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.

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.

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.

OPPORTUNITY ZONE HOME PRICE GROWTH LARGELY TRACKS OTHER AREAS

Published

on

By

Median home prices grew year-over-year in 48.9 percent of Opportunity Zone census tracts, compared to 51.6 percent of tracts outside the zones.

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ATTOM, the leading provider of property data, AI-powered intelligence, and real estate analytics solutions, today released its third-quarter 2026 report analyzing qualified low-income Opportunity Zones targeted by Congress for economic redevelopment in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (see full methodology below). In this report, ATTOM looked at 3,805 census tracts in Opportunity Zones around the United States with sufficient data to analyze, meaning they had at least five home sales in the third quarter of the year.

Median single-family home and condo prices rose quarter-over-quarter in 48.1 percent (1,651) of the 3,431 Opportunity Zone tracts with sufficient data in both the second and third quarter. Year-over-year, home prices rose in 48.9 percent (1,598) of the 3,265 tracts with sufficient data in the third quarters of 2025 and 2026.

Typical home prices rose year-over-year in 51.6 percent (28,212) of the 54,704 census tracts outside of Opportunity Zones with sufficient data in both quarters to be included in the analysis, meaning that price growth was more common outside the targeted economic development zones than inside them.

In 9.4 percent (357) of Opportunity Zone census tracts, the third quarter of 2026 marked the highest median home value since the beginning of the Great Recession in 2008 and 27.1 percent of the Opportunity Zone census tracts experienced double-digit growth in home values year-over-year.

“Opportunity Zones remain a notably lower-cost segment of the housing market, with nearly 80 percent of these areas posting median home prices below the national median,” said Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM. “Even so, home values were only slightly less likely to rise in these areas in the third quarter, suggesting that many of these communities are still moving broadly with the market.”

The national median home sales price in the third quarter was $368,000. Inside Opportunity Zones, 79.5 percent of census tracts in ATTOM’s analysis had typical home prices below the national median. Outside the zones, only 50.4 percent of census tracts in the analysis had typical prices below the national median.

Due to the small number of sales in many Opportunity Zone census tracts, median price measurements can be volatile. The typical median sales price rose or fell by more than 5 percent quarter-over-quarter in 79.1 percent of the 3,431 tracts with sufficient data in the second and third quarters.

Major findings from the report:

Median single-family home and condo prices rose quarter-over-quarter in 48.1 percent (1,651) of the 3,431 Opportunity Zone census tracts with sufficient data in both the second and third quarter.Year-over-year, home prices rose in 48.9 percent (1,598) of the 3,265 Opportunity Zone census tracts with sufficient data in the third quarters of 2025 and 2026.Year-over-year, median home prices rose in 51.6 percent (28,212) of the 54,704 census tracts outside of Opportunity Zones with sufficient data in both quarters.Inside Opportunity Zones, 27.1 percent of tracts included in the analysis saw median home prices grow by at least 10 percent. Outside the zones, 29.4 percent of included tracts experienced at least double-digit growth.Among states with at least 25 Opportunity Zone census tracts with sufficient data to analyze, Maine had the largest share that experienced year-over-year median home price growth (64 percent), followed by South Carolina (61.3 percent), Wisconsin (58.3 percent), Virginia (53 percent), and Oregon (52.3 percent).ATTOM’s report incorporates ResiScores, AI-derived neighborhood rankings based on projected home price appreciation. Inside Opportunity Zones, 76 of the census tracts included in ATTOM’s analysis had ResiScores of 100, indicating that their housing markets were projected to perform better than most other census tracts in their respective metro areas.

Conclusion
ATTOM’s third quarter 2026 Opportunity Zones report showed that areas outside the zones experienced median home price growth at a greater rate than areas inside the zones and were more likely to see double-digit median home price increases.

