7 terms
american depositary share financial
"Net Income per American Depositary Share attributable to Ordinary Shareholders"
An American Depositary Share (ADS) is a U.S.-listed certificate that represents a specified number of shares in a foreign company, held by a custodian bank; it works like a receipt that allows U.S. investors to buy and trade foreign equity on American exchanges without dealing with another country’s markets. Investors care because ADSs make foreign stocks easier to access, improve liquidity and settlement in dollars, and can affect dividend payments, voting rights and regulatory oversight compared with buying the underlying foreign shares directly.
platform-as-a-service technical
"Real-Time Engagement Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), providing developers with..."
A platform-as-a-service is a cloud-based product that provides developers with ready-made tools, computing power and storage to build, run and manage software without owning the underlying hardware or plumbing. Think of it like renting a fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals instead of buying appliances and renovating a home. For investors, it matters because these platforms often generate steady, repeatable revenue, scale efficiently as users grow, and can create customer stickiness that supports long-term margins and valuation.
paas technical
"Real-Time Engagement Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), providing developers with..."
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a cloud offering that provides developers with ready-made tools, computing power, and hosting so they can build, test, and run software without buying or managing the underlying servers and software stack. For investors, PaaS matters because it can drive predictable subscription revenue, lower customer costs of adoption, and scale rapidly — think of renting a fully equipped kitchen that lets chefs open more restaurants faster without building each kitchen from scratch.
dollar-based net retention rate financial
"Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate is calculated for a trailing 12-month period..."
Dollar-based net retention rate measures how much recurring revenue a company keeps and grows from its existing customers over a set period, after accounting for upgrades, downgrades, and churn. Think of it like checking whether a group of current customers are spending more, the same, or less this year compared with last year; investors use it as a thermometer for revenue health and the business’s ability to expand sales without finding new customers.
contract assets financial
"Contract assets | 123 | | 1,099"
Contract assets are amounts a company has earned by doing work or delivering goods under a customer agreement but has not yet billed or collected because certain contract conditions remain. Think of it as completed work sitting in a company’s toolbox waiting for an invoice trigger. For investors, growing contract assets signal future cash and revenue potential but also raise questions about timing, cash collection risk and the real strength of reported sales.
current expected credit loss financial
"decrease in allowance for current expected credit loss, mainly as a result of..."
An accounting approach that requires lenders and companies to estimate and record the credit losses they expect on loans and receivables now, using current conditions and reasonable forecasts rather than waiting for a default to occur. It matters to investors because it changes reported reserves and profits up front and gives an earlier, more forward-looking signal of credit quality—like packing an umbrella today because the forecast predicts rain, which affects a company’s cushion against bad loans.
operating lease right-of-use assets financial
"Operating lease right-of-use assets | 2,145 | | 3,866"
An operating lease right-of-use (ROU) asset is an accounting entry that shows the value of a leased item you have the legal right to use—like a building, vehicle, or equipment—recorded on a company’s balance sheet along with the corresponding lease obligation. Investors care because it adds to reported assets and liabilities, changing measures like leverage and return on assets much like bringing a long-term rental onto the company’s financial snapshot, which can affect credit terms and valuation.

Operating Metrics

The Company also uses other operating metrics included in this press release and defined below to assess the performance of its business.

Active Customers

An active customer at the end of any period is defined as an organization or individual developer from which the Company generated more than $100 of revenue during the preceding 12 months, excluding customers from Easemob. Customers are counted based on unique customer account identifiers. Generally, one software application uses the same customer account identifier throughout its life cycle while one account may be used for multiple applications.

Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate

Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate is calculated for a trailing 12-month period by first identifying all customers in the prior 12-month period, and then calculating the quotient from dividing the revenue generated from such customers in the trailing 12-month period by the revenue generated from the same group of customers in the prior 12-month period. As the vast majority of revenue generated from Agora’s customers is denominated in U.S. dollars, while the vast majority of revenue generated from Shengwang’s customers is denominated in Renminbi, Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate is calculated in U.S. dollars for Agora and in Renminbi for Shengwang, which has substantially removed the impact of foreign currency translations. Shengwang excluded the revenues from certain end-of-sale products. The Company believes Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.
