Zepp Health Corporation Reports First Quarter
2022 Unaudited Financial Results
BEIJING, May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zepp Health
Corporation ("Zepp" or the "Company") (NYSE: ZEPP) today reported revenue of RMB0.8 billion (US$119.4 million);
GAAP diluted net loss per share of RMB0.36 (US$0.06); and GAAP diluted net loss per ADS of RMB1.42 (US$0.22) for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2022. Each ADS represents four Class A ordinary shares.
"We achieved RMB0.8 billion in revenue in
the first quarter, meeting our guidance range despite the pandemic resurgence and a slowdown in consumer discretionary spending due to
geopolitical and macroeconomic factors during the quarter," said Wang Huang, Chairman and CEO of Zepp Health. "Amid all the
challenges around us, our fundamentals continue to be strong and our commitment to Connecting Technology With Health remains unwavering.
We made solid progress across our product portfolio including the newly launched Zepp Clarity One hearables as well as our Zepp OS ecosystem
during the first quarter, and we are ready for the upcoming launch of the next generation Amazfit Bip, Pop, and T-Rex - not to mention
the Mi Band 7 which was lauched just today - all with more features to assist and delight our users. Our inclusive and innovative Zepp
OS ecosystem has drawn more than 2,000 developers globally to design apps and watch faces on our platform, contributing to a flourishing
user community that is more vibrant than ever."
Zepp Health CFO Leon Deng stated, "The ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic compounded by geopolitical unrest dampened our revenue in the first quarter, which declined 34% year-over-year. However,
we are pleased to see that our revenue mix continue to shift towards our self-branded products, which contributed more than 65% of our
total revenue. Adjusted net loss for the quarter was RMB75.7 million, versus RMB29.0 million for the same period last year mainly due
to lower sales. As the uncertainty persists, we will continue to streamline our costs to try to regain our future profitability, while
executing our growth strategy and creating long-term shareholder value."

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Total units shipped in the first quarter 2022 decreased by 41.3% year-over-year
to 3.7 million, compared with 6.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. This was caused by a 45.5% decrease in units of products built
for Xiaomi, and a 31.6% decrease in unit shipments of Amazfit and Zepp branded products.
Revenues for the first quarter of 2022 reached
RMB0.8 billion (US$119.4 million), a decrease of 34.0% from the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was mostly driven by the decrease
in Mi band shipments due to the anticipation of next generation Mi band launch. Our self-brand product sales were hampered by the lower
consumer discretionary spending, and also impacted by COVID-19 lockdowns in China. On top of these factors, the first quarter is typically
the lowest market demand quarter throughout the year.
Impact of COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine Conflict
The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continued
in the first quarter of 2022, although abating in some degree in Europe and USA where some restrictions were lifted. The fresh lockdowns
in China affected the retail store sales and brought challenges to our supply chain globally. Shortages of electronic components and chips
for different industries persisted and accordingly affected the supply and production cycle for the Company. Furthermore, the lockdowns
of several megacities in China, especially Shenzhen, weakened consumer demand, as well as posted big challenges to the Company's
supply chain for the quarter, causing delays for our products to arrive at target markets, and this continued into the second quarter.
Given the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic at the time of this release, the Company cannot predict the extent of future negative
impacts on market conditions or the Company's operations.
The continued conflict situation between Russia
and the Ukraine affect the demand for and sales of Xiaomi wearable products and our self-branded products in the affected regions. As
Europe is one of biggest sales region for the Company, the conflict also affected on consumer confidence in Europe and the EUR currency
value. Revenue from sales of products in Russia and Ukraine accounted for approximately 4% of our total revenues in 2021. Currently the
situation does not have a material adverse impact on the Company.
Gross margin in the first quarter of 2022 was
20.1%, lower by 2.4% compared with 22.5% for the same period of 2021 and higher by 0.8% compared with 19.3% for the fourth quarter of
2021. Lower gross margin in the first quarter of 2022 resulted from higher freight cost versus the same period last year. Gross margin
and gross profit were affected by product mix as different products had different margin contributions. These changes can also be influenced
by the stage of the product in its lifecycle, product iterations, and new product introductions.
Research and Development
Research and development expense in the first
quarter of 2022 was RMB146.4 million, decreasing 3.9% year-over-year, and comprising 19.3% of revenue, versus 13.3% for the same period
last year. This reflects effective expense control in R&D activities. The company optimized its integrated product development process
to effectively develop new smart devices and promoted its open platform ZEPP OS to welcome more outside developers to upload their apps
and programs on the smart watches and also saved our development resources.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expense in the first quarter
of 2022 was RMB103.1 million, increasing 13.6% year-over-year, and comprising 13.6% of revenue, compared with 7.9% of revenue for the
same period in 2021. The growth was due to the increase of overseas sales personnels to serve for local market and self-branded products
advertisement promotions in both domestic and overseas market. The marketing expenses decreased by RMB49.0 million, 32.2% quarter-over-quarter,
compared with the fourth quarter period in 2021. The decrease was due to effective expense control on marketing expense while balancing
investments to expand sales channels and markets around the world.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense was RMB58.2
million in the first quarter of 2022, decreasing 10.9% year-over-year, and comprising 7.7% of revenue, compared with 5.7% in the same
period in 2021. It was largely attributable to tighter cost control on our daily operating activities.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter
of 2022 were RMB307.7 million, a decrease of 0.2% year-over-year, which accounted for 40.6% of revenue for the period, as compared with
26.9% in the first quarter of 2021. In this year, the Company will continue to work on streamlining the cost further to strive for profitability
realization for the future.
Operating Income/(Loss)
Operating loss for the first quarter of 2022 was
RMB155.4 million, which decreased by RMB105.2 million from operating loss of RMB50.2 million for the same period in 2021.
Net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation
for the first quarter of 2022 was RMB88.7 million, compared with RMB40.4 million net loss in the first quarter of 2021. The first quarter
typically sees the lowest revenue level in the year due to seasonality, and this first quarter was also further weakened by the Russia
Ukraine conflict and lockdowns in China.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash and
cash equivalents of RMB1,022.0 million (US$161.2 million), compared with RMB1,468.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and RMB1,090.5 million
as of March 31, 2021.
Share Repurchase Program Update
The Company had announced in its third quarter
2021 earnings release that the board had authorized a share repurchase program of up to US$20 million. As of March 31, 2022, the
Company has used US$6.9 million to repurchase 1,540,703 ADSs. The Company intends to continue the repurchase program.
On March 16, 2022, the
Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a special cash dividend of US$0.025 per ordinary share (US$0.1 per ADS) on
its outstanding shares to shareholders of record as of the close of trading on March 28, 2022, with ex-dividend date being March 25. The
company paid out dividends to ADS holders on April 15, 2022.
For the second quarter
of 2022, the management of the Company currently expects:
