"We delivered a healthy 18% year-over-year growth in subscription revenues with paying users exceeding 80 million in the first quarter, as supported by our dual engine content-and-platform strategy.

We are encouraged by the increasing benefits our original content production investments and Tencent Musician Platform have brought to our users, musicians and the overall content ecosystem. With these initiatives, we continue to make critical investments that align with our long-term strategic goals and create sustainable value for all our music stakeholders."
"In the first quarter, we continued to build an immersive music entertainment ecosystem, bringing music lovers innovative possibilities for how they listen, watch, sing and play. With the goal of creating a sense of belonging that makes our products a must-have, we look for ways to address the multi-faceted needs of diverse user cohorts," said Mr. Ross Liang, CEO of TME.

This, in turn, will help us better serve hundreds of millions of music lovers, music creators and the music industry as a whole, and unlock the massive opportunity in front of us," concluded Mr. Liang.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues for the first quarter of 2022 decreased by RMB1.18 billion, or 15.1%, to RMB6.64 billion (US$1.05 billion) from RMB7.82 billion in the same period of 2021.
| · | Revenues from online music services for the first quarter of 2022 decreased by 4.8% to RMB2.62 billion (US$413 million) from RMB2.75 billion in the same period of 2021. Revenues from music subscriptions were RMB1.99 billion (US$314 million), representing a 17.8% growth compared to RMB1.69 billion in the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to the increase in the number of paying users by 31.7%. ARPPU decreased from RMB9.3 in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB8.3 this quarter. The decrease in ARPPU was mainly due to promotions offered to attract users. We are focusing on the quality growth of our subscription revenue while maintaining a stable ARPPU. Revenues from advertising decreased on a year-over-year basis due to the impact from industry adjustments on splash ads and the COVID-19 pandemic in some major cities. Sublicensing revenues also decreased on a year-over-year basis due to restructuring of agreements with certain music labels. |
| · | Revenues from social entertainment services and others for the first quarter of 2022 decreased by 20.6% to RMB4.03 billion (US$635 million) from RMB5.08 billion in the same period of 2021. On a year-over-year basis, ARPPU increased by 8.1% in the first quarter of 2022, while paying users of social entertainment services decreased by 26.5%. The decrease was mainly due to the impact of evolving macro environment and increased competition from other pan-entertainment platforms. |
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the first quarter of 2022 decreased by 10.7% to RMB4.78 billion (US$755 million) from RMB5.36 billion in the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in revenue sharing fees and agency fees resulting from decrease in revenues from social entertainment services and advertising services while the revenue sharing ratio remained stable on a year over year basis. Content costs also decreased as a result of improved efficiency.
4
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2022 decreased by 24.6% to RMB1.86 billion (US$293 million) from RMB2.47 billion in the same period of 2021. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2022 decreased by 3.5% to 28.0% from 31.5% in the same period of 2021. This decrease in gross margin was primarily because revenue from online music accounted for a higher percentage of revenue, which typically has a lower gross margin.
Operating Expenses for the Period
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2022 decreased by 13.7% to RMB1.34 billion (US$212 million) from RMB1.56 billion in the same period of 2021. Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues slightly increased to 20.2% in the first quarter of 2022 from 19.9% in the same period of 2021. After excluding the impact from the post-acquisition awards, share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Lazy Audio, operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues would have decreased by 0.4% year-over-year.
| · | Selling and marketing expenses were RMB330 million (US$52 million), representing a decrease of 50.9% year-over-year from RMB672 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to tighter control over marketing expenses and optimization of the overall promotion structure to improve operating efficiency. We continued to effectively manage external promotion channels’ efficiency and better utilize internal traffic to attract users and promote our brand. |
| · | General and administrative expenses were RMB1.01 billion (US$160 million), representing an increase of 14.6% year-over-year from RMB883 million in the same period of 2021. The increase was mainly due to increased investment in research and development to expand our competitive advantages in product and technology innovations. Meanwhile, we are closely monitoring employee related expenses and improving headcount efficiency. Post-acquisition awards, share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Lazy Audio also contributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses. |
Operating Profit for the Period
Operating profit was RMB749 million (US$118 million) in the first quarter of 2022, compared to an operating profit of RMB1.16 billion in the same period of 2021.
Income Tax Expenses
Effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2022 was 12.2%, compared to 11.5% in the same period of 2021. The increase in effective tax rate was mainly because some of our entities are entitled to different tax benefits in 2021 and 2022.
5
Net Profit and Non-IFRS Net Profit for the Period
Net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the first quarter of 2022 was RMB609 million (US$96 million), compared to a net profit of RMB926 million in the same period of 2021. Non-IFRS net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was RMB899 million (US$142 million) for the first quarter of 2022, compared to RMB1.18 billion in the same period of 2021. Please refer to the section in this press release titled "Non-IFRS Financial Measure" for details.
Earnings per ADS
Basic and diluted earnings per American Depositary Shares ("ADS") were RMB0.37 (US$0.06) and RMB0.37(US$0.06), respectively, for the first quarter of 2022. Non-IFRS basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB0.55 (US$0.09) and RMB0.54 (US$0.09), respectively, for the first quarter of 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company had weighted averages of 1.64 billion basic and 1.65 billion diluted ADSs outstanding, respectively. Each ADS represents two of the Company's Class A ordinary shares.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Term Deposits and Short-term Investments
As of March 31, 2022, the combined balance of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, term deposits and short-term investments amounted to RMB25.93 billion (US$4.09 billion), compared to RMB24.69 billion as of December 31, 2021. The increase in cash, cash equivalents, term deposits and short-term investments was primarily due to cash flows generated from operations of RMB2.49 billion (US$393 million), partially offset by cash used in the purchase of land use right and share repurchases. Such combined balance was also affected by the change in the exchange rate of RMB to USD at different balance sheet dates. The exchange rate was 6.3393 to 1 on March 31, 2022.
Share Repurchase Program
Pursuant to the 2021 Share Repurchase Program announced on March 28, 2021, as of May 13, 2022, we have repurchased approximately 73.3 million ADSs from the open market with cash for a total consideration of approximately US$674 million.

Non-IFRS Financial Measure
The Company uses non-IFRS net profit for the period, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. TME believes that non-IFRS net profit helps identify underlying trends in the Company's business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that the Company includes in its profit for the period. TME believes that non-IFRS net profit for the period provides useful information about its results of operations, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Non-IFRS net profit for the period should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to operating profit, net profit for the period or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review non-IFRS net profit for the period and the reconciliation to its most directly comparable IFRS measure. Non-IFRS net profit for the period presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company's data. TME encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Non-IFRS net profit for the period represents profit for the period excluding amortization of intangible and other assets arising from acquisitions, share-based compensation expenses, net losses/gains from investments and income tax effects.
Please see the "Unaudited Non-IFRS Financial Measure" included in this press release for a full reconciliation of Non-IFRS net profit for the period to its net profit for the period.
