GUANGZHOU, China, Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HUYA Inc. (“Huya” or the “Company”) (NYSE: HUYA), a leading game live streaming platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights[1]

Total net revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were RMB1,541.6 million (US$212.1 million), compared with RMB1,837.8 million for the same period of 2023.Net income attributable to HUYA Inc. was RMB29.6 million (US$4.1 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB20.3 million for the same period of 2023.Non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc.[2] was RMB97.0 million (US$13.3 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB117.0 million for the same period of 2023.Average mobile MAUs[3] of Huya Live for the second quarter of 2024 was 83.5 million, compared with 82.9 million for the same period of 2023.

“Huya Live’s average mobile MAUs increased to 83.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, mainly driven by the success of several e-sports events that we organized. While we continue to enrich our content and improve user experience, we are also enhancing our platform ecology by strengthening our cooperation with various content platforms. We have begun selectively offering our live-streaming and video content on other content platforms to increase the Huya platform’s influence and reach a wider range of users,” said Mr. Junhong Huang, Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Huya. “Our strategic transformation initiatives to expand our game industry presence with more game-related services also continued to advance. As we increased collaboration on game promotion, distribution, and in-game item sales with a growing roster of game titles, revenues from our game-related services, advertising and other businesses increased by 152.7% year over year and 26.6% quarter over quarter to RMB308.5 million in the second quarter, accounting for 20.0% of total net revenues. Furthermore, the expansion of our game-related services contributed to a sequential increase in paying users[4] on Huya Live, reaching 4.5 million in the quarter. Looking ahead, we will continue to consolidate our foundation as we explore long-term possibilities across the game industry chain, driving development through content and platform ecology upgrades, technology advancement and product innovation.”

Ms. Ashley Xin Wu, Huya’s Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance, continued, “Despite ongoing uncertainties in the macro environment and industry landscape, our second quarter total net revenues returned to growth quarter over quarter to reach RMB1.54 billion, driven by game-related services, advertising, and other businesses. The increased contribution of the higher-margin game-related services business to total net revenues and our continued operational efficiency improvements, highlighted by a 26.3% year-over-year reduction in total operating expenses, further enhanced our overall operating results. In terms of shareholder returns, we have repurchased 17.1 million Huya shares with a total aggregate consideration of US$56.7 million as of the end of June 2024. Upon review of our financials, business plans, capital requirements, and cash position, we are also pleased to declare a special cash dividend totaling approximately US$250 million for our shareholders. We believe that Huya’s solid balance sheet and improving financial fundamentals will continue to support our ability to deliver shareholder returns going forward.”

[1] In December 2023, the Company acquired a global mobile application service provider from Tencent Holdings Limited for an aggregate cash consideration of US$81 million, the principal terms of which were previously disclosed. As a result of this business combination under common control, in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company has consolidated the financial results of this mobile application service provider on a retrospective basis since the first quarter of 2022. Accordingly, retrospective adjustments have been made to the Company’s consolidated historical financial information presented herein, reflecting the consolidation of this mobile application service provider. The Company does not believe the retrospective adjustments to the Company’s results to be material, as compared to the historical financial information previously presented. Given that this was a transaction that involved entities under common control of Tencent Holdings Limited, all assets and assumed liabilities transferred have been recognized at the historical cost of the parent.

[2] “Non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc.” is defined as net income attributable to HUYA Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment loss of investments, and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable.

Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.

[4] Refers to the sum of user accounts that purchased various products and services on the Company’s platform at least once during such relevant period.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total net revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were RMB1,541.6 million (US$212.1 million), compared with RMB1,837.8 million for the same period of 2023.

Live streaming revenues were RMB1,233.1 million (US$169.7 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1,715.7 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to the continued soft macroeconomic and industry environment and the Company’s proactive business adjustments in support of its strategic transformation and prudent operations.

Game-related services, advertising and other revenues (formerly known as advertising and other revenues) were RMB308.5 million (US$42.5 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB122.1 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to increased revenues from game distribution and advertising services and in-game item sales.

Cost of revenues decreased by 14.4% to RMB1,326.7 million (US$182.6 million) for the second quarter of 2024 from RMB1,549.7 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased revenue sharing fees and content costs, as well as bandwidth costs.

Revenue sharing fees and content costs decreased by 12.6% to RMB1,170.2 million (US$161.0 million) for the second quarter of 2024 from RMB1,338.4 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased live streaming revenue sharing fees associated with the decline in live streaming revenues, partially offset by increased game-related services, advertising and other revenue sharing fees, as well as content costs for in-house produced content.

Bandwidth costs decreased by 40.2% to RMB60.9 million (US$8.4 million) for the second quarter of 2024 from RMB101.8 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to improved bandwidth cost management, favorable pricing terms and continued technology enhancement efforts.

