Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Total net revenues in the third quarter of 2020 increased by 37.0% to RMB2,546.5 million (US$373.3 million) from RMB1,858.5 million in the same period of 2019, primarily driven by the increase in live streaming revenues.

1

Live streaming revenues in the third quarter of 2020 increased by 41.3% to RMB2,348.7 million (US$344.3 million) from RMB1,662.4 million in the same period of 2019. This increase was primarily due to the Company’s optimization of its platform’s interactive features to further cultivate the paying habits of its existing users as well as its continuous refinement of event models to attract new paying users.

Advertising and other revenues in the third quarter of 2020 increased to RMB197.8 million (US$29.0 million) from RMB196.1 million in the same period of 2019, primarily attributable to the Company’s enhanced brand recognition and the corresponding increase in demand for streamers’ integrated advertising and promotion solutions.

Cost of revenues in the third quarter of 2020 increased by 41.2% to RMB2,177.1 million (US$319.1 million) from RMB1,541.7 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the increases in revenue sharing fees and content costs.

Revenue sharing fees and content costs in the third quarter of 2020 increased by 48.9% to RMB1,949.1 million (US$285.7 million) from RMB1,308.8 million in the same period of 2019. Such increase was primarily due to the following reasons: 1) increases in revenue sharing fees, which were mainly attributable to increased total net revenues and higher incentives paid to streamers during certain notable fans events, 2) increases in investment in quality streamers in overseas markets, such as Japan, which was in line with the Company’s content expansion initiatives, 3) increases in eSports-related content costs and broadcast rights expenses as the Company ramped up its content production and broadcast initiatives for the second half of 2020.

Bandwidth costs in the third quarter of 2020 increased by 12.1% to RMB169.1 million (US$24.8 million) from RMB150.8 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the Company’s increased user growth and improved user engagement, which were partially offset by the efficiency improvements resulting from the Company’s technical upgrades.

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2020 increased by 16.6% to RMB369.4 million (US$54.2 million) from RMB316.8 million in the same period of 2019. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2020 was 14.5%, compared with 17.0% in the same period of 2019.

Sales and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by 7.5% to RMB160.3 million (US$23.5 million) from RMB173.2 million in the same period of 2019, primarily attributable to the decrease in share-based compensation expenses recognized in the third quarter of 2019 following the Company’s IPO.

Research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by 8.6% to RMB109.6 million (US$16.1 million) from RMB119.9 million in the same period of 2019, mainly due to the decrease in share-based compensation expenses recognized in the third quarter of 2019 following the Company’s IPO, which was partially offset by both the increase in expenditures for the research and development of new products and increased headcount of the Company’s overseas research and development personnel.

General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by 59.6% to RMB94.2 million (US$13.8 million) from RMB232.9 million in the same period of 2019, mainly due to the decrease in share-based compensation expenses recognized in the third quarter of 2019 following the Company’s IPO, which was partially offset by the increase in professional service fees.

2

Other operating income, net in the third quarter of 2020 was RMB32.5 million (US$4.8 million), compared with RMB11.8 million in the same period of 2019.

Income from operations in the third quarter of 2020 was RMB37.9 million (US$5.6 million), compared with an operating loss of RMB197.4 million in the same period of 2019.

Adjusted operating income¹ in the third quarter of 2020, which includes share-based compensation expenses, increased by 130.7% to RMB71.2 million (US$10.4 million) from RMB30.8 million in the same period of 2019.

Income tax expenses in the third quarter of 2020 and 2019 were nil due to the Company’s cumulative net losses and the resulting tax loss carryforward.

Net income in the third quarter of 2020 was RMB59.6 million (US$8.7 million), compared with a net loss of RMB165.4 million in the same period of 2019.

Adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2020, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, share of income in equity method investments, and impairment loss of investments, was RMB98.7 million (US$14.5 million), compared with RMB72.2 million in the same period of 2019, implying an adjusted net margin of 3.9% for the third quarter of 2020.

Basic and diluted net income per ADS² in the third quarter of 2020 were RMB0.27 (US$0.04) and RMB0.26 (US$0.04) respectively. Adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS in the third quarter of 2020 were RMB0.39 (US$0.06) and RMB0.39 (US$0.06) respectively.

Recent Development

On October 12, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with HUYA Inc. (“Huya”), Tiger Company Ltd., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Huya, and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, Nectarine Investment Limited (“Tencent”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tencent Holdings Limited. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, DouYu will be combined with and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Huya through a stock-for-stock merger. Upon completion, the shareholders of Huya and DouYu immediately prior to the Merger, respectively, will each hold approximately 50% of the total ordinary shares of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.

¹  “Adjusted operating income” is defined as operating income adding back share-based compensation expenses. For more information, refer to “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.

²  Every ten ADSs represent one ordinary share.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, DouYu and Tencent entered into a Reassignment Agreement, pursuant to which Tencent will assign its interests in the game live streaming business operated by the Tencent group under the “Penguin e-Sports” brand to DouYu for a total consideration of US$500 million.

The Merger, which is currently expected to close during the first half of 2021, is subject to customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the Merger will be completed during the first half of 2021 or at all.

In connection with the proposed merger transaction pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Huya has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4 that will include a proxy statement of DouYu that also constitutes a prospectus of Huya relating to Class A ordinary shares and American depositary shares of Huya to be offered as merger consideration in the Merger. In connection with the proposed merger transaction pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, DouYu has filed with the SEC a Schedule 13E-3 transaction statement. Huya and DouYu urge investors and security holders to read the proxy statement/prospectus and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety, because they will contain important information about Huya, DouYu, the Penguin Business and the Merger.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted operating income (loss) is calculated as operating income (loss) adjusted for share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted net income is calculated as net loss adjusted for share-based compensation expenses, share of income (loss) in equity method investments and impairment loss on investments. Adjusted net income attributable to DouYu is calculated as net income attributable to DouYu adjusted for share-based compensation expenses, share of income (loss) in equity method investments and impairment loss of investments. Adjusted basic and diluted net income per ordinary share is non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ordinary share. The Company adjusted the non-cash impact of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) share of income (loss) in equity method investments and (iii) impairment loss of investments to understand and evaluate the Company’s core operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations as analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for, or superior to, such metrics in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results” near the end of this release.
