Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported financials by Zepp Health Corporation indicate a mixed performance, with a significant decline in revenue and units shipped, particularly of Xiaomi wearable products, which may raise concerns among investors about the company's market position and future growth prospects. The increase in gross margin and the company's strategic focus on profitability over scale could be seen as a positive shift towards sustainable growth, but it's essential to consider whether this strategy could limit market share expansion in the competitive wearable technology sector. The company's cost management and operating efficiencies, as evidenced by reduced operating expenses and inventory levels, reflect a disciplined approach to cash flow management. However, the net losses reported, both GAAP and non-GAAP, suggest that despite these efforts, the company is still facing challenges in achieving bottom-line profitability. The stock repurchase program continuation signals confidence by the management in the company's valuation, which could be a positive sign for investors. The outlook for Q1 2024 shows a conservative revenue projection, which might be a reflection of ongoing market challenges or strategic shifts in the business model. Overall, the financial results and management's strategic decisions should be closely monitored by investors for indications of long-term financial health and market competitiveness.

Market Research Analyst

Zepp Health Corporation's reported decrease in revenue and units shipped, particularly in Xiaomi wearable products, suggests a significant shift in the company's market dynamics. The strategic pivot towards profitability over scale, while beneficial for improving margins, could impact the company's ability to compete in the rapidly growing wearable technology market, where scale often correlates with market penetration and consumer mindshare. The introduction of new products like the Amazfit Active series and the Amazfit Helio Ring, along with software innovations such as Zepp OS version 3.5, demonstrate the company's commitment to innovation and user experience enhancement. These developments could potentially improve brand perception and customer loyalty, which are critical in a market driven by technological advancements and brand differentiation. However, the success of these new products in contributing to revenue growth remains to be seen. The company's focus on operating cost management and inventory efficiency is commendable, but it's important to balance cost-cutting measures with investments in R&D and marketing to sustain long-term growth and market relevance. The cautious revenue outlook for Q1 2024 could be indicative of conservative growth expectations or an uncertain market environment, which investors should consider when assessing the company's future performance.

Economist

Zepp Health Corporation's financial report reflects broader economic trends, such as foreign exchange fluctuations and the strategic challenges of balancing profitability with market expansion. The company's substantial decrease in revenue and units shipped, while improving gross margins, indicates a strategic reorientation that may be responsive to current economic uncertainties and competitive pressures. The focus on profitability over scale can be seen as a defensive strategy in an uncertain macroeconomic environment, where consumer spending may be more volatile and cost control becomes paramount. The company's ability to maintain a strong cash position and reduce debt levels is a positive indicator of financial stability, which is particularly important in periods of economic uncertainty. The record low inventory levels and continued share repurchases could be interpreted as a sign of prudent capital management, yet it's essential to ensure that these measures do not undermine the company's capacity for innovation and market responsiveness. The conservative revenue outlook for the upcoming quarter may reflect cautious optimism or strategic recalibration in response to market conditions, which could be influenced by factors such as global economic slowdown, trade tensions and shifts in consumer preferences. Investors should consider the potential impact of these macroeconomic factors on the company's performance and the wearable technology industry as a whole.

MILPITAS, Calif., March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Zepp Health Corporation ("Zepp" or the "Company") (NYSE: ZEPP) today reported revenues of US$84.5 million (RMB0.6 billion); a basic and diluted net loss per share of US$0.005 (RMB0.03); and a basic and diluted net loss per ADS of US$0.02 (RMB0.14) for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023; adjusted basic and diluted net income per share of US$0.002 (RMB0.01); and adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS of US$0.01 (RMB0.06). Each ADS represents four Class A ordinary shares.

Mr. Wang 'Wayne' Huang, Chairman and CEO of Zepp, commented, "In the fourth quarter, we continued to make substantial progress in our strategic transformation, a journey characterized by both achievements and challenges. Our approach to balancing profitability with scale has yielded promising results, achieving a second consecutive quarter of profitability and reaching an all-time high in gross margin. These accomplishments demonstrated the strength of our product capability, along with the success of our branding and go-to-market strategy. As we conclude 2023, these accomplishments not only underscore our resilience and adaptability but also set a solid foundation for sustained growth and innovation in the years ahead."

