At the same time, Shopee's App ranks first in terms of average monthly active users and total application time spent in Southeast Asia, and Brazil, and it is also 2022Q1 is the highest ranked application in the shopping category by download volume worldwide. It is never too surprised by Shopee's popularity. $Amazon.com(AMZN)$, $Shopify(SHOP)$, $MercadoLibre(MELI)$ presented pessimistic expectation of online e-commerce businees previously, which made investors sell out. the whole industry. Although Shopee's annual revenue guide has been tweaked from 8.9-9.1 billion US dollars to a wider 8.5-9.1 billion US dollars, Shopee and Amazon are not in same conditions.

EBITDA was $431 million, down 40% year-on-year, but exceeded the expected $420 million. The main factor is the self-developed global popular game "FreeFire", which is still the most downloaded mobile game in the world in Q1. India's ban did not have a great impact. Of course, although SEA's game business cannot always beats, there are still two problems: 1. whether the games hatching in studios can successfully be the next"FreeFire", 2. whether they can continue to attract users after pandemic? Digital financial services business highlights Revenue was US $236 million, up 360% year-on-year. Total mobile wallet payments reached US $5.1 billion, an increase of 48.5% over the same period of last year. Quarterly active activity reached 49 million, a year-on-year increase of 78%. Promotion in Indonesia is the most advanced, and Shopee Malaysia recently obtained the digital banking license, also, it is expected to be extended to the Philippines this year and further expand its market share in Brazil.

SEA can make up for the previous oversold in short term, but still difficult to change the long-term investors' rolling over of market style.
