Operations | 1. Operations Bilibili Inc. (the “Company” or “Bilibili”) is an iconic brand and a leading video community for young generations in China. Incorporated as a limited liability company in the Cayman Islands in December 2013, the Company, through its consolidated subsidiaries, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and subsidiaries of the VIEs (collectively referred to as the “Group”), is primarily engaged in the operation of providing online entertainment services to users in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”). In April 2018, the Company completed its IPO on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. In March 2021, the Company successfully listed its Class Z ordinary shares on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Company issued a total 28,750,000 Class Z ordinary shares in the global offering, including the fully exercised over-allotment option of 3,750,000 Class Z ordinary shares. Net proceeds from the global offering, including the over-allotment option, after deducting underwriting fees and other offering expenses, were approximately HKD22.9 billion (RMB19.3 billion). On October 3, 2022 (the “Primary Conversion Effective Date”), the Company’s voluntary conversion of its secondary listing status to primary listing on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange became effective. The Company became a dual-primary listed company on the main board of Hong Kong Stock Exchange in Hong Kong and the NASDAQ Global Select Market in the United States. In January 2023, the Company completed the offering of 15,344,000 ADSs at US$26.65 per ADS. The amount of net proceeds from such offering (after deducting all applicable costs and expenses including but not limited to selling commission) is approximately US$396.9 million (RMB2,689.4 million). Shortly thereafter, the Company completed repurchased of an aggregate principal amount of US$384.8 million (RMB2.6 billion) b As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s major subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of the VIEs are as follows: Major Subsidiaries Place and Year of Incorporation Percentage of Direct or Indirect Economic Ownership Principal Activities Bilibili HK Limited Hong Kong, 2014 100 Investment holding Hode HK Limited Hong Kong, 2014 100 Investment holding Chaodian HK Limited Hong Kong, 2019 100 Investment holding Bilibili Co., Ltd.

Contractual agreements with major VIEs In order to comply with the PRC laws and regulations which prohibit or restrict foreign control of companies involved in provision of internet content services, the Group operates its restricted businesses in the PRC through the VIEs, whose equity interests are held by certain founders of the Group. The Company obtained control over these VIEs by entering into a series of contractual arrangements with the legal shareholders who are also referred to as nominee shareholders. These nominee shareholders are the legal owners of the VIEs. However, the rights of those nominee shareholders have been transferred to the Company through the contractual arrangements. The contractual arrangements that are used to control the VIEs include powers of attorney, exclusive technology consulting and services agreements or exclusive business cooperation agreements, equity pledge agreements and exclusive option agreements. Management concluded that the Company, through the contractual arrangements, has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance, bears the risks of and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the VIEs, and therefore the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary of these VIEs. As such, the Company consolidates the financial statements of these VIEs. Consequently, the financial results of the VIEs were included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the presentation as stated in Note 2(a). The following is a summary of the contractual agreements entered into by and among the Company’s relevant subsidiaries, the VIEs, and respective nominee shareholders of the VIEs. Exclusive Technology Consulting and Services Agreements. Exclusive Option Agreements. Pursuant to the exclusive purchase option agreement, among the Company’s relevant subsidiaries, the VIEs and its nominee shareholders, each of the nominee shareholders of the VIEs irrevocably granted the Company’s relevant subsidiaries an exclusive option to purchase, or have its designated person to purchase, at its discretion, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of their equity interests in the VIEs, and the purchase price shall be the lowest price permitted by applicable PRC law. In addition, the VIEs irrevocably granted the Company’s relevant subsidiaries an exclusive option to purchase, or have its designated person to purchase, at its discretion, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the VIEs’ assets at the book value of such assets, or at the lowest price permitted by applicable PRC law, whichever is higher. The nominee shareholders of the VIEs undertake that, without the prior written consent of the Company’s relevant subsidiaries, they shall not increase or decrease the registered capital, dispose of its assets, incur any debts or guarantee liabilities, enter into any material purchase agreements, conduct any merger, acquisition or investments, amend its articles of association or provide any loans to third parties. The exclusive option agreements will remain effective until all equity interests in the VIEs held by their nominee shareholders and all assets of the VIEs are transferred or assigned to the Company’s relevant subsidiaries or its designated representatives. Powers of Attorney attorney-in-fact Equity Pledge Agreements. arrangements. Risks in relation to the VIE structure A significant part of the Group’s business is conducted through the VIEs of the Group, of which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary. In the opinion of management, the contractual arrangements with the VIEs and the nominee shareholders are in compliance with PRC laws and regulations and are legally binding and enforceable. The nominee shareholders are also shareholders of the Group and have indicated they will not act contrary to the contractual arrangements. However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations including those that govern the contractual arrangements, which could limit the Group’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements and if the nominee shareholders of the VIE were to reduce their interests in the Group, their interest may diverge from that of the Group and that may potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the