Through the dedicated execution of our strategies, our advertising revenues increased by 36% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2023. Concurrently, our DAUs grew by 15% year-over-year to 96.5 million. Our users remain deeply engaged, with an average daily time spent of 94 minutes on Bilibili in the second quarter, increasing our users’ total time spent^2^ by 22% year-over-year. Looking towards the second half of 2023 and beyond, our priority remains achieving quality growth in our topline and user community. We are committed to reaching our break-even target while continuing to host the welcoming and inspiring video community for young generations in China.”
Mr. Sam Fan, chief financial officer of Bilibili, said, “In the second quarter, we achieved greater leverage through our operational efficiency enhancement. Our gross profit increased significantly by 66% year-over-year, driving our gross profit margin improved to 23% in the second quarter. Meanwhile, our total operating expenses and sales and marketing expenses declined by 14% and 22% respectively, both year-over-year. These approaches effectively led to a 51% year-over-year reduction in our adjusted net loss. Going forward, we will continue to concentrate on these approaches to grow our gross profit and advance towards profitability.”

Outlook Update
For the full year of 2023, the Company currently expects total net revenues to be between RMB22.5 billion and RMB23.5 billion. This compares with total net revenues expected between RMB24.0 billion and RMB26.0 billion as previously stated, which reflected the best information available at the time. The revised expectation is largely due to the delay of certain game launches, as well as lower than expected revenue contribution from non-core businesses such as IP derivatives and others.
The outlook is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company’s preliminary estimates, which are all subject to various uncertainties.
Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Total netrevenues. Total net revenues were RMB5.3 billion (US$731.5 million), representing an increase of 8% from the same period of 2022.
Value-addedservices (VAS). Revenues from VAS were RMB2.3 billion (US$317.4 million), representing an increase of 9% from the same period of 2022, led by an increase in the average revenues generated from each paying user for the Company’s value-added services, including live broadcasting and other value-added services.
Advertising. Revenues from advertising were RMB1.6 billion (US$216.9 million), representing an increase of 36% from the same period of 2022, mainly attributable to the Company’s improved advertising product offerings and enhanced advertising efficiency.
Mobile games. Revenues from mobile games were RMB890.9 million (US$122.9 million), representing a decrease of 15% from the same period of 2022, mainly attributable to the lack of new game launches as well as revenue declines from certain games in the second quarter of 2023.
IP derivatives andothers (formerly known as E-commerce and others). Revenues from IP derivatives and others were RMB538.7 million (US$74.3 million), representing a decrease of 10% from the same period of 2022, mainly attributable to a decrease in revenue from e-sports copyright sub-licensing.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues was RMB4.1 billion (US$562.2 million), representing a decrease of 2% from the same period of 2022. The decrease was mainly due to lower server and bandwidth costs and others costs. Revenue-sharing costs, a key component of cost of revenues, were RMB2.2 billion (US$309.1 million), representing an increase of 8% from the same period of 2022. Server and bandwidth costs represented a decrease of 11% from the same period of 2022.
Gross profit. Gross profit was RMB1.2 billion (US$169.3 million), representing an increase of 66% from the same period in 2022, primarily contributed by the Company’s improved operating leverage, as the Company enhanced its monetization efficiency.

2
Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were RMB918.2 million (US$126.6 million), representing a 22% decrease year-over-year. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced promotional spending related to user acquisition in the second quarter of 2023.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were RMB539.7 million (US$74.4 million), representing a 14% decrease year-over-year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in staff related cost in the second quarter of 2023.

