The battle royale title, which was optimized for lower-end devices, quickly became one of the most popular mobile games in Southeast Asia and Latin America, and was the most-downloaded mobile game in the world in both 2019 and 2020, according to App Annie.</p><p><blockquote>四年前,Garena推出了<i>自由射击</i>,旗下首款自研手游。根据App Annie的数据,针对低端设备进行了优化的《皇家战役》很快成为东南亚和拉丁美洲最受欢迎的手机游戏之一,并且是2019年和2020年全球下载量最大的手机游戏。</blockquote></p><p> <i>Free Fire's</i>success significantly boosted Garena's margins, since it wasn't a licensed game like the publisher's earlier titles. As a result, Sea's digital entertainment segment (which houses Garena) started to generate even stronger adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) growth -- a sharp contrast to the company's e-commerce segment, which has been growing more unprofitable.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62a40cb0cfc26f2711593eeadadb17b1\" tg-width=\"794\" tg-height=\"200\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Therefore, Sea clearly needs <i>Free Fire</i> to keep generating that higher-margin revenue to subsidize the expansion of the Shopee e-commerce platform.

Shopee is gaining ground fast in Latin America</p><p><blockquote>2.Shopee在拉丁美洲迅速取得进展</blockquote></p><p> When Shopee expanded into Brazil two years ago, skeptics predicted that it would be crushed by <b>MercadoLibre</b>(NASDAQ:MELI), the 800-pound gorilla of Latin American e-commerce. However, Shopee launched aggressive marketing campaigns, offered steep discounts, and expanded into other Latin American markets.</p><p><blockquote>当Shopee两年前扩展到巴西时,怀疑者预测它将被<b>自由市场</b>(纳斯达克:MELI),拉丁美洲电子商务的800磅大猩猩。然而,Shopee发起了积极的营销活动,提供大幅折扣,并扩展到其他拉丁美洲市场。</blockquote></p><p> As a result, Shopee actually overtook MercadoLibre as the most-downloaded shopping app in Latin America earlier this year. By the end of August, Shopee's monthly active users (MAUs) in Latin America had risen 136% year over year to more than 30 million, according to Apptopia. MercadoLibre ended last quarter with 78.7 million unique active users.</p><p><blockquote>因此,Shopee实际上在今年早些时候超过了MercadoLibre,成为拉丁美洲下载量最大的购物应用程序。根据Apptopia的数据,截至8月底,Shopee在拉丁美洲的月活跃用户(MAU)同比增长136%,达到超过3000万。MercadoLibre上季度末拥有7870万独立活跃用户。</blockquote></p><p> Sea doesn't break out its Latin American results yet, but it's likely still racking up big losses as it expands through MercadoLibre's backyard. Last quarter, Sea said Shopee's adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.41 per order remained unchanged sequentially and year over year across all of its markets -- but narrowed by both metrics in its core Southeast Asia and Taiwan market.</p><p><blockquote>Sea尚未公布其拉丁美洲业绩,但随着其通过MercadoLibre后院扩张,它可能仍会遭受巨额亏损。Sea表示,上个季度,Shopee所有市场的调整后EBITDA亏损为每笔订单0.41美元,环比和同比均保持不变,但在其核心东南亚和台湾市场的这两项指标均有所收窄。</blockquote></p><p> In other words, Sea needs to continue narrowing Shopee's losses in Southeast Asia and Taiwan -- all while maintaining <i>Free Fire's</i>growth -- to stabilize its adjusted EBITDA as it expands its massive ecosystem.</p><p><blockquote>换句话说,Sea需要继续缩小Shopee在东南亚和台湾的亏损——同时保持<i>自由射击的</i>增长——在扩大庞大生态系统的同时稳定调整后的EBITDA。</blockquote></p><p> 3. Sea Limited is evolving into a digital bank</p><p><blockquote>3.Sea Limited正在向数字银行发展</blockquote></p><p> Shopee isn't Sea's only unprofitable business. Its digital financial services segment, which houses the Sea Money payments platform and other fintech units, is losing money too. This business was also granted a full digital banking license in Singapore last December.</p><p><blockquote>Shopee并不是Sea唯一不盈利的业务。