Due to the fact that the Group's fair market value as indicated by its market capitalization was significantly below its net book value of equity, the Group determined that a triggering event had occurred for impairment.

Fourth Quarter of 2021 Financial Results

Net revenues

Total net revenues were RMB3,674.2 million (US$576.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of 3.2% from RMB3,795.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Live video service revenues were RMB2,148.8 million (US$337.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of 7.7% from RMB2,327.9 million during the same period of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in Tantan's live streaming revenues due to the shift of our strategic focus. The live steaming revenues on Momo application increased 1% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Value-added service revenues mainly include virtual gift revenues and membership subscription revenues. Total value-added service revenues were RMB1,475.7 million (US$231.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 5.3% from RMB1,401.3 million during the same period of 2020. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the continued growth of the virtual gift business on the Momo application driven by the introduction of innovative features and operational events in the audio and video social entertainment experiences, and the rapid growth in the revenues generated by new standalone apps. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in the value-added service revenues of Tantan, due to our strategy to lower the monetization level to improve user experience and retention.

Mobile marketing revenues were RMB25.4 million (US$4.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of 51.8% from RMB52.7 million during the same period of 2020. The decrease in mobile marketing revenues was due to our product adjustment to address new regulation requirement.

Mobile games revenues were RMB19.3 million (US$3.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 163.1% from RMB7.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Net revenues from the Momo segment increased from RMB3,051.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 to RMB3,235.6 million (US$507.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to the increase in net revenues from value-added service. Net revenues from the Tantan segment decreased from RMB740.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 to RMB437.2 million (US$68.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, due to our strategy to lower the monetization level in order to improve user experience and retention.

Cost and expenses

Cost and expenses were RMB7,729.4 million (US$1,212.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 134.9% from RMB3,290.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to: (a) an increase in impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets amounting to RMB4,397.0 million (US$690.0 million); and (b) an increase in revenue sharing with broadcasters related to Momo's core live video service, and virtual gift recipients for our virtual gift service. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue sharing with broadcasters related to Tantan's live video service, and a decrease in personnel related costs including share-based compensation expenses resulting from the decreased number of employees and the decreased fair value of the share options granted during the period.

Non-GAAP cost and expenses (note 1) were RMB3,205.8 million (US$503.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 3.6% from RMB3,095.9 million during the same period of 2020.

Other operating income

Other operating income was RMB38.6 million (US$6.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease from RMB88.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2020. The other operating income mainly consisted of government incentives.

Income (loss) from operations

Loss from operations was RMB4,016.6 million (US$630.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to an income from operations of RMB593.6 million during the same period of 2020. Income from operations of the Momo segment was RMB549.3 million (US$86.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, which decreased from RMB650.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Loss from operations of the Tantan segment was RMB162.5 million (US$25.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to loss from operations of RMB53.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP income from operations (note 1) was RMB507.0 million (US$79.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to RMB787.7 million during the same period of 2020. Non-GAAP income from operations of the Momo segment was RMB658.4 million (US$103.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, which decreased from RMB791.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP loss from operations of the Tantan segment was RMB145.0 million (US$22.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to non-GAAP loss from operations of RMB2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Income tax expenses

Income tax expenses were RMB296.5 million (US$46.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to RMB5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to the following reasons: (a) in the fourth quarter of 2021, we accrued withholding income tax of RMB207.4 million (US$32.5 million) on undistributed earnings generated in 2021 by our WFOE, because we plan to remit WFOE's earnings to its offshore parent company in the foreseeable future to fund its demand on US dollar in business operations, payments of dividends, potential investments, etc.; (b) in the fourth quarter of 2020, we reversed the over-accrued income tax expenses of RMB113.4 million, due to the preferential tax rate adjustment from 12.5% to 10.0% for WFOE, resulting from the fact that the application of the Key Software Enterprise for the fiscal year of 2019 was approved in 2020.

Net income (loss)

Net loss was RMB4,244.0 million (US$666.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to a net income of RMB651.1 million during the same period of 2020. Net income from the Momo segment was RMB306.7 million (US$48.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, which decreased from RMB705.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Net loss from the Tantan segment was RMB147.3 million (US$23.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to net loss of RMB50.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP net income (note 1) was RMB279.6 million (US$43.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to RMB836.1 million during the same period of 2020. Non-GAAP net income from the Momo segment was RMB415.8 million (US$65.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, which decreased from RMB846.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Note 1: Non-GAAP measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we, Hello Group, use various non-GAAP financial measures that are adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation, impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets, 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 (loss) from operations, net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Hello Group Inc., and diluted net income per ADS) is adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation, impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets, 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, impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets, 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 significant recurring expenses in our results of operations. We compensate for such limitation 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.
