Fourth Quarter 2023 Operating Highlights
IoT PaaS customers1 for the fourth quarter of 2023 were approximately 2,200 (4Q2022: approximately 2,400). Total customers for the fourth quarter of 2023 were approximately 3,200 (4Q2022: approximately 3,400). The Company’s implementation of key-account strategy has enabled it to be more focused on serving strategic customers.
Premium IoT PaaS customers2 for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2023 were 265 (4Q2022: 263). In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company’s premium IoT PaaS customers contributed approximately 82.7% of its IoT PaaS revenue (4Q2022: approximately 77.0%).
Dollar-based net expansion rate (“DBNER”)3 of IoT PaaS for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2023 was 103% (4Q2022: 51%).
Registered IoT device and software developers were approximately 993,000 as of December 31, 2023, up 40.3% from approximately 708,000 developers as of December 31, 2022.
1. The Company defines an IoT PaaS customer for a given period as a customer who has directly placed orders for IoT PaaS with the Company during that period.
2. The Company defines a premium IoT PaaS customer as a customer as of a given date that contributed more than US$100,000 of IoT PaaS revenue during the immediately preceding 12-month period.
3. The Company calculates DBNER of IoT PaaS for a trailing 12-month period by first identifying all customers in the prior 12-month period (i.e., those have placed at least one order for IoT PaaS during that period), and then calculating the quotient from dividing the IoT PaaS revenue generated from such customers in the current trailing 12-month period by the IoT PaaS revenue generated from the same Company of customers in the prior 12-month period. The Company’s DBNER may change from period to period, due to a combination of various factors, including changes in the customers’ purchase cycles and amounts and the Company’s customer mix, among other things. DBNER indicates the Company’s ability to expand customer use of the Tuya platform over time and generate revenue growth from existing customers.
Mr. Xueji (Jerry) Wang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tuya, commented, “In the fourth quarter of 2023, we continued to execute our proven development strategies of focusing on key account customers and enhancing our product capabilities to boost our value proposition, while also essentially completing our organization adjustment. These combined efforts enabled us to conclude the year with strong sequential growth momentum. Notably, we achieved a 42.2% year-over-year revenue increase, reaching approximately $64.4 million in the quarter, alongside a record-high blended gross margin of 47.3%. These results reflect the substantial value of our platform, products, and services offer to our customers, affirming our confidence in Tuya’s resilience and its capability to navigate industry cycles with improved operational leverage and financial performance.”
Ms. Yao (Jessie) Liu, Director and Chief Financial Officer of Tuya, added, “The fourth quarter marked our transition from recovery to growth, efficiency enhancements, and margin expansion. During the quarter, all three business sectors recorded robust revenue growth, and their margins either improved or remained steady, a testament to the effectiveness of our product focus and enrichment strategy. Our strategic commitment to cost management and operational efficiency, coupled with the steady growth of gross profits, resulted in continued record-high non-GAAP net profits and positive net operating cashflow. As we advance into 2024, we are confident that Tuya’s solid financial position and momentum will sustain our business expansion and product profitability.”
Fourth Quarter 2023 Unaudited Financial Results
REVENUE
Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 42.2% to US$64.4 million from US$45.3 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the increase in IoT PaaS revenue, SaaS and others revenue and smart device distribution revenue.
IoT PaaS revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 44.6% to US$47.2 million from US$32.6 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the relief of downstream inventory backlog and a global economic improvement compared with the same period of 2022, along with the effective customer-focus and product-enhancement strategies the Company adopted to navigate through the macroeconomic headwinds. Correspondingly, the Company’s DBNER of IoT PaaS for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2023 increased to 103% from 51% for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2022.
SaaS and others revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 19.3% to US$9.5 million from US$7.9 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to an increase in revenue from cloud software products. The Company remained committed to offering value-added services and a diverse range of software products with compelling value propositions to its customers.
Smart device distribution revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 64.6% to US$7.8 million from US$4.7 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to an increase in revenue from smart device solutions and the variations in the timing and volume of customer demands and purchases.
