General Information Organization And Basis Of Preparation [Abstract]
General information and organization	1. General information and organization 1.1. General information Tencent Music Entertainment Group (the “Company” or “TME”), formerly known as China Music Corporation (“CMC”), was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on June 6, 2012 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law (2010 Revision) of the Cayman Islands. Our registered office in the Cayman Islands is located at the office of Maples Corporate Services Limited, PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands. The Company is controlled by Tencent Holdings Limited (“Tencent”), a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability whose shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since December 12, 2018. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares have been listed, by way of introduction, on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since September 15, 2022. Each ADS of the Company represents two ordinary shares, remain primarily listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The Class A ordinary shares listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are fully fungible with the ADSs listed on the NYSE. The Company, its subsidiaries, its controlled structured entities (“Variable interest entities”, or “VIE”) and their subsidiaries (“Subsidiaries of VIEs”) are collectively referred to as the “Group”. The Group is principally engaged in operating online music entertainment platforms to provide music streaming, online karaoke and live streaming services in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Company does not conduct any substantive operations of its own but conducts its primary business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs in the PRC. In July 2016, Tencent acquired control of the Company through a series of transactions, pursuant to which Tencent injected substantially all of its online music business in the mainland China (“Tencent Music Business”) into the Company in exchange for certain number of shares issued by the Company (“Merger”). Upon the completion of such transactions, the Company became a subsidiary of Tencent and was renamed to its current name in December 2016. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under which Tencent Music Business is regarded as the acquirer, and accordingly these consolidated financial statements have been presented as a continuation of the financial statements of Tencent Music Business. 1.2. Organization and principal activities The PRC laws and regulations prohibit or restrict foreign ownership of companies that provide Internet-based business, which include activities and services provided by the Group. The Group operates its business operations in the PRC through a series of contractual arrangements (“Structure Contracts”) entered into among the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“WOFEs”), VIEs that are legally owned by individuals (“Nominee Shareholders”) authorized by the Group (collectively, “Contractual Arrangements”) and the Nominee Shareholders. The Structure Contracts including Exclusive Technology Services Agreement, Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, Loan Agreement, Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement, Equity Interest Pledge Agreement, and Powers of Attorney Agreement. Under the Contractual Arrangements, the Company has the power to control the management, and financial and operating policies of the VIEs, has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the VIEs, and has the ability to use its power over the VIEs to affect the amount of the returns. As a result, all these VIEs are accounted for as consolidated structured entities of the Company and their financial statements have been consolidated by the Company. The Structured Contracts had been in place throughout the years presented, and, there was no change to the principal terms of the Structured Contracts. The principal terms of the Structured Contracts are further described below: (i) Voting Trust Agreement Pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement, the shareholders of the VIEs each irrevocably granted the WOFEs or any individual designated by the WOFEs in writing as their attorney-in-fact to vote, the rights to vote on their behalf on all matters of the VIEs requiring shareholder approval under the PRC laws and regulations and the VIEs’ articles of association. The term of this agreement will remain effective as long as the shareholders continue to hold equity interests in the VIEs. (ii) Exclusive Technical Service Agreement Pursuant to the exclusive technical service agreement between the WOFEs and the VIEs, the WOFEs or their designated party has the exclusive right to provide business support, technical services and consulting services in return for a service fee, which represents 90% of net operating income of the VIEs together with other service fees charged for other ad hoc services provided. The WOFEs have the discretion to change the charge rate. During the term of the agreement, without the WOFEs’ prior written consent, the VIEs shall not engage any third party for rendering any of such services defined under this agreement. (iii) Loan agreement Under the loan agreement between the WOFEs and the shareholders of the VIEs, the WOFEs provided interest-free loans to the shareholders of the VIEs solely for the subscription of newly registered capital of the VIEs. The WOFEs have the sole discretion to determine the way of repayment, including requiring the shareholders to transfer their equity shares in the VIEs to the WOFEs according to the terms indicated in the Exclusive Share Purchase Option as mentioned below. (iv) Exclusive option agreement Pursuant to the exclusive purchase option agreement amongst the WOFEs, the VIEs and their shareholders, the shareholders of the VIEs granted the WOFEs or their designated party, an exclusive irrevocable option to purchase, all or part of the equity interests held by its shareholders, when and to the extent permitted under PRC law, at a price equal to the proportional amount of registered capital of the VIEs. Without the consent of the WOFEs or their designated party, the shareholders of the VIEs may not transfer, donate, pledge, or otherwise dispose of their equity shareholdings in any way. The exclusive purchase option agreement remains effective until the options are exercised. (v) Equity interest pledge agreement Pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreement enacted amongst the WOFEs, the VIEs and their shareholders, the shareholders of the VIEs pledge all of their equity interests in the VIEs to the WOFEs, to guarantee the VIEs and their shareholders’ performance of their obligations under exclusive purchase option agreement, exclusive business cooperation agreement, loan agreement, and powers of attorney. If the VIEs and/or any of their shareholders breach their contractual obligations under this agreement, the WOFEs, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. Without the WOFEs’ prior written consent, shareholders of the VIEs shall not transfer or assign the pledged equity interests, or create or allow any encumbrance that would prejudice the WOFEs’ interests. During the term of this agreement, the WOFEs are entitled to receive all of the dividends and profits paid on the pledged equity interests. The equity interest pledge were effective upon the completion of the registration of the pledge with the local branch of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (“SAIC”), and remain effective until the VIEs and its shareholders discharge all their obligations under the Contractual Arrangements. As at December 31, 2022, the Company’s significant subsidiaries, VIEs, and subsidiaries of VIEs were as follows: Place of Date of Equity Principal activities Subsidiaries Tencent Music Entertainment Hong Hong Kong July 2016* 100 % Investment holding and music content Tencent Music (Beijing) Co., Ltd PRC July 2016* 100 % Technical support and consulting Yeelion Online Network Technology PRC July 2016* 100 % Technical support and consulting Tencent Music Entertainment PRC February 2017 100 % Technical support and consulting Guangzhou Shiyinlian Software PRC October 2019 100 % Technical support and consulting Variable Interest Entities Guangzhou Kugou Computer PRC July 2016* 100 % Online music and entertainment related Beijing Kuwo Technology Co., Ltd. PRC July 2016* 100 % Online music and entertainment related Subsidiaries of Variable Interest Tencent Music Entertainment PRC July 2016* 100 % Online music and entertainment related Shenzhen Lanren Online Technology PRC March 2021 100 % Audio platform * Representing the entities acquired by the Group on July 12, 2016. Risks in relation to the VIEs In the opinion of the Company’s management, the contractual arrangements discussed above have resulted in the Company, and the WOFE having the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIEs, including appointing key management, setting up operating policies, exerting financial controls and transferring profit or assets out of the VIEs at its discretion. The Company has the power to direct activities of the VIEs and can have assets transferred out of the VIEs under its control. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the VIEs that can be used only to settle obligations of the VIEs, except for registered capital, capital reserve and PRC statutory reserves of the VIEs totaling RMB 4,069 million and RMB 9,793 million as at December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Currently there is no contractual arrangement that could require the Company to provide additional financial support to the VIEs. As the Company is conducting its Internet-related business mainly through the VIEs, the Company may provide such support on a discretional basis in the future, which could expose the Company to a loss. As the VIEs organized in the PRC were established as limited liability companies under PRC law, their creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the WOFE for the liabilities of the VIEs, and the WOFE does not have the obligation to assume the liabilities of these VIEs. The Company, based on the advice from its PRC legal counsel, determines that the Contractual Arrangements are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Group’s ability to enforce the Contractual Arrangements. On January 19, 2015, the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC (“MOFCOM”), released for public comment a proposed PRC law, the Draft FIE Law, that appears to include Consolidated VIEs within the scope of entities that could be considered as foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, that would be subject to restrictions under existing PRC law on foreign investment in certain categories of industry. Specifically, the Draft FIE Law introduces the concept of “actual control” for determining whether an entity is considered to be an FIE. In addition to control through direct or indirect ownership or equity, the Draft FIE Law includes control through contractual arrangements within the definition of “actual control”. The Draft FIE Law includes provisions that would exempt from the definition of foreign invested enterprises entities where the ultimate controlling shareholders are either entities organized under PRC law or individuals who are PRC citizens. The Draft FIE Law is silent as to what type of enforcement action might be taken against existing entities that operate in restricted or prohibited industries and are not controlled by entities organized under PRC law or individuals who are PRC citizens. If the restrictions and prohibitions on foreign invested enterprises included