Third Quarter 2024 Consolidated Financial Results

Total revenues grew by 16.6% year over year to RMB192.1 million (US$27.4 million) in the third quarter of 2024.

    --  Revenues from internet business increased by 25.8% year over year to
        RMB134.3 million (US$19.1 million) in the third quarter of 2024, as our
        legacy business remained resilient.
    --  Revenues from AI and others remained relatively flat year over year to
        RMB57.8 million (US$8.2 million) in the third quarter of 2024. This
        stability was achieved despite an approximately 68% year-over-year
        decline in revenue from the overseas advertising agency business, which
        was offset by an increase in revenue from sale of service robots
        following the acquisition of Beijing OrionStar in November 2023.

Cost of revenues increased by 22.6% year over year to RMB61.7 million (US$8.8 million) in the third quarter of 2024. The increases were primarily attributable to the increase in the hardware-related costs for the Company's service robots. Non-GAAP cost of revenues increased by 22.6% year over year to RMB61.6 million (US$8.8 million) in the third quarter of 2024.

Gross profit increased by 13.9% year over year to RMB130.4 million (US$18.6 million) in the third quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP gross profit increased by 13.9% year over year to RMB130.5 million (US$18.6 million) in the third quarter of 2024.

    --  Research and development expenses increased by 44.8% year over year to
        RMB66.3 million (US$9.4 million) in the third quarter of 2024, primarily
        due to: 1) increased amortization of intangible assets resulting from
        the acquisition of a controlling stake in Beijing OrionStar; and 2)
        higher R&D personnel-related expenses following the acquisition of
        Beijing OrionStar. Non-GAAP research and development expenses increased
        by 31.2% year over year to RMB59.9 million (US$8.5 million) in the third
        quarter of 2024.

        RMB89.0 million (US$12.7 million) in the third quarter of 2024,
        primarily due to: 1) increased marketing and promotion expenses related
        to our user acquisition for certain products of our internet business;
        and 2) increased personnel-related expenses following the acquisition of
        in Beijing OrionStar. Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses increased
        by 61.9% year over year to RMB88.8 million (US$12.7 million) in the
        third quarter of 2024.
    --  General and administrative expenses decreased by 14.8% year over year to
        RMB47.3 million (US$6.7 million) in the third quarter of 2024, primarily
        due to: 1) reduced stock-based compensation expenses, 2) reduced
        professional and legal service fees, 3) a reduction in the provision for
        credit losses. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses decreased by
        11.2% year over year to RMB42.5 million (US$6.1 million) in the third
        quarter of 2024.

Operating loss narrowed to RMB72.0 million (US$10.3 million) in the third quarter of 2024, improving from RMB77.5 in the previous quarter. However, the number was RMB41.0 million in the same period of last year.

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 measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. 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 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 similarly 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. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results".
