YY Inc. ANNOUNCES PROPOSED OFFERING OF US$850 MILLION CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

GUANGZHOU, CHINA – June 18, 2019: YY Inc. (Nasdaq: YY) (“YY” or the “Company”), a leading global social media platform, today announced the proposed offering (the “Notes Offering”) of US$425 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and US$425 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes,” and, together with the 2025 Notes, the “Notes”), subject to market and other conditions. The Company intends to grant the initial purchasers in the Notes Offering a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional US$75 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes and US$75 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes. The Company plans to use part of the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to pay the costs of the capped call transactions described below, and use the remainder of the proceeds for (i) global expansion-related initiatives, including infrastructure investment, personnel recruiting, sales and marketing and other efforts aimed at acquiring and servicing global users, (ii) video-based content offering expansion and enrichment, (iii) technology enhancement, and (iv) working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of YY. The 2025 Notes will mature on June 15, 2025 and the 2026 Notes will mature on June 15, 2026, unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to maturity, unless certain tax-related events occur. Holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or part of their Notes in cash on June 15, 2023, in the case of the 2025 Notes, and June 15, 2024, in the case of the 2026 Notes, or in the event of certain fundamental changes.

Prior to December 15, 2024, in the case of the 2025 Notes, or December 15, 2025, in the case of the 2026 Notes, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods. Holders may convert their Notes at their option at any time on or after December 15, 2024, in the case of the 2025 Notes, or December 15, 2025, in the case of the 2026 Notes, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the relevant maturity date. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver to such converting holders, as the case may be, cash, the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each currently representing twenty Class A common shares of the Company, or a combination of cash and ADSs, at the Company’s election. The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the Notes.

The Notes will be offered in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes, the ADSs deliverable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, and the Class A common shares represented thereby have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other place, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

In connection with the Notes Offering, the Company intends to enter into capped call transactions relating to each series of the Notes with one or more of the initial purchasers and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “Option Counterparties”). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to existing holders of the Class A common shares and ADSs of the Company upon conversion of the relevant Notes and/or offset any cash payments that the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, the Company expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the Option Counterparties with respect to the relevant series of the Notes as to which the option was exercised. The Option Counterparties advised the Company that, in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to purchase the ADSs and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s ADSs concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the ADSs or the Notes at that time. If any such capped call transaction fails to become effective, whether or not the Notes Offering is completed, the Option Counterparty party thereto may unwind its hedge positions with respect to the ADSs, which could adversely affect the value of the ADSs and, if the Notes have been issued, the value of the Notes.

In addition, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the ADSs and/or by purchasing or selling the ADSs or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of each series of the Notes. The Option Counterparties may engage in such activity during any observation period relating to a conversion of each series of the Notes. This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the ADSs or the Notes, which could affect noteholders’ ability to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could affect the number of ADSs and the value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of such Notes.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, nor shall there be a sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

This press release contains information about the pending offerings of the Notes, and there can be no assurance that any of the offerings will be completed.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the same period included in this offering memorandum, and the section titled “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in the 2018 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this offering memorandum. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this offering memorandum.

Overview

YY is a leading global social media platform, offering users around the world a uniquely engaging and immersive experience across various video-based content categories, such as live streaming, short-form videos and video communication. Our global average mobile MAUs surpassed 400 million in the first quarter of 2019, of which over 75% came from overseas markets. With over 190 million average mobile MAUs engaged with our live streaming, short-form video and other services, and over 210 million average mobile MAUs on our IMO video communication platform, we have truly fostered a virtuous self-reinforcing ecosystem on a global scale.

With our pioneering business model in China, we have accumulated deep expertise in building and operating a vibrant video content ecosystem since our inception in 2005. Foreseeing the massive global opportunities, we began to expand overseas first by investing in Bigo Inc, or Bigo, in 2014, followed by the internationalization of YY Live and Huya, and lately by acquiring Bigo in March 2019. Our business model is not only successful in China, but has also been tested and replicated effectively on a global basis.

We pioneered the live streaming business model that has become widely adopted by leading industry players today, according to the Frost & Sullivan Report. Our business model optimizes the seamless integration of traffic generation, user engagement and monetization. While the basic use of our platforms is currently free to attract traffic, we monetize our user base mainly through virtual tips for live streaming. We believe that we will be able to capitalize on our large and highly engaged user base around the world by enriching our live streaming content categories, exploring additional monetization opportunities and diversifying our main revenue sources, such as advertising.

Our net revenues increased by 47.1% to RMB4,780.6 million (US$712.3 million) in the first quarter of 2019, from RMB3,248.9 million in the first quarter of 2018. Between 2017 and 2018, our net revenues increased by 36.0% from RMB11,594.8 million to RMB15,763.6 million (US$2,292.7 million). Net income attributable to common shareholders of YY Inc. was RMB3,104.3 million (US$462.6 million) in the first quarter of 2019, compared with RMB444.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. Net income attributable to common shareholders of YY Inc. was RMB2,493.2 million in 2017 and RMB1,642.0 million (US$238.8 million) in 2018.

Discussion of Selected Statements of Operations Items

Revenues

Starting from the first quarter of 2018, we re-classified our revenues from live streaming, online games, revenues from memberships, and other revenues (which mainly represented revenues from our online advertising revenues) to the categories of live streaming and other revenues. The revenue presentation for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 has been retrospectively adjusted. Our live streaming revenues primarily comprised of revenues from YY Live, Huya and Bigo Live. Other revenues primarily include advertising revenues, and to a lesser extent revenues from online games, membership, online education, and financing income.

