      GUANGZHOU, China, May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HUYA Inc. ("Huya" or the "Company") (NYSE: HUYA), a leading game live streaming platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

      First Quarter 2024 Highlights[1]

      • Total net revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were RMB1,504.0 million (US$208.3 million), compared with RMB1,962.5 million for the same period of 2023.
      • Net income attributable to HUYA Inc. was RMB71.0 million (US$9.8 million) for the first quarter of 2024, compared with RMB39.6 million for the same period of 2023.
      • Non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc.[2] was RMB92.5 million (US$12.8 million) for the first quarter of 2024, compared with RMB85.1 million for the same period of 2023.
      • Average mobile MAUs[3] of Huya Live for the first quarter of 2024 was 82.6 million, compared with 82.1 million for the same period of 2023.

      Mr. Junhong Huang, Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Huya, commented, "In the first quarter of 2024, strong strategic execution delivered advancements across the board as we navigated an evolving industry environment. We upgraded the Huya Live mobile application and held an array of innovative cross-platform e-sports events and operational activities, further enhancing our content influence and brand awareness. As a result, Huya Live's average mobile MAUs grew marginally year-over-year to 82.6 million in the first quarter. Furthermore, we made encouraging progress in the commercialization of our game-related services. Rapid growth in revenues from game distribution and advertising services, as well as in-game item sales, drove our game-related services, advertising and other revenues for the first quarter to RMB243.6 million, a year-over-year increase of 137.6% and a quarter-over-quarter increase of 30.7%. Moreover, paying users[4] on Huya Live increased sequentially to 4.4 million in the quarter. These improvements reflect a strong base of high-value gamer users and a potential validation of our new direction. More importantly, we are seeing that our game-related services business tends to have a higher gross margin, driving an overall profitability enhancement. As we move through 2024, we will continue to address changes in user demand and industry dynamics with upgrades across content, platform ecology, technology, products and commercialization methods, as well as deepened cooperation with industry partners and content creators. We remain dedicated to seizing opportunities and delivering future business growth."

      Ms. Ashley Xin Wu, Huya's Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance, continued, "Our total net revenues for the first quarter were approximately RMB1.5 billion, with revenues from our game-related services, advertising and other businesses accounting for 16.2% of total net revenues, up from 5.2% for the same period last year. The growing revenue contribution from businesses with higher gross margins and our continued cost optimization efforts drove an increase in our gross margin to 14.7% for the first quarter. We also reduced total operating expenses by 17.8% year-over-year through further operational efficiency enhancements. Furthermore, we continued to return value to shareholders. As of the end of March 2024, we had repurchased US$48.5 million of Huya shares through our share repurchase program. We also announced a special cash dividend declaration totaling approximately US$150 million in March 2024. These initiatives are expected to return an aggregate value of nearly US$200 million to our shareholders. Going forward, we will remain focused on enhancing our financial and operational performance while building long-term shareholder value."

      [1] In December 2023, the Company acquired a global mobile application service provider from Tencent Holdings Limited for an aggregate cash consideration of US$81 million, the principal terms of which were previously disclosed. As a result of this business combination under common control, in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company has consolidated the financial results of this mobile application service provider on a retrospective basis since the first quarter of 2022. Accordingly, retrospective adjustments have been made to the Company's consolidated historical financial information presented herein, reflecting the consolidation of this mobile application service provider. The Company does not believe the retrospective adjustments to the Company's results to be material, as compared to the historical financial information previously presented. Given that this was a transaction that involved entities under common control of Tencent Holdings Limited, all assets and assumed liabilities transferred have been recognized at the historical cost of the parent.

      [2] "Non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc." is defined as net income attributable to HUYA Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable. For more information, please refer to the section titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the table captioned "HUYA Inc. Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release.

      [3] Refers to average monthly active users on mobile apps. Average mobile MAUs for any period is calculated by dividing (i) the sum of active users on the mobile apps for each month during such relevant period, by (ii) the number of months during such relevant period.

      [4] Refers to the sum of user accounts that purchased various products and services on the Company's platform at least once during such relevant period.

      Live streaming revenues were RMB1,260.4 million (US$174.6 million) for the first quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1,859.9 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to the continued soft macroeconomic and industry environment and the Company's proactive business adjustments in support of its strategic transformation and prudent operations.

      Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 26.2% to RMB76.2 million (US$10.6 million) for the first quarter of 2024 from RMB103.3 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased marketing and promotion fees, as well as personnel-related expenses.

      General and administrative expenses decreased by 18.3% to RMB60.0 million (US$8.3 million) for the first quarter of 2024 from RMB73.5 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased share-based compensation expenses.

      Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), except that the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity, consolidated statements of cash flows, and the detailed notes have not been presented. Huya uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HUYA Inc., non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary shares, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ADS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation expenses allocated in cost of revenues. Non-GAAP operating loss is operating loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HUYA Inc. is net income (loss) attributable to HUYA Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment of goodwill and investments, and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable. Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders is net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment of goodwill and investments, and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ADS is non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of ADS used in the calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ADS. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the impact of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment of goodwill and investments, and (iii) amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions (net of income taxes), add 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 measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures represent useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of (i) share-based compensation expenses, and (ii) amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions (net of income taxes), which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business, and (iii) impairment of goodwill and investments, which may recur when there is observable price change in the future. 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 a non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

      The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "HUYA Inc. Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this announcement.
