Fourth Quarter of 2024 Financial Results
Net revenues
Total net revenues were RMB2,636.5 million (US$361.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of 12.2% from RMB3,002.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Live video service revenues were RMB1,264.9 million (US$173.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of 17.0% from RMB1,523.9 million during the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to our proactive operational adjustments to de-emphasize large scale competition events in the Momo app and a soft consumer sentiment in the current macro environment, and to a lesser degree, Tantan pivoting away from the less dating-centric live video service.
Value-added service revenues mainly include virtual gift revenues and membership subscription revenues. Total value-added service revenues were RMB1,326.8 million (US$181.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of 6.9% from RMB1,424.9 million during the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to our product adjustments to improve Momo app's ecosystem as well as the impact of the macro economy on consumer sentiment, and to a lesser extent, the decline in Tantan's paying users which was in turn due to the decline in user base. The decrease was partially offset by the revenue growth from the new standalone apps.
Mobile marketing revenues were RMB43.6 million (US$6.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to RMB44.9 million during the same period of 2023.
Net revenues from the Momo segment decreased from RMB2,728.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 to RMB2,423.1 million (US$332.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in net revenues from live video service and value-added service on Momo app. The decrease was partially offset by the revenue growth of the new standalone apps. Net revenues from the Tantan segment decreased from RMB272.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 to RMB213.4 million (US$29.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly due to the decrease in net revenues from live video service and value-added service.
Cost and expenses
Cost and expenses were RMB2,407.8 million (US$329.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of 1.0% from RMB2,431.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to: (a) a decrease in revenue sharing with broadcasters related to live video service on Momo app and Tantan app, and a decrease in revenue sharing with virtual gift recipients of virtual gift service on Momo app. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenue sharing with virtual gift recipients for new standalone apps; and (b) a decrease in salary expenses and share-based compensation expenses, due to our continuous optimization in personnel costs and the newly granted share options which had lower fair value. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of RMB 94.1 million (US$12.9 million) in production costs in connection with films.
Non-GAAP cost and expenses (note 1) were RMB2,364.6 million (US$323.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to RMB2,369.5 million during the same period of 2023.
Other operating income, net
Other operating income was RMB8.0 million (US$1.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to RMB30.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to reduced government incentives and input VAT super deduction in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Income from operations
Income from operations was RMB236.7 million (US$32.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to RMB602.0 million during the same period of 2023. Income from operations of the Momo segment was RMB226.4 million (US$31.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, which decreased from RMB576.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Income from operations of the Tantan segment was RMB11.1 million (US$1.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, which decreased from RMB26.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Non-GAAP income from operations (note 1) was RMB279.9 million (US$38.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to RMB664.2 million during the same period of 2023. Non-GAAP income from operations of the Momo segment was RMB269.4 million (US$36.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, which decreased from RMB638.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP income from operations of the Tantan segment was RMB11.4 million (US$1.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to RMB27.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Income tax expenses
Income tax expenses were RMB89.5 million (US$12.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to RMB183.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in income tax expenses was primarily due to the lower profit in the third quarter of 2024, and to a lesser extent, lower withholding tax rate due to our eligibility for a preferential tax rate since the beginning of the year.

Net income was RMB187.2 million (US$25.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to RMB452.5 million during the same period of 2023.

Note 1: Non-GAAP measures

Our non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information to help investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors' overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of our continuing operations and our prospects for the future. Our non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to the GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.
Our non-GAAP information (including non-GAAP cost and operating expenses, income from operations, net income, net income attributable to Hello Group Inc., and diluted net income per ADS) is adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, and such adjustments has no impact on income tax.
