of 3.1%, hence adj. EBITDA loss of US$428mn came in above GSE of US$360mn.
n Management comments:
o Expansion into new segment and geography: Management remains
reluctant to give away details regarding their expansion in LatAm and entry
into the food delivery business in Indonesia though they see food-delivery
business as a category offering additional value-added to its users.
§ For LatAm ecommerce, while maintaining that it’s very preliminary,
management is encouraged by the traction so far and is optimistic that
the opportunity could be on par with the ASEAN markets. Based on
estimates of our Brazil consumer/internet analyst, Irma Sgarz, Brazil and
Mexico’s ecommerce market size is US$42bn in 2020 and will grow to
US$79bn by 2024.
§ MELI (covered by Irma) is market leader with 32% market share in
Brazil and c.25% share in Mexico. MELI is strong in 1) its breadth and
depth of assortment 2) logistics capabilities (free shipping policies &
For the exclusive use of DANIEL.TU@VIPASSETASIA.COM

shipping solutions across in-house cross-docking, fulfillment and


external drop-shipping) and 3) payments (payment processing and
financing options for merchants and consumers).
§ However, MELI is currently charging relatively high take rates (albeit in
line with most large competitors), so small and less structured vendors
that work with a relatively tight P&L could potentially be attracted by
other platforms coming in with aggressive low take-rates (which seems
to be Shopee’s approach - Shopee currently charges 5% for local BZ
sellers). MELI also has no fresh grocery or restaurant delivery business
yet.
§ MELI’s customer acquisition and moat is built through its ecommerce
and payments offering, and MELI, as well as other Brazilian ecommerce

d40b35aa90794d15830bee6881dcb9ef
companies, is relatively early stage in social ecommerce (mostly limited
to Live shopping events). Shopee may look to leverage the success that
it has had on the gaming side in both Brazil and Mexico to lower CAC
for its ecommerce business. Hence, we believe that Shopee may try to
tackle the LatAm market from a lower-end segment through mostly
unbranded, easy to ship and lower value items to avoid frontal
competition with the market’s existing players.
§ For food delivery, Momentum Works estimates that Southeast Asia
total food delivery GMV is US$11.9bn in 2020 with Indonesia leading
the contribution of US$3.7bn. Sea limited is not new to the market as
it’s currently a market leader in Vietnam through its entity called Now.
However, Sea is now looking to enter into the more competitive,
Indonesian market.
o Shopee is the top ranking e-commerce platform by MAU, total time spent
in app on Android and downloads. In Indonesia, Shopee averages 4.7mn
orders per day, an 27% qoq improvement.

4 March 2021 3
Goldman Sachs Sea Ltd. (SE)

o Marketplace take rates reach new highs at 6.40%. As per management, the
increase in the take rate has been across markets, driven by high-margin
revenue streams e.g. advertisement, transaction-based fees. Shopee has also
benefited from favorable GMV mix change, to more B2C/cross border.
o Sales and marketing as % of GMV increased qoq to 3.7% from 3.3%, with
cash burn per order largely flat qoq. Fourth quarter is seasonally a competitive
quarter as the platforms attempt to capture buyers during shopping seasons.
Shopee lowered the minimum basket size in 4Q20 to incentivize people to
make more purchases and noted that shipping subsidies are increasingly
subsidized by sellers (through FSS program) and 3PL logistics rebate. Sea
group other operating income, due to rebates from e-commerce related
logistics services provided by 3PL, increased to US$72.7mn in 4Q20 from
US$59.0mn / 6.0mn in 3Q20/4Q19.
o FY21 guidance suggests a strong year ahead; GAAP revenue is
US$4.5-4.7bn which translates to 108-117% yoy growth, 5% ahead of Visible
For the exclusive use of DANIEL.TU@VIPASSETASIA.COM

Alpha Consensus Data of US$4.4bn. We forecast Shopee will grow GMV at


65% yoy, while the market place take rate rises to 7.25% from 5.4% in 2020.
n Our View: Strong GMV and take rate trends suggest further market share gains and
improving quality of GMV mix in 4Q20. EBITDA loss was however larger than
expected, mainly because Shopee continues to target market share wins and
maintain sales and marketing (as a ratio over GMV).

