    Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

    Total Revenues

    Total revenues were US$55.2 million, representing an increase of 3.6% from the previous quarter. The increase in total revenues was mainly attributable to increased revenues from live streaming and subscription businesses.

    Revenues from cloud computing and other IVAS were US$28.9 million, representing an increase of 5.8% from the previous quarter. The increase was mainly driven by increased other IVAS revenue.

    Revenues from subscription were US$22.7 million, an increase of 3.0% from the previous quarter. The number of subscribers was 3.96 million as of June 30, 2021, compared with 4.05 million as of March 31, 2021. The average revenue per subscriber for the second quarter of 2021 was RMB 36.9, compared with RMB35.5 for the previous quarter.

    Revenues from online advertising were US$3.5 million, representing a decrease of 8.7% from the previous quarter primarily due to lower advertising placements. Further, due to the evolving regulatory environment of the Chinese internet industry, our advertising revenue is expected to continue to decline in the short term.

    Cost of Revenues

    Cost of revenues was US$26.2 million, representing 47.5% of our total revenues, compared with US$24.4 million or 45.8% of the total revenues in the previous quarter. The increased cost of revenues was mainly attributable to increased revenue-sharing costs of live streaming business.

    Bandwidth costs as included in cost of revenues were US$18.5 million, representing 33.6% of our total revenues, compared with US$17.7 million or 33.2% of the total revenues in the previous quarter.

    The remaining cost of revenues mainly consisted of costs related to the revenue-sharing costs for our live streaming business and depreciation of servers and other equipment.

    Gross Profit and Gross Margin

    Gross profit for the second quarter was US$29.0 million, representing an increase of 1.2% from the previous quarter. Gross margin was 52.5% in the second quarter, compared with 53.7% in the previous quarter. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to decreased revenues of online advertising, which had higher gross margins than other business lines.

    Research and Development Expenses

    Research and development expenses for the second quarter were US$15.2 million, representing 27.5% of our total revenues, compared with US$13.3 million or 24.9% of our total revenues in the previous quarter. The increase was mainly due to increased staff cost as a result of merit salary adjustment and increased headcount as compared with the previous quarter.

    Sales and Marketing Expenses

    Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter were US$6.7 million, representing 12.1% of our total revenues, compared with US$4.5 million or 8.4% of our total revenues in the previous quarter. The increased sales and marketing expenses were mainly due to more promotional activities during the quarter.

    General and Administrative Expenses

    General and administrative expenses for the second quarter were US$7.7 million, representing 14.0% of our total revenues, compared with US$6.6 million or 12.5% of our total revenues in the previous quarter. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased employee-related cost as compared with the previous quarter.

    Operating Income/(Loss)

    Operating loss was US$1.1 million, compared with an operating income of US$4.2 million in the previous quarter.

    Other Income

    Other income was US$0.9 million, compared with other income of US$2.3 million in the previous quarter. The variance was primarily due to the increased foreign exchange loss.

    Net Income and Earnings Per ADS

    Net income was US$5.8 thousand, compared with a net income of US$6.8 million in the previous quarter. Non-GAAP net income was US$1.3 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared with US$7.4 million in the previous quarter. The decreased net income and non-GAAP net income were primarily due to increased operating expenses as discussed above.

    Diluted earnings per ADS in the second quarter of 2021 was approximately US$0.00005 as compared with a diluted earnings per ADS of US$0.10 in the previous quarter.

    Cash Balance

    As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of US$245.0 million, compared with US$245.2 million as of March 31, 2021.

    Guidance for Third Quarter of 2021

    For the third quarter of 2021, Xunlei estimates total revenues to be between US$54 million and US$58 million, and the midpoint of the range represents a quarter-on-quarter increase of approximately 1.4%. This estimate represents management’s preliminary view as of the date of this release, which is subject to change and any change could be material.

    About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement Xunlei's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Xunlei uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission: (1) non-GAAP operating income/(loss), (2) non-GAAP net income/(loss) from continuing operations, (3) non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share for common shares attributable to continuing operations, and (4) non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS attributable to continuing operations. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

    Xunlei believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance by excluding share-based compensation expenses, which is not expected to result in future cash payments. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to Xunlei's historical performance and assist the Company’s financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charge that has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in Xunlei’s results of operations. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure.
