, /PRNewswire/ -- Hello Group Inc. (NASDAQ: MOMO) ("Hello Group" or the "Company"), a leading player in Asia's online social networking space, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2025. Second Quarter of 2025 Highlights Net revenues decreased by 2.6% year over year to RMB2,620.4 million (US$365.8 million*) in the second quarter of 2025. Net revenues from overseas increased by 72.7% year over year to RMB442.4 million (US$61.8 million) in the second quarter of 2025. Net loss attributable to Hello Group Inc. was RMB140.2 million (US$19.6 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a net income of RMB397.8 million in the same period of 2024. Non-GAAP net loss attributable to Hello Group Inc. (note 1) was RMB96.0 million (US$13.4 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a net income of RMB449.2 million in the same period of 2024. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company accrued an additional withholding tax of RMB547.9 million (US$76.5 million) related to dividends paid or payable by its wholly-foreign owned enterprise ("WFOE") in Chinese mainland to its offshore parent company in Hong Kong, Momo Hong Kong. This accrual followed a notice the Company's WFOE, Momo Beijing, received from the Chinese tax authorities requiring Momo Beijing to withhold tax at the standard rate of 10% instead of the previously applied preferential rate of 5%. The RMB547.9 million (US$76.5 million) accrual in withholding tax was for prior periods. This accrual is unrelated to the normal business operation of the current period and future periods. In the second quarter of 2025 and going forward, we will continue to accrue withholding tax for the dividends payable by Momo Beijing to Momo Hong Kong at the standard rate of 10%. Further details are provided under "Income tax expenses."

Non-GAAP diluted net loss per ADS (note 1) was RMB0.58 (US$0.08) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a diluted net income per ADS of RMB2.38 in the same period of 2024. Monthly Active Users ("MAU") on Tantan app were 10.2 million in June 2025, compared to 12.9 million in June 2024.

"Q2 was a good quarter.

Our Momo business has progressively stabilized, with both revenue and profit surpassing our initial expectations. For our overseas business, we have successfully maintained rapid growth while controlling costs and expenses effectively. This strategic approach keeps our overseas business on course to deliver an increasingly meaningful contribution to the group's overall financial performance. " Second Quarter of 2025 Financial Results Net revenues Total net revenues were RMB2,620.4 million (US$365.8 million) in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 2.6% from RMB2,691.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. Value-added service revenues mainly include virtual gift revenues from various audio, video and text- based scenarios, and membership subscription revenues. Total value-added service revenues were RMB2,579.3 million (US$360.1 million) in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 2.6% from RMB2,648.3 million during the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a soft consumer sentiment among top users in the current macro environment of Momo app, and to a lesser extent, the decline in Tantan's paying users which was in turn due to the decline in user base. The decrease was partially mitigated by the rapid revenue growth from our overseas apps, driven by the strong performance of the relatively established brand-Soulchill, along with the monetization of a collection of new apps. Other services revenues were RMB41.1 million (US$5.7 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to RMB43.1 million during the same period of 2024. Net revenues from Chinese mainland decreased from RMB2,435.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 to RMB2,177.9 million (US$304.0 million) in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the decrease in net revenues from Momo app and Tantan app. Net revenues from overseas increased from RMB256.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 to RMB442.4 million (US$61.8 million) in the second quarter of 2025, driven by the growth of Souchill and incremental revenue from emerging brands. Cost and expenses Cost and expenses were RMB2,227.7 million (US$311.0 million) in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 2.1% from RMB2,275.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to: (a) a decrease in Tantan's marketing and promotional expense due to our continuous initiatives to control cost and optimize Tantan's channel marketing strategy, partially offset by an increase in sales and marketing expenses related to the promotion of overseas apps; (b) a decrease in revenue sharing with broadcasters on Momo apps, which was partially offset by an increase in revenue sharing with virtual gift recipients for overseas apps; and (c) a decrease in production costs in connection with films. Non-GAAP cost and expenses (note 1) were RMB2,183.6 million (US$304.8 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to RMB2,223.8 million during the same period of 2024. Income from operations Income from operations was RMB403.5 million (US$56.3 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to RMB425.0 million during the same period of 2024. Non-GAAP income from operations (note 1) was RMB447.7 million (US$62.5 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to RMB476.5 million during the same period of 2024. Income tax expenses Income tax expenses were RMB638.4 million (US$89.1 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to RMB102.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. On August 27, 2025, the Company's WFOE, Momo Beijing, received a notice from the Chinese tax authorities requiring Momo Beijing to withhold tax at the standard rate of 10% instead of the previously applied preferential rate of 5%. As a result, the Company accrued an additional withholding tax of RMB547.9 million (US$76.5 million). Of this total amount, RMB356.1 million (US$49.7 million) was related to dividends paid by Momo Beijing in 2024 and in the first half of 2025, and this amount has been remitted in September 2025. The remaining RMB191.8 million (US$26.8 million) represents additional withholding tax accrued for the undistributed retained earnings of Momo Beijing as of March 31st 2025. The RMB547.9 million (US$76.5 million) accrual in withholding tax was for prior periods. This accrual is unrelated to the normal business operation of the current period and future periods. In the second quarter of 2025 and going forward, we will continue to accrue withholding tax for the dividends payable by Momo Beijing to Momo Hong Kong at the standard rate of 10%.

Note 1: Non-GAAP measures To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we, Hello Group, use various non-GAAP financial measures that are adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, and such adjustments has no impact on income tax. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are shown in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details about the non-GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information to help investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors' overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of our continuing operations and our prospects for the future. Our non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to the GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. Our non-GAAP information (including non-GAAP cost and operating expenses, income from operations, net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Hello Group Inc., and diluted net income (loss) per ADS) is adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, and such adjustments has no impact on income tax. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future significant recurring expenses in our results of operations. We compensate for such limitation by providing reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to our U.S. GAAP measures. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this earnings release.
