Through the development of smart cameras on the ground, a Greek-based giant chose to build a smart product brand on the ground, an Indian-based brand used the ground platform to complete the interconnection of various appliances and heaters, as well as Korea's leading e-commerce channels. China's leading brands have chosen to build a set of free-brand IoT products on the ground platform, etc.

Treat whole kinder to react I don't see them coming.

I mean keep in mind, you dug into that where you can pay to tell us the one to be up in Taiwan can call a jingle, but she later, having to do a hail and withhold Mackenzie coming true.

Uh Huh, John Judy Chu Ginger and does that so we oftentimes on Ginnie trend towards let's see what came out of our tea time in tandem.

I'm in Tucson.

Sometimes the Gen. Two quick one Jim.

He got some glitch in the sone watching weird E G.

Climate change, we actually might be not that Oh Gee.

So julien.

Thank you Jimmy Dean simple for them.

Okay.

Yeah.

Speaker 3: A smart shared office built with a management area of more than 1 million square meters in China's leading office space has now reached the stage of scale duplication, etc.

Well by lumpy meet some glitch and upon when Jim.

The way it ghansham.

So when we change a couple which you're going to forget even done apt one being done.

Speaker 3: to provide a unified set of IoT standards for global customers including cloud-covered, app-covered, and edge-covered.

It doesn't have the 20th I don't need to be able to.

So that's really all I can kind of clarify the sort of baking and go that timing of Wheeler in surgeons' until you showed up putting up with M. T M.

Speaker 3: so that all the devices developed based on the Tuya platform can achieve a truly excellent inter-network experience in the long-term future.

Speaker 3: The main approach of the private cloud solution is similar to that of various ERP systems. It is a new product that deploys the standard IoT business cloud code on the private cloud of the customer. The private cloud of the customer is based on the IaaS cloud infrastructure purchased by the customer.

So our ceiling fan that's all fine yeah, Peter she doesn't it.

Later today, you can function so again built on the island.

So that could put a ceiling sound that you don't see in time, he called me to fill you in.

So she can go mad.

Uh huh.

Speaker 3: Which we are going in T C in the be Cant cubb in to cut thousand on the survey. Kin tumbo in johk o and hhoong who cent down.

We are going to see soon the government shutdown debate she has her own.

Yeah.

So be counting to Morgan gunflint with them, which aren't doing the enemy jingle huge I put him in that engine. She had a COVID-19 defenses.

Speaker 3: After the trial and error of customers from leading companies in several different fields, we are now formally proposing to the global market a plan to satisfy a more diversified demand of customers.

Kinder Chairman Chinchillas the time to do so we are still in the fine Ya man, who could who do you find that you go through each of them.

We provide global customers with one set of unified Iot standards covering to cloud.

Speaker 1: We provide global customers with one set of unified IoT standards covering the cloud, app, and edge modules so that all devices developed on QIR platform can experience excellent interconnection in the long term.

And is a cloud infrastructure are owned by the customer utilizing the same standards as our public cloud system. All private cloud product is capable of interconnecting with all other smart devices and seen to under two y'all Iot standards via the cloud after the trial and lending of several leading enterprise.

Speaker 1: Utilizing the same standards as our public cloud system, our private cloud product is capable of interconnecting with all other smart devices and scenes under QIoT standards via the cloud.

Speaker 1: After the trial and landing of several leading enterprise customers in different fields, we are now officially launching QIA Private Cloud solutions in the global market, further diversifying our solutions to meet customer demand worldwide.

The mers in different fields, we are now officially launching to our private cloud solutions in the global market further diversifying our solutions to meet customer demand worldwide.

Do you have a date to whole paas and Joseph I mean.