Gaming (Garena)
n Positives: Bookings were US$1.0bn, +111% yoy/+7% qoq, driven by strong QAUs
(+72%/+7% yoy/qoq) of 611mn along with expansion of pay ratio (+257 / + 56 bps
yoy/qoq). EBITDA margins beat our expectation at 65.5% vs GSe of 60.6%.
n Negatives: QARPPU decreased slightly qoq to US$13.9 vs US$14.5/14.4 for
3Q20/4Q19.
n Management comments and updates:
o Free Fire: Stayed as the top grossing game in LATAM/ASEAN in the quarter

d40b35aa90794d15830bee6881dcb9ef
and is the most downloaded mobile game globally in 2020. Free Fire is now
also the highest grossing mobile game in India for 4Q20 and FY20 as well.
Management expects user growth will continue around the region as Free
Fire has emerged as a global franchise, now the #1 grossing US mobile game
on playstore. In several large markets where traction has been strong, such as
Indonesia and India, user penetration remains relatively low.
o New games: Management mentioned that Garena has been testing many
ideas and prototypes and will continue to also diversify its pipeline to include
new genre. For its development capability, they believe they are in a good
position to attract talent from all over the world.
o EBITDA Margins: Garena reported a strong margin of 65.5% which
management attributed to Free Fire (self developed game so they don’t have
royalty fees) taking larger share of revenues. However, in the longer run,
management said we will see more diversification of revenue from both
self-developed and publishing games.
o 2021 guidance: Management alluded to another strong year of growth for

4 March 2021 5
Goldman Sachs Sea Ltd. (SE)

Garena. The guidance is largely based on current games (eg. Free Fire, AOV)
growth and also games in pipeline (eg. Dauntless). Garena’s guidance
currently presents upside risks to street; +2-7% above Visible Alpha
Consensus Data. We also note that Sea group has traditionally provided very
conservative guidance where actual results came in 35% to 60% ahead of
guidance in the last 2 years.
n Our view: Revenues is largely in-line but Garena beat significantly on margins. We
raised Garena FY21E revenue by 8% based on trends of key games remaining
strong and together with upbeat guidance

Digital Financial Services (SeaMoney)


SeaMoney reported a revenue of US$61mn, a 5.5X increase from US$11mn in FY20. Its
mobile wallet TPV exceeded US$7.8bn for FY20 with quarterly paying users surpassing
23.2mn. Sea also started disclosing its Loans receivable of US$403mn for 2020.
Management stated that they adopt a very long run view towards building this segment

d40b35aa90794d15830bee6881dcb9ef
and will focus on growing the underlying foundation of the digital financial business.
After that, they will continue to roll out other ancillary services such as lending, wealth
management or insurance. Management believes that opportunity in SeaMoney is
bigger than at Shopee itself. ShopeePay is already the no.1 player in Indonesia and
management also mentioned that they are within top 2 in many markets.

Sea also founded Sea Capital after acquiring 100% of Composite Capital, investment
fund founded by David Ma. They believe that it is important for a global internet
company to have this capability eg. Tencent. SeaCapital will look at opportunities
globally. We believe that this will help Sea group solidify its long term growth potential.

What to do with the stock


Based on 4Q20 results, guidance and latest data, we made changes to our FY21-23E
forecast details in Exhibit 8. We raised gaming bookings by 8-9% to factor in better than
expected guidance and raised its EBITDA margins by 244-271bps to factor in better than
expected margins. For e-commerce segment, we make small changes to GMV but
lower its marketplace take-rate given the miss in 4Q20. Reflecting our estimate

4 March 2021 6
Goldman Sachs Sea Ltd. (SE)

changes, we also raise our 12-m SOTP-based TP (Exhibit 6) to US$330, from US$300
prior. We changed DFS base year to FY25E from FY22E prior to factor in its long term
strategy.

Maintain Buy (on Conviction List) as we view Sea as a key winner in the fast-growing
ASEAN/Taiwan gaming, ecommerce and payments markets, and see upside from its
successful moves into LATAM and India. Indeed, we see the company transforming into
a global EM internet play, competing in a much larger TAM.

Sea’s competitive advantages: 1) Leadership position in ecommerce, while gaining


momentum in B2C/cross-border, leveraging the highest number of active users; 2)
Strong content/games IP support from key shareholder Tencent (25.6%). As a
Singapore-based company, Sea remains Tencent’s gateway to ASEAN/Taiwan, and
potentially other emerging markets; 3) Increasing games development capabilities,
through its own studio (500+ developers) and/or from acquiring other studios, and
strong eSports and community management skills; 4) a payments business
well-integrated with ecommerce, leveraging its success.
For the exclusive use of DANIEL.TU@VIPASSETASIA.COM

Key risks: 1) Competition from global peers; 2) macroeconomic and geopolitical risks
and exchange rate volatility; 3) execution in new markets e.g. LATAM/India; 4) inability
to derive synergies from all three businesses.

Disclosure Appendix
Reg AC
I, Piyush Mubayi, hereby certify that all of the views expressed in this report accurately reflect my personal views about the subject company or
companies and its or their securities. I also certify that no part of my compensation was, is or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific
recommendations or views expressed in this report.
Unless otherwise stated, the individuals listed on the cover page of this report are analysts in Goldman Sachs’ Global Investment Research division.

