Diluted net income per American Depositary Share (“ADS”) was RMB1.96 (US$0.29) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to RMB1.42 in the same period of 2022. Non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS (note 1) was RMB2.36 (US$0.34) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to RMB1.94 in the same period of 2022. Monthly Active Users (“MAU”) on Momo application were 106.5 million in March 2023, compared to 110.9 million in March 2022. MAU on Tantan application were 19.5 million in March 2023, compared to 25.6 million in March 2022. For the Momo app total paying users was 7.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 8.6 million for the same period last year.

“We delivered solid results in the first quarter, laying a good foundation for our business development in the post-pandemic era.” Commented Yan Tang, Chairman and CEO of Hello Group. “I am happy to see that our team has been executing well against our strategic priorities across all business lines. Tantan delivered its first quarterly profit at the operating level, and the Momo cash cow business maintained its productivity thanks to our solid cost control, both of which contributed to the improvement of the Group’s profitability.”

First Quarter of 2023 Financial Results

Net revenues

Total net revenues were RMB2,818.9 million (US$410.5 million) in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 10.5% from RMB3,148.1 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Live video service revenues were RMB1,429.3 million (US$208.1 million) in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 11.2% from RMB1,608.7 million during the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to pressure on Momo application caused by COVID related factors and products adjustments to meet regulatory changes in the second quarter of 2022.

Value-added service revenues mainly include virtual gift revenues and membership subscription revenues. Total value-added service revenues were RMB1,361.5 million (US$198.2 million) in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 8.2% from RMB1,483.4 million during the same period of 2022. The year over year decrease was primarily due to the negative impact of pandemic on traffic and users’ propensity to pay, as well as channel investments reduction of Tantan. The decrease was partially offset by the rapid revenue growth from the new standalone apps.

Mobile marketing revenues were RMB21.1 million (US$3.1 million) in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 24.4% from RMB27.9 million during the same period of 2022. The decrease in mobile marketing revenues was due to the decreased demand from brand marketers.

Mobile games revenues were RMB3.7 million (US$0.5 million) in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 85.5% from RMB25.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in mobile game revenues was mainly due to the Company’s strategic decision to pivot away from game distribution business.

Net revenues from the Momo segment decreased from RMB2,798.9 million in the first quarter of 2022 to RMB2,510.1 million (US$365.5 million) in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to the decrease in net revenues from live video service and value-added service on Momo application, partially offset by the growth of value-added service business from the new standalone apps. Net revenues from the Tantan segment decreased from RMB349.0 million in the first quarter of 2022 to RMB308.6 million (US$44.9 million) in the first quarter of 2023, due to the negative impact of COVID and the reduction in channel investments.

Cost and expenses

Cost and expenses were RMB2,419.1 million (US$352.2 million) in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 14.2% from RMB2,820.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to: (a) a decrease in sales and marketing expenses due to our initiatives to control cost and optimize Tantan’s channel marketing strategy; (b) a decrease in revenue sharing with broadcasters related to Momo’s core live video service and with virtual gift recipients for virtual gift service on the Momo application, which was partially offset by an increase in revenue sharing with virtual gift recipients for new standalone apps; (c) a decrease in salary expenses and share-based compensation expenses, due to our continuous optimization in personnel costs and the decreased fair value of newly granted share options.

Non-GAAP cost and expenses (note 1) were RMB2,337.4 million (US$340.4 million) in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 13.8% from RMB2,711.4 million during the same period of 2022.

Income from operations

Income from operations was RMB436.2 million (US$63.5 million) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to RMB352.0 million during the same period of 2022. Income from operations of the Momo segment was RMB435.0 million (US$63.3 million) in the first quarter of 2023, which decreased from RMB519.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. Income from operations of the Tantan segment was RMB5.2 million (US$0.8 million) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to loss from operations of RMB161.8 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP income from operations (note 1) was RMB517.8 million (US$75.4 million) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to RMB460.6 million during the same period of 2022. Non-GAAP income from operations of the Momo segment was RMB507.5 million (US$73.9 million) in the first quarter of 2023, which decreased from RMB624.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP income from operations of the Tantan segment was RMB14.5 million (US$2.1 million) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to non-GAAP loss from operations of RMB157.9 million in the first quarter of 2022.  

Income tax expenses

Income tax expenses were RMB122.6 million (US$17.9 million) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to RMB150.8 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the lower profit in the first quarter of 2023 from Momo segment.

Note 1: Non-GAAP measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we, Hello Group, use various non-GAAP financial measures that are adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation.

Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are shown in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details about the non-GAAP financial measures.

Our non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information to help investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of our continuing operations and our prospects for the future. Our non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to the GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

Our non-GAAP information (including non-GAAP cost and operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss), net income attributable to Hello Group Inc., and diluted net income per ADS) is adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that share-based compensation has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future significant recurring expenses in our results of operations. We compensate for such limitation by providing reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to our U.S. GAAP measures. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this earnings release.