Report methodology
The ATTOM Opportunity Zones analysis is based on home sales price data derived from recorded sales deeds. Statistics for previous quarters are revised when each new report is issued as more deed data becomes available. ATTOM’s analysis compared median home prices in census tracts designated as Opportunity Zones by the Internal Revenue Service. Except where noted, tracts were used for the analysis if they had at least five sales in the third quarter of 2026. Median household income data for tracts and counties comes from surveys taken by the U.S. Census Bureau (www.census.gov) from 2020 through 2024. The list of designated Qualified Opportunity Zones is located at U.S. Department of the Treasury. Regions are based on designations by the Census Bureau. Hawaii and Alaska, which the bureau designates as part of the Pacific region, were included in the West region for this report.

The report also included a ResiScore for each tract with sufficient data. The AI-powered scores combine housing market indicators including trends, appreciation, acceleration, forecast strength, and volatility into a single number between 0 and 100 that indicates the relative strength of a census tract’s housing market compared to other tracts in the same metropolitan area.

About ATTOM
ATTOM delivers AI-driven property intelligence built on the nation’s most trusted property data repository, covering 160+ million U.S. properties—99% of the population.

VSCO Reveals Final 25 Photographers in The Fifty, Brings Nationwide Photography Exhibition to the Streets of Miami Ahead of Art Basel

Published

Celebrating 50 photographers in 50 states, VSCO champions the people behind the images with billboards across the country, public installations and community events in Miami

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — VSCO, the photography platform millions use to edit, build a portfolio and grow their businesses, today announced the final 25 photographers selected for The Fifty, its nationwide project celebrating one photographer from every U.S. state through billboards and large-format public displays in their home markets.

VSCO champions photographers with billboards across the country, and public installations and community events in Miami

The final 25 photographers expand the breadth of The Fifty, representing a wide range of disciplines, backgrounds and career stages. Selected from more than 13,500 submissions, the largest open call in VSCO’s history, The Fifty honors the people, places and communities shaping photography across America today.

As Miami prepares for Art Basel Miami Beach in December, VSCO is bringing The Fifty to public spaces and community events across the city. Beginning Friday, November 6, a four-week wheatpaste poster exhibition across 20 locations will showcase the photographers and their work, complementing the campaign’s Florida billboard.

“For 15 years, VSCO has championed photographers, giving them the tools and community to develop their craft and help them grow,” said Eric Wittman, CEO of VSCO. “The Fifty takes that further by putting photographers and their work in front of potential clients and brands with the goal of turning visibility into real job opportunities that help them build the careers they desire.”

Visual Perspectives Across America

From established photographers working with some of the world’s biggest brands to emerging photographers developing their own visual language, The Fifty reflects the many ways photography documents the world around us. Changing traditions, migration and belonging, environmental challenges and extraordinary moments found in everyday life.

Among the newly selected photographers, Bob Miller’s The Last Generation spotlights generational knowledge disappearing from family farms and in Pennsylvania, Cielito Mercado explores how food and family recipes preserve cultural identity. Indiana-based Jingyin Che stages self-portraiture to explore belonging within American institutions, while wedding photographer Emma Bostwick explores movement and nostalgia with her intimate images.

“It is an honor to be a part of this awesome project that celebrates photography, and that I can represent the great state of New Jersey, and share my personal work with the world,” said Ed Kashi, who photographed agricultural workers harvesting crops as part of a larger project examining climate change and labor.

The first 25 photographers were announced in September and their work is now appearing on billboards throughout the country since October, including on NYSE’s digital billboard in New York City’s Times Square.

“A billboard in California, my home state, and now a billboard in Times Square is truly an experience I will never forget and one I am immensely proud of,” said California photographer  Lin Bvtcher. “I never imagined that my little project featuring women and their cars would take me here but alas, it has. I am still in shock, quite frankly.”

VSCO Takes Over Miami

As The Fifty continues its nationwide rollout, VSCO’s Miami activation begins November 6 through a series of public wheatpasting installations and community events.