Gross profit was RMB214.9 million (US$29.6 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB288.1 million for the same period of 2023. Gross margin was 13.9% for the second quarter of 2024, compared with 15.7% for the same period of 2023. This change was primarily attributable to increased revenue sharing fees and content costs as a percentage of total net revenues, which rose partially due to higher content costs incurred for in-house produced content.

Research and development expenses decreased by 11.5% to RMB128.7 million (US$17.7 million) for the second quarter of 2024 from RMB145.4 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased personnel-related expenses and share-based compensation expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 48.0% to RMB61.7 million (US$8.5 million) for the second quarter of 2024 from RMB118.6 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased marketing and promotion fees, as well as personnel-related expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 21.0% to RMB63.7 million (US$8.8 million) for the second quarter of 2024 from RMB80.7 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased professional service fees, personnel-related expenses and share-based compensation expenses.

Other income was RMB13.2 million (US$1.8 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB23.8 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased government subsidies.

Operating loss was RMB26.0 million (US$3.6 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB32.9 million for the same period of 2023.

Interest income was RMB102.5 million (US$14.1 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB125.3 million for the same period of 2023.

Net income attributable to HUYA Inc. was RMB29.6 million (US$4.1 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB20.3 million for the same period of 2023.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc. was RMB97.0 million (US$13.3 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB117.0 million for the same period of 2023.

Basic and diluted net income per American depositary share (“ADS”) were each RMB0.13 (US$0.02) for the second quarter of 2024. Basic and diluted net income per ADS were each RMB0.08 for the second quarter of 2023. Each ADS represents one Class A ordinary share of the Company.

Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS were RMB0.42 (US$0.06) and RMB0.41 (US$0.06), respectively, for the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS were each RMB0.48 and RMB0.47, respectively, for the second quarter of 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, short-term investment and long-term deposits of RMB8,193.3 million (US$1,127.4 million), compared with RMB9,419.8 million as of March 31, 2024.

Share Repurchase Program 

On August 15, 2023, the board of directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$100 million of its ADSs or ordinary shares over a 12-month period. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased 17.1 million ADSs with a total aggregate consideration of US$56.7 million under this program.

In August 2024, the board of directors of the Company authorized the renewal and continued use of the unutilized quota under the existing share repurchase program of US$43.3 million, which is effective through March 31, 2025.

Declaration of Special Cash Dividend

The board of directors of the Company has declared a special cash dividend of US$1.08 per ordinary share, or US$1.08 per ADS, to holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs of record as of the close of business on October 9, 2024, payable in U.S. dollars. The total amount of cash to be distributed for the special cash dividend is expected to be approximately US$250 million, which will be funded by surplus cash on the Company’s balance sheet. The payment date for holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs is expected to be on or around October 25, 2024. Holders of the Company’s ADSs will receive the cash dividend through the depositary bank, subject to the terms of the deposit agreement.

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. Huya uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc., non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ordinary shares, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation expenses allocated in cost of revenues. Non-GAAP operating loss is operating loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. Non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc. is net income attributable to HUYA Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment loss of investments, and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders is net income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment loss of investments, and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS is non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of ADS used in the calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the impact of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment loss of investments, and (iii) amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions (net of income taxes), add 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 measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures represent useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of (i) share-based compensation expenses, and (ii) amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions (net of income taxes), which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business, and (iii) impairment loss of investments, which may recur when there is observable price change in the future. 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 a non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measures 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 “HUYA Inc. Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this announcement.

eSign.AI Named Sole Electronic Signature Technology Provider for Hong Kong Government’s CorpID Project, Building the Foundation for Digital Signing Infrastructure in Hong Kong

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Hong Kong’s Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) counts down to its phased launch, eSign.AI has been appointed as the sole electronic signature vendor in the project, responsible for delivering core digital signing capabilities including digital signatures, certificate management, and signature verification services. CorpID is led by Nexify, a seasoned government systems integrator, as the prime contractor. The platform is expected to launch in phases starting late 2026, with multiple CorpID-based e-government services going live in mid-2027.

CorpID: Government-Grade Digital Identity Infrastructure for Hong Kong Enterprises

The Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) is an enterprise-level digital services platform launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government, developed under the oversight of the Digital Policy Office (DPO). It is designed to serve as the business equivalent of “iAM Smart,” providing a unified digital identity foundation for Hong Kong enterprises. CorpID’s core mission is to build an integrated digital government infrastructure — offering unified identity authentication, digital signing, form pre-filling, and e-licence storage — replacing paper-heavy, cumbersome traditional processes and enabling smart city development through seamless data connectivity.

The platform is open to companies incorporated under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and businesses registered under the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap. 310), including sole proprietorships and partnerships. The DPO requires all enterprise-related e-government services to support CorpID within 18 months of launch, and will continue expanding ecosystem coverage through sandbox initiatives, cross-industry identity standard interoperability, and fully online registration processes.

eSign.AI: The Digital Signing Engine Behind CorpID

eSign.AI is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide, offering a complete signing framework from simple electronic signatures to the highest-level compliant digital signatures — meeting diverse regulatory requirements across industries and jurisdictions.

