What is this Case About: Sea Limited (SE) Misled Investors Regarding its Financial Prospects

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (i) Sea Limited overstated its ability to manage the growth of its user base and loan book while enhancing its profitability; (ii) Sea Limited's expansion to a broader user base and growing loan book rendered the Company significantly more vulnerable to higher credit losses; and (iii) as a result, the Company was likely to book a significant increase in loan revenues, which would have a significant impact on Sea Limited's earnings.

On May 16, 2023, Sea Limited announced its financial results for the first quarter 2023, including that first-quarter earnings fell significantly short of expectations due to a sharp increase in loan loss reserves. The Company advised that “ [o]ur provision for credit losses increased by 120.5% to US$177.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 from US$80.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, primarily driven by expansion to a broader user base and the growth of our loan book.” The Company also disclosed that its previous Chief Investment Officer had left his role to join the Company's Board of Directors. On this news, the Company's ADS price fell $15.62 per ADS, or over 17%, to close at $72.45 per ADS on May 16, 2023.
