3Q24 Business Review and Outlook

Mini Programs’ GMV grew at a high teens year-on-year rate to over RMB 2 trillion in the third quarter of 2024, benefitting from better coverage and solutions for use cases such as food ordering, electric vehicle charging and medical services.We provided merchants with more traffic and transaction support through Mini Shops, a platform where merchants operate storefronts with indexed and standardised merchandise. Leveraging Weixin’s social interactions, content platforms and payment capabilities, Mini Shops help merchants to effectively reach customers and drive sales conversions.Utilising large language model capabilities, Weixin Search facilitated its understanding of complex queries and content, enhancing the relevance of search results. Weixin Search grew commercial queries and click-through rates year-on-year.The QQ team has comprehensively upgraded the platform’s back end infrastructure, and added and popularised new functionalities such as Tencent Channels, resulting in QQ mobile device MAU returning to year-on-year growth in the third quarter of 2024.Music subscriptions increased 16% year-on-year to 119 million[4], benefitting from enhanced recommendation algorithms, enriched content offerings and upgraded audio quality.Long-form video subscriptions increased 6% year-on-year to 116 million[5], benefitting from popular animated series and drama series.Our flagship evergreen games in domestic markets, Honour of Kings and Peacekeeper Elite, delivered healthy year-on-year growth in gross receipts. Other evergreen games, Naruto Mobile and VALORANT, reached new highs in quarterly average DAU. We released Delta Force, our first multi-platform first person shooter, which achieved high average user daily time spent and retention rates, demonstrating evergreen potential.In international markets, VALORANT expanded from PC to PlayStation and Xbox with the launch of its console version in five key international markets, contributing to the game growing gross receipts by over 30% year-on-year during the third quarter of 2024.We released Tencent Hunyuan Turbo, an upgraded foundation model utilising a heterogeneous Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, which doubled training and inference efficiency, and halved inference cost, versus its predecessor Tencent Hunyuan Pro.

3Q24 Management Discussion and Analysis

Revenues from VAS increased by 9% year-on-year to RMB82.7 billion for the third quarter of 2024. International Games revenues were RMB14.5 billion, up 9% year-on-year (or up 11% on a constant currency basis), due to robust performances from games including PUBG MOBILE and Brawl Stars. Revenue growth for International Games substantially lagged gross receipts growth, as improved retention rates for certain titles led to us elongating revenue deferral periods. Domestic Games revenues increased by 14% year-on-year to RMB37.3 billion, driven by games including VALORANT, Honour of Kings, Peacekeeper Elite and DnF Mobile. Social Networks revenues rose by 4% year-on-year to RMB30.9 billion, supported by growth in app-based game virtual item sales, music subscription revenues and Mini Games platform service fees, partially offset by a decline in music-related and games-related live streaming revenues.

Revenues from Marketing Services[6] were RMB30.0 billion for the third quarter of 2024, up 17% year-on-year, driven by robust advertiser demand for Video Accounts, Mini Programs and Weixin Search inventories and, to a lesser extent, contributions from Paris Olympics-related brand advertising. Advertising spending from the games and eCommerce categories increased year-on-year, which outweighed reduced spending from the real estate and food & beverage categories.

Revenues from FinTech and Business Services rose by 2% year-on-year to RMB53.1 billion for the third quarter of 2024. FinTech Services revenues in aggregate remained largely stable compared to the same quarter last year, within which wealth management services revenues increased year-on-year due to more users and higher aggregated customer assets while payment services revenues declined due to subdued consumption spending. Business Services revenues were up year-on-year, driven by growth in cloud services revenues and eCommerce technology service fees.
