| The solution gives the desired content and improved overall content utilization efficiency |
| How has mobile MAU performed well in the third quarter? As mentioned in our prepared remarks, thanks to the platform's high-quality content |
| This provided meaningful catalyst in the form of momentum in attracting new users and invigorating existing ones |
| Navigating today's complex macro dynamics, we have made significant strides in our refined operations, achieving growth in net income and adjusted net income for 3 quarters in a row |
| With this continuous optimization to our ecosystem that houses our game-centric community, our overall possibility has improved |
| Here, we have successfully elevated the company of all operating efficiency by optimizing costs and emphasizing ROI |
| This proactive approach has in turn given streamers a better grasp of user needs and market trends, providing them with the insights they need to actively adjust their live streaming strategies, which has improved both live streaming quality and efficiency and boosted their interest in producing live streaming sessions |
| Elevating their awareness of compliance on the content front, we have ensured the sustained, stable delivery of high-quality content to our users through continued content innovation and diversification |
| We place a significant emphasis on user guidance and education, promoting our platform's rules and regulations to users through the DouYu classroom initiative, enhance users compliance awareness and further improving the cyber environment across our platform |
| Since the beginning of this year, we have continued to strengthen the retention of core paying users to maintain stability of paying users and overall revenue |
| Apart from the membership business, several other innovative businesses and development have shown promising prospects and started contributing to our revenue |
| Our game-specific membership service is well aligned with the platform gaming content and is both attracting new users and expanding our revenue streams |
| All of these target stronger retention among our core paying users, and our membership renewal rate has been steadily rising for several consecutive quarters |
| Since early 2022, we have continuously improved and promoted platform-wide membership system, upgraded membership functions and upgraded membership benefits to enhance the companion attributes of our products and strengthen interactions between streamers and members |
| We took our cooperation with game developers to the next level, achieving favorable outcomes in both the operation of games that we already covered and the promotion of new ones |
| Eggy Party has been a standout success this year |
| So far, among the numerous innovative businesses we have looked into, the membership business has shown the strongest growth momentum, while also promoting a diverse and sustainable revenue stream |
| In the meantime, amongst the program, we initiated a series of community operations and incentives for streamers in the Eggy Party segment, successfully gaining traction among both new and existing users and fortifying overall users' stickiness |
| This type of highly popular, high-quality content facilitates core promotion and synergy between our platform and gamers, increasing user penetration on both fronts and ultimately benefiting all stakeholders |
| As a result, the company's adjusted profitability has significantly improved |
| Our sophisticated content operations not only boosted the visibility and the pre-eminence of the new game itself, but also importantly underscores DouYu's ability to consistently deliver premium content, leaving a lasting impression on gamers |
| Second, on the revenue side, we improved our operating efficiency by scaling down low-margin marketing activities |
| Apart from revenue generated from traditional virtual gifting, our membership business also achieved solid growth momentum |
| These price adjustments and operations have helped us maintain paying users' payment habits and the overall size of our paying user base |
| Among this, the game membership business derived from our platform's content and associated games has shown good growth trends |
| This multi-faceted strategy will help stabilize our financial profile and fortify our platform's long-term profitability, ensuring that we not only weather the macro headwinds, but also strive in evolving gaming content industry landscape |
| Regarding product R&D and functionality innovation, in the third quarter, we have been continuously refining our healthy content ecosystem and improving the operating efficiency of relevant business segments empowered by technology upgrades |
| Together with our ongoing effective cost control measures, our adjusted net profit has achieved stable growth for the third consecutive quarter |
| This enhancement effectively is the burden of manual review and resulted in an overall improvement in the efficiency of our content moderation |
| In general, we have effectively attended to and retained co-paying users across the platform and our membership renewal rate has steadily increased over several consecutive quarters |

| On a year-over-year basis, this led to a lack of user acquisition from promotional channels and a decline in MAUs |
| The decline in gross profit was primarily attributable to decreased live streaming revenues and increased other costs |
| Total net revenues in the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 24.4% year-over-year to RMB 1.36 billion |
| The challenging macro landscape has to a certain extent made users less willing to spend, resulting in a reduction in the number of paying users |
| In response to the soft consumer sentiment, we provided lower-priced revenue products to sustain the spending habits among mid to long-tail paying users, which resulted in a decrease in quarterly ARPU |
| The decrease was primarily due to the soft macroeconomic conditions, which impacted the spending willingness of some new and price-sensitive paying users |
| In addition, the economic cycle also affects our commercialization strategies, especially in today's relatively weak economic environment |
| Live streaming revenues were RMB 1.15 billion, a decrease of 32.5% from RMB 1.71 billion in the same period of 2022 |
| Therefore, our quarterly ARPU marginally declined year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter to RMB 306 |
| Since June of this year, we have seen a decline trend in mid-tier users' willingness to pay |
| Our quarterly ARPU was RMB 306, down 4% from RMB 319 in the same period last year |
| Although our company's overall user base and revenue growth were affected |
| During the quarter, we clamped down on non-complaint activities across our platform, addressing under the table dealings in game profits and other items and combating cyber trolls, such as cyber violence and online rumors |
| First, the decrease in revenue share fees, which was mainly aligned with decreased live streaming revenues |
| With the influence of these macro factors, DouYu faces both challenges and opportunities |
| First, as we executed our strategy to foster a healthy sustainable game-centric community ecosystem, we reduced the sum of our revenue-generating actions intended to boost activity on the platform, including discontinuing marketing activities aimed at attracting new paying users |
| And given the current macro environment, we expect the scale of our paying users and the revenue from the virtual gifting business to experience a quarter-over-quarter decrease |
| Coupled with a smaller user base resulting from our strategically decreased marketing spending, the number of total paying users decreased year-over-year |
| General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were RMB 51 million, a drop of 2.5% from RMB 52.3 million in the same period of 2022 |
| A seasonal low in operating cash flow typically comes in the first quarter as we pay employee year-end bonuses at the beginning of the year |
