Our dedication to enhancing operational efficiency continued to pay off, with net margin increasing by 1.4 percentage points year-over-year to 45.4%. We also continued to optimize our product portfolio and enhance user engagement, driving an 8.1% year-over-year increase in average MAUs to 43.4 million.

“Our thriving game pipeline served as our primary market expansion driver during the third quarter. We soft-launched our first match-3 title, Turbo Match, on Android during the quarter, and we were pleased to see its initial user acquisition and retention metrics meeting our expectations. We also expect to debut our self-developed roguelike game and an SLG game in collaboration with an industry-leading gaming studio in the coming weeks, deepening our penetration of MENA’s mid- and hard-core game market.

“Yalla Group celebrated the fifth anniversary of its IPO with a bell-ringing ceremony at NYSE in September, a proud symbol of our years of growth, learning, persistence, and achievement. Going forward, we will remain dedicated to maximizing the synergy between our social and gaming ecosystems and enhancing our AI-fueled technological edge, bringing us ever closer to our vision of becoming the most popular platform for online social networking and entertainment activities in MENA,” Mr. Yang concluded.

Ms. Karen Hu, CFO of Yalla, commented, “In the third quarter, we continued to pursue high-quality growth and profitability enhancement. Excellent execution of our ongoing cost management and efficiency improvement initiatives, including AI development and application, drove an increase in our net income to US$40.7 million. Supported by these healthy results and our robust fundamentals, we continued to return value to shareholders. As of November 7, 2025, we had returned a total of US$51.9 million to shareholders in 2025 through our share repurchase program. We will continue to deepen our commitment to shareholder returns, and look forward to completing our current US$150 million share repurchase program within the next year, delivering sustainable, long-term value to all stakeholders.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents non-GAAP financial measures, namely non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net margin and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company’s operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define non-GAAP operating income as operating income excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP net income as net income excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP net margin as non-GAAP net income as a percentage of revenues. We define non-GAAP net income attributable to Yalla Group Limited’s shareholders as net income attributable to Yalla Group Limited’s shareholders, excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP earnings per ordinary share as non-GAAP net income attributable to Yalla Group Limited’s shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding.

By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. Investors can better understand the Company’s operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess its core operating results, as they exclude share-based compensation expenses, which are not expected to result in cash payments. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation has been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of its non-GAAP financial measures in the reconciliations to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results are set forth at the end of this press release.
