      FY2025 Management Discussion and Analysis

      Revenues from VAS increased by 16% year-on-year to RMB369.3 billion for the year ended 31 December 2025. Domestic Games revenues were RMB164.2 billion, up 18% year-on-year, underpinned by robust performance of recently released Delta Force, as well as higher revenues from evergreen games[3] such as Honour of Kings and Peacekeeper Elite, and from VALORANT franchise (PC and mobile). International Games revenues were RMB77.4 billion, up 33% year-on-year (32% on a constant-currency basis), reflecting higher revenues from Supercell's games and PUBG MOBILE, as well as incremental revenue contribution from Wuthering Waves. Social Networks revenues rose by 5% year-on-year to RMB127.7 billion, due to growth in Video Accounts live streaming revenue, music subscription revenue and app-based game virtual item sales.

      Revenues from Marketing Services increased by 19% year-on-year to RMB145.0 billion for the year ended 31 December 2025, primarily driven by growth in pricing and ad impressions. Pricing benefitted from AI-powered ad targeting, advertisers using AI to create more ads, and an increasing proportion of closed-loop ads (where the user clicks through to native transactional experiences, such as Mini Programs, Mini Shops, or Mini Games). Impression growth benefitted primarily from greater user engagement with products including Video Accounts and Weixin Search, and modest increases in ad load. Advertising spending grew across most major industry categories during the year.

      Revenues from FinTech and Business Services grew by 8% year-on-year to RMB229.4 billion for the year ended 31 December 2025. FinTech Services revenues increased at a high single-digit rate year-on-year, due to higher revenues from wealth management services, consumer loan services, and commercial payment activities. Business Services revenues rose by a high-teens rate year-on-year, reflecting increased domestic and international demand for cloud services, including demand for AI-related services, as well as higher eCommerce technology service fees, underpinned by growth in Mini Shops GMV.

      Non-IFRS Financial Measures

      To supplement the consolidated results of the Group ("the Company and its subsidiaries") prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain additional non-IFRS financial measures (in terms of operating profit, operating margin, profit for the period, profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, basic EPS and diluted EPS) have been presented in this press release. These unaudited non-IFRS financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of the Group's financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, these non-IFRS financial measures may be defined differently from similar terms used by other companies.

      The Company's management believes that the non-IFRS financial measures provide investors with useful supplementary information to assess the performance of the Group's core operations by excluding certain non-cash items and certain impact of investment-related transactions. In addition, non-IFRS adjustments include relevant non-IFRS adjustments for the Group's major associates based on available published financials of the relevant major associates, or estimates made by the Company's management based on available information, certain expectations, assumptions and premises.

These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to the Group and are stated herein on the basis of the outlook at the time of this press release. They are based on certain expectations, assumptions and premises, some of which are subjective or beyond our control. These forward-looking statements may prove to be incorrect and may not be realised in the future. Underlying these forward-looking statements are a lot of risks and uncertainties.