On Saturday, November 7, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., VSCO will host a free community event featuring local photographer Nat Segebre who was selected to represent Florida in The Fifty, together with photographers Melina Deya and Deun Ivory. Representing different stages of their careers, the three speakers will discuss their journeys from hobby to profession, the challenges they’ve faced and their defining “I made it” moments. The conversation will be moderated by Miami-based Paul Weaver, founder of The Freelance Photographer, VSCO’s professional education platform.

On Monday, November 9, from 7 to 10 p.m., VSCO will host The Fifty Exhibition Party, bringing photographers and the creative community together to celebrate the people behind the images.

Harbinger Raises $240 Million Series D Funding Round, Led by Tiger Global

Published

on

By

Fidelity Management & Research Company, Capricorn, Greycroft, Ridgeline, and PanaceaVC also participated in the round

The new funds will support Harbinger’s growth as a manufacturing platform powering the AI economy and electrification across mobility, defense and autonomy

GARDEN GROVE, Calif., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Harbinger, an American industrial technology platform company, today announced that they have raised $240 million in Series D funding to help fuel the company’s next phase of growth. The funding round was co-led by Tiger Global, Capricorn‘s Technology Impact Fund and Ridgeline. Additional investors in the round include crossover investors Fidelity Management & Research Company; Squarepoint Capital and Xantium; returning investors Maniv and Greycroft, Australian Gulf Capital, PanaceaVC, ArcTern Ventures, and Leitmotif; and strategic investors in mobility FedEx and THOR Industries through TechNexus, as well as BuildGroup in data centers; among others.

The new funding will support Harbinger’s further expansion across multiple verticals, spanning commercial vehicles, energy storage systems, power generation, autonomy software and defense applications, as well as the continued ramp up of its medium-duty platform manufacturing capacity. With the new financing, Harbinger has raised over $650 million since its founding in 2021.

“Harbinger exists to challenge what industry has learned to accept, and reinvent the critical systems the world depends on,” said John Harris, Co-Founder and CEO of Harbinger. “By rethinking critical systems from first principles, we aim to unlock better performance, greater reliability, safer operations, and more room to grow. Electrification is at the core of everything we do, and increasingly, electrification is at the core of industry, defense, mobility, and AI. Harbinger’s role is not simply to give customers another option. It is to reset expectations for what critical systems should deliver.”

The critical industrial systems that serve the United States have long been constrained by outdated technology and accepted compromises. These are the essential systems that are depended upon to move goods, power infrastructure, protect people and enable autonomy. Rather than optimizing existing products, Harbinger engineers systems from first principles, using deep vertical integration to control product development, performance, cost and scale. This approach, first demonstrated through its medium-duty electric vehicle platform, is now being applied across industries, enabling Harbinger to address longstanding challenges and raise the standard for what customers should expect.

“Harbinger excels at electrification, and electrification has become one of the most pressing bottlenecks of the AI era,” said Griffin Schroeder, Partner, Tiger Global. “We led this financing because we see tremendous value in bringing Harbinger’s technical expertise and manufacturing capabilities to new markets.”

Harbinger recently announced that FedEx Senior Vice President of Safety and Transportation Paul Melander has joined Harbinger’s Board of Directors, to support Harbinger’s focus on enhanced driver safety, delivery quality, and enabling outstanding customer execution. FedEx recently placed an order for 2,000 all-electric Harbinger trucks valued at more than $300 million.

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley served as placement agents on the financing round.

About Harbinger
Harbinger is an American industrial technology platform company reinventing the critical systems the world depends on across transportation, power, defense, autonomy and components. The company develops advanced electrification technologies, including all-electric and hybrid medium-duty vehicle platforms, battery and drivetrain systems, energy storage and auxiliary power solutions, autonomous driving technology and defense applications.

Harbinger engineers systems from first principles, using deep vertical integration to deliver safer, more reliable, more capable and more efficient solutions at economic parity. Its technologies serve a range of applications, including medium-duty trucks, recreational vehicles (RVs), mobile healthcare units, power infrastructure and defense vehicles. Harbinger’s mission is to solve the problems industry stopped questioning and raise the standard for what customers should expect.
