Tencent Music Entertainment Group Announces First Quarter 2021 Unaudited Financial Results
SHENZHEN, China, May 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Tencent Music Entertainment Group ("Tencent Music," "TME," or the "Company") (NYSE: TME), the leading online music and audio entertainment platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Financial and Operational Highlights
In the three months ended March 31, 2021:
| · | Online music paying users reached 60.9 million, increasing by 42.6% year-over-year. On a sequential basis, the number of online music paying users grew by 4.9 million, the largest quarterly net increase since 2016. Paying ratio was 9.9%, up from 8.0% and 9.0% in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively. |
| · | Total revenues were RMB7.82 billion (US$1.19 billion), representing an increase of 24.0% year-over-year. |
| · | Online music services revenues grew by 34.5% year-over-year. Revenues from music subscriptions were RMB1.69 billion (US$258 million), representing 40.2% year-over-year growth. Revenues from advertising services recorded over 100% year-over-year growth. |
| · | Net profit of the Company was RMB979 million (US$149 million) and net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was RMB926 million (US$141 million). |
| · | Non-IFRS net profit of the Company1 was RMB1.24 billion (US$188 million) and Non-IFRS net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company1 was RMB1.18 billion (US$180 million). |
"2021 began on a solid note as we hit multiple milestones across the spectrum of our business, while investing in future initiatives aimed at improving our long-term positioning. For online music services, our revenue growth accelerated quarter-over-quarter, driven by strong momentum in music subscriptions and advertising services. Net addition of online music paying users reached a record high of 4.9 million during the quarter, and the quarterly paying ratio was 9.9%. With a focus on community building, and expanding content coverage, whether mainstream or new hits, licensed or self-produced, and audio or video, we will broaden and deepen our engagement with users," said Mr. Cussion Pang, Executive Chairman of Tencent Music. "Our social entertainment services delivered a solid performance in the first quarter against the backdrop of an evolving and challenging environment, and we will strive to sharpen our edge in this space. For our long-form audio business, we have made significant breakthroughs, with 20% of our music MAUs listening to long-form audio in the first quarter, which allows us to further advance our evolution into an all-in-one online music and audio entertainment destination in China. Looking into the future, we are committed to revitalizing our overall user engagement, sustaining the trend toward music subscriptions, and nurturing strategic activities such as long-form audio," concluded Mr. Pang.
_______________
1 Non-IFRS net profit and Non-IFRS net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was arrived at after excluding the combined effect of amortization of intangible assets and other assets arising from acquisitions, share-based compensation expenses, net losses/gains from investments, fair value change on puttable shares and income tax effects.

