Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenues

Our revenues were US$90.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a 12.2% increase from US$80.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by our broadening user base and enhanced monetization capability. Our average MAUs increased by 14.4% to 41.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 from 36.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Our solid revenue growth was also partially attributable to the substantial increase in the number of paying users, which grew to 12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 from 11.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, our revenues generated from chatting services were US$59.8 million, and revenues from games services were US$30.8 million.

Costs and expenses

Our cost of revenues was US$31.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a 1.5% increase from US$30.6 million in the same period last year, primarily due to higher commission fees paid to third-party payment platforms as a result of increasing revenues generated, partially offset by a decrease in game art design service fees.

Our technology and product development expenses were US$9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a 69.6% increase from US$5.4 million in the same period of last year, primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits for our technology and product development staff, driven by an increase in the headcount of our technology and product development staff to support the development of new businesses and expansion of our product portfolio. Technology and product development expenses as a percentage of our total revenues increased to 10.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024 from 6.7% in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents non-GAAP financial measures, namely non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net margin and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company’s operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define non-GAAP operating income as operating income excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP net income as net income excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP net margin as non-GAAP net income as a percentage of revenues. We define non-GAAP net income attributable to Yalla Group Limited’s shareholders as net income attributable to Yalla Group Limited’s shareholders, excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP earnings per ordinary share as non-GAAP net income attributable to Yalla Group Limited’s shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding.

By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. Investors can better understand the Company’s operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess its core operating results, as they exclude share-based compensation expenses, which are not expected to result in cash payments. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation has been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of its non-GAAP financial measures in the reconciliations to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results are set forth at the end of this press release.

Magcubic Disrupts the Smart Projector Market with Affordable Products for Everyone

BEIJING, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Smart projectors can transform virtually any wall into a smart display, but their expensive price tags make them unrealistic for most buyers. Magcubic set out to revolutionize the projector market with the HY300 Pro in 2024, and now we’re back with the expanded HY300 lineup – led by the brand new HY300 Pro+, HY300 Ultra, and HY310 – that offers premium-quality hardware and an exceptional user experience in a series of ultra-affordable projectors.

Magcubic was created to challenge the status quo of conventional smart projectors. We started with a mission to make big-screen experiences accessible to a wider range of users, and we followed that by releasing a lineup of full-featured projectors that deliver a cinematic experience once priced at $1,000—now available for less than $100. Today, we’ve shipped 2 million units worldwide, an industry milestone that was once impossible on a global scale.

Unveiled in Beijing on March 9th with 100+ Chinese media outlets in attendance, the new HY300 series is available today in three versions, starting with the HY300 Pro, an entry-level projector designed with affordability and ease-of-use in mind. Next is the HY300 Pro+, an upgraded version featuring enhanced performance and an integrated speaker base for better audio playback. Third is the HY300 Ultra, an even more enhanced variant with electric focus, ensuring effortless image clarity. 

Alongside the expanded HY300 range is a brand new next-generation model called the HY310. This projector was crafted from the ground up to encompass a range of features designed to thrill cinema enthusiasts, including clear 1080p resolution with 4K decoding for crisp video performance, auto focus with auto keystone correction that ensures a sharp image every time the projector powers on, 260 ANSI lumens with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio for a bright picture that’s viewable in various lighting conditions, Air Mouse remote and voice controls for easy navigation, and built-in support for 1M+ apps, services, and entertainment options so that viewers always have something to watch.

The secret to keeping our ecosystem of high-quality projectors affordable – even with so many premium features packed inside – is our LCD technology, which uses liquid crystals that are electronically modulated in combination with polarizers to project images on a surface. While competitors choose pricey LEDs to prop up their products, Magcubic prioritizes proven liquid crystal display bulbs that produce premium visuals without inflating costs. To further drive down the price of our smart projectors, Magcubic’s proprietary manufacturing process is so efficient and effective that we’ve lowered our expenses by a whopping 80%. The end result is an entire series of premium smart projectors that rival more expensive DLP models at just a fraction of the typical price.

“We are redefining value by creating a unique convergence where spending less meets living better,” said Chen Yueyun, the General Manager of Magcubic. 

Today, Magcubic operates in 153 countries worldwide, with a growing presence in the United States. Driven by a product ecosystem that maximizes affordability while emphasizing quality and user experience, Magcubic believes that smart projectors will move beyond the niche market and become household commodities with the potential to surpass smart TVs.

ABOUT MAGCUBIC

Magcubic was founded by tech and home entertainment experts on a mission to bring big-screen experiences worldwide. Seeing the need for smart projectors that are well-made and affordable, we set out to disrupt the industry. Through premium materials and innovative manufacturing, we deliver high-quality products that save consumers money and delight users.

Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals Announced First Participant Dosed in the US Phase 2 Clinical Study of Bofanglutide (GZR18) Injection for Overweight or Obesity

BEIJING and BRIDGEWATER, N.J., March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals (Gan & Lee, Shanghai Stock Exchange: 603087) announced that the first participant has been successfully dosed in a Phase 2 clinical trial of bofanglutide (research code: GZR18) injection, a bi-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) independently developed by Gan & Lee, in the US participants with overweight or obesity. Notably, bofanglutide is the first GLP-1 receptor mono-agonist to undergo a head-to-head comparison with tirzepatide for evaluating the efficacy in body weight management globally.

This Phase 2 clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT06737042) was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bofanglutide injection in US adults with overweight or obesity. The study plans to enroll 285 subjects, who will be randomized to receive either 24 mg, 36 mg, or 48 mg of bofanglutide bi-weekly, 15 mg of tirzepatide once-weekly, or placebo. The primary endpoint is the percentage change in body weight from baseline at the end of the treatment.

Previously, a Phase 1 study (NCT06548997) of bofanglutide injection demonstrated good safety and tolerability in US subjects, along with promising glucose-lowering and weight-loss potential[1]. The initiation of head-to-head clinical study for bofanglutide versus tirzepatide, marking a new phase in Gan & Lee’s GLP-1 innovation.

About Bofanglutide (GZR18)

Bofanglutide (R&D Code: GZR18) injection, developed by Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals, is a bi-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA) indicated for glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes and body weight management in overweight/obese individuals. As the potential first bi-weekly GLP-1 RA in the world, early clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy in weight reduction comparable to or superior to marketed counterparts, with a safety and tolerability profile consistent with the established class of GLP-1 RAs, and significant reductions in both blood glucose levels and body weight.

In China’s 2024 National Insulin-Specific Centralized Procurement, Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals ranked first among all selected companies in terms of procurement demand for insulin analogs. The company is also making strides in international markets, with the disposable pen needle (GanleeFine) approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2020 and received GMP inspection approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2024. These achievements significantly boost Gan & Lee’s competitiveness in both international and domestic markets®.

In the future, Gan & Lee will strive for comprehensive coverage in diabetes treatment. Moving forward with its mission to become a world-class pharmaceutical company, Gan & Lee will also actively develop new chemical entities and biological drugs, focusing on treatments for metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and other therapeutic areas.
