Revenue climbed 38.2% year-on-year to $5.26 billion, missing the $5.64 billion consensus by 6.68%, while earnings per share of $0.65 came in well below the $0.88 estimate, a gap of 26.22%. The primary engine behind the top-line surge was Shopee, Sea's e-commerce arm, where gross merchandise value grew 28.2% to $29.80 billion and the segment swung from an adjusted EBITDA loss to a $227.69 million profit, marking a meaningful profitability inflection. Monee, the digital financial services unit, contributed further with revenue up 70.0% to $882.81 million, as the lending book expanded rapidly. Net income jumped to $414.20 million from $79.91 million a year ago. Looking ahead, management raised full-year Garena bookings guidance to more than 30% growth, signaling confidence that Sea can now pursue expansion while simultaneously building profitability across its markets.