COST OF REVENUE
Cost of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 35.3% to US$33.9 million from US$25.1 million in the same period of 2022, generally in line with the increase in the Company’s total revenue.
GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS MARGIN
Total gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 50.9% to US$30.5 million from US$20.2 million in the same period of 2022 and gross margin increased to 47.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023 from 44.6% in the same period of 2022.
IoT PaaS gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 44.8%, compared to 41.5% in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the changes in product mix, enhancement in product value, and the decrease in provision recorded for certain slow-moving IoT chips and raw materials compared to the fourth quarter of last year.
SaaS and others gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 74.2%, which remained relatively stable, compared to 75.2% in the same period of 2022.
Smart device distribution gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 29.7%, compared to 14.6% in the same period of 2022, primarily due to higher-value product solutions we provided to our customers during the fourth quarter of 2023.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased by 2.0% to US$54.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from US$53.0 million in the same period of 2022.
Non-GAAP operating expenses, defined as operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses and credit loss of long-term investments, decreased by 13.5% to US$30.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from US$35.5 million in the same period of 2022. Share-based compensation expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$15.9 million, compared to US$17.5 million in the same period of 2022. Credit loss of long-term investments was US$7.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to nil in the same period of 2022.
Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$22.8 million, down 17.9% from US$27.8 million in the same period of 2022, primarily because of the strategic streamlining of the Company’s research and development team and operations. During this quarter, average salaried employee headcount of the Company’s research and development team was down approximately 21.9% year over year, compared to the same quarter in last year. Non-GAAP adjusted research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$19.4 million, compared to US$23.8 million in the same period of 2022.
Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$10.9 million, down 2.4% from US$11.2 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the strategic streamlining of the Company’s sales and marketing team, partially offset by increased spending in marketing events as the revenue returned to a year-over-year growth trajectory since the third quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$9.5 million, compared to US$9.6 million in the same period of 2022.
General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$23.8 million, up 46.8% compared to US$16.2 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the credit loss of US$7.4 million of long-term investments. Non-GAAP adjusted general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were US$5.3 million, compared to US$4.3 million in the same period of 2022.
Other operating income, net in the fourth quarter of 2023 was US$3.4 million, primarily due to the receipt of software value-added tax refunds and various general subsidies for enterprises.
LOSS FROM OPERATIONS AND OPERATING MARGIN
Loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2023 narrowed by 28.0% to US$23.6 million from US$32.8 million in the same period of 2022. Non-GAAP loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2023 narrowed by 98.3% to US$0.3 million from US$15.3 million in the same period of 2022.
Operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was negative 36.7%, improved by 35.8 percentage points from negative 72.5% in the same period of 2022. Non-GAAP operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was negative 0.4%, improved by 33.4 percentage points from negative 33.8% in the same period of 2022.
NET LOSS/PROFIT AND NET MARGIN
Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2023 narrowed by 52.4% to US$10.8 million from US$22.7 million in the same period of 2022. The difference between loss from operations and net loss in the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily because of a US$13.1 million interest income achieved mainly due to well implemented treasury strategies on the Company’s cash and bank time deposits recorded as short-term and long-term investments.
The Company had a non-GAAP net profit of US$12.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of US$5.2 million in the same period of 2022, demonstrating the Company’s ability to sustain profitability on a non-GAAP basis.
Net margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was negative 16.8%, improving by 33.4 percentage points from negative 50.2% in the same period of 2022. Non-GAAP net margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 19.5%, improving by 31.0 percentage points from negative 11.5% in the same period of 2022.
BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS/PROFIT PER ADS
Basic and diluted net loss per ADS was US$0.02 in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to US$0.04 in the same period of 2022. Each ADS represents one Class A ordinary share.
Non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per ADS was US$0.02 in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss of US$0.01 in the same period of 2022.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, TIME DEPOSITS AND U.S. TREASURY SECURITIES RECORDED AS SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
Cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and U.S. treasury securities recorded as short-term and long-term investments were US$984.3 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to US$952.0 million as of December 31, 2022, which the Company believes is sufficient to meet its current liquidity and working capital needs.