On the identity verification front, eSign.AI has completed integration with iAM Smart, enabling individual identity verification through Hong Kong’s citizen digital identity system, and providing legally valid digital certificate services for both enterprises and individuals.

Looking ahead, the eSign.AI SaaS platform will be deeply integrated with CorpID, providing enterprise and individual identity verification for Hong Kong businesses, and supporting both electronic and digital signing that complies with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance — connecting the full digital contracting lifecycle for government and enterprise alike.

Getting Ahead of the AI Era: From eSignGlobal to eSign.AI

The electronic signature industry is undergoing a structural shift from “tooling” to “intelligence.” Market data underscores this acceleration: the AI-powered contract analysis tools market has grown from USD 3.32 billion in 2025 to USD 4.3 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 29.6%. Signing is just one node in the contract lifecycle — document generation, workflow orchestration, compliance tracking, and post-execution management are all being transformed by AI, and the industry window is closing fast.

In April 2026, the company officially rebranded from eSignGlobal to eSign.AI, completing its strategic transformation from an e-signature tool provider to an AI-native contract automation platform. As the company’s spokesperson noted, this rebrand is not cosmetic — it is an acknowledgment of where the product actually is. Customers were already using eSign.AI to automate workflows that go far beyond the signature itself.

eSign Automation Skill was launched alongside the rebrand — an AI-powered signing automation framework for enterprise workflows that enables complete contract signing through natural language interaction, with no manual intervention required. Whether it is single-party approval, multi-party sequential signing, or large-scale parallel execution, an AI Agent can orchestrate the entire workflow in a single call. All signature initiations and status queries return structured JSON outputs, directly parseable by leading large language models and intelligent workflow systems.

eSign Automation is now available in the OpenClaw ecosystem and supports integration via Claude MCP, ChatGPT, and other leading AI platforms.

By combining AI automation capabilities with CorpID’s government-grade digital identity infrastructure, eSign.AI delivers a complete solution for Hong Kong enterprises — from identity verification to intelligent signing to full workflow automation.

About eSign.AI

eSign.AI (formerly eSignGlobal) is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide. The platform serves over 100 countries and regions, covering core industries including financial services, manufacturing, real estate, human resources, and healthcare — with 1,500+ scenario applications and 3,000+ ecosystem partners. eSign.AI holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 27018 certifications and supports major regulatory frameworks including the U.S. ESIGN Act / UETA, EU eIDAS, HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11. Infrastructure is anchored by independent data centers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Frankfurt, Germany.

SUNMI Wins 2026 Red Dot Design Awards with Five Products, Leading Global Commercial Industrial Design

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The winners of the 2026 German Red Dot Design Award were officially announced. Five of SUNMI Technology’s flagship products won awards: the CPad Business Tablet, CPad PAY, FLEX 3 Interactive Display, the V3 handheld POS Terminal and L3 Industrial PDA. These products stood out with three core design concepts: integration, versatility and human-centricity.

Known as “The Oscars” of global industrial design, the Red Dot Award has strict evaluation criteria covering aesthetics, ergonomics, scenario adaptability and sustainability. SUNMI adheres to original commercial scenario customization, rejecting crudely modified consumer devices. All winning products are originally developed for real commercial scenarios such as cash register, food delivery, industrial inspection and store operations, covering the entire commercial track with high scenario adaptability. Meanwhile, it practices ESG concepts, adopting eco-friendly materials and modular structures to extend equipment service life, reduce consumable consumption, and implement low-carbon and long-term design, which perfectly meets the Red Dot’s sustainability evaluation criteria.

Simplify Complexity: With highly integrated design, SUNMI eliminates the “patchwork feeling” of cluttered devices and tangled cables in traditional commercial scenarios, streamlining store operations and saving space.All-in-One Versatility: Beyond a single tool function, SUNMI’s products achieve flexible transformation through modular and multi-form designs to proactively adapt to changing business needs. The CPad series with modular accessories and FLEX 3’s Lego-style modular design enable multi-scenario application and long-term reuse.Human-Centric Design: Every detail is human-oriented, focusing on real pain points to enhance scenario experience. The L3 Industrial PDA reduces high-frequency work fatigue through scientific weight distribution; the V3 Smart POS Terminal balances large-screen visibility and grip comfort; CPad PAY integrates full-link functions to simplify workflows.

These honors stem from SUNMI’s long-term commitment to a sustainable society, original commercial R&D and ESG. In the future, SUNMI will uphold its core concepts, expand the boundaries of commercial industrial design, and empower global businesses with user-oriented, eco-friendly and high-value products.