Loss fromoperations. Loss from operations was RMB1.3 billion (US$176.2 million), narrowing by 42% from the same period of 2022.
Total other(expenses)/income, net. Total other expenses were RMB246.6 million (US$34.0 million), compared with total other income of RMB207.5 million in the same period of 2022.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per share and per ADS, basic and diluted, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions, income tax related to intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions, gain/loss on fair value change in investments in publicly traded companies, gain/loss on repurchase of convertible senior notes, expenses related to organizational optimization, and termination expenses of certain game projects. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.
5
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, cash flows or liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss attributable to the Bilibili Inc.’s shareholders, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions, income tax related to intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions, loss/gain on fair value change in investments in publicly traded companies, gain on repurchase of convertible senior notes, expenses related to organizational optimization, and termination expenses of certain game projects. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and 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 measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, cash flows or liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Our top priority for 2023 is to improve our commercialization efficiency and narrow our losses. In the first half of this year, we have made solid steps toward these goals. We meaningfully improved our gross profit and cut our losses, while continuing to deliver healthy DAU growth and strong community metrics.
In the first half of this year, we further improved our commercialization efficiency, enabling us to convert our growing traffic into quality revenue growth. The momentum we have seen in our advertising and live broadcasting business is encouraging. In the first half of 2023, our advertising revenues increased by 29% while our live broadcasting revenues grew by 23%, both on a year-over-year basis. Moreover, our gross profit increased by 51% year-over-year, driving our gross profit margin to 22.5% from 15.5% in the same period of last year. Meanwhile, we have strengthened our expense controls. Our total operating expenses declined by 13%, including a 26% decrease in sales and marketing expenses, a 4% decrease in general and administrative expenses and a 3% decrease in research and development expenses, all on a year-over-year basis. The advancements we made with our margin and effective cost management contributed to our improved bottom line. As a result, in the first half of 2023, our net loss and adjusted net loss narrowed by 49% and 45% year-over-year, respectively.
While we focused on improving our financial metrics, we continued to attract more users and enhance the engagement levels of our community. In the first half of this year, our DAUs grew by 17% year-over-year to over 95 million, while our monthly active users (“MAUs”) reached 319 million, driving our DAU/MAU ratio to 29.8%, up from 27.2% in the same period last year.

Content
Our content ecosystem continues to be our most prized asset. In the first half of 2023, we remained steadfast in our commitment to crafting a comprehensive video platform that empowers content creators and users to explore novel interests, earn recognition and forge connections. The diverse tapestry of Bilibili’s content verticals naturally unfurls in response to users’ evolving interests. These encompass domains such as automotive, home decoration and professional pursuits, mirroring the progressive journey of our young users through their various life phases. Furthermore, we have extended our content scenarios to align with users diversified video watching preferences. In addition to professional user-generated videos (“PUGVs”), live broadcasting and Smart TV, our short-form vertical video product, known as Story Mode, caters to our users’ video consumption needs during their fragmented time. In the first half of this year, our total daily video views increased by 34% year-over-year to 4.1 billion. Story Mode’s daily video views grew by 78% year-over-year, while PUGV average daily video views increased by 22% year-over-year. Story Mode has become one of the key video consumption scenarios for our users, contributing to growth in our DAUs and commercialization in areas such as advertising and live broadcasting.
Content creators are an essential component of our content ecosystem. Supporting our talented content creators’ visibility, as well as their ability to earn more money, are among our top tasks. In the first half of 2023, we continued to optimize our algorithms and products to facilitate high-quality content and enable creators to be recognized. The number of daily active content creators on our platform and our monthly content submissions increased by 30% and 61% year-over-year, respectively, in the first half of this year. By further integrating our commercial channels within our ecosystem, we continued to empower content creators to realize their commercial value through diverse avenues. In the first half of this year, over 2.1 million creators earned money through various Bilibili channels, representing a 41% increase year-over-year. In addition to our cash incentive program, more creators are earning income through multiple commercialization channels, such as advertising, live broadcasting, online paid courses and workshops.
We are also exploring the integration of AI applications within our content ecosystem. Utilizing AI-generated content (“AIGC”) can enhance both content creation efficiency and user experience. We believe it holds great promise and tremendous potential for the video industry. Leveraging these evolving technologies, we can further enrich our content supply, empowering our creators to bring their visions to life more easily and effectively. We are also beta testing new features powered by AIGC, including an AI-powered search feature, to further enhance user experience and offer personalized and captivating content that deeply engages our user community.
Community
The inspiring community atmosphere and diverse interactive features we provide are fostering strong connections between our users and our platform. The average daily time spent on our platform was 95 minutes in the first half of this year, the highest level for a first half year period in our operating history. Users’ monthly interactions reached around 14.6 billion in the first half of this year, up 17% year-over-year. As of the end of June 2023, our core group of official members also increased by 26% year-over-year to 214 million with a solid 12-month retention rate of around 80%.
Our signature offline events also bring our community together in person. This July, we hosted two exciting offline events: Bilibili World and Bilibili Macro Link in Shanghai. Over 200,000 tickets were sold out almost immediately. The tremendous response highlights Bilibili’s strong influence and leadership among young generations in China, as well as users’ strong willingness to pay for our unique community experiences.

