2Q2019 Financial Review

Revenues from VAS increased by 14% to RMB48,080 million for the second quarter of 2019 on a year-on-year basis. Online games revenues grew by 8% to RMB27,307 million. The increase was primarily due to revenue growth from smart phone games, including existing titles such as Honour of Kings, PUBG MOBILE and Red Alert OL, and recently launched titles such as Perfect World Mobile, offset by a decline in revenues from PC client games. Social networks revenues grew by 23% to RMB20,773 million. The increase mainly reflected higher revenues from digital content services such as live broadcast services and video streaming subscriptions.

Revenues from FinTech and Business Services increased by 37% to RMB22,888 million for the second quarter of 2019 on a year-on-year basis. The increase was primarily driven by revenue growth from commercial payment and cloud services, partly offset by the absence of interest income after transferring custodian cash balances to the People's Bank of China.

Revenues from Online Advertising increased by 16% to RMB16,409 million for the second quarter of 2019 on a year-on-year basis. Social and others advertising revenues increased by 28% to RMB12,009 million, mainly benefiting from greater advertising revenue contributions from Weixin Moments and QQ KanDian. Media advertising revenues decreased by 7% to RMB4,400 million, primarily reflecting lower contributions from our media platforms due to the absence of the FIFA World Cup tournament.

          subscriptions

Communication and Social

During the second quarter of 2019, combined MAU of Weixin and WeChat was 1,133 million, up 7% year-on-year. Smart device MAU of QQ was 707 million, broadly stable year-on-year.

Weixin Mini Programs ecosystem has become more vibrant, attracting more developers and service providers. The number of medium-to-long-tail Mini Programs has more than doubled year-on-year while the nature of Mini Programs has become more diversified. For example, content Mini Programs allow users to conveniently create, upload and share interesting videos, music and news within Weixin. More than a dozen content Mini Programs have attained over 1 million DAU. Key user metrics including time spent per user, daily messages and video uploads sustained solid year-on-year growth during the second quarter.

We launched a major version upgrade for Mobile QQ, which contributed to an increase in the number of daily messages and strengthened user engagement. To enrich the core chat experience, we enhanced functionalities for messages in different forms such as voice and video. To broaden user connections, we upgraded algorithms to recommend new friends based on common interests and shared contacts. We introduced QQ Mini Programs, with entertainment and games-related Mini Programs attaining particular popularity among QQ users.

Online Games

Total online games revenues increased 8% year-on-year to RMB27.3 billion.

Smart phone games revenues (including smart phone games revenues attributable to our social networks business) amounted to RMB22.2 billion, up 26% year-on-year due to the popularity of existing key titles and recent releases. Sequentially, smart phone games revenues were up 5% quarter-on-quarter as we launched more games following monetisation licence approval resumption, offsetting weak seasonality. During the quarter, we released 10 games including an in-house AR game, Catchya, and in-house RPGs, Fairy Tail and Raziel, compared with only one game in the first quarter. Honour of Kings revenue increased year-on-year. Perfect World Mobile, a licensed RPG that we launched in March, contributed substantially to our second quarter revenue. Our in-house tactical tournament game, Peacekeeper Elite, has exceeded 50 million DAU since its launch in May and begun monetisation with a successful season pass offering, although reported revenue was limited in the second quarter due to the deferral impact.

We are in the early stages of implementing season passes for several of our key titles, contributing to paying propensity within those games. Our data suggest that season pass spending is largely complementary to the existing item sales model, and also enhances player activity. In July, we released three smart phone games in different game genres, including racing game KartRider Rush, strategy game Game of Thrones: Winter is Coming, and RPG Dragon Raja. All three have achieved top 10 positions in the iOS Grossing Chart for games in China. Internationally, we expanded our user base via our hit title PUBG MOBILE (which has exceeded 50 million DAU) and new games such as Speed Drifter (the international version of QQ Speed) and Chess Rush.