The following table sets forth the principal components of our total net revenues by amount and as a percentage of our total net revenues for the periods presented. Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 include revenues generated by Bigo from March 4, 2019 to March 31, 2019.

Revenues are presented net of rebates and discounts.

Live streaming revenues. We generate live streaming revenues from the sales of in-channel virtual items used on our live streaming platforms, primarily including YY Live, Huya and Bigo Live. Users access content on our platforms free of charge, but are charged for purchases of virtual items.

The most significant factors that directly affect our live streaming revenues include the increase in the number of our paying users and ARPU:

The number of paying users. Excluding the impact of Bigo, we had 6.9 million and 9.5 million paying users in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively, for our live streaming services. We calculate the number of paying users during a given period as the cumulative number of registered user accounts that have purchased virtual items or other products and services on our live streaming platform at least once during the relevant period. We were able to achieve an increase in the number of paying users primarily due to a larger active user base and a higher conversion ratio of active users to paying users, and we expect that the number of our paying users will continue to grow in the future as we expand our services and products offerings and further monetize our existing platform.

ARPU. Excluding the impact of Bigo, our ARPU for live streaming was RMB439.4 and RMB435.4 in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The slight decrease resulted from our rapidly expanding paying user base and the higher contribution of revenues from Huya, which generally had a lower ARPU compared to the YY segment. ARPU is calculated by dividing our total revenues from live streaming during a given period by the number of paying users for our live streaming services for that period. As we begin to generate revenues from an increasing variety of live streaming services, our ARPU may fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of live streaming services purchased by our paying users.

Other significant factors that directly or indirectly affect our live streaming revenues include:

our ability to increase our popularity by offering new and attractive content, products and services that allow us to monetize our live streaming platform;

our ability to attract and retain a large and engaged user base; and

our ability to attract and retain certain popular performers, guilds, professional game playing team and commentators.

We create and offer to users virtual items that can be used on various channels. Users can purchase consumable virtual items from us to show support for their favorite performers or time-based virtual items that provide users with recognized status, such as priority speaking rights or special symbols on the music and entertainment channels.

Other revenues. We generate other revenues mainly from advertising services, and to a lesser extent, our online game business, memberships and other services.

(i) Advertising revenues. Advertising revenues were generated from sales of various forms of advertising and provision of promotion campaigns on our live streaming platforms.

(ii) Online games revenues. We generate online games revenues from the sales of in-game virtual items used for games developed by us or by third parties under revenue-sharing arrangements on our platforms. Users play online games free of charge, but are charged for purchases of virtual items. The online games we currently offer are primarily web games that can be run from an internet browser and require an internet connection to play.

(iii) Membership revenues. We generated membership revenues from the membership subscription fees paid by our users. In our membership program, users pay a flat monthly subscription fee in order to become members, and in exchange, we give them access to various privileges and enhanced features on our channels, including additional video usage, priority entrance to certain live performances, and exclusive rights to access VIP avatars, VIP ring-tones, VIP fonts and VIP emoticons.

(iv) Others. We generated other revenues from our online education and financing business. Online education service consists of vocational training, language training and K-12 afterschool education courses and we generated revenue from course fee. We also generated revenues from financing businesses.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of (i) revenue sharing fees and content costs including payments to various channel owners and performers, and content providers, (ii) bandwidth costs, (iii) salary and welfare, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense for servers, other equipment and intangibles directly related to operating the platform, (v) payment handling costs, (vi) share-based compensation, (vii) other taxes and surcharges, and (viii) other costs. We expect that our cost of revenues will increase in absolute amount as we further grow our user base and expand our revenue-generating services.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of (i) research and development expenses, (ii) sales and marketing expenses, (iii) general and administrative expenses, and (iv) goodwill impairment. The following table sets forth the components of our operating expenses for the years indicated, both in absolute amounts and as percentages of our total net revenues. We expect our operating expenses to generally increase in absolute amount in the near future.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits and share-based compensation expenses for research and development personnel, rental expenses and depreciation of office premises and servers utilized by the research and development personnel. Research and development expenses generally increased in the past three years ended December 31, 2018 and between the three months March 31, 2018 and 2019, due to the need for additional research and development personnel to accommodate the growth of our business, especially the increase in AI-focused research personnel supporting the build-up of our AI capabilities. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute amount since AI technology improvement has become one of our key strategies and we intend to retain existing research and development personnel and also hire new ones to, among other things, develop new series of applications for our platforms, improve technology infrastructure to further enhance user experience, and further develop enhanced features for mobile devices to reach more users. However, we also expect to be able to leverage the expertise of our established research and development team to achieve better efficiency.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of (i) advertising and promotion expenses, and (ii) salary and welfare for sales and marketing personnel. Our sales and marketing expenses generally increased over the past three years ended December 31, 2018 and between the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019, primarily reflecting increased marketing and promotional activities. We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute amount as we expect to increase our spending on promotional activities, particularly relating to the user acquisition for our multi-platform global expansion.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of (i) salary and welfare for general and administrative personnel, (ii) share-based compensation for management and administrative personnel, and (iii) professional service fees. Our general and administrative expenses generally increased over the past three years ended December 31, 2018 and between the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 as our business expanded, primarily due to an increase in the share-based compensation. We expect our general and administrative expenses will generally increase in absolute amount in the near future as our business grows.