Speaker 3: Secondly, in terms of the value of the post-production path, we have strategically launched more than 100 advanced IoT functions. In the development period, customers can choose these capabilities on the spot when developing their own smart products, such as artificial lighting of lighting products, power management and statistics in the power industry, BMS power management, smart irrigation of agricultural products, map capability of robot equipment, cloud-type capability in the small power industry, etc. In the development period, we have strategically launched more than 100 advanced IoT functions. In the development period, we have strategically launched more than 100 advanced IoT functions.

The tweets that you buy a Jewish under I don't get skeptical on them, because they're kind of Archie statutes and in time. He is nimble and fusions are hitting them no needle sometimes it doesn't he told me he doesn't help I know that you don't cheat BMS at the.

One need only.

And we have time here. So we won't guide just yet so but each one of them.

Typing them either country.

Speaker 3: App or third-party voice-to-speech connection control devices are the basic functions of IoT, and the advanced functions of IoT that are constantly being passed on can not only help customers realize the competitiveness of product development, but can also help customers to meet the demand and achieve a reputation-building purchase demand through the re-creation of service value from functional products to smart products.

Oh, he Samsung, India, Kwanza, SEBI Iot, that's you've been calling them.

So I'll pass on that I don't get Gotcha, calling them, which include Pan to Cook, who spent time in Taiwan that seemed to me I'm pleased to welcome them to attempting to alternate time enough with Jonathan Fair triangle, and Luca who treat them.

So you can call basins in the country.

In terms of enriching the value of Paas layer, we strategically upgraded our standard Iot Paas and began to deliver over 100 events Iot features for our customers to select as needed when developing their own smart devices. These features include human centric lighting.

For lighting products energy management and statistics in the electric electrical field, BMS charging and discharging management smart irrigation for agricultural product localization and mapping capabilities for a robot devices cloud recipe capabilities for home appliances and 90 more.

Speaker 1: Compared with the basic IoT function of connecting and controlling devices through an app or third-party voice and audio devices, constantly refining and improving the advanced IoT features in past can not only help customers enhance their product's differentiated competitiveness, but also help them to hedge against inflation and meet the richer demand for word-of-mouth products through regenerating service value from functional products to smart products.

Compared with the basic Iot function of connecting and controlling devices through an app or third party voice and audio devices constantly refining and improving the advanced Iot features in Paas cannot only help customers enhance their product differentiated competitiveness, but also help them to hedge against.

Inflation and meet the major demand for word of mouth product the regenerating surface value from functional products to smart products.

Is that sort of thing can I assume the sample GSE like yourself.

Speaker 1: This concludes my sharing for today. I will now turn the call over to Jesse, our CFO , to review the financial details.

For example, one of the largest sport clubs in the Netherlands with 120 years' history has also deployed Tuya Commercial Lighting SaaS in the third quarter and equipped with over 100 sets of floodlights connected by Tuya.

Meanwhile, this product also well received by oversea customers with approximately 15% of commercial lighting SaaS revenue generating from overseas market in the third quarter. For example, one of the largest sports clubs in the Netherlands.

120 years history has also deployed a two year commercial lighting sauce in third quarter and equipped with over 100 sets of floodlights connected by two yet.

Our commercial lighting soft product, it's relatively comprehensive now and our team extending it into building stuff, which can connect HIV system with Iot and cloud platform.

Speaker 4: Our Commercial Lighting SAS product is relatively comprehensive now, and our team is extending it into Building SAS, which can connect HAV system with IoT Cloud Platform, connecting those powered by Tuya.

Connecting those part of a two year AR devices.

Through industry.

At Gateway to make HIV systems matter and achieve a better energy efficiency currently a number of well known HIV system companies have expressed their interest.

Speaker 4: Edge Gateway to make HIV systems smarter and achieve a better energy efficiency. Currently a number of well-known HIV system companies have expressed their interest and are discussing the cooperation with us. Energy saving and carbon reduction is a rigid global demand and a major trend. Therefore commercial lighting and building SAS is embracing a big

We are discussing the cooperation with us.

Energy savings and carbon reductions.

