MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes incorporated in this offering memorandum by reference to our 2019 Annual Report, our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our current report on Form 6-K furnished with the SEC on May 27, 2020, which is incorporated by reference into this offering memorandum, and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our 2019 Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those we currently anticipate as a result of various factors, including those we describe under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this offering memorandum.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

User growth and engagement

Our business depends on our ability to grow our user base, and maintain and increase user engagement. We have experienced rapid user growth since our inception. The following table sets forth our average MAUs for each of the quarters indicated:


	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2018		June 30, 2018		September 30, 2018		December 31, 2018		March 31, 2019		June 30, 2019		September 30, 2019		December 31, 2019		March 31, 2020
	(in thousands)
Average MAUs		77,454.2		85,041.4		92,748.0		92,766.2		101,334.7		110,352.7		127,876.2		130,276.9		172,379.0

Our MAUs include our mobile app MAUs and PC MAUs after eliminating duplicates of users who utilize both terminals. Our active users generally view and consume a multitude of content offered on our platform, including videos, live broadcasting, mobile games and other content. Our mobile games are generally free to play, and we offer in-game virtual items that are available for sale, through which we generate our mobile game revenues. We derive a majority of revenues from our mobile game services, and, to a lesser extent, from VAS, advertising and e-commerce and others. The number of our users and the level of their engagement on our platform indirectly affect our revenues because the more users we have, the more mobile game players, live broadcasting hosts and advertisers we have. In particular, mobile game user base growth and engagement are primarily driven by the launch of new games and the release of updates of our existing games.

Monetization of our user base with increasingly diversified product and service offerings

Our revenues and results of operations depend on our ability to monetize our large user base, to convert more users to paying users and to increase the spending of our paying users. Paying users on our platform include users who make payments for various products and services on our platform, including purchases in mobile games offered on our platform, and payments for virtual items in our live broadcasting programs and for other VAS. A user who makes payments across different products and services offered on our platform using the same registered account is counted as one paying user.

The following table sets forth our average MAUs, our average monthly paying users, and average monthly revenue per paying user for each of the quarters indicated:


	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2018		June 30, 2018		September 30, 2018		December 31, 2018		March 31, 2019		June 30, 2019		September 30, 2019		December 31, 2019		March 31, 2020
	(in thousands)
Average MAUs		77,454.2		85,041.4		92,748.0		92,766.2		101,334.7		110,352.7		127,876.2		130,276.9		172,379.0
Average monthly paying users		2,472.5		2,966.2		3,540.2		4,415.8		5,742.6		6,258.5		7,946.6		8,817.4		13,426.9
	(in RMB)
Average monthly revenue per paying user		105.7		102.2		86.0		69.0		67.6		66.4		58.1		54.5		48.3

The number of average monthly paying users has generally been increasing as we expanded our mobile games operations and diversify our value-added services offerings. The decrease of our average monthly revenue per paying user was mainly due to a substantial increase in the number of paying users attributable to our premium membership program, which has relatively low revenue per paying user.

Our brand recognition and market leadership

Our ability to maintain our prominent market leadership and brand recognition as the leading online entertainment platform is key to our ability to maintain and enhance relationships with our users, content providers, advertisers, game developers and other business partners, and increase our revenues. In addition, the reputation and attractiveness of our platform among young users also serves as an efficient marketing channel for our products and services, such as mobile games.

Our ability to manage our costs and expenses

Our results of operations depend on our ability to manage our costs and expenses. Our cost of revenues consists primarily of revenue-sharing costs, content costs, server and bandwidth costs and e-commerce and other costs. We expect our revenue-sharing costs and content costs will increase in absolute amount as our user base expands and we continue to procure quality content. In addition, we expect the absolute amount of our server and bandwidth costs and our e-commerce and other costs to increase as we grow our business. We will also invest in the growth by incurring sales and marketing expenses.

