Garena is still experiencing headwinds from the reopening, with quarterly active users down 15% year-over-year (YOY) but it is slightly up quarter over quarter (QOQ). When it comes to paying users, that number is down 39% YOY and down QOQ.
Shopee and Sea Money are still growing fast but are also unprofitable. This is why Garena's continued profitability is extremely important.
Total gross profits in Q2 grew 17% year over year to $1.1 billion, but it's down QOQ from $1.2 billion.
Net loss increased to $931.2 million from $433.7 million in the prior-year quarter.
The company previously guided for full-year GAAP revenue for e-commerce to grow 71.8% at the midpoint but has now removed that guidance due to the ever-changing macro environment.
