Third Quarter 202 5  Operational Highlights 

• Key Operating Metrics

	3 Q2 5	3 Q2 4	YoY %
MAUs – online music (million)	551	576	(4.3 %)
Paying users – online music (million)	125.7	119.0	5.6 %
Monthly ARPPU – online music (RMB)	11.9	10.8	10.2 %

Broadened music offerings in different genres and languages to further enrich our content ecosystem.

• Enhanced partnerships with renowned labels and artists to further expand our comprehensive music catalog. For example, 1) Renewed contracts with the Korean label DREAMUS, as well as popular artists including G.E.M., Jason Zhang, and Lay Zhang^[2], to strengthen our collection of top hits. 2) Formed strategic partnerships with renowned Japanese ACG label KING RECORDS and Korean label CEREAL, expanding our collection of anime soundtracks and Korean OSTs.
• Teamed up with leading game developers to broaden game-related music selection. 1) Partnered with Tencent Games to co-produce the Honor of Kings 10th-anniversary theme song, Atlas of Tomorrow, performed by JJ Lin. The success of the song garnered over 600 million social media mentions within two weeks of its release, standing out as one of the year's most impactful game soundtracks. 2) Entered into an inaugural collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment, introducing 50 original soundtracks from iconic game titles including World of Warcraft and Hearthstone.
• Deepened offerings to strengthen artist-fan connections. 1) The joint release of Lay Zhang's new digital album ROCK THE HEAVENLY PALACE and its collectible cards drove strong participation and purchases, earning it a spot among the 2025's top selling albums. 2) Produced the first physical album, My Odyssey, for Bai Lu, which generated high acclaim from fans and achieved strong sales.

Proven ability to stage live concerts enabled us to scale and extend services to international markets.

• Organized and staged large-scale concert tours, home and abroad. 1) After successfully hosting G-DRAGON's concerts G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] in the second quarter, we hosted 14 additional sold-out shows for him in the third quarter. Such shows expanded across six cities - including Sydney, Melbourne, and Kuala Lumpur, drawing over 150,000 attendees, significantly elevating our global presence. 2) Organized and supported major concert tours for renowned artists such as Fiona Sit, TIA RAY, Angela Zhang and GAI, amplifying their reach. Notably, we helped GAI upscale his concert from an arena-level to a stadium-level event.
• Expanded our proprietary concert IP portfolio with the launch of the TMElive International Music Awards (TIMA), celebrating international artists' achievements and enhancing our industry influence. The inaugural TIMA showcased 22 acclaimed artists and groups from China and a number of Asian countries — including acts by BILLKIN, PP KRIT, aespa and SMTR25, garnering over 20,000 attendees over two days. Meanwhile, our annual flagship TMEA 2025 attracted 35 artists and groups, drawing over 10,000 attendees and achieving remarkable online engagement.

Innovation and differentiated membership offerings improved user service and user loyalty.

• Remained at the forefront of designing delightful music journeys for users. 1) Integration of Apple's Liquid Glass mode on iOS26, Liquid Glass themes and player to Android, as well as full Harmony OS adaption significantly improved visual and interactive experiences. 2) Our AI-generated lyrics card function, and AI-powered seamless multi-mode song transition feature Automix, both of which enhanced immersive listening experiences.
• Multi-pronged membership offerings contributed to improved engagement and conversion. Across our freemium mode, ads membership, and standard membership, differentiated services were tailored to meet distinct user needs. Users can conveniently unlock additional tools and perks by opting for any plan that best suits their preferences. For example, our newly introduced ads membership observed a growing propensity among freemium users, with their daily time spent on the platform trending upward.

Both SVIP penetration and ARPPU further improved thanks to superior streaming experiences and enriching artist-related benefits.

• Accelerated the rollout and application of premium sound features. QQ Music's newly introduced three-dimensional immersive DTS Booming External Speaker and Kugou Music's Viper Ultra Sound 2.0 were widely adopted, highly effective in converting and sustaining SVIP.
• Leveraged user insights and rich content to widen innovative offerings. 1) Privileged access to digital albums and collectible NFC cards such as Eason Chan's FEAR and DREAMS as well as i-dle's self-titled Japanese EP was some of the key draws driving increased SVIP adoption. 2) Expanded Starlight cards with more popular artists line-ups to domestic and international audience was another success.
• Through bubble, we continued to enrich fan-artist connections. 1) Expanded bubble artist roster by onboarding 15 musicians from domestic labels including Hu Xia, NexT1DE, and R.E.D to enrich content diversity which in turn attracted a broader user base. Ongoing product feature iterations, such as AI-powered in-app localization, have also boosted user retention. 2) Introduced more fun and engaging badges to celebrate artists' key moments, fostering a deeper sense of connection and community.