Investment in technology and talent

Our technology is critical for us to retain and attract users, other customers and business partners. Our current research and development efforts are primarily focused on enhancing our artificial intelligence technology, big data analytics capabilities and cloud technology.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Operations and Financial Performance

Substantially all of our revenues and workforce are concentrated in China. In response to the intensifying efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, the Chinese government has taken certain emergency measures, including extension of the Lunar New Year holidays, implementation of travel bans, blockade of certain roads and closure of factories and businesses, and may continue to take further measures to keep this epidemic outbreak in check. This outbreak has caused delays in the delivery of our merchandise sold on our platform to the customers in the first quarter of 2020. The delivery has been gradually recovering in the second quarter of 2020. However, if the impact of COVID-19 is prolonged or worsens further, it may still disrupt the delivery, which may in turn adversely affect our revenue and financial conditions. The outbreak may also cause delay or cancellation in our offline events in 2020. Furthermore, our user acquisition and engagement may fluctuate depending on factors beyond our control, such as the shelter-in-place restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have experienced a significant increase in the size and engagement of our active user base during the first quarter of 2020, and we cannot predict user acquisition and engagement levels after various shelter-in-place restrictions are relaxed.

While events related to the outbreak of and response to the COVID-19 are expected to be temporary, there remain significant uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak and its further development as a global pandemic. Hence, the extent of the business disruption and the related impact on our financial results and outlook for 2020 cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

As of March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, as well as short-term investments were RMB7.9 billion (US$1.1 billion). Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash at banks and cash held in accounts with third-party online payment platforms. Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash generated from operating activities, as well as the proceeds we received from our public offerings of ordinary shares and our offerings of convertible senior notes. In addition, in April 2020, we issued 17,310,696 Class Z ordinary shares to Sony Corporation of America for its investment of approximately US$400 million in cash.

We believe this level of liquidity is sufficient to successfully navigate an extended period of uncertainty. See also “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry— Our business may be materially adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19.”

Total net revenues		2,468,449		100.0	%		4,128,931		100.0	%		6,777,922		100.0	%		1,373,507		100.0	%		2,315,535		327,016		100.0	%

Mobile games. We primarily offer exclusively distributed mobile games and jointly operated mobile games developed by third-party game developers. For exclusively distributed mobile games, we are responsible for game launch, hosting and maintenance of game servers, the operation of in-game promotions and customer services. We also develop localized versions for such games licensed from overseas developers. For jointly operated mobile game services, we offer our mobile game platform for mobile games developed by third-party game developers. We earn game distribution service revenue within the applicable contract periods by providing payment solutions and market distribution services, while game developers are responsible for providing game products, hosting and maintaining game servers and determining the pricing of in-game virtual items. As of December 31, 2019, we operated 29 exclusively distributed mobile games, over 750 jointly operated mobile games and one self-developed mobile game. Our revenues from mobile games depend on the number of paying users and average revenue per paying user, and ultimately are determined by our ability to select, procure and offer engaging games tailored to our platform and our user preferences.

VAS (formerly known as Live broadcasting and VAS). We generate revenues from our live broadcasting program by sales of in-channel virtual items for use in our live broadcasting program so that users can send them to hosts to show their support. The virtual items sold by us comprise of either consumable items, such as gifts and items that create special visual effects, or time-based items, such as privileges and titles. Under the arrangements with hosts of our live broadcasting program, we share with them a portion of the revenues derived from the sales of virtual items. Meanwhile, we also generate revenues from other VAS including premium membership subscription, paid content and virtual items on our video, audio and comic platforms. Our premium membership program allows paying members to enjoy exclusive or view licensed content as well as original content in advance. We expect revenues from VAS to continue to grow.

Advertising. We generate advertising revenues primarily from display advertising arrangements and performance-based advertisements, and we expect to increase in-program advertisements. Display advertising arrangements allow advertisers to place advertisements on particular areas of our platform, in particular formats and over particular periods. Performance-based advertisements allow advertisers to connect with users who are likely to have demand for the advertisers’ products and services based on users’ activity and demographic data collected on our platform. We have also worked with our content creators and licensed content providers to offer advertisers in-program advertisements. We expect our advertising revenues to increase in the foreseeable future as we will continue to introduce new advertising and marketing solutions and attract more advertisers.

E-commerce and others. Our e-commerce and others primarily consist of sales of products on our e-commerce platform, and also include revenues from holding certain offline performance activities. We expect an increase in e-commerce and others in the foreseeable future considering the growing demand for ACG-related products from our users.

The increase was primarily due to the increasing popularity of both existing and newly launched mobile games.

VAS (formerly known as Live broadcasting and VAS). Our net revenues from VAS increased by 172.1% from RMB291.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 to RMB793.6 million (US$112.1 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2020, mainly attributable to our enhanced monetization efforts, led by increases in the number of paying users for our premium membership program, live broadcasting services and other value-added services.

This increase was primarily attributable to the increasing number of advertisers, which was driven by further recognition of Bilibili’s brand name in China’s online advertising market.

