Our average MAUs reached 116.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, up 34.5% year-over-year and 17.8% quarter-over-quarter, driven by our rich content and differentiated user experience that enticed new users to our platform and led to more engagement of existing users. As a result of robust user growth and enhanced monetization capability, our revenue grew by 103.1% year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2018. In combination with more efficient execution, we were able to generate solid profitability and strong cash flow in the quarter.

"Our strategic focus on e-sports continues to deliver encouraging results. In 2018, our platform generated more than 1.6 billion viewership from over 400 e-sports events broadcasted. We will continue to enrich our content ecosystem, providing more services and opportunities to our broadcasters and partners. In addition to our vigorous domestic growth, we have successfully leveraged our unique business model to enter new overseas markets. We believe we are delivering long-term value through strategic investments in overseas markets in 2019 and beyond," concluded Mr. Dong.

Mr. Henry Sha, Chief Financial Officer of Huya, commented, "We are pleased to report impressive revenue growth in the quarter which exceeded the high end of our guidance range. The organic growth in both average MAUs and total number of paying users indicates our high-quality content received a broad appreciation and continued to drive user engagement. Our paying users expanded to 4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, up 73.1% compared to the same period last year. We further benefit from our fast-growing domestic business and our continuous efforts in improving efficiency to generate margin expansion. Our fourth quarter non-GAAP gross margin increased by 60 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 16.1%, and non-GAAP net margin increased by 160 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 11.1%. As such, we delivered non-GAAP net income for the fifth consecutive quarter, reaching a record high of RMB166.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. We are confident we are well-positioned to further expand our user base and maintain healthy growth, while driving our financial performance well into the future."

Fourth Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Total net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased by 103.1% to RMB1,504.9 million (US$218.9 million), from RMB741.0 million in the same period of 2017.

Live streaming revenues increased by 108.1% to RMB1,441.8 million (US$209.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018, from RMB692.7 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to the increases in both the number of paying users on Huya's platform and spending per paying user. The increase in the number of paying users was primarily driven by the Company's mobile strategy, diversification of content offerings and continued efforts in converting active users into paying users.

Advertising and other revenues increased by 30.7% to RMB63.1 million (US$9.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018, from RMB48.3 million in the same period of 2017.

Cost of revenues increased by 100.1% to RMB1,266.3 million (US$184.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018 from RMB632.9 million in the same period of 2017, primarily attributable to the increase in revenue sharing fees and content costs, as well as bandwidth costs.

Bandwidth costs increased by 42.1% to RMB161.6 million (US$23.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018 from RMB113.8 million in same period of 2017, primarily due to an increase in bandwidth usage as a result of increased user base on Huya's platform and enhanced live streaming video quality improvement, partially offset by improved efficiency in bandwidth utilization as a result of the deployment of new technologies in content distribution.

Gross profit increased by 120.7% to RMB238.6 million (US$34.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2018 from RMB108.1 million in the same period of 2017. Gross margin increased to 15.9% in the fourth quarter of 2018 from 14.6% in the same period of 2017, primarily due to Huya's enhanced monetization efforts, technology innovation on bandwidth utilization and continued leverage on economies of scale.

Research and development expenses increased by 80.9% to RMB79.1 million (US$11.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2018 from RMB43.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, mainly attributable to the increase in the salaries and welfare of research and development personnel and share-based compensation expenses related to the share awards newly granted in 2018.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 102.4% to RMB59.9 million (US$8.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2018 from RMB29.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, mainly attributable to the increase of marketing and promotion expenses due to enhanced efforts in promoting Huya's brand awareness and e-sports content, as well as cooperating with various marketing channels in both domestic and overseas markets.

General and administrative expenses increased by 152.0% to RMB92.3 million (US$13.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2018 from RMB36.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, mainly due to the increase in share-based compensation expenses related to the share awards newly granted in the first quarter of 2018, professional fees and salaries and welfare of management personnel.

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a fair value loss of RMB2,273.4 million on derivative liabilities of preferred shares that existed before the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") in May 2018, resulting from the increase in HUYA Inc.'s enterprise value as indicated by the price of its IPO. Such fair value loss on derivative liabilities is related to the accounting treatment of the conversion features, which needed to be bifurcated and accounted for as derivative liabilities in the second quarter of 2018. Upon the completion of the IPO, the derivative liabilities were derecognized, and all of the balances were reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc. in the fiscal year 2018, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, fair value loss on derivative liabilities and gain on fair value change of investments and equity investee's investments, was RMB460.9 million (US$67.0 million), compared with a non-GAAP net loss attributable to HUYA Inc. of RMB40.9 million in the prior fiscal year.

Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB717.5 million (US$104.4 million) for the fiscal year 2018, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of RMB242.4 million in the fiscal year 2017.

Business Outlook

For the first quarter of 2019, Huya currently expects total net revenues to be in the range of RMB1,510 million to RMB1,550 million, representing a year-over-year growth of between 79.0% and 83.7%. This forecast reflects our current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change.

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 (deficit), consolidated statements of cash flows, and the detailed notes have not been presented. Huya uses non-GAAP operating (loss) income, non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to HUYA Inc., non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net (loss) income per ADS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP operating (loss) income is operating (loss) income excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to HUYA Inc. is net (loss) income attributable to HUYA Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses, fair value loss on derivative liabilities and gain on fair value change of investments and equity investee's investments. Non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders is net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, fair value loss on derivative liabilities, gain (loss) on fair value change of investments and equity investee's investments and deemed dividend to Series A redeemable convertible preferred shareholders. 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 ordinary shares 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 non-cash impact of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) fair value loss on derivative liabilities, (iii) gain on fair value change of investments and equity investee's investments and (iv) deemed dividend to Series A redeemable convertible preferred shareholders adds 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 measure for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the non-cash effect of (i) share-based compensation expenses, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business, (ii) fair value loss on derivative liabilities and deemed dividend to Series A redeemable convertible preferred shareholders, which may not recur in the future, and (iii) (loss) gain on fair value change of investments and equity investee's investments, 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 (loss) 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 non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure 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. Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" near the end of this release.
