    Revenues
    Total revenues were $40.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 0.7% from $40.4 million in the same period last year, primarily due to significant decrease in usage from the K12 academic tutoring sector in certain market following regulatory changes and a decrease in revenues from Easemob’s customer engagement cloud business, which were offset in part by our business expansion and usage growth in other sectors and regions.

    Cost of Revenues
    Cost of revenues was $15.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 5.1% from $15.0 million in the same period last year, primarily due to the increase in bandwidth usage and co-location costs.

Gross margin was 60.8% in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 2.2% from 63.0% in the same period last year, mainly due to an increase in revenue from our broadcast streaming product which had lower gross margin.

    • Research and development expenses were $21.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 26.1% from $28.8 million in the same period last year, primarily due to decreased personnel costs as we optimized and reduced our global workforce, including a decrease in share-based compensation from $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
    • Sales and marketing expenses were $12.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 11.7% from $13.8 million in the same period last year, primarily due to decreased personnel costs as we reduced our global workforce.

    Sale of Customer Engagement Cloud Business

    On December 15, 2022, Agora entered into a definitive agreement to sell the customer engagement cloud business of Easemob to TI Cloud Inc., a leading Customer Contact SaaS provider in China, for approximately US$14.6 million (subject to certain closing adjustments) in an all-cash transaction. The transaction was closed on February 1, 2023.

    The revenues attributable to this divested business were approximately $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

    Share Repurchase Program

    During the three months ended December 31, 2022, Agora purchased approximately 22.6 million of its class A ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 5.7 million ADSs) for approximately US$18.6 million under its share repurchase program, representing 9% of its US$200 million share repurchase program.

    During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, Agora repurchased approximately 35.8 million of its class A ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 9.0 million ADSs) for approximately US$41.8 million under its share repurchase program, representing 21% of its US$200 million share repurchase program.

    As of December 31, 2022, Agora had approximately 428.6 million ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 107.2 million ADSs) issued and outstanding, compared to approximately 450.0 million ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 112.5 million ADSs) as of December 31, 2021.

    The board of directors has authorized an extension of the existing share repurchase program through February 28, 2024, with all other terms remaining unchanged.

    We were also informed by our founder, chairman and CEO, Tony Zhao, that as of December 31, 2022, he had used his personal funds to purchase a total of approximately 1.6 million of our ADSs in the open market under his US$30 million management share purchase plan.

    Financial Outlook

    Based on currently available information, Agora expects total revenues for the year ending December 31, 2023 to be between 155 million and 157 million, compared to total revenues of $160.7 million, or $155.4 million if excluding the divested Customer Engagement Cloud business, for the year ending December 31, 2022. This outlook reflects Agora’s current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, and the outlook ranges for the year ending December 31, 2023 reflect various assumptions that are subject to change based on uncertainties, including but not limited to the impact of COVID-19.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Agora has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Agora uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Agora’s financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. Besides free cash flow (as defined below), each of these non-GAAP financial measures represents the corresponding GAAP financial measure before share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, financing related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets, income tax related to acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill. Agora believes that such non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effects of such share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, financing related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets, income tax related to acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill that it includes in its cost of revenues, total operating expenses and net income (loss). Agora believes that all such non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

    Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with Agora’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Agora’s historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the tables captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” included at the end of this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

    Definitions of Agora’s non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are presented below.

    Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)

    Agora defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, financing related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets, income tax related to acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    Agora defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before exchange gain (loss), interest income, investment income (loss), other income, equity in income of affiliates, income taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, and adjusted to exclude the effects of share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, financing related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill.

    Free Cash Flow

    Agora defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Agora considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors regarding net cash provided by operating activities and cash used for investments in property and equipment required to maintain and grow the business.

    Operating Metrics

    Agora also uses other operating metrics included in this press release and defined below to assess the performance of its business.

    Active Customers

    Agora defines an active customer at the end of any particular period as an organization or individual developer from which Agora generated more than $100 of revenue during the preceding 12 months. Agora counts customers based on unique customer account identifiers. Generally, one software application uses the same customer account identifier throughout its life cycle while one account may be used for multiple applications.

    Constant Currency Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate

    Agora calculates Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate for a trailing 12-month period by first identifying all customers in the prior 12-month period, and then calculating the quotient from dividing the revenue generated from such customers in the trailing 12-month period by the revenue generated from the same group of customers in the prior 12-month period. Constant Currency Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate is calculated the same way as Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate but using fixed exchange rates based on the daily average exchange rates prevailing during the prior 12-month period to remove the impact of foreign currency translations. Agora believes Constant Currency Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis as Agora does not consider the impact of foreign currency fluctuations to be indicative of its core operating performance.