其数字金融服务部门(包括Sea Money支付平台和其他金融科技部门)也在亏损。这项业务也于去年12月在新加坡获得了完整的数字银行牌照。</blockquote></p><p> Sea launched the digital financial services segment in the fourth quarter of 2019, and both the total payment volume and the number of quarterly paying users on its mobile wallet app have skyrocketed in the two years since. Unfortunately, its losses are also widening:<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40d393bcaa2441a53a52b8f0e431b310\" tg-width=\"791\" tg-height=\"241\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Once again, this highlights Sea's overwhelming dependence on <i>Free Fire</i> to do the heavy lifting and support its other, unprofitable businesses.</p><p><blockquote>Sea于2019年第四季度推出了数字金融服务部门,其移动钱包应用程序的总支付量和季度付费用户数量在此后的两年里都实现了飙升。遗憾的是,其亏损也在扩大:这再次凸显了Sea对<i>自由射击</i>承担繁重的工作并支持其他无利可图的业务。</blockquote></p><p> A wobbly (but promising) business model</p><p><blockquote>不稳定(但充满希望)的商业模式</blockquote></p><p> These three points show us just how unusual Sea's business model is: It's an e-commerce and fintech giant that (for now) relies on the profits from a single mobile game to offset the staggering losses of its other high-growth businesses.</p><p><blockquote>这三点向我们展示了Sea的商业模式是多么不寻常:它是一家电子商务和金融科技巨头,(目前)依靠单款手机游戏的利润来抵消其他高增长业务的惊人亏损。</blockquote></p><p> On the bright side, Sea also raised about $6 billion in fresh capital earlier this year with a big secondary stock and convertible debt offering -- and it ended the third quarter with $11.1 billion in cash and equivalents on the books. Therefore, Sea can afford to keep bleeding red ink for the foreseeable future.</p><p><blockquote>好的一面是,Sea今年早些时候还通过大规模发行二级股票和可转换债券筹集了约60亿美元的新资本,截至第三季度末,账面上的现金和等价物为111亿美元。因此,在可预见的未来,Sea有能力继续亏损。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> I believe Sea still has plenty of growth potential, but it will remain a very volatile stock. Potential investors should be well aware of these risks before betting that the stock will generate multibagger gains.</p><p><blockquote>我相信Sea仍然有很大的增长潜力,但它仍将是一只波动很大的股票。潜在投资者在押注该股票将产生多重收益之前应该充分了解这些风险。</blockquote></p><p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Things About Sea Limited That Smart Investors Know<blockquote>聪明的投资者知道的关于Sea Limited的3件事</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Things About Sea Limited That Smart Investors Know<blockquote>聪明的投资者知道的关于Sea Limited的3件事</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">Motley Fool</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-12-10 13:17</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Most investors likely know three things about <b>Sea Limited</b>(NYSE:SE): that it owns Shopee, the top e-commerce player in Southeast Asia and Taiwan; that it owns the mobile game publisher Garena; and that it is deeply unprofitable.</p><p><blockquote>大多数投资者可能知道以下三件事<b>海有限公司</b>(纽约证券交易所代码:SE):拥有东南亚和台湾顶级电子商务公司Shopee;它拥有手机游戏发行商Garena;而且它是无利可图的。</blockquote></p><p> But this tech company is actually fairly complex, and to better understand its sprawling business, it's worth examining three finer points about it that garner a lot less attention: its dependence on <i>Free Fire;</i> its expansion plans in Latin America; and the growth of its fintech ecosystem.</p><p><blockquote>但这家科技公司实际上相当复杂,为了更好地了解其庞大的业务,有必要研究一下它的三个较少受到关注的细节:它对<i>自由射击;</i>其在拉丁美洲的扩张计划;及其金融科技生态系统的增长。</blockquote></p><p> 1.<i>Free Fire</i> is the wind in Sea's sails</p><p><blockquote>1.<i>自由射击</i>风是大海的帆吗</blockquote></p><p> Four years ago, Garena launched <i>Free Fire</i>, its first self-developed mobile game.