contractual arrangements. On March 15, 2019, the National People’s Congress approved the Foreign Investment Law, effective on January 1, 2020. The Foreign Investment Law has a catch-all The Company’s ability to control the VIEs also depends on the powers of attorney the founders have to vote on all matters requiring shareholder approval in the VIEs. As noted above, the Company believes these powers of attorney are legally enforceable but may not be as effective as direct equity ownership. In addition, if the Group’s corporate structure or the contractual arrangements with the VIEs were found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the PRC regulatory authorities could, within their respective jurisdictions: • revoke the Group’s business and/or operating licenses; • impose fines on the Group; • confiscate any of the Group’s income that they deem to be obtained through illegal operations; • discontinue or place restrictions or onerous conditions on the Group’s operations; • restrict the Group’s right to collect revenues; • shut down the Group’s servers or block the Group’s app/websites; • require the Group to restructure the operations, re-apply • impose additional conditions or requirements with which the Group may not be able to comply; or • take other regulatory or enforcement actions against the Group that could be harmful to the Group’s business. The imposition of any of these restrictions or actions could result in a material adverse effect on the Group’s ability to conduct its business. In such case, the Group may not be able to operate or control the VIEs, which may result in deconsolidation of the VIEs in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the likelihood for the Group to lose such ability is remote based on current facts and circumstances. The Group believes that the contractual arrangements among each of the VIEs, their respective shareholders and relevant wholly foreign-owned enterprises are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. The Group’s operations depend on the VIEs to honor their contractual arrangements with the Group. These contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and disputes arising out of these agreements are expected to be decided by arbitration in the PRC. Management believes that each of the contractual arrangements constitutes valid and legally binding obligations of each party to such contractual arrangements under PRC laws. However, the interpretation and implementation of the laws and regulations in the PRC and their application on the legality, binding effect and enforceability of contracts are subject to the discretion of competent PRC authorities, and therefore there is no assurance that relevant PRC authorities will take the same position as the Group herein in respect of the legality, binding effect and enforceability of each of the contractual arrangements. Meanwhile, since the PRC legal system continues to evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to the Group to enforce the contractual arrangements should the VIEs or the nominee shareholders of the VIEs fail to perform their obligations under those arrangements. Conflicts of interest may arise between the roles of them as shareholders, directors or officers of Group and as shareholders of the VIEs. The following combined financial information of the Group’s VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022 and 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group was as follows: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2023 RMB in thousands Cash and cash equivalents 1,590,440 1,893,282 Time deposits 4,186 4,259 Restricted cash — 50,000 Accounts receivable, net 619,927 800,158 Amounts due from Group companies 507,849 484,413 Amount due from related parties 119,857 3,412 Prepayments and other current assets 883,903 477,430 Short-term investments 272,340 206,811 Long-term investments, net 1,852,740 1,633,932 Other non-current 5,852,315 5,216,774 Total assets 11,703,557 10,770,471 Accounts payable 3,452,192 3,320,121 Salary and welfare payables 343,786 310,062 Taxes payable 165,162 123,728 Short-term loan 400,000 600,000 Deferred revenue 2,138,539 2,116,463 Accrued liabilities and other payables 531,188 619,556 Amounts due to the Group companies 12,415,760 12,631,675 Amounts due to related parties 27,929 14,845 Other long-term payable 269,623 302,203 Total liabilities 19,744,179 20,038,653 Total Bilibili Inc’s shareholders’ deficit (8,042,238 ) (9,279,384 ) Noncontrolling interests 1,616 11,202 Total shareholders’ deficit (8,040,622 ) (9,268,182 ) Total liabilities and shareholders’ deficit 11,703,557 10,770,471 For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 2022 2023 RMB in thousands Third-party revenues 12,867,536 14,876,639 14,642,361 Inter-company revenues 1,574,896 1,198,107 990,698 Total revenues 14,442,432 16,074,746 15,633,059 Third-party costs and expenses (16,283,295 ) (18,436,865 ) (15,591,936 ) Inter-company consulting and services costs and expenses (593,272 ) (726,875 ) (581,599 ) Other inter-company costs and expenses (271,096 ) (418,667 ) (282,725 ) Total costs and expenses (17,147,663 ) (19,582,407 ) (16,456,260 ) Loss from non-operations (163,146 ) (268,584 ) (263,022 ) Loss before income tax expenses (2,868,377 ) (3,776,245 ) (1,086,223 ) Income tax (38,997 ) (89,660 ) (31,321 ) Net loss (2,907,374 ) (3,865,905 ) (1,117,544 ) Net loss/(profit) attributable to noncontrolling interests 10,367 9,088 (9,587 ) Net loss attributable to Bilibili Inc.’s shareholders (2,897,007 ) (3,856,817 ) (1,127,131 ) For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 2022 2023 RMB in thousands Consulting and services charges to Group companies (637,787 ) (610,600 ) (760,716 ) Other operating cashflow from Group companies 1,683,907 3,863,991 1,822,310 Operating cashflow (to)/from third-parties (1,729,079 ) (2,339,697 ) 828,787 Net cash (used in)/provided by operating activities (682,959 ) 913,694 1,890,381 Purchase of short-term (12,610,305 ) (7,335,115 ) (1,126,000 ) Maturities of short-term 12,954,425 7,970,552 1,126,500 Placements of time deposits (39,318 ) (1,270 ) (5,701 ) Maturities of time deposits 54,319 4,444 5,701 Other investing activities (3,265,756 ) (2,188,712 ) (944,970 ) Net cash used in investing activities (2,906,635 ) (1,550,101 ) (944,470 ) Investments and loans from/(to) Group companies 3,307,226 1,884,890 (695,870 ) Other financing activities 300,000 — 92,265 Net cash provided by/(used in) financing activities 3,607,226 1,884,890 (603,605 ) In accordance with various contractual agreements, the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIEs and can have assets transferred out of the VIEs.

Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Significant Accounting Policies a) Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below. b) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs (inclusive of the VIEs’ subsidiaries) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power, has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors, or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. A consolidated VIE is an entity in which the Company’s subsidiary, through contractual arrangements, has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, bears the risks of and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore the Company’s subsidiary is the primary beneficiary of the entity. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs (inclusive of the VIEs’ subsidiaries) have been eliminated upon consolidation. There is no VIE in the Group where the Company or any subsidiary c) Use of estimates The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with the U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date and reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates include, but are not limited to, determination of the average playing period for paying players, and assessment for the impairment of long-term investments accounted for using the measurement alternative. d) Functional currency and foreign currency translation The Group uses Renminbi (“RMB”) as its reporting currency. The Company and several of its overseas subsidiaries use US$ or their respective local currencies as their functional currency. The functional currency of the Group’s PRC entities is RMB. In the consolidated financial statements, the financial information of the Company and other entities located outside of the PRC have been translated into RMB. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date, equity amounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as foreign currency translation adjustments, and are shown as a component of other comprehensive (loss)/income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in exchange losses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. e) Convenience Translation Translations of balances on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of cash flows from RMB into US$ as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB7.0999, representing the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on December 29, 2023. No representation is made that the RMB amounts represent or could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at such rate. f) Fair value measurements Financial instruments Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: a. Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. b. Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical asset or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. c. Level 3 applies to asset or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Group’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits, accounts receivable, other receivables, amounts due from/to related parties, short-term investments, accounts payable, short-term loan, accrual liabilities and other payables of which the carrying values approximate their fair values. Please see Note 22 for additional information. g) Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits Cash and cash equivalents mainly represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with large reputable banks in the United States of America and China, and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and with original maturities from the date of purchase with terms of three months or less. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, there were cash on hand and demand deposits with terms less than three months denominated in U.S. dollars amounting to approximately US$ As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Group had approximately RMB4,414.9 million and RMB5,632.1 million cash and cash equivalents held by its PRC subsidiaries and the VIEs, representing 43% and 78% of total cash and cash equivalents of the Group, respectively. Time deposits represent deposits placed with banks with original maturities more than three months but less than one year. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, there were time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars amounting to approximately US$684.6 million, and US$733.5 million, respectively (equivalent to approximately RMB4,768.0 million and RMB5,194.9 million, respectively). The Group had no other lien arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or for use or pledged as security is reported separately on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the restricted cash balance was RMB14.8 million and RMB50.0 million. h) Receivables, net The Group’s accounts receivable, amount due from related parties and other receivables recorded in prepayments and other current assets are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from advertising customers, and receivables from distribution channels. To estimate expected credit losses, the Group has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables and other receivables which include size, type of the services or the products the Group provides, or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools. For each pool, the Group considers the past collection experience, current economic conditions, future economic conditions (external data and macroeconomic factors) and changes in the Group’s customer collection trends. This is assessed at each quarter based on the Group’s specific facts and circumstances. No significant impact of changes in the assumptions since adoption. The Group recorded a provision for current expected credit losses For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 2022 2023 RMB in thousands Beginning balance 121,003 292,473 305,535 Provisions/(Reversal) 189,165 130,549 (16,000 ) Write-offs (17,695 ) (117,487 ) (70,334 ) Ending balance 292,473 305,535 219,201 i) Inventories, net Inventories, mainly represent products for the Group’s e-commerce j) Property and equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets loss. k) Intangible assets, net Intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions are recognized as assets separate from goodwill if they satisfy either the “contractual-legal” or “separability” criterion. Purchased intangible assets are initially recognized and measured at fair value. Major identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method as follows: Licensed copyrights of content shorter of the licensed period or projected useful life of the content, mainly vary from 1 to 10 years License rights of mobile games shorter of the licensed period or projected useful life of mobile games, mainly vary from 1 to 3 years Intellectual property and others 1 - If expectations of the usefulness of the content are revised downward, the unamortized cost is written down to the fair value, which establishes a new cost basis. l) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired entity as a result of the Company’s acquisitions of interests in its subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs. Goodwill is not depreciated or amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis, and between annual tests when an event or circumstances change occurs that indicate the asset might be impaired. Under ASC 350-20-35, The Group, therefore, chooses the quantitative assessment directly and performs the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with it carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The estimated fair value of reporting unit is determined using either an income approach or a market approach, when appropriate. The judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. The Group as a whole is determined to be one reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing. The Group applied the quantitative assessment and performed the goodwill impairment test by quantitatively comparing the fair values of the reporting unit to it carrying amounts. The Group determines the fair value of the reporting unit based on its quoted stock price, and no impairment charge was recognized for any of the periods presented m) Impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than the Group had originally estimated. When these events occur, the Group evaluates the impairment for the long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value of the assets to an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the fair value of the assets. n) Research and development expenses Research and development expenses mainly consist of payroll-related expenses incurred for the innovation of video function, development and enhancement to the Group’s websites, platforms of applications, development of online games and the termination of certain game projects. For internal use software, the Group expenses all costs incurred for the preliminary project stage and post implementation-operation stage of development, and costs associated with repair or maintenance of the existing platforms. Costs incurred in the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life. Since the amount of the Group’s research and