Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were
RMB25.5 billion (US$3.5 billion), compared with RMB26.9 billion and RMB24.0 billion for the preceding quarter and the same quarter of
2023, respectively.
Net revenues from games and related value-added
services were RMB20.1 billion (US$2.8 billion) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB21.5 billion and RMB18.8 billion for the
preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively. Net revenues from the operation of online games accounted for approximately
96.1% of the segment’s net revenues for the second quarter of 2024, compared with 95.2% and 91.7% for the preceding quarter and
the same quarter of 2023, respectively. Net revenues from mobile games accounted for approximately 76.4% of net revenues from the operation
of online games for the second quarter of 2024, compared with 78.6% and 73.6% for the preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023,
respectively.
Net revenues from Youdao were RMB1.3 billion (US$181.9
million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1.4 billion and RMB1.2 billion for the preceding quarter and the same quarter
of 2023, respectively.
Net revenues from Cloud Music were RMB2.0 billion
(US$280.8 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB2.0 billion and RMB1.9 billion for the preceding quarter and the same
quarter of 2023, respectively.
Net revenues from innovative businesses and others
were RMB2.1 billion (US$284.5 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB2.0 billion and RMB2.1 billion for the preceding
quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 was
RMB16.0 billion (US$2.2 billion), compared with RMB17.0 billion and RMB14.4 billion for the preceding quarter and the same quarter of
2023, respectively.
The quarter-over-quarter decrease in games and
related value-added services’ gross profit was primarily due to lower net revenues from certain mobile games. The year-over-year
increase was primarily due to increased net revenues from mobile games such as Identity V and Justice mobile game, launched
in 2023.
The quarter-over-quarter decrease in Youdao’s
gross profit was primarily due to lower net revenues from its learning services. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher
net revenues from its online marketing services.
The quarter-over-quarter decrease in Cloud Music’s
gross profit primarily resulted from the one-off adjustment of certain copyright costs in the preceding quarter. The year-over-year increase
was primarily due to increased net revenues from sales of membership subscriptions and continued improvement in cost control measures.
The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases
in innovative businesses and others’ gross profit were primarily due to increased gross profit from Yanxuan and several other businesses
included within the segment.
Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit margin for games and related value-added
services for the second quarter of 2024 was 70.0%, compared with 69.5% and 67.4% for the preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023,
respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases were mainly attributable to changes in product mix.
Gross profit margin for Youdao for the second
quarter of 2024 was 48.2%, compared with 49.0% and 47.0% for the preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter
decrease was mainly due to decreased revenue contribution from its learning services. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the
improvement of gross profit margin from its online marketing services.
Gross profit margin for Cloud Music for the second
quarter of 2024 was 32.1%, compared with 38.0% and 27.0% for the preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter
and year-over-year fluctuations were mainly due to the factors enumerated above. The one-off adjustment of copyright costs mentioned above
increased the gross profit margin in the preceding quarter by approximately five percentage points.
Gross profit margin for innovative businesses
and others for the second quarter of 2024 was 34.0%, compared with 33.4% and 29.5% for the preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023,
respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases were mainly due to changes in the product mix within the segment.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the second quarter
of 2024 were RMB9.0 billion (US$1.2 billion), compared with RMB9.4 billion and RMB8.3 billion for the preceding quarter and the same quarter
of 2023, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to decreased marketing expenditures related to games and related
value-added services. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to increased research and development investments and marketing expenditures
associated with games and related value-added services.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Other income/(expenses) consisted of investment
income, interest income, exchange gains/(losses) and others. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decreases were mainly due to
net exchange losses in the second quarter of 2024 compared with net exchange gains recorded in the preceding quarter and the same quarter
of 2023.
Income Tax
The Company recorded a net income tax charge of
RMB1.3 billion (US$179.0 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1.5 billion and RMB712.1 million for the preceding
quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 16.0%, compared with 16.0%
and 8.0% for the preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate represents certain estimates by
the Company as to the tax obligations and benefits applicable to it in each quarter.
Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income
Net income attributable to the Company’s
shareholders totaled RMB6.8 billion (US$930.0 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB7.6 billion and RMB8.2 billion
for the preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively.

shareholders totaled RMB7.8 billion (US$1.1 billion) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB8.5 billion and RMB9.0 billion for
the preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively.

net cash (total cash and cash equivalents, current and non-current time deposits and restricted cash, as well as short-term investments
balance, minus short-term and long-term loans) totaled RMB116.1 billion (US$16.0 billion), compared with RMB110.9 billion as of December 31,

Under the Company’s current dividend policy,
the determination to make dividend distributions and the amount of such distribution in any particular quarter will be made at the discretion
of its board of directors and will be based upon the Company’s operations and earnings, cash flow, financial condition and other
relevant factors.

