Huami Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2018 Unaudited Financial Results

Revenues up 54.8% Year-over-Year to RMB760.1 Million, Exceeding Guidance Range

BEIJING, August 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Huami Corporation ("Huami" or the "Company") (NYSE: HMI), a biometric and activity data-driven company with significant expertise in smart wearable technology, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Second Quarter 2018 Financial and Operating Highlights

First Six Months of 2018 Financial and Operating Highlights

1 The Group adopted ASC 606 by using modified retrospective method since January 1, 2018.

2 Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes share-based compensation expenses. See "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release.

"We are pleased to deliver strong top and bottom line results in the second quarter that exceeded our expectations," said Wang Huang, Chairman and CEO. "Our performance was driven by robust sales of Amazfit branded products as well as the extremely successful launch of the Mi Band 3 during the quarter. In the first half of 2018, we sold approximately 1.4 million units Amazfit branded products, and revenue generated from Amazfit branded products and other value added services was RMB 523.0 million. This revenue amount is more than four times of that of first half of 2017. Our results reflect our strong competitive position and compelling product offering, and reinforce our proven track record of delivering products that meet market demands. Our recently announced acquisition of Zepp assets and strategic partnership with PAI Health will ensure our product development pipeline remains full and position us to further penetrate the healthcare and sports arenas. Furthermore, these alliances accelerate our efforts to monetize our vast datasets and expand into the global market."

David Cui, Chief Financial Officer, said, "Strong sales of higher margin self-branded products helped offset the anticipated margin drag of selling through older generation products and drove solid profitability for the quarter. The successful launch of the Mi Band 3 and effective management of the Mi Band 2 transition highlight our demonstrated ability to effectively manage the product lifecycle. Building on our momentum, we continue to make strategic investments in our research and development capabilities to ensure we remain on the leading edge of smart wearable technology. During the second quarter, we made incremental investments in R&D related to internet apps, AI and products to penetrate the healthcare sector. In addition, our marketing expense increased as we look to build broader awareness and adoption of our self-branded products. We are extremely pleased with our performance during the first half of the year, and these investments help ensure we are well positioned to continue to deliver strong results as we enter the second half of the year."

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.

We believe that adjusted net income helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net income. We believe that adjusted net income 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, 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 Huami 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, 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.