Goodwill Impairment

We have noted further impairment indicator for 100 Online as well as impairment indicator for Bilin Online in 2016. Based on the result of the impairment assessment, impairment charges of RMB17.7 million were recognized in 2016. In December 2017, we have identified impairment indicator for a subsidiary. Based on the results of the impairment assessment, an impairment charge of RMB2.5 million for the subsidiary was recognized.

Share-based Compensation Expenses

Our operating expenses include share-based compensation expenses as follows:

	For the Year ended December 31,								For the Three Months ended March 31,

Total		141,392		214,902		573,686		83,439		92,899		167,460		24,952

We grant stock-based award such as, but not limited to, share options, restricted shares, restricted share units and warrants to eligible employees, officers, directors, and non-employee consultants. Awards granted to employees, officers, and directors are initially accounted for as equity-classified awards, which are measured at the grant date fair value of the award and are recognized using the graded vesting method, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Awards granted to non-employees are initially measured at fair value on the grant date and periodically re-measured thereafter until the earlier of the performance commitment date or the date the service is completed and recognized over the period in which the service is provided.

Operating Income

Gain on deconsolidation and disposal of subsidiaries

In June 2016, we disposed 60% of the equity interest in Shanghai Beifu for a consideration of RMB3.5 million, and recognized a loss of RMB23.5 million. After the disposal, we retained 10% of the equity interest in Shanghai Beifu.

From January 1, 2018, revenue presentation has been changed to live streaming and others. We also have retrospectively changed the revenue presentation for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Net revenues

Net revenues increased by 47.1% to RMB4,780.6 million (US$712.3 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB3,248.9 million in the corresponding period of 2018, primarily driven by an increase in live streaming revenues, and the contribution from the consolidation of Bigo segment.

Live streaming. Live streaming revenues increased by 47.9% to RMB4,485.0 million (US$668.3 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB3,032.0 million in the corresponding period of 2018, primarily attributable to the continued live streaming revenues growth in YY and Huya segments and, to a lesser extent, the consolidation of the live streaming revenues of Bigo for most of the month of March 2019.

Other revenues. Other revenues increased by 36.3% to RMB295.6 million (US$44.0 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB216.9 million in the corresponding period of 2018, primarily driven by the increase in advertising revenues from Huya and Bigo segments.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues increased by 56.8% to RMB3,160.3 million (US$470.9 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB2,015.8 million in the corresponding period of 2018, mainly attributable to an increase in revenue-sharing fees and content costs to RMB2,524.7 million(US$376.2 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB1,621.0 million in the corresponding period of 2018. 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 and Huya segments, respectively. Bandwidth costs increased to RMB297.4 million (US$44.3 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB225.4 million in the corresponding period of 2018, primarily reflecting the increase in demands for bandwidth that came with the continued overseas user base expansion.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses were RMB1,215.4 million (US$181.1 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to RMB649.1 million in the corresponding period of 2018.

Research and development. Our research and development expenses increased by 62.2% from RMB249.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to RMB404.7 million (US$60.3 million) in the corresponding period of 2019. This increase was primarily due to increase in staff related expenses for AI research and development personnel.

Sales and marketing. Our sales and marketing expenses increased by 126.7% from RMB235.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to RMB534.2 million (US$79.6 million) in the corresponding period of 2019. This increase was primarily due to increased efforts in sales and marketing activities in overseas markets.

General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased by 68.6% from RMB164.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to RMB276.4 million (US$41.2 million) in the corresponding period of 2019. This increase was primarily due to the increase in staff related expenses for general and administrative personnel.

Other income

Other income increased from RMB12.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to RMB68.7 million (US$10.2 million) in the corresponding period of 2019. Other income primarily consisted of government grants in connection with our contributions to technological research and development, as well as tax refund due to investments in local business districts.

Interest income and investment income

Interest income and investment income increased from RMB92.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to RMB148.3 million (US$22.1 million) in the corresponding period of 2019, primarily because of the issuance of the Series B-2 Preferred Shares and initial public offering of HUYA Inc. in 2018.

Gain on fair value change of investments

Gain on fair value change of investments increased from RMB426.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to RMB2,649.8 million (US$394.8 million) in the corresponding period of 2019, primarily due to remeasurement gain of our previously held interests in Bigo.

Income tax expense

We recorded income tax expenses of RMB124.0 million (US$18.5 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to RMB148.2 million in the corresponding period of 2018. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2019 was significantly impacted by the gain on fair value change of investment in Bigo, as it was non-taxable for income tax purpose.

Net income

As a result of the foregoing, we had a net income attributable to common shareholders of YY Inc. of RMB3,104.3 million (US$462.6 million) in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to a net income attributable to common shareholders of YY Inc. of RMB444.1 million in the corresponding period of 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In recent years, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, the proceeds from our initial public offering in November 2012, the proceeds from our convertible senior notes offering in March 2014 and the proceeds from our follow-on offering in August 2017. We expect to require cash to fund our ongoing operational needs, particularly our revenue sharing fees and content costs, salaries and benefits, bandwidth costs and potential acquisitions or strategic investments. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and the anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures needs for the next 12 months. However, we may require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to selectively pursue. If our existing cash resources are insufficient to meet our requirements, we may seek to sell equity or equity-linked securities, debt securities or borrow from banks.

In March 2014, we issued an aggregate of US$400.0 million 2.25% convertible senior notes due in 2019. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes were US$390.8 million. The notes bore interest at a rate of 2.25% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and such notes matured on April 1, 2019. On April 1, 2017, we repurchased for cash the notes of an aggregate principal amount of US$399.0 million. As of the date of this offering memorandum, no principal amount of the notes remain outstanding.

