Second Quarter 2024 Financial
Results
Total Revenues
Total revenues were US$79.6 million,
representing a decrease of 23.7% year-over-year. The decrease in total revenues was mainly attributable to the decreased revenues from
our live streaming business as a result of the downsizing of our domestic audio live streaming operations since June 2023.
Revenues from cloud computing
were US$26.4 million, representing a decrease of 13.8% year-over-year. The decrease in cloud computing revenues was mainly due to the
decreased revenues generated from certain of our major customers of the cloud computing services and a decline in sales of cloud computing
hardware devices.
Revenues from subscription were
US$32.9 million, representing an increase of 10.8% year-over-year. The increase in subscription revenues was mainly driven by the increase
in the number of subscribers. The number of subscribers was 5.71 million as of June 30, 2024, compared with 4.72 million as of June 30,
2023. The average revenue per subscriber for the second quarter was RMB39.5, compared with RMB42.9 in the same period of 2023. The lower
average revenue per subscriber was due to more promotional activities during the quarter.
Revenues from live streaming
and other IVAS were US$20.3 million, representing a decrease of 53.9% year-over-year. The decrease of live streaming and other IVAS revenues
was mainly due to the downsizing of our domestic audio live streaming operations since June 2023, which was partially offset by the increase
in the revenues from our overseas audio live streaming business.
Costs of Revenues
Costs of revenues were US$38.6
million, representing 48.5% of our total revenues, compared with US$58.1 million, or 55.7% of the total revenues, in the same period
of 2023. The decrease in costs of revenues was mainly attributable to the decreased revenue-sharing costs for our live streaming business,
as well as the decreased bandwidth costs incurred during this quarter.
Bandwidth costs, as included
in costs of revenues, were US$25.8 million, representing 32.4% of our total revenues, compared with US$28.9 million, or 27.7% of the
total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the enhanced utilization efficiency and the decrease in
revenues from cloud computing service during the quarter.
The remaining costs of revenues
mainly consisted of costs related to the revenue-sharing arrangement for our live streaming business, payment handling charges, cost
of inventories sold and depreciation of servers and other equipment.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit
Margin
Gross profit for the second quarter
of 2024 was US$40.7 million, representing a decrease of 11.3% year-over-year. Gross profit margin was 51.10% in the second quarter, compared
with 44.0% in the same period of 2023. The decrease in gross profit was mainly driven by the decreased gross profit from our live streaming
business, partially offset by the increased gross profit from our subscription business. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily
due to the higher portion of subscription revenues, which have a higher gross profit margin, and the lower portion of live streaming
revenues, which have a relatively lower gross profit margin.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses
for the second quarter were US$17.5 million, representing 21.9% of our total revenues, compared with US$17.2 million, or 16.5% of our
total revenues, in the same period of 2023.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses
for the second quarter were US$10.9 million, representing 13.7% of our total revenues, compared with US$15.4 million, or 14.7% of our
total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in marketing expenses incurred for our live
streaming business as result of the downsizing of our domestic audio live streaming operations since June 2023.
General and Administrative
Expenses
General and administrative expenses
for the second quarter were US$11.2 million, representing 14.1% of our total revenues, compared with US$12.4 million, or 11.9% of our
total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased share-based compensation expenses, partially
offset by the increase in labor costs during the quarter.
Operating Income
Operating income was US$1.0 million,
compared with an operating income of US$0.9 million in the same period of 2023. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable
to the decreased in marketing expenses and share-based compensation expenses, partially offset by the decrease in gross profit from our
live streaming business during the quarter.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net was US$2.5
million, compared with other income, net of US$4.7 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction
in exchange gains and subsidy income received during the quarter.
Net Income and Earnings Per
ADS
Net income was US$2.5 million,
compared with US$5.0 million in the same period of 2023. Non-GAAP net income was US$3.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared
with US$8.4 million in the same period of 2023. The decreases of net income and non-GAAP net income were primarily attributable to the
decrease in gross profit and other income, partially offset by the decrease in operating expenses as discussed above.
Diluted earnings per ADS in the
second quarter of 2024 was approximately US$0.04 as compared to US$0.08 in the same period of 2023.
Cash Balance
As of June 30, 2024, the Company
had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of US$263.4 million, compared with US$272.5 million as of March 31, 2024.
The decrease was mainly due to the net cash outflow from operating activities, spending on share buybacks and payment for the construction
of Xunlei headquarters.
Share Repurchase Program
On June 6, 2023, Xunlei announced
that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to US$20 million of its shares over the next 12 months. As of June 30,
2024, the Company had spent approximately US$4.7 million on share buybacks under the aforesaid share repurchase program.

that its Board of Directors had authorized a new plan for the repurchase of up to US$20 million of its shares over the next 12 months.

Guidance for the Second Quarter
of 2024

Xunlei estimates total revenues to be between US$81 million and US$86 million, and the midpoint of the range represents a quarter-over-quarter

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Xunlei's consolidated
financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Xunlei uses
the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission: (1) non-GAAP operating
income, (2) non-GAAP net income, (3) non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share for common shares, and (4) non-GAAP basic and diluted
earnings per ADS. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Xunlei believes that these non-GAAP
financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance by excluding
share-based compensation expenses, which is not expected to result in future cash payments. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate
management's internal comparisons to Xunlei's historical performance and assist the Company's financial and operational decision making.
A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charge that
has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a recurring expense in Xunlei's results of operations. Management compensates
for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying
reconciliation tables at the end of this release include details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most
directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has presented.