Commercialization
In 2023, we focus on enhancing efficiency, improving gross profit and reducing losses. We have intensified the integration of commercial initiatives including advertising and live broadcasting throughout our ecosystem, and streamlined our resources toward our core commercial businesses. We remain steadfast in our commitment to achieving our financial goals, while nurturing a welcoming and inspiring user community.
Value-Added Services
Revenues from value-added services business were RMB4.5 billion in the first half of this year, representing an increase of 7% from the first half of 2022, primarily driven by the revenue growth of our live broadcasting business which increased by 23% year-over-year. We continue to integrate our live broadcasting capabilities within our video ecosystem. As one of the primary ways for creators to monetize their talent, more creators are making the transition to live broadcasting hosts. In the first half of this year, the number of monthly active live broadcasting hosts increased by 24% year-over-year. Meanwhile, we are exploring new live broadcasting products to create more paying channels for our users.
Meanwhile, we continued to enrich our occupationally-generated videos (“OGVs”) library and convert more users to premium memberships. By the end of June, we had around 20.5 million premium members. Over 80% of these were annual or auto-renew package subscribers, which represents users’ strong trust in our brand and content offerings.
Advertising
Revenues from advertising business were RMB2.8 billion in the first half of this year, representing an increase of 29% from the first half of 2022, mainly led by our performance-based advertising revenue growth, which increased by 58% year-over-year. Revenues from brand advertising and Sparkle advertising offerings also grew by double digit percentages year-over-year for the period. In the first half of 2023, we continued to expand and optimize our advertising product offerings. At the same time, we have been continuously building our commercial database and improving our ad algorithm to drive better results for our advertising clients. As we progress our initiative to integrate sales conversion with advertising products, we have found an effective way to convert our high-quality traffic to advertising revenue growth.
Mobile Games Services
Our revenues from mobile games services were RMB2.0 billion in the first half of this year, representing a decrease of 16% from the first half of 2022, mainly due to the lack of new game launches and revenue declines from certain games. The performance of our top two performing games, Azur Lane and Fate Grand Order, remained stable. Particularly, during Azur Lane’ssix-year anniversary, the game reached new peaks in paying users and revenues. We remain dedicated to our in-house development of high-quality games. We believe top-tier games built on a deep understanding of user needs can generate profitability over the long run.

Net revenues
Total net revenues were RMB10.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of 4% from RMB10.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Value-added services (VAS)
Revenues from VAS were RMB4.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of 7% from RMB4.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was led by an increased amount of average revenues generated from each paying user for the Company’s value-added services, including live broadcasting and other value-added services.
Advertising
Revenues from advertising were RMB2.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of 29% from RMB2.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was mainly attributable to the Company’s improved advertising product offerings and enhanced advertising efficiency.
Mobile games
Revenues from mobile games were RMB2.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of 16% from RMB2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, mainly attributable to the lack of new game launches as well as revenues decline from certain games for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
IP derivatives and others (formerly known as E-commerce and others)
Revenues from IP derivatives and others were RMB1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of 13% from RMB1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, mainly attributable to decreased revenue from e-sports copyright sub-licensing.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues was RMB8.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of 4% from RMB8.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to lower server and bandwidth costs and others costs. Revenue-sharing costs, a key component of cost of revenues, was RMB4.2 billion, remaining stable from RMB4.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Server and bandwidth costs represented a decrease of 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Gross profit
Gross profit was RMB2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of 51% from RMB1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the Company’s improved operating leverage, as the Company enhanced its monetization efficiency.
10
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses were RMB5.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of 13% from RMB5.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses were RMB1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a 26% decrease from RMB2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced promotional spending related to user acquisition for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were RMB1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a 4% decrease from RMB1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Totalother (expenses)/income, net
Total other income was RMB530.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with total other expenses of RMB56.1 million in the same period of 2022. The change was primarily attributable to a gain of RMB181.2 million on fair value change in investments in publicly traded companies for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a loss of RMB335.9 million on fair value change in investments in publicly traded companies for the same period of 2022.