Wayne continued, "This quarter was also pivotal for us as we expanded and enhanced our product portfolio with significant launches that have notably elevated our market presence. Introducing the Amazfit Active and Amazfit Active Edge series represents a leap forward in our mission to blend sophisticated design with cutting-edge technology. The subsequent launch of our first smart ring, the Amazfit Helio Ring, at CES further underlines our dedication to providing advanced and accessible solutions that enhance well-being. These developments epitomize our commitment to delivering cutting-edge smart wearable healthcare solutions that go beyond meeting basic needs – they aim to inspire and bring joy to our users. Our efforts extend past hardware to include continuous advancements in the software, highlighted by the recent launch of Zepp OS version 3.5. This update integrates Zepp Flow™, a Natural-Language User Interface (LUI) powered by LLM AI, with our operating system, offering seamless natural language communication to provide users with exactly what they want. From setting an alarm, deactivating the 'always on' display feature to providing feedback on last night's sleep quality and analyzing the readiness score from the previous day's activities, and offering recommendations for improvement in the following day, all can be done by interacting with the watch using human natural language and without the need to memorize any predefined commands. These updates are pivotal in enhancing user interaction and underline our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in wearable technology."

Mr. Leon Deng, Zepp's Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our financial performance in the fourth quarter closely aligned with our guidance, with sales revenue coming in at the lower end of our expectations. This was influenced by several external factors, including our strategic focus on profitability over scale and foreign exchange fluctuation. Despite these challenges, we achieved another record high gross margin, supported by the strong performance of our self-branded products and a favourable product mix. Meticulously managing our operating costs, we have maintained our disciplined approach to spending while continuing to invest in R&D and marketing to sustain our long-term competitiveness. In the fourth quarter, the Company recorded US$3.5 million valuation allowance of deferred tax asset, which is non-cash in nature and does not materially affect our operations. Although GAAP net loss was US$1.2 million with the Non-GAAP net profit of US$0.5 million, the adjusted EBIT for the fourth quarter of 2023 was US$4.0 million, while it was a loss of around US$7.4 million in the same period of 2022.

We have managed our working capital efficiently, achieving a record low inventory level and further reducing our debt levels. Our cash balance remains at US$140.5 million, and we will continue to buy back stock under our share repurchase plan. As we reflect on the full year of 2023 and look ahead to 2024, these achievements highlight our commitment to operational excellence and strategic foresight while seizing future opportunities and driving further innovation in the wearable technology sector."

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenues

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 reached US$84.5 million (RMB0.6 billion), a decrease by 44.0% from the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the sales of Xiaomi wearable products.

Total units shipped in the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased by 53.3% year-over-year to 2.1 million, compared with 4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the units of Xiaomi wearable products shipped.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 34.7%, compared to 20.7% in the same period of 2022. We reached another record-high quarterly gross margin since the third quarter of 2023, supported by the strong performance of our self-branded products and a more favourable product mix.

Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$11.3 million (RMB80.0 million), a decrease by 30.0% year-over-year. This accounted for 13.3% of revenues, compared to 10.7% for the same period in 2022. The decrease was as a result of our refined research and development approaches, as we consistently evaluated resource efficiency to ensure maximum return on investment and productivity. We are committed to investing in new technologies and AI to maintain our competitive edge against our peers.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$12.2 million (RMB86.5 million), a decrease by 30.9% year-over-year. This accounted for 14.4% of revenues, compared to 11.7% for the same period in 2022.

This included detailed enhancements to our retail channels and strategic staff allocations across our sales territories. We are dedicated to making informed investments in marketing and branding to guarantee our continued development.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were US$5.1 million (RMB36.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease by 31.6% year-over-year.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was US$0.8 million (RMB5.3 million), compared with operating loss of RMB71.0 million for the same period in 2022.

