Tao Yang (Chairman and CEO)

Thank you, everyone, for joining our Q2 2023 earnings conference call. We delivered robust performance this quarter, growing both our top and bottom line. Despite the impact of the Ramadan holiday, our Q2 revenue reached $79.2 million, showing quarter-over-quarter growth of 7.8%. This exceeds the upper end of our guidance by 5.7%, manifesting the popularity of our products. Our continued efforts to drive quality growth and enhance our operating efficiency are also paying off. In Q2, our non-GAAP net margin reached 42.6%. Our robust quarterly performance showcases our dedication and ability to successfully refine our operations, enhance the gamification of our flagship applications, and optimize our user acquisition strategies. All of this holistically elevated the experience for our users, further boosting Yalla and Yalla Ludo users' willingness to stay and pay on our app.

As we discussed on our last call, 2023 has been a year of growth and development. We are witnessing a rapid digital transformation in the Middle East. The momentum we are seeing is arising from the recognition that the region's market opportunity may be strategically significant for global internet giants, as well as robust support from local MENA governments, who are determined to build local industries. They are dedicated to fostering collaboration with various nations worldwide, actively participating in local ventures to drive global investment to domestic industries, and increasing investment in disruptive products overseas to create future strategic opportunities. As the largest MENA-based online social networking and gaming company, Yalla is committed to facilitating this change in the MENA market, and we are glad to see more conversations taking place.

As we discussed last quarter, external collaborations are an important component of our going forward growth strategy. We're happy to share our experiences and localization competitive with more industry peers who are interested in exploring the MENA market. Our goal is to secure mutually beneficial collaborations that expand businesses in our dynamic market, where we see great potential in working together. Next, I'd like to share some important updates on Yalla Game's recent development. We're happy to report that Merge Kingdoms has been officially launched across MENA and is now available on both the App Store and Google Play. Merge Kingdoms is a strategy game that takes players on a fun journey through an Arabian-themed landscape. It brings world of Arabian folklore to life with stunning visuals, rich landscapes, and beautiful Middle Eastern music. The integration of Yalla's unique voice chat engine enhances the game's real-time strategy elements.

Merge Kingdoms is the first hardcore game to collaborate with Yalla Group on distribution. The game is being promoted on the home pages of both the App Store and Google Play for free, and was ranked as the number 2 downloaded game in Saudi Arabia on iOS after its launch. We plan to gradually increase our investment in user acquisition in the next couple of months to increase the game's reach. In terms of Yalla's first self-developed hardcore game, Age of Legends, the team has been working on a new game in iteration. As a first step, Age of Legends was first launched in Turkey, and at the beginning of August, we successfully launched the Arabic version across Gulf countries. The game was the number 1 downloaded game in the role-play game category on iOS in both UAE and Saudi Arabia.

We will continue to monitor Age of Legends operating and financial performances, and we look forward to sharing more details with you on our next earnings call. The establishment of Yalla Game is an important strategic move for us. We will keep exploring opportunities in mid-core and hardcore games. For the two hardcore games we just launched, we will continue to work on future iterations to gain regional traction. We will also continue to expand our pipeline of games through both self-development and external distribution collaboration. We look forward to building our mid-core and hardcore game portfolios, and expect these to serve as important growth drivers going forward. Our vision is for Yalla to become the largest online social networking and entertainment company in MENA. We have high aspirations in this region, and the whole team has been working tirelessly to achieve this goal.

We are exploring many of possibilities and identifying how we can better serve MENA users' evolving needs for online services. Our strong cash flow and solid cash position are well suited to support this journey. Digital transformation in the Middle East is foreseeable, and the next three to five years will be a crucial period of development. We are confident in our ability to capture growth opportunities in this promising and growing market. We will continue to enhance our investment in research and development, and further explore new business opportunities, while we work with potential partners from around the world to generate more global participation in MENA's exciting future of digital transformation. Now, I will turn this call over to our President, Mr. Saifi Ismail, for a closer look at our recent development.

Saifi Ismail (President)

Hello, everyone. Thanks for joining us today. Let's take a closer look at our Quarter two operations and the performance of our products. We are pleased to deliver robust Quarter two results. Our monthly active users increased by 14.3 year-over-year, reaching 34.2 million. In Quarter two, we rolled out an array of operation events on both Yalla and Yalla Ludo, refined our product features, and systematically improved our customer service management. As a result, Yalla Group's paying user increased by 26.6% year-over-year, to 13.4 million in Quarter two, demonstrating users' increasing willingness to pay on our platform. Our team will continue to refine our user acquisition and operational strategies to further improve operating efficiency.

