DouYu International Holdings Limited Reports Second Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results

WUHAN, China, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DouYu International Holdings Limited (“DouYu” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DOYU), a leading game-centric live streaming platform in China and a pioneer in the eSports value chain, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

  • Total net revenues in the second quarter of 2025 were RMB1,053.9 million (US$147.1 million), an increase of 2.1% from RMB1,032.0 million in the same period of 2024.
  • Gross profit in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB141.9 million (US$19.8 million), an increase of 68.5% from RMB84.2 million in the same period of 2024.
  • Income from operations in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB14.2 million (US$2.0 million), compared with a loss from operations of RMB119.6 million in the same period of 2024.
  • Net income in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB37.8 million (US$5.3 million), compared with a net loss of RMB49.2 million in the same period of 2024.
  • Adjusted net income (non-GAAP)[1] in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB25.3 million (US$3.5 million), compared with an adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) of RMB45.5 million in the same period of 2024.

Ms. Simin Ren, Co-Chief Executive Officer of DouYu, commented, “Against the backdrop of a volatile macro environment and intensifying industry competition, we remained focused on advancing our revenue diversification and cost efficiency strategies. During the quarter, we continued to optimize our live-streaming business, while also advancing monetization of our innovative business lines through expanded industry collaborations and upgraded promotion strategies. Seasonal promotions drove a 24.5% quarter-over-quarter increase in revenue from our Innovative business, advertising and others segment, underscoring our strong execution. Looking ahead, we will continue to enhance user experience and optimize cost efficiency as we navigate the evolving macro conditions. We remain dedicated to offering premium products such as gaming tournaments and entertainment events, while ensuring the sustainable development of our platform and content ecosystem.”

Mr. Hao Cao, Vice President of DouYu, commented, “In the second quarter, our game membership program and voice-based social networking business continued to demonstrate healthy momentum, further diversifying our revenue structure. Revenues from Innovative businesses, advertising and others rose to RMB476.1 million and accounted for 45.2% of total revenue, compared with 23.4% in the same period last year. In addition, total revenue for the quarter grew 2.1% year-over-year to RMB1.05 billion. Our effective cost efficiency initiatives also drove a return to profitability for the quarter, with gross margin expanding to 13.5%. Net profit reached RMB37.8 million and adjusted net profit was RMB25.3 million, marking a meaningful turnaround. While we expect the livestreaming industry to grow more complex and volatile in the second half of the year, we are well prepared and will continue executing our strategies with discipline and consistency to address the challenges ahead.”

Second Quarter 2025 Operational Highlights

In the second quarter, average mobile MAUs[2] of our livestreaming-related business were 36.4 million, down 11.4% year-over-year, which aligns with our content cost optimization strategy. This decline was largely due to fewer official tournament broadcasts and a reduction in related derivative content offerings on the platform.

  • In the second quarter, the number of quarterly average paying users[3] for livestreaming-related business was 2.8 million, with a quarterly ARPPU of RMB255. Compared with 2.9 million paying users in the first quarter, the slight sequential decline in paying users was mainly due to sustained weakness in consumer spending amid prevailing macro conditions, as well as adjustments in our operational strategies, including the scaling back of low-ROI operational activities and a reduction in content offerings.
  • In the second quarter, revenues from our voice-based social networking business reached RMB295.8 million. We continued to refine our application products and optimize traffic distribution strategies, maintaining a consistent revenue performance sequentially. Our average MAUs for voice-based social networking business for the second quarter were 462,800, with monthly average paying users[4] of 81,000.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total net revenues in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 2.1% to RMB1053.9 million (US$147.1 million), compared with RMB1,032.0 million in the same period of 2024.

Livestreaming revenues in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 26.9% to RMB577.8 million (US$80.7 million) from RMB790.1 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in both the number of total paying users and average revenue per paying user, as a result of fewer low-ROI operating activities and content offered in the quarter and continued moderation in the operating environment.

