      "We are pleased with our progress made in our intelligent search front," said Gaofei Wang, CEO of Weibo. "On the user product front, we have completed homepage information feeds product revamp, with recommendation feed as the main product interface to enhance users' content consumption scale and efficiency. On the AI technology application front, the user scale and search queries of Weibo intelligent search continued to grow robustly in the third quarter, which fulfilled and drove users' search demand on the platform. On the monetization front, we further solidified our advantage in content marketing and enhanced the conversion of our promoted feed ad. On the advertising technology front, we continuously strengthened the application of AI technology across the entire advertising process to enhance monetization efficiency."

      Third Quarter 2025 Highlights 

      • Net revenues were US$442.3 million, a decrease of 5% year-over-year or a decrease of 4% year-over-year on a constant currency basis [1].
      • Advertising and marketing revenues were US$375.4 million, a decrease of 6% year-over-year or a decrease of 5% year-over-year on a constant currency basis [1].
      • Value-added services ("VAS") revenues were US$66.9 million, an increase of 2% year-over-year or an increase of 2% year-over-year on a constant currency basis [1].
      • Income from operations was US$117.3 million, representing an operating margin of 27%.
      • Net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders was US$221.1 million and diluted net income per share was US$0.83.
      • Non-GAAP income from operations was US$132.0 million, representing a non-GAAP operating margin of 30%.
      • Non-GAAP net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders was US$110.7 million and non-GAAP diluted net income per share was US$0.42.
      • Monthly active users ("MAUs") were 578 million in September 2025.
      • Average daily active users ("DAUs") were 257 million in September 2025.

      [1] We define constant currency (non-GAAP) by assuming that the average exchange rate in the third quarter of 2025 was the same as it was in the third quarter of 2024, or RMB7.15=US$1.00.

      Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

      For the third quarter of 2025, Weibo's total net revenues were US$442.3 million, a decrease of 5% compared to US$464.5 million for the same period last year.

      Advertising and marketing revenues for the third quarter of 2025 were US$375.4 million, a decrease of 6% compared to US$398.6 million for the same period last year. The decrease mainly resulted from less advertising revenue contribution from those sectors which largely benefited from the Paris Olympic Games in the same period last year, such as food and beverage; and the decrease was partially offset by the solid ad revenue growth of e-commerce and automobile sectors. Advertising and marketing revenues excluding advertising revenues from Alibaba were US$329.9 million, a decrease of 13% compared to US$377.1 million for the same period last year. Advertising and marketing revenues from Alibaba were US$45.5 million, an increase of 112% compared to US$21.5 million for the same period last year, mainly attributable to incremental ad budget from its local service initiatives as well as its strong marketing demand for e-commerce activities in the third quarter.

      VAS revenues for the third quarter of 2025 were US$66.9 million, an increase of 2% compared to US$65.9 million for the same period last year.

      Costs and expenses for the third quarter of 2025 totaled US$325.0 million, an increase of 1% compared to US$323.2 million for the same period last year.

      Income from operations for the third quarter of 2025 was US$117.3 million, compared to US$141.3 million for the same period last year. Operating margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 27%, compared to 30% for the same period last year. Non-GAAP income from operations for the third quarter of 2025 was US$132.0 million, compared to US$164.5 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 30%, compared to 35% for the same period last year.

      Non-operating income for the third quarter of 2025 was US$163.4 million, compared to US$23.6 million for the same period last year. Non-operating income mainly included (i) net interest and other income of US$123.7 million, which reflected an equity method pick up gain of US$117.8 million from a fund investment. The gain resulted from a lag in the reporting of fair value increase of a listed investee held by the fund investment in the second quarter of 2025. The Company expects to record an equity pick up loss from the same fund investment in the fourth quarter of 2025, due to subsequent share price volatility that will be reflected on a lagged basis. Under non-GAAP measures, a total of US$115.2 million net equity pick up gains were excluded; and (ii) gain on fair value change of US$39.5 million from an investment, which was excluded under non-GAAP measures.

      Income tax expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were US$57.2 million, compared to US$32.2 million for the same period last year, primarily due to the recognition of US$29.4 million deferred tax liability related to equity pick up gains in the third quarter 2025.

      Net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders for the third quarter of 2025 was US$221.1 million, compared to US$130.6 million for the same period last year. Diluted net income per share attributable to Weibo's shareholders for the third quarter of 2025 was US$0.83, compared to US$0.50 for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders for the third quarter of 2025 was US$110.7 million, compared to US$139.2 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to Weibo's shareholders for the third quarter of 2025 was US$0.42, compared to US$0.53 for the same period last year.

      As of September 30, 2025, Weibo's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled US$2.04 billion. For the third quarter of 2025, cash provided by operating activities was US$200.0 million, capital expenditures totaled US$5.1 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses amounted to US$15.4 million.

      Conference Call

      Weibo's management team will host a conference call from 6:00 AM to 7:00 AM Eastern Time on November 18, 2025 (or 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM Beijing Time on November 18, 2025) to present an overview of the Company's financial performance and business operations.

      Participants who wish to dial in to the teleconference must register through the below public participant link. Dial-in and instructions will be provided in the confirmation email upon registering.

      Additionally, a live and archived webcast of this conference call will be available at http://ir.weibo.com.

      Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      This release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders, non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to Weibo's shareholders and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of the Company's financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

      The Company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, net results of impairment and provision on investments, gain/loss on sale of investments and fair value change of investments, non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items for the income/loss attributable to non-controlling interests, income tax expense related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions and fair value change of investments (other non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items have no tax effect), and amortization of issuance cost of convertible senior notes, unsecured senior notes and long-term loans. Adjusted EBITDA represents non-GAAP net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders before interest income/expense, net, income tax expenses/benefits, and depreciation expenses.

      The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their financial and operating decision-making, because management believes these measures reflect the Company's ongoing operating performance in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in the following ways: (i) in comparing the Company's current financial results with the Company's past financial results in a consistent manner, and (ii) in understanding and evaluating the Company's current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains/losses and other items (i) that are not expected to result in future cash payments or (ii) that are non-recurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results and business outlook.

      Use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures do not include all income and expense items that affect the Company's operations. They may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how the Company defines its non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures are set forth in the section below titled "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Results."

Among other things, Weibo's expected financial performance and strategic and operational plans, as described, without limitation, in quotations from management in this press release, contain forward-looking statements.

A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, Weibo's limited operating history in certain new businesses; failure to sustain or grow active user base and the level of user engagement; the uncertain regulatory landscape in China; fluctuations in the Company's quarterly operating results; the Company's reliance on advertising and marketing sales for a majority of its revenues; failure to successfully develop, introduce, drive adoption of or monetize new features and products; failure to compete effectively for advertising and marketing spending; failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses; risks associated with the Company's investments, including equity pick-up and impairment; failure to compete successfully against new entrants and established industry competitors; changes in the macro-economic environment, including the depreciation of the Renminbi; and adverse changes in economic and political policies of the PRC government and its impact on the Chinese economy.

      value change of investments. Other non-GAAP adjustment items have no tax effect, because (i) they were recorded in entities established in tax free jurisdictions, or

      (ii) full valuation allowances were provided for related deferred tax assets as it is more-likely-than-not they will not be realized.
