Business Outlook
Based on recent trends, the overall operating environment for connected devices and intelligent solutions remains complex but is demonstrating greater stability compared with earlier in the year. Participants across the value chain – including manufacturers, brands, and channel partners – maintain a cautious approach to planning; however, we are observing a normalization in project execution and clearer demand visibility in several of our core categories.
At the same time, enterprises and consumers worldwide are accelerating their adoption of AI technologies and smart hardware. In the third quarter, Tuya continued to advance its AI and platform strategy by enhancing its AI-powered PaaS and SaaS offerings, expanding industry-focused solutions such as space-intelligence, and further cultivating its global developer and partner ecosystem. These initiatives are designed to reinforce our position as a leading AI developer platform and drive diversified, higher-value revenue streams over the long term.
Building on the progress achieved in recent quarters, including sustained profitability, an improved margin profile, and strong operating cash flow, the Company remains focused on disciplined execution while selectively investing in key product, technology, and market growth opportunities. Tuya believes that its platform capabilities, ecosystem strengths, and solid financial position provide a strong foundation to navigate near-term uncertainties and capture long-term structural opportunities in the global intelligent technology market.
In response to this evolving market environment, the Company will remain committed to continuously iterating and improving its products and services and further enhancing software and hardware capabilities, particularly by leveraging the AI 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 and interest rates volatility, the imposition of new tariffs, or adjustments in existing tariffs or trade barriers, and broader geopolitical uncertainties.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP profit from operations (including non-GAAP operating margin), non-GAAP net profit (including non-GAAP net margin), and non-GAAP basic and diluted net 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 financial measures by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, credit-related impairment of long-term investments and litigation costs from the respective GAAP financial 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 financial 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, credit-related impairment of long-term investments and litigation costs have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP 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 measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP 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.