Innovative business, advertising and other revenues (formerly known as advertising and other revenues) in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 96.8% to RMB476.1 million (US$66.5 million) from RMB242.0 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues from our voice-based social networking service and game membership service.

Cost of revenues in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 3.8% to RMB912.0 million (US$127.3 million) from RMB947.8 million in the same period of 2024.

Revenue-sharing fees and content costs in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 9.5% to RMB727.3 million (US$101.5 million) from RMB803.4 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a significant reduction in content costs as part of our cost structure optimization efforts, as well as a decrease in revenue-sharing fees due to lower livestreaming revenues. The decrease was partially offset by increased revenue-sharing fees related to revenue growth in our voice-based social networking service.

Bandwidth costs in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 38.9% to RMB48.6 million (US$6.8 million) from RMB79.6 million in the same period of 2024. The decline was primarily due to our bandwidth allocation advancement and a year-over-year decrease in peak bandwidth usage.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 68.5% to RMB141.9 million (US$19.8 million) from RMB84.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by decreases in our content costs and bandwidth costs. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2025 was 13.5%, compared with 8.2% in the same period of 2024.

Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 20.0% to RMB61.6 million (US$8.6 million) from RMB77.0 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to reductions in staff-related and promotion-related expenses.

Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 44.9% to RMB27.6 million (US$3.9 million) from RMB50.1 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in staff-related expenses.

General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 17.9% to RMB39.8 million (US$5.6 million) from RMB48.5 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to reductions in staff-related expenses and professional fees.

Income from operations in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB14.2 million (US$2.0 million), compared with a loss from operations of RMB119.6 million in the same period of 2024.

Net income in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB37.8 million (US$5.3 million), compared with a net loss of RMB49.2 million in the same period of 2024.

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP), which excludes net income excluding share of loss in equity method investments and impairment losses and fair value adjustments on investments, was RMB25.3 million (US$3.5 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared with an adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) of RMB45.5 million in the same period of 2024.

Basic and diluted net income per ADS[5] in the second quarter of 2025 were both RMB1.25 (US$0.17).

Adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS (non-GAAP) in the second quarter of 2025 were both RMB0.84 (US$0.12).

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and bank deposits

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, restricted cash in other non-current assets, and short-term and long-term bank deposits of RMB2,311.2 million (US$322.6 million), compared with RMB4,467.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a special cash dividend distribution of US$300 million in February 2025.

[1] “Adjusted net income (non-GAAP)” is defined as net income excluding share of income (loss) in equity method investments, impairment losses and fair value adjustments on investments, and impairment losses of goodwill and intangible assets.

BEIJING, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Baidu Wenku and Netdisk, Baidu’s AI-powered productivity apps, have introduced GenFlow 2.0, a general AI agent featuring more than 100 parallel agents working in collaboration and real-time pause-and-intervene control. Since its debut, GenFlow 2.0 has gained rapid traction with its innovative architecture.

Baidu Wenku and Netdisk Launch GenFlow 2.0, Deploying Over 100 AI Agents Simultaneously

Built on Baidu Wenku’s proprietary Multi-Agent Parallel Architecture, GenFlow 2.0 cuts complex task processing from hours to under three minutes by orchestrating more than 100 AI agents simultaneously — delivering unmatched speed and scalability compared with current solutions. Tasks such as drafting a full marketing campaign, designing accompanying visuals, and preparing a conference presentation can now be completed in a single, continuous workflow in minutes.

Unlike most AI agents that operate as black boxes where users only see inputs and final outputs, GenFlow 2.0 gives users full control during execution — allowing tasks to be paused at any stage, instructions modified, and results edited — providing a highly transparent and controllable human-AI collaboration experience.