On January 19, 2017, we entered into a loan agreement with a bank, pursuant to which we borrowed a loan with a principal amount of US$30 million. The annualized interest rate of the loan is 3-month LIBOR plus 1.5%, accruing from draw-down. The draw-down of US$30 million took place on March 8, 2017 and have been repaid on March 1, 2018. Term deposit of RMB500 million was pledged as collateral for the loan until March 13, 2018.

On February 17, 2017, we entered into a loan agreement with a bank, pursuant to which we borrowed a loan with a total principal amount of US$60 million. The annualized interest rate of the loan is 3-month LIBOR, accruing from draw-down. The first draw-down of US$45 million took place on March 21, 2017 and the second draw-down of US$15 million took place on March 30, 2017. The loan shall be repaid before February 9, 2018. Term deposit of RMB500 million was pledged as collateral for the loan until February 23, 2018. On February 9, 2018, we repaid the loan with a total amount of US$60 million.

On February 28, 2019, we entered into a facility agreement with Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, or Goldman Sachs. Subject to the terms of this agreement, Goldman Sachs agreed to make available to us a U.S. dollar term loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to US$100.25 million. In March 2019, we borrowed a loan amounting to US$100.25 million under this facility agreement. In April 2019, we have fully repaid such loan.

On May 16, 2017, HUYA Inc. entered into a series A preferred shares subscription agreement with its series A investors and pursuant to which, HUYA Inc. issued 22,058,823 series A preferred shares of HUYA Inc. at a price of US$3.4 per share for an aggregate consideration of US$75 million (equivalent to RMB509.7 million as of the issuance date). The issuance of the series A preferred shares was completed on July 10, 2017.

On August 21, 2017, we completed a secondary offering and received US$442.2 million in net proceeds, after deducting commissions and offering expenses.

On March 8, 2018, HUYA Inc. issued 64,488,235 shares of Series B-2 redeemable convertible preferred shares at a price of US$7.16 per share for cash consideration of US$461.6 million to Linen Investment Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tencent Holdings Limited.

In May 2018, HUYA Inc., our majority-controlled subsidiary, successfully completed its initial public offering of 17,250,000 ADSs at a price of US$12.0 per ADS, including 2,250,000 ADSs offered pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment options. Each HUYA Inc. ADS represents one Class A ordinary share of HUYA Inc. HUYA Inc. received net proceeds of US$190.1 million.

In March 2019, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 68.3% of equity interest in Bigo from the other shareholders of Bigo, including Mr. David Xueling Li, our chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer. Pursuant to the agreement, we paid US$343.1 million in cash and issued 38,326,579 Class B common shares and 305,127,046 Class A common shares to the selling shareholders of Bigo.

In April 2019, HUYA Inc. successfully completed a follow-on public offering, issuing 13,600,000 ADSs at a price of US$24.00 per ADS. We, as a selling shareholder, participated in the follow-on public offering and offered 4,800,000 ADSs. HUYA and we raised from such public offering approximately US$313.8 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting commissions and the offering expenses payable.

As of December 31, 2016, 2017, 2018 and March 31, 2019, we had RMB1,579.7 million, RMB3,617.4 million, RMB6,004.2 million (US$873.3 million) and RMB9,837.3 million (US$1,465.8 million), respectively, in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

As of March 31, 2019, our subsidiaries, VIEs, and VIE’s subsidiaries located in the PRC held cash and cash equivalents in the amount of RMB6,458.0 million (US$962.3 million). Aggregate undistributed earnings and reserves of our subsidiaries, VIEs, and VIE’s subsidiaries located in the PRC that are available for distribution to our company as of March 31, 2019 was RMB12,635.7 million (US$1,882.8 million). We would need to accrue and pay withholding taxes if we were to distribute funds from our subsidiaries in the PRC to our offshore subsidiaries. We do not intend to repatriate such funds in the foreseeable future, as we plan to use existing cash balance in the PRC for general corporate purposes.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in or generated from operating activities consists primarily of our net income mitigated by non-cash adjustments, such as share-based compensation, depreciation of property and equipment and deferred taxes, and adjusted by changes in operating assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable, prepayments and other assets, account payables, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue.

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to RMB966.1 million (US$143.9 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2019. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the difference between our net cash provided by operating activities and our net income of RMB3,150.0 million (US$469.4 million) was primarily due to a non-cash item adjustment in fair value change of long-term investments of RMB2,649.8 million (US$394.8 million) and a decrease in accrued liabilities and other payables of RMB167.5 million (US$25.0 million), partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of RMB227.5 million (US$33.9 million), a non-cash item adjustment in share-based compensation of RMB181.8 million (US$27.1 million), a decrease in prepayments and other current assets of RMB117.6 million (US$17.5 million) and a non-cash item adjustment in amortization of acquired intangible assets and land use rights of RMB82.9 million (US$12.4 million).

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities largely reflects placements of short-term deposits, purchases of property and equipment and other non-current assets in connection with the expansion and upgrade of our technology infrastructure, and our acquisitions of and investments in certain companies.

Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to RMB1,502.7 million (US$223.9 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net cash provided by investing activities primarily resulted from maturities of short-term deposit of RMB6,065.3 million (US$903.8 million), partially offset by placements of short-term deposits of RMB2,760.2 million (US$411.3 million) and acquisition of businesses, net of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash acquired, of RMB1,387.8 million (US$206.8 million). The increase in cash provided by investing activities was mainly due to the maturities of short-term deposits.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was RMB1,379.0 million (US$205.5 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily attributable to proceeds from bank borrowings.