Richard Global demand and a major trend there for a commercial lighting into building stocks.

Embracing a big global market.

Speaker 4: Our residential security SaaS and the self-service SaaS also has good application scenarios. Due to the limited time available, I'm not going to go through them one by one.

Residential security soft in a self service stuff also has good application scenarios due to the limited time available I not going to go through them one by one.

Speaker 4: At last, regarding to the business of industry cloud developers, which has some similarities with SAS, is also addressing the IoT demands of various commercial and other scenarios apart from home. The differences is that we provide pedestrian products such as IoT Core and the upper software application layer is developed by the ISVs themselves.

Regarding to the business of industry called the developers, which has some similarities with stuff is are also addressing the Iot demands of various commercial and auto scenarios apart from home. The differences is that we provide so that to a product such as Iot caught and the opera software application Lille.

It's developed by the ISC East themselves you know.

Speaker 4: In our exploration this year, we found that there's a great demand for IoT spaces in China, such as shared offices and all kinds of retail stores. For example, our ISV, MyDreamPlus, in Chinese name, Mengxiangjia, has used our Tuya IoT Core, which is our industry cloud developer product.

All exploration does here, we've found that there's a great demand for Iot spaces in China, such as shared offices and all kind of retail stores. For example, our ISC My Dream Pos in Chinese named Michelle Jock has used our Iot Iot called <unk>, which is our industry called to develop a product to implement.

Speaker 4: to implement over 150 Smart Shared Offices areas in Beijing and Shenzhen this year.

Over 100, Fifty's marks should offices arris in Beijing, and Shenzhen to see it.

Meanwhile, a number of industrial scenario operators, such as waste water treatment company.

Speaker 4: Meanwhile, a number of industrial scenario operators such as a wastewater treatment company

Is cooperating with us in using Twilio Iot caught to connect our cost off of wastewater treatment facilities two in their Iot platform on their own cloud.

Speaker 4: is cooperating with us and using 2YA IoT Core to connect a cluster of wastewater treatment facilities to their IoT platform on their own cloud.

Speaker 4: We believe there is a huge existing spaces that require IoT upgrades. We will continue to optimize our industry cloud developer products to help operators in different scenarios obtain IoT upgrades easily. In terms of organizational structure improvement, since the industry cloud developer business and SAS have many similarities, an underlying IoT core is the same. We have recently merged two teams to attain higher efficiency

We believe there is a huge existing spaces that require Iot upgrades, where we're continuing to optimize our industry cloud developer product to help operators different scenarios, obtaining Iot upgrades easily in terms of organizational structure improvement since the industry called the divider purposes.

And in fact have many similarities in the underlying Iot called it's the same we have recently merged two teams to attain a higher efficiency in production.

Speaker 4: in the research because of the huge connected by two hardware ecology

And the research because of the huge connected by two young hardware ecology.

Speaker 4: accumulated in last seven years. There are thousands of excellent OEMs and brands we can cooperate with for long term, which makes our IoT SaaS business well positioned and is able to meet the needs of customers for IoT devices and IoT upgrades in different kind of scenarios around the world.

Cumulated in like seven years, there are thousands of excellent Oem's and Brian.

We can cooperate with for a long time, which makes it all Iot SaaS business, we're positioned and it's able to meet the needs of customers for Iot devices, and Iot upgrades in different kinds of scenarios around the world.

Speaker 4: And regarding the second question, we'll ask our president and co-chairman Liu to answer.

And then regarding the second question well ask our president.

President and co chairman do you to answer.

Speaker 3: We started with the overseas market to develop IoT business. In the first half of 2019, we launched IoT business in the Chinese market.

And you'll get a doctor to you.

So I'm gonna junk tissue like cheese and phone calls on the subject.

Now, we first established our Iot business in the overseas market and we started our Iot business in China in the first half of 2019, we've made very good progress in the past three years and right now the distribution of all this is across the global region is becoming more balanced and we will continue to increase the proportion of our business in China.

