Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were RMB27,270.4 million (US$3,737.7 million), compared with RMB24,011.3 million and RMB24,426.8 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively.
Net revenues from games and related value-added services were RMB21,779.9 million (US$2,985.2 million) for the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB18,798.6 million and RMB18,699.1 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively. Net revenues from the operation of online games accounted for approximately 93.7% of the segment’s net revenues for the third quarter of 2023, compared with 91.7% and 92.9% for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively. Net revenues from mobile games accounted for approximately 77.6% of net revenues from the operation of online games for the third quarter of 2023, compared with 73.6% and 68.6% for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively.
Net revenues from Youdao were RMB1,538.8 million (US$210.9 million) for the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB1,206.6 million and RMB1,402.4 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively.
Net revenues from Cloud Music were RMB1,973.1 million (US$270.4 million) for the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB1,948.5 million and RMB2,357.2 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively.
Net revenues from innovative businesses and others were RMB1,978.7 million (US$271.2 million) for the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB2,057.5 million and RMB1,968.0 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 was RMB16,966.3 million (US$2,325.4 million), compared with RMB14,375.4 million and RMB13,743.9 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively.
The quarter-over-quarter increase in games and related value-added services’ gross profit was primarily due to increased net revenues from newly launched games such as Justice mobile game and Racing Master. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased net revenues from the operation of online games such as Eggy Party and those newly launched titles, as well as decreased royalty fees due to the termination of certain licensed games.
3
The quarter-over-quarter increase in Youdao’s gross profit was primarily attributable to the increase in net revenues from its learning services. The year-over-year increase primarily resulted from increased revenue contribution from both its learning services and online marketing services.
The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases in Cloud Music’s gross profit primarily resulted from increased net revenues from sales of membership subscriptions and continued improvement in cost control measures.
The quarter-over-quarter decrease in innovative businesses and others’ gross profit was primarily due to decreased e-commerce gross profit from Yanxuan. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased gross profit from Yanxuan and several other businesses included within the segment.
Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit margin for games and related value-added services for the third quarter of 2023 was 69.0%, compared with 67.4% and 65.0% for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily attributable to changes in the revenue mix of NetEase’s self-developed, co-developed and licensed games, as well as the relative revenue contribution from different channels. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to a higher proportion of net revenues contributed by NetEase’s self-developed games.
Gross profit margin for Youdao for the third quarter of 2023 was 55.9%, compared with 47.0% and 54.2% for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases were primarily attributable to the factors enumerated above.
Gross profit margin for Cloud Music for the third quarter of 2023 was 27.2%, compared with 27.0% and 14.2% for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year improvements were mainly due to the factors enumerated above.
Gross profit margin for innovative businesses and others for the third quarter of 2023 was 27.3%, compared with 29.5% and 25.5% for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year fluctuations were mainly due to changes in the product mix within the segment.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were RMB9,408.4 million (US$1,289.5 million), compared with RMB8,312.8 million and RMB9,002.1 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to increased marketing expenditures and staff-related costs associated with games and related value-added services. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher research and development investments.
4
Other Income/ (Expenses)
Other income/ (expenses) consisted of investment income, interest income, exchange gains/ (losses) and others. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decreases were mainly due to net unrealized exchange losses arising from the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated bank deposits and loan balances as the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the RMB fluctuated in the third quarter of 2023.
Income Tax
The Company recorded a net income tax charge of RMB1,290.4 million (US$176.9 million) for the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB712.1 million and RMB1,586.7 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 was 14.2%, compared with 8.0% and 19.3% for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the preceding quarter was primarily due to tax benefits recognized in that quarter. The effective tax rate represents certain estimates by the Company as to the tax obligations and benefits applicable to it in each quarter.
Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income
Net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders totaled RMB7,836.9 million (US$1,074.1 million) for the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB8,242.8 million and RMB6,699.4 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively.
NetEase reported basic net income of US$0.33 per share (US$1.67 per ADS) for the third quarter of 2023, compared with US$0.35 per share (US$1.75 per ADS) and US$0.28 per share (US$1.41 per ADS) for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively.
Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders totaled RMB8,645.2 million (US$1,184.9 million) for the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB9,017.5 million and RMB7,469.6 million for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively.
NetEase reported non-GAAP basic net income from continuing operations of US$0.37 per share (US$1.84 per ADS) for the third quarter of 2023, compared with US$0.38 per share (US$1.92 per ADS) and US$0.31 per share (US$1.57 per ADS) for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB9.8 billion (US$1.3 billion) for the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB7.7 billion and RMB7.5 billion for the preceding quarter and the third quarter of 2022, respectively.

Forward Looking Statements
This announcement contains statements of a forward-looking nature. These statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these forward-looking statements by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar statements. In addition, statements that are not historical facts, including statements about NetEase’s strategies and business plans, its expectations regarding the growth of its business and its revenue and the quotations from management in this announcement are or contain forward-looking statements. NetEase may also make forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in announcements made on the website of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Stock Exchange”), in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. The accuracy of these statements may be impacted by a number of business risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated, including risks related to: the risk that the online games market will not continue to grow or that NetEase will not be able to maintain its position in that market in China or globally; risks associated with NetEase’s business and operating strategies and its ability to implement such strategies; NetEase’s ability to develop and manage its operations and business; competition for, among other things, capital, technology and skilled personnel; potential changes in government regulation that could adversely affect the industry and geographical markets in which NetEase operates; the risk that NetEase may not be able to continuously develop new and creative online services or that NetEase will not be able to set, or follow in a timely manner, trends in the market; the risk related to economic uncertainty and capital market disruption; the risk related to the expansion of NetEase’s businesses and operations internationally; the risk associated with cybersecurity threats or incidents; and the risk that fluctuations in the value of the Renminbi with respect to other currencies could adversely affect NetEase’s business and financial results. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in NetEase’s filings with the SEC and announcements on the website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. NetEase does not undertake any obligation to update this forward-looking information, except as required under applicable law.
8
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
NetEase considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income from continuing operations per ADS and per share, as supplemental metrics in reviewing and assessing its operating performance and formulating its business plan. The presentation of 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
NetEase defines non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders as net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders enables NetEase’s management to assess its operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses. NetEase believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s current operating performance and prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. NetEase also believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure facilitates investors’ assessment of its operating performance.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders is that it does not reflect all items of expense/ income that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in NetEase’s business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures NetEase uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
NetEase compensates for these limitations by reconciling non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. See “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this announcement. NetEase encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
