Published

on

MILPITAS, Calif., Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Zepp Health Corporation (“Zepp” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ZEPP) today reported revenues of US$42.5 million; a basic and diluted net loss per share of US$0.05; and a basic and diluted net loss per ADS of US$0.82 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024; adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share of US$0.05; and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ADS of US$0.78. Each ADS represents sixteen Class A ordinary shares.

Mr. Wang ‘Wayne’ Huang, Chairman and CEO of Zepp, commented, “I’m pleased to report that this quarter our Amazfit branded sales had a 10% quarter-over-quarter increase, the highest sequential growth we’ve achieved this year, overcoming the supply constraints of our newly launched products. This positive momentum demonstrates that the most challenging phase of our transformation is now behind us, and we are optimistic that this growth will continue into the fourth quarter as our new outdoor product, the T-Rex3 smartwatch, has received better than expected market feedback worldwide. It combines military-grade durability, cutting-edge outdoor features, and unparalleled battery life, making it the perfect companion for those seeking adventure in their everyday lives and becoming one of the most competitive smartwatch products in the sports and outdoor categories.”

Wang added, “Furthermore, introducing the Amazfit UP OWS (Open Wearable Stereo) earbuds has expanded our product ecosystem and enhanced the user experience allowing them to hear background sounds clearly while using UP earbuds for outdoor activities to enhance their safety. Additionally, we have made significant advancements in our software capabilities, with the latest updates on Zepp OS and the redesign of our Zepp App interface to enhance functionality and user engagement which received positive feedback from media and users widely. 

These developments reaffirm our commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of our customers. We are particularly proud to be named as the official wearable partner and timekeeper of HYROX, the World Series of Fitness Racing, reaching over 300,000 participants per season across EU and US regions. On the marketing front, we are expanding the size of our Amazfit Athletes, this quarter we newly partnered with Spain Padel Athlete Bea Gonzalez, American Hyrox Hunter and Meg and others. These developments reaffirm our commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of our customers. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our strategic direction. With a strong pipeline of new products, continued investments in R&D and marketing, and an unwavering focus on operational excellence, we are well-positioned to drive sustainable growth and create long-term value for our shareholders.”

Mr. Leon Deng, Zepp’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “In the third quarter, our financial results continued to demonstrate the effectiveness of our refined operational strategies and rigorous cost management. We reported the highest sequential revenue growth in the year, overcoming the supply constraints of our newly launched T-Rex 3 and achieved the highest gross margin in our company’s history, reflecting our ongoing improvements in product mix and operational efficiencies. While we maintained a consistent approach in aligning our operating expenses with strategic objectives, during this quarter, we frontloaded certain marketing expenditures, helping to build brand awareness and promote our sales in the long run. As a result, we reported a net loss, largely driven by cost coverage issues and negative foreign currency results, but with the successful new product launches, we are confident in the recovery of our profitability growth momentum. Furthermore, our cash balance remained at a similar level compared to the previous quarter, partially attributed to our tight working capital management. This achievement not only demonstrates our capability to adapt swiftly to fluctuating market demands but also positions us to reduce operational risks and enhance financial flexibility. Last but not the least, we will continue executing our share repurchase program to demonstrate our confidence on the company’s long-term strategy.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenues

Revenues for the third quarter of 2024 reached US$42.5 million, a decrease by 48.9% from the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the sales of Xiaomi wearable products, as well as the decrease in sales of self-branded products, as supply was constrained by the production capacity for new product launches and macroeconomic weakness. However, compared with the second quarter of 2024, revenue of self-branded products increased by 9.9%, which is the highest quarter-over-quarter increase in 2024, the increase was primarily driven by the market reception of our recent launches, especially the newly introduced Amazfit T-Rex 3, and our core products such as Balance, Active, have seen continued popularity and growing demand.

Total units shipped in the third quarter of 2024 was 0.7 million, compared with 2.8 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the third quarter of 2024 was 40.6%, compared to 33.9% in the same period of 2023. We reached another record-high quarterly gross margin since the third quarter of 2023, supported by the strong performance of our self-branded products and a more favourable product mix, with a higher proportion of new products and less clearance sales, which typically have lower margins. This was the sixth consecutive quarter of gross margin expansion.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were US$10.9 million, an increase by 4.8% year-over-year. This accounted for 25.6% of revenues, compared to 12.5% for the same period in 2023. The increase was a result from our investment in new technologies, including AI, to maintain our competitive edge against our peers. At the same time, we focused on refined research and development approaches, as we consistently evaluated resource efficiency to ensure maximum return on investment and productivity.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were US$11.9 million, an increase by 21.9% year-over-year. This accounted for 28.0% of revenues, compared to 11.7% for the same period in 2023.