that its board of directors had approved a share repurchase program of up to US$5.0 billion of the Company’s ADSs and ordinary shares
in open market transactions. This share repurchase program commenced on January 10, 2023 and will be in effect for a period not to

a total cost of US$1.1 billion.
The extent to which NetEase repurchases its ADSs
and its ordinary shares depends upon a variety of factors, including market conditions. These programs may be suspended or discontinued

Forward Looking Statements
This announcement contains statements of a forward-looking
nature. These statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. You can identify these forward-looking statements by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions.
In addition, statements that are not historical facts, including statements about NetEase’s strategies and business plans, its expectations
regarding the growth of its business and its revenue and the quotations from management in this announcement are or contain forward-looking
statements. NetEase may also make forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”), in announcements made on the website of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Stock Exchange”),
in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. The
accuracy of these statements may be impacted by a number of business risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected or anticipated, including risks related to: the risk that the online games market will not continue to
grow or that NetEase will not be able to maintain its position in that market in China or globally; risks associated with NetEase’s
business and operating strategies and its ability to implement such strategies; NetEase’s ability to develop and manage its operations
and business; competition for, among other things, capital, technology and skilled personnel; potential changes in government regulation
that could adversely affect the industry and geographical markets in which NetEase operates; the risk that NetEase may not be able to
continuously develop new and creative online services or that NetEase will not be able to set, or follow in a timely manner, trends in
the market; risks related to economic uncertainty and capital market disruption; risks related to the expansion of NetEase’s businesses
and operations internationally; risks associated with cybersecurity threats or incidents; and the risk that fluctuations in the value
of the Renminbi with respect to other currencies could adversely affect NetEase’s business and financial results. Further information
regarding these and other risks is included in NetEase’s filings with the SEC and announcements on the website of the Hong Kong
Stock Exchange. NetEase does not undertake any obligation to update this forward-looking information, except as required under applicable
law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
NetEase considers and uses non-GAAP financial
measures, such as non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS
and per share, as supplemental metrics in reviewing and assessing its operating performance and formulating its business plan. The presentation
of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared
and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
NetEase defines non-GAAP net income attributable
to the Company’s shareholders as net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders excluding share-based compensation
expenses. Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders enables NetEase’s management to assess its operating
results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses. NetEase believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provide
useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s current operating performance and prospects in the
same manner as management does, if they so choose. NetEase also believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure facilitates investors’
assessment of its operating performance.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under
U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of
the key limitations of using non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders is that it does not reflect all items
of expense/ income that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in NetEase’s
business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders. In addition,
the non-GAAP financial measures NetEase uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies,
and therefore their comparability may be limited.
NetEase compensates for these limitations by reconciling
non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should
be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. See the unaudited reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results at the end
of this announcement. NetEase encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Notes:
Basis of Preparation
The Company is responsible for preparation of
the Reconciliation Statement in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and relevant guidance in
HKEX-GL111-22. The Reconciliation Statement was prepared based on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial information
for the six months ended June 30, 2024 prepared under U.S. GAAP, with material adjustments made (if any) thereto in arriving at the
unaudited financial information of the Company prepared under IFRSs. The adjustments reflect the material differences between the Company’s
accounting policies under U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.
Note a. Investments measured at fair value
Under U.S. GAAP, the investments in convertible
redeemable preferred shares and ordinary shares with preferential rights that are issued by privately-held companies and therefore without
readily determinable fair values could be accounted for using measurement alternative as an accounting policy choice. NetEase elected
the measurement alternative to record these investments at cost, less impairment, and plus or minus subsequent adjustments for observable
price changes.
Under IFRSs, these investments were classified
as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through profit
or loss.
Note b. Redeemable noncontrolling interests
Under U.S. GAAP, SEC guidance provides for mezzanine-equity
(temporary equity) category in addition to the financial liability and permanent equity categories. The purpose of this “in-between”
category is to indicate that a security whose redemption is outside the control of the issuer may not be classified as a permanent part
of equity. NetEase classified the redeemable preferred shares issued by certain subsidiaries as redeemable noncontrolling interests in
the condensed consolidated balance sheets and recorded them initially at fair value, net of issuance costs. NetEase recognized accretion
to the respective redemption value of the redeemable preferred shares over the period starting from issuance date to the earliest redemption
date.
Under IFRSs, there is no concept of mezzanine
or temporary equity classification. NetEase designated the redeemable preferred shares as financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss which are measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, the amounts of changes in fair value that were attributed
to changes in credit risk of the issuer were recognized in other comprehensive income, and the remaining amounts of changes in fair value
were recognized in the profit or loss.
