Insights

Bilibili's Q4 2024 results represent a watershed moment in the company's financial evolution, marking its inaugural GAAP-profitable quarter with RMB88.9 million in net profit. This achievement stems from a comprehensive transformation in operational efficiency rather than mere cost-cutting.

The revenue mix shows strategic maturation: advertising revenues grew 24% YoY to RMB2.39 billion, while mobile games surged 79% to RMB1.80 billion. The dramatic improvement in gross margin to 36.1% (up 10 percentage points YoY) reflects enhanced monetization efficiency and better cost management, particularly in content and platform operations.

The mobile games segment's exceptional performance, driven by San Guo: Mou Ding Tian Xia, demonstrates Bilibili's improved game selection and monetization strategy. However, the 10% increase in marketing expenses for game promotion suggests a calculated investment in user acquisition.

Most notably, the company generated RMB6.01 billion in operating cash flow for FY2024, a remarkable improvement from RMB266.6 million in 2023. This robust cash generation, combined with strategic debt reduction through the repurchase of US$419.1 million in convertible notes, significantly strengthens the balance sheet. The remaining convertible notes of just US$13.4 million substantially reduce future debt obligations.

The reduction in R&D expenses by 31% YoY, while significant, appears strategic rather than detrimental, as it partly reflects the completion of major development cycles and the termination of underperforming projects. The company maintains a healthy cash position of RMB16.54 billion, providing ample resources for future growth initiatives while maintaining financial flexibility.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted profit/(loss) from operations, adjusted net profit/(loss), adjusted net profit/(loss) per share and per ADS, basic and diluted and adjusted net profit/(loss) attributable to the Bilibili Inc.’s shareholders in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions, income tax related to intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions, gain/loss on fair value change in investments in publicly traded companies, gain/loss on repurchase of convertible senior notes, and termination expenses of certain game projects. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, cash flows or liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.”