Full Year 2023

Revenues

Total revenues of 2023 reached US$351.5 million (RMB2.5 billion), a decrease of 39.8% from the full year of 2022. The decrease in total revenues mainly resulted from a 62.0% decline in the sales of Xiaomi wearable products. In 2023, self-branded products accounted for 74.2% of our total revenues, compared with 59.0% in 2022. Sales of our self-brand product decreased by 24.3% as compared with 2022. This was mainly caused by our strategic shift of focusing on profitability over scale.

Total units shipped in the full year of 2023 decreased by 40.4% year-over-year to 12.1 million, compared with 20.3 million in the full year of 2022. This was mainly caused by a 43.6% decrease in the shipment of Xiaomi wearable products.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the full year 2023 was 26.4%, 7.0 percentage points higher than 19.4% in the full year of 2022. The full year's higher margin was due to the improved gross margin of our self-branded products and largely driven by a better product mix especially on our new products introductions, partially offset by the decrease in the gross margin of Xiaomi branded products.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the full year 2023 were US$51.0 million (RMB361.8 million), a decrease of 30.0% year-over-year. The decrease was as a result of our refined research and development approaches, as we consistently evaluated resource efficiency to ensure maximum return on investment and productivity.

Selling and Development

Selling and marketing expenses for the full year 2023 were US$44.3 million (RMB314.6 million), a decrease of 31.7% year-over-year. This accounted for 12.6% of revenues, compared with 11.1% for the same period in 2022.

The reduction in amount was mainly due to our ongoing efforts to enhance retail profitability and optimize our mix of sales channels. This included detailed enhancements to our retail channels and strategic staff allocations across our sales territories. We are dedicated to making informed investments in marketing and branding to guarantee our continued development.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were US$26.6 million (RMB188.5 million) in the full year 2023, a decrease of 20.1% year-over-year. The decrease was largely attributable to strict administrative expense control.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the full year 2023 were US$121.8 million (RMB864.9 million), a decrease of 28.7% year-over-year. Adjusted operating expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses, were US$113.4 million (RMB805.2 million).  We plan to continue our focus on cost efficiency in the upcoming year. At the same time, we are dedicated to invest in R&D and marketing efforts, which are essential for maintaining our competitive edge over the long term.

Net Income/(Loss)

Net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the full year of 2023 was US$29.9 million (RMB212.1 million), compared with RMB288.3 million in net loss in 2022. The adjusted net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, which excludes share-based compensation expenses attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, was US$21.5 million (RMB152.4 million), compared with the adjusted net loss of RMB239.2 million for the same period of 2022. The narrowed net loss was largely due to the higher gross margin from our self-branded products and reduced operating expenses. The adjusted EBIT for the full year of 2023 was loss of US$20.1 million (RMB142.9 million), compared with loss of RMB261.1 million in 2022. In the full year of 2023, the Company recorded US$4.1 million (RMB29.1 million) valuation allowance of deferred tax asset compared to RMB35.2 million in 2022, which is non-cash in nature and does not materially affect our operations.

Outlook

For the first quarter of 2024, the Company's management currently expects net revenues to be between US$42 million (RMB300 million) and US$49 million (RMB350 million), compared with RMB645 million in the first quarter of 2023.

This outlook is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company's current and preliminary estimates of market, operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We use adjusted net income/(loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted operating expenses represent operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted operating income/(loss) represents operating income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted EBIT represents net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses, income tax (benefit)/expense, interest income and interest expense. Adjusted net income/(loss) represents net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses, and such adjustment has no impact on income tax. Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes share-based compensation expenses attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, and is used as the numerator in computation of adjusted net income/(loss) per share and per ADS attributable to Zepp Health Corporation.

We believe that adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net income/(loss) and net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation. We believe that adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation 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/(loss), adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income/(loss), basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share and per ADS attributable to Zepp Health Corporation 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/(loss), adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income/(loss) 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.