The increase was primarily due to the launch of various marketing campaigns for our products, as well as the expansion of our Amazfit Athletes team by partnering with renowned athletes to build brand recognition. At the same time, we consistently pushed on retail profitability and channel mix improvement, which included meticulous refinement of our retail channels and strategic staffing arrangements across sales regions. We are committed to investing efficiently in marketing and branding to ensure our sustainable growth.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were US$7.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase by 5.4% year-over-year. This accounted for 16.5% of revenues, compared with 8.0% in the same period in 2023. The increase was largely attributable to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations loss was US$1.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared with fluctuations gain of US$0.7 in the same period of 2023. 

Operating Expenses 

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were US$29.8 million, an increase by 11.2% year-over-year. Adjusted operating expenses, which exclude share-based compensation, were US$29.1 million. The increase was primarily due to the launch of various marketing campaigns for our new products, as well as the expansion of our Amazfit Athletes team by partnering with renowned athletes to build brand recognition. We will maintain our cost-conscious approach in the upcoming quarters. Concurrently, we remain committed to investing in R&D and marketing activities to ensure our long-term competitiveness.

Operating Income/(Loss)

Operating loss for the third quarter of 2024 was US$12.5 million, compared to operating income of US$1.4 million for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted operating loss for the third quarter of 2024 was US$11.9 million, compared to adjusted operating income of US$3.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. The loss was mainly due to lower sales volume, which resulted in an inability to fully cover operating expenses.

Net Income/(Loss)

Net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the third quarter of 2024 was US$13.3 million, compared to net income of US$0.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, which excludes share-based compensation expenses attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, was US$12.6 million, compared to adjusted net income of US$2.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. Net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the third quarter of 2024 included a foreign exchanges loss of US$1.0 million, compared to a gain of US1.2 million and US$1.1 million in the first and second quarter of 2024, respectively. Net loss and adjusted net loss attributable to Zepp Health Corporation for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was US$38.9 million and US$35.0 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of US$127.7 million, which was in similar level compared with the second quarter of 2024, despite a loss position. This cash position provides a runway for the Company to invest and seize potential market opportunities.

The Company continued to manage its working capital and inventory efficiently and recorded inventory of US$76.6 million as of September 30, 2024 and maintained it with a relatively low level since June 30, 2019, representing an increase by 6.5% and a decrease by 29.0% compared with June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. We will continue to manage working capital tightly. Also, we anticipate further reductions in our debt level in the upcoming quarters.

Shares Outstanding

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a total of 234.0 million ordinary shares outstanding, representing the equivalent of 14.6 million ADSs assuming the conversion of all ordinary shares into ADSs.

The Company changed the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its Class A ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio”) from the previous ADS Ratio of one ADS representing four Class A ordinary shares to a new ADS Ratio of one ADS representing sixteen Class A ordinary shares. The change in the ADS Ratio took effect on September 16, 2024 (U.S. Eastern Time). All earnings per ADS figures in this announcement give effect to the foregoing ADS Ratio change.

Share Repurchase Program Update

The Company announced in its third quarter 2021 earnings release that the board had authorized a share repurchase program of up to US$20 million through November 2022. On November 21, 2022, the board authorized a 12-month extension of the Company’s share repurchase program. On November 20, 2023, the board further authorized the Company to extend its share repurchase program for another 12 months. On November 18, 2024, the board further authorized the Company to extend its share repurchase program for another 24 months. Pursuant to the extended share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its shares in the form of ADSs and/or ordinary shares through November 2026 with an aggregate value equal to the remaining balance under the share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had used US$14.5 million to repurchase approximately 1.7 million ADSs. The Company expects to fund the repurchases under the extended share repurchase program out of its existing cash balance.

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company’s management currently expects net revenues to be between US$55 million and US$70 million, representing 29% to 65% growth for revenue of self-branded products compared with third quarter of 2024.

This outlook is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary estimates of market, operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We use adjusted net income/(loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted operating expenses represent operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted operating income/(loss) represents operating income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted EBIT represents net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses, income tax (benefit)/expense, interest income and interest expense. Adjusted net income/(loss) represents net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses, and such adjustment has no impact on income tax. Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes share-based compensation expenses attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, and is used as the numerator in computation of adjusted net income/(loss) per share and per ADS attributable to Zepp Health Corporation.

