AMSTERDAM, August 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Zepp Health Corporation ("Zepp" or the "Company") (NYSE: ZEPP) today reported revenues of RMB0.65 billion (US$89.4
million); a basic and diluted net loss per share of RMB0.29 (US$0.04); and a basic and diluted net loss per ADS of RMB1.15 (US$0.16) for

"In the second quarter of 2023, we were
delighted to witness our strategic transformation from a company heavily reliant on a single customer for revenue to becoming a self-reliant,
global smart wearable and healthcare solution provider yielding early success, as our self-branded products contributed 68% of our top
line and 85% of our total gross profit. The increased mix of our margin-accretive self-branded products, together with our optimized retail
channels, drove our overall gross margin to 22.0%, reaching the highest level since the second quarter of 2021. Our Amazfit brand's
gross margin percentage experienced a remarkable 51% increase year-over-year, which demonstrated the strength and resilience of the brand."
said Mr. Wayne Wang Huang, Chairman and CEO of Zepp. "With unwavering commitment to enhancing user experiences, expanding our
offerings and fostering a thriving user community, we anticipate sustained quarter-over-quarter revenue growth on self-branded products
in the third quarter, fueled by the launch of new products."
"During the second quarter, we leveraged
on AI technology and our integrated supply chain to expand our product portfolio and enhance existing product lines with intelligent features.
Notably, we introduced Amazfit Cheetah, our dedicated running smartwatch series, featuring AI Chat for personalized coach-to-athlete interactions
and industry-leading GPS technology. Looking ahead, we remain committed to refining our AI-powered products and services, solidifying
our global reputation for excellence and affordability in all markets. As post-pandemic opportunities arise, we are confident that our
dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction will fuel our trajectory of success in the smart wearable and healthcare industry."
Mr. Leon Deng, Zepp's Chief Financial
Officer, added, "Our second quarter revenues came within our guidance range at RMB648.3 million, down by 41.5% year-over-year due
to lower Mi Band sales. Nevertheless, our self-branded sales showed resilient recovery, achieving a 12.7% sequential growth during the
second quarter, and a mild decline of 7.3% versus last year."
"Moreover, we delivered on our quarterly
expenses run rate target and successfully reduced our GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses to RMB215 million and RMB204 million, respectively,
thanks to our continued ROI-oriented expenses management strategies across supply chain, R&D, products and marketing. our operating
loss for the second quarter shrank to RMB72.4 million as a result of higher self-branded products gross margin and tighter expenses control,
compared with RMB110.6 million loss in the same quarter last year. Meanwhile, our inventory has decreased to RMB743 million, reaching
the lowest level in three years.
We have managed to maintain a positive operating cash flow, which we utilize to reduce the Company's
debt level accordingly. Going forward, we will persist with our prudent stance towards expenses, while investing responsibly with great
discipline in research and development and marketing activities to reinforce our long-term position. We are optimistic about returning
to profitability in the near future."

Gross margin in the second quarter of 2023 was
22.0%, 4.1% higher than the same period of 2022. Despite the inventory
clearance efforts, we were able to improve the gross margin for self-branded products, which reached its peak since the third quarter

measures that we have implemented since last year. These measures include streamlining retail channels and optimizing personnel allocation
in various sales regions. These allowed us to operate more efficiently while maintaining an active market presence. We will continue to
invest strategically in our brand, adopting an ROI-based marketing strategy to ensure its ongoing growth and success.

million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease by 24.6% year-over-year. This comprised 8.3% of revenues, compared with 6.5% in the

compensation, was RMB61.7 million.
