Third Quarter 2024 Business Highlights

In the third quarter, Bigo Live sharpened its operational strategy by prioritizing advertising investments and operational resources toward developed countries and premium users, and simultaneously enhanced its content quality and social experiences to drive long-term user monetization potential. This targeted approach yielded strong results in core developed countries, where MAUs grew 3.4% year over year and 3.7% quarter over quarter, and paying users increased 9.1% year over year. Bigo Live also achieved encouraging momentum in the Middle East, where its revenue increased 5.6% sequentially.

To further enhance its global content and social ecosystem, Bigo Live implemented a series of upgrades to boost the creation, quality, and distribution of content on its platform. For example, Bigo Live fine-tuned its content recommendation algorithms to better facilitate content sharing within same-language regions and expand cross-regional content flow between highly interactive markets. These enhancements streamlined its cross-regional content delivery and better served users' growing appetite for global content and social connections.

In the last quarter, Bigo Live successfully hosted the third season of "BIGO's Most Talented", featuring categories in Music, Dance and Beauty Pageantry. The event attracted outstanding creators from around the world. Building on previous seasons, the third season introduced a more rounded judging system incorporating key audience engagement metrics. This allowed a seamless merger of interactive livestreaming elements with traditional talent show elements. The event resonated strongly with viewers, amassing an impressive 5.79 million audience votes. Bigo Live also strengthened bonds with its business partners and user community through a series of mid-year galas across Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. These gatherings brought together the cornerstone members of Bigo Live's ecosystem - top creators, users and partners - to celebrate their achievements and vital contributions to the platform's progress in the first half of the year.

Bigo Live also further developed its social engagement features, prioritizing improvements to Real Match and messaging functionality. These upgrades drove deeper user connections and more efficient follow conversions. Notably, Real Match's average DAU penetration rate increased significantly to 23.4%, while the number of direct chat messages rose by 15.9% from the previous quarter. Bigo Live also achieved a 4.3% rise in average new follows per user. By directing traffic to premium hosts and upgrading interactive features, Bigo Live boosted creator participation and user engagement in multi-guest rooms. Bigo Live achieved a 3.9% sequential increase in the penetration rate of streamers in multi-guest rooms, alongside a 3.6% sequential increase in the overall rate of users going live as guest speakers.

Likee remains rooted in the Middle East and European markets, where it continues to build momentum and enhance monetization across both livestreaming and advertising. As a result, Likee's advertising revenue grew 33.4% year over year in the third quarter, and Likee maintained its profitability.

During the quarter, Likee elevated its user experience across its core markets through enhanced content quality, interactivity, and community engagement. A standout community-building initiative was its August music festival tour across five European cities, which brought together Likee's top creators, including music bloggers and dance groups, alongside established performers and celebrities. This unique event delivered an unprecedented interactive experience for the Likee community. In September, Likee served as the official media partner for Phygital Games 2024, providing eight days of livestreaming coverage to immerse users in the competitive prowess of top athletes in digital football, basketball, laser shooting, and simulated dance. Likee's expanded premium content offerings and content diversity drove a 12.3% quarter-over-quarter increase in users' video time spent.

In the third quarter, Hago's targeted incentive strategy across different paying user segments drove improved monetization metrics. This strategy resulted in positive momentum in both its paying users and ARPPU, with its revenue growing 6.1% quarter over quarter. Hago maintained a positive operating cash flow in the third quarter, and its operating losses further narrowed. Hago's social engagement metrics also remained strong, with average time spent in social channels increasing 2.5% quarter over quarter to 105.8 minutes, and next-day retention rates showing sustained improvement.
