Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) ("Sea" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

In the first quarter of 2026, Sea's GAAP revenue was US$7.1 billion, up 46.6% year-on-year. The Company also achieved gross profit of US$3.1 billion, up 40.7% year-on-year, and net income of US$438.2 million, up 6.7% year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased by 9.3% year-on-year to reach US$1.0 billion.

"We have had a strong start to the year. 2026 is a year where we are leaning in to deepen our competitive moats, while maintaining financial discipline. Our strong revenue growth reflects the effectiveness of these investments, and we are already seeing unit economics start to improve for some of these initiatives. We believe this is the right approach to maximize long-term value, given the significant runway for growth still ahead of us in our markets," said Forrest Li, Sea's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

On Shopee, he said, "Shopee delivered another record-setting quarter, achieving new highs in GMV, gross order volume, and revenue while maintaining financial discipline. Looking ahead, we are confident in the strength of our Shopee ecosystem and our ability to execute our strategies. We are on track to deliver our 2026 guidance: to grow Shopee's annual GMV by around 25% year-on-year, with full year adjusted EBITDA no lower than 2025 in absolute dollar terms."

On Monee, Mr. Li said, "Monee continues to grow healthily while maintaining stable asset quality. Expansion into more user segments, off-Shopee use cases, and early markets like Brazil are giving us a much larger addressable opportunity across our portfolio. We remain confident that Monee will be a significant long-term profit contributor for Sea."

On Garena, Mr. Li said, "Garena had a stellar start to 2026, delivering its best quarter since 2021. This performance was driven by the continued strength of Free Fire, alongside a record contribution from Arena of Valor. The sustained success of both games demonstrates our unique ability to operate games well across genres, in multiple markets, and over long periods of time. We will remain focused on delivering fresh experiences and building the long-term value of our game portfolio."

On the growing role of AI, he said, "We have taken a practical, results-oriented approach, embedding AI into our operations to drive better outcomes for our users and greater efficiency across our platform. Across our ecosystem, we see the AI era as creating significant opportunities for a company like ours – with established scale, rich cross-vertical data, and deep local expertise."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate our operating performance:

"Adjusted EBITDA" for our Garena segment represents operating income (loss) plus (a) depreciation and amortization expenses, and (b) the net effect of changes in deferred revenue and its related cost for our Garena segment. We believe that the segment adjusted EBITDA helps to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing their understanding of the past performance and future prospects.

"Adjusted EBITDA" for our Shopee segment, Monee segment and other services segment represents operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expenses. We believe that the segment adjusted EBITDA helps to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing their understanding of the past performance and future prospects.

"Total adjusted EBITDA" represents the sum of adjusted EBITDA of all our segments combined, plus unallocated expenses. We believe that the total adjusted EBITDA helps to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing their understanding of the past performance and future prospects.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. None of the above financial measures should be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to revenue, net loss/income, or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures 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 Sea's data. We compensate for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP financial measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

The tables below present selected financial information of our reporting segments, the non-GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to GAAP financial measures, and the related reconciliations between the financial measures. Amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars ("$") except for number of shares & per share data.

UNAUDITED SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has three reportable segments, namely Shopee, Monee and Garena. The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), comprising our senior management team, evaluates each segment's financial performance by reviewing revenue, significant operating expenses, and segment operating income or loss. To allocate resources for each segment, the CODM evaluates these results, along with certain key operating metrics of each segment. This assessment is done regularly by monitoring each segment's actual financial and operating performance against projections as part of the Company's business planning and budgeting process. Amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars ("$").

⁽¹⁾A combination of multiple business activities that do not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable segments are grouped together as "Other Services".

⁽²⁾The significant expenses categories and other income amounts align with the segmental-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM.

⁽³⁾Other operating expenses for Shopee and Garena include general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and provision for credit losses, net of other operating income. Other operating expenses for Monee include general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, net of other operating income.

⁽⁴⁾ Unallocated expenses are mainly related to share-based compensation, and general and corporate administrative costs such as professional fees and other miscellaneous items that are not allocated to segments. These expenses are excluded from segment results as they are not reviewed by the CODM as part of segment performance.