in the Draft FIE Law are enacted and enforced in their current form, the Company’s ability to use the Contractual Arrangements and the Company’s ability to conduct business through them could be severely limited. The Company’s ability to control VIEs also depends on rights provided to the WOFE, under the powers of attorney agreement, to vote on all matters requiring shareholder approval. As noted above, the Company believes these powers of attorney agreements are legally enforceable, but they may not be as effective as direct equity ownership. In addition, if the corporate structure of the Group or the contractual arrangements between the or the WOFE, the VIEs and their respective shareholders were found to be in violation of any existing PRC laws and regulations, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities could: • revoke the Group’s business and operating licenses; • require the Group to discontinue or restrict its operations; • restrict the Group’s right to collect revenues; • block the Group’s websites; • require the Group to restructure the operations, re-apply for the necessary licenses or relocate its businesses, staff and assets; • impose additional conditions or requirements with which the Group may not be able to comply; or • take other regulatory or enforcement actions against the Group that could be harmful to the Group’s business. The following are major financial statements amounts and balances of the Group’s VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs on a combined basis. As at December 31, 2021 2022 RMB’million RMB’million Total current assets 9,395 10,351 Total non-current assets 8,722 7,420 Total assets 18,117 17,771 Total current liabilities ( 6,670 ) ( 6,704 ) Total non-current liabilities ( 416 ) ( 329 ) Total liabilities ( 7,086 ) ( 7,033 ) Year ended December 31, 2020 2021 2022 RMB’million RMB’million RMB’million Total revenues 29,094 30,949 27,426 Net profit/(loss) 1,625 ( 209 ) ( 432 ) Net cash inflow/(outflow) from operating activities* 454 ( 671 ) ( 17 ) Net cash outflow from investing activities ( 1,099 ) ( 3,554 ) ( 379 ) Net cash inflow from financing activities* 715 3,462 252 Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents 70 ( 763 ) ( 144 ) Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of the year 1,327 1,397 634 Cash and cash equivalents, end of the year 1,397 634 490 * Amounts previously reported for 2020 have been revised to reflect the impact of revisions of intercompany fund transfers from operating to financing activities, which were eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The amounts of cash flow activities of the Group’s VIEs for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been revised to reflect adjustments with a decrease of RMB 768 million in cash provided by operating activities, and an increase of RMB 768 million, in cash provided by financing activities. There is no impact on the previous reported consolidated financial positions and results of operations or cash flows. The above combined financial statements amounts and balances included intercompany transactions which have been eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As at December 31, 2021 and 2022, the total assets of Group’s VIEs mainly consisted of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepayments, deposits and other current assets, intangible assets, and land use rights, as applicable. As at December 31, 2021 and 2022, the total liabilities of VIEs mainly consisted of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The recognized revenue-producing assets held by the Group’s VIEs include intangible assets acquired through business combinations, prepaid content royalties and domain names and servers. The balances of these assets as at December 31, 2021 and 2022 were included in the line of “Total non-current assets” in the table above. The unrecognized revenue-producing assets held by the Group’s VIEs mainly consist of internally generated intellectual property, licenses, and trademarks that the Group relies on to operate its businesses.

Disclosure Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of significant accounting policies	2. Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 2.1. Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of other investments, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, short-term investments, other financial liabilities which are carried at fair value. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4. 2.2. New and amendments to the accounting standards adopted and recent accounting pronouncements (a) New and amendments to the accounting standards adopted The following standards and amendments have been adopted by the Group for the first time for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2022: Amendments to IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment: Proceeds before intended use Amendments to IAS 37 Onerous contracts – cost of fulfilling a contract Amendments to IFRSs Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 Cycle Amendments to IFRS 3 Reference to the Conceptual Framework The adoption of these standards does not have material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. (b) Recent accounting pronouncements The following new standards and amendments to standards have not come into effect for the financial year beginning January 1, 2022, and have not been early adopted by the Group in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these new standards and amendments to standards is expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Effective for annual IFRS 17 Insurance contracts January 1, 2023 Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Disclosure of Accounting Policies January 1, 2023 Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates January 1, 2023 Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single January 1, 2023 Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current January 1, 2024 Amendments to IAS 1 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants January 1, 2024 Amendments to IFRS 16 Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback January 1, 2024 Amendments to IAS 28 and IFRS Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate To be determined The Group considers the lease as a single transaction in which the assets and liabilities are integrally linked. There is no net temporary difference at inception. Subsequently, when differences on settlement of the liabilities and the amortization of right-of-use assets arise, there will be a net temporary difference on which deferred tax is recognized. Upon the effective date of amendments to IAS 12 on January 1, 2023, the Group recognized an immaterial amount of deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for the temporary differences arising on a lease on initial recognition. 2.3. Principles of consolidation and equity accounting (a) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including VIEs as stated in Note 1.2 above) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet, respectively. (b) Associates Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally but not necessarily accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting (see (d) below), after initially being recognized at cost. (c) Joint ventures Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures. Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (see (d) below), after initially being recognized at cost in the consolidated balance sheet. (d) Equity method Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in Note 2.11 whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount may be impaired in accordance with Note 2.12 (b). 2.4. Business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations except for the business combinations under common control as stated below, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the: • fair values of the assets transferred • liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business • equity interests issued by the Group • fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and • fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The excess of the: • consideration transferred, • amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and • acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss. Business combination under common control The Group accounts for the business combination between entities under common control using the predecessor accounting. For predecessor accounting: • Assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are stated at predecessor carrying values. Fair value measurement is not required. • No new goodwill arises in predecessor accounting. • Any difference between the consideration given and the aggregate carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity at the date of the transaction is included in equity in retained earnings or in a separate reserve. The Group does not restate any assets and liabilities of the acquired entity. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are consolidated using the predecessor’s amounts from the controlling party’s perspective. No new goodwill is recorded. Any difference between the cost of investment and the carrying value of the net assets is recorded in equity as merger reserve. The Group elects to incorporate the acquired entity’s results only from the date on which the business combination between entities under common control occurred. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect the results of the acquired entity for the period before the transaction occurred. The corresponding amount for the previous year is also not restated. 2.5. Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments and making strategic decisions. The Group’s chief operating decision makers have been identified as executive directors of the Company, who review the consolidated results of operations when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group as a whole. For the purpose of internal reporting and management’s operation review, the chief operating decision-makers and management personnel do not segregate the Group’s business by product or service lines. Hence, the Group has only one operating segment. In addition, the Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. As the Group’s assets and liabilities are substantially located in the PRC, substantially all revenues are earned and substantially all expenses are incurred in the PRC, no geographical segments are presented. 2.6. Foreign currency translation (a) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”). As the major operations of the Group are within the PRC, the Group presents its consolidated financial statements in Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated. (b) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in the income statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the income statement, within finance cost. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement on a net basis within finance cost. (c) Group companies The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet • income and expenses for each income statement and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and • all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are recognized in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gains or losses on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. Currency translation differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income. 2.7. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term as follows: Servers and network equipment 3 – 5 years Office furniture, equipment and others 3 – 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of expected lives of leasehold improvements and lease terms The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Construction in progress represents buildings under construction and pending installation and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes amortization of land use rights and the costs of construction of buildings. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2.11). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the income statement. 2.8. Land use rights Land use rights are up-front payment to acquire long-term interests in land. The payment is stated at cost and charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of the lease. 2.9. Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to CGUs for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, below the operating segment. 2.10. Other intangible assets (a) Domain name, trademark and Internet audio/video program transmission license Separately acquired domain name, trademark and Internet audio/video program transmission license are shown at historical cost. These assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Domain name, trademark and Internet audio/video program transmission license have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of these assets and over their respective useful live of no more than 12 years . The useful lives of these assets are the periods over which they are expected to be available for use by the Group, and the management of the Group also take into account of past experience when estimating the useful lives. (b) Separately acquired and internal developed content and copyrights Separately acquired content and copyrights are shown at historical cost. The Group also produces or/and contracts with external parties to produce content to exhibit on its platforms. Produced content includes direct production costs, production overheads and acquisition costs. The Group recognizes internal developed content as intangible assets only when the following criteria are met: the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset exists, there is an intent to complete and an ability to use or sell the intangible asset, the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, there are adequate resources available to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and there is the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Capitalized in-house produced content are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 1 to 5 years, while separately acquired content and copyrights are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 1 to 10 years. (c) Other intangible assets acquired in a business combination not under common control Other intangible assets acquired in a business combination not under a common control transaction are recognized initially at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently carried at the amount initially recognized less accumulated amortization and impairment loss, if any. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the costs of acquired intangible assets over the following estimated useful lives: Online users 1 year Corporate customer relationship 3 - 9 years Supplier resources 5 - 8 years Non-compete agreements 4 - 9 years Copyrights 3 - 7 years 2.11. Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment review on the goodwill of the Group is conducted by the management as at December 31 according to IAS 36 “Impairment of assets”. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (CGUs). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. 2.12. Investments and other financial assets (a) Classification and measurement The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: • those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and • those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Group reclassifies debt investments only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the assets. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. Debt instruments Initial recognition and subsequent measurement of debt instruments depend on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments: • Amortized cost: Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are classified as and measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is recognized using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in “other gains, net” together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the income statement. • Fair value through other comprehensive income: Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment losses or reversals, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in “other gains, net”. Interest income from these financial assets is recognized using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses or reversals are presented in “other gains, net”. • Fair value through profit or loss: Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as and measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss and presented in “other gains, net” for the period in which it arises. Equity instruments The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in “other gains, net” in the income statement as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. (b) Impairment The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For accounts receivable and contract assets, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized since initial recognition of the receivables. Impairment on deposits and other receivables is measured as either 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If a significant increase in credit risk of a deposit or receivable has occurred since initial recognition, the impairment is measured as lifetime expected credit losses. (c) Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Company has also entered into arrangements that do not meet the criteria for offsetting but still allow for the related amounts to be set off in certain circumstances, such as bankruptcy or the termination of a contract. 2.13. Inventories Inventories, mainly consisting of merchandise for sale, are primarily accounted for using the weighted average method and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. 2.14. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are generally due for settlement within 30 to 90 days and therefore are all classified as current. 2.15. Short-term investments Short-term investments are investments issued by commercial banks in the PRC with a variable return and accounted for as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (see Note 2.12 above). Since these investments’ maturity dates are within one year, they are classified as current assets. 2.16. Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less. 2.17. Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where any Group company purchases the Company’s equity instruments, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders as treasury shares until the shares are canceled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received (net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs) is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. 2.18. Accounts and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 1 year of recognition. Accounts and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. 2.19. Borrowings (including notes payable) Borrowings (including notes payable) issued by the Group are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. They are subsequently carried at amortized cost. Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated income statement over their terms using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan facilities to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the term of the facility to which it relates. Notes payable are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. General and specific finance costs directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, no finance costs had been capitalized. 2.20. Current and deferred income tax The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. (a) Current income tax The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. (b) Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settl

Financial Risk Management [Abstract]
Financial Risk Management	3. Financial risk management 3.1. Financial risk factors The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management strategy seeks to minimize the potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. Risk management is carried out by the senior management of the Group. (a) Market risk (i) Foreign exchange risk The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to RMB and US$. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the respective functional currency of the Group’s subsidiaries. The functional currency of the Company and majority of its overseas subsidiaries is US$ whereas the functional currency of the subsidiaries which operate in the PRC is RMB. The Group currently does not hedge transactions undertaken in foreign currencies but manages its foreign exchange risk by performing regular reviews of the Group’s net foreign exchange exposures. As of December 31, 2022, the Group’s monetary assets that exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from US$ and RMB amounted to RMB9 million (2021: RMB54 million) and RMB34 million (2021: RMB27 million), respectively, and the Group’s monetary liabilities that exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from US$ and RMB amounted to RMB5 million (2021: RMB1 million) and RMB22 million (2021: RMB33 million), respectively. The Group performed sensitivity analysis based on the net exposure to each of the exposure arising from US$ and RMB at end of each reporting period. As at December 31, 2021 and 2022, the impact on the post-tax profit of the Group arising from a reasonable change in the foreign exchange rates of US$ and RMB is immaterial and therefore no quantitative impact of the sensitivity analysis is presented for foreign exchange risk. (ii) Price risk The Group is exposed to price risk because of investments held by the Group, which were classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and other investments for 2021 and 2022. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk. The sensitivity analysis is determined based on the exposure to equity price risk of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and other investments at the end of each reporting period. If equity prices of the respective instruments held by the Group had been 5 % higher/lower, the other comprehensive income would have been approximately RMB 365 million and RMB 158 million higher/lower, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and profit for the year would have been approximately RMB 12 million and RMB 17 million higher/lower, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. (iii) Interest rate risk Other than term deposits with initial terms of over three months, restricted cash and cash and cash equivalents, the Group has no other significant interest-bearing assets. The Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates is attributable to its notes payable issued during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 (Note 25), which carried at fixed rates and does not expose the Group to cash flow interest-rate risk. Accordingly, the directors of the Company do not anticipate there is any significant impact on the Group’s financial performance resulted from the changes in interest rates. (b) Credit risk The Group is exposed to credit risk in relation to its cash and cash deposits (including term deposits) placed with banks and financial institutions, short-term investments, as well as accounts and other receivables. The carrying amount of each class of these financial assets represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to the corresponding class of financial assets. The Group has policies in place to ensure that credit terms are granted to counterparties, including customers for content sublicensing, advertising agencies, third party platforms as well as entities under Tencent, with an appropriate credit history and the Group also performs periodic credit evaluations of these counterparties. Management does not expect any material loss arising from non-performance by these counterparties. Customers for content sublicensing and the third-party platforms are reputable corporations with sound financial position. The credit quality of the advertising agencies are assessed on a regular basis based on historical settlement records and past experience. In addition, deposits are only placed with reputable domestic or international financial institutions. There has been no recent history of default in relation to these financial institutions. No single external customer contributed to more than 10 % of the revenue of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. The Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the assets. The provision matrix is determined based on historical observed default rates over the expected life of the receivables with similar credit risk characteristics and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. The historical observed default rates are updated based on the payment profiles of receivable over a period of 12 months, and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed at year end. As at December 31, 2021 and 2022, loss allowance made against the gross amounts of accounts receivable were not material, accordingly, the provision matrix is not presented. As at December 31, 2021 and 2022, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable approximated their fair values. (c) Liquidity risk The Group aims to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to meet financial obligations when due. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements on the basis of expected cash flows and considering the maturities of financial assets and financial liabilities. As at December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Group’s major external borrowings represented the senior unsecured notes issued in September 2020, details of which are disclosed in Note 25. The contractual undiscounted cash flows of the Group’s notes payable and related interest expenses in the next twelve months, more than 1 year but within 5 years and over 5 years as at December 31, 2022 are RMB 98 million (FY21: RMB 90 million), RMB 2,425 million (FY21: RMB 2,247 million) and RMB 3,691 million (FY21: RMB 3,443 million) respectively. Apart from the above, majority of its financial liabilities comprised lease liabilities, accounts payable, and other payables and accruals. Except for the other payables and accruals are due for settlement contractually within 12 months, the contractual undiscounted cash flows of the Group’s lease liabilities payable in the next twelve months, more than 1 year but within 5 years and over 5 years as at December 31, 2022 are RMB 196 million (FY21:RMB 108 million), RMB 347 million (FY21: RMB 209 million) and RMB 27 million (FY21: RMB 17 million) respectively. The contractual undiscounted cash flows of the Group’s accounts payable in the next twelve months and more than 1 year but within 5 years as at December 31, 2022 are RMB 5,000 million (FY21: RMB 4,331 million) and RMB 50 million (FY21: RMB 100 million) respectively. 3.2. Capital risk management The Group’s objectives on managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and support the sustainable growth of the Group in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to enhance shareholders’ value in the long term. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. As at December 31, 2021 and 2022, the directors of the Company consider the risk of the Group’s capital structure is remote as the Group has a net cash position. 3.3. Fair value estimation The table below analyzes the Group’s financial instruments carried at fair value as at December 31, 2021 and 2022 by level of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Such inputs are categorized into three levels within a fair value hierarchy as follows: • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1); • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2); and • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3). As at December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Group’s financial instruments carried at fair values comprised financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (Note 18(a)) stated in the consolidated balance sheets measured at level 1 hierarchy, while other investments (Note 18(b)) and short-term investments (Note 18(c)) at level 3 fair value hierarchy. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is determined with reference to quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. These instruments are included in level 1. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required for evaluating the fair value of a financial instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. The Group has a team of personnel who performs valuation on these level 3 instruments for financial reporting purposes. The team adopts various valuation techniques to determine the fair value of the Group’s level 3 instruments. External valuation experts may also be involved and consulted when it is necessary. The components of the level 3 instruments mainly include short-term investments and investments in unlisted companies classified as other investment. As these instruments are not traded in an active market, their fair values have been determined using various applicable valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows approach and comparable transactions approach, etc. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the significant unobservable inputs of expected rate of return for short-term investments were 1.65 % to 5.59 %, and 2.25 % to 4.61 %, respectively. The higher the expected rate of return, the higher the fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, there was no transfer between level 1, 2 and 3 for recurring fair value measurements. Movement of the financial assets at fair value that using level 3 measurements, represented other investments (Note 18(b)) and short-term investments (Note 18(c)).

Critical accounting estimates and judgments	4. Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Group’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. (a) Consolidation of VIEs As disclosed in Note 1.2, the Group exercises control over the VIEs and has the right to recognize and receive substantially all the economic benefits through the Contractual Arrangements. The Group considers that it controls the VIEs notwithstanding the fact that it does not hold direct equity interests in the VIEs, as it has power over the financial and operating policies of the VIEs and receive substantially all the economic benefits from the business activities of the VIEs through the Contractual Arrangements. Accordingly, all these VIEs are accounted for as controlled structured entities and their financial statements have also been consolidated by the Company. (b) The estimates of the lifespans of durable virtual gifts Users purchase certain durable virtual gifts on the Group’s online karaoke and live streaming platforms and the relevant revenue is recognized based on the estimated lifespans of the virtual gifts. The estimated lifespans are determined by the management based on the expected service period derived from historical data of user relationship period. Significant judgments are required in determining the expected service periods, including but not limited to user’ historical activities patterns and churn rates. The Group has adopted a policy of assessing the estimated lifespans of virtual gifts on a regular basis whenever there is any indication of change in the expected service periods. Any change in the estimates may result in the revenue being recognized on a different basis from that in prior periods. (c) Recoverability of non-financial assets The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. Goodwill and other non-financial assets, mainly including property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, land use rights, intangible assets, as well as investments accounted for using equity method are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amounts have been determined based on value-in-use calculations or fair value less costs to sell. These calculations require the use of judgments and estimates. Management judgment is required in the area of asset impairment, particularly in assessing: (i) whether an event has occurred that may indicate that the related asset values may not be recoverable; (ii) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the recoverable amount, being the higher of fair value less costs to sell and net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset in the business; (iii) the selection of the most appropriate valuation technique, e.g. the market approach, the income approach, as well as a combination of approaches; and (iv) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in the adopted valuation models, including discounted cash flows and market approach. Changing the assumptions selected by management in assessing impairment, including the revenue growth rates and pre-tax discount rates assumptions adopted in the cash flow projections and selection of comparable companies adopted in the market approach, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test and as a result affect the Group’s financial condition and results of operations. If there is a significant adverse change in the key assumptions applied, it may be necessary to take an impairment charge to income statement. (d) Share-based compensation arrangements The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by making reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is estimated using a model which requires the determination of the appropriate inputs. The Group has to estimate the expected yearly percentage of grantees that will stay within the Group at the end of the respective vesting periods of the options and awarded shares (the “Expected Retention Rate”) in order to determine the amount of share-based compensation expenses to be charged to the consolidated income statement. The assumptions and models used for estimating the fair value of share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 24. (e) Income taxes The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact current income tax and deferred income tax in the period in which such determination is made. (f) Scope of consolidation Consolidation is required only if control exists. The Group controls an investee when it has all the following: (i) power over the investee; (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the Group’s returns. Power results from rights that can be straightforward through voting rights or complicated in contractual arrangements. Variable returns normally encompass financial benefits and risks, but in certain cases, they also include operational values specific to the Group. These three factors cannot be considered in isolation by the Group in its assessment of control over an investee. Where the factors of control are not apparent, significant judgment is applied in the assessment, which is based on an overall analysis performed on all of the relevant facts and circumstances. The Group is required to reassess whether it controls the investee if facts and circumstances indicate a change to one or more of the three factors of control.