Capital Expenditures

We made capital expenditures of RMB86.6 million (US$12.9 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019. Our capital expenditures are primarily used to purchase office space, computers, servers, office furniture, operating rights, domain names and other assets.

Contractual Obligations

The following sets forth our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2019:

	Payments due by period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1 - 2 years		3 - 5 years		More than 5 years

(1)

Operating lease obligations refer to the lease of offices under operating lease agreements, where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease, including any free lease periods.

Principal accounting policies

(a)

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the newly adopted leasing standard. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of results for the periods presented, have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any other interim period.

The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts reported therein. A change in facts or circumstances surrounding the estimate could result in a change to estimates and impact future operating results.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2018. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

(b)

Consolidation

The Group’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs for which the Company or its subsidiary is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation.

A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting powers; or has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors; or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

A VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiary, through contractual agreements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore the Company or its subsidiary is the primary beneficiary of the entity. In determining whether the Company or its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary, the Company considered whether it has the power to direct activities that are significant to the VIEs economic performance, and also the Company’s obligation to absorb losses of the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Beijing Huanju Shidai, Bilin Changxiang Information Technology Co., Ltd., Huya Technology, Guangzhou 100 Education Technology Co., Ltd., BaiGuoYuan Technology and ultimately the Company hold all the variable interests of the VIEs and have been determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIEs.

Convenience translation

Translations of amounts from RMB into US$ for the convenience of the reader were calculated at the noon buying rate of US$1.00 = RMB 6.7112 on March 29, 2019 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at such rate.

(d)

Cash and cash equivalents

As of March 31, 2019, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash presented in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows is 9,837,268, including cash and cash equivalents of RMB8,936,229, restricted cash and cash equivalents of RMB263,132 and restricted short-term deposits of RMB637,907 on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet, respectively.

(e)

Leasing

The Group leases facilities in the PRC under non-cancellable operating leases expiring on different dates. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) “Leases” using the optional transition method. Results and disclosure requirements for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under Topic 840. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company determines whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time by assessing whether the Company has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

The only major impact of the adoption of the standard is that assets and liabilities amounting to RMB145.2 million and RMB141.2 million, respectively, are recognized beginning January 1, 2019 for leased office space with terms of more than 12 months. The Company accounts for short-term leases with terms less than 12 months in accordance with ASC 842-20-25-2 to recognize the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current lease liabilities and non-current lease liabilities on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(i) Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. Amortization of the right-of-use assets is made over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. The weighted average lease terms of the right-of-use assets was 3.22 years.

(ii) Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities are lessees’ obligations to make the lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis.

As a lessee, the discount rate for the lease is the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined. In that case, the lessee is required to use its incremental borrowing rate. A weighted average incremental borrowing rate of 4.94% was adopted at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, operating lease cost and short-term lease cost were RMB16,838 and RMB818, respectively. There were no other lease cost other than operating lease cost and short-term lease cost for the three months ended March 31, 2019. For the 3 months ended March 31, 2019, cash paid for operating leases included in operating cash flows was RMB26,349.

The Group grants stock-based award, such as, but not limited to, share options, restricted shares, restricted share units of the Company, share option, restricted share units and ordinary shares of the Company’s subsidiaries to eligible employees, officers, directors, and non-employee consultants.

The Group’s share-based awards mainly include share-based awards of YY as well as share-based awards of Huya.

Upon the acquisition of Bigo, Class A common shares are issued for the replacement awards to Bigo’s employees to replace their original share-based awards, namely restricted shares. In determining the fair value of restricted share granted to Bigo’s employees, the fair value of the underlying shares of YY on the grant dates is applied. The grant date fair value of restricted share is based on stock price of YY in the NASDAQ Global Market.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in businesses activities for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Group’s chief operating decision makers (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Group’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews segment results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13: Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this standard will remove, modify and add certain disclosures under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, with the objective of improving disclosure effectiveness. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for the Group’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The transition requirements are dependent upon each amendment within this update and will be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect ASU 2018-13 to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business combination

Acquisition of Bigo

Immediately prior to this acquisition, the Company held 31.7% of equity interest of Bigo, a company which is primarily engaged in the video and audio broadcast business through its live-streaming applications and platforms all over the world. The Company had a contingent redemption right on its investment in Bigo, therefore the interest held by the Company did not meet the definition of in-substance common stock under ASC 323. As the investment in Bigo did not have readily determinable fair value, it was accounted for as an investment at cost less impairments, adjusted by observable price changes.

In February 2019, the Group entered into a share purchase agreement with Bigo and its shareholders. Under the agreement, the Group agreed to purchase all outstanding shares of Bigo that were not already owned by the Group. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid US$343.1 million in cash and issued 305,127,046 Class A common shares and 38,326,579 Class B common shares of the Company to Bigo’s other shareholders. In addition, the Company has also issued 8,761,450 Class A common shares for future grants to employees as share-based awards. The acquisition was completed on March 4, 2019. The Group believed that the acquisition of Bigo helped the Group create enhanced live streaming content, expand global footprint and offer world-class user experiences for global user community. Upon the completion of the acquisition, Bigo became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group.

