“2020 concluded with an outstanding fourth quarter, as expansion of our user community and advancement of our monetization capabilities thrusted growth momentum even further, across the board,” said Mr.Yang Tao, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yalla. “Driven by the better-than-expected performance from our chatting services, we are pleased to report a sequential quarterly revenue increase of 42.9%, reaching US$48.3 million in the fourth quarter and exceeding the upper end of our guidance range.
“With the successful IPO event in Dubai generating extensive brand awareness in the Middle East and North Africa region, our highly experienced marketing team maximized this exposure by continually running innovative and deeply resonating campaigns, specifically tailored to the local culture. With these efforts, our MAUs increased 15.0% versus the previous quarter, reaching 16.4 million. In addition, paying users increased to 5.2 million and our user base monetization capability advanced in the quarter, demonstrated by rapid sequential ARPPU growth of 38.5% to reach US$9.2. As we continue ahead in 2021 with the goal of building the most popular destination for online social networking and entertainment in MENA, we are focused on three key priority areas: growing our Yalla community and cultivating a friendly and engaging environment, providing users with a quality and localized product experience, and diversifying our platform’s product portfolio to create brand extension and deeper loyalty,” concluded Mr.Yang.
“Our leadership position as a voice-centric social networking and entertainment platform in MENA is clearly being demonstrated by our robust top-line and bottom-line growth that continued in the quarter,” said Ms. Karen Hu, Chief Financial Officer of Yalla. “Our fourth quarter revenues grew 150.9% year-over-year to US$48.3 million while our non-GAAP net income reached US$23.3 million with growth of 181.6%.

With 2021 well underway, we are very confident we can deliver another year of sturdy growth and profitability as we continue to execute on our strategic roadmap.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenues
Our revenues were US$48.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, a 150.9% increase from US$19.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily driven by the widening of Yalla’s and Yalla Ludo’s user base and the robust enhancement in Yalla Ludo’s monetization capability. Our average MAUs increased by 295.4% from 4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 to 16.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Another primary contributor to our solid revenues growth was the significant growth in the number of paying users, which increased from 723 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2019 to 5.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, our revenues generated from chatting services were US$42.6 million and our revenues generated from the games services were US$5.7 million.
Costs and expenses
Our total costs and expenses were US$39.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with US$10.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of share-based compensation expenses.
Our cost of revenues was US$18.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with US$5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.The increase was mainly driven by (i) share-based compensation expenses of US$2.2 million recognized for the fourth quarter of 2020, and (ii) other components of cost of revenues of US$16.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, a 177.8% increase from US$5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, which was in line with our revenue growth and primarily due to our expanding business scale. Other components of cost of revenues as a percentage of our total revenues increased from 30.3% in the fourth quarter of 2019 to 33.6% in the same period in 2020, primarily due to (i) an increase in salaries and benefits for our staff related to the operations, which was in turn driven by an expansion of our staff related to the operations due to the increasing user base of our products, and (ii) an increase in commission fee for third-party payment platforms.

Our selling and marketing expenses were US$7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with US$3.1 million in the same period last year.

Other components of selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of our total revenues decreased from 16.0% in the fourth quarter of 2019 to 9.2% in the same period in 2020, primarily due to organic user acquisition through word-of-mouth referrals and economies of scale.
Our general and administrative expenses were US$11.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with US$1.6 million in the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ordinary share, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company’s operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define non-GAAP operating income as operating income excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP net income as net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders as net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) per ordinary share as non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Yalla Group Limited, using the two-class method, divided by weighted average number of basic and diluted share outstanding. We define non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ADS as non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share as one ADS represent one ordinary share.
10
By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures 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 measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation has been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
The Company compensate for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth at the end of this release.