Earnings per share [abstract]
Earnings per share	11. Earnings per share (a) Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. (b) Diluted earnings per share For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including share-based awards in respect of share options and RSU as well as puttable shares, under the treasury stock method (collectively forming the denominator for computing the diluted earnings per share). Potentially dilutive securities, including share options, RSU and puttable shares, have been excluded from the computation of weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of diluted earnings per share if their inclusion is anti-dilutive. No adjustments is made to earnings (numerator). The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Year ended December 31, 2020 2021 2022 RMB’million RMB’million RMB’million Earnings Net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company 4,155 3,029 3,677 Number of shares Year ended December 31, 2020 2021 2022 Shares Weighted average ordinary shares outstanding, used in computing basic 3,313,527,847 3,321,067,177 3,203,995,973 Dilution effect- adjustments for share options and RSUs 46,932,912 41,978,580 30,511,383 Shares used in computing diluted earnings per share 3,360,460,759 3,363,045,757 3,234,507,356 RMB RMB RMB Basic earnings per share for Class A and Class B ordinary shares 1.25 0.91 1.15 Diluted earnings per share for Class A and Class B ordinary shares 1.24 0.90 1.14 Basic earnings per ADS 2.51 1.82 2.30 Diluted earnings per ADS 2.47 1.80 2.27 Note: One ADS represents two Class A ordinary shares of the Company.

Goodwill	16. Goodwill Year ended December 31, 2021 2022 RMB’million RMB’million At January 1 17,492 19,121 Business combinations 1,641 372 Disposals ( 12 ) - At December 31 19,121 19,493 For the purpose of goodwill impairment tests, goodwill was allocated to the group of CGUs below the level of operating segment of the Group. Goodwill of approximately RMB 17.8 billion, mainly arose from the Merger in 2016 (Note 1.1) and the acquired long-form audio company was allocated to the related online music and social entertainment operations. The remaining goodwill was related to certain other business acquired. The Group carries out its impairment testing on goodwill at each year end by comparing the recoverable amounts of CGUs to their carrying amounts. The recoverable amount of CGUs is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The Group adopted value in use for all of the goodwill impairment assessment except for that of overseas business which adopted fair value less costs of disposal.. For online music and social entertainment operations as stated above, value in use using discounted cash flows was calculated based on five-year financial projections with an average compound annual revenue growth of not more than 5 % (2021: not more than 5 %) plus a terminal value related to cash flows beyond the projection period extrapolated at an estimated terminal growth rate of not more than 3 % (2021: not more than 3 %). Pre-tax discount rate of 14.0 % (2021: 14.0 %) was applied, which reflected assessment of time value and specific risks relating to the industries that the Group operates in. For the other business, value in use using discounted cash flows was calculated, generally, based on five-year financial projections with an average compound annual revenue growth of not more than 14 % (2021: not more than 26 %) plus an estimated terminal growth rate of not more than 3 % (2021: not more than 3 %). Pre-tax discount rates of 16.0 % (2021: 16.0 %) were applied, which reflected assessment of time value and specific risks relating to the industries that the Group operates in. In respect of the market approach adopted, the fair value less costs of disposal was primarily determined based on ratios of enterprise value to revenue of several comparable public companies (range: 0.5 x – 2.8 x), where the fair value was determined as level 3 according to the principle set out in Note 3.3. The comparable public companies were chosen based on factors such as industry similarity, company size, profitability and financial risks etc. Management leveraged their experiences in the industries and provided forecast based on past performance and their anticipation of future business and market developments. Management has not identified reasonably possible change in key assumptions that could cause carrying amounts of the above CGUs applied discounted cash flows method to exceed their respective recoverable amounts as material headroom resulted from the impairment reviews over their respective carrying amounts. No impairment had been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.

(iv) Repurchase of shares In December 2019, the board of directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase scheme under which the Company might repurchase up to US$ 400 million of its Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs during a twelve-month period commencing on December 15, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 1,936,742 ADSs from open market, at an aggregate consideration of approximately US$ 19 million. In March 2021, the board of directors of the Company authorized another share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), under which the Company may repurchase up to US$ 1 billion of its Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs (the “Repurchase Amount”). The first half of the Repurchase Amount has been completed during a twelve-month period commencing on March 29, 2021 while the second half of the Amount has been approved to perform during a twelve-month period commencing on December 15, 2021. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company repurchased 49,046,329 and 84,780,686 ADSs from the open market, at an aggregate consideration of approximately US$ 553 million and US$ 447 million in cash, respectively, under the Share Repurchase Program.

In 2022, the Company executed certain cash-enhanced share repurchase transactions under the Share Repurchase Program with third-party financial institutions with agreements to repurchase its shares at pre-determined purchase prices. The transactions expired in 2022 with no shares being repurchased.

The consideration comprised cash proceeds of US$ 67 million (equivalents to approximately RMB 437 million) and business cooperation arrangements, in form of content cooperation, valued at approximately US$ 56 million (equivalents to approximately RMB 365 million). These shares rank pari passu in all respects with the shares in issue except that there is lock up period of 3 years on these shares and the holders have the right to sell their shares to the Company during the lock up period at a pre-determined price (“Put Right”). This arrangement is accounted for as compound instrument under share-based compensation arrangement with a debt component, representing the holders’ right to demand payment by exercising the Put Right, which is accounted for as cash-settled share-based compensation and the residual is an equity component accounted for as equity-settled shared-based compensation. Upon the issuance, the present value of the estimated outflows of cash in relation to the Put Right of approximately US$ 67 million (equivalent to approximately RMB 437 million) was recognized as a liability and subsequently measured at fair value. The residual balance of approximately US$ 56 million (equivalent to approximately RMB 365 million) is accounted for as an equity-settled share-based compensation and recognized in equity. In January 2021, the Put Right expired and a carrying amount of RMB 535 million of the relevant liability was derecognized and reclassified to equity accordingly.

Contingent liabilities

Disclosure of contingent liabilities [abstract]
Contingent liabilities	33. Contingent liabilities The Group is involved in a number of claims pending with various courts, or otherwise unresolved as at December 31, 2022. These claims are mainly related to alleged copyright infringement with an aggregate amount of damages sought of approximately RMB 258 million. Adverse results in these claims may include awards of damages and may also result in, or even compel a change in the Company’s business practices, which could impact the Company’s future financial results materially. In addition, in September 2019 and October 2019, respectively, the Company, certain of its current and former directors and officers, and Tencent bearing the status as the Company’s controlling shareholder, were named as defendants in two putative securities class actions filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York and the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. Both actions, purportedly brought on behalf of a class of persons who allegedly suffered damages as a result of their trading in the ADSs, allege that the Company’s public filings contained material misstatements and omissions in violation of the U.S. federal securities laws. Complaints related to these claims were filed and the Company served motions to dismiss the complaints. These actions remain in their preliminary stages. With the legal advice, the Company believes these cases are without merit and intends to defend actions vigorously. The Company is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or a range of reasonably possible losses for proceedings in the early stages or where there is a lack of clear or consistent interpretation of laws specific to the industry-specific complaints among different jurisdictions. Although the results of unsettled litigations and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that, as at December 31, 2022, there was at least a reasonable possibility that the Company may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss in excess of the accrued expenses, with respect to such loss contingencies. The Group had made certain accruals in “Accounts payable” in the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2022 and recognized related costs as expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022. The losses accrued include judgments handed down by the court and out-of-court settlements after December 31, 2022, but related to cases arising on or before December 31, 2022. All these amounts were not material. The Company is in the process of appealing in certain cases. However, the ultimate timing and outcome of pending litigation is inherently uncertain. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of a material loss for all pending claims, both asserted and unasserted, to be remote, if one or more of these legal matters were resolved against the Company in the same reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the Company’s consolidated financial statements of a particular reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

Disclosure Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of preparation	2.1. Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of other investments, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, short-term investments, other financial liabilities which are carried at fair value. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
New and amendments to the accounting standards adopted and recent accounting pronouncements	2.2. New and amendments to the accounting standards adopted and recent accounting pronouncements (a) New and amendments to the accounting standards adopted The following standards and amendments have been adopted by the Group for the first time for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2022: Amendments to IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment: Proceeds before intended use Amendments to IAS 37 Onerous contracts – cost of fulfilling a contract Amendments to IFRSs Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 Cycle Amendments to IFRS 3 Reference to the Conceptual Framework The adoption of these standards does not have material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. (b) Recent accounting pronouncements The following new standards and amendments to standards have not come into effect for the financial year beginning January 1, 2022, and have not been early adopted by the Group in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these new standards and amendments to standards is expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Effective for annual IFRS 17 Insurance contracts January 1, 2023 Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Disclosure of Accounting Policies January 1, 2023 Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates January 1, 2023 Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single January 1, 2023 Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current January 1, 2024 Amendments to IAS 1 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants January 1, 2024 Amendments to IFRS 16 Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback January 1, 2024 Amendments to IAS 28 and IFRS Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate To be determined The Group considers the lease as a single transaction in which the assets and liabilities are integrally linked. There is no net temporary difference at inception. Subsequently, when differences on settlement of the liabilities and the amortization of right-of-use assets arise, there will be a net temporary difference on which deferred tax is recognized. Upon the effective date of amendments to IAS 12 on January 1, 2023, the Group recognized an immaterial amount of deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for the temporary differences arising on a lease on initial recognition.