development expenses qualifying for capitalization has been immaterial, as a result, all development costs incurred for development of internal used software have been expensed as incurred. For external use software, costs incurred for development of external use software have not been capitalized since the inception of the Group, because the period after the date technical feasibility is reached and the time when the software is marketed is short historically, and the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been immaterial. o) Sales and marketing expenses Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of marketing and promotional expenses, salaries and other compensation-related expenses to the Group’s sales and marketing personnel. Marketing and promotional expenses consist primarily of costs for the promotion of corporate image and product marketing. The Group expenses all marketing and promotion costs as incurred and classifies these costs under sales and marketing expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the marketing and promotional expenses were RMB5,102.9 million, RMB4,051.3 million and RMB3,131.0 million, respectively. p) General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other compensation-related expenses to the Group’s general and administrative personnel, professional fees, severance cost, rental expenses and allowance for expected credit losses. q) Leases The Group recognizes the right-of-use s The Group elected to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less, and to not separate non-lease Right-of-use The Group leases office space under non-cancelable 2026 December 31, 2023 RMB in thousands 2024 201,694 2025 180,547 2026 121,161 2027 80 Total future lease payments 503,482 Impact of discounting remaining lease payments (30,027 ) Total lease liabilities 473,455 Operating lease cost for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 was RMB177.4 million, RMB275.1 million and RMB million, respectively, which excluded cost of short-term contracts. Short-term lease cost for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 was immaterial. Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases was as follows: For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 2022 2023 RMB in thousands Cash payments for operating leases 161,997 200,376 206,518 Right-of-use 152,481 467,765 (60,910 ) r) Share-based compensation Share based compensation expenses arise from share-based awards, including share options and restricted share units(“RSUs”) for the purchase of the Company’s ordinary shares. The Group accounts for share-based awards granted to employees in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation For share options for the purchase of ordinary shares granted to employees determined to be equity classified awards, the related share-based compensation expenses are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values which are calculated using the binomial option pricing model. The determination of the fair value is affected by the share price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including the expected share price volatility, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. The Group recognizes the estimated compensation cost of restricted share units based on the fair value of its ordinary shares on the date of the grant. The Group recognizes the compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, over a vesting term for service-based RSUs. For share-based awards granted with service conditions only s) Employee benefits PRC Contribution Plan Full time employees of the Group in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to the employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries and VIEs of the Group make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government. The Group has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. t) Investments Short-term investments Short-term investments primarily include financial products with variable interest rates referenced to performance of underlying assets issued by commercial banks or other financial institutions and investments in publicly traded companies with the intention to be sold within twelve months. In accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments For investments in publicly traded companies, the Group carries the investments at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of these investments are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “Investment loss, net (including impairments)”. Long-term investments, net The Group’s long-term investments primarily consist of equity investments accounted for using the measurement alternative, equity investments accounted for using the equity method and other investments accounted for at fair value. Equity investments accounted for using the measurement alternative For those investments over which the Group does not have significant influence and without readily determinable fair value, the Group records them at cost, less impairment, and plus or minus subsequent adjustments for observable price changes (referred to as the measurement alternative). Under this measurement alternative, changes in the carrying value of the equity investments are required to be made whenever there are observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Management regularly evaluates the impairment of these investments based on performance and financial position of the investee as well as other evidence of market value. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee’s cash position, recent financing, historical financial performance, financing needs, and industry environment. An impairment loss recognized equals to the excess of the investment cost over its fair value at the end of each reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of investment. Equity investments accounted for using the equity method The Group applies the equity method of accounting to account for equity investments and limited partnership in a private equity fund, according to ASC 323 Investment—Equity Method and Joint Ventures comprehensive Investments accounted for at fair value In accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments For investments in publicly traded companies with an intention of holding greater than one year, the Group carries the investments at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of these investments are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “Investment loss, net (including impairments)”. u) Taxation Income taxes Current income taxes are provided on the basis of income/(loss) for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are provided using the assets and liabilities method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more-likely-than-not Uncertain tax positions In order to assess uncertain tax positions, the Group applies a more-likely-than-not two-step two-step more-likely-than-not v) Revenue recognition Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Group identifies its contracts with customers and all performance obligations within those contracts. The Group then determines the transaction price and allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations within the Group’s contracts with customers, recognizing revenue when, or as, the Group satisfies its performance obligations. The Group’s revenue recognition policies effective upon the adoption of ASC 606 are as follows: Mobile game services Exclusively distributed mobile games For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the Group primarily generates revenues from the sale of in-game In accordance with ASC 606, the Group evaluates the contracts with its customers and determines that the Group has a single performance obligation which is to make the game and the ongoing game related services available to the paying players. The transaction price, which is the amount paid for in-game in-game point-in-time in-game The Group has estimated the average playing period of the paying players for each game, usually between one to ten months. The Group considers the average period that players typically play the games and other game player behavior patterns, as well as various other factors to arrive at the best estimates for the estimated playing period of the paying players. To compute the estimated average playing period for paying players, the Group considers the initial purchase date as the starting point of a paying player’s lifespan. The Group tracks populations of paying players who made their initial purchases during the interval period (the “Cohort”) and tracks each Cohort to understand the subsequent churn rate of the paying players of each Cohort, i.e. the number of paying players from each Cohort who left subsequent to their initial purchases (the “churn rate”). To determine the ending point of a paying player’s lifespan beyond the date for which observable data are available, the Group extrapolates the historical churn rate to arrive at an average playing period for paying players of the selected games. If a new game is launched and only a limited period of paying player data is available, then the Group considers the estimated average playing period of the Group’s