What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1Shopee relies on its own delivery capabilities and third-party logistics providers to get orders to buyers, including in markets with difficult terrain and limited infrastructure.
2Monee needs licenses, approvals or local partners to provide financial services in the countries where it operates.
3Garena depends on Free Fire and a limited number of other games for a significant portion of its digital entertainment revenue and gross profit.
4Garena also relies on third-party game developers for some games and on app stores and payment providers to distribute games and process purchases.
5Sea relies on data centers, cloud services, telecommunications networks and other technology infrastructure to run its services.

What could go wrong

1Delivery delays, service failures or higher fulfillment costs could harm Shopee's buyer experience and its ability to serve sellers, especially in markets with difficult geography.
2Monee borrowers may not repay their loans; inaccurate credit-loss estimates or unsuccessful collection efforts could result in losses.
3Garena depends significantly on a limited number of games, including Free Fire; falling player engagement or problems refreshing game content could reduce game revenue.
