Tuya Reports Second Quarter 2021 Unaudited Financial Results

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Tuya Inc. ("Tuya" or the "Company") (NYSE: TUYA), a global leading IoT platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2021. 

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

Second Quarter 2021 Operating Highlights

⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺

[1]       The Company defines an IoT PaaS customer for a given period as a customer who has directly placed orders for IoT PaaS with the Company during that period.
[2]       The Company defines a premium IoT PaaS customer as a customer as of a given date that contributed more than US$100,000 of IoT PaaS revenue during the immediately preceding 12-month period.
[3]       The Company calculates dollar-based net expansion rate of IoT PaaS for a trailing 12-month period by first identifying all customers in the prior 12-month period (i.e., those have placed at least one order for IoT PaaS during that period), and then calculating the quotient from dividing the IoT PaaS revenue generated from such customers in the current trailing 12-month period by the IoT PaaS revenue generated from the same group of customers in the prior 12-month period.

Mr. Xueji (Jerry) Wang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tuya, commented, "We are seeing strong momentum across the entire business as we continue to successfully execute our growth strategy despite the macro headwinds that are impacting the industry. We delivered robust results in the second quarter, as our total revenues grew by 118% year over year, primarily driven by our IoT PaaS business achieving an over 160% year-over-year growth. To help our customers negative the global chip shortage. we are providing comprehensive and cost-effective IoT services as well as unique solutions such as "IoT microcontroller alternative solution" further enabling customers to quickly enter the market and grow into IoT leaders. Continuing our deep commitment to data security and privacy, we are working with the world’s top security assessment companies and audit institutions to ensure our security compliance remains best-in-class with localized data processing and storage for regions such as US and Europe, and isolation of each data center, through independent testing, audit, and consulting from reputable third parties. As our highest priority, data security and compliance together with R&D investment serves as the solid foundation for our sustained future growth."

Ms. Yao (Jessie) Liu, Board Director and Chief Financial Officer of Tuya, added, "The notable growth in business from both existing and new customers together with our fast iterated products and technologies led to our success during the quarter, as our total revenue grew to US$84.7 million and our gross margin achieved a steady quarter-over-quarter increase to 42.2%. As for operations, our operating efficiency increased year over year as a joint effect of both business growth and operating expenses increases due to well-executed talent recruitment for future development and strategically increased marketing events to seize the opportunities under the global re-open."

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2021 increased by 118.0% to US$84.7 million from US$38.8 million in the same period of 2020, mainly driven by the increase in IoT PaaS revenue.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2021 increased by 80.8% to US$49.0 million from US$27.1 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the rapid growth of the Company’s business.

Operating expenses increased by 182.6% to US$77.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 from US$27.3 million in the same period of 2020.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Tuya had cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments of US$1,256.1 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to US$179.8 million as of December 31, 2020, which the Company believes is sufficient to meet its current liquidity and working capital needs. The increase in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments during second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the net proceeds received from the Company’s initial public offering in March 2021, and the proceeds from exercising its IPO related over-allotment option in April 2021.

NET CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash generated from operating activities for the second quarter of 2021 was US$5.8 million, or 6.9% of revenue, compared to US$7.0 million of net cash used in operating activities, or 18.1% of revenue in the second quarter of 2020. The net cash generated from operating activities was mainly due to our rapid business growth and continued improvement in operating efficiency, together with a one-off cash inflow from a depositary bank.

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2021, the Company currently expects its total revenue to be between US$83 million and US$86 million. This forecast only reflects the Company’s current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations (including non-GAAP operating margin), non-GAAP net loss (including non-GAAP net margin), and non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ADS, as a supplemental measure to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company defines non-GAAP measures by measures excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitates investors’ assessment of its operating performance.

Non-GAAP measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using aforementioned non-GAAP measures is that it does not reflect all items of expenses that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP measures. Further, the non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliations of Tuya’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release.
