Mr. Yusheng Sun, CEO of Phoenix New Media, stated, “During the second quarter of 2024, we continued to establish ourselves as a leading new media outlet. We focused on strengthening our team's professional capabilities, producing quality content, refining our products, and optimizing user experience. Simultaneously, we kept exploring new commercial opportunities, creating new marketing solutions, attracting new clients, and exploring additional advertising revenue streams. We are committed to further improving our operational efficiency and monetization capabilities to strengthen our position.”
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
REVENUES
Total revenues in the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 6.6% to RMB168.3 million (US$23.2 million) from RMB180.2 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to the year-over-year decline in both the Company’s net advertising revenues and paid services revenues.
Net advertising revenues in the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 4.4% to RMB154.7 million (US$21.3 million) from RMB161.8 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the reduction in advertising spending of advertisers from certain industries and the intensified industry-wide competition.
Paid services revenues in the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 26.1% to RMB13.6 million (US$1.9 million) from RMB18.4 million in the same period of 2023. Paid services revenues comprise (i) revenues from paid contents, mainly including digital reading, audio books, and paid videos, and (ii) revenues from E-commerce and others. Revenues from paid contents in the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 20.3% to RMB5.9 million (US$0.8 million) from RMB7.4 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the decrease in the content spending of certain customers in the second quarter of 2024. Revenues from E-commerce and others in the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 30.0% to RMB7.7 million (US$1.1 million) from RMB11.0 million in the same period of 2023, as the Company scaled down its E-commerce business in 2023.
COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS PROFIT
Cost of revenues in the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 17.2% to RMB102.9 million (US$14.2 million) from RMB124.3 million in the same period of 2023, as a result of the Company’s strict cost control measures.
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2024 increased by 17.0% to RMB65.4 million (US$9.0 million) from RMB55.9 million in the same period of 2023. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2024 was 38.9%, as compared to 31.0% in the same period of 2023.
To supplement the financial measures presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, which excluded the impact of certain reconciling items as stated in the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below. The related reconciliations to GAAP financial measures are presented in the accompanying “Unaudited Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results of Operation Measures to the Nearest Comparable GAAP Measures.”
Non-GAAP gross margin in the second quarter of 2024, which excluded share-based compensation, increased to 38.9% from 31.4% in the same period of 2023.
OPERATING EXPENSES AND LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 18.9% to RMB74.3 million (US$10.2 million) from RMB91.6 million in the same period of 2023, primarily attributable to the decrease in allowance for expected credit losses as the Company reversed some allowance for expected credit losses in the second quarter of 2024 due to the collection of some long-aged accounts receivables and the decrease in certain operating expenses as a result of the Company’s strict cost control measures.
Loss from operations in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB8.9 million (US$1.2 million), compared to loss from operations of RMB35.7 million in the same period of 2023. Operating margin in the second quarter of 2024 was negative 5.3%, compared to negative 19.8% in the same period of 2023.

Non-GAAP operating margin in the second quarter of 2024, which excluded share-based compensation, was negative 5.3%, compared to negative 18.8% in the same period of 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), Phoenix New Media Limited uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income or loss from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited, non-GAAP net margin and non-GAAP net income or loss per basic and diluted ADS, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP income or loss from operations is income or loss from operations excluding share-based compensation. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income or loss from operations divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited is net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited excluding share-based compensation, income or loss from equity investments, including impairment and fair value changes in investments, net. Non-GAAP net margin is non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by total revenues. Non-GAAP net income or loss per basic and diluted ADS is non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited divided by weighted average number of basic and diluted ADSs. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the aforementioned non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with the related GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that using these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business allows both management and investors to assess the Company’s performance against its competitors and ultimately monitor its capacity to generate returns for investors. The Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of items like share-based compensation, income or loss from equity investments, including impairment, and fair value changes in investments, net, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring items. However, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company’s gross profit, income or loss from operations and net income or loss attributable to Phoenix New Media Limited for the period. In addition, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as an alternative to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