The following table summarizes the components of the purchase consideration transferred based on the closing price of the Company’s common share as of the acquisition date:

	As of acquisition date
	RMB

Cash		2,300,196
Fair value of common shares issued		7,704,420
Fair value of previously held equity interest in Bigo		5,697,154
Elimination of preexisting amounts due from Bigo		323,002
Total consideration		16,024,772

The fair value of common shares issued above does not include post-acquisition share-based compensation amounting to RMB590,346. Out of the 305,127,046 Class A common shares issued, 38,042,760 shares are for the replacement awards to Bigo’s employees to replace their original share-based awards. The post-acquisition share-based compensation of RMB590,346 are share-based compensation subject to continuous employment and will be recognized as share-based compensation expenses over the remaining required service period.

Immediately before the acquisition, the amounts due from Bigo to the Company amounted to RMB323,002. This amount due from Bigo was effectively eliminated upon the acquisition. The amount of the preexisting amounts due from Bigo of RMB323,002 was included as part of the consideration.

In accordance with ASC 805, the Company’s previously held equity interest in Bigo was remeasured to fair value on the acquisition date, and a re-measurement gain of RMB2,669,334 was recognized as gain on fair value changes of investments. Acquisition-related costs of RMB27,162 was recognized as general and administrative expenses.

Certified High and New Technology Enterprises (“HNTE”) are entitled to a favorable statutory tax rate of 15%, but need to re-apply every three years. During this three-year period, an HNTE must conduct a qualification self-review each year to ensure it meets the HNTE criteria and is eligible for the 15% preferential tax rate for that year. If an HNTE fails to meet the criteria for qualification as an HNTE in any year, the enterprise cannot enjoy the 15% preferential tax rate in that year, and must instead use the regular 25% EIT rate.

Enterprises qualified as software enterprises can enjoy an income tax exemption for two years beginning with their first profitable year and a 50% tax reduction to the applicable tax rate for the subsequent three years. An entity that qualifies as a “Key National Software Enterprise” (a “KNSE”) is entitled to a further reduced preferential income tax rate of 10%. Enterprises wishing to enjoy the status of a Software Enterprise or a KNSE must perform a self-assessment each year to ensure they meet the criteria for qualification. These enterprises will be subject to the tax authorities’ assessment each year as to whether they are entitled to use the relevant preferential EIT treatments. If at any time during the preferential tax treatment years an enterprise uses the preferential EIT rates but the relevant authorities determine that it fails to meet applicable criteria for qualification, the relevant authorities may revoke the enterprise’s Software Enterprise/KNSE status.

Income tax (continued)

(v) PRC (continued)

The EIT Law also provides that an enterprise established under the laws of a foreign country or region but whose “de facto management body” is located in the PRC be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes and consequently be subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% for its global income. The Implementing Rules of the EIT Law merely define the location of the “de facto management body” as “the place where the exercising, in substance, of the overall management and control of the production and business operation, personnel, accounting, properties, etc., of a non-PRC company is located”. Based on a review of surrounding facts and circumstances, the Group does not believe that it is likely that its entities registered outside of the PRC should be considered as resident enterprises for the PRC tax purposes.

The Group’s PRC entities provided for enterprise income tax are as follows:

Guangzhou Huaduo applied for the renewal of HNTE qualification and received approval in December 2016. Guangzhou Huaduo is entitled to continue to enjoy the beneficial tax rate of 15% as an HNTE for the years 2016 through 2018, and will need to re-apply for HNTE qualification renewal in 2019. In 2019, Guangzhou Huaduo is expected to enjoy the beneficial tax rate of 15% based on its self-assessment.

In 2018, Guangzhou Huanju Shidai was qualified as a KNSE after the relevant government authorities’ assessment and was entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 10%. In 2019, Guangzhou Huanju Shidai is expected to enjoy a reduced tax rate of 10% based on its self-assessment.

In June 2017, Guangzhou Juhui Information Technology Co., Ltd. was qualified as a Software Enterprise, and started to enjoy the zero preferential tax rate beginning from 2016 and 12.5% preferential tax rate beginning from 2018.

Huya Technology was qualified as a Software Enterprise, and started to enjoy the zero preferential tax rate starting from 2017 and 12.5% preferential tax rate starting from 2019.

Guangzhou Huya applied for the HNTE qualification and received approval in November 2018. Guangzhou Huya is entitled to enjoy the preferential tax rate of 15% as an HNTE for three years starting from 2018, and will need to apply for HNTE qualification renewal in 2021.

Guangzhou BaiGuoYuan applied for the HNTE and received approval in December 2016. Guangzhou BaiGuoYuan is entitled to enjoy the beneficial tax rate of 15% as an HNTE for the years 2016 through 2018, and will need to re-apply for HNTE qualification renewal in 2019. In 2019, Guangzhou BaiGuoYuan is expected to enjoy the beneficial tax rate of 15% based on its self-assessment.

BaiGuoYuan Technology applied for the HNTE and received approval in 2018. BaiGuoYuan Technology are entitled to enjoy the beneficial tax rate of 15% as HNTEs for the years 2018 through 2020, and will need to re-apply for HNTE qualification renewal in 2021.

Other PRC subsidiaries and VIEs were subject to 25% EIT for the periods reported.

According to a policy promulgated by the State Tax Bureau of the PRC and effective from 2008 onwards, enterprises engaged in research and development activities are entitled to claim an additional tax deduction amounting to 50% of the qualified research and development expenses incurred in determining its tax assessable profits for that year. The additional tax deducting amount of the qualified research and development expenses have been increased from 50% to 75%, effective from 2018 to 2020, according to a new tax incentives policy promulgated by the State Tax Bureau of the PRC in September 2018 (“Super Deduction”).

