“We delivered another robust performance in the second quarter,” said Mr. Yang Tao, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Yalla. “Our revenues reached US$84.6 million, beating the upper end of our guidance. Improvements in our internal processes boosted operational efficiency, bringing our net margin to 43.2%, a year-over-year expansion of 4.6 percentage points. Meanwhile, our continued efforts to enrich our product portfolio and maintain a highly-engaged community drove an 8.8% year-over-year increase in average MAUs to 42.4 million.

“Building on these strong fundamentals, we continued to upgrade our flagship applications and broaden our product portfolio, expanding into new verticals to tap into MENA’s thriving digital transformation. We have two exciting Match-3 titles scheduled for release in the third quarter and a roguelike game set to debut in the fourth quarter this year. Additionally, our game distribution services segment is preparing for the distribution of a hard-core title. Going forward, Yalla Group will continue to enrich users’ digital lives with a diverse lineup of gaming products while working alongside partners to foster a sustainable digital ecosystem in MENA, compounding our advantages in this compelling market and unlocking its value for all of our stakeholders,” Mr. Yang concluded.

Ms. Karen Hu, CFO of Yalla, commented, “Strong execution across our operations fueled this quarter’s strong results, highlighted by better-than-expected revenues and enhanced profitability. Our disciplined cost management and improved efficiency resulted in a 16.4% year-over-year increase in our net income to US$36.5 million. Bolstered by this success, we continued to accelerate our expanded share buyback program, with 6,230,299 shares totaling US$41.0 million repurchased this year through June 30, 2025. We are open to further scaling this program, reflecting our deep confidence in the Company’s future growth potential and dedication to elevating shareholder value. Looking ahead, we remain committed to product innovation and operational excellence as we advance toward our vision of becoming the most popular platform for online social networking and entertainment activities in MENA.”

 

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenues

Our revenues were US$84.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, a 4.1% increase from US$81.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by our broadening user base and enhanced monetization capability. Our average MAUs increased by 8.8% to 42.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 from 39.0 million in the second quarter of 2024.

In the second quarter of 2025, revenues generated from chatting services were US$53.6 million, and revenues from games services were US$30.7 million.

 

Costs and expenses

Our total costs and expenses were US$53.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, a 4.6% increase from US$51.6 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Our cost of revenues was US$27.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, a 3.7% decrease from US$29.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower commission fees paid to third-party payment platforms as a result of diversified payment channels and lower share-based compensation expenses recognized in the second quarter of 2025. Cost of revenues as a percentage of our total revenues decreased to 33.0% in the second quarter of 2025 from 35.7% in the second quarter of 2024.

Our selling and marketing expenses were US$8.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, a 2.0% increase from US$8.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher advertising and market promotion expenses attributable to our continued user acquisition efforts and expanding product portfolio. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of our total revenues decreased to 10.2% in the second quarter of 2025 from 10.5% in the second quarter of 2024.

 

Our general and administrative expenses were US$9.0 million in the second quarter of 2025, an 18.8% increase from US$7.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to increases in incentive compensation and foreign exchange loss. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of our total revenues increased to 10.6% in the second quarter of 2025 from 9.3% in the second quarter of 2024.

Our technology and product development expenses were US$8.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, a 28.6% increase from US$6.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits for our technology and product development staff, driven by an increase in their headcount 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 9.9% in the second quarter of 2025 from 8.0% in the second quarter of 2024.

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.
