Total GAAP revenue for the quarter was reported at $4.3 billion, marking a 30.8% increase year-on-year. This growth was driven by significant contributions from its core businesses: e-commerce, digital financial services, and digital entertainment.</p> 
<p>The e-commerce segment, represented by Shopee, saw its GAAP revenue rise by 42.6% to $3.2 billion, fueled by a 25.2% increase in gross merchandise volume (GMV) to $25.1 billion. Shopee achieved positive adjusted EBITDA in both Asia and Brazil, a notable turnaround from a loss of $346.5 million in the same quarter last year. This achievement underscores the platform’s operational efficiency and market penetration.</p> 
<p>SeaMoney, the digital financial services arm, reported a 38% increase in GAAP revenue to $615.7 million. The segment’s loan book expanded by over 70% year-on-year, maintaining a stable non-performing loan ratio of 1.2%. Meanwhile, Garena, the digital entertainment division, recorded bookings of $556.5 million, up 24.3% year-on-year, despite a decline in GAAP revenue due to deferred revenue recognition.</p>

<p>The digital financial services segment also outperformed, with revenue growth driven by the expansion of consumer and SME credit offerings. The company’s strategic focus on enhancing its digital financial infrastructure and product offerings has paid off, contributing to the overall financial outperformance.
