      2024. 
 
   -- Average MAUs[2] for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 160.0 million. 

Fiscal Year 2025 Highlights

   -- Total net revenues increased by 7.0% to RMB6,502.4 million (US$929.8 
      million) for fiscal year 2025, from RMB6,079.1 million for 2024. 
 
   -- Game-related services, advertising and other revenues increased by 43.1%

      RMB1,333.9 million for 2024. 
 
   -- Net loss attributable to HUYA Inc. was RMB112.6 million (US$16.1 million)

      (US$14.2 million) for fiscal year 2025, compared with RMB268.8 million 
      for 2024. 

Mr. Junhong Huang, Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Huya, commented, "In 2025, we made meaningful progress in our evolution into a comprehensive game-related services provider. Our total net revenues for 2025 rebounded to RMB6.5 billion, up 7.0% year-over-year. Notably, our fourth quarter total net revenues reached RMB1.74 billion, with year-over-year growth accelerating to 16.2%. This performance was primarily driven by our business diversification efforts, as game-related services, advertising, and other revenues surged 59.4% year-over-year and accounted for over 30% of total net revenues, which is now the second quarter since we first hit this milestone."

"Building on this momentum, our expansion into game publishing achieved a key breakthrough with the launch of Goose Goose Duck mobile in the Chinese mainland in January 2026. Since its debut, the title has demonstrated exceptional market appeal, ranking No. 1 on the local Apple App Store free games chart for most of the past two months. More importantly, this success powerfully validates our content-driven publishing strategy and lays the groundwork for us to further deepen our presence across the gaming ecosystem," Mr. Huang concluded.

Mr. Raymond Peng Lei, Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Huya, added, "Our fourth quarter results included a one-off accounting provision, which had a significant impact on our reported operating results and led to an operating loss for the quarter. Excluding the impact of this item, this quarter's results reflected continued improvement in our core operating performance."

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total net revenues increased by 16.2% to RMB1,738.5 million (US$248.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, from RMB1,495.8 million for the same period of 2024.

Live streaming revenues increased by 1.9% to RMB1,146.0 million (US$163.9 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, from RMB1,124.2 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to higher average spending per paying user for live streaming services.

Game-related services, advertising and other revenues increased by 59.4% to RMB592.5 million (US$84.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, from RMB371.6 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues from game-related services and advertising, which were mainly attributable to the Company's deepened cooperation with game companies.

Cost of revenues increased by 12.7% to RMB1,493.8 million (US$213.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, from RMB1,325.4 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to increased revenue sharing fees and content costs, as well as increased costs of in-game items, partially offset by decreased bandwidth and server custody fees. Revenue sharing fees and content costs, a key component of cost of revenues, increased by 10.4% year-over-year to RMB1,277.2 million (US$182.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to increased revenues.

Gross profit increased by 43.6% to RMB244.7 million (US$35.0 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, from RMB170.5 million for the same period of 2024. Gross margin was 14.1% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with 11.4% for the same period of 2024.

General and administrative expenses increased by 55.4% to RMB126.0 million (US$18.0 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, from RMB81.1 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to a RMB66.0 million (US$9.4 million) provision related to a receivable arising from a 2021 arrangement with a broadcaster, which was deemed to have a heightened risk of non-recoverability.

Other income was RMB17.5 million (US$2.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB4.0 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to increased government subsidies.

Impairment loss of investments was RMB81.5 million (US$11.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with RMB151.1 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to the recognition of impairment charges on the Company's investments, attributable to the weak financial performance of certain investees.

Live streaming revenues decreased by 3.2% to RMB4,594.0 million (US$656.9 million) for fiscal year 2025, from RMB4,745.2 million for 2024, primarily due to the continued impact of the macroeconomic and industry environment, partially offset by improved monetization efficiency, as reflected in higher average spending per paying user for live streaming services in the second half of 2025.

Game-related services, advertising and other revenues increased by 43.1% to RMB1,908.4 million (US$272.9 million) for fiscal year 2025, from RMB1,333.9 million for 2024.

Research and development expenses decreased by 3.1% to RMB496.7 million (US$71.0 million) for fiscal year 2025, from RMB512.6 million for 2024, primarily due to decreased staff costs as a result of enhanced efficiency.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 2.7% to RMB266.6 million (US$38.1 million) for fiscal year 2025, from RMB274.0 million for 2024, primarily due to decreased channel promotion fees.

General and administrative expenses increased by 21.2% to RMB308.9 million (US$44.2 million) for fiscal year 2025, from RMB254.8 million for 2024, primarily due to a RMB66.0 million (US$9.4 million) provision related to a receivable arising from a 2021 arrangement with a broadcaster, which was deemed to have a heightened risk of non-recoverability.

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) income, non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to HUYA Inc., non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net (loss) 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 (loss) income is operating loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. Non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to HUYA Inc. is net (loss) income attributable to HUYA Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses, gain arising from disposal of an equity investment, net of income taxes, impairment loss of investments, and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable. Non-GAAP net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders is net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, gain arising from disposal of an equity investment, net of income taxes, 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 (loss) income per ordinary share and per ADS is non-GAAP net (loss) 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 (loss) 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) gain arising from disposal of an equity investment, net of income taxes, (iii) impairment loss of investments, and (iv) 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) gain arising from disposal of an equity investment, net of income taxes, and (iv) 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 (loss) income 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.