To ensure accuracy and depth, GenFlow 2.0 autonomously accesses Baidu Scholar’s 680 million peer-reviewed academic publications, Baidu Wenku’s 1.4 billion professional documents, and user-approved Baidu Netdisk files. Combined with the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and multi-agent cross-validation, GenFlow 2.0 reduces hallucinations and delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability.

GenFlow 2.0 supports an expansive range of multimodal outputs, including copywriting, visual design, slide creation, research report generation, animation production, and coding. Baidu Wenku’s 97 million monthly active AI users—home to the world’s largest AI-powered PPT user base—demonstrate the platform’s proven execution stability and output quality.

Now fully integrated into Baidu Wenku and Baidu Netdisk, which serve over one billion users, GenFlow 2.0 is also MCP-compatible and natively embedded at the OS level on leading Chinese smartphone brand HONOR — enabling seamless access across devices.

While foundation model capabilities are important, long-term leadership will increasingly rely on engineering execution and product innovation. GenFlow 2.0 stands out with rapid product iteration, deep localization, and precise market alignment, enabled by its multi-agent architecture and uniquely controllable interaction model.

Flipster Unveils the First Zero-Spread Model in Crypto Perpetuals Trading

Eliminates the hidden price gap costing traders more than they realize

PANAMA CITY, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Flipster, a fast-growing crypto perpetuals trading platform, has unveiled the industry’s first true zero-spread trading model, making it the first crypto exchange to eliminate the hidden price gap, known as the spread, that quietly drains trader profits.

Flipster Unveils the First Zero-Spread Model in Crypto Perpetuals Trading
Flipster Unveils the First Zero-Spread Model in Crypto Perpetuals Trading

With this structural shift, Flipster becomes the first exchange to offer one price execution with no markup on major perpetual pairs — delivering a new level of pricing transparency on perpetual trading that no other crypto exchange has offered.

Hidden Costs Most Traders Miss

Most exchanges charge a visible trading fee on every order. But what many traders don’t realize is that these posted fees are just part of the real cost. The bigger and often overlooked cost is the spread: the hidden gap between the price to go long and the price to go short.

When traders open a position, they cross that gap. When they close it, they cross it again. This creates a built-in round-trip cost that isn’t displayed upfront, yet quietly chips away at returns on every trade.

It adds up fast, especially for active, high-frequency or high-volume traders. In many cases, the spread can cost more than the trading fee itself.

For example, a trader placing a $100,000 trade may pay a visible fee of $50 at a 5 basis point rate. But if there’s also a 2 basis point spread, that’s another $40 in hidden cost just from entering and exiting the position. Add slippage, and the total cost can easily end up being two to three times higher than the posted fee.

Flipster eliminates this invisible markup by offering zero spreads on major pairs, fundamentally redefining how liquidity and execution are structured. It means quoting a single unified price rather than a split bid/ask, something most exchanges simply are not built to do.

Security That Matches Performance

Flipster is built with the same high-grade protection used by leading global financial institutions. The platform is ISO 27001 certified, adheres to internationally recognized security standards, and deploys multi-layer safeguards to protect user assets. Wallet security is reinforced with technology that removes single points of failure, while its 24/7 monitoring systems detect and neutralize threats in real time. With security embedded in every layer, Flipster ensures that assets remain protected through all market conditions.

The Only Exchange with Zero Spread and Active Yield

What you see is what you trade.

Zero spread on 20+ Major Perpetual Pairs. Traders access one unified market price. No markup. No hidden slippage.

Earn while you trade.

Locked or flexible, capital works without interruption. Flipster is the only exchange that lets traders earn and trade at the same time.

About Flipster

Flipster is the zero-friction exchange for crypto traders who demand the ultimate perpetual trading experience. With ultra-tight spreads, balances that earn while trading, and up to 100x leverage, it delivers precision and performance for those who move fast and trade faster. In 2024 alone, Flipster’s trading volume grew 856% year-on-year, solidifying its position as one of the fastest-growing crypto perpetuals trading platforms. Learn more at flipster.io or follow X.