I'm pleased to share with you that during Quarter two, Yalla Group launched a new product developed to serve Arabic users' traditions in prayer, which plays a significant role in Arabic user daily lives. Our team launched this user-friendly and ad-free app to provide users in the Arabic community with accurate praying times and a number of other customized functions related to prayer. The introduction of this app aligns with Yalla Group's ESG program, demonstrating our dedication to honoring Arabic culture, which represents a significant portion of today's culturally diverse society. Next, it's my privilege to announce that as a leading local gaming company, Yalla was invited by the Department of Economy and Tourism of Dubai to participate in the Dubai Esports and Games Festival 2023. Attending the festival in late June, we showcased our latest hardcore games and discussed the future of mobile games in MENA.

Held under the patronage of the ruler of Dubai, the Dubai Esports and Games Festival is the premier esports and gaming event in the MENA region. It introduced the latest developments in the gaming industry through games expos, esports tournaments, influencer challenges, and a game industry conference. This event has also solidified Dubai as a global gaming destination and encouraged a sense of community among gaming enthusiasts, offering an exceptional gaming experience steeped in Arabic customs. Our 2 new games, Merge Kingdoms and Age of Legends, gained great popularity among players at the festival. This reflects our strong local expertise. The event also strengthens our brand awareness across the region. We are also pleased to report that in collaboration with Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, MBZUAI, we have launched a trailblazing program to cultivate new AI talent.

As the first graduate-level research-based AI university in the world, MBZUAI works to enable the advancement of graduate students, businesses, and governments in artificial intelligence in the Arabic environment. In addition to the internship program that's taking place at Yalla Group's headquarters in Dubai, the two parties will also focus on industrial development and explore the future application of cutting-edge technology to strengthen the alliance between industry and academia. As the largest online social networking and gaming company in MENA, over the past 7 years, Yalla Group has amassed a great deal of practical experience in natural language processing, computer vision, and recommendation system that fit with Arabic sentiment and Arabic users' customs. We believe our cooperation with MBZUAI will provide both parties with new ideas, enhance the application of AI innovation in the Arabic environment, and support the acceleration of digital transformation in the region at large.

Last but not least, we are very proud to announce that for three years in a row, Yalla Group was selected by data.ai as one of the top 30 publishers headquartered in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, EMEA, in the 2023 Publisher Awards. In the Middle East region, we were also recognized as being the number one publisher based on consumer spending. data.ai is a well-known global unified data analysis platform for the mobile application market. Our number one rating validates our deep local know-how in this increasingly competitive market and the strength of our monetization capabilities. We are honored to receive the data.ai prestigious award and look forward to continuously providing MENA users with high-quality, customized digital products to meet the fast-growing demands of online users.

In conclusion, I would like to echo the sentiment that Yalla's vision is to become the number one online social networking and entertainment platform in MENA region. As MENA's digital transformation gathers pivotal momentum over the next three to five years, we will leverage our extensive operating experience in this region, continue to invest in R&D, and roll out new products tailored to local users' habits and preferences. We will also work to expand our partnership with local channels and look forward for collaboration opportunities with industry peers around the globe, who are eager to explore the MENA market. Keeping our group vision in mind, we will remain faithful to our core values of prioritizing our users, embracing diversity, and operating within a simple, pragmatic, pioneering, and enterprising approach as we work to achieve our goals.

With that, I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Karen, who will discuss our key financial and operating results.

Karen Hu (CFO)

Thank you, Saifi. Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. In the second quarter, we achieved solid top and bottom line growth as we continue to pursue the high-quality development of our business. We remain committed to executing our disciplined cost management and ROI-based marketing strategy, further elevating our overall operational efficiency. We have also strategically leveraged the high interest rates to achieve higher returns to support our strong cash position. As a result, we maintained a healthy level of profitability with a net margin of 35.7% and a non-GAAP net margin of 42.6%. As we move into the second half year of 2023, we will continue to leverage our high-quality growth strategy and further enhance our efficiency....

We believe our ample cash position and strong execution capabilities will equip us to seize future opportunities that foster sustainable growth and generate value for all of our stakeholders. Now, I would like to walk you through our detailed financials for the second quarter of 2023. Our revenues were $79.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, a 4.1% increase from $76.1 million in the second quarter of last year. The increase was primarily driven by the broadening of our user base and our enhanced monetization capabilities. Now, let's take a look at our costs and expenses.