Speaker 1: Now, we first established our IOT business in the overseas market. And we started our IOT business in China in the first half of 2019. We've made very good progress in the past three years.

Judy a young woman gentleman go you've seen Idaho tool Wuhsien PBT to still be you shouldn't do it off until they see all those should all people that don't go a good idea and something that's all medical use those without PV Cheetah clearly the Shelby again punchy.

Speaker 3: Due year woman 't? U I her to Mo P V T to survey aging sdo Don she also should feel that don't go occur again something that's Y So talk P V T to curar the shel eighteagainst time.

We now have very active cooperations with different brands, so devices and powered by two young husbands penetrated into many distribution channels. For example, consumer electronics products that power. That's powered by two yeah. It can be found on all major e-commerce platforms in China.

She said.

Speaker 3: Secondly, we have cooperated with channels, for example, we have cooperated with many channels in the home and post-market, and with telecommunications operators, so that they can sell PBT's smart devices.

She doesn't want a pillow.

Judge long haul, sometimes you don't control.

You don't have them call you. She also PBT to somebody to do us.

We also cooperate with channels such as the poll to him in person markets telecom operators, except job. So they can sell smart devices that are powered by two young.

Speaker 1: We also cooperate with channels such as the post-home improvement market, telecom operators, etc., so they can sell smart devices that are powered by QYAP.

Besides sources.

Speaker 3: Third, SAAS and Huang Yiyun's development business has opened up a new world in China. These scenarios, because they use the original IoT SAAS or the original IoT Core, they will use a lot of PPT products. These scenarios, many of them are very well-known and powerful companies that will require the leading brands they cooperate with to deploy the original IoT PaaS. This will have a better effect than if we talk to the brand ourselves.

Highlights of you that don't go into contingency. So you don't have to go out of our cheese sauce.

Okay cool.

PBT you'd haven't you.

She is hunting ball and also tissue tuning does fleet you that each year, we young children harmonics goes with ocean pipe, she pauses, Oh gee possible to be a woman cities you're hooking in my time.

Well you can go onto shoveled.

That's an industry cloud developer business have also carved out a niche market in China and these scenarios used to be all Iot SaaS or Iot Court do also adopt a large number of products empowered by two yards as the all the operators of these scenarios many of which are extremely well known enterprises was very strong.

Speaker 1: South Korean industry cloud developer business have also coughed out a niche market in China. As these scenarios use Kuya IoT SaaS or IoT Core, they will also adopt a large number of products empowered by Kuya.

Speaker 1: and the operators of these scenarios, many of which are extremely well-known enterprises with very strong negotiation power in the market. So they can require top tier brands that they work with to deploy to our IoT path, which is very beneficial for us because this coming in effect will be more powerful when dealing with brands by ourselves in terms of customer acquisition.

Negotiation power in the market. So they can require top tier brands that they work with to deploy to Iot you pass, which is very beneficial for us because this coming in in fact, it will be more powerful when dealing with friends by ourselves in terms of customer acquisition.

Well they don't see issue that's ongoing tissue to filing a few weeks. So she likes she then sold its empty.

Speaker 7: Or my chane, should you RA, let don't go E the sciongit way. So Ally like sheasons, don't go years, also the time.

And how does it suggest that Neal.

Yeah.

Speaker 5: Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Yang Liu with Morgan Stanley . Your line is open.

Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of young Li with Morgan Stanley. Your line is open.

Yeah.

Oh Gosh, if you went to G O.

Speaker 8: Thank you for the opportunity to ask questions. I have two questions. First, I would like to ask how to consider the contribution of our newly released private cloud-deployed PaaS to finance. Will this part of the income replace some of our previous IOT PaaS business or is this an opportunity to open up a new market?

Shortchanged on wage Oh man Xing, gobbled up silly and bush with a possible I wish on the common shares.

