Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by 27.8% to RMB1,681.1 million (US$243.7 million), compared with RMB2,327.9 million in the same period of 2021.

Livestreaming revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by 27.7% to RMB1,596.7 million (US$231.5 million) from RMB2,209.4 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the continued adjustments to certain interactive features and related operations, as well as the negative impact of streamers' decreased activities following the end of Covid-19 restrictions.

Advertising and other revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 were RMB84.3 million (US$12.2 million), compared with RMB118.5 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the soft demand for advertisements in the weak macro economy. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in other revenues contributed by game-specific membership services.

Cost of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB1,495.0 million (US$216.8 million), a decrease of 28.2%  compared with RMB2,083.2 million in the same period of 2021.

Revenue sharing fees and content costs in the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased to RMB1,271.1 million (US$184.3 million) from RMB1,846.9 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to decreased revenue sharing fees in accordance with the decrease in livestreaming revenues, as well as a significant decrease in copyright costs which was attributed to a selective procurement strategy.

Bandwidth costs in the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by 17.6% to RMB138.4 million (US$20.1 million) from RMB167.9 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the year-over-year reduction in peak bandwidth usage in the absence of purchased eSport tournament copyright.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB186.1 million (US$27.0 million), compared with RMB244.7 million in the same period of 2021. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2022 improved to 11.1% from 10.5% in the same period of 2021. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the decreases in both revenue sharing fees and copyright costs as a percentage of total net revenues, which were partially offset by the increase in self-produced content costs as a percentage of total net revenues.

Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased 45.9% to RMB123.9 million (US$18.0 million) from RMB229.2 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly attributable to the significant decrease in marketing expenses for user acquisition and branding expenses.

Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased 39.2% to RMB80.6 million (US$11.7 million) from RMB132.6 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in personnel-related expenses.

General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased 44.1% to RMB55.2 million (US$8.0 million) from RMB98.8 million in the same period of 2021, mainly due to decreases in share-based compensation expenses and professional service fees.

Other operating income, net in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB17.6 million (US$2.5 million), compared with RMB13.9 million in the same period of 2021. 

Loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB56.0 million (US$8.1 million), compared with RMB201.9 million in the same period of 2021.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB41.8 million (US$6.1 million), compared with net loss of RMB193.2 million in the same period of 2021.

Adjusted net loss, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, the share of (loss) income in equity method investments, and impairment loss of investments, was RMB4.3 million (US$0.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with adjusted net loss of RMB150.7 million in the same period of 2021.

Total net revenues for the full year of 2022 were RMB7,108.2 million (US$1,030.6 million), compared with RMB9,165.3 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the year-over-year decrease in livestreaming revenues and advertising and other revenues.
