Sea Limited has reported a total net income of US$331.0 million ($449.19 million) for the 2QFY2023 ended June 30, its third straight quarter of net-profit.

This is a 135.5% y-o-y increase, as compared to total net loss of US$931.2 million in the same period a year ago.

This brings its earnings per share to 0.57 US cents, a 134.1% increase y-o-y from the loss per share of 1.67 cents in the same period a year ago.

The group’s total GAAP (or generally accepted accounting principles) revenue was at US$3.1 billion, up 5.2% y-o-y. This was on the backing of a 20.6% y-o-y GAAP revenue for its e-commerce segment, Shopee, which amounted to US$2.1 billion.

The segment’s adjusted ebitda is US$150.3 million, as compared to a loss of US$648.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, where Asia markets continued to lead the growth in this segment.

Gross orders also increased by more than 10% quarter-on-quarter as a result of growth in both active buyers and buyer purchase frequency.

Meanwhile, Garena’s GAAP revenue dropped, coming in at US$529.4 million, as compared to US$539.7 million for the previous quarter.

The adjusted ebitda came in at US$239.5 million, increasing by 4.1% q-o-q from US$230.1 million for the previous quarter, partly driven by the sequential increase in Free Fire bookings which has higher margins.

Even though Garena recorded a slightly lower q-o-q revenue, its quarterly active users increased by 10.8% q-o-q from 491.6 million to 544.5 million. It also saw a 14.6% increase q-o-q of quarterly paying users of 43.1 million, and a paying user ratio increasing to 7.9% compared to 7.7% for the previous quarter.
