  • Non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS6 increased by 56.2% to RMB10.39 (US$1.53) in the second quarter of 2017 from RMB6.65 in the corresponding period of 2016.

“I am excited to return as the acting CEO of the Company,” stated Mr. David Xueling Li, Chairman and acting Chief Executive Officer of YY. “We are delighted to report another quarter of robust financial and operating performances. During the second quarter of 2017, our live streaming business, including YY Live and Huya broadcasting, maintained rapid growth. Our mobile live streaming monthly active users (MAU) increased by 27.1% year over year to over 66.1 million, and our total live streaming paying users increased by 46.1% year over year to over 5.7 million. In particular, on YY Live, our new strategic initiatives have generated good results. In April 2017, we launched Happy Werewolf Kill, a small-room online social game. Since inception, it has gained exceptional popularity and quickly become a leading social game on mobile devices. In the second quarter, we also introduced the short-form video services in YY Live with more diverse content and social features, which further enhanced user engagement and stickiness on our platform. In addition to YY Live, Huya continued to deliver impressive results in both user growth and revenue generation. All the aforementioned achievements have fortified our leading position in China’s live streaming social media industry. Going forward, we will continue to expand product offerings on our live streaming social media platform, seek new and innovative ways to attract and engage users, and maintain our commitment to generate meaningful shareholder value.”

Mr. Bing Jin, Chief Financial Officer of YY, further commented, “We achieved substantial financial growth once again in the second quarter of 2017. Our total net revenues increased by 31.7% year over year to RMB2,609.0 million, exceeding the high end of our previous guidance range. This was primarily driven by the 42.9% year-over-year increase in our live streaming revenues, which reached RMB2,373.4 million in the quarter. Both YY Live and Huya broadcasting contributed to our rapid revenue growth. We have experienced an acceleration in YY Live’s revenue growth after we embedded into YY Live a new functionality called Happy Contest, which enables live streaming hosts to connect and compete with each other across different showrooms. Non-GAAP net income attributable to YY grew by 55.2% year over year to RMB597.2 million in the second quarter of 2017, of which Huya’s Non-GAAP operating losses further shrank year over year from RMB146.6 million to RMB11.1 million. Our Non-GAAP net margin2 expanded from 19.4% in the second quarter of 2016 to 22.9% in the second quarter of 2017, thanks to our increasing operating leverage and product cost and expense control. We remain committed to expanding our market share and sustaining our rapid growth. At the same time, we seek to further grow our revenue and closely monitor our spending to ensure effective return on investments.”
