$SE recent move into the travel space wasn’t a surprise for close watchers of the e-com🛍 platforms in SE Asia, as detailed in the excellent @TheKenWeb / @xinyi_pholsena article below. But how does this move fit into Sea’s wider strategy? ⬇️
1/ “Buy everything on Shopee🛍” is their motto; in other words, capture 📈% of user spend. Groceries, food delivery + travel are the obvious manifestations of this. The essence of a “super app” $SE
2/ But travel is a different beast, building relationships with 🏨 operators is hard, delivering a high service quality in travel is a new skillset. So…partnering with Agoda+booking acknowledges $SE limitations, which I like

1/ $SE a thread🧵on the evolution of SeaMoney, Sea’s digital financial services (DFS). Things are about to get interesting: critical pieces ♟ are now falling into place + incremental monetization can begin at scale ⬇️⬇️⬇️
2/ What is SeaMoney? It includes payments services such as ShopeePay (e-wallet) + AirPay (reverse ATM), nascent digital 🏦 in 🇸🇬 + 🇮🇩 + a range of consumer/SMB financing products inc. BNPL (SPayLater) + seller loans (SPinjam) ➡️ services are launched/adapted at country level $SE
3/ Rivals - Grab + Gojek are regional rivals. Sea’s advantages include access to funding, its regional network + superior use-case (🛍). Multiple players can be successful + niche specialists will emerge $SE

$SE Shopee 🛍 + its path to profitability ➡️ a thread🧵

1️⃣ Shopee 🛍 headline EBITDA losses (between $250m and $310m in each of the past several Qs) at a business level are, in isolation, misleading ➡️ they do not tell the full picture 🖼

Here's why ➡️
2️⃣ It is important instead to 👀 unit economics ➡️ at order level. As its comp position has 💪 in recent Qs – it was ranked no. 1 🥇in key download and engagement metrics in Q2 20 ➡️ EBITDA loss per order has continued to narrow Q on Q, from $2.07 in Q4 16 to $0.50 in Q2 20. $SE
3️⃣ Shopee 🛍 has increased its take-rate over the past 3 years from 0.1% (Q1 17) to 6.3% in (Q2 20)

🔹This number is "inflated" by the inclusion of VAS (logistics services to cross-border sellers) and handling fees

🧵
 
1️⃣ While the narrative in 🇺🇸 and other dev markets switches to a potential COVID vaccine, the reality for many emerging markets (EMs) including 🇮🇩 + 🇧🇷 is the wait may be significantly longer. Consumers and sellers are adapting to a new normal.
2️⃣ The longer this period of uncertainty persists, the more entrenched digital consumer preferences will become, the more sellers (both small and large) will shift their focus to online marketplaces and distribution channels.
3️⃣ Consumers in EMs are not just spending more online as forecasted in 2019, they're also buying into more categories online, including previously underpenetrated areas such as 🍎🌽🥕🥔(online and fresh) and non-alcoholic beverages.