The battle royale title, which was optimized for lower-end devices, quickly became one of the most popular mobile games in Southeast Asia and Latin America, and was the most-downloaded mobile game in the world in both 2019 and 2020, according to App Annie.\nFree Fire'ssuccess significantly boosted Garena's margins, since it wasn't a licensed game like the publisher's earlier titles. As a result, Sea's digital entertainment segment (which houses Garena) started to generate even stronger adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) growth -- a sharp contrast to the company's e-commerce segment, which has been growing more unprofitable.Therefore, Sea clearly needs Free Fire to keep generating that higher-margin revenue to subsidize the expansion of the Shopee e-commerce platform. That's a hefty burden to place on a 4-year-old mobile game.\nLooking ahead, Garena's top priorities will be to maintain Free Fire'smomentum, expand the franchise with new versions (likeFree Fire MAXfor higher-end devices), and launch more self-developed titles. Failing to achieve any of those goals could cause Sea's adjusted EBITDA to plummet.\n2. Shopee is gaining ground fast in Latin America\nWhen Shopee expanded into Brazil two years ago, skeptics predicted that it would be crushed by MercadoLibre(NASDAQ:MELI), the 800-pound gorilla of Latin American e-commerce. However, Shopee launched aggressive marketing campaigns, offered steep discounts, and expanded into other Latin American markets.\nAs a result, Shopee actually overtook MercadoLibre as the most-downloaded shopping app in Latin America earlier this year. By the end of August, Shopee's monthly active users (MAUs) in Latin America had risen 136% year over year to more than 30 million, according to Apptopia. MercadoLibre ended last quarter with 78.7 million unique active users.\nSea doesn't break out its Latin American results yet, but it's likely still racking up big losses as it expands through MercadoLibre's backyard. Last quarter, Sea said Shopee's adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.41 per order remained unchanged sequentially and year over year across all of its markets -- but narrowed by both metrics in its core Southeast Asia and Taiwan market.\nIn other words, Sea needs to continue narrowing Shopee's losses in Southeast Asia and Taiwan -- all while maintaining Free Fire'sgrowth -- to stabilize its adjusted EBITDA as it expands its massive ecosystem.\n3. Sea Limited is evolving into a digital bank\nShopee isn't Sea's only unprofitable business. Its digital financial services segment, which houses the Sea Money payments platform and other fintech units, is losing money too. This business was also granted a full digital banking license in Singapore last December.\nSea launched the digital financial services segment in the fourth quarter of 2019, and both the total payment volume and the number of quarterly paying users on its mobile wallet app have skyrocketed in the two years since. Unfortunately, its losses are also widening:Once again, this highlights Sea's overwhelming dependence on Free Fire to do the heavy lifting and support its other, unprofitable businesses.\nA wobbly (but promising) business model\nThese three points show us just how unusual Sea's business model is: It's an e-commerce and fintech giant that (for now) relies on the profits from a single mobile game to offset the staggering losses of its other high-growth businesses.\nOn the bright side, Sea also raised about $6 billion in fresh capital earlier this year with a big secondary stock and convertible debt offering -- and it ended the third quarter with $11.1 billion in cash and equivalents on the books. Therefore, Sea can afford to keep bleeding red ink for the foreseeable future.\nI believe Sea still has plenty of growth potential, but it will remain a very volatile stock. Potential investors should be well aware of these risks before betting that the stock will generate multibagger gains.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"SE":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1695,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":602554499,"gmtCreate":1639046517519,"gmtModify":1639046517519,"author":{"id":"4101985858496630","authorId":"4101985858496630","name":"iamkx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/382b0689619a9c8c18a05da3923403a0","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4101985858496630","idStr":"4101985858496630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Time to buy meta stocks","listText":"Time to buy meta stocks","text":"Time to buy meta stocks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/602554499","repostId":"1171554247","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2227,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":602108973,"gmtCreate":1638977699942,"gmtModify":1638977699942,"author":{"id":"4101985858496630","authorId":"4101985858496630","name":"iamkx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/382b0689619a9c8c18a05da3923403a0","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4101985858496630","idStr":"4101985858496630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hello everyoneee","listText":"Hello everyoneee","text":"Hello everyoneee","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/602108973","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1173,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"following","isTTM":false}