Oh, Gee pufendorf showroom waiting a home a horizontal type of tea.

For them, it's a chance to Iot the Pos you Tricia.

Can you talk how you go to China. She knows she can I'll, let you.

Thiago once you know Joshua.

Speaker 8: The second question is that it's almost the end of the year, I want to know what Tuya's thoughts are on communicating the demand for next year with big customers.

You should know you quite on Yankee.

Oh, Oh, Oh, Gee is Toyota tender Taco hormone.

Go home and you know in the show Cheung Kong Center Taco Hummus.

Sure.

I will do the translation.

Speaker 8: I will do the translation, the first question is, could management share about the financial contribution from the newly released IoT PaaS on private cloud? Is it a substitute of existing IoT PaaS addressable market or is it a completely new addressable market for Tuya?

The first one the first question is could imagine when the ship also.

Financial contribution from the newly released.

I O T paas probably called.

Is it a substitute of existing Iot paas addressable market or is it a completely new.

The addressable market for trio.

The second question is as it.

Speaker 8: The second question is, as it is approaching the year-end, when we are...

It is approaching the year end.

Once we are hum.

Discuss with a premium customer or big customer about the next year's demand what do you see our outlook.

Speaker 8: Discuss with the premium customer or big customer about the next year's demand. What is their outlook? Could you please share about their shipment plan or demand plan? Thank you.

Could you please share about their shipments there or the mountain Paas central.

Yes.

Oh, no what else do you go into a field force with a possible of course, you have to come on cases, now where you can kind of Johan door, Taco, who got Ashish.

Speaker 7: We also see that many big customers are very interested in typical, such as large telecommunications operators and large retail channels, including well-known leading brands, such as a global top 10 brand of electric tools. Some large telecommunications operators in Southeast Asia and Southeast Asia are communicating with us in the early stages.

People, just dodging the Disney and Universal Das you can building so it should all pulpwood.

<unk> Pi.

As you just you just.

Didn't don't go into torrential published production pipe now.

Yeah no.

Yes, so demand as you thought you can do a danger zone.

And G in food to go to them now.

Speaker 7: We will have the cost of deploying, maintaining and deploying IoT PaaS devices. Because the deployment of PaaS business has just begun, the expected product pricing model will be more and more comprehensive.

No woman, who you'll see the full sort of for you we would.

For you as you push through the life of field Iot pasta Sophie.

We feel <unk> pools, where the part of the year was like Oh Oh.

She does hung Ching Ching jumbo suit that Mcqueen here one second.

Let me take the first question now all private Paas is still in an early developmental stage. Many large accounts are showing interest such as large telecom operators lots of retail channels and some well know leading brands and a lot of them are in be preliminary communication process with us for example, a global top 10 brand of electric.

Speaker 1: Let me take the first question. Now, our private path is still in an early developmental stage. Many large accounts are showing interest, such as large telecom operators, large retail channels, and some well-known leading brands. And a lot of them are in the preliminary communication process with us, for example, a global top 10 brand of electric power tools and some large telecom operators in the South and Southeast Asia. And there will be some private cloud deployment maintenance costs and IoT path charges upon deployment of the devices. As we are still in the initial stage of the development of the business, we are going to continue to improve our potential products and pricing models, et cetera. Thank you.

Power tools, and some large telecom operators in the south and South East Asia, and there will be some a part of it cloud deployment costs maintain the maintenance cost and Iot paas charges upon deployment off the devices as we are still in the initial stage of the development of the business, we are going to continue to improve.

Our potential products and pricing models et cetera. Thank you.

I just want to have at all one last point for this question. So our private cloud Paas is they are in addition to our major product the public cloud.

Speaker 4: I just want to add on one last point for this question. So our private cloud.

Speaker 4: In addition to our major product, the public cloud, this is not going to replace the existing market. This is to open a new market because there are certain customers, especially some large customers, just have strong requirements.

