Average mobile MAUs[3] of Huya Live for the fourth quarter of 2023 remained flat at 85.5 million, compared with 85.5 million for the same period of 2022.

Total net revenues for fiscal year 2023 were RMB6,994.3 million (US$985.1 million), compared with RMB9,264.4 million for 2022. Net loss attributable to HUYA Inc. for fiscal year 2023 was RMB204.5 million (US$28.8 million), compared with RMB547.7 million for 2022. Non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc. for fiscal year 2023 was RMB119.1 million (US$16.8 million), compared with a non-GAAP net loss attributable to HUYA Inc. of RMB290.7 million for 2022.

Mr. Junhong Huang, Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Huya, commented, "In the fourth quarter of 2023, we continued to attract and engage a broad audience with rich game and e-sports content while upgrading interactive features to enhance the viewing experience. Meanwhile, we made good progress in revamping our technology, products, and operational strategies to provide more innovative game-related services. As a result, Huya Live’s user base remained stable during the quarter, with average mobile MAUs of 85.5 million. Paying users[4] on Huya Live increased sequentially for the fourth quarter, rising marginally to 4.3 million thanks to more users paying for our platform’s new game-related service offerings. As we enter 2024, despite the rapidly changing market conditions, we will continue to solidify our core live streaming business while propelling the development of game-related services to expand our business horizons and unlock new revenue streams. We remain confident in our future business prospects as we steadily implement our strategic transformation."
"Given the soft industry environment along with our proactive business adjustments, our live streaming revenues contracted in the fourth quarter. Nevertheless, we were encouraged to see that advertising and other revenues increased by 40.5% quarter-over-quarter and by 29.2% year-over-year, mainly due to the growth of game advertising and distribution revenues as we deepened cooperation with game companies," said Ms. Ashley Xin Wu, Huya’s Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance. "For the full year of 2023, we recorded total net revenues of approximately RMB7 billion. However, we drove a meaningful year-over-year margin expansion across the board through continuous, comprehensive efforts to improve cost efficiency and operational performance. Also, we’re committed to enhancing shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation. As of the end of 2023, we had repurchased US$28.8 million of Huya shares. In addition, we’re pleased to declare a special cash dividend totaling approximately US$150 million for our shareholders. Going forward, we will continue to strengthen our operational and financial capabilities to drive sustainable development."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), except that the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, consolidated statements of cash flows, and the detailed notes have not been presented. Huya uses non-GAAP gross (loss) profit, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to HUYA Inc., non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net (loss) income per ordinary shares, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net (loss) income per ADS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP gross (loss) profit is gross (loss) profit excluding share-based compensation expenses allocated in cost of revenues. Non-GAAP operating loss is operating loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. Non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to HUYA Inc. is net (loss) income attributable to HUYA Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses, gain on fair value change of investments and disposal of equity investments, net of income taxes, impairment of goodwill and investments, loss on equity method investment, net of income taxes, and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable. Non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders is net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, gain on fair value change of investments and disposal of equity investments, net of income taxes, impairment of goodwill and investments, loss on equity method investment, net of income taxes, and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net (loss) income per ADS is non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of ADS used in the calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net (loss) income per ADS. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the impact of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) gain on fair value change of investments and disposal of equity investments, net of income taxes, (iii) impairment of goodwill and investments, (iv) loss on equity method investment, net of income taxes, and (v) amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions (net of income taxes), add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures represent useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of (i) share-based compensation expenses, and (ii) amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions (net of income taxes), which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business, and (iii) gain on fair value change of investments and disposal of equity investments, net of income taxes, (iv) impairment of goodwill and investments, and (v) loss on equity method investment, net of income taxes, which may recur when there is observable price change in the future. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company’s net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider a non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "HUYA Inc. Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this announcement.