Liquidity
Our cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and short-term investments decreased by 27% from RMB19.6 billion as of December 31, 2022 to RMB14.3 billion as of June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of 2027 Notes for a total cash consideration of US$745.9 million (RMB5.3 billion) during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
11
Significant Investments
The Group did not make or hold any significant investments during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Material Acquisitions and Disposals
The Group did not have any material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, consolidated affiliated entities or associated companies during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Foreign Exchange Exposure
A substantial majority of our revenues and costs is denominated in Renminbi. Any significant depreciation of the Renminbi may materially adversely affect the value of, and any dividends payable on, the ADSs in U.S. dollars. For example, when we convert our U.S. dollars denominated funds into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us. In addition, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi relative to U.S. dollars would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms regardless of any underlying change in our business or results of operations. Very limited hedging options are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to adequately hedge our exposure or at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert Renminbi into foreign currency.
Contingent Liabilities
The Company had no material contingent liabilities as at June 30, 2023.
Employees and Remuneration
As of June 30, 2023, we had a total of 10,354 employees, compared to 11,092 as of December 31, 2022.
As required under PRC regulations, the Company participates in housing funds and various employee social security plans that are organized by applicable local municipal and provincial governments, including housing funds, pension, maternity, medical, work-related injury and unemployment benefit plans, under which we make contributions at specified percentages of the salaries of its employees. We also purchase commercial health and accidental insurance for our employees. Bonuses are generally discretionary and based in part on employee performance and in part on the overall performance of the Group’s business. The Company has granted and plans to continue to grant share-based incentive awards to its employees in the future to incentivize their contributions to its growth and development.
12
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Compliance with the Corporate Governance Code
The Board is committed to achieving high corporate governance standards. The Board believes that high corporate governance standards are essential in providing a framework for the Company to safeguard the interests of shareholders and to enhance corporate value and accountability.
During the Reporting Period, we have complied with all the code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code (the “Corporate Governance Code”) set forth in Part 2 of Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”), save for the following.
Code provision C.2.1 of the Corporate Governance Code, recommends, but does not require, that the roles of chairperson and chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same person. The Company deviates from this code provision because Mr. Rui Chen performs both the roles of the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company. Mr. Chen has extensive experience in our business operations and management. The Board believes that vesting the roles of both chairman and chief executive officer to Mr. Chen has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within the Company and enables more effective and efficient overall strategic planning. This structure will enable the Company to make and implement decisions promptly and effectively.
The Board considers that the balance of power and authority will not be impaired due to this arrangement. In addition, all major decisions are made in consultation with members of the Board, including the relevant Board committees, and four independent non-executive Directors. The Board will reassess the division of the roles of chairman and the chief executive officer from time to time, and may recommend dividing the two roles between different people in the future, taking into account our circumstances as a whole.
Code provision F.1.1 of the Corporate Governance Code provides that an issuer should have a policy on payment of dividends and should disclose it in the annual report. The Company deviates from this code provision because the Company does not have a dividend policy. The Board has complete discretion on whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands law. Even if the Board decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. We do not have any present plan to pay any cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand our business.
13
Compliance with the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors
The Company has adopted the Management Trading of Securities Policy (the “Code”), with terms no less exacting than that of the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules, as its own securities dealing code to regulate all dealings by Directors and relevant employees of securities in the Company and other matters covered by the Code.
Specific enquiry has been made of all the Directors and the relevant employees and they have confirmed that they have complied with the Code during the Reporting Period and up to the date of this announcement.
Audit Committee
The audit committee consists of Eric He, JP Gan and Feng Li. Eric He is the chairman of our audit committee. The Company have determined that Eric He, JP Gan and Feng Li each satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(c)(2) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and meet the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, as amended. We have determined that Eric He qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.” The audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company.

In April 2018, the Company completed its initial public offerings on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. In March 2021, the Company successfully listed its Class Z ordinary shares on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Company issued a total 28,750,000 Class Z ordinary shares in the global offering, including the fully exercised over-allotment option of 3,750,000 Class Z ordinary shares. Net proceeds from the global offering, including the over-allotment option, after deducting underwriting fees and other offering expenses, were approximately HKD22.9 billion (RMB19.3 billion).
On October 3, 2022, the Company’s voluntary conversion of its secondary listing status to primary listing on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange became effective.