It is not going to replace the existing market. This is to open a new market because there are certain customers are especially with some large customers just have strong requirement.

Speaker 4: need to place all their data on their own private cloud, which the public cloud product cannot serve. So we believe we offer a private cloud product which still enables all the devices deployed on the private cloud able to connect to all other brands.

I need to place all their data on their own private cloud, which do you probably called product cannot serve so we believe.

We offer a private call product, a product, which still enable all the devices deployed on a private call to able to connect with our other brands.

Speaker 4: on our public cloud is able to open a new market for us.

On a product called <unk>.

Able to open a new market for us.

Our next question, which really don't ask I'll, let me take on it.

Speaker 4: For the next question, which Liu Yang asked, let me take on it. Usually we communicate with our major customers about their plan for next year at the end of December .

Usually we communicate with our major customers about their plans for next year at the end of December.

Speaker 4: At present, customers are closely observing the holiday season sales, shipping prices and a chance in raw material prices. They are generally now more cautious compared to the same time last year.

At present.

Our clothing.

Closely observing the holiday season sales shipping prices.

And a chance in raw material prices there.

Yeah, generally now more cautious compared to the same time last year.

Brian the customers Okay.

Speaker 4: are concerned about the impact of high inflation on purchase power, the chip shortage.

Concerned about the impact of high inflation on purchase power the chip shortage.

Shipping delays and the currently still high a secret to prices.

Speaker 4: shipping delays, and currently still high safe rate prices.

Speaker 4: which are all happened in parallel. So generally speaking, it is currently a stage of weakness in global consumption.

Which are all happen in Peru.

So generally speaking it is.

Currently our stage of weakness in global consumption.

However, a relatively good situation as debt from our communications with brands. They have exercised the caution. So most of friends inventories are in a healthy condition.

Speaker 4: However, a relatively good situation is that from our communications with brands, they have exercised the caution so most of brands' inventories are in a healthy condition.

Although there are many uncertainties in the macro situation major accounts have a generally expressed.

Speaker 4: Although there are many uncertainties in the macro situation, major accounts have generally expressed

Speaker 4: the interest to grow and continue to expand new product categories next year.

The interest to grow and continue to expand new product categories next year.

This is also a major advantage, what we our Iot call platform.

Speaker 4: This is also a major advantage for Tuya IoT Cloud Platform. On our Cloud Platform, we are constantly launching new products, support capabilities, allowing reputable customers with channel advantages to easily expand their IoT products.

I'll I'll cut Pup called platform, we are constantly launching new product support capabilities, allowing reputable customers with channel advantages to easily expand their Iot products.

For example, SD academics gradually eases outdoor Iot devices.

Speaker 4: For example, as the epidemic gradually eases, outdoor IoT devices will embrace strong demand.

Embraced strong demand.

Speaker 9: Many of our large accounts have expressed interest in working on outdoor IoT devices. So we will continue to help customers to expand by creating more valuable IoT devices.

Many of our large accounts have expressed interest in working on.

Although Iot devices. So we will continue to help customers to expend by creating more valuable Iot devices.

Okay.

Thank you Jesse and thank you.

Okay.

Okay.

I think that's.

Go ahead.

Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, so before we end the call. I want to make one last clarification. We noticed this morning. There's news Saying that we are missing

Speaker 4: the market consensus for the loss. We just want to clarify, we are contacting the new source to correct. I think the new source matched the non-GAAP loss from the market consensus, which is $0.06 per share, compared to the GAAP loss. Our non-GAAP loss is also $0.06 per share, so it does match the market consensus.

Market consensus for the last we just want to clarify are we are contacting the news talk to correct I think the news for me.

Most of the non-GAAP loss from the market consensus, which is six cents per share compared to the the GAAP loss. A non-GAAP loss is also six cents per share. So it does matter the market consensus.
