to Covid lockdowns in many areas of Europe over the year-end holidays, as well as some continuing inventory availability issues for new products. Product mix and volume impacted gross margin, but good expense discipline continued in the quarter, both in absolute amounts as well as operating expenses as a percentage of sales. Looking ahead, investments in personnel-related costs to accelerate growth of Amazfit and Zepp-branded products worldwide are creating a slightly higher fixed-cost base in our operating model, which we will try to offset as much as possible by further variable cost savings. Guidance for the first quarter 2021 reflects the seasonality of business, but our outlook for 2021 remains strong."
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Fourth Quarter 2020
Revenue
Total units shipped in the fourth quarter 2020 decreased
Fourth quarter revenues reached RMB1,972.5 million (US
Covid-19 Impact
As was true in the third quarter, in the fourth quarter 2020, the company experienced production delays that affected inventory availability for some new products. Also, many European countries re-instituted lockdowns, which we believe tempered holiday sales in some of the company's strongest markets. North American markets, which were less restricted, were stronger, but were affected somewhat by product availability.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
We use adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and such adjustment has no impact on income tax. Adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Zepp Health Corp. is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes share-based compensation expenses attributable to ordinary shareholders of Zepp Health Corp., and is used as the numerator in computation of adjusted net income per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of Zepp Health Corp.
We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net income and net income attributable to ordinary shareholders. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income, basic and diluted net income per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of Zepp Health Corp. or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, 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 our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