Our PC client games revenues were RMB11.7 billion, down 9% year-on-year, despite increased cash receipts, and down 15% quarter-on-quarter due to weak seasonality. League of Legends cash receipts increased year-on-year driven by popular eSports-themed skins. In June, League of Legends introduced a new play mode, Teamfight Tactics, contributing to growth in its DAU and user time spent. Teamfight Tactics is the global leader in the emerging auto-chess category. DnF has reduced monetisation as we focus on enhancing its user experience.

Digital Content

Our fee-based VAS subscriptions increased 10% year-on-year to 168.9 million, mainly attributable to video and music subscriptions. Tencent Video subscription counts were 96.9 million, up 30% year-on-year, benefitting from joint membership promotions with our strategic partners and our popular self-commissioned Chinese anime series, The Land of Warriors Season 2. However, the growth in our video subscriber base slowed, due to the delay in scheduling of top-tier drama series content.

During the 2018-2019 season of the NBA, 490 million Internet users in China watched one or more games on our platforms, nearly tripling the number of Internet users who watched the NBA on Tencent platforms during the 2014-2015 season. Our partnership did not only increase fans engagement, brand power and monetisation capability for the NBA, but also reinforced Tencent Sports as the top Internet destination for sports fans in China, contributing to our advertising and subscription revenues. Recently, we announced a five-year partnership extension with the NBA. We will cooperate with the NBA in developing basketball-related smart phone games and eSports events.

Online Advertising

Our online advertising revenues were RMB16.4 billion, up 16% year-on-year, amid the challenging macro environment and increased supply of short video advertising inventories across the industry. We expect the negative impact from the current business environment will persist in the second half of 2019. Sequentially, revenues grew due to seasonal advertising demand from eCommerce and online education sectors. Social and others advertising revenues were RMB12.0 billion, up 28% year-on-year, driven by increased inventories and impressions for products such as Weixin Moments and QQ KanDian.

Media advertising revenues were RMB4.4 billion, down 7% year-on-year, as unexpected delays to airing certain top-tier drama series and the absence of the FIFA World Cup this year resulted in less sponsorship advertising revenues. Mobile video DAU remained stable, contributing to notable year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter growth from in-feed advertising within our Tencent Video app. In April, we released Season 2 of Produce 101, a highly popular self-commissioned variety show, which achieved record advertising billings for a program on Tencent Video.

FinTech and Business Services

FinTech and Business Services revenues were RMB22.9 billion, up 37% year-on-year. Excluding interest income on custodian cash balances, revenues were up 57% year-on-year. Within FinTech Services, commercial payments grew rapidly in terms of users, merchants, transaction volume and revenues, driving the segment revenue growth. Our wealth management platform, LiCaiTong, grew its aggregated customer assets to over RMB800 billion as of the end of the second quarter, indicating a trend that our users are increasingly keeping their money within our payment system. This trend brings down the frictional costs for users to use Weixin Pay, reducing our withdrawal fee revenue and bank charge expenses. We believe the overall impact will contribute to the vitality of our FinTech business in the long run. We remain focused on risk management of our FinTech businesses to sustain our long-term platform growth.

Within Business Services, cloud revenues grew robustly year-on-year as we expanded our sales team and product offerings to sign up more key accounts and large contracts. Meanwhile, we have deepened our penetration in small and medium businesses through close partnerships with Independent Software Vendors and resellers. We further strengthened the cloud-based development kits for Mini Programs developers to enable more efficient development processes, operations and maintenance. In the financial sector, we attained key contracts from insurance companies, banks and brokerage firms, including PICC, Bank of Communications and Haitong Securities. In July, we launched our "WeCity" cloud-based smart industry solutions for public services such as healthcare, transportation and education in various cities, including Changsha. According to the International Data Corporation, we ranked second in the public cloud IaaS market in China, and were among the top ten globally, in 2018.