Our total costs and expenses remained relatively stable at $55.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $55.2 million in the same period last year. Our cost of revenues decreased by 3.2% to $28.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, down from $29.3 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a lower commission fees paid to third-party payment platforms as we diversified our payment channels, as well as lower technical service fees as a result of our more disciplined cost management. Cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 35.8% in the second quarter of 2023, compared with 38.5% in the same period last year.

Our selling and marketing expenses were $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2023, a 10.4% increase from $11.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher advertising and marketing promotion expenses related to increased user acquisition efforts and promotions associated with our expanding product portfolio. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues remained relatively stable at 15.6%, compared with 14.7% in the same period last year. Our general and administrative expenses were $8 million in the second quarter of 2023.

15.4% increase from $6.9 million U.S. dollars in the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation and an increase in professional service fees. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues remained relatively stable at 10.1%, compared with 9.1% in the same period last year. Our technology and product development expenses were $6.6 million U.S. dollars in the second quarter 2023, a 14.8% decrease from $7.7 million U.S. dollars in the same period last year, primarily due to the appreciation of U.S. dollar, which resulted in a decrease in the reporting currency amount of salaries and benefits for our technology and product development team, showing one of the benefits of our globalized talent acquisition strategy.

Technology and product development expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 10.2% in the second quarter of 2022 to 8.3% in the second quarter of 2023. Our operating income increased to $23.9 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $20.9 million in the same period last year. Excluding share-based compensation, our non-GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2023 was $29.4 million.

Our interest income was $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $176,000 in the same period of 2022, primarily due to a significant increase in interest rates applicable to our bank deposits and a continued increase in the company's cash position. Our income tax was $821,000 in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $780,000 in the same period last year. Moving to our bottom line, our net income increased by 39% to $28.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $20.4 million in the same period last year.

Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2023 increased by 18% year-over-year to $33.8 million. Next, I would like to briefly go through our liquidity and cash, cash resources. Our cash position remains solid. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, and short-term investments of $510.5 million, compared with $253 million as of December 31, 2022.

Under our share repurchase program that began May 21, 2021, and has since extended by our board through May 21, 2024, we have repurchased 2,302,141 ADS, or Class A ordinary shares, in the open market cash repurchases, totaling approximately $27 million as of June 30, 2023. Moving to our outlook. For the 3rd quarter of 2023, we expect our revenues to be between $73 million and $80 million. The above outlook is based on the current market conditions and reflects the company's management's current and preliminary estimates of the market and operating conditions and the customer demand, which are all subject to change. This concludes our prepared remarks for today. Operator, we are now ready to take questions.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. If you would like to ask a question, please press star then one on your telephone keypad. If you are using a speakerphone, we ask that you please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. To adjourn your question, please press star then two. Our first question today comes from Xueqing Zhang with CICC. Please go ahead.

Xueqing Zhang (Analyst)

Thank you. Good morning, management, thanks for taking my questions, and congrats on the strong quarter. I have three. First, with regard to Yalla and Ludo, based on stable growth in MAU quarter-on-quarter, which indicator does the company believe has more growth potential as a paying ratio or ARPU? The other two regard to your hardcore games. Can management share what you see as the advantage of getting more involved with the hardcore games? What are the expected marketing expenses for the two games in the Q3 and Q1, and how will they interact with our community? Thank you.

Tao Yang (Chairman and CEO)

Hi, good morning, Xueqing. Thank you very much for the questions. I will take the first two, I think our CFO, Karen, will take the, the third one. For the first question with, for, for the, paying ratio or ARPU, we started our Yalla and Yalla Ludo already in the MENA market, thus we're able to attain a group of users who are highly loyal and have high needs for online social networking and gaming services. Our users have shown a strong willingness to engage and pay on our platform over the past seven years. Our paying ratio in Q1 reached 41%. This quarter, it come down slightly to approximately 39%. For the first half of the year, our paying ratio has remained strong, which is higher than what we see from many tier products in the industry.

We have hosted a array of operating events in the past few quarters, which are designed for, to convert more users into paying users. I don't want to guide you to a higher paying ratio at this stage. I think it's already low. In terms of ARPU, I think, yes, there are more tactics we can try to improve its performance. For the, for the hardcore games question, we are dedicated to serving the MENA market, and we are also the largest local online social network and a gaming company. With this reach and our expansion growth, exploring the mid-core and hardcore gaming business is a necessary move for the company. It's also important step towards achieving our vision. In terms of advantages, I think there are two important parts.

