the boundaries of conventional MMO gaming.

strengthened our existing anti-addiction system and continue to steer the gaming ecosystem toward a healthier trajectory with innovative
products and technology.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Net
Revenues
Net
revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were RMB27.1 billion (US$3.8 billion), compared with RMB27.3 billion and RMB25.4 billion for the
preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively.
Net
revenues from games and related value-added services were RMB20.9 billion (US$2.9 billion) for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared
with RMB21.8 billion and RMB19.1 billion for the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively. Net revenues from the
operation of online games accounted for approximately 93.4% of the segment’s net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared
with 93.7% and 91.8% for the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively. Net revenues from mobile games accounted
for approximately 76.7% of net revenues from the operation of online games for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with 77.6% and 66.4%
for the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively.
Net
revenues from Youdao were RMB1.5 billion (US$208.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with RMB1.5 billion each for
the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022.
Net revenues from Cloud Music were RMB2.0 billion
(US$279.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with RMB2.0 billion and RMB2.4 billion for the preceding quarter and the fourth
quarter of 2022, respectively.
Net
revenues from innovative businesses and others were RMB2.8 billion (US$387.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared
with RMB2.0 billion and RMB2.4 billion for the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was
RMB16.8 billion (US$2.4 billion), compared with RMB17.0 billion and RMB13.2 billion for the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of
2022, respectively.
The
slight quarter-over-quarter decrease in games and related value-added services’ gross profit was primarily due to decreased
net revenues from online games. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased net revenues from online games such as Justice
mobile game, which was launched in 2023, and Eggy Party, offset in part by the termination of certain licensed games.
The
quarter-over-quarter decrease in Youdao’s gross profit was primarily due to decreased revenue contribution from its learning services.
The slight year-over-year decrease was primarily due to reduced revenue contribution from its smart devices, which was partially offset
by increased revenue contribution from its online marketing services.
The
quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases in Cloud Music’s gross profit primarily resulted from 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 contribution from Yanxuan and advertising
services.
Gross Profit Margin
Gross
profit margin for games and related value-added services for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 69.5%, compared with 69.0% and 59.1% for the
preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively. The slight quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily attributable
to changes in the revenue contribution from different channels. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to a higher proportion
of net revenues contributed by NetEase’s self-developed games.
Gross
profit margin for Youdao for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 49.9%, compared with 55.9% and 53.3% for the preceding quarter and
the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year decreases were mainly due to decreased revenue contribution
from its learning services and decreased gross profit margin from its smart devices.
Gross
profit margin for Cloud Music for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 30.3%, compared with 27.2% and 17.8% for the preceding quarter
and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year improvements were mainly due to the factors
enumerated above.
Gross
profit margin for innovative businesses and others for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 34.4%, compared with 27.3% and 31.5% for
the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to improved gross
profit margin from advertising services. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to improved gross profit margin from Yanxuan and advertising
services.
Operating Expenses
Total
operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were RMB10.0 billion (US$1.4 billion), compared with RMB9.4 billion and RMB8.8 billion
for the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increases were
mainly due to increased marketing expenditures and research and development investments associated with games and related value-added
services.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Other
income/(expenses) consisted of investment (loss)/income, interest income, exchange (losses)/ gains and others. The quarter-over-quarter
decrease was mainly due to a net investment loss resulting from fair value changes of equity investments with readily determinable fair
value in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with a net investment income recorded in the prior quarter, as well as a higher net
exchange loss arising from the fluctuation of the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the RMB in the fourth quarter of 2023. The
year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to higher interest income resulting from the improved net cash position.
Income Tax
The Company recorded a net income tax charge of
