Third Quarter 2022 Unaudited Financial Results
Net revenues were RMB565.2 million (US$79.5 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 12% from RMB504.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to the growth in average user spending on our audio entertainment products. While certain regions have started to ease the COVID-19 related restrictions, given the uncertainties as to the development of the pandemic, it is difficult to predict the extent to which it might impact the Company’s operations beyond the third quarter of 2022. This will depend on the COVID-19’s development in China and overseas, which may be subject to changes and uncertainties.
Cost ofrevenues was RMB376.2 million (US$52.9 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing a 6% increase from RMB353.6 million in the third quarter of 2021, mainly attributable to an increase in the revenue sharing fees to our content creators as the Company’s revenues grew, and partially offset by decreases in the salary and welfare benefits expenses related to decreases in our operation’s headcount and share-based compensation expenses.

Operating expenses were RMB176.6 million (US$24.8 million) in the third quarter of 2022, compared to RMB191.3 million in the third quarter of 2021.
Research and development expenseswere RMB78.3 million (US$11.0 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 7% from RMB73.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the higher salary and welfare benefits expenses and rental expenses.
S elling and marketing expenses were RMB71.2 million (US$10.0 million) in the third quarter of 2022, compared to RMB88.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, primarily attributable to the decrease in branding and marketing expenses, partially offset by the increased salary and welfare benefits expenses.

G eneral and administrative expenses were RMB27.1 million (US$3.8 million) in the third quarter of 2022, compared to RMB29.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, mainly driven by a decrease in share-based compensation expenses and other miscellaneous expenses.

Litigation Update
On October 1, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “Federal Court”) dismissed in full a putative securities class action that had been filed against the Company and denied the plaintiff’s request for leave to amend the complaint. The Federal Court’s dismissal follows the March 2022 dismissal of a substantively similar putative class action filed in the New York Supreme Court, New York County (the “State Court”). Both lawsuits were filed in January 2021 on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of the Company’s ADSs and alleged that LIZHI’s registration statement on Form F-1 dated January 16, 2020 contained material misstatements and/or omissions regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company in violation of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. Both the Federal Court and the State Court granted the Company’s motions to dismiss all claims, concluding that LIZHI’s registration statement was not misleading as a matter of law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
LIZHI uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss/income, non-GAAP net loss/income, non-GAAP net loss/income attributable to LIZHI INC.’s ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss/income per ADS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of net revenues. Non-GAAP operating loss/income is operating loss/income excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net loss/income is net loss/income, excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net loss/income attributable to LIZHI INC.’s ordinary shareholders is net loss/income attributable to LIZHI INC.’s ordinary shareholders, excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss/income per ADS is non-GAAP net loss/income attributable to LIZHI INC.’s ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of ADS used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss/income per ADS. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the non-cash impact of the above reconciling item adds clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measure for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the non-cash effect of share-based compensation expenses.
However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company’s net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured 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 non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, superior to, or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” near the end of this release.