Principles of consolidation and equity accounting	2.3. Principles of consolidation and equity accounting (a) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including VIEs as stated in Note 1.2 above) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet, respectively. (b) Associates Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally but not necessarily accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting (see (d) below), after initially being recognized at cost. (c) Joint ventures Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures. Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (see (d) below), after initially being recognized at cost in the consolidated balance sheet. (d) Equity method Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in Note 2.11 whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount may be impaired in accordance with Note 2.12 (b).
Business combinations	2.4. Business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations except for the business combinations under common control as stated below, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the: • fair values of the assets transferred • liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business • equity interests issued by the Group • fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and • fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The excess of the: • consideration transferred, • amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and • acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss. Business combination under common control The Group accounts for the business combination between entities under common control using the predecessor accounting. For predecessor accounting: • Assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are stated at predecessor carrying values. Fair value measurement is not required. • No new goodwill arises in predecessor accounting. • Any difference between the consideration given and the aggregate carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity at the date of the transaction is included in equity in retained earnings or in a separate reserve. The Group does not restate any assets and liabilities of the acquired entity. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are consolidated using the predecessor’s amounts from the controlling party’s perspective. No new goodwill is recorded. Any difference between the cost of investment and the carrying value of the net assets is recorded in equity as merger reserve. The Group elects to incorporate the acquired entity’s results only from the date on which the business combination between entities under common control occurred. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect the results of the acquired entity for the period before the transaction occurred. The corresponding amount for the previous year is also not restated.
Segment reporting	2.5. Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments and making strategic decisions. The Group’s chief operating decision makers have been identified as executive directors of the Company, who review the consolidated results of operations when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group as a whole. For the purpose of internal reporting and management’s operation review, the chief operating decision-makers and management personnel do not segregate the Group’s business by product or service lines. Hence, the Group has only one operating segment. In addition, the Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. As the Group’s assets and liabilities are substantially located in the PRC, substantially all revenues are earned and substantially all expenses are incurred in the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.
Foreign currency translation	2.6. Foreign currency translation (a) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”). As the major operations of the Group are within the PRC, the Group presents its consolidated financial statements in Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated. (b) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in the income statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the income statement, within finance cost. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement on a net basis within finance cost. (c) Group companies The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet • income and expenses for each income statement and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and • all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are recognized in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gains or losses on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. Currency translation differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Property, plant and equipment	2.7. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term as follows: Servers and network equipment 3 – 5 years Office furniture, equipment and others 3 – 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of expected lives of leasehold improvements and lease terms The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Construction in progress represents buildings under construction and pending installation and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes amortization of land use rights and the costs of construction of buildings. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2.11). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the income statement.
Land use rights	2.8. Land use rights Land use rights are up-front payment to acquire long-term interests in land. The payment is stated at cost and charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of the lease.
Goodwill	2.9. Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to CGUs for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, below the operating segment.
Other intangible assets	2.10. Other intangible assets (a) Domain name, trademark and Internet audio/video program transmission license Separately acquired domain name, trademark and Internet audio/video program transmission license are shown at historical cost. These assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Domain name, trademark and Internet audio/video program transmission license have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of these assets and over their respective useful live of no more than 12 years . The useful lives of these assets are the periods over which they are expected to be available for use by the Group, and the management of the Group also take into account of past experience when estimating the useful lives. (b) Separately acquired and internal developed content and copyrights Separately acquired content and copyrights are shown at historical cost. The Group also produces or/and contracts with external parties to produce content to exhibit on its platforms. Produced content includes direct production costs, production overheads and acquisition costs. The Group recognizes internal developed content as intangible assets only when the following criteria are met: the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset exists, there is an intent to complete and an ability to use or sell the intangible asset, the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, there are adequate resources available to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and there is the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Capitalized in-house produced content are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 1 to 5 years, while separately acquired content and copyrights are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 1 to 10 years. (c) Other intangible assets acquired in a business combination not under common control Other intangible assets acquired in a business combination not under a common control transaction are recognized initially at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently carried at the amount initially recognized less accumulated amortization and impairment loss, if any. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the costs of acquired intangible assets over the following estimated useful lives: Online users 1 year Corporate customer relationship 3 - 9 years Supplier resources 5 - 8 years Non-compete agreements 4 - 9 years Copyrights 3 - 7 years
Impairment of non-financial assets	2.11. Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment review on the goodwill of the Group is conducted by the management as at December 31 according to IAS 36 “Impairment of assets”. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (CGUs). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Investments and other financial assets	2.12. Investments and other financial assets (a) Classification and measurement The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: • those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and • those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Group reclassifies debt investments only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the assets. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. Debt instruments Initial recognition and subsequent measurement of debt instruments depend on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments: • Amortized cost: Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are classified as and measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is recognized using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in “other gains, net” together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the income statement. • Fair value through other comprehensive income: Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment losses or reversals, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in “other gains, net”. Interest income from these financial assets is recognized using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses or reversals are presented in “other gains, net”. • Fair value through profit or loss: Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as and measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss and presented in “other gains, net” for the period in which it arises. Equity instruments The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in “other gains, net” in the income statement as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. (b) Impairment The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For accounts receivable and contract assets, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized since initial recognition of the receivables. Impairment on deposits and other receivables is measured as either 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If a significant increase in credit risk of a deposit or receivable has occurred since initial recognition, the impairment is measured as lifetime expected credit losses. (c) Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Company has also entered into arrangements that do not meet the criteria for offsetting but still allow for the related amounts to be set off in certain circumstances, such as bankruptcy or the termination of a contract.
Inventories	2.13. Inventories Inventories, mainly consisting of merchandise for sale, are primarily accounted for using the weighted average method and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Accounts receivable	2.14. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are generally due for settlement within 30 to 90 days and therefore are all classified as current.
Short-term investments	2.15. Short-term investments Short-term investments are investments issued by commercial banks in the PRC with a variable return and accounted for as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (see Note 2.12 above). Since these investments’ maturity dates are within one year, they are classified as current assets.
Cash and cash equivalents	2.16. Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less.
