• In Q1-2024, revenue was down 55% YoY, missing our estimate by 7% due to unit sales being 12% lower than expected. Despite lower revenue, EBITDA and EPS remained negative but showed improvement, significantly surpassing our estimates due to higher gross margins.
  • Revenue declined due to no new product launches, and the company halting production of several low-margin products. This strategic move paid off as gross profit for self-branded units increased by 33% YoY, despite a 36% YoY decrease in revenue. Gross margins of self-branded units were up 21 pp to 40%, beating our estimate by 2 pp. Operating expenses were down 14% YoY, and in line with our estimate.
  • In Q1, Zepp maintained its spot as the sixth-largest player in the global smartwatch market by revenue, trailing Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Garmin (NYSE: GRMN), Samsung (KOSE: A005930), Huawei, and Fitbit (Google/NASDAQ: GOOGL).