other mobile games which has similar characteristics with the new game. When the Group believes it can reasonably estimate average playing period of new games based on newly available paying players information, the Group may prospectively apply the change of estimate. The Group applies portfolio approach in estimating the average playing period of the paying players for the recognition of mobile game revenue given that the effect of applying a portfolio approach to a group game players’ behavior would not differ materially from considering each one of them individually. In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-39, in-game in-game Proceeds earned from selling in-game Jointly operated mobile game distribution services The Group is also offering distribution services for mobile games developed by the third-party game developers. In accordance with ASC 606, the Group evaluates the contracts with the third-party game developers and identifies the performance obligations as distributing games and providing payment solution and market promotion service to the game developers. Accordingly, the Group earns service revenue by distributing them to the game players. In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-39, pre-determined virtual Valued added services (“VAS”) The Group offers premium membership, live broadcasting, comics and other paid contents to the customers. The Group offers premium membership services which provide subscribing members access to streaming of premium content in exchange for a non-refundable The Group operates and maintains live broadcasting channel whereby users can enjoy live performances provided by the hosts and interact with the hosts. Most of the hosts host the performance on their own. The Group creates and sells virtual items to users so that the users present them simultaneously to hosts to show their support. The virtual items sold by the Group comprise of either (i) consumable items or (ii) time-based items, such as privilege titles etc. Revenues derived from the sale of virtual items are recorded on a gross basis as the Group acts as the principal to fulfill all obligations related to the sale of virtual items in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-39. point-in-time Under the arrangements with the hosts, the Group shares with them a portion of the revenues derived from the sales of virtual items. The portion paid to hosts is recognized as “Cost of revenues” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Advertising services The Group provides various advertising formats, mainly include but not limited to advertisements appearing on the app opening page, banner text-links, logos, buttons and rich media, brand advertising, performance-based advertising and native advertisements which are customized according to advertisers’ needs. The Group determines each format of advertisements which is a distinct performance obligation. Consideration is allocated to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The Group recognizes revenue on a pro-rata Sales incentives to customers The Group provides various sales incentives to its customers, including cash incentives in the form of commissions to certain third-party advertising agencies and noncash incentives such as discounts and advertising services provided free of charge in certain bundled arrangements, which are negotiated on a contract-by-contract IP derivatives and others (formerly known as E-commerce IP derivatives and others are mainly from the sales of products through the Group’s e-commerce e-sports 606-10-55-39, 606-10-32-25. Net revenues presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss are net of sales discount and sales tax. Other Estimates and Judgments The Group estimates revenue of mobile game, VAS from the third-party payment processors in the current period when reasonable estimates of these amounts can be made. The processors provide reliable interim preliminary reporting within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month and the Group maintains records of sales data, both of which allow the Group to make reasonable estimates of revenue and therefore to recognize revenue during the reporting period. Determination of the appropriate amount of revenue recognized involves judgments and estimates that the Group believes are reasonable, but actual results may differ from the Group’s estimates. When the Group receives the final reports, to the extent not received within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, the Group records any differences between estimated revenue and actual revenue in the reporting period when the Group determines the actual amounts. The revenue on the final revenue report have not differed significantly from the reported revenue for the periods presented. Contract balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represent amounts invoiced, and revenue recognized prior to invoicing when the Group has satisfied its performance obligations and has the unconditional right to consideration. Deferred revenue relates to unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of each reporting period and consists of cash payment received in advance from game players in mobile games, from customers in advertising services, live broadcasting services and other VAS, and e-commerce Practical expedients The Group has used the following practical expedients as allowed under ASC 606: The transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, has not been disclosed, as substantially all of the contracts have an original expected duration of one year or less. The Group expenses the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the amortization period is one year or less. The following table presents the Group’s net revenues disaggregated by revenue sources: For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 2022 2023 RMB in thousands Mobile games 5,090,926 5,021,290 4,021,137 Value-added services 6,934,886 8,715,170 9,910,080 Advertising 4,523,421 5,066,212 6,412,040 IP derivatives and others (formerly known as E-commerce 2,834,451 3,096,495 2,184,730 Total net revenues 19,383,684 21,899,167 22,527,987 w) Cost of revenues Cost of revenues consists primarily of revenue sharing costs to mobile games developers and distribution channels and payment channels, revenue sharing with the hosts and content creators, staff costs, content costs, server and bandwidth service costs, depreciation expenses and other direct costs of providing these services as well as cost of merchandise sold. These costs are charged to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred. x) Related parties Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.

Concentrations and Risks a) Telecommunications service provider The Group relied on telecommunications service providers and their affiliates for servers and bandwidth services to support its operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 as follows: For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 2022 2023 RMB in thousands Total number of telecommunications service providers 126 153 116 Number of service providers providing 10% or more of the Group’s servers and bandwidth expenditure 3 3 2 Total percentage of the Group’s servers and bandwidth expenditure provided by 10% or greater service providers 55 % 45 % 23 % b) Foreign currency exchange rate risk The functional currency and the reporting currency of the Company are U.S. dollars and RMB, respectively. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily relates to cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, short-term and long-term investments, convertible senior notes and accounts payable denominated in the U.S. dollars. Most of the Group’s revenues, costs and expenses are denominated in RMB, while the convertible senior notes and a portion of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, short-term and long-term investments, and accounts payable are denominated in U.S. dollars. Any significant fluctuation of RMB against U.S. dollars may materially and adversely affect the Group’s cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial positions. c) Credit risk The Group’s financial instruments potentially subject to significant concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, restricted cash, accounts receivable, money market funds and financial products (recorded in the short-term and long-term investments) with variable interest rates referenced to performance of underlying assets issued by commercial banks and other financial institutions. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, substantially all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits were held in major financial institutions located in the United States of America and China, which management consider being of high credit quality. Accounts receivable is typically unsecured and is primarily derived from revenue earned from advertising, VAS and mobile game services (mainly relates to remittances due from payment channels and distribution channels). The following table presents distribution channel and customer that had receivable balance exceeding 10 % of the Group’s accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2022 and 2023.

