Risks

• PRC regulatory and legal environment — Tuya is incorporated in the Cayman Islands but operates primarily through PRC entities such as Hangzhou Tuya Technology, exposing it to PRC laws and regulatory actions including those noted for CAC and CSRC.
• VIE structure history — Tuya previously consolidated a former variable interest entity, Hangzhou Tuya Technology, which was deregistered in November 2025, indicating historical reliance on contractual arrangements that may pose accounting or legal risk.
• Geographic and listing complexity — Dual listing on the NYSE and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange subjects Tuya to overlapping U.S. and Hong Kong disclosure, accounting and governance requirements.
• Revenue concentration and volatility — Revenue fell from $302.1M in 2021 to $208.2M in 2022 before recovering, showing sensitivity to demand in smart device and consumer electronics markets.
