The Internet company based in Singapore reported $0.78 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $0.99 by ($0.21), FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $8.58 billion for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $8.08 billion. SEA had a return on equity of 13.85% and a net margin of 5.89%.

• Shopee posted 23% GMV growth and 26% order growth, with adjusted EBITDA rising 45% to $269 million, its highest quarterly result. Sea reaffirmed its 2026 targets of around 25% GMV growth and $1 billion in adjusted EBITDA, while noting that investment continues to absorb some monetization gains.
• Monee’s loan book grew 60% to $12.6 billion, serving nearly 44 million active credit users, and Sea is considering a standalone listing in one to three years. Its 90-day NPL ratio was 1.3%, a modest increase that management attributed partly to market and product mix, prompting tighter underwriting in selected segments.
• Garena bookings increased 6% to $890 million and adjusted EBITDA rose 46% to $458 million, supported by Free Fire and Arena of Valor engagement.
• Sea Cloud is an early-stage AI initiative intended to sell the company’s internal capabilities to external organizations, but it has not secured enterprise contracts.