Share options b) Valuation assumptions The Group uses binomial option pricing model to determine the fair value of share options. The estimated fair value of each share option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the binomial option-pricing model with the following assumptions: For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 2022 2023* Expected volatility 53.0%-53.5 % 57.6%-58.0 % N/A Weighted average volatility 53.2 % 57.9 % N/A Expected dividends — — N/A Risk-free rate 0.9%-1.4 % 2.7%-3.6 % N/A Contractual term (in years) 6-7 6-7 N/A * No Effective Date The expected volatility at each grant date was estimated based on the annualized standard deviation of the daily return embedded in historical share prices of comparable peer companies with a time horizon close to the expected expiry of the term of the share options. The weighted average volatility is the expected volatility at the grant date weighted by the number of the share options. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital stock, and the Company does not anticipate any dividend payments in the foreseeable future. Contractual term is the remaining contract life of the share options. The Group estimated the risk-free interest rate based on the yield to maturity of U.S. treasury bonds denominated in US dollars at the share option grant date.

However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and the Group’s view of these matters may change in the future. The Group records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Group reviews the need for any such liability on a regular basis. The Group has not recorded material liabilities in this regard as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. |

Fair Value Measurement | |
Fair Value Measurement | 2 2 Fair Value Measurement When available, the Group uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Group will measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates. The Group measures investments in money market funds, financial products and equity investments in publicly traded companies at fair value. Equity investments in publicly traded companies Financial products Accounts receivable, amounts due from/to related parties and other current assets are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term loan and other payables are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The Group measures equity investments accounted for using the equity method at fair value on a non-recurring As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, certain equity investments without determinable fair value (Note 9) were measured using unobservable inputs (Level 3) and written down from their respective carrying value to fair value, with impairment charges of RMB465.6 million and RMB278.9 million incurred and recorded in “Investment loss, net (including impairments)” for the years then ended. |

Significant Accounting Polici_2
Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2023 | |
Basis of presentation | a) Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below. |
Principles of consolidation | b) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs (inclusive of the VIEs’ subsidiaries) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power, has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors, or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. A consolidated VIE is an entity in which the Company’s subsidiary, through contractual arrangements, has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, bears the risks of and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore the Company’s subsidiary is the primary beneficiary of the entity. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs (inclusive of the VIEs’ subsidiaries) have been eliminated upon consolidation. There is no VIE in the Group where the Company or any subsidiary |
Use of estimates | c) Use of estimates The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with the U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date and reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates include, but are not limited to, determination of the average playing period for paying players, and assessment for the impairment of long-term investments accounted for using the measurement alternative. |
Functional currency and foreign currency translation | d) Functional currency and foreign currency translation The Group uses Renminbi (“RMB”) as its reporting currency. The Company and several of its overseas subsidiaries use US$ or their respective local currencies as their functional currency. The functional currency of the Group’s PRC entities is RMB. In the consolidated financial statements, the financial information of the Company and other entities located outside of the PRC have been translated into RMB. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date, equity amounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as foreign currency translation adjustments, and are shown as a component of other comprehensive (loss)/income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in exchange losses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Convenience Translation | e) Convenience Translation Translations of balances on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of cash flows from RMB into US$ as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB7.0999, representing the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on December 29, 2023. No representation is made that the RMB amounts represent or could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at such rate. |
Fair value measurements | f) Fair value measurements Financial instruments Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: a. Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. b. Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical asset or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. c. Level 3 applies to asset or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Group’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits, accounts receivable, other receivables, amounts due from/to related parties, short-term investments, accounts payable, short-term loan, accrual liabilities and other payables of which the carrying values approximate their fair values. Please see Note 22 for additional information. |
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits | g) Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits Cash and cash equivalents mainly represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with large reputable banks in the United States of America and China, and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and with original maturities from the date of purchase with terms of three months or less. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, there were cash on hand and demand deposits with terms less than three months denominated in U.S. dollars amounting to approximately US$ As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Group had approximately RMB4,414.9 million and RMB5,632.1 million cash and cash equivalents held by its PRC subsidiaries and the VIEs, representing 43% and 78% of total cash and cash equivalents of the Group, respectively. Time deposits represent deposits placed with banks with original maturities more than three months but less than one year. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, there were time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars amounting to approximately US$684.6 million, and US$733.5 million, respectively (equivalent to approximately RMB4,768.0 million and RMB5,194.9 million, respectively). The Group had no other lien arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or for use or pledged as security is reported separately on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the restricted cash balance was RMB14.8 million and RMB50.0 million. |
Receivables, net | h) Receivables, net The Group’s accounts receivable, amount due from related parties and other receivables recorded in prepayments and other current assets are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from advertising customers, and receivables from distribution channels. To estimate expected credit losses, the Group has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables and other receivables which include size, type of the services or the products the Group provides, or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools. For each pool, the Group considers the past collection experience, current economic conditions, future economic conditions (external data and macroeconomic factors) and changes in the Group’s customer collection trends. This is assessed at each quarter based on the Group’s specific facts and circumstances. No significant impact of changes in the assumptions since adoption. The Group recorded a provision for current expected credit losses For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 2022 2023 RMB in thousands Beginning balance 121,003 292,473 305,535 Provisions/(Reversal) 189,165 130,549 (16,000 ) Write-offs (17,695 ) (117,487 ) (70,334 ) Ending balance 292,473 305,535 219,201 |
