"2023 was a pivotal year for Yalla. Amid the dynamic global landscape, we forged ahead with our effective strategy for high-quality growth and capped the year with strong fourth quarter financial and operational results," said Mr. Yang Tao, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Yalla. "Our revenues increased by 7.7% year-over-year to US$80.9 million for the fourth quarter, exceeding the upper end of our guidance, primarily driven by robust revenue growth from games services of 35.2% year-over-year. Furthermore, our game mechanism enhancements aimed at boosting user engagement and delivering better user experiences are bearing fruit. In the fourth quarter, our average MAUs reached 36.2 million, up 13.3% year-over-year, and paying users increased by 6.2% from last quarter to 11.9 million, indicating users' growing willingness to pay on our platform.

"Along with our constant efforts to optimize our flagship applications, we made great strides with our mid- and hard-core games in the past year. With the successful launch of our two hard-core games, we have deepened our engagement in the mid- and hard-core game business and gained vast experience across key aspects of MENA's gaming market. Furthermore, we are honored to be included in the inaugural Fortune 500 Arabia list rolled out in 2023, an award that highlights the most prominent companies in the MENA region. As MENA's rich emerging opportunities attract growing interest and investment from around the globe, we will continue leveraging our profound local insights to broaden our business horizons, fortifying our position as the most popular destination for online social networking and entertainment in MENA," Mr. Yang concluded.

Ms. Karen Hu, CFO of Yalla, commented, "We achieved robust 2023 results with full-year revenue rising to US$318.9 million, another testament to our ability to deliver growth in a rapidly evolving environment. We continued to actively optimize costs and expenses to improve our overall efficiency, greatly enhancing profitability for both the fourth quarter and the full year. Fourth quarter net income increased by 79.0% year-over-year to US$29.7 million with a net margin of 36.6%, while full-year net income increased by 43.0% year-over-year to US$113.1 million with a net margin of 35.5%. Moving forward, we will continue to pursue quality growth, improve operational efficiency, and invest in our Yalla ecosystem. We are confident that our solid business fundamentals and healthy cash position will empower us to capitalize on future opportunities, driving sustainable growth and creating value for all of our stakeholders."

Our average MAUs increased by 13.3% from 32.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 to 36.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Our solid revenue growth was also partially attributable to the significant increase in ARPPU[6], which grew from US$6.01 in the fourth quarter of 2022 to US$6.58 in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Our selling and marketing expenses were US$10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, a 27.3% decrease from US$14.3 million in the same period last year, primarily driven by our more disciplined advertising and promotion approach and lower share-based compensation expenses recognized in the fourth quarter of 2023.

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.
