This further demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of our operational capabilities in our live streaming business. For YY Live in particular, we continued our efforts in content enrichment and product innovation by incorporating additional live streaming content and continuously launching new features on our platform, such as a series of casual games. Looking ahead, we will continue to further expand our product offerings and solidify our market leading position to capture the opportunities in China’s rapid growing live streaming industry.”

Huya recently submitted a draft registration statement on a confidential basis to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Committee for a possible initial public offering in the U.S. to attain its own group of investors to fund its long-term growth. We remain confident that we have the right strategy in place to drive our financial performance and sustain our rapid growth for the coming quarters and years.”

Net revenues increased by 46.0% to RMB3,626.5 million (US$557.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2017 from RMB2,484.2 million in the corresponding period of 2016, primarily driven by the increase in live streaming revenues.

Cost of revenues increased by 40.8% to RMB2,196.6 million (US$337.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2017 from RMB1,559.6 million in the corresponding period of 2016, primarily attributable to an increase in revenue-sharing fees and content costs to RMB 1,828.0 million (US$281.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2017 from RMB1,222.2 million in the corresponding period of 2016.

In addition, bandwidth costs increased to RMB 181.2 million (US$27.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2017 from RMB168.9 million in the corresponding period of 2016, primarily reflecting continued user base expansion and live streaming quality improvements but largely offset by the Company’s improved efficiency and pricing terms.

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. YY uses non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc., non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders, and basic and diluted non-GAAP net income per ADS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP operating income is operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of net revenues. Non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc. is net income attributable to YY Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net margin is non-GAAP net income attributable to YY Inc. as a percentage of net revenues. Non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders is net income attributable to common shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses. Basic and diluted non-GAAP net income per ADS is non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders divided by weighted average number of ADS used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ADS. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the non-cash impact of share-based compensation adds 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 measure for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of non-cash share-based compensation expenses, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. 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 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 similar titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure 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 “YY Inc. Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” near the end of this release.