Certain subsidiaries and VIEs of the Group successfully claimed the Super Deduction in ascertaining the tax assessable profits for the periods reported.

Income tax (continued)

(v) PRC (continued)

The EIT Law also imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by an FIE to its immediate holding company outside of China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within China, unless such immediate holding company’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. The Cayman Islands, where the Company incorporated, does not have such tax treaty with China. According to the arrangement between the mainland China and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion in August 2006, dividends paid by an FIE in China to its immediate holding company in Hong Kong will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of no more than 5% (if the foreign investor owns directly at least 25% of the shares of the FIE). In accordance with accounting guidance, all undistributed earnings are presumed to be transferred to the parent company and are subject to the withholding taxes. All FIEs are subject to the withholding tax from January 1, 2008. The presumption may be overcome if the Group has sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the undistributed dividends will be re-invested and the remittance of the dividends will be postponed indefinitely.

Aggregate undistributed earnings and reserves of the Group entities located in the PRC that are available for distribution to the Company as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 are approximately RMB11,519,699 and RMB12,635,662, respectively.

The Group has a plan to indefinitely reinvest its funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of its business. Accordingly, no deferred tax liability on 10% withholding tax of aggregate undistributed earnings and reserves of the Company’s subsidiaries located in the PRC has been accrued that would be payable upon the distribution of those amounts to the Company as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019.

(a) The income before tax incurred by non-PRC entities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was mainly due the Company’s previously held equity interest in Bigo which was re-measured to fair value on the acquisition date, and a re-measurement gain of RMB2,669,334 was recognized as gain on fair value changes of investments. This fair value gain was incurred by Duowan BVI whose applicable tax rate is zero.

Share-based compensation

Under the Company’s 2011 Share Incentive Scheme, the Company granted restricted share units and share options to its employees. Besides, Huya granted restricted share units and share options to its employees under Huya’s 2017 Share Incentive Plan, details of which were disclosed in the company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the three month ended March 31, 2019, the new grants of share-based awards under the Company’s 2011 Share Incentive Scheme and Huya’s 2017 Share Incentive Plan were immaterial. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded share-based compensation of RMB139,788 using the graded-vesting attribution method for the Company’s share-based awards other than those granted to Bigo’s employees, which is discussed below.

In connection with the acquisition of Bigo in March 2019, the Group granted replacement awards to Bigo’s employees covering Bigo’s original share incentive scheme. These awards are included in the Company‘s 2011 Share Incentive Scheme.

There are mainly three types of vesting schedule under Bigo’s original share incentive scheme, which are: i) 50% of the share-based awards will be vested after 24 months of the grant date and the remaining 50% will be vested in two equal installments over the following 24 months, ii) share-based awards will be vested in four equal installments over the following 48 months, and iii). share-based awards will be vested in three equal installments over the following 36 months. After the acquisition, Bigo’s original share incentive scheme are replaced by YY’s restricted shares without change in vesting terms. The post-acquisition share-based compensation expenses are recognized over the remaining vesting period after the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the restricted shares activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

	Number of restricted shares			Weighted average grant-date fair value (US$)

Outstanding, December 31, 2018		-			-

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded share-based compensation for restricted shares granted to Bigo’s employees of RMB41,981 using the graded-vesting attribution method. As of March 31, 2019, total unrecognized compensation expense relating to the restricted shares granted to Bigo’s employees was RMB501,774. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.83 years using the graded-vesting attribution method.

Fair value measurements

Fair value reflects the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the assets or liabilities.

The Group applies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques, which is based on whether the inputs into the valuation technique are observable or unobservable. The hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1—Valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are identical to the assets or liabilities being measured.

Level 2—Valuation techniques in which significant inputs include quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are similar to the assets or liabilities being measured and/or quoted prices for assets or liabilities that are identical or similar to the assets or liabilities being measured from markets that are not active. Also, model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets are Level 2 valuation techniques.

Level 3—Valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique inputs that reflect the Group’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair value guidance describes three main approaches to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

When available, the Group uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Group will measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates.

The Group did not have any other financial instruments that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 except for short-term investments and equity investment with readily determinable fair values.

Fair value measurements (continued)

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019:

	As of December 31, 2018
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Assets
Short-term investments (i)		78,605		900,448		-		979,053

		206,631		1,267,832		-		1,474,463

(i)

Short-term investments represented the investments issued by commercial banks or other financial institutions with a variable interest rate indexed to the performance of underlying assets within one year. For the instruments whose fair value is provided by banks at the end of each period, the Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 1 of fair value measurements. For the instruments whose fair value is estimated based on quoted prices of similar products provided by banks at the end of each period, the Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 2 of fair value measurements.

(ii)

Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are valued using the market approach based on the quoted prices in active markets at the reporting date. The Group classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 1 of fair value measurements.

Fair value measurements (continued)

Fair value measurement on a non-recurring basis

The Company measures investments without readily determinable fair value on a nonrecurring basis when impairment charges and fair value change due to observable price change are recognized. These nonrecurring fair value measurements use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company uses a combination of valuation methodologies, including market and income approaches based on the Company’s best estimate to determine the fair value of these investments. An observable price change is usually resulting from new rounds of financing of the investees. The Company determines whether the securities offered in new rounds of financing are similar to the equity securities held by the Company by comparing the rights and obligations of the securities. When the securities offered in new rounds of financing are determined to be similar to the securities held by the Company, the Company adjusts the observable price of the similar security to determine the amount that should be recorded as an adjustment in the carrying value of the security to reflect the current fair value of the security held by the Company by using the back-solve method based on the equity allocation model with adoption of some key parameters such as risk-free rate and equity volatility. Inputs used in these methodologies primarily include discount rate, the selection of comparable companies operating in similar businesses and etc. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s previously held equity interest in Bigo was re-measured to fair value on the acquisition date, and a re-measurement gain of RMB2,669,334 was recognized as gain on fair value changes of investments.

