Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Total net revenues in the second quarter of 2020 increased by 33.9% to RMB2,508.2 million (US$354.4 million) from RMB1,872.7 million in the same period of 2019, primarily driven by the increase in live streaming and advertising revenues.

Live streaming revenues in the second quarter of 2020 increased by 35.8% to RMB2,319.9 million (US$327.8 million) from RMB1,708.3 million in the same period of 2019. This increase was primarily due to the Company’s optimization of its platform’s interactive features and continuous refinement of its event models, both of which helped to further cultivate users’ paying habits.

Advertising and other revenues in the second quarter of 2020 increased by 14.5% to RMB188.3 million (US$26.6 million) from RMB164.4 million in the same period of 2019, primarily attributable to the Company’s improving brand awareness and the corresponding increase in demand for advertising products related to streamer promotion.

Cost of revenues in the second quarter of 2020 increased by 26.3% to RMB1,985.3 million (US$280.5 million) from RMB1,571.7 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the increase in revenue sharing fees and content costs. 

Revenue sharing fees and content costs in the second quarter of 2020 increased by 32.3% to RMB1,754.9 million (US$248.0 million) from RMB1,326.6 million in the same period of 2019. This increase was primarily explained by: 1) increases in revenue sharing fees, which were largely in line with the increases in total net revenues, 2) increases in content costs attributable to the Company’s investments in eSports-related content and market expansion initiatives in Japan, and 3) increased investment in tournament-related videos and in-house content production.

Bandwidth costs in the second quarter of 2020 increased by 9.8% to RMB168.4 million (US$23.8 million) from RMB153.3 million in the same period of 2019.

Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2020 decreased by 15.3% to RMB142.1 million (US$20.1 million) from RMB167.8 million in the same period of 2019, primarily attributable to the postponement of large-scale offline events as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related safety concerns.

Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2020 increased by 12.5% to RMB94.9 million (US$13.4 million) from RMB84.4 million in the same period of 2019, mainly due to the increased investment in technological innovations as well as higher share-based compensation to related employees.

General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2020 increased by 8.4% to RMB79.5 million (US$11.2 million) from RMB73.3 million in the same period of 2019, mainly due to higher professional service fees related to the compliance requirements of being a publicly-listed company on the NASDAQ.

Adjusted net income attributable to DouYu is calculated as net income attributable to DouYu adjusted for share-based compensation expenses, share of income (loss) in equity method investments and impairment loss of investments. Adjusted basic and diluted net income per ordinary share is non-GAAP net income 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 income (loss) 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.