NET CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash generated from operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2023 was US$31.8 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities US$0.1 million in the same period of 2022. The net cash generated from operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2023 improved mainly due to the increase in the Company’s revenue, and the decrease in operating expenses, particularly employee-related costs, and working capital changes in the ordinary course of business.
For further information on non-GAAP financial measures presented above, see the section headed “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Business Outlook
In the fourth quarter of 2023, we continued to observe a moderately declining yet persisting overall inflation, which is expected to continually influence the discretionary consumer electronics spending. On the supply chain front, we expect downstream inventory levels to be normalizing ongoingly, providing downstream smart device manufacturers, brands, and retail channels with greater flexibility and resilience to adapt their operational and procurement plans as necessary. This, in turn, will revitalize their investment in smart business. Overall, discretionary consumer electronic spending alongside enterprise procurement are expected to prioritize cost-effectiveness, reflecting a balanced approach widely adopted in the current economic climate.
In response to this evolving market environment, the Company will remain committed to continuously iterating and improving its products and services, further enhancing software and hardware capabilities, expanding key customer base, investing in innovations and new opportunities, diversifying revenue streams, and further optimizing operating efficiency. At the same time, the Company understands that future trajectories may encounter challenges, including shifting consumer spending patterns, regional economic disparities, inventory management, foreign exchange rate volatility, and broader geopolitical uncertainties.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations (including non-GAAP operating margin), non-GAAP net (loss)/profit (including non-GAAP net margin), and non-GAAP basic and diluted net (loss)/profit per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company defines non-GAAP measures by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and credit-related impairment of long-term investments from the respective GAAP measures. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitates investors’ assessment of its operating performance.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of expenses that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation expenses and credit-related impairment of long-term investments have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Reconciliations of Tuya’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release.

KarbunWise Introduces Fast, Cost-Effective LCA Platform for the LEED v5 Era at Greenbuild 2026 in New York
Published
51 minutes agoon
October 23, 2026By
NEW YORK , Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As global property developers, architects, and manufacturers face rigorous new green building standards and cross-border carbon scrutiny, KarbunWise, an enterprise climate technology and advisory firm, announced its formal participation in the Greenbuild International Conference + Expo 2026 in New York City.
Exhibiting under this year’s Greenbuild theme, “Invest for Impact,” KarbunWise has launched a modern, cost-effective software to enable real estate developers, AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) firms, and industrial manufacturers to automate complex Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) with verifiable, audit-grade accuracy.
With the rollout of LEED v5, Whole-Building Life Cycle Assessments (WBLCA) and embodied carbon tracking have evolved from optional bonus credits into non-negotiable prerequisites. This is likely to scale the adoption of LCAs, and KarbunWise offers an alternative to legacy incumbent players that are expensive and not customer-centric. KarbunWise’s product translates Building Information Modeling (BIM) data and factory-floor inputs directly into submission-ready WBLCA models (aligned with MRp2 and MRc2 credits).
Representing KarbunWise at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center were the founders, Arjun Vijayaragavan and Divya Sukumar. “For years, carbon accounting and life cycle assessments were treated as passive, check-the-box exercises. Today, with LEED v5 mandating embodied carbon baselines and global supply chains enforcing strict transparency, carbon data has become commercial infrastructure. Bringing our platform to North America at Greenbuild marks a pivotal step in our mission to make sustainability data as trusted and audit-ready as financial data for 10,000 enterprises worldwide.” said Arjun Vijayaragavan, Founder & CEO of KarbunWise.
To accelerate adoption across US project teams, KarbunWise also announced a major Greenbuild show initiative: free first-year platform access for qualifying architecture firms, consultants, and developers visiting Booth #1044 during expo, backed by continuous 24/7 technical support from certified LCA practitioners.
Already trusted by more than 100 organisations across the UK, Middle East, and India, including listed conglomerates, leading bedding manufacturers, and global infrastructure contractors, KarbunWise’s platform connects over 200,000 verified LCA datapoints across international databases, including USLCI, Ecoinvent, and ÖKOBAUDAT.
