Guangzhou, China, November 13, 2018 – YY Inc. (NASDAQ: YY) (“YY” or “the Company”), a leading live streaming social media platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2018.

 

Third Quarter 2018 Highlights

·Net revenues increased by 32.6% to RMB4,100.5 million (US$597.0 million) from RMB3,092.3 million in the corresponding period of 2017.
·Net income attributable to YY was RMB650.7 million (US$94.7 million) compared to RMB636.0 million in the corresponding period of 2017.
·Non-GAAP net income attributable to YY1 increased by 19.7% to RMB787.0 million (US$114.6 million) from RMB657.3 million in the corresponding period of 2017.

 

Mr. David Xueling Li, Chairman and acting Chief Executive Officer of YY, stated, “During the third quarter of 2018 we recorded outstanding operating results, highlighted by a 20.7% year-over-year growth in our mobile live streaming monthly active users (MAU) and a 26.3% year-over-year growth in our total live streaming paying users. Our strong performance in the third quarter was attributable to the continuous market expansion for both YY Live and Huya. For YY Live, we continued to leverage our industry-leading AI technology to increase the accuracy and effectiveness of our content recommendation process. Meanwhile, we have initiated a strategic cooperation with Xiaomi to exclusively operate certain entertainment live streaming services on Xiaomi Live. The cooperation will provide Xiaomi’s users with a better experience in entertainment live streaming services and enable both YY and Xiaomi to explore additional monetization opportunities. Looking ahead, we will remain focused on cementing YY’s leadership in the live streaming industry through product innovation and technology advancements.”

 

Mr. Bing Jin, Chief Financial Officer of YY, further commented, “We once again achieved solid financial performance in the third quarter of 2018. Our total net revenues increased by 32.6% year over year to RMB4,100.5 million, exceeding the high end of our previous guidance range. The increase in net revenues was driven by the robust growth of our live streaming revenues which increased by 35.6% year over year to RMB3,894.5 million. Our non-GAAP net income attributable to YY also increased by 19.7% year over year to RMB787.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. We are confident that our strategies to enhance our content offerings and AI technologies will continue to yield sustainable growth, and increase our market share in the live streaming industry.”

These adjustments amounted to RMB136.3 million (US19.8 million) and RMB21.3 million in the third quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Please refer to the section titled “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” for details.

Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results

 

NET REVENUES

Net revenues increased by 32.6% to RMB4,100.5 million (US$597.0 million) in the third quarter of 2018 from RMB3,092.3 million in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily driven by an increase in live streaming revenues. Live streaming revenues increased by 35.6% to RMB3,894.5 million (US$567.1 million) in the third quarter of 2018 from RMB2,871.6 million in the corresponding period of 2017.

 

Other revenues2 decreased by 6.7% to RMB205.9 million (US$30.0 million) in the third quarter of 2018 from RMB220.7 million in the corresponding period of 2017.

 

COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS PROFIT

Cost of revenues increased by 41.6% to RMB2,674.5 million (US$389.4 million) in the third quarter of 2018 from RMB1,889.3 million in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily attributable to an increase in revenue-sharing fees and content costs to RMB2,212.6 million (US$322.2 million) in the third quarter of 2018 from RMB1,604.9 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 for both YY Live and Huya segments, respectively. In addition, bandwidth costs increased to RMB249.5 million (US$36.3 million) in the third quarter of 2018 from RMB160.5 million in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily reflecting continued user base expansion and live streaming quality improvements.

 

Gross profit increased by 18.5% to RMB1,426.0 million (US$207.6 million) in the third quarter of 2018 from RMB1,203.0 million in the corresponding period of 2017. Gross margin was 34.8% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 38.9% in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily due to the increase in revenue-sharing fees and content costs. In addition, the relatively low gross margin of the Huya segment had negative impact to the overall gross margin, since the Huya segment’s contribution to net revenues increased significantly year-over-year.

 

 

 

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.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating expenses were RMB864.7 million (US$125.9 million) in the third quarter of 2018 compared to RMB560.3 million in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily due to increased investments in talent recruitment as part of the Company’s efforts to enhance its research and development capabilities.

 

Operating income was RMB610.9 million (US$88.9 million) in the third quarter of 2018 compared to RMB661.4 million in the corresponding period of 2017. Operating margin was 14.9% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 21.4% in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily due to the increase in research and development expenses and the decrease in gross margin.

 

Non-GAAP operating income3 increased by 12.9% to RMB774.2 million (US$112.7 million) in the third quarter of 2018 from RMB685.8 million in the corresponding period of 2017. Non-GAAP operating margin4 was 18.9% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 22.2% in the corresponding period of 2017.

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.
