Third quarter 2023 Unaudited Financial Results

Net revenues were RMB425.1 million (US$58.3 million) in the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB565.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to the decline in average paying users and user spending on our audio entertainment products.

Cost of revenues was RMB317.3 million (US$43.5 million) in the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB376.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, mainly attributable to (i) the decreased revenue sharing fees, (ii) the decreased share-based compensation expenses, (iii) the decreased payment handling costs, and (iv) the decreased other miscellaneous costs.

Gross profit was RMB107.8 million (US$14.8 million) in the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB189.1 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP gross profit³ was RMB107.9 million (US$14.8 million) in the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB190.8 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Gross margin in the third quarter of 2023 was 25%, compared with 33% in the third quarter of 2022, mainly due to an increase in the revenue sharing percentage resulting from the adjustment in revenue sharing policies in the third quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP gross margin in the third quarter of 2023 was 25%, compared with 34% in the third quarter of 2022.

Operating expenses were RMB167.9 million (US$23.0 million) in the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB176.6 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Research and development expenses were RMB83.8 million (US$11.5 million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing a 7% increase from RMB78.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to the increased salary and welfare benefits expenses related to increased severance pay to optimize the efficiency of the research and development employees, and partially offset by the decreased expenses related to research and development services provided by third parties.

Selling and marketing expenses were RMB59.1 million (US$8.1 million) in the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB71.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily attributable to decreased branding and marketing expenses. The Company will monitor its discretionary advertising and promotion expenses and adjust accordingly depending on market conditions.

General and administrative expenses were RMB25.1 million (US$3.4 million) in the third quarter of 2023, compared with RMB27.1 million in the third quarter of 2022, mainly driven by decreased professional service fees provided by third parties, provision for litigation contingencies, and other miscellaneous expenses.

Operating loss was RMB60.1 million (US$8.2 million) in the third quarter of 2023, compared to operating income of RMB12.5 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

LIZHI uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss/income, non-GAAP net loss/income, non-GAAP net loss/income attributable to LIZHI INC.'s ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss/income per ADS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of net revenues. Non-GAAP operating loss/income is operating loss/income excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net loss/income is net loss/income, excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net loss/income attributable to LIZHI INC.'s ordinary shareholders is net loss/income attributable to LIZHI INC.'s ordinary shareholders, excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss/income per ADS is non-GAAP net loss/income attributable to LIZHI INC.'s ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of ADS used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss/income per ADS. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the non-cash impact of the above reconciling item adds clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measure for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the non-cash effect of share-based compensation expenses.

However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, superior to, or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" near the end of this release.
