Revenues from game-related services, advertising, and others grew by 209.3% year-over-year in the third quarter, reaching RMB410.2 million and contributing a record high of 26.7% of our total net revenues,” said Mr. Junhong Huang, Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Huya. “We also maintained stable engagement across our high-quality user base. Our paying users[4] rose by 9.5% year-over-year to 4.6 million in the third quarter, driven by the increase in users paying for game-related services. Furthermore, our growing collaborations with various content platforms brought our compelling game live streaming and video content to a wider audience, unlocking new commercialization opportunities. Going forward, we will continue to foster in-house content initiatives and develop productive partnerships, unleashing our potential across game-related services and live streaming and propelling our long-term business development.”
Mr. Raymond Peng Lei, Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Huya, continued, “We recorded total net revenues of RMB1.54 billion in the third quarter. While the macroeconomic and industry environment continued to weigh on our live streaming revenues, we proactively adjusted our business structure to support our strategic transformation. Game-related services, advertising and other businesses maintained strong growth momentum and made a more meaningful contribution to our topline. Overall, we delivered a stable year-over-year operating performance by improving efficiency and reducing total operating expenses by 20.9% year-over-year. Regarding shareholder returns, as of the end of September 2024, we had repurchased US$61.1 million of Huya shares through our share repurchase program. We have also returned an aggregate value of approximately US$400 million through two rounds of special cash dividends this year. As always, we remain committed to enhancing our financial and operating performance and creating greater value for shareholders.”
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total net revenues for the third quarter of 2024 were RMB1,537.7 million (US$219.1 million), compared with RMB1,664.3 million for the same period of 2023.
Live streaming revenues were RMB1,127.5 million (US$160.7 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1,531.7 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to the continued impact of the 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 were RMB410.2 million (US$58.4 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB132.6 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to increased revenues from game distribution and advertising services and in-game item sales, which was mainly attributable to the Company’s deepened cooperation with Tencent and other game companies.
Cost of revenues decreased by 6.1% to RMB1,334.1 million (US$190.1 million) for the third quarter of 2024 from RMB1,421.5 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased revenue sharing fees and content costs, as well as bandwidth and server custody fees.
Revenue sharing fees and content costs decreased by 4.9% to RMB1,172.7 million (US$167.1 million) for the third quarter of 2024 from RMB1,233.2 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased live streaming revenue sharing fees associated with the decline in live streaming revenues as well as lower costs related to licensed e-sports content, partially offset by increased game-related services, advertising and other revenue sharing fees.
Bandwidth and server custody fees decreased by 26.4% to RMB61.4 million (US$8.8 million) for the third quarter of 2024 from RMB83.4 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to continued technology and management enhancement efforts, as well as favorable pricing terms.
Gross profit was RMB203.6 million (US$29.0 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB242.8 million for the same period of 2023. Gross margin was 13.2% for the third quarter of 2024, compared with 14.6% 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 mainly because the decrease in live streaming revenues outpaced the decrease in content costs.
Research and development expenses decreased by 12.1% to RMB125.5 million (US$17.9 million) for the third quarter of 2024 from RMB142.8 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 30.4% to RMB73.3 million (US$10.4 million) for the third quarter of 2024 from RMB105.4 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 24.7% to RMB50.0 million (US$7.1 million) for the third quarter of 2024 from RMB66.4 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased professional service fees and personnel-related expenses.
Other income was RMB13.0 million (US$1.8 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB40.2 million for the same period of 2023, primarily attributable to realized damages received in the third quarter of 2023 from a favorable outcome in a broadcaster-related lawsuit and lower government subsidies.
Operating loss was RMB32.3 million (US$4.6 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB31.6 million for the same period of 2023.
Interest income was RMB96.6 million (US$13.8 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB128.5 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to lower time deposit balance, which was mainly attributable to the special cash dividends paid in May 2024 and October 2024.
Net income attributable to HUYA Inc. was RMB23.6 million (US$3.4 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB10.5 million for the same period of 2023.
Non-GAAP net income attributable to HUYA Inc. was RMB78.0 million (US$11.1 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB106.7 million for the same period of 2023.
Basic and diluted net income per American depositary share (“ADS”) were each RMB0.10 (US$0.01) for the third quarter of 2024. Basic and diluted net income per ADS were each RMB0.04 for the third quarter of 2023. Each ADS represents one Class A ordinary share of the Company.
Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS were each RMB0.34 (US$0.05) for the third quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS were RMB0.44 and RMB0.43, respectively, for the third quarter of 2023.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, short-term investment and long-term deposits of RMB8,078.4 million (US$1,151.2 million), compared with RMB8,193.3 million as of June 30, 2024.