Apart from the short-term investments, equity investment measured at fair value through earnings, the Company’s other financial instruments principally consist of cash and cash equivalent, short-term deposits, long-term deposits, accounts receivable, financing receivables, other receivables, amounts due to/from related parties, accounts payable, certain accrued expenses and convertible bonds. The recorded values of cash, short-term deposits, long-term deposits, accounts receivable, financing receivables, other receivables, amounts due to/from related parties, accounts payable, certain accrued expenses and convertible bonds are recorded at cost which approximates fair value. The fair value of convertible bonds is within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The operating lease commitments as of March 31, 2019, presented above mainly consist of the short-term lease commitments and leases that have not yet commenced but that create significant rights and obligations for the Company, which are not included in operating lease right-of–use assets and lease liabilities.

(b)

Capital commitments

As of March 31, 2019, the Group had outstanding capital commitments totaling RMB94,815 which consisted of capital expenditures related to properties and additional investments in equity investments.

(c)

Litigation

(i) In October 2014, Guangzhou NetEase Computer System Co., Ltd. (“Guangzhou NetEase”) brought a copyright infringement claim against the Group in the Intermediate People’s Court of Guangzhou, alleging that the Group’s live game broadcasting program has infringed the copyright of one of their online games called Fantasy Westward Journey. The claimant is seeking RMB100 million for their potential damages, requesting YY to cease the copyright infringement practices and apologize publicly.

In November 2017, the local court passed a judgment requesting the Company to compensate such game publisher for its loss amounting to RMB20 million, as a result of the alleged copyright infringement. Based on its estimate as of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an estimated loss contingency of RMB20 million in its financial statements. Up to the date of this report, there has been no judgment from the appellate court yet and the Group’s estimate on the loss contingency remained the same as last year.

(ii) A majority of the Group’s corporate loan business was in the form of sale-and-leaseback arrangements, under which the Group purchases equipment from third party companies and lease back the equipment to the third party companies. In January 2019, one of the lessees was unable to repay the principal amount of around RMB15 million due in January 2019. The total financing receivable due from this lessee was RMB195 million as of March 31, 2019. The Group has brought a lawsuit against this lessee to the court, claiming the lessee to repay all the outstanding amount due to the Group. The court session has not been open up to the date of this report. Pursuant to the finance lease agreement, the legal titles of the equipment purchased by the Group have been transferred to the Group and the fair value of the equipment exceeds the total financing receivable due from the lessee. The Group also pledged or applied to the court to preserve certain assets of the lessee or the lessee’s related entity. The Group believed that the financing receivable due from the lessee can be recovered based on the measures taken and therefore no loss allowance was provided against the receivable. The financing receivable was placed on non-accrual status after the lessee was unable to repay the principal due in January 2019.

Segment Reporting

There are two segments in the Group, including YY Live and Huya for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Starting from the first quarter of 2019, the segment of “YY Live” was renamed as “YY”. The Company completed the acquisition of Bigo in March 2019, which is a separate segment of the Group. Therefore, there are three segments in the Group for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The Group currently does not allocate assets to all of its segments, as its CODM does not use such information to allocate resources or evaluate the performance of the operating segments.

Exhibit 99.4

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In June 2018, we invested US$272 million in the Series D round of financing of Bigo as the lead investor. We were then an existing shareholder of Bigo and had become its largest shareholder after the Series D financing. In March 2019, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 68.3% of equity interest in Bigo from the other shareholders of Bigo, or the Acquisition, including Mr. David Xueling Li, our chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer. Pursuant to the agreement, we paid US$343.1 million in cash and issued 38,326,579 Class B common shares and 305,127,046 Class A common shares to the selling shareholders of Bigo.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, or the Pro Forma Financial Statements, are based on YY’s and Bigo’s historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (ii) expected to have a continuing impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations, and (iii) factually supportable. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three months ended March 31, 2019 give effect to the pro forma events as if it had been completed by January 1, 2018. The condensed consolidated statements of operations of Bigo for the period from January 1, 2019 to March 4, 2019 has not been audited or reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP. A pro forma consolidated balance sheet has not been provided as the acquisition has been reflected in YY’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income (i) is presented based on information currently available, (ii) is intended for informational purposes only, and (iii) does not reflect all actions that may be undertaken by us after the Acquisition.

While the Pro Forma Financial Statements are helpful in showing the financial characteristics of the consolidated companies, it is not intended to show how the consolidated companies would have actually performed if the events described above had in fact occurred on the dates acquired or to project the results of operations or financial position for any future date or period. We have included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary of a fair presentation of the operating results in the historical periods. We believe that the assumptions utilized to prepare the pro forma adjustments provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions and that the Pro Forma Financial Statements are factually supportable, give appropriate effect to the impact of the events that are directly attributable to the transactions, and reflect those items expected to have a continuing impact on our financial condition.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the Pro Forma Financial Statements, our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto of YY and Bigo included elsewhere in this offering memorandum and the 2018 Annual Report incorporated by reference herein, along with “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations.”