About KarbunWise:
Founded in 2023, KarbunWise is an enterprise climate technology and advisory firm building the trust layer for global sustainability. The company combines an integrated, cloud-based software platform with deep consulting expertise to transform complex carbon and ESG data into audit-ready proof for regulators, enterprise buyers, and investors.

Curios Launches Video-on-Demand Tools for Filmmakers as Vimeo On Demand Shuts Down

The direct-to-fan marketplace gives independent filmmakers a new home to sell films, series, and memberships, with help migrating from Vimeo
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Curios, the direct-to-fan entertainment marketplace, has launched a full set of video-on-demand tools for independent filmmakers and video creators. The launch gives creators affected by the closure of Vimeo On Demand a new place to sell their work directly to audiences, keep their sales revenue, and hold on to the customer relationships they have spent years building.
Vimeo is phasing out its On Demand service in stages. New uploads were blocked on August 22, 2026, and new purchases and subscriptions stopped on September 21, 2026. Final seller payouts were processed on September 24, and the platform will shut down completely on November 20, 2026. On that date, all Vimeo On Demand storefronts and purchase pages go offline, and viewers lose access to the films and series they previously bought or rented.
For filmmakers, the impact is immediate. Sales have already stopped, so every week without a new storefront means lost revenue. And with Vimeo only allowing sellers to export buyers who opted in to updates, many creators risk losing touch with a large part of their audience.
“Every time a platform shuts down, creators get a painful reminder that they never really owned their audience,” said Grant Powell, founder of Curios. “Filmmakers on Vimeo On Demand did everything right, and they’re still losing their storefront. We launched Curios so that can’t happen. You sell directly, you keep your revenue, and every buyer’s contact details are yours to keep, whatever happens next.”
A complete home for independent film
Curios gives filmmakers flexible ways to sell, including full support for TVOD and SVOD, with possible plans for AVOD in the future. Creators can sell titles to own permanently (Electronic sell-through / EST), for one-time rental (Download-to-rent / DTR), offer pay-per-view (PPV) access for events and premieres, and run subscription memberships covering an entire catalog, a single series, or selected titles.
Pre-orders, timed releases, and limited quantities help build excitement around a launch. Bundles and deluxe editions, automated upsells and cross-sells, coupons, and an affiliate program help filmmakers grow each sale and reach new audiences. Free claims let creators give away trailers, extras, or short films in exchange for viewers’ email addresses.
Filmmakers decide whether each title is streaming-only or downloadable. Buyers watch in the Curios mobile app, where films and series sit alongside ebooks, audiobooks, and music. To help creators get started, Curios has also published pricing guidance for film, suggesting typical ranges of $9.99 to $29.99 for titles sold to own.
Better economics and full access to buyers
Curios takes no commission on sales, so creators keep their full sale price. They pay for platform access through a Curios subscription, with a free plan available and no credit card required to sign up. As merchant of record, Curios collects and files sales tax and VAT worldwide, removing a major administrative burden for independent creators.
Filmmakers on Curios receive the contact details of every buyer, along with sales, traffic, and viewing analytics, so they can see how audiences engage with their work and market future releases directly.
Moving from Vimeo On Demand in three steps
Curios has published an automatic importer, and a step-by-step migration guide for Vimeo On Demand sellers. Filmmakers simply connect with Vimeo account to Curios, then Curios automatically migrates their original files, trailers, extras, and artwork directly from Vimeo. Finally, they replace their old Vimeo On Demand links with a single Curios link and let their fans know where to find them.
Curios will also import a filmmaker’s existing Vimeo buyers who opted in to updates. Imported customers will find the films they already own waiting in their Curios library, ready to watch, so viewers who were about to lose access can keep enjoying the work they paid for. Customer lists from other platforms can be imported as well.
Curios is continuing to expand its video tools, with caption and subtitle uploads, region restrictions, country-specific pricing, and smart TV apps currently in development.
Filmmakers can create a free account and read the full migration guide at studio.curios.com.
