the preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively.
The quarter-over-quarter increase in games and related value-added services’
gross profit was primarily due to higher net revenues from PC games. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to decreased net revenues
from mobile games.
The
quarter-over-quarter increase in Youdao’s gross profit was primarily due to higher net revenues from sales of smart devices
and learning services. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to decreased net revenues from its learning services.
The
year-over-year increase in NetEase Cloud Music’s gross profit was primarily due to increased net revenues from sales of membership
subscriptions and continued improvement in cost control measures.
The
quarter-over-quarter decrease in innovative businesses and others’ gross profit was primarily due to decreased e-commerce
gross profit from Yanxuan. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased gross profit from several businesses included within
the segment.
Gross Profit Margin
Gross
profit margin for games and related value-added services for the third quarter of 2024 was 68.8%, compared with 70.0% and 69.0%
for the preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decreases were mainly
attributable to changes in product mix.
Gross
profit margin for Youdao for the third quarter of 2024 was 50.2%, compared with 48.2% and 55.9% 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.
Gross
profit margin for NetEase Cloud Music for the third quarter of 2024 was 32.8%, compared with 32.1% and 27.2% for the preceding
quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases were mainly due to increased
net revenues from sales of membership subscriptions and continued improvement in cost control measures.

profit margin for innovative businesses and others for the third quarter of 2024 was 37.8%, compared with 34.0% and 27.3% for the
preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases were mainly due to
increased gross profit margins from several businesses included within the segment.

Total
operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were RMB9.3 billion (US$1.3 billion), compared with RMB9.0 billion and RMB9.4
billion for the preceding quarter and the same quarter of 2023, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to increased
marketing expenditures related to games and related value-added services.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Other
income/(expenses) consisted of investment income, interest income, exchange (losses)/gains and others. The quarter-over-quarter
and year-over-year decreases were mainly due to higher net exchange losses in the third quarter of 2024.
Income Tax
The
Company recorded a net income tax charge of RMB1.3 billion (US$183.8 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1.3

by the Company as to the tax obligations and benefits applicable to it in each quarter.

relevant factors.

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.
