HUYA Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results

GUANGZHOU, China, August 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HUYA Inc. (“Huya” or the “Company”) (NYSE: HUYA), a leading game-related entertainment and services provider, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

Mr. Junhong Huang, Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Huya, commented, “As we mark the two-year anniversary of Huya’s strategic transformation, we are pleased to report that we are back on a growth trajectory, with topline performance showing continued progress for the second consecutive quarter. Our efforts to expand our business from a pure-play live streaming platform to an all-rounded game-related entertainment and services provider have paid off. Our game-related services, advertising, and other revenues now stand at RMB414 million, representing 26% of total net revenues this quarter.

“By leveraging our cross-platform strategy, we have achieved an average of 162 million monthly active users across Huya’s platforms, and extended our reach even further through the distribution of our content and services on third-party channels. This figure underscores the ecosystem we have cultivated through this strategic transformation in China and overseas. Backed by our streamer network, e-sports infrastructure, AI capabilities, and operational strength, we are unlocking monetization in games—via in-game items and distribution—and growing our global user base as a key driver of future opportunities,” Mr. Huang concluded.

Mr. Raymond Peng Lei, Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Huya, added, “We are pleased to see live streaming revenues beginning to stabilize, with total net revenues returning to a growth trajectory for the second consecutive quarter. Our operating performance also continued to improve, driven by cost structure optimizations and enhanced operational efficiency. As of the end of June 2025, we had repurchased approximately US$75.4 million of Huya ADSs and distributed a special dividend totaling around US$340 million during the quarter. Looking ahead, we remain focused on advancing our strategic expansion initiatives, strengthening industry partnerships, and delivering sustainable long-term value to our shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total net revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were RMB1,567.1 million (US$218.8 million), compared with RMB1,541.6 million for the same period of 2024.

Live streaming revenues were RMB1,153.2 million (US$161.0 million) for the second quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1,233.1 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to the continued impact of the macroeconomic and industry environment.

Game-related services, advertising and other revenues were RMB413.9 million (US$57.8 million) for the second quarter of 2025, compared with RMB308.5 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues from game-related services and advertising, which were mainly attributable to the Company’s deepened cooperation with Tencent and other game companies.

Cost of revenues increased by 2.1% to RMB1,354.8 million (US$189.1 million) for the second quarter of 2025 from RMB1,326.7 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to increased revenue sharing fees and content costs, partially offset by decreased bandwidth and server custody fees. Revenue sharing fees and content costs, a key component of cost of revenues, increased by 2.6% to RMB1,201.0 million (US$167.7 million) for the second quarter of 2025 from RMB1,170.2 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to increased broadcaster-related costs, partially offset by lower costs related to licensed e-sports content.

Gross profit was RMB212.3 million (US$29.6 million) for the second quarter of 2025, compared with RMB214.9 million for the same period of 2024. Gross margin was 13.5% for the second quarter of 2025, compared with 13.9% for the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to increased revenue sharing fees and content costs as a percentage of total net revenues.

Research and development expenses decreased by 5.1% to RMB122.2 million (US$17.1 million) for the second quarter of 2025 from RMB128.7 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to decreased personnel-related expenses and share-based compensation expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 6.5% to RMB57.7 million (US$8.1 million) for the second quarter of 2025 from RMB61.7 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to decreased channel promotion fees.

General and administrative expenses remained flat year-over-year at RMB63.7 million (US$8.9 million) for the second quarter of 2025.

Other income was RMB7.6 million (US$1.1 million) for the second quarter of 2025, compared with RMB13.2 million for the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to a notable settlement income from disputes in the second quarter of 2024 and lower government subsidies.

Operating loss was RMB23.7 million (US$3.3 million) for the second quarter of 2025, compared with RMB26.0 million for the same period of 2024.

Non-GAAP operating income was RMB0.4 million (US$0.1 million) for the second quarter of 2025, compared with non-GAAP operating loss of RMB2.7 million for the same period of 2024.

Interest income was RMB59.1 million (US$8.2 million) for the second quarter of 2025, compared with RMB102.5 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to a lower time deposit balance, which was mainly attributable to the special cash dividends paid.

Net loss attributable to HUYA Inc. was RMB5.5 million (US$0.8 million) for the second quarter of 2025, compared with net income attributable to HUYA Inc. of RMB29.6 million for the same period of 2024.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc. was RMB47.5million (US$6.6 million) for the second quarter of 2025, compared with RMB97.0 million for the same period of 2024.

Basic and diluted net loss per American depositary share (“ADS”) were each RMB0.02 (US$0.00) for the second quarter of 2025. Basic and diluted net income per ADS were each RMB0.13 for the second quarter of 2024. Each ADS represents one Class A ordinary share of the Company.

Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS were each RMB0.21 (US$0.03) for the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS were RMB0.42 and RMB0.41, respectively, for the second quarter of 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and long-term deposits of RMB3,766.4 million (US$525.8 million), compared with RMB6,254.6 million as of March 31, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), except that the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, consolidated statements of cash flows, and the detailed notes have not been presented. Huya uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc., non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ordinary share, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation expenses allocated in cost of revenues. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is operating loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. Non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc. is net income (loss) attributable to HUYA Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment loss of investments, and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders is net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment loss of investments, and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ordinary share and per ADS is non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and ADS used in the calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ordinary share and per ADS. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the impact of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment loss of investments, and (iii) amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions (net of income taxes), add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. 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 represent useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of (i) share-based compensation expenses, and (ii) amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions (net of income taxes), which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business, and (iii) impairment loss of investments, which may recur when there is observable price change in the future. 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 (loss) 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 a non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “HUYA Inc. Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this announcement.
