Second Quarter 2026 Operational Highlights
Products & Services – Elevated the music experience through continuous product innovation, ecosystem integration, and thoughtful AI application, to expand user reach and deepen engagement.
- Enhanced the user experience through a more seamless discovery-to-playback journey, introducing vertical swipe-based discovery, video feeds, and expanded freemium access to drive higher daily time spent per user.
- Expanded distribution and user acquisition through deeper integration with the broader Tencent ecosystem. We strengthened music content distribution through Weixin Video Accounts and improved click-through and conversion to our apps. We also collaborated with Weixin Pay to drive traffic to our lightweight apps, such as Bodian Music and Kugou Concept, which cater to users seeking a simpler music experience.
- Harnessed AI agents to make music discovery more intuitive and personalized. We recently integrated with Weixin XiaoWei, and are pleased that by tapping into Weixin's massive user base, more users can discover songs, generate playlists, stream music with easy commands and instantly share favorite tracks with friends. Within QQ Music and Kugou Music, our upgraded AI agents now act as personal DJs, creating personalized playlists in real time that match what users want to hear in the moment.
IP-Centric Content Ecosystem – Deepened strategic partnerships, strengthened proprietary IP capabilities, and expanded presence in digital audio to reinforce long-term IP value.
- Expanded strategic partnerships beyond traditional music licensing to unlock greater value. 1) Deepened our partnerships with Dream Music Group, securing first-release for its top artists while expanding into new areas of collaborations including content co-creation, physical offerings, and offline experiences. 2) To enrich how users experience music beyond audio, we partnered with Huace Film & TV, RUYI FILM, and Zhejiang Satellite TV to bring original soundtracks and popular music variety shows to our platform, creating a more immersive connection between music and visual entertainment.
- Advanced our proprietary content creation capabilities and deepened artist development efforts to support growth of IP-driven experiences. 1) Produced hit releases for leading artists and major IPs, including Zhou Shen's Blaze into Bloom, Liu Yuning's Borrow a Little Light from Ordinary Days, and the theme song for the hit animated film All Wishes Come True!. 2) Following rapper Zhou Yan's (GAI) successful EVOLUTION tour in Asia, we elevated his latest tour, REAL G, to stadium scale. We also supported renowned actor and singer Steven Zhang's first-ever arena tour, New Journey. 3) Made a strategic investment in THE BLACK LABEL to help artists deepen connection with Chinese audiences.
- The addition of Ximalaya strengthened our position as a leading music and audio ecosystem. Its extensive content library broadened our user reach and enriched our SVIP offering. Meanwhile, we have begun the backend integration journey, laying the foundation for operational efficiency gains over time.
Holistic IP Value Creation – Extended the value of premium IPs beyond streaming through digital and physical experiences, deepening fan engagement and driving diversified growth.
- Continued to enhance our SVIP offering with differentiated IP-driven benefits, driving growth in user scale, engagement, and consumption of premium ancillary experiences. New benefits, including digital albums and tailored gift packages for artists and groups such as RENJUN, Lay Zhang, aespa, and RIIZE[5], deepened fan engagement.
- Expanded music IP into more immersive offline experiences, contributing to strong growth in concert-related revenue. 1) Hosted three fan meetings in Macau, China for SM Entertainment's trainee group, SMTR25, attracting tens of thousands of attendees and generating strong merchandise sales. 2) Building on last year's success, we scaled up our proprietary international IP event, TIMA, expanding to a much larger venue to welcome more fans amid growing enthusiasm.
- Extended the value of music IP through end-to-end IP merchandise development and distribution. Physical releases from KUN, Chen Chusheng, Eazin Poe, and Zhou Shen were met with strong demand, highlighting fans' growing appetite for premium music collectibles.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Review
Total revenues increased by RMB491 million, or 5.8%, to RMB8.93 billion (US$1.32 billion) from RMB8.44 billion in the same period of 2025. The revenue generated from Ximalaya was RMB407 million (US$60 million)[6].
- Revenues from music related services increased by 11.0% to RMB7.61 billion (US$1.12 billion), compared with RMB6.85 billion in the same period of 2025. The increase was driven by solid growth in revenues from marketing and consumption services, such as offline performance related services, as well as revenues from membership services. Revenues from membership services were RMB4.79 billion (US$706 million), representing 8.1% year-over-year growth, compared with RMB4.43 billion in the same period of 2025. The consolidation of Ximalaya contributed to the increase of our membership revenues. Additionally, our SVIP membership continued to expand and contributed to our membership revenue growth. Revenues from offline performances related services achieved robust year-over-year growth as we successfully staged several concerts for our strategically collaborated artists.
- Revenues from social entertainment services and others decreased by 16.4% to RMB1.33 billion (US$196 million) from RMB1.59 billion in the same period of 2025.
Cost of revenues increased by 6.2% year-over-year to RMB4.98 billion (US$735 million), mainly due to increased costs related to offline performances, and higher long-form audio content costs due to expansion of content library. Meanwhile, revenue sharing fees decreased, resulting from declines in both revenue sharing ratio and revenues from social entertainment services.
Gross margin was 44.2%, compared with 44.4% in the same period of 2025. The consolidation of Ximalaya had a positive impact to our gross margin of this quarter.
Total operating expenses increased by 12.0% year-over-year to RMB1.30 billion (US$191 million). Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 14.5% from 13.7% in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the consolidation of Ximalaya, including the amortization of intangible assets arising from the acquisition.
On an IFRS basis, net profit and net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the second quarter of 2026 were RMB2.55 billion (US$376 million) and RMB2.47 billion (US$364 million), respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per American Depositary Shares ("ADS") for the second quarter of 2026 were RMB1.58 (US$0.23) and RMB1.57 (US$0.23), respectively. The Company had weighted averages of 1.56 billion basic and 1.58 billion diluted ADSs outstanding, respectively. Each ADS represents two of the Company's Class A ordinary shares.
On a non-IFRS basis, adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 were RMB3.25 billion (US$480 million). Non-IFRS net profit was RMB2.78 billion (US$410 million) and non-IFRS net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was RMB2.69 billion (US$396 million). Non-IFRS basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB1.72 (US$0.25) and RMB1.70 (US$0.25), respectively. Please refer to the section in this press release titled "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" for details.
As of June 30, 2026, the combined balance of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, term deposits and short-term investments amounted to RMB44.22 billion (US$6.52 billion), compared with RMB41.00 billion as of March 31, 2026.
Share Repurchase Program
Under our previously announced share repurchase programs, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased a total of 43.5 million ADSs in the open market with cash for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$400.0 million at an average price of US$9.2 per ADS.
Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG")
