Pattern Detected

Earnings headlines have typically driven noticeable moves, with an average absolute reaction of about 4.06% on same-tag events, and past reports often showing positive revenue trends with variable profit contribution from non-operating items.

Recent Company History

Recent earnings releases for Weibo have generally shown stable to modestly growing revenues, with mixed profit trends influenced by non-operating gains and margin shifts. Prior quarters reported net revenues in the $437–465M range, MAUs consistently above 580M, and operating margins around the high-20s to low-30s. The current Q1 2026 report, with net revenues of $421.3M, higher advertising but lower VAS and sharply lower net income, fits into a pattern of resilient top line but more volatile bottom line performance.

Key Terms

non-gaap, adjusted ebitda, u.s. gaap, convertible senior notes, +1 more

5 terms

non-gaap financial

"This release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP income from operations..."

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

adjusted ebitda financial

"and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to..."

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

u.s. gaap financial

"measures of the Company's financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP."

U.S. GAAP is a set of rules and standards that companies in the United States follow to prepare their financial reports. It helps ensure that financial information is consistent and clear, so investors and others can compare and understand a company's financial health easily.

convertible senior notes financial

"amortization of issuance cost of convertible senior notes, unsecured senior notes and long-term loans."

Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.

unsecured senior notes financial

"amortization of issuance cost of convertible senior notes, unsecured senior notes and long-term loans."

Unsecured senior notes are loans a company sells to investors that promise regular interest and return of principal but are not backed by specific assets as collateral; they have higher repayment priority than many other debts if the company defaults. They matter to investors because they balance relatively higher claim on repayment with greater risk than secured debt, so their interest rate and recovery prospects reflect that trade-off — like holding a higher-priority IOU without a pledged safety net.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

For the first quarter of 2026, Weibo's total net revenues were US$421.3 million, an increase of 6% compared to US$396.9 million for the same period last year.

Advertising and marketing revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were US$369.8 million, an increase of 9% compared to US$339.1 million for the same period last year. Advertising and marketing revenues excluding advertising revenues from Alibaba were US$326.5 million, an increase of 10% compared to US$296.5 million for the same period last year. The increase mainly resulted from favorable foreign exchange impact on the reported numbers as well as incremental advertising demand from certain sectors, such as internet services, automobile and local services. Advertising and marketing revenues from Alibaba were US$43.3 million, an increase of 2% compared to US$42.6 million for the same period last year.

VAS revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were US$51.6 million, a decrease of 11% compared to US$57.7 million for the same period last year, primarily due to less revenue contribution from game-related business.

Costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2026 totaled US$310.4 million, an increase of 8% compared to US$286.5 million for the same period last year, mainly due to the increase of ad production cost and marketing expense, partially offset by the decrease of general and administrative expense.

Income from operations for the first quarter of 2026 was US$110.9 million, compared to US$110.3 million for the same period last year. Operating margin was 26%, compared to 28% last year. Non-GAAP income from operations was US$119.8 million, compared to US$129.5 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating margin was 28%, compared to 33% last year.

Non-operating loss for the first quarter of 2026 was US$59.9 million, compared to non-operating income of US$22.1 million for the same period last year. Non-operating loss for the first quarter of 2026 mainly included (i) loss from fair value change of investments of US$35.0 million, which was excluded under non-GAAP measures; and (ii) net interest and other loss of US$24.9 million, which included equity pick up losses of US$22.1 million.

Income tax expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were US$15.7 million, compared to US$24.3 million for the same period last year. The decrease in tax expenses in the first quarter of 2026 was mainly due to the reversal of US$6.7 million deferred tax liability related to equity pick up losses which was recognized in prior periods.

Net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders for the first quarter of 2026 was US$34.7 million, compared to US$107.0 million for the same period last year. Diluted net income per share attributable to Weibo's shareholders for the first quarter of 2026 was US$0.14, compared to US$0.41 for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders for the first quarter of 2026 was US$91.9 million, compared to US$119.5 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to Weibo's shareholders for the first quarter of 2026 was US$0.34, compared to US$0.45 for the same period last year.

As of March 31, 2026, Weibo's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled US$2.59 billion. For the first quarter of 2026, cash provided by operating activities was US$164.0 million, capital expenditures totaled US$11.9 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses amounted to US$15.5 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders, non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to Weibo's shareholders and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of the Company's financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, net results of impairment and provision on investments, gain/loss on sale of investments and fair value change of investments, non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items for the income/loss attributable to non-controlling interests, income tax expense related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions and fair value change of investments (other non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items have no tax effect), and amortization of issuance cost of convertible senior notes, unsecured senior notes and long-term loans. Adjusted EBITDA represents non-GAAP net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders before interest income/expense, net, income tax expenses/benefits, and depreciation expenses.

The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their financial and operating decision-making, because management believes these measures reflect the Company's ongoing operating performance in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in the following ways: (i) in comparing the Company's current financial results with the Company's past financial results in a consistent manner, and (ii) in understanding and evaluating the Company's current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains/losses and other items (i) that are not expected to result in future cash payments or (ii) that are non-recurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results and business outlook.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures do not include all income and expense items that affect the Company's operations. They may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how the Company defines its non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures are set forth in the section below titled "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Results."