Third  Quarter 202 5 Financial Review

Total revenues increased by RMB1.45 billion, or 20.6%, to RMB8.46 billion (US$1.19 billion) from RMB7.02 billion in the same period of 2024.

• Revenues from online music services increased by 27.2% to RMB6.97 billion (US$979 million), compared with RMB5.48 billion in the same period of 2024. The increase was driven by solid growth in music subscription revenues, supplemented by growth in revenues from offline performances, advertising services and artist-related merchandise. Revenues from music subscriptions were RMB4.50 billion (US$632 million), representing 17.2% year-over-year growth, compared with RMB3.84 billion in the same period of 2024. The rapid growth was mainly driven by the improved monthly ARPPU, which increased to RMB11.9 in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB10.8 in the same period of 2024. This growth of monthly ARPPU was primarily due to expansion of the SVIP membership program, as we continued to expand SVIP membership privileges for our users. Revenues from offline performances achieved robust year-over-year growth. We successfully hosted G-DRAGON's concerts across six cities, achieving strong ticket sales. The year-over-year increase in revenues from advertising was primarily due to our more diversified product portfolio and innovative ad formats, such as ad-supported mode. Additionally, revenues from artist-related merchandise also generate strong year-over-year growth.
• Revenues from social entertainment services and others decreased by 2.7% to RMB1.49 billion (US$210 million) from RMB1.54 billion in the same period of 2024.

Cost of revenues increased by 18.8% year-over-year to RMB4.78 billion (US$672 million), mainly due to increased costs related to offline performances, IP related costs, such as costs for artist-related merchandise, and advertising agency fees. Meanwhile, revenue sharing fees decreased, resulted from declines in both revenue sharing ratio and revenues from social entertainment services.

Gross margin increased to 43.5% from 42.6% in the same period of 2024, primarily due to increased revenues from music subscriptions and advertising services, alongside a lower revenue sharing ratio for social entertainment services, and partly offset by increased revenues from offline performances and artist-related merchandise.

Total operating expenses increased by 7.6% year-over-year to RMB1.31 billion (US$184 million). Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 15.5% from 17.4% in the same period of 2024. 

• Selling and marketing expenses were RMB260 million (US$37 million), representing an 18.2% year-over-year increase. The increase was primarily due to higher content promotion expenses and channel spending.
• General and administrative expenses were RMB1.05 billion (US$148 million), representing a 5.3% year-over-year increase. The increase was primarily due to growth in employee-related expenses.

Total  operating profit was RMB2.71 billion (US$381 million) in the third quarter of 2025, representing a 26.4% year-over-year increase.

Income tax expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were RMB477 million (US$67 million), compared with RMB367 million in the same period of 2024. We accrued withholding income tax of RMB118 million (US$17 million) in the third quarter of 2025.

For the third quarter of 2025, net profit was RMB2.21 billion (US$311 million) and net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was RMB2.15 billion (US$302 million). Non-IFRS net profit was RMB2.48 billion (US$348 million) and non-IFRS net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was RMB2.41 billion (US$338 million). Please refer to the section in this press release titled "Non-IFRS Financial Measure" for details.

Basic and diluted earnings per American Depositary Shares ("ADS") for the third quarter of 2025 were RMB1.40 (US$0.20) and RMB1.38 (US$0.19), respectively; non-IFRS basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB1.56 (US$0.22) and RMB1.54 (US$0.22), respectively. For the third quarter of 2025, the Company had weighted averages of 1.54 billion basic and 1.56 billion diluted ADSs outstanding, respectively. Each ADS represents two of the Company's Class A ordinary shares.

As of September 30, 2025, the combined balance of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, term deposits and short-term investments amounted to RMB36.08 billion (US$5.07 billion), compared with RMB34.92 billion as of June 30, 2025.

Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG")
In its seventh consecutive year, we added new elements to TME's Music Garden Space program to amplify its reach and impact. This time, we extended invitations to WeSing users to redeem their ads credits on our platform to support music creation. The campaign attracted 380,000 participants, mobilizing broader public support to make music more accessible.

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. TME 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. TME 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. TME 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 period excluding amortization of intangible and other assets arising from business acquisitions or combinations, share-based compensation expenses, net losses/gains from investments and related 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.

[1] 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 business acquisitions or combinations, share-based compensation expenses, net losses/gains from investments, and related income tax effects.