Share capital	2.17. Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where any Group company purchases the Company’s equity instruments, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders as treasury shares until the shares are canceled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received (net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs) is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
Accounts and other payables	2.18. Accounts and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 1 year of recognition. Accounts and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period.
Borrowings (including notes payable)	2.19. Borrowings (including notes payable) Borrowings (including notes payable) issued by the Group are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. They are subsequently carried at amortized cost. Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated income statement over their terms using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan facilities to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the term of the facility to which it relates. Notes payable are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. General and specific finance costs directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, no finance costs had been capitalized.
Current and deferred income tax	2.20. Current and deferred income tax The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. (a) Current income tax The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. (b) Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. (c) Offsetting Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. (d) Uncertain tax positions In determining the amount of current and deferred income tax, the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes, interest or penalties may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities. Such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.
Employee benefits	2.21. Employee benefits (a) Employee leave entitlements Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period. Employee entitlements to sick and maternity leave are not recognized until the time of leave. (b) Pension obligations The Group participates in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans which are available to all relevant employees. These plans are generally funded through payments to schemes established by governments or trustee-administered funds. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays contributions on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis into a separate fund. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee services in the current and prior periods. The Group’s contributions to the defined contribution plans are expensed as incurred and not reduced by contributions forfeited by those employees who leave the plan prior to vesting fully in the contributions.
Share-based payments	2.22. Share-based payments The Group operates a number of equity-settled share-based compensation plan (including share option schemes and share award schemes), under which the Group receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (including stock options and RSUs of the Group. In addition, the controlling shareholder, Tencent, also operates certain share-based compensation plans (mainly share option schemes and share award schemes) which may cover the employees of the Group. Share awards granted to the employees of the Group are measured at the grant date based on the fair value of equity instruments and are recognized as an expense over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied, and credited to equity as “share-based compensation reserve” if it is related to equity instruments of the Company or as “contribution from ultimate holding company” if it is related to equity instruments of Tencent. For grant of share options, the total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted by using Binomial model (the “Binomial Model”). The determination of the fair value is affected by the share price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including the expected share price volatility, expected forfeiture rate, risk-free interest rates, contract life and expected dividends. For grant of award shares, the total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the Company or market price of Tencent’s shares at the grant date. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised in the subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. If a share-based arrangement involving a compound financial instrument issued by the Group, which includes a debt component (i.e. the counterparty’s right to demand payment in cash) and an equity component (i.e. the counterparty’s right to demand settlement in equity instruments rather than in cash), to any party other than employees, the Group measures the equity component of the compound financial instrument as the difference between the fair value of the goods or services received and the fair value of the debt component, at the date when the goods or services are received. If a compound financial instrument issued by the Group to the employees, the Group first measures the fair value of the debt component, and then measures the fair value of the equity component—taking into account that the counterparty must forfeit the right to receive cash in order to receive the equity instrument. The fair value of the compound financial instrument is the sum of the fair values of the two components. The debt component will be accounted for as a cash-settled share-based payment transaction; and the equity component will be accounted for as an equity-settled share-based payment.
Provisions	2.23. Provisions Provisions for legal claims and service warranties are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Revenue recognition	2.24. Revenue recognition The Group generates revenues primarily from provision of music entertainment services, such as paid music, virtual gifts sales and content sublicensing, and online advertising. Revenue is recognized when or as the control of the services or goods is transferred to the customer. Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that are applied to the contract, control of the services and goods may be transferred over time or at a point in time. (a) Revenue from online music services Online music services revenues primarily include revenues from subscriptions, sale of digital music singles and albums, content sublicensing and online advertising on the Group’s online music platforms. The Group provides to users certain subscription packages which entitle paying subscribers a fixed amount of non-accumulating downloads per month and access to pay-for-streaming content with certain privilege features on its music platforms. The subscription fee for these packages is time-based and is collected upfront from subscribers. The terms of time-based subscriptions range from one month to twelve months. The receipt of subscription fee is initially recorded as deferred revenue. The Group satisfies its various performance obligations by providing services throughout the subscription period and revenue is recognized over time accordingly. The Group also provides its users to purchase early release access to certain new digital music singles and albums. These singles and albums can be downloaded and streamed only through the Group’s platform. Such music singles and albums will be made available to all users to access after the initial launch period which is generally three months. The Group considers that it provides the early access to the newly launched singles and albums within its platform as opposed to providing functional intellectual property to the users. As a result, the performance obligation of providing early access is satisfied, and revenue is recognized over time accordingly. The above services can be paid directly by users by way of online payment channels or through various third-party platforms. The Group records revenue on the gross basis according to the criteria stated in (c) below and recognizes service fees levied by online payment channels or third-party platforms (“Channel Fees”) as the cost of revenues in the same period as the related revenue is recognized. The Group sublicenses certain of the Group’s music content to other music platforms for a fixed period of time, typically one year, that falls within the original license period of the underlying content. The Group is obliged to replicate the licensed content library for any subsequent changes in the content, including any new content or removal of existing content, updated by the content partners any time during the sublicensing period. As a result, the Group determines sublicensing of content as a single performance obligation. Revenues from sublicensing the content are recognized over the sublicensing period. The Group only recognizes revenue when it is highly probable that this will not result in a significant reversal of revenue when any uncertainty is resolved. The Group does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of any significant financing component as the sublicensing period is typically one year. Advertising revenue is primarily generated through display advertisements (“display ads”) on the Group’s platforms. Advertising contracts are signed to establish the fixed prices and advertising services to be provided based on cost per display (“CPD”) or cost per mille (“CPM”) arrangements. When the collectability is reasonably assured, advertising revenues from the CPD arrangements that are display ads for an agreed period of time, are recognized ratably over the contract period of display based on a time-based measure of progress as the performance obligation is expended evenly over the period, while revenue from the CPM arrangements are recognized based on the number of times that the advertisement has been displayed. The Group allocates revenue to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis which is determined with reference to the prices charged to customers. The Group also entered into contracts with third-party advertising agencies or entities controlled by Tencent, which represent the Group in negotiation and contracting with advertisers. The Group shares with these advertising agencies a portion of the revenues the Group derives from the advertisers. Revenues are recognized on a gross or net basis based on an assessment made according to the criteria stated in (c) below. If revenue for advertising derived through these advertising agencies are recorded at the gross amount, the portion remitted to advertising agencies, including any cash incentive in the form of commissions, is recorded as cost of revenues. If revenue for advertising derived through these advertising agencies are recorded at the net amount, the related cash incentives, in the form of commissions paid/payable to any advertising agencies based on volume and performance, are accounted for as a reduction of revenue, based on the expected performance. (b) Revenue from social entertainment services and others The Group offers virtual gifts to users for free or sell virtual gifts to users on the Group’s online karaoke and live streaming platforms. The virtual gifts are sold to users at different specified prices as pre-determined by the Group. The utilization of each virtual gift sold to users is considered as the performance obligation and the Group allocates revenue to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, which are determined based on the prices charged to the customers. Virtual gifts are categorized as consumable, time-based and durable. Consumable items are consumed upon purchase and use, while time-based items could be used for a fixed period. The Group does not have further obligations to the user after the virtual gifts are consumed immediately or after the stated period for time-based items. The revenue for the sale of consumable virtual gifts on the online karaoke and online broadcasting platforms is recognized immediately when a virtual item is consumed or, in the case of a time-based virtual item, recognized ratably over the useful life of the items, which generally does not exceed one year. The Group recognizes the revenue for sale of durable virtual gifts over their estimated lifespans of no longer than six months, which are determined by the management based on the expected service period derived from historical data of the Group’s user relationship periods, given there is an implicit obligation of the Group to maintain the virtual gifts operating on its platforms. The Group may share with performers a portion of the revenues derived from the sales of the virtual gifts on the online karaoke and live streaming platforms. Revenues for the sales of virtual gifts are recorded at the gross amount, with the portion shared with performers recorded as cost of revenues, as the Group considers itself the primary obligor in the sales of virtual gifts with the Group possesses the latitude in establishing prices; and the rights to determine the specifications or change the virtual gifts. The Group also generates revenue from online karaoke and live streaming services by selling premium memberships that provide paying users with certain privileges. The fees for these packages are time-based ranging from one month to twelve months and are collected up-front from the respective subscribers. The receipt of the subscription fees is initially recorded as deferred revenue. The Group satisfies its performance obligation by providing services over the subscription period and revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period. The Group also generates advertising revenue from its social entertainment platforms and the policies for recognized advertising revenue is described in Note 2.24(a) above. (c) Principal and agent consideration The Group reports the revenue on a gross or net basis depending on whether the Group is acting as a principal or an agent in a transaction. The determination of whether to report the revenues of the Group on a gross or net basis is based on an evaluation made of various factors, including but not limited to whether the Group (i) is the primary obligor in the arrangement; (ii) has latitude in establishing the selling price; (iii) changes the product or performs part of the service; (iv) has involvement in the determination of product and service specifications. The Group does not disclose the information about the remaining performance obligations as the performance obligations of the Group have an expected duration of one year or less. (d) Contract liabilities and contract costs A contract liability is the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received a consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Contract costs include incremental costs of obtaining a contract and costs to fulfil a contract. The contract costs are amortized using a method which is consistent with the pattern of recognition of the respective revenues. The Group has applied the practical expedient to recognize the contract cost relating to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred, if otherwise the amortization period is one year or less.