Inventories, net | i) Inventories, net Inventories, mainly represent products for the Group’s e-commerce |
Property and equipment, net | j) Property and equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets loss. |
Intangible assets, net | k) Intangible assets, net Intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions are recognized as assets separate from goodwill if they satisfy either the “contractual-legal” or “separability” criterion. Purchased intangible assets are initially recognized and measured at fair value. Major identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method as follows: Licensed copyrights of content shorter of the licensed period or projected useful life of the content, mainly vary from 1 to 10 years License rights of mobile games shorter of the licensed period or projected useful life of mobile games, mainly vary from 1 to 3 years Intellectual property and others 1 - If expectations of the usefulness of the content are revised downward, the unamortized cost is written down to the fair value, which establishes a new cost basis. |
Goodwill | l) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired entity as a result of the Company’s acquisitions of interests in its subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs. Goodwill is not depreciated or amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis, and between annual tests when an event or circumstances change occurs that indicate the asset might be impaired. Under ASC 350-20-35, The Group, therefore, chooses the quantitative assessment directly and performs the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with it carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The estimated fair value of reporting unit is determined using either an income approach or a market approach, when appropriate. The judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. The Group as a whole is determined to be one reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing. The Group applied the quantitative assessment and performed the goodwill impairment test by quantitatively comparing the fair values of the reporting unit to it carrying amounts. The Group determines the fair value of the reporting unit based on its quoted stock price, and no impairment charge was recognized for any of the periods presented |
Impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill | m) Impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than the Group had originally estimated. When these events occur, the Group evaluates the impairment for the long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value of the assets to an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the fair value of the assets. |
Research and development expenses | n) Research and development expenses Research and development expenses mainly consist of payroll-related expenses incurred for the innovation of video function, development and enhancement to the Group’s websites, platforms of applications, development of online games and the termination of certain game projects. For internal use software, the Group expenses all costs incurred for the preliminary project stage and post implementation-operation stage of development, and costs associated with repair or maintenance of the existing platforms. Costs incurred in the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life. Since the amount of the Group’s research and development expenses qualifying for capitalization has been immaterial, as a result, all development costs incurred for development of internal used software have been expensed as incurred. For external use software, costs incurred for development of external use software have not been capitalized since the inception of the Group, because the period after the date technical feasibility is reached and the time when the software is marketed is short historically, and the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been immaterial. |
Leases | q) Leases The Group recognizes the right-of-use s The Group elected to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less, and to not separate non-lease Right-of-use The Group leases office space under non-cancelable 2026 December 31, 2023 RMB in thousands 2024 201,694 2025 180,547 2026 121,161 2027 80 Total future lease payments 503,482 Impact of discounting remaining lease payments (30,027 ) Total lease liabilities 473,455 Operating lease cost for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 was RMB177.4 million, RMB275.1 million and RMB million, respectively, which excluded cost of short-term contracts. Short-term lease cost for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 was immaterial. Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases was as follows: For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 2022 2023 RMB in thousands Cash payments for operating leases 161,997 200,376 206,518 Right-of-use 152,481 467,765 (60,910 ) |
Share-based compensation | r) Share-based compensation Share based compensation expenses arise from share-based awards, including share options and restricted share units(“RSUs”) for the purchase of the Company’s ordinary shares. The Group accounts for share-based awards granted to employees in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation For share options for the purchase of ordinary shares granted to employees determined to be equity classified awards, the related share-based compensation expenses are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values which are calculated using the binomial option pricing model. The determination of the fair value is affected by the share price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including the expected share price volatility, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. The Group recognizes the estimated compensation cost of restricted share units based on the fair value of its ordinary shares on the date of the grant. The Group recognizes the compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, over a vesting term for service-based RSUs. For share-based awards granted with service conditions only |
Employee benefits | s) Employee benefits PRC Contribution Plan Full time employees of the Group in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to the employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries and VIEs of the Group make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government. The Group has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. |
Investments | t) Investments Short-term investments Short-term investments primarily include financial products with variable interest rates referenced to performance of underlying assets issued by commercial banks or other financial institutions and investments in publicly traded companies with the intention to be sold within twelve months. In accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments For investments in publicly traded companies, the Group carries the investments at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of these investments are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “Investment loss, net (including impairments)”. Long-term investments, net The Group’s long-term investments primarily consist of equity investments accounted for using the measurement alternative, equity investments accounted for using the equity method and other investments accounted for at fair value. Equity investments accounted for using the measurement alternative For those investments over which the Group does not have significant influence and without readily determinable fair value, the Group records them at cost, less impairment, and plus or minus subsequent adjustments for observable price changes (referred to as the measurement alternative). Under this measurement alternative, changes in the carrying value of the equity investments are required to be made whenever there are observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Management regularly evaluates the impairment of these investments based on performance and financial position of the investee as well as other evidence of market value. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee’s cash position, recent financing, historical financial performance, financing needs, and industry environment. An impairment loss recognized equals to the excess of the investment cost over its fair value at the end of each reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of investment. Equity investments accounted for using the equity method The Group applies the equity method of accounting to account for equity investments and limited partnership in a private equity fund, according to ASC 323 Investment—Equity Method and Joint Ventures comprehensive Investments accounted for at fair value In accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments For investments in publicly traded companies with an intention of holding greater than one year, the Group carries the investments at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of these investments are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “Investment loss, net (including impairments)”. |
