"We delivered another solid set of results for the second
quarter of 2024, led by total revenues of US$81.2 million, exceeding the top end of our
guidance despite the impact of the Ramadan holiday," said Mr.
Yang Tao, Founder, Chairman and CEO
of Yalla. "This strong performance was supported by our success in
enhancing operational procedures, optimizing technology utilization
to improve efficiency, boosting user engagement and refining our
user acquisition strategies, which drove a 14.1% year-over-year
increase in average MAUs to 39.0 million for the second
quarter.
"We recently celebrated the 8th anniversary of Yalla, our
group's first product, which has evolved into the world's most
downloaded voice chat app,6 boasting a highly engaged
and loyal user community. On the operational front, we continued to
deepen local gamers' engagement with our products and enhanced our
brand influence through numerous exciting online and offline
events. Since the end of last year, we have hosted online and
offline Yalla Ludo tournaments across different cities in MENA with
our esteemed local and international partners, engaging with
millions of players. As the largest MENA-based online social
networking and gaming company, we remain dedicated to delivering
tailored experiences that enrich our users' lives while
contributing to the Middle East's
vibrant digital landscape," Mr. Yang concluded.
Ms. Karen Hu, CFO of Yalla,
commented, "We were pleased to sustain our year-over-year revenue
growth momentum in the second quarter as we strove for high-quality
development and user growth. Our constant efforts to enhance
operating efficiency continued to yield positive results, elevating
our net margin to 38.6% in the second quarter of 2024. Moving
forward, we will continue to execute our high-quality growth
strategy, leveraging our solid business fundamentals to capture new
business opportunities and deliver long-term, sustainable value to
all our stakeholders."
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Revenues
Our revenues were US$81.2 million in the second quarter of
2024, a 2.5% increase from US$79.2
million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was
primarily driven by our broadening user base and enhanced
monetization capability. Our average MAUs increased by 14.1% from
34.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 to 39.0 million in
the second quarter of 2024. Our solid revenue growth was also
partially attributable to the significant increase in
ARPPU,7 which grew from US$5.8 in the second quarter of 2023 to
US$6.6 in the second quarter of
2024.
In the second quarter of 2024, our revenues generated from
chatting services were US$54.9 million, and revenues from games
services were US$26.2 million.
Costs and expenses
Our total costs and expenses were US$51.6 million in the second quarter of
2024, a 6.8% decrease from US$55.3 million in the second quarter of
2023.
Our cost of revenues was US$29.0 million in the second quarter of
2024, a 2.5% increase from US$28.3
million in the same period last year, primarily due to
higher commission fees paid to third-party payment platforms as a
result of increasing revenue generated. Cost of revenues as a
percentage of our total revenues remained relatively stable at
35.7% in the second quarter of 2024.
Our selling and marketing expenses were US$8.5 million in the second quarter of
2024, a 31.4% decrease from US$12.4
million in the same period last year, primarily driven by
our more disciplined advertising and promotion approach. Selling
and marketing expenses as a percentage of our total revenues
decreased from 15.6% in the second quarter of 2023 to 10.5% in the
second quarter of 2024.
Our general and administrative expenses were US$7.6 million in the second quarter of
2024, a 5.5% decrease from US$8.0
million in the same period last year, primarily driven by
lower share-based compensation expenses recognized in the second
quarter of 2024. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of our total revenues decreased from 10.1% in the second
quarter of 2023 to 9.3% in the second quarter of 2024.
Our technology and product development expenses were
US$6.5 million in the second quarter
of 2024, a 1.6% decrease from US$6.6
million in the same period of last year, primarily driven by
lower share-based compensation expenses recognized in the second
quarter of 2024. Technology and product development expenses as a
percentage of our total revenues decreased from 8.3% in the second
quarter of 2023 to 8.0% in the second quarter of 2024.
Operating income
Operating income was US$29.6 million in the second quarter of
2024, a 23.8% increase from US$23.9
million in the second quarter of 2023.
Non-GAAP operating
income8
Non-GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2024 was
US$33.5 million, a 13.9%
increase from US$29.4 million in the
same period last year.
Interest income
Interest income was US$7.1 million in the second quarter of
2024, compared with US$4.6 million in the second quarter of
2023, primarily due to an increase in interest rates applicable to
the Company's bank deposits.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was US$5.79 million in the second quarter of
2024, compared with US$0.82 million
in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to
the introduction and implementation of the UAE Corporate Tax Law,
which is effective for the financial years starting on or after
June 1, 2023.
Net income
As a result of the foregoing, our net income was US$31.4 million in the second quarter of
2024, a 10.9% increase from US$28.3
million in the second quarter of 2023.
Non-GAAP net income
Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2024 was
US$35.2 million, a 4.4% increase
from US$33.8 million in the same
period last year.
Earnings per ordinary share
Basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share were US$0.20 and US$0.17, respectively, in the second quarter of
2024, while basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share were
US$0.19 and US$0.16, respectively, in the same period of
2023.

and short-term investments
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash
and cash equivalents, restricted cash, term deposits and short-term
investments of US$528.7 million,
compared with US$535.7 million
as of December 31, 2023.
Share Repurchase Program
Pursuant to the Company's share repurchase program beginning on
May 21, 2021 with an extended
expiration date of May 21, 2025, the
Company had completed cash repurchases in the open market of
3,972,876 American depositary shares ("ADSs"), representing
3,972,876 Class A ordinary shares, for an aggregate amount of
approximately US$35.5 million,
as of June 30, 2024. The aggregate value of ADSs and/or Class
A ordinary shares that remain available for purchase under the
current share repurchase program was US$114.5 million as of June 30,
2024.
Outlook
For the third quarter of 2024, Yalla currently expects
revenues to be between US$75.0
million and US$82.0 million.
The above outlook is based on current market conditions and
reflects the Company management's current and preliminary estimates
of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are
all subject to change.

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.
