"Our performance during the quarter far exceeded our expectations as our business bounced back strongly to regain its growth momentum," commented Mr. Karl Zhang, CooTek's Co-Founder and Chairman. "Our ability to derive sophisticated user insights and drive growth remains one of our key core competencies. Our in-house advertisement network grew rapidly during the quarter and beyond. During the first week of March 2020, we generated approximately 60% of our revenue from our ads network. Average revenue per user ("ARPU") rose as we reduced our dependency on third-party ad partners. Total DAUs of our content-rich portfolio of apps also regained growth momentum, which makes us optimistic about our future growth potential. Our focus remains on empowering everyone to enjoy relevant content seamlessly and we will continue developing and growing our portfolio of content-rich apps to meet the evolving needs of users."


                        [1] "Adjusted net income (loss)" (Non-
                         GAAP) is a non-GAAP measure, which is
                         defined as net income (loss) excluding
                         share-based compensation. For further
                         information, please see "Non-GAAP
                         Financial Measures" and
                         "Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP
                         results" at the bottom of this
                         release.


                        [2] "portfolio products" is to the
                         mobile applications that we develop
                         and provide to our users and business

                         Input and TouchPal Phonebook.


                        [3] User engagement is calculated by
                         dividing DAUs by MAUs of certain
                         products for a certain period.

                         partners, which excludes TouchPal
                         Phonebook. TouchPal Phonebook targets

Cost of revenues was US$3.9 million, an 11% increase from US$3.5 million during the same period last year, and a 1% decrease from US$3.9 million last quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to an increase in operational and maintenance-related expenses associated with the Company's expanding business. The slight sequential decrease was primarily due to a decline in VoIP-related expenses, and was partially offset by an increase in internet data center usage and cloud service expenses.

Gross profit was US$65.1 million, a 49% increase from US$43.6 million during the same period last year, and an increase of 138% from US$27.4 million last quarter. Gross profit margin was 94.4%, compared with 92.6% in the same period last year and 87.5% last quarter.

Sales and marketing expenses were US$63.5 million, an increase of 99% from US$31.8 million during the same period last year, and an increase of 90% from US$33.5 million last quarter. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expenses accounted for 92%, compared with 68% during the same period last year, and 107% last quarter.

Research and development expenses were US$5.7 million, a decrease of 2% from US$5.8 million during the same period last year and a decrease of 17% from US$6.9 million last quarter. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a decline in costs associated with technology R&D staff and share-based compensation expenses.

General and administrative expenses were US$2.8 million, a decrease of 24% from US$3.6 million during the same period last year and a decrease of 19% from US$3.4 million last quarter.

Adjusted net loss was US$6.2 million, compared with adjusted net income of US$4.6 million in the same period last year and adjusted net loss of US$15.4 million last quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company uses non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net (loss) income that is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the impact of share-based compensation, and Adjusted EBITDA that is net (loss) income excluding interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation, and share-based compensation. The measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.

The Company believes that the non-GAAP measure help identify underlying financial and business trends relating to the Company's results of operations that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that the Company include in (loss) income from operations and net (loss) income. By making the Company's financial results comparable period over period, the Company believes adjusted net (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to better understand the Company's historical business operations and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management in financial and operational decision-making. In order to mitigate these limitations, the Company has provided specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from the non-GAAP measure. The table at the bottom of this press release includes details on the reconciliation between GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measure the Company has presented.