Interest income	2.25. Interest income Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance).
Cost of revenues	2.26. Cost of revenues Cost of revenues mainly consists of service costs, advertising agency fees, channel fees, amortization of intangible assets, salaries and benefits for its operations personnel (including related share-based compensation) and others. Service costs mainly comprised royalty payments to music content providers, revenue sharing with performers on the online karaoke and live streaming platforms, and content delivery costs that primarily consisted of servers, cloud services and bandwidth costs. Payment arrangements with music content providers are mainly calculated under pre-determined revenue sharing ratios which are determined based on the actual usage of the content. Certain arrangements require the Group to pay non-recoupable royalty in advance. The Group expenses the non-recoupable royalty on a straight-line basis over the relevant contractual periods and accrues additional royalty costs when revenue sharing during a contractual period is expected to exceed the non-recoupable royalty amounts.
Selling and marketing expenses	2.27. Selling and marketing expenses Selling and marketing expenses mainly consist of advertising expenses for branding and acquiring user traffic for the Group’s online music show platforms, salaries and commissions for our sales and marketing personnel (including related share-based compensation) and intangible assets amortization. Advertising costs are included in “Selling and marketing” and are expensed when the service is received.
General and administrative expenses	2.28. General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses mainly consist of salaries and benefits for management and administrative personnel and research and development personnel (including related share-based compensation), rental and depreciation expenses related to facilities and equipment used by our research and development team, professional service expense, amortization of intangible assets and other general corporate expenses. The Group recognizes research and development related costs as expenses when incurred, as the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been immaterial.
Government grants	2.29. Government grants Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Leases	2.30. Leases Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Group allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable • variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date • amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees • the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option. Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the group: • where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received • uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by the Group, which does not have recent third-party financing, and • makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security. The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset. Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance costs. The finance cost is charged to income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received • any initial direct costs, and • restoration costs. Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. The lease terms of building and others are generally less than six years and less than two years , respectively. Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.
Dividends distribution	2.31. Dividends distribution Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders or directors, where appropriate. Distribution of non-cash assets to the Company’s shareholders is recognized and measured at the fair value of the non-cash assets to be distributed. Any difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the non-cash assets to be distributed is recognized in the income statement.

(i) During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company transferred 983,764 and 11,906,200 Class A ordinary shares from the Treasury shares to the grantees for the exercise of share options/RSUs, respectively. (ii) During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Share Scheme Trust withheld 1,046,852 , 1,878,732 and 1,188,136 Class A ordinary shares of the Company for an amount of approximately RMB 47 million, RMB 105 million and RMB 19 million which had been deducted from the equity. (iii) As at December 31, 2021, and 2022, 16,297,722 and 53,270,922 Class A ordinary shares are held in the Share Scheme Trust for the purpose of granting awarded shares to the participants under the Share Award Schemes, respectively. In September 2022, the Company issued 42,000,000 Class A ordinary shares to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for future granting of awards under the Company’s share incentive plans and/or such other purposes as the Company may determine in its absolute discretion. (iv) Repurchase of shares In December 2019, the board of directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase scheme under which the Company might repurchase up to US$ 400 million of its Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs during a twelve-month period commencing on December 15, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 1,936,742 ADSs from open market, at an aggregate consideration of approximately US$ 19 million. In March 2021, the board of directors of the Company authorized another share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), under which the Company may repurchase up to US$ 1 billion of its Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs (the “Repurchase Amount”). The first half of the Repurchase Amount has been completed during a twelve-month period commencing on March 29, 2021 while the second half of the Amount has been approved to perform during a twelve-month period commencing on December 15, 2021. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company repurchased 49,046,329 and 84,780,686 ADSs from the open market, at an aggregate consideration of approximately US$ 553 million and US$ 447 million in cash, respectively, under the Share Repurchase Program. The Company accounts for the repurchased ordinary shares as treasury stock under the cost method, and records it as a component of the shareholders’ equity. In 2022, the Company executed certain cash-enhanced share repurchase transactions under the Share Repurchase Program with third-party financial institutions with agreements to repurchase its shares at pre-determined purchase prices. The transactions expired in 2022 with no shares being repurchased. The Company received US$ 9.16 million (equivalent to approximately RMB 75 million), as premiums derivated according to the terms of these transactions. These premiums were recognized directly within equity. (v) Puttable ordinary shares From January to March 2018, the Company allotted and issued 24,757,517 ordinary shares of the Company to certain investors for an aggregate consideration of US$ 123 million (equivalents to approximately RMB 803 million). The consideration comprised cash proceeds of US$ 67 million (equivalents to approximately RMB 437 million) and business cooperation arrangements, in form of content cooperation, valued at approximately US$ 56 million (equivalents to approximately RMB 365 million). These shares rank pari passu in all respects with the shares in issue except that there is lock up period of 3 years on these shares and the holders have the right to sell their shares to the Company during the lock up period at a pre-determined price (“Put Right”). This arrangement is accounted for as compound instrument under share-based compensation arrangement with a debt component, representing the holders’ right to demand payment by exercising the Put Right, which is accounted for as cash-settled share-based compensation and the residual is an equity component accounted for as equity-settled shared-based compensation. Upon the issuance, the present value of the estimated outflows of cash in relation to the Put Right of approximately US$ 67 million (equivalent to approximately RMB 437 million) was recognized as a liability and subsequently measured at fair value. The residual balance of approximately US$ 56 million (equivalent to approximately RMB 365 million) is accounted for as an equity-settled share-based compensation and recognized in equity. In January 2021, the Put Right expired and a carrying amount of RMB 535 million of the relevant liability was derecognized and reclassified to equity accordingly.