E-commerce and Others. We had RMB95.9 million and RMB157.1 million (US$22.2 million) of e-commerce and other net revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in sales of products on our e-commerce platform.

Cost of revenues

Our cost of revenues increased by 50.7% from RMB1,184.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 to RMB1,785.1 million (US$252.1 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as all components of cost of revenues increased due to our business growth and the expansion of our user base.

Content costs increased by 55.3% from RMB210.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 to RMB326.4 million (US$46.1 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as we continued to expand and diversify our content offerings.

Gross profit

As a result of the foregoing, we had gross profit of RMB530.5 million (US$74.9 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to gross profit of RMB189.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Our total operating expenses increased by 116.6% from RMB496.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 to RMB1,074.7 million (US$151.8 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2020, as sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, as well as research and development expenses increased due to our business growth and the expansion of our user base.

Sales and marketing expenses. Our sales and marketing expenses increased by 233.9% from RMB181.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 to RMB606.0 million (US$85.6 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily attributable to increased channel and marketing expenses associated with our app and brand, as well as promotional activities for our mobile games, and an increase in headcount in sales and marketing personnel.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by 33.4% from RMB128.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 to RMB171.4 million (US$24.2 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses increased by 59.8% from RMB186.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 to RMB297.3 million (US$42.0 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to increased headcount in research and development personnel.

Other income/(expenses)

Investment income/(losses), net.

Interest expense. Interest expense primarily represents interest payment and amortized issuance costs related to long-term debt. We had interest expense of RMB15.2 million (US$2.1 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily attributable to interest expense related to our 2026 Notes issued in April 2019, whereas we did not incur such interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

As of December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were RMB762.9 million, RMB3,540.0 million and RMB4,962.7 million. As of March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were RMB4,445.2 million (US$627.8 million). Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash at banks and cash held in accounts with third-party online payment platforms.

As of March 31, 2020, our principal sources of liquidity have been cash generated from operating activities, as well as the proceeds we received from our public offerings of ordinary shares and our offerings of convertible senior notes. Our financing activities primarily consist of issuance and sale of our shares and convertible senior notes to investors. In April 2019, we issued US$500 million in an aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026. Concurrently with the issuance of 2026 Notes, we also completed a registered offering of ADSs, where we offered 14,173,813 ADSs. In addition, in April 2020, we issued 17,310,696 Class Z ordinary shares to Sony Corporation of America for its investment of approximately US$400 million in cash.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. However, we may enhance our liquidity position or increase our cash reserve for future investments through additional capital and finance funding. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was RMB288.7 million (US$40.8 million), as compared to net loss of RMB538.6 million (US$76.1 million) in the same period. The difference was primarily due to an increase of RMB247.7 million (US$35.0 million) in accrued liabilities and other payables, an increase of RMB122.2 million (US$17.3 million) in deferred revenue and a decrease of RMB134.1 million (US$18.9 million) in accounts receivable, partially offset by a decrease of RMB92.7 million (US$13.1 million) in salary and welfare payable and an increase of RMB72.7 million (US$10.3 million) in prepayments and other assets. The changes in working capital were attributable to our business expansion, particularly, the expansion of our mobile games operations and VAS offerings, and the increase in sales and marketing expenses. The principal non-cash items affecting the difference between our net loss and our net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2020 were RMB363.5 million (US$51.3 million) in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and debt issuance costs, and RMB55.5 million (US$7.8 million) in share-based compensation expenses.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was RMB1.0 billion (US$146.5 million), primarily due to purchase of short-term investments of RMB6.2 billion (US$872.7 million), cash paid for long-term investments including loans of RMB456.1 million (US$64.4 million), and placement of time deposits of RMB263.1 million (US$37.2 million), partially offset by maturity of short-term investments of RMB5.3 billion (US$749.5 million) and maturities of time deposits of RMB824.0 million (US$116.4 million).

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was RMB188.8 million (US$26.7 million), primarily attributable to the proceeds we received from capital injection of RMB103.5 million (US$14.6 million) and short-term loans of RMB100.0 million (US$14.1 million).

Capital expenditures

Our capital expenditures are primarily incurred for purchases of intangible assets and property and equipment. Our capital expenditures were RMB283.3 million (US$40.0 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Purchases of intangible assets, which primarily consist of licensed copyrights of video content, accounted for 76.4% of our total capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2020.