RMB1.1 billion (US$150.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with RMB1.3 billion and RMB966.6 million for the preceding
quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 13.8%, compared with 14.2%
and 20.2% for the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, 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 RMB6.6 billion (US$927.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with RMB7.8 billion and RMB4.0 billion
for the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively.
NetEase reported basic net income of US$0.29 per
share (US$1.44 per ADS) for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with US$0.34 per share (US$1.72 per ADS) and US$0.17 per share (US$0.86
per ADS) for the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively.
Non-GAAP
net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders totaled RMB7.4 billion (US$1.0 billion) for the
fourth quarter of 2023, compared with RMB8.6 billion and RMB4.8 billion for the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022,
respectively.
NetEase reported non-GAAP basic net income from
continuing operations of US$0.32 per share (US$1.62 per ADS) for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with US$0.38 per share (US$1.89
per ADS) and US$0.21 per share (US$1.05 per ADS) for the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively.
Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net
revenues for fiscal year 2023 were RMB103.5 billion (US$14.6 billion), compared with RMB96.5 billion for fiscal year 2022.
Net
revenues from games and related value-added services were RMB81.6 billion (US$11.5 billion) for fiscal year 2023, compared with
RMB74.6 billion for fiscal year 2022. Net revenues from the operation of online games accounted for approximately 92.9% of the segment’s
total net revenues for fiscal year 2023, compared with 92.5% for fiscal year 2022. Net revenues from mobile games accounted for approximately
75.2% of net revenues from the operation of online games for fiscal year 2023, compared with 67.0% for fiscal year 2022. The higher percentage
contribution from mobile games was mainly due to a higher proportion of net revenues generated by mobile games such as Eggy Party
and Justice mobile game.
Net revenues from Youdao were RMB5.4 billion (US$759.1
million) for fiscal year 2023, compared with RMB5.0 billion for fiscal year 2022.
Net revenues from Cloud Music were RMB7.9 billion
(US$1.1 billion) for fiscal year 2023, compared with RMB9.0 billion for fiscal year 2022.
Net
revenues from innovative businesses and others were RMB8.6 billion (US$1.2 billion) for fiscal year 2023, compared with RMB7.9
billion for fiscal year 2022.
Gross Profit
Gross
profit for fiscal year 2023 was RMB63.1 billion (US$8.9 billion), compared with RMB52.8 billion for fiscal year 2022.
The
year-over-year increase in games and related value-added services gross profit was primarily due to increased net revenues from
the operation of online games, mainly from certain newly launched mobile games.
The
year-over-year increase in Youdao gross profit was mainly due to increased revenue contribution from its online marketing services
and learning services.
The year-over-year increase in Cloud Music gross
profit was primarily attributable to increased net revenues from sales of membership subscriptions and continued improvement in cost control
measures.
The
year-over-year increase in innovative businesses and others gross profit was primarily due to increased gross profits from Yanxuan
and several other businesses included within the segment.
Operating Expenses
Total
operating expenses for fiscal year 2023 were RMB35.4 billion (US$5.0 billion), compared with RMB33.1 billion for fiscal year 2022.
The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher research and development investments and marketing expenditures for games and
related value-added services.
Other Income/(Expenses)
The
year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher interest income resulting from the Company’s increased net cash position,
and investment income arising from fair value changes of equity investments with readily determinable fair value. The foregoing was partially
offset by the fact that the Company recorded a net exchange loss in fiscal year 2023, compared to a net exchange gain in fiscal year 2022,
mainly resulting from the fluctuation of the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the RMB during the years.
Income Taxes
The
Company recorded a net income tax charge of RMB4.7 billion (US$661.9 million) for fiscal year 2023, compared with RMB5.0 billion
for fiscal year 2022. The effective tax rate was 13.8% for fiscal year 2023, compared with 20.7% for fiscal year 2022. The lower effective
tax rate for fiscal year 2023 was partially due to tax benefits recognized in the year.

shareholders for fiscal year 2023 totaled RMB29.4 billion (US$4.1 billion), compared with RMB20.3 billion for fiscal year 2022.

(US$4.6 billion), compared with RMB22.8 billion for fiscal year 2022.

reported non-GAAP basic net income from continuing operations of US$1.43 per share (US$7.14 per ADS) for fiscal year 2023, compared

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 from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders and non-GAAP basic and
diluted net income from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders as net income from continuing
operations attributable to the Company’s shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income from continuing
operations 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 from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations
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 from continuing operations 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.