First of all, gaming is a fast-growing market in MENA, and it's also an industry that many MENA countries are focusing on developing. We identify mid-core and hardcore game to be one of the important business drivers for our company in future. We also have a highly engaged user community that we can leverage on. Secondly, gaming business is a cash driving, and with support from the strong cash position, we may be able to explore more internet-related business in the region. As you may already know, many workers now don't have a dominant player in MENA, in MENA market yet. Hope this answers your question, Xueqing. Our CFO will be taking the last question. Thank you. Karen?

Karen Hu (CFO)

Oh, sorry, I'm muted. Sorry, sorry. Thank you, Chao. Thank you for your question, Xueqing. For the second half of this year, we budgeted at least more than $1 million to invest in promoting these two mid-core and hardcore games. Our budget is dynamic. We will adjust it according to our user's feedback. It's possible for us to invest more if we see it's needed. We have just started to promote Merge Kingdoms in our Yalla community. We are already seeing better retention and willingness to pay. Early feedback has been positive. We will continue to monitor user trends. Hope I answered your question. Thank you.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. Our next question today comes from Chenghao Li with CICC. Please go ahead.

Chenghao Li (Analyst)

Hey. Hi, management. Thanks for taking my question and congratulations on another solid quarter. I have two questions. First, which is a follow-up question: Can management share more detail about what will the financial impact be of launching the two mid and hardcore games? Secondly, we can see that Yalla Group often achieves record high performance in the second quarter during the off-season of Ramadan. What are the main driving forces behind this, and how should we think about this in terms of the seasonal changes in the third and Q4? Thank you.

Karen Hu (CFO)

Thank you, Chenghao. I'll take the first question and leave the second one to our CEO. If you are referring to the impact of the potential investments in these two hardcore games promotion to our group margin, I would like to emphasize that our annual margin guidance, which is over 30%, we provided at the beginning of the year, already includes these anticipated expenses. Far, our margin trend is consistent with our expectations, and because of our quality growth strategy at the group level, our group margin is actually doing a little better than we promised at the beginning of this year. In terms of potential revenue contribution, we started the official promotion of both products in Q3, and we are gradually increasing the investments in sales and marketing.

Looking at the ranking on some third-party data platforms, we see that Merge Kingdoms growth in ranking under the same category in MENA is already about the same level as some successful SLG games. The whole team is working on that, and our goal is to improve the game's performance further. Hope I answered your question. Thank you.

Tao Yang (Chairman and CEO)

Hi, Chenghao. Thank you very much for your question. I'll take the second one. For the like, Ramadan or the main driving forces. I, I think the most influential seasonality impact we see is still Ramadan, which usually falls in Q2. For the other quarters, I don't see seasonality as a very strong factor. Yes, we delivered very good performances in Q2 this year, but if we look into our revenue trends on a daily or weekly basis, we see users did show less willingness to pay during Ramadan. However, our product and operation teams were able to roll out popular events and new features on our platform after Ramadan ended. In the later part of Q2, our revenue growth showed solid recovery.

I think the key driver of this quarter's strong performance is still closely tied to our ability to roll out events that are customized for local user preferences, as well as our ability to provide users with better experiences on the platform. Thank you, Chenghao.

Chenghao Li (Analyst)

Okay, management, thank you.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. Thank you, our next question today comes from Kaifang Jia with CITIC. Please go ahead.

Kaifang Jia (Analyst)

Management, thanks for taking my question. I have a question about your gaming business. What's the specific launch strategy and the monetization plan for the mid and hardcore gaming business? Thank you.

Tao Yang (Chairman and CEO)

Hi, Kaifang. Thank you for your question. Regarding the sales and marketing strategy for our hardcore games, there are two important points we care about. First of all, for any new mid and hardcore games promotions, building user community with good dynamics is very significant. That's highly related to the pace and tactics we use in marketing. Additionally, the pace is quite different for SLG games and RPG games. A lot of know-how is involved, and we need to be pretty accurate in controlling the pace. Secondly, we really care about the ROI. We monitor our ROI on a daily basis as one of the key metrics we refer to. In terms of the monetization of the hardcore games, I would say in-app purchase are the main part. Thank you for your question, Kaifang.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. Our next question comes from Xiaoyue Hu with Haitong. Please go ahead.

Xiaoyue Hu (Analyst)

Thank you, management, for taking my question, and congratulations on a very strong quarter. I have two questions today. Firstly, could you please provide updates on YallaChat and other new products? My second question is, what are the future growth drivers for the Yalla and Yalla Ludo legacy products? Thanks.

