DouYu (Nasdaq: DOYU) reported unaudited second quarter 2026 net revenues of RMB981.1 million, down 6.9% year-over-year, with livestreaming revenues falling 13.0% to RMB503.0 million and innovative business, advertising and other revenues edging up 0.4% to RMB478.1 million.

Gross profit rose 12.0% to RMB159.0 million, lifting gross margin to 16.2%, driven by lower revenue-sharing, content and bandwidth costs.

Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) was RMB13.5 million. Average MAUs for DouYu Livestreaming were 45.4 million, while the voice-based social networking business generated revenues of RMB272.3 million.

Key Terms

4 terms
non-gaap financial
"Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP)1 in the second quarter of 2026"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
View in glossary
maus technical
"Average MAUs2 of DouYu Livestreaming were 45.4 million"
Monthly active users (often abbreviated MAUs) counts the number of distinct people who use a digital product or service at least once during a 30-day period. Investors use it like a foot-traffic counter for an online business: rising MAUs suggest growing reach and potential sales, while falling MAUs can signal weakening engagement and future revenue risk. It helps gauge how well a company attracts and retains real, repeat customers over time.
arppu financial
"with a quarterly ARPPU of RMB283"
Average revenue per paying user (ARPPU) measures the average amount of money a company earns from each customer who actually pays for its product or service during a set period. Investors use it to understand how well a company turns active customers into revenue—like checking the average bill per diner rather than just counting guests—so rising ARPPU suggests stronger pricing or upselling while a drop can signal weakening monetization.
ads financial
"Basic and diluted net loss per ADS5 in the second quarter"
Ads are paid promotional messages a company places across media — online, on TV, in print, or on social platforms — to attract customers, explain products, or shape public perception. For investors, ads matter because they drive sales growth, affect how much a company must spend to win customers, and influence brand strength and long-term value. Ads can also create regulatory or reputational risk if claims are misleading, which can affect profits and stock price.

WUHAN, China, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DouYu International Holdings Limited ("DouYu" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: DOYU), a leading game-centric live streaming platform in China and a pioneer in the eSports value chain, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

  • Total net revenues in the second quarter of 2026 were RMB981.1 million (US$144.6 million), compared with RMB1,053.9 million in the same period of 2025.
  • Gross profit in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB159.0 million (US$23.4 million), compared with RMB141.9 million in the same period of 2025.
  • Loss from operations in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB21.3 million (US$3.1 million), compared with income from operations of RMB14.2 million in the same period of 2025.
  • Net loss in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB72.4 million (US$10.7 million), compared with net income of RMB37.8 million in the same period of 2025.
  • Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP)1 in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB13.5 million (US$2.0 million), compared with adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of RMB25.3 million in the same period of 2025.

Ms. Simin Ren, Chief Executive Officer of DouYu, commented, "In the second quarter, despite a challenging external environment, we made steady progress across several fronts. Livestreaming revenues returned to sequential growth, while user engagement improved, underscoring the resilience of our core livestreaming ecosystem. Our innovative business, advertising and other revenues continued to grow, reflecting sustained momentum in our revenue diversification efforts. During the quarter, we successfully hosted the DouYu Carnival, which has provided initial validation of the long-term value of our proprietary IPs in strengthening our streamer portfolio, boosting brand awareness and deepening our collaboration with game studios. Going forward, we expect to maintain a focused and disciplined approach to investment, while continuing to improve the quality, cost efficiency and monetization of our events and content offerings. Through these efforts, we aim to further strengthen our livestreaming business and support healthy and sustainable growth across our platform."

Mr. Hao Cao, Vice President of DouYu, commented, "In the second quarter, our total net revenues grew 19.4% quarter-over-quarter, and the year-over-year decline continued to narrow. Driven by the optimization of our revenue mix and improved cost efficiency, gross profit increased by 12.0% year-over-year and gross margin improved to 16.2%. At the same time, concentrated spending on major brand and content events elevated operating expenses during the quarter. Moving forward, we expect to continue to invest with discipline, supporting the development of our core content ecosystem and innovative businesses while continuously improving our operating quality and financial resilience to drive improvement in profitability."