Share Repurchase Program
The board of directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program in August 2023, under which the Company may repurchase up to US$100 million of its ADSs or ordinary shares over a 12-month period. In August 2024, the board of directors of the Company authorized an extension of the expiry date of the share repurchase program to March 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased 18.2 million ADSs with a total aggregate consideration of US$61.1 million under this program.

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.

OID 2026: Advancing Technology Partnerships to Power the Next-Gen Industrial City
Published
11 minutes agoon
November 5, 2026By
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Open Innovation Day 2026 (OID 2026), themed “Power the Next-Gen Industrial City,” took place in Ho Chi Minh City, bringing together policymakers, businesses, investors and technology partners from Viet Nam and abroad. Spanning AI infrastructure, green energy and the low-altitude economy, the event focused on the conditions needed to turn technological potential into industrial capacity and real-world market opportunities.
OID 2026 kicked off the Autumn Economic Forum 2026 (AEF 2026). Led by SoiHub – Open Innovation Hub, it was jointly organized with the Open Innovation and Technopreneur Institute (OITI); the National Academy for Advanced Technology and Innovation (NACENTECH) under the Ministry of Science and Technology of Viet Nam; Saigon Telecommunication & Technologies Corporation (SAIGONTEL); and the Viet Nam Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC C4IR), together with other co-organizers and partners.
From Policy Direction to Technological Capabilities
Speaking at the event, Mr. Truong Minh Huy Vu, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, said the city is laying the groundwork for next-generation industries, from spatial planning for high-tech industry and energy infrastructure to innovation support mechanisms. Notably, the city has rolled out policies to bridge the gap between research and commercialization, including a VND 500 billion venture capital fund. He noted that developing next-generation industries requires not only infrastructure investment but also an ecosystem capable of bringing ideas and technologies to market.
At the national level, Mr. Nguyen Khac Lich, Director General of the Department of Digital Technology and Artificial Intelligence, under the Ministry of Science and Technology of Viet Nam, stressed the need to strengthen Viet Nam’s capacity to master strategic technologies such as AI, semiconductors and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). He said Viet Nam needs to deepen its involvement in research, design and manufacturing while developing regulatory sandboxes to validate new technologies and support their progressive commercialization.
OID 2026 Highlights: Strategic Partnerships Geared Toward Real-World Deployment
Ms. Bui Thanh Hang, Director of SoiHub and Head of the OID 2026 Organizing Committee, said SoiHub has connected and co-developed 50 domestic and international technologies, received 15 technology orders from the market and established 20 strategic cooperation agreements. At OID 2026, partnerships with MobiFone, MOBY Robotics, TADI Global, NACENTECH and CITARES further expanded SoiHub’s network across smart cities, deep-sea robotics, technology transfer and technical workforce development. According to Ms. Hang, these results show that open innovation can deliver tangible value when research and technology are directly linked to the needs of businesses and the market.
AI Infrastructure: Competitiveness Goes Beyond Technology
The morning session, “Foundations of Next-Generation Industry in the AI Era,” examined the factors that will determine Viet Nam’s ability to attract investment in AI infrastructure. Mr. Samuel Ang, Senior Advisor to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), highlighted a shift in site selection criteria for AI data centers: power availability and grid capacity are becoming the top priorities, ahead of location and cost. He said countries that align their digital infrastructure ambitions with energy planning and grid modernization will be better positioned to attract international capital.
Discussions further addressed requirements for data security, computing capacity, clean energy and storage systems. On the workforce front, Ms. Sinwon Park, Director of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Country Office for Viet Nam, discussed AI’s impact on jobs and the need to upskill workers, underscoring that industrial development in the AI era demands coordinated preparation in both infrastructure and human capital.
Low-Altitude Economy: From Technology Testing to Market Development
The afternoon session, “Low-Altitude Economy – Creating New Engines of Growth,” focused on what it takes to scale UAVs and autonomous systems from standalone applications to large-scale industrial development. Drawing on experience from test sites in Japan and the United States, Mr. Joe Felter, CEO of Pickaxe Technologies, emphasized: “Start with the use case, not the equipment.” He said Viet Nam needs to develop a network of test sites integrated with research, training, manufacturing and operational standards, rather than invest in standalone testing facilities.
During the panel discussion, representatives from Viettel High Tech, the Viet Nam Aerospace Association (VASA), SoiHub and EHang further explored commercial viability, regulatory sandboxes and supply chain development. Mr. Bui Trung Hieu, representing SoiHub, raised a pivotal question: once a pilot succeeds, who will be the next customer? The question underscores that building a low-altitude economy requires not only technological capability but also a sufficiently large market and scalable business models.
From the partnership commitments announced to the challenges surrounding AI infrastructure, energy and autonomous technologies, OID 2026 pointed to a shared approach: next-generation industrial development must start from market demand, be underpinned by enabling infrastructure and policies, and involve meaningful participation from businesses, research institutions and investors.
