Earnings Call Summary

Q1 2026

Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presents a largely positive picture: robust user engagement and monetization improvements (notably 30% ad growth, 19% total user time spent increase, and 62% adjusted net profit growth) alongside continued margin expansion and a healthy cash position. Near-term challenges include a 12% YoY decline in games revenue, modest VAS growth, and stepped-up AI-related spending (Q1 CapEx +80% YoY and ~RMB 1 billion expected incremental full‑year CapEx). Management expects AI investments to drive long-term efficiency and monetization gains while maintaining margin targets (mid-term gross margin 45% and operating margin 15–20%). Overall, highlights materially outweigh the lowlights.
Company Guidance
Management guided that Q2 advertising revenue should “maintain rapid growth” as AI-driven efficiency gains continue to feed monetization, with automated ad spending penetration already ~85% and CTCVR for performance ads +25% YoY; ad channels such as PC/OTT grew >50% YoY while search and mini‑program scenarios more than doubled, AI advertiser budgets surged >170% YoY and home‑decoration ad spending was up >130% YoY. They expect gross margin to continue improving and net‑profit margin to have “further room to increase,” while reaffirming mid‑to‑long‑term targets of ~45% gross margin and a 15–20% operating profit ratio. On AI investment, Q1 CapEx rose ~80% YoY to ~RMB200m, and full‑year AI‑related CapEx is expected to rise by ~RMB1.0bn with an estimated P&L impact of ~RMB500m; management said some OpEx will be curtailed to offset this. For context, Q1 results included total revenue RMB7.5bn (+7% YoY), ad revenue RMB2.6bn (+30% YoY), adjusted operating profit RMB524m (7.0% margin) and adjusted net profit RMB585m (7.8% margin), and the company ended Q1 with RMB24.2bn cash and completed a share repurchase of 9.9m shares (USD60.3m repurchased in Q1).
User Growth and Engagement
Daily active users (DAUs) rose 8% YoY to 115 million; monthly active users (MAUs) reached 376 million. Average daily time spent hit a new high of 119 minutes (up 11 minutes YoY), driving total user time spent up 19% YoY.
Strong Advertising Momentum
Advertising revenue grew 30% YoY to RMB 2.6 billion, marking the 13th consecutive quarter of double-digit ad growth. Ad revenues from PC and OTT rose over 50% YoY; search and mini programs more than doubled. Performance ad conversion (CTCVR) improved ~25% YoY and automated ad penetration reached ~85%.
Revenue and Profitability Improvement
Total revenue increased 7% YoY to RMB 7.5 billion. Gross profit grew 9% YoY to RMB 2.8 billion and gross margin expanded to 37.1% (from 36.3%), the 15th consecutive quarter of margin expansion. Operating profit was RMB 167 million (over 10x YoY); adjusted operating profit RMB 524 million (7.0% margin). Adjusted net profit was RMB 585 million, up 62% YoY, with adjusted net profit margin of 7.8% (vs. 5.2% prior).
Creator and Content Ecosystem Strength
Daily active creators rose 6% YoY and daily submissions increased 19% YoY. Creators with >1,000 followers grew >30% YoY; creators with 10k/100k/1M+ followers grew >20% YoY. Average income per creator rose 24% YoY. Official members totaled 291 million with an ~80% 12-month retention rate.
VAS and Fan Monetization Growth
Value-added services (VAS) revenue was RMB 2.9 billion, up 4% YoY. Premium members reached 24.8 million (up 5% YoY), ~80% on annual/auto-renew plans. Fan charging revenue increased over 50% YoY, indicating stronger direct support for creators.
Content Category Expansion
Category watch-time gains: games and Chinese anime categories up 27% and 20% YoY respectively; knowledge-based content (including AI topics) up 20% YoY; music up 25% YoY; parenting/early education and outdoor categories surged >50% YoY.
Healthy Balance Sheet and Share Buyback
Cash, cash equivalents, time deposits and short-term investments totaled RMB 24.2 billion (USD 3.5 billion) as of March 31, 2026. Completed USD 200 million repurchase program (9.9 million shares repurchased); Q1 repurchases were 2.5 million shares for USD 60.3 million. Board is considering renewal.
Product & Pipeline Progress (Games and IP)
Pipeline progress: NCard (Three Kingdom casual card game) soft-launched with positive feedback and targeted official launch in July; new SLG San Guo testing positive and planned rollout later in the year; Lumi Master entered paid/global testing in May with a targeted global launch in Q4. Escape from Tarkov-like title (Escape from Duckov) sold over 4 million copies, supporting IP expansion.