About Curios
Curios is a direct-to-fan entertainment and content marketplace helping creators publish, promote, sell, and distribute their work directly to audiences. Built for authors, musicians, filmmakers, comedians, and creators of all kinds, Curios supports digital and physical formats in one place.
Creators keep 100% of every sale, retain full ownership of their work, and get direct access to customer data. As merchant of record, Curios handles sales tax, along with customer support, content delivery, fraud disputes, and fast payouts, giving creators the infrastructure to sell direct without having to build it themselves.

Award-winning media relations initiatives generated hundreds of news stories for clients
MONTCLAIR, N.J., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Violet PR, a national public relations agency specializing in economic development and place branding, has earned five awards from the Public Relations Society of America’s New Jersey Chapter (PRSA-NJ). Together, the campaigns generated more than 425 earned media placements in national, international, regional and niche outlets.
The winning programs ranged from launching a major fitness facility and promoting the growing film industry in New Jersey to showcasing Pittsburgh International Airport’s new terminal, navigating international trade uncertainty in Topeka, Kan., and positioning the Brooklyn Navy Yard as an innovation hub.
“These awards reflect the range of challenges our team helps clients navigate – including building support for emerging industries and elevating major infrastructure investments,” said April Mason, CEO and founder of Violet PR. “Whether we’re promoting a new airport terminal or helping a community navigate international trade uncertainty, our job is to uncover the stories that matter, connect them with influential audiences and deliver results that support our clients’ broader goals.”
For the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), Violet PR’s “Hollywood East: New Jersey Takes Center Stage” campaign earned PRSA-NJ recognition in the “Community Relations” category. Working with the New Jersey Motion Picture & Television Commission and NJEDA, the agency helped build support for the state’s expanding film and television industry by highlighting its economic impact, career opportunities and benefits for local businesses and communities. Over 10 months, the campaign generated 38 earned media placements and more than 336 million impressions.
Violet PR also earned an “Events” award for “Building More Than Muscle: Launching a New Jersey Success Story,” developed for Iron Culture’s new flagship gym in West Orange, N.J. The campaign promoted the grand opening of the $10 million fitness facility, bringing together elected officials, business leaders and community members while generating 45 earned media placements.
The Montclair, N.J.-headquartered agency also won a “Media Relations” award for its campaign, “Brooklyn Navy Yard: From Shipyard to Innovation Engine,” which spotlighted the historic waterfront campus’s transformation into a hub for advanced manufacturing, entrepreneurship and innovation. The campaign generated 85 earned media placements, reaching an audience of 662 million.
The agency’s national work was recognized as well. The “Ready for Takeoff: Commemorating Pittsburgh’s New Airport Opening (2025)” campaign for Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) earned an award in the “Public Affairs” category. Violet PR executed a strategic communications campaign surrounding the opening of PIT’s new terminal, securing more than 200 earned media placements across national news, business, travel and aviation outlets, with a combined audience reach exceeding 525 million.
In Topeka, Kan., Violet PR’s “The U.S. City Bridging Borders: How Topeka Tackled Tariffs” campaign was recognized in the “PR on a Shoestring Budget” category. As rising U.S.-Canada tariffs threatened up to 20% of local jobs, the agency transformed a complex international trade issue into a compelling story about the economic ties between Kansas and Canada. With a budget of just $10,000 over two months, the campaign secured 57 media placements, with an estimated reach of 224 million.
“What makes these awards especially meaningful is that they recognize five very different campaigns, each requiring a tailored strategy, creative thinking and close collaboration with our clients,” said Christina Forrest, vice president, Violet PR. “We take pride in developing strategic campaigns that deliver meaningful results for our clients, and we’re grateful to PRSA-NJ for the honor.”
The PRSA-NJ Pyramid Awards recognize excellence in public relations and communications, honoring the strategy, creativity and impact of agencies and in-house teams across New Jersey and beyond.
Violet PR continues to earn national recognition for its growth and economic development industry expertise. The agency ranked No. 96 on O’Dwyer’s 2026 list of independent public relations firms following 22.6% year-over-year growth in 2025 and has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list for three consecutive years. Violet PR opened its second office in New York City this year.