Second Quarter 2026 Operational Highlights

  • Average MAUs2 of DouYu Livestreaming were 45.4 million, increasing 2.6% sequentially. The broadly stable sequential performance reflects the Company's efforts in content and event offerings during the quarter among continued headwinds in user retention and engagement.
  • The number of quarterly average paying users3 for the live-streaming-related business was 2.3 million, with a quarterly ARPPU of RMB283. This represents a year-over-year decrease in paying users, primarily attributable to weaker consumer spending amid the prevailing macroeconomic environment, and fewer promotional activities resulting from adjustments to the platform's operational strategy.
  • Revenues from DouYu's voice-based social networking business reached RMB272.3 million. Average MAUs for the voice-based social networking business were 314,300, with 66,200 monthly average paying users4. During the quarter, DouYu optimized social networking experiences and refined resource allocation for the voice-based social networking business. These efforts helped balance the business's profitability with a healthy community ecosystem, in line with the Company's expectations.
  • During the second quarter, DouYu successfully executed a number of key operating initiatives, leveraging the strengths of its community, streamer ecosystem and content operations. DouYu continued to invest in proprietary IP events, including the DouYu Carnival, which brought together a broad range of game studios and industry partners and featured eSports events, streamer meet-and-greets and interactive offline experiences. The event further enhanced DouYu’s brand awareness and deepened the platform’s connections with game studios, streamers, industry partners and users. On the monetization front, DouYu’s PGC events, such as FarmUP Camp S2, attracted tens of millions of viewers and delivered solid monetization performance.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Livestreaming revenues in the second quarter of 2026 decreased by 13.0% to RMB503.0 million (US$74.1 million) from RMB577.8 million in the same period of 2025, primarily attributable to a decrease in quarterly average paying users amid continued moderation in consumer spending and changes in the mix of promotional activities.

Innovative business, advertising and other revenues in the second quarter of 2026 increased by 0.4% to RMB478.1 million (US$70.5 million) from RMB476.1 million in the same period of 2025, primarily attributable to higher gaming membership revenues, partially offset by lower revenues from the Company's voice-based social networking service and advertising.

Revenue-sharing fees and content costs in the second quarter of 2026 decreased by 14.2% to RMB623.7 million (US$91.9 million) from RMB727.3 million in the same period of 2025, primarily driven by reduced content costs as part of the Company's cost optimization efforts and lower revenue-sharing fees resulting from decreased livestreaming revenues.

Bandwidth costs in the second quarter of 2026 decreased by 2.9% to RMB47.2 million (US$7.0 million) from RMB48.6 million in the same period of 2025, primarily attributable to improved bandwidth allocation and a year-over-year decrease in peak bandwidth usage.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2026 increased by 12.0% to RMB159.0 million (US$23.4 million) from RMB141.9 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to lower revenue-sharing fees and content costs, as well as reduced bandwidth costs.

Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2026 increased by 102.6% to RMB124.8 million (US$18.4 million) from RMB61.6 million in the same period of 2025, primarily attributable to increased branding and promotional expenses associated with major brand and content initiatives.

General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2026 decreased by 18.6% to RMB32.4 million (US$4.8 million) from RMB39.8 million in the same period of 2025, primarily attributable to lower staff-related expenses.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated as net income (loss) adjusted for share of income (loss) in equity method investments and impairment losses and fair value adjustments on investments. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to DouYu is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to DouYu adjusted for share of income (loss) in equity method investments and impairment losses and fair value adjustments on investments. Adjusted basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share. The Company adjusted the impact of (i) share of income (loss) in equity method investments and (ii) impairment losses and fair value adjustments on investments to understand and evaluate the Company's core operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations as analytical metrics and may not be 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 non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for, or superior to, such metrics in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” near the end of this release.