GS Factor Profile
The Goldman Sachs Factor Profile provides investment context for a stock by comparing key attributes to the market (i.e. our coverage universe) and its
sector peers. The four key attributes depicted are: Growth, Financial Returns, Multiple (e.g. valuation) and Integrated (a composite of Growth, Financial
Returns and Multiple). Growth, Financial Returns and Multiple are calculated by using normalized ranks for specific metrics for each stock. The
normalized ranks for the metrics are then averaged and converted into percentiles for the relevant attribute. The precise calculation of each metric may
vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region, but the standard approach is as follows:
Growth is based on a stock’s forward-looking sales growth, EBITDA growth and EPS growth (for financial stocks, only EPS and sales growth), with a
higher percentile indicating a higher growth company. Financial Returns is based on a stock’s forward-looking ROE, ROCE and CROCI (for financial
stocks, only ROE), with a higher percentile indicating a company with higher financial returns. Multiple is based on a stock’s forward-looking P/E, P/B,
price/dividend (P/D), EV/EBITDA, EV/FCF and EV/Debt Adjusted Cash Flow (DACF) (for financial stocks, only P/E, P/B and P/D), with a higher percentile
indicating a stock trading at a higher multiple. The Integrated percentile is calculated as the average of the Growth percentile, Financial Returns
percentile and (100% - Multiple percentile).
Financial Returns and Multiple use the Goldman Sachs analyst forecasts at the fiscal year-end at least three quarters in the future. Growth uses inputs
for the fiscal year at least seven quarters in the future compared with the year at least three quarters in the future (on a per-share basis for all metrics).
For the exclusive use of DANIEL.TU@VIPASSETASIA.COM

For a more detailed description of how we calculate the GS Factor Profile, please contact your GS representative.

M&A Rank
Across our global coverage, we examine stocks using an M&A framework, considering both qualitative factors and quantitative factors (which may vary
across sectors and regions) to incorporate the potential that certain companies could be acquired. We then assign a M&A rank as a means of scoring
companies under our rated coverage from 1 to 3, with 1 representing high (30%-50%) probability of the company becoming an acquisition target, 2
representing medium (15%-30%) probability and 3 representing low (0%-15%) probability. For companies ranked 1 or 2, in line with our standard
departmental guidelines we incorporate an M&A component into our target price. M&A rank of 3 is considered immaterial and therefore does not
factor into our price target, and may or may not be discussed in research.

Quantum
Quantum is Goldman Sachs’ proprietary database providing access to detailed financial statement histories, forecasts and ratios. It can be used for
in-depth analysis of a single company, or to make comparisons between companies in different sectors and markets.

Ratings, coverage universe and related definitions


Buy (B), Neutral (N), Sell (S) -Analysts recommend stocks as Buys or Sells for inclusion on various regional Investment Lists. Being assigned a Buy or
Sell on an Investment List is determined by a stock’s total return potential relative to its coverage universe. Any stock not assigned as a Buy or a Sell on
an Investment List with an active rating (i.e., a stock that is not Rating Suspended, Not Rated, Coverage Suspended or Not Covered), is deemed
Neutral. Each region’s Investment Review Committee manages Regional Conviction lists, which represent investment recommendations focused on
the size of the total return potential and/or the likelihood of the realization of the return across their respective areas of coverage. The addition or
removal of stocks from such Conviction lists do not represent a change in the analysts’ investment rating for such stocks.
For the exclusive use of DANIEL.TU@VIPASSETASIA.COM

Total return potential represents the upside or downside differential between the current share price and the price target, including all paid or
anticipated dividends, expected during the time horizon associated with the price target. Price targets are required for all covered stocks. The total
return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership.
Coverage Universe: A list of all stocks in each coverage universe is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage universe at
https://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html.
Not Rated (NR). The investment rating and target price have been removed pursuant to Goldman Sachs policy when Goldman Sachs is acting in an
advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving this company and in certain other circumstances. Rating Suspended (RS). Goldman
Sachs Research has suspended the investment rating and price target for this stock, because there is not a sufficient fundamental basis for
determining, or there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints around publishing, an investment rating or target. The previous investment rating and
price target, if any, are no longer in effect for this stock and should not be relied upon. Coverage Suspended (CS). Goldman Sachs has suspended
coverage of this company. Not Covered (NC). Goldman Sachs does not cover this company. Not Available or Not Applicable (NA). The information
is not available for display or is not applicable. Not Meaningful (NM). The information is not meaningful and is therefore excluded.
