GUANGZHOU, China, August 11, 2026 /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, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

Mr. Junhong Huang, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Huya, commented, “Huya’s strategic transformation gained further traction in the second quarter of 2026. Total net revenues reached RMB1.74 billion, up 11.0% year-over-year, while game-related services, advertising, and other revenues increased 54.1% year-over-year to RMB637.9 million and represented 36.7% of total net revenues.”

“Goose Goose Duck mobile re-entered the Top 5 on the Apple App Store free games chart in the Chinese mainland at the end of July, further validating Huya’s content-led game publishing model. Game publishing remains a strategic priority for Huya and our pipeline is robust, with The Legend of Swordman: Reunion and Xiao Xiao Qi Yu both progressing toward launch. Goose Goose Duck mobile’s strong performance demonstrates how Huya’s content ecosystem and integrated marketing capabilities can drive user acquisition, engagement and monetization, reinforcing our confidence in the long-term potential of this business,” Mr. Huang concluded.

Mr. Raymond Peng Lei, Chief Financial Officer of Huya, added, “We continue to see financial improvement at the operating level, supported by ongoing growth in game-related services, advertising and other revenues. We are pleased to announce that our board of directors has approved an increase in the total authorized amount of our 2026 Share Repurchase Program from US$50 million to US$100 million, reflecting our confidence in Huya’s business outlook and our commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value.”

General and administrative expenses decreased by 8.4% to RMB58.4 million (US$8.6 million) for the second quarter of 2026, from RMB63.7 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to decreased professional service fees.

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 loss, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HUYA Inc., non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) 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 loss is operating loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. Non-GAAP net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) per ordinary share and per ADS is non-GAAP net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business, and (iii) impairment loss of investments. 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.
