BEIJING, March 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Momo Inc. (NASDAQ: MOMO) (“Momo” or the “Company”), a leading mobile social networking platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2019. 

Fourth Quarter of 2019 Highlights

Full Year 2019 Highlights

* This press release contains translations of certain Renminbi amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of readers. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from Renminbi to U.S. dollars, in this press release, were made at a rate of RMB6.9618 to US$1.00, the effective noon buying rate for December 31, 2019 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board.

“2019 was a fruitful year, with total net revenue up by 27%, net income up by 6% and Non-GAAP net income up by 30%. The strong financial performance is a testament of the competence of our team,” commented Yan Tang, Chairman and CEO of Momo. “Looking into the year 2020, we are going to continue to focus on enhancing user experience and drive product innovations in order to capture the many growth opportunities ahead of us.”

Fourth Quarter of 2019 Financial Results

Net revenues

Total net revenues were RMB4,687.9 million (US$673.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of 22% from RMB3,843.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Live video service revenues were RMB3,383.5 million (US$486.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of 14% from RMB2,959.2 million during the same period of 2018, as a result of the effective growth strategy to apply different products and operational efforts for different cohorts of users.

Value-added service revenues mainly include virtual gift revenues and membership subscription revenues. Total value-added service revenues were RMB1,189.1 million (US$170.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of 65% from RMB722.4 million during the same period of 2018. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the continued growth of the virtual gift business on the Momo application driven by more functions launched and more paying scenarios introduced to enhance the social experience of Momo users, and to a lesser extent, the increase in the membership subscription revenues of Tantan.

Mobile marketing revenues were RMB93.0 million (US$13.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of 24% from RMB122.1 million during the same period of 2018. The decrease in mobile marketing revenues was primarily caused by the decreased demand from our advertising and marketing customers and the decrease in advertisement properties on Momo’s platform.

Mobile games revenues were RMB14.4 million (US$2.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of 43% from RMB25.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease in mobile game revenues was mainly due to the continued decrease in quarterly paying users of mobile games.

Net revenues from Momo segment increased from RMB3,609.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 to RMB4,317.3 million (US$620.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily driven by the significant increase in net revenues from live video service and value-added service. Net revenues from Tantan segment increased from RMB223.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 to RMB369.8 million (US$53.1million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, which was mainly due to the increase in the number of paying users of Tantan.

Cost and expenses

Cost and expenses were RMB3,581.1 million (US$514.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of 12% from RMB3,195.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to: (a) an increase in revenue sharing with broadcasters related to our live video service and virtual gift recipients; (b) an increase in marketing and promotional expenses to attract users on both Momo and Tantan platforms and to promote our live video services; (c) an increase in infrastructure-related spending, such as bandwidth costs and server depreciation costs, driven by more functions introduced on Momo’s platform. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in production cost in connection with a television program.

Non-GAAP cost and expenses (note 1) were RMB3,374.9 million (US$484.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of 14% from RMB2,959.6 million during the same period of 2018.

Other operating income

Other operating income was RMB142.6 million (US$20.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase from RMB141.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2018. The other operating income mainly consisted of government incentives.

Income from operations

Loss from operations of Tantan segment was RMB202.7 million (US$29.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to loss from operations of RMB219.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Non-GAAP income from operations (note 1) was RMB1,455.7 million (US$209.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to RMB1,025.7 million during the same period of 2018. Non-GAAP income from operations of Momo segment was RMB1,593.9 million (US$229.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, increasing from RMB1,200.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP loss from operations of Tantan segment was RMB135.0 million (US$19.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to non-GAAP loss from operations of RMB92.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Income tax expenses

Income tax expenses were RMB253.7 million (US$36.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, increasing from RMB183.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was mainly because we generated higher profit in the fourth quarter of 2019.

This forecast considers the potential impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change, particularly as to the potential impact of the COVID-19 on the economy in China.

Note 1: Non-GAAP measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use various non-GAAP financial measures that are adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, and tax impacts related to the amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions.

Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are shown in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details about the non-GAAP financial measures.

Our non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information to help investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of our continuing operations and our prospects for the future. Our non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to the GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

Our non-GAAP information (including non-GAAP cost and operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss),net income attributable to Momo Inc., and diluted net income per ADS) is adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, and tax impacts related to the amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions and tax impacts related to the amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our results of operations. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to our U.S. GAAP measures. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this earnings release.
