Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

 

NET REVENUES

 

Net revenues increased by 44.6% to RMB3,773.2 million (US$570.2 million) in the second quarter of 2018 from RMB2,609.0 million in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily driven by an increase in live streaming revenues. Live streaming revenues increased by 50.0% to RMB3,559.7 million (US$538.0 million) in the second quarter of 2018 from RMB2,373.4 million in the corresponding period of 2017.

 

Other revenues2 decreased by 9.4% to RMB213.6 million (US$32.3 million) in the second quarter of 2018 from RMB235.6 million in the corresponding period of 2017.

 

COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS PROFIT

 

Cost of revenues increased by 48.0% to RMB2,313.8 million (US$349.7 million) in the second quarter of 2018 from RMB1,563.4 million in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily attributable to an increase in revenue-sharing fees and content costs to RMB1,882.6 million (US$284.5 million) in the second quarter of 2018 from RMB1,259.0 million in the corresponding period of 2017. The increase in revenue-sharing fees and content costs paid to performers, guilds, and content providers was in line with the increase in live streaming revenues. In addition, bandwidth costs increased to RMB246.0 million (US$37.2 million) in the second quarter of 2018 from RMB165.3 million in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily reflecting continued user base expansion and live streaming quality improvements.

 

Gross profit increased by 39.6% to RMB1,459.5 million (US$220.6 million) in the second quarter of 2018 from RMB1,045.5 million in the corresponding period of 2017. Gross margin was 38.7% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to 40.1% in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily due to the increase in revenue-sharing fees and content costs.

 

OPERATING INCOME

 

Operating expenses were RMB779.6 million (US$117.8 million) in the second quarter of 2018 compared to RMB476.3 million in the corresponding period of 2017.

 

Operating income increased by 19.1% to RMB713.8 million (US$107.9 million) in the second quarter of 2018 from RMB599.4 million in the corresponding period of 2017. Operating margin was 18.9% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to 23.0% in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily due to the increase in share-based compensation.

 

 

2 Starting from the first quarter of 2018, the Company re-classified its revenues from online games, revenues from memberships, and other revenues (which mainly represent revenues from the Company’s online advertising revenues) to the category “other revenues” in order to better reflect the Company’s continued strategic shift towards its live streaming business.

Net loss attributable to YY Inc. in the second quarter of 2018 includes a non-recurring and non-cash item of RMB2,273.4 million (US$343.6 million) in fair value loss on derivative liabilities5, which resulted from the preferred shares of HUYA Inc. that existed before its IPO and the increase in HUYA Inc.’s enterprise value as indicated by the price of its initial public offering. Net loss attributable to YY Inc. in the second quarter of 2018 is partially offset by RMB1,205.0 million (US$182.1 million) of fair value change of investments6. The income tax expense in the second quarter of 2018 was significantly impacted by (i) non-recurring fair value loss on derivative liabilities which was non-deductible for income tax purpose, and (ii) gain on fair value change of Bigo Inc. which was non-taxable for income tax purpose.

 

Non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc. increased by 51.6% to RMB873.2 million (US$132.0million) from RMB576.2 million in the corresponding period of 2017. Non-GAAP net margin7 expanded to 23.1% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to 22.1% in the corresponding period of 2017.

The derivative liabilities were transferred to shareholders' equity upon the completion of HUYA Inc.'s IPO as all preferred shares were converted into ordinary shares of HUYA Inc. upon completion of the IPO.

6 Following the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018, the Company measures long-term investments other than equity method investments at fair value through earnings. For those investments without readily determinable fair values, the Company elects to record these investments at cost, less impairment, and plus or minus subsequent adjustments for observable price changes. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company recognised RMB1,205 million (US$182.1 million) of gain on fair value change on investments (primarily from the gain on fair value change of Bigo Inc.).

7 Non-GAAP net margin is non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc. as a percentage of net revenues.

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”). YY uses non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc., non-GAAP net margin, 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, impairment of goodwill and investments, and gain on deconsolidation and disposal of subsidiary. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenues. Non-GAAP net income is net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment of goodwill and investments, gain on deconsolidation and disposal of subsidiary, gain on deemed disposal and disposal of investments, gain on fair value change of investments and equity investees’ investments, fair value loss on derivative liabilities, and income tax effects of above non-GAAP reconciling items. Non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc. is net income attributable to YY Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment of goodwill and investments, gain on deconsolidation and disposal of subsidiary, gain on deemed disposal and disposal of investments, gain on fair value change of investments and equity investees’ investments, fair value loss on derivative liabilities, deemed dividend to subsidiary’s Series A preferred shareholders and income tax effects of above non-GAAP reconciling items and adjustment for non-GAAP reconciling items for the income attributable to non-controlling interests. Non-GAAP net margin is non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc. as a percentage of net revenues. Basic and diluted non-GAAP net income per ADS is non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc. 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 above reconciling items 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 non-cash effect of (i) share-based compensation expenses, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business, (ii) impairment of goodwill and investments, gain on deconsolidation and disposal of subsidiary, gain on deemed disposal and disposal of investments, gain on fair value change of investments and equity investees’ investments, fair value loss on derivative liabilities, and deemed dividend to subsidiary’s Series A preferred shareholders, which may not be recurring in its business, and (iii) income tax expenses and non-GAAP adjustments for net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest shareholders, which are affected by above non-GAAP reconciling items. 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.
