Overview

SEA Group is one of the largest e-commerce players in the Asia Pacific region, with a heavy focus in the Southeast Asia region. During Covid, SEA Group enjoyed massive tailwinds from consumer online spend. As the world returned to normalcy and macro conditions became tighter, those tailwinds moderated and revenue growth slowed and flattened. Given these challenges, your task is to help diagnose what are the key drivers behind the decline and what options they can consider to turn around revenue and profitability.
