Health Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2022 Unaudited Financial Results
August 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zepp Health Corporation ("Zepp" or the "Company") (NYSE: ZEPP) today reported
revenues of RMB1.1 billion (US$165.5 million); GAAP diluted net loss per share of RMB0.44 (US$0.07); and GAAP diluted net loss per ADS
of RMB1.74 (US$0.26) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. Each ADS represents four Class A ordinary shares.
"Our second quarter revenues improved from
the first quarter, which highlights our execution capabilities, product strength and disciplined business management approach, in the
face of macro economic challenges. We achieved RMB1.1 billion in revenues, representing a 46.4% increase quarter-over-quarter. Our year-over-year
revenues decreased by 39.6%, mainly due to the different product launch timing compared with last year, especially when Mi-band 7 was
launched at the end of the second quarter due to continued chip shortage." said Wang Huang, Chairman and CEO of Zepp Health. "The
improvement of our second quarter from first quarter also illustrated our effective product strategy and our ability to extend and solidify
our market position. I am optimistic we can deliver stronger results in the second half of 2022 as we have witnessed strong sales traction
from our self-branded smartwatches, including Amazfit T-Rex 2, Amazfit Bip 3 and Amazfit Bip 3 Pro, since their launch toward the end
of the second quarter. As a company passionately committed to technological innovation, we are constantly expanding our technology footprint
to attract more users to join our flourishing Zepp OS ecosystem. From June 1 to August 31, we are hosting the first-ever Zepp
OS Global Online Hackathon to create closer bonds with developers worldwide and foster smartwatch innovation."
Chief Financial Officer, Leon Deng, added, "Second
quarter results demonstrated our resilience against multiple macroeconomic headwinds. During the period, our improved revenues and effective
expense control initiatives helped us further narrow our operating loss by RMB44.8 million quarter-over-quarter. I am confident that our
strict management of costs and expansion of product portfolio will position us for long-term success."

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Total units shipped in the second quarter 2022 decreased by 45.2% year-over-year
to 6.3 million, compared with 11.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. This was mainly caused by a 50.0% decrease in units of products
built for Xiaomi, due to different product launch timing compared with last year.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2022 reached
RMB1.1 billion (US$165.5 million), a decrease of 39.6% from the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was mostly because the Mi band 7
was launched two-month later than Mi Band 6 in the comparison period. Our self-brand product sales were affected by lower consumer discretionary
spending. We launched Amazfit Trex 2 and Bip new series, which showed early success in June and continued to gain traction heading
into the third quarter.
Impact of COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine Conflict
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to
have, a significant impact around the world in the second quarter of 2022, prompting governments and businesses to take unprecedented
measures, such as restrictions on business operations, temporary closures of businesses, travels, and quarantine and shelter-in-place
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 Shanghai, 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 affected the demand for and sales of Xiaomi wearable products and our self-branded products in the affected
regions. As Europe is one of the biggest sales regions for the Company, the conflict also affected freight cost, 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.
margin in the second quarter of 2022 was 17.9%, lower by 4.1% compared with 22.0% for the same period of 2021 and lower by 2.2% compared
with 20.1% for the first quarter of 2022. Lower gross margin in the second quarter of 2022 resulted from higher outbound freight
cost globally versus the same period last year, adverse currency depreciation impact, and promotions for our previous generation products
to prepare for the new product launches.
Research and Development
Research and development expense in the second
quarter of 2022 was RMB129.0 million, decreasing 19.5% year-over-year, and comprising 11.6% of revenues, versus 8.7% for the same period
last year. This was mainly driven by expense optimization. Furthermore, the Company is holding Zepp OS Global Online Hackathon around
the world and have attracted thousands of third-party developers to develop their apps and programs on the Company's developer community
website. Now users could find several mini games on our GT3 smartwatch. Zepp OS is a platform to form economic scale to streamline the
R&D expenses and integrate different programs.
Selling and Marketing
and marketing expense in the second quarter of 2022 was RMB108.3 million, increasing 3.4% year-over-year, and comprising 9.8% of
revenues, compared with 5.7% of revenue for the same period in 2021. The increase was due to the e-commerce online advertisement promotions
for our self-branded products to match with competitors.
General and Administrative
and administrative expense was RMB71.7 million in the second quarter of 2022, increasing 7.9% year-over-year, and comprising 6.5%
of revenues, compared with 3.6% in the same period in 2021. It was largely attributable to exchange rate fluctuation.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter
of 2022 were RMB308.9 million, a decrease of 6.8% year-over-year, which accounted for 27.9% of revenues for the period, as compared with
18.1% in the second quarter of 2021. In 2022, the Company will continue to work on cost optimization to adapt to the macro environment
and strive for profitability realization for the future.
Operating Income/(Loss)
Operating loss for the second quarter of 2022
was RMB110.6 million, which decreased by RMB182.2 million from operating income of RMB71.6 million for the same period in 2021. The loss
was mainly caused by the decreased revenue scale, which could not cover the relatively fixed operating expenses in the quarter.
Net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation
for the second quarter of 2022 was RMB106.9 million, compared with RMB92.6 million net income in the second quarter of 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

and cash equivalents and restricted cash of RMB997.1 million (US$148.9 million), compared with RMB1,052.9 million as of March 31,
2022 and RMB1,509.5 million as of December 31, 2021.

2021 earnings release that the board had authorized a share repurchase program of up to US$20 million. As of June 30, 2022,

This outlook reflects
continued uncertainty pertaining to the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on sales and on electronic component delays, as well