Taxation | u) Taxation Income taxes Current income taxes are provided on the basis of income/(loss) for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are provided using the assets and liabilities method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more-likely-than-not Uncertain tax positions In order to assess uncertain tax positions, the Group applies a more-likely-than-not two-step two-step more-likely-than-not |
Revenue recognition | v) Revenue recognition Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Group identifies its contracts with customers and all performance obligations within those contracts. The Group then determines the transaction price and allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations within the Group’s contracts with customers, recognizing revenue when, or as, the Group satisfies its performance obligations. The Group’s revenue recognition policies effective upon the adoption of ASC 606 are as follows: Mobile game services Exclusively distributed mobile games For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the Group primarily generates revenues from the sale of in-game In accordance with ASC 606, the Group evaluates the contracts with its customers and determines that the Group has a single performance obligation which is to make the game and the ongoing game related services available to the paying players. The transaction price, which is the amount paid for in-game in-game point-in-time in-game The Group has estimated the average playing period of the paying players for each game, usually between one to ten months. The Group considers the average period that players typically play the games and other game player behavior patterns, as well as various other factors to arrive at the best estimates for the estimated playing period of the paying players. To compute the estimated average playing period for paying players, the Group considers the initial purchase date as the starting point of a paying player’s lifespan. The Group tracks populations of paying players who made their initial purchases during the interval period (the “Cohort”) and tracks each Cohort to understand the subsequent churn rate of the paying players of each Cohort, i.e. the number of paying players from each Cohort who left subsequent to their initial purchases (the “churn rate”). To determine the ending point of a paying player’s lifespan beyond the date for which observable data are available, the Group extrapolates the historical churn rate to arrive at an average playing period for paying players of the selected games. If a new game is launched and only a limited period of paying player data is available, then the Group considers the estimated average playing period of the Group’s other mobile games which has similar characteristics with the new game. When the Group believes it can reasonably estimate average playing period of new games based on newly available paying players information, the Group may prospectively apply the change of estimate. The Group applies portfolio approach in estimating the average playing period of the paying players for the recognition of mobile game revenue given that the effect of applying a portfolio approach to a group game players’ behavior would not differ materially from considering each one of them individually. In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-39, in-game in-game Proceeds earned from selling in-game Jointly operated mobile game distribution services The Group is also offering distribution services for mobile games developed by the third-party game developers. In accordance with ASC 606, the Group evaluates the contracts with the third-party game developers and identifies the performance obligations as distributing games and providing payment solution and market promotion service to the game developers. Accordingly, the Group earns service revenue by distributing them to the game players. In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-39, pre-determined virtual Valued added services (“VAS”) The Group offers premium membership, live broadcasting, comics and other paid contents to the customers. The Group offers premium membership services which provide subscribing members access to streaming of premium content in exchange for a non-refundable The Group operates and maintains live broadcasting channel whereby users can enjoy live performances provided by the hosts and interact with the hosts. Most of the hosts host the performance on their own. The Group creates and sells virtual items to users so that the users present them simultaneously to hosts to show their support. The virtual items sold by the Group comprise of either (i) consumable items or (ii) time-based items, such as privilege titles etc. Revenues derived from the sale of virtual items are recorded on a gross basis as the Group acts as the principal to fulfill all obligations related to the sale of virtual items in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-39. point-in-time Under the arrangements with the hosts, the Group shares with them a portion of the revenues derived from the sales of virtual items. The portion paid to hosts is recognized as “Cost of revenues” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Advertising services The Group provides various advertising formats, mainly include but not limited to advertisements appearing on the app opening page, banner text-links, logos, buttons and rich media, brand advertising, performance-based advertising and native advertisements which are customized according to advertisers’ needs. The Group determines each format of advertisements which is a distinct performance obligation. Consideration is allocated to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The Group recognizes revenue on a pro-rata Sales incentives to customers The Group provides various sales incentives to its customers, including cash incentives in the form of commissions to certain third-party advertising agencies and noncash incentives such as discounts and advertising services provided free of charge in certain bundled arrangements, which are negotiated on a contract-by-contract IP derivatives and others (formerly known as E-commerce IP derivatives and others are mainly from the sales of products through the Group’s e-commerce e-sports 606-10-55-39, 606-10-32-25. Net revenues presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss are net of sales discount and sales tax. Other Estimates and Judgments The Group estimates revenue of mobile game, VAS from the third-party payment processors in the current period when reasonable estimates of these amounts can be made. The processors provide reliable interim preliminary reporting within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month and the Group maintains records of sales data, both of which allow the Group to make reasonable estimates of revenue and therefore to recognize revenue during the reporting period. Determination of the appropriate amount of revenue recognized involves judgments and estimates that the Group believes are reasonable, but actual results may differ from the Group’s estimates. When the Group receives the final reports, to the extent not received within a reasonable time frame following the end of each month, the Group records any differences between estimated revenue and actual revenue in the reporting period when the Group determines the actual amounts. The revenue on the final revenue report have not differed significantly from the reported revenue for the periods presented. Contract balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represent amounts invoiced, and revenue recognized prior to invoicing when the Group has satisfied its performance obligations and has the unconditional right to consideration. Deferred revenue relates to unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of each reporting period and consists of cash payment received in advance from game players in mobile games, from customers in advertising services, live broadcasting services and other VAS, and e-commerce Practical expedients The Group has used the following practical expedients as allowed under ASC 606: The transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, has not been disclosed, as substantially all of the contracts have an original expected duration of one year or less. The Group expenses the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the amortization period is one year or less.