We believe that adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net income/(loss) and net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation. We believe that adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to Zepp Health Corporation, should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income/(loss), basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share and per ADS attributable to Zepp Health Corporation or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

PointsKash Demonstrates How Businesses Can Build on Bitcoin Without Burdening the Blockchain

Published

on

By

As industry debate surrounding Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP-110) intensifies, PointsKash unveils an architecture designed to work regardless of the proposal’s outcome.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the global Bitcoin community debates Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110 (BIP-110) and the future of data stored on the Bitcoin blockchain, PointsKash, Inc. today announced that its next-generation kiosk infrastructure was intentionally designed to operate efficiently under any outcome of the proposal.

Rather than storing operational data directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, PointsKash utilizes a layered architecture that combines Bitcoin‘s unmatched security with modern decentralized communications technology. Every transaction, machine event, system update, and operational record generated across the PointsKash network is cryptographically verified, securely maintained off-chain, and anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain through a single immutable cryptographic proof.

This approach allows thousands of operational events to be permanently verified while utilizing only a minimal amount of blockchain data.

As discussion surrounding BIP-110 has intensified across the digital asset industry, PointsKash believes the debate does not require choosing between innovation and responsible blockchain stewardship.

“The industry has been debating whether businesses can build meaningful applications on Bitcoin without unnecessarily consuming blockchain space,” said Michael Herron, Chief Executive Officer of PointsKash. “We believe we’ve demonstrated that the answer is yes. Bitcoin provides the world’s most trusted immutable timestamp and security layer, while higher-volume operational data belongs on technologies specifically designed to manage it. By combining both, we’ve built an architecture that is scalable, transparent, and future-ready regardless of how the BIP-110 discussion ultimately evolves.”

The company’s infrastructure assigns every kiosk its own unique cryptographic identity, allowing each machine to securely authenticate every transaction and operational event. Those records are then independently verifiable through cryptographic proofs while remaining resistant to alteration or manipulation—even by PointsKash itself.

According to the company, this architecture delivers several significant advantages:

Mathematically verifiable transaction records for regulators, banking partners, auditors, and enterprise customers.Improved network reliability, allowing kiosks to continue operating during temporary connectivity interruptions without losing transaction history.Enhanced cybersecurity, with every machine maintaining its own authenticated identity and secure communications.A scalable blockchain architecture that minimizes on-chain data while preserving complete auditability.

Bitcoin was created to provide trust, security, and permanence—not to become a storage system for every piece of application data,” Herron added. “Our philosophy has always been simple: use Bitcoin for what it does better than anyone else—creating immutable proof that records have never been altered—and leverage modern decentralized technologies for everything else. We believe that’s the future of enterprise blockchain infrastructure.”

PointsKash believes this architecture positions the company among a new generation of fintech innovators utilizing Bitcoin as a secure trust layer while developing scalable financial applications for enterprise deployment.

The technology also establishes the foundation for future blockchain-based financial products currently under development, including enhanced digital audit capabilities, verifiable financial records, enterprise licensing opportunities, and next-generation digital asset infrastructure.

As the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to mature, PointsKash believes its technology demonstrates that responsible innovation and blockchain scalability can successfully coexist—providing enterprise organizations with the confidence to build on Bitcoin without contributing unnecessary data to the network.

About PointsKash, Inc.

PointsKash, Inc. is a financial technology company developing an integrated ecosystem of AI-enabled self-service financial centers, digital banking, digital payment solutions, cryptocurrency services, loyalty rewards, enterprise merchant technologies, and mobile financial applications.

As ADA Anniversary Approaches, University of Phoenix Survey Highlights AI’s Potential to Advance Accessibility in Work and Learning

Published

on

By

Survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of University of Phoenix finds among those already using AI in the workplace, 60% say AI has improved their knowledge of and ability to use accessibility standards and guidelines.

PHOENIX, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As artificial intelligence becomes part of how people work, learn and solve problems, a new University of Phoenix survey conducted by The Harris Poll finds that recent working learners see meaningful opportunities for AI to support accessibility. The survey was designed to understand the impact of AI in the workplace and learning environments on accessibility, defined as ensuring digital content, tools and resources, including AI tools and output, are usable by people with different abilities through inclusive design, use of assistive technology or conformance with accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The findings are being released ahead of the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26.

The survey, conducted among 1,019 U.S. employed adults who completed a professionally presented training or school course in the past 12 months (“recent working learners”), found that, among workers already using AI in the workplace, 3 in 5 (60%) say AI has improved their knowledge of and ability to use accessibility standards and guidelines, including nearly 1 in 5 (19%) who report significant improvement. 

