Fourth Quarter 2015 Highlights
- Net revenues increased by 62.3% to RMB1,899.8 million (US$293.3 million) from RMB1,170.6 million in the corresponding period of 2014.
Full Year 2015 Highlights
- Net revenues increased by 60.3% to RMB5,897.2 million (US$910.4 million) from RMB3,678.4 million in 2014.
Mr. David Xueling Li, Chief Executive Officer of YY, stated, "We are pleased to report another strong quarter as we saw continued top-line growth momentum across our core business segments, namely online music and entertainment, online dating, and Huya broadcasting. Furthermore, in our online music and entertainment business, revenues from mobile grew at an impressive rate of 452% year over year and accounted for 45% of total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2015. Going forward, we will continue to build up our mobile offering and introduce other innovative services as we strive to meet the evolving demands of users in the dynamic mobile internet market. As we continue to augment and adapt the services across our healthy ecosystem, we are confident in our ability to strengthen our position as the leading real-time internet platform in China."
Mr. Eric He, Chief Financial Officer of YY, commented, "In the fourth quarter of 2015, we continued to see strong top-line growth with our net revenues increasing by 62.3% year over year, primarily reflecting our core business growth, but partially offset by the expected ongoing softness of the online game business. In addition, we further increased our paying users by 29.9% year over year to 3.2 million as of December 31, 2015. The mobile-end was a strong driver of our overall growth in the fourth quarter. Particularly in our core online music and entertainment business, mobile ARPU increased by 139% year over year to RMB388, and mobile paying users increased by 131% year over year to 1.4 million. As we move forward, we remain confident in our ability to roll out new, innovative services to our massive community of users and strengthen our ecosystem."
Fourth Quarter 2015 Financial Results
NET REVENUES
Net revenues increased by 62.3% to RMB1,899.8 million (US$293.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB1,170.6 million in the corresponding period of 2014, primarily driven by the increase in IVAS revenues. IVAS revenues, which mainly consisted of revenues from online music and entertainment, online games, online dating, Huya broadcasting and YY's membership program, increased by 60.7% to RMB1,832.0 million (US$282.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB1,140.2 million in the corresponding period of 2014. The increase in IVAS revenues was primarily driven by a 29.9% year-over-year increase in the number of paying users and a 24.3% year-over-year increase in average revenue per user ("ARPU").
Revenues from online music and entertainment increased by 69.3% to RMB1,145.0 million (US$176.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB676.2 million in the corresponding period of 2014. This increase was driven by a year-over-year increase of 44.5% in the number of paying users to 2,157,000, and a year-over-year increase of 17.2% in ARPU to RMB531. Moreover, mobile ARPU continues to experience solid acceleration, having grown 139% to RMB388 in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB162 in the corresponding period of 2014. In addition, the Company held its 2015 YY Entertainment Annual Event Competition in December 2015, which, as in prior years, proved to be a successful iconic event in the industry and boosted the Company's online music and entertainment revenues.
Revenues from online games were RMB172.4 million (US$26.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015, as compared to RMB229.4 million in the corresponding period of 2014. This decline was primarily caused by a 32.5% year-over-year decrease in paying users to 340,000, which reflects the continued softness in China's web game market, but was partially offset by an 11.4% year-over-year increase in ARPU of online games.
Revenues from online dating increased by 102.4% to RMB189.2 million (US$29.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB93.5 million in the corresponding period of 2014. This increase primarily resulted from a 109.3% year-over-year increase in ARPU to RMB837 in the fourth quarter of 2015, partially driven by the contribution from the 2015 YY Online Dating Annual Event Competition, which was held for the first time in December 2015.
Other IVAS revenues, mainly including Huya broadcasting and membership subscription fees, increased by 130.6% to RMB325.4 million (US$50.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB141.1 million in the corresponding period of 2014. Revenues from Huya broadcasting increased by 152.2% to RMB133.6 million (US$20.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB53.0 million in the corresponding period of 2014. Revenues from membership subscription fees increased by 36.4% to RMB80.8 million (US$12.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB59.3 million in the corresponding period of 2014, which reflected a 3.3% increase in the number of members to 1,086,000 as of December 31, 2015 from 1,051,000 as of December 31, 2014.
Other revenues, mainly including revenues from the Company's online education platform, 100 Education, online advertising revenues from Duowan.com, and e-commerce, increased by 123.1% to RMB67.8 million (US$10.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB30.4 million in the corresponding period of 2014.
COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS PROFIT
Cost of revenues increased by 87.1% to RMB1,168.2 million (US$180.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB624.5 million in the corresponding period of 2014, primarily attributable to an increase in revenue-sharing fees and content costs to RMB807.3 million (US$124.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB397.8 million in the corresponding period of 2014. The increase in revenue-sharing fees and content costs paid to performers, channel owners and content providers was in line with the increase in revenues and was primarily due to the higher level of user engagement and spending driven by promotional activities, as well as the Company's investments in expanding the amount of new and innovative content it provides to users. In addition, bandwidth costs increased to RMB161.1 million (US$24.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB117.8 million in the corresponding period of 2014, primarily reflecting the continued user base expansion and the video quality improvements.
Gross profit increased by 34.0% to RMB731.6 million (US$112.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015 from RMB546.1 million in the corresponding period of 2014. Gross margin was 38.5% in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with 46.7% in the corresponding period of 2014. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to the change in the Company's business mix to include new business lines involving user-generated content, and higher revenue-sharing fees and content costs.
OPERATING INCOME
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased by 59.6% to RMB354.6 million (US$54.7 million) from RMB222.2 million in the corresponding period of 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales and marketing expenses, particularly those associated with mobile product promotion, as well as general and administrative expenses, driven by the Company's overall business expansion.
Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2015 increased by 25.6% to RMB409.8 million (US$63.3 million), as compared to RMB326.3 million in the corresponding period of 2014. Operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2015 was 21.6%, as compared to 27.9% in the corresponding period of 2014.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), except that the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity, consolidated statements of cash flows, and the detailed notes have not been presented. YY uses non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc., non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders, and basic and diluted non-GAAP net income per ADS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP operating income is operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenues. Non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc. is net income attributable to YY Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net margin is non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc. as a percentage of net revenues. Non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders is net income attributable to common shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses. Basic and diluted non-GAAP net income per ADS is non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders divided by weighted average number of ADS used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ADS. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the non-cash impact of share-based compensation adds clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measure for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of non-cash share-based compensation expenses, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "YY Inc. Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this release.