Tao Yang (Chairman and CEO)

... Hi, Xiaoyue. Morning. I, I'll take the question. As we shared earlier, our YallaChat is an instant message product customized for Arabic users and reflects our observations with respect to local users' social habits and preferences. The product has met the goal we set for its first stage of promotion soon after its launch, and has shown strong retention since then. Recently, we have focused more on refining the product features and rolling out new functions. For example, our YallaChat now supports 32 users joining the same group video chat, and we also launched the in-app emoji shop. We will invest more resources in refining the product before we begin the second round of promotion. Another update I would like to share with you is about Waha, building on a 3D animation social world and avatar we built.

We plan to explore its combination with mid-core and hardcore games to boost the gamification of the product. We will keep you posted on our progress on our new product. For the second question, about the future growth drivers for Yalla and Yalla Ludo. Our two flagship apps, Yalla and Yalla Ludo, have shown strong popularity in the MENA market, and we are very confident this trend will continue. In terms of users growth, we will stick with our current strategy to obtain quality growth and focus more on the ROI instead of only the community size. We will also continue to strategically refine our operations and keep rolling out new features and operating events tailored to local users preferences to boost user engagement and output. We expect our reflection applications to keep their current steady pace of growth. Thank you.

Xiaoyue Hu (Analyst)

Thank you.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. Our next question comes from Lincoln Kong with Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.

Lincoln Kong (Analyst)

Thank you, management, for taking my question. You know, the management team discussed this trend of increasing interest from global internet companies to the Middle East market during this prepared remark session. How is this going to affect Yalla's development in the region, and how do you see the competitive landscape changing under this context? Thank you.

Tao Yang (Chairman and CEO)

Thank you very much, Lincoln. As we discussed in our remarks session, MENA's micro environment is very good, the local government dedication to development is strong. More and more resources, including talent and investment, are being directed to this market. I think one important thing we have noticed is that since the second half of last year, we have been more frequently invited to discuss opportunities in the MENA market with industry peers. More conversations are happening, in this process, we are able to learn from each party's insights and intentions, what they have and what they need at this point, and discuss ways to collaborate that are mutually beneficial. With all these creative minds and resources, it's not hard to see that the market is going to grow in the next three to five years.

In terms of the competitive landscape, in recent years, some strong internet companies gradually entered the market, such as ByteDance. Some mobile gaming apps are also performing very well in this market. This is very exciting. It's a testament to the region's market potential, as well as it's also a sign of its vibrant development. I want to reiterate that competition is never bad. It inspires us to better serve our users, research new technologies and industry trends, and drive collaborations and innovation. As a leading player in this region, we see the unfolding of this event as an opportunity. We are taking proactive steps to cement our leadership position and remain confident in our capabilities after all this year. Thank you, Lincoln.

Lincoln Kong (Analyst)

Thank you. Thank you for working.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. Our next question comes from Edward Wong with Credit Suisse. Please go ahead.

Edward Wong (Analyst)

Hi, management. Thanks for the presentations, and congratulations on the robust results. My question is that, can management share more colors about revenue growth target in the second half of the year? Thank you.

Karen Hu (CFO)

Hi, Edward. Thank you. Thank you for the question. For our flagship applications, we expect their current steady pace of growth to continue in line with the annual revenue guidance we provided at beginning of the year. As a reminder, this guidance excludes the potential contribution from our mid-core and hardcore games business. We recently started the official promotion of our two games, and there are still four more months from now on to the end of this year. We will keep you posted on our progress once we have a more accurate prediction. Thank you.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. Our next question comes from Rachel Guo with Nomura. Please go ahead.

Rachel Guo (Analyst)

Good morning, management. Thanks for taking the question, and then congratulations on the recent quarter. I have a question about the net profit margin. Could management share more color on net profit margin trend in the second half of this year? Thanks.

Karen Hu (CFO)

Thank you. Thank you for your question. Since we have promotions for our mid-core to hardcore games in quarter three and quarter four, there may be some fluctuations in our quarterly net margin. It depends on our users' feedback and how much we will end up investing. Taking the potential expenses of mid-core to hardcore games sales and marketing into account, plus the benefits of our operating refinements and the higher interest rates, that which we are driving better returns on our cash position, we expect Yalla's 2023 annual non-GAAP, GAAP, non-GAAP net margin to increase to about 35%. Hope I answered your question. Thank you.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. As there are no further questions now, I'd like to turn the call back over to management for closing remarks.

Karen Hu (CFO)

Thank you once again for joining us today. We look forward to speaking with you in the next quarter. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact Yalla Investor Relations or Piacente Financial Communications. Both parties' contact information is available on today's press release, as well as on our company website. Thank you.

Operator (participant)