While the findings point to optimism about AI’s accessibility potential, they also reveal an opportunity for clearer organizational guidance: 45% of respondents say accessibility is absent from, unclear in, or they are uncertain whether it is covered by their workplace AI policies.

“The reality is that accessibility benefits everyone,” shares Kelly Hermann, Vice President of Accessibility and Student Affairs at University of Phoenix. “If accessibility is built in from the beginning, organizations are more likely to create AI-enabled environments that are universally usable. Clearer content, better summaries, accurate captions, and multiple formats can help workers and learners with disabilities, but they also help busy adults, multilingual learners, mobile users, and anyone trying to absorb information quickly.”

Key findings from the survey include:

Workers see AI’s accessibility potential: 89% of recent working learners identify workflows that could benefit from AI and accessibility tools, especially creating accessible documents, presentations, websites or learning materials (38%), presenting information in different formats such as plain language, audio, summaries or translations (33%), and training employees or learners on accessibility practices (30%).AI may help build accessibility awareness: Among those already using AI in the workplace, 60% say AI has improved their knowledge of and ability to use accessibility standards and guidelines.Accessibility is not always clear in workplace AI policies: 45% of recent working learners say accessibility is absent from, unclear in, or they are uncertain whether it is covered by their workplace AI policies.AI tools may not yet fully support different access needs: Among those who use workplace AI tools, only about a quarter of survey respondents (27%) say AI tools available through their workplace or professional learning environment support people with disabilities very well.Human oversight remains important: 36% of recent working learners say human review for important decisions or high-impact work should be part of responsible AI use at work or school.Workers also recognize how AI and accessibility can have an impact on their own career journey: 90% of recent working learners identify AI and accessibility skills that would be valuable in their current or desired career field, including 45% who see value in understanding when AI-generated content needs human review.

Why accessibility is essential to responsible AI adoption

As AI tools are used to draft documents, summarize information, generate captions and transcripts, create image descriptions, support learning and assist with workplace tasks, accessibility becomes central to responsible use. Poorly implemented AI can also create or amplify barriers, including inaccessible content, inaccurate summaries, biased outputs and tools that do not work effectively with assistive technologies.

“Responsible AI is not only about productivity,” Hermann said. “It is about whether the technology works for the people who need to use it. AI can help create more accessible materials and more flexible ways to engage with information, but it still requires clear policies, practical training and human judgment to make sure the outputs are accurate, applicable and usable.”

What the findings mean for employers and educators

The survey suggests that organizations have an opportunity to align AI adoption with supportive design, accessibility practices and workforce training. Employers and educators can take immediate steps by:

Naming accessibility directly in AI policies and guidance.Choosing AI tools with accessibility and assistive technology compatibility in mind.Training workers and learners to create, check and improve accessible AI-generated content.Making support pathways clear for people who experience barriers using AI tools.Keeping human review in place for important decisions, high-impact work and accessibility-sensitive outputs.

The survey also found workers want practical AI training. The most helpful resources identified by recent working learners include real-world examples from their field or industry (36%), hands-on practice using realistic workplace scenarios (34%) and step-by-step demonstrations of common tasks (33%).

Accessibility insights from University of Phoenix

Hermann shared the survey findings ahead of the ADA anniversary in recent media interviews. Hermann oversees the University’s accessibility initiative, including evaluation and remediation of curricular resources, the Center for Access, Resources, Engagement and Support Services (CARES), and the Office of Collaborative Learning and Educational Engagement. Her work focuses on fostering accessible and welcoming educational environments for students, faculty and staff.

Hermann’s office at University of Phoenix also convenes accessibility conversations through initiatives such as Access Amplified™, a free, annual virtual event focused on advancing digital accessibility in web development. The event brings together engineers, developers, designers, content authors and digital strategists for practical strategies and human-centered conversations that address the gap between coding practices and how users with assistive technology experience the web.

About the survey

The survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of University of Phoenix from June 22–29, 2026, among 1,019 employed adults ages 18 and older who have taken a professionally presented training or a school course in the past 12 months, referred to as “recent working learners.” Data were weighted where necessary by age, gender, race/ethnicity, region, education, employment, marital status, household size, household income and smoking status to bring them in line with their actual proportions in the population.

Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in surveys. The sampling precision of Harris online polls is measured by using a Bayesian credible interval. For this study, the sample data is accurate to within +/- 3.8 percentage points using a 95% confidence level. This credible interval will be wider among subsets of the surveyed population of interest.
