      BEIJING, May 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Momo Inc. (NASDAQ: MOMO) ("Momo" or the "Company"), a leading mobile social networking platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2019.

      First Quarter of 2019 Highlights

      • Net revenues increased 35% year over year to RMB3,722.9 million (US$554.7 million*) in the first quarter of 2019.
      • Net income attributable to Momo Inc. decreased to RMB289.3 million (US$43.1 million) in the first quarter of 2019 from RMB825.2 million in the same period of 2018, which was mainly due to the fact that we recognized a total share-based compensation expense of RMB593.1 million (US$88.4 million) in the first quarter of 2019 including a share-based compensation expense of RMB466.9 million (US$69.6 million) regarding to certain share options granted to Tantan's founders, while the total share-based compensation expense recognized in the same period of 2018 was only RMB78.7 million. In August 2018, Tantan Limited granted 3,578,205 share options to its founders. The share options included a performance condition in which the founders have the right to receive fully vested options immediately upon achieving certain performance condition. During the first quarter of 2019, we determined that it became probable that the performance condition will be met and accordingly, recognized a share-based compensation expense of RMB466.9 million (US$69.6 million) related to those options.
      • Non-GAAP net income attributable to Momo Inc. (note 1) increased slightly to RMB910.3 million (US$135.6 million) in the first quarter of 2019 from RMB903.8 million in the same period of 2018.
      • Diluted net income per American Depositary Share ("ADS") was RMB1.36 (US$0.20) in the first quarter of 2019, compared to RMB3.98 in the same period of 2018.
      • Non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS (note 1) was RMB4.15 (US$0.62) in the first quarter of 2019, compared to RMB4.36 in the same period of 2018.
      • Monthly Active Users ("MAU") on Momo application were 114.4 million in March 2019, compared to 103.3 million in March 2018.
      • Total paying users of our live video service and value-added service, without double counting the overlap, including 5.0 million paying users of Tantan Limited ("Tantan"), were 14.0 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to 8.1 million for the first quarter of 2018.

      "Q1 was a solid quarter and a good start to the year 2019," commented Yan Tang, Chairman and CEO of Momo. "We have started to implement the strategies that we laid out at the beginning of the year. Some of the initiatives we took on the product and operational fronts have already generated good results in driving business growth. We will continue to execute against the strategic priorities and create value for our shareholders."

      First Quarter of 2019 Financial Results

      Net revenues

      Total net revenues were RMB3,722.9 million (US$554.7 million) in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 35% from RMB2,764.4 million in the first quarter of 2018.

      Live video service revenues were RMB2,689.4 million (US$400.7 million) in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 14% from RMB2,360.1 million during the same period of 2018. The growth in live video revenues was contributed by the increase in quarterly paying users, as well as the increase in average revenues per paying user per quarter.

      Value-added service revenues mainly include membership subscription revenues and virtual gift revenues. The total value-added service revenues were RMB903.8 million (US$134.7 million) in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 285% from RMB235.0 million during the same period of 2018. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the continued growth of the virtual gift business on the Momo application driven by more paying scenarios introduced to enhance the social experience of Momo users, and to a lesser extent, the consolidation of Tantan's membership subscription revenues for the whole first quarter of 2019.

      Mobile marketing revenues were RMB80.7 million (US$12.0 million) in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 32% from RMB118.9 million during the same period of 2018. The decrease in mobile marketing revenues was driven by the decreased demand from our advertising and marketing customers.

      Mobile games revenues were RMB39.0 million (US$5.8 million) in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 8% from RMB42.2 million in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in mobile game revenues was mainly due to the continued decrease in quarterly paying users.

      Net revenues from Momo segment increased from RMB2,758.3 million in the first quarter of 2018 to RMB3,419.2 million (US$509.5 million) in the first quarter of 2019, primarily driven by the significant increase in net revenues from live video service and value-added service. Net revenues from Tantan segment was RMB295.3 million (US$44.0million) in the first quarter of 2019, which mainly included value -added service revenue.

      Cost and expenses

      Cost and expenses were RMB3,349.4 million (US$499.1 million) in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 83% from RMB1,834.2 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to: (a) an increase in personnel related costs including share-based compensation expenses, especially the share-based compensation expenses of RMB466.9 million (US$69.6 million) charged from the options granted to Tantan's founders and the Company's rapidly expanding talent pool; (b) an increase in revenue sharing with the broadcasters related to our live video service and virtual gift recipients; (c) an increase in marketing and promotional expenses to attract users and promote our live video services; (d) an increase in amortization expenses related to the intangible assets from business acquisitions; and (e) an increase in fees to payment channels resulting from a higher volume of cash collection through such channels.

      Non-GAAP cost and expenses (note 1) were RMB2,719.2 million (US$405.2 million) in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 55% from RMB1,755.5 million during the same period of 2018.

      Non-GAAP income from operations (note 1) was RMB1,014.7 million (US$151.2 million) in the first quarter of 2019, compared to RMB1,015.7 million during the same period of 2018.

      As of March 31, 2019, Momo's cash, cash equivalents, term deposits and short-term investment totaled RMB12,015.9 million (US$1,790.4 million), compared to RMB11,292.6 million as of December 31, 2018. Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2019 was RMB1,175.9 million (US$175.2 million), compared to RMB825.5 million in the first quarter of 2018.

      Recent Development

      On March 12, 2019, Momo's board of directors declared a special cash dividend in the amount of US$0.62 per ADS, or US$0.31 per ordinary share. The cash dividend was paid on April 30, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 5, 2019. The aggregate amount of cash dividends paid was US$128.6 million.

      Business Outlook

      For the second quarter of 2019, the Company expects total net revenues to be between RMB4.0 billion to RMB4.1 billion, representing an increase of 27% to 30% year over year. These estimates reflect the Company's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

      Note 1: Non-GAAP measures

      To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we use various non-GAAP financial measures that are adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, and tax impacts related to the amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions.

      Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are shown in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details about the non-GAAP financial measures.

      Our non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information to help investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors' overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of our continuing operations and our prospects for the future. Our non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to the GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

      Our non-GAAP information (including non-GAAP cost and operating expenses, income from operations, net income,net income attributable to Momo Inc., and diluted net income per ADS) is adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, and tax impacts related to the amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions and tax impacts related to the amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our results of operations. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to our U.S. GAAP measures. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this earnings release.