Recent Operational Highlights
| · | TME's online music and social entertainment services key operating metrics* |
| 1Q21 | 1Q20 | YoY % | |
| Mobile MAU - online music (million) | 615 | 657 | (6.4%) |
| Mobile MAU - social entertainment (million) | 224 | 261 | (14.2%) |
| Paying users - online music (million) | 60.9 | 42.7 | 42.6% |
| Paying users - social entertainment (million) | 11.3 | 12.9 | (12.4%) |
| Monthly ARPPU - online music (RMB) | 9.3 | 9.4 | (1.1%) |
| Monthly ARPPU - social entertainment (RMB) | 149.7 | 110.3 | 35.7% |
| · | The year-over-year decline in online music mobile MAUs was primarily due to some churn of our casual users served by pan-entertainment platforms. For our core music users, they have become more engaged with our platform, as evidenced by a year-over-year increase in total music user time spent during the first quarter of 2021. In addition, our services offered in a wider range of use cases will better cater to evolving user demand and improve user engagement. |
| · | While social entertainment mobile MAUs declined year-over-year, reflecting the changing competitive landscape, both MAUs and daily active users increased on a quarterly basis for the first quarter of 2021. |
| · | Riding on the popularization of smart devices, we are actively expanding potential user coverage for all our services in IoT devices. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, IoT MAUs through in-car systems, smart speakers, TV and other connected devices were 69 million, representing an increase of 50.0% year-over-year. |
| · | We further strengthened our content offering by enriching our music offering in both variety and size: |
| - | Enhanced coverage of genres such as hip-hop, Chinese ancient style, music for popular television programs, variety shows and online games has enabled us to boost user engagement amongst the younger generation: a) we strived to build a wider audience for hip-hop in China through the program Rappers’ Alliance while providing both rising and top-tier established rappers with stage and publicity support as well as commercialization opportunities; b) we continued to invest in Chinese ancient style music and advocated the popularity of the Chinese traditional culture, by providing content creation and promotion venues for a number of renowned musicians in this genre and in many cases, helping promote their works to the top of music charts; c) the highly acclaimed theme song "Battle For Glory" for "PUBG Mobile” that we jointly created with Tencent Games, was another example of our collaboration efforts with the broader Tencent ecosystem. |
| - | In May, we announced the multi-year extension of the digital distribution agreement with Sony Music Entertainment (“SME”), exploring new ways of music marketing and promotion of new artists, as well as deepening our reach to Japanese pop culture fans in China. |
2
| - | On a year-over-year basis, the number of artists on our Tencent Musician Platform more than doubled to over 200,000, and their music streaming volume recorded double-digit growth for the first quarter of 2021. |
| · | With a music-centric approach, we upgraded our products to be more social, personalized and visually appealing during the first quarter of 2021: |
| - | Putong Community has continued to gain popularity, growing in user penetration and retention rate quarter-over-quarter, and has become one of the leading channels for fan-idol interaction and content promotion. |
| - | Kugou Fans Club has also drawn many leading artists, labels and content IPs to interact with their fans live, resulting in an increasing proportion of young users in this community, as well as sequential increases in penetration and time spent per user. |
| · | For long-form audio, we made noteworthy progress in both our integrated and standalone approaches, as well as its monetization during the first quarter of 2021: |
| - | After exceeding 100 million MAUs at the end of 2020, MAU penetration reached 20.0% compared to 5.5% in the first quarter of 2020. We also witnessed a positive impact from long-form audio on our users and their levels of engagement. |
| - | Significantly enriched long-form audio content offering with the number of licensed titles more than quadrupled year-over-year. |
| - | Accelerated the addition of PUGC and UGC long-form audio content. QQ Music launched the Ground Zero Podcast program, which offers financial resources and tools that enable original podcast content creation. |
| - | In March 2021, we completed the acquisition of Lazy Audio and started consolidation. We also integrated Kuwo Changting with Lazy Audio to form Lanren Changting in April, a new brand for our long-form audio business. |
| - | We recently started our foray into ad-based monetization giving our users easy access to a vast amount of high-quality audio content. |
[*] For the definitions of the cited key operating metrics, please refer to the introduction section in the Company's 2020 20-F filed on April 9, 2021. The monthly ARPPU of social entertainment services is calculated based on revenues from social entertainment services and others, including advertising services provided on our social entertainment platforms.

| · | Revenues from online music services for the first quarter of 2021 increased by 34.5% to RMB2.75 billion (US$420 million) from RMB2.04 billion in the same period of 2020. The increase was driven by strong growth in music subscription revenues, supplemented by growth in advertising service revenues, partially offset by decrease in sublicensing revenues. Revenues from music subscriptions were RMB1.69 billion (US$258 million), a 40.2% growth compared to RMB1.21 billion in the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to increase in number of paying users by 42.6% year over year. |

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the first quarter of 2021 increased by 23.6% to RMB5.36 billion (US$818 million) from RMB4.33 billion in the same period of 2020, primarily due to increased content costs related to royalties and revenue sharing fees.

Net Profit and Non-IFRS Net Profit for the Period
Net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the first quarter of 2021 was RMB926 million (US$141 million), compared to net profit of RMB887 million in the same period of 2020.

The decrease in the combined balance was primarily due to increased cash used in investing activities and financing
5
activities, primarily related to payment for acquisition of Lazy Audio, investment in a consortium to acquire a minority equity interest in UMG and repurchase of ordinary shares, partially offset by the maturity of term deposit and cash flow generated from operations of RMB1.88 billion (US$287 million). The Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was also affected by the change in the exchange rate of RMB to USD at different balance sheet dates. The exchange rate was 6.5518 to 1 on March 31, 2021.
Share Repurchase Program

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. Tencent Music 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. Tencent Music 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. Tencent Music 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 year excluding amortization of intangible and other assets arising from acquisitions, share-based compensation expenses, net losses/gains from investments, fair value change on puttable shares 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.
