Total net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 77.8% to RMB2,062.9 million (US$294.9 million) from RMB1,160.2 million in the same period of 2018, primarily driven by the increase in live streaming and advertising revenues.

Live streaming revenues in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 84.1% to RMB1,892.5 million (US$270.5 million) from RMB1,028.1 million in the same period of 2018, primarily driven by the increase in both the number of paying users and ARPPU([3]).

Such increases were driven by the Company further strengthening user-streamer interactions and upgrading user experience on its platform through the development and implementation of several new interactive product features, which helped to boost the number of paying users and enhance the Company's monetization efficiency for different tiers of streamers.

Advertising and other revenues in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 29.0% to RMB170.4 million (US$24.4 million) from RMB132.1 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to the Company's broadening brand awareness and the corresponding increase in demand from advertisers.

Revenue sharing fees and content costs in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 60.4% to RMB1,473.7 million (US$210.7 million) from RMB919.0 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to: 1) increases in revenue sharing fees which were in line with increases in total net revenues, and 2) increases in content costs attributable to the Company's investments in eSports-related and self-produced content, partially offset by decreasing sign-up bonuses for top exclusive streamers through the Company's continuous efforts on cost optimization.

Bandwidth costs in the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased by 0.9% to RMB151.4 million (US$21.6 million) from RMB152.7 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to the increases in bandwidth usage resulting from growing user traffic and user engagement on the platform, partially offset by a lower unit purchase price and improved bandwidth utilization efficiency as a result of the Company's proactive user traffic management during peak usage times as well as technology upgrades.

Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased by 22.6% to RMB134.1 million (US$19.2 million) from RMB173.2 million in the same period of 2018, primarily attributable to decreases in IPO-related marketing costs, frequency of offline promotional activities, and branding expenses incurred in promoting the Company's brand awareness.

Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 8.4% to RMB100.2 million (US$14.3 million) from RMB92.4 million in the same period of 2018, mainly due to increases in investment expenditure for the development of new interactive product features and increases in share-based compensation expenses.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted operating income (loss) is calculated as operating income (loss) adjusted for share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted net income(loss) is calculated as net loss adjusted for share-based compensation expenses, share of loss (income) in equity method investments and impairment loss on investments. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to DouYu is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to DouYu adjusted for share-based compensation expenses, share of loss (income) in equity method investments and impairment loss of investments. Adjusted basic and diluted net income per ordinary share is non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ordinary share. The Company adjusted the non-cash impact of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) share of loss (income) in equity method investments and (iii) impairment loss of investments to understand and evaluate the Company's core operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations as analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for, or superior to, such metrics in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results" near the end of this release.
