In the second quarter, BIGO Ads achieved $87 million in ad revenue, representing approximately 29% year-on-year growth and 9% Q-o-Q growth. In particular, revenues from our ad network recorded mid double-digit year-on-year growth.

In the fourth half of 2025, North America delivered approximately 24.2% sequential growth in Europe, where we kicked off our expansion during the second quarter, revenue grew by a high single-digit percentage Q-o-Q. Finally, our proprietary user data asset enhanced by customer feedback and multichannel attribution, continuously improved our prefiling and targeting protection, deep measures across our business segments, including amenity vertical insights data asset, establish algorithm capabilities and relevant experiences in cold start scenarios has given us ahead of starch and developing special live models tailored to each vertical additional our global network, infrastructure and tech [indiscernible] originally built for our livestreaming businesses offer significant cost advantages.

ExecutivesThanks, Ms. Li. Hello, everyone. I will now dive deeper into our financial performance for the second quarter. In the second quarter of 2025, we recorded total net revenue of $507.8 million, securing a quarter-over-quarter growth of 2.7%. This was achieved as our livestreaming risk stable footing and delivered our first sequential recovery in the past several quarters. Our non-livestreaming business, particularly advertising business, sustained strong growth momentum in the past consecutive quarters. We expect our livestreaming business to gradually regain momentum and other non-livestreaming revenues to continue to deliver impressive growth in the following quarters. Our non-GAAP operating income was $38.3 million, up by 27.9% year-over-year, beating market expectations. Non-GAAP EBITDA for the quarter was $48.2 million, up by 25.7% year-over-year. We are disclosing our non-GAAP EBITDA metric since this quarter as we believe it's a standard measure of regional performance, which stretch out in operating sectors like interest tax and noncash expenses. Risks could help our shareholders better assess the performance of our core business. Our total livestreaming revenues were $375.4 million for the second quarter, $355.3 million, of which was from BIGO segment, both are quarter-over-quarter. Our ROI driving user acquisition and continued optimization of our content quality and paying user experience have contributed to improve the PAM conversation. The BIGO's total paying users increased by 3.7% quarter-over-quarter. By reaching total livestreaming revenue from the best countries increased by 3.4% quarter-over-quarter, while livestreaming revenues from Southeast Asia increased by 2.1% quarter-over-quarter. Our non-livestreaming revenues were $132.4 million during the second quarter, up by 25.6% year-over-year. Non-livestreaming now contributes 36.1% of our total group revenues up from only 18.7% contribution in the same period last year. In particular, BIGO's non-livestreaming revenues, primarily advertising revenues increased by 29% year-over-year and 8.9% quarter-over-quarter to $87.4 million. As Ms. Li just shared, BIGO Ads has emerged as our second major growth engine with exceptional momentum. We are making substantial progress on our branch, including expansion of our traffic and using advertiser demand across different channels and verticals. As we accumulate is still, we are accelerating the training and optimization of our algorithm to further improve our complete performance, and we believe in total will drive accelerating growth in advertiser demand and publisher traffic posting a self reinforcing strategic level. At present, BIGO Ads has made a positive contribution to our bottom line. We expect it to be increasingly meaningful over time. Our other segment non-listing revenues were $45.2 million, increasing by 19% year-over-year. Group's gross profit was $185.2 million in the quarter, with a gross margin of 36.5%, up from 35.2% last year. while BIGO's gross margin was relatively stable. Our other segment gross margin was substantially up by 9.5 percentage year-over-year to 43.5% due to growth in high-margin SaaS revenues. Our group's operating expenses for the quarter were $179.8 million compared with $198.7 million in the same period of 2024. Our G&A expenses was higher during the quarter due to an non-operational impairment of 30 equity investments, while we saw a decline in other operating expenses. The decline in our other operating expenses was in line with our current operating structure across both livestreaming and non-livestreaming business. For our livestreaming business, we are consistently optimizing our user acquisition expenses to enhance ROI for our non-livestreaming business. While it has seen robust revenue growth, we maintained prudent and [indiscernible] plan expanding, with our operating expenses rising at a slower rate than revenue. Our gross non-GAAP operating income for the quarter was $38.3 million in this quarter, up by 27.9% from $30 million year-over-year. Non-GAAP net income attributable to controlling interest of JOYY in the quarter was $77 million, up by 3.9% year-over-year. The gross non-GAAP net income budget was 50.2% in the quarter.

Our benefit remains healthy with a strong net cash producing of $3.3 billion as of June 30, 2025. Now moving to capital allocation. Shareholder return continued to be an important component of our capital allocation strategy. We have returned $49.4 million to our shareholders through dividends during the second quarter and repurchased $36.5 million, most of our shares during the year as of June 30, 2025. We remain firmly committed to actively utilize our outstanding share repurchase program. Turning now to our business outlook. At the group level, we expect our net revenues for the third quarter of 2025 to be between $525 million and $539 million. Our guidance accounts for [indiscernible] fluctuations and reflect our preliminary views on the current market of regional conditions and business adjustment decisions which are subject to changes. In conclusion, our efforts to cultivate new growth engines continue to bear fruit, addressed by the impressive revenue growth of BIGO Ads and other livestreaming business, reaching a stable footing and continue to contribute strong operating profits, with other global regional capabilities, type infrastructure and vibrant ecosystem where we are present to expand the distinctive competitive edge and build up minimal and lasting projects in the tech industry, while delivering sustainable profitable growth and long-term value for our shareholders. That concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, we would now like to open up the call to questions.
Operator
Operator[Operator Instructions] And the first question we have will come from Thomas Chong of Jefferies.
Thomas Chong
Analysts[Foreign Language] Thanks management for taking my question. My first question is about the live streaming business. As we are seeing the Q2 livestreaming revenue is already stabilizing on a sequential basis. How should we think about the long-term development trend for the livestreaming business? And my second question is about the second half outlook. Can management comment about the group level revenue in the second half?
Ting Li
Executives[Interpreted] Thank you, Thomas. This is Li Ting. I will take your 2 questions. We see Q1 as a clear bottom when -- while BIGO's livestreaming revenue was negatively impacted due to seasonality factors and also the temporary app removal in the first quarter. In Q2, we've seen sequential recovery with revenue from BIGO's core global products, all 3 global products delivering sequential growth in their live streaming revenue. The key driver for the recovery was mainly driven by growth in paying users. Geographically speaking, we've seen stronger resilience from developed countries, especially in Europe, where our live streaming revenues rebound after our earlier content cost optimization in the previous quarters. Southeast Asia and other regions are also showing signs of recovery. All in all, I would like to say the sequential recovery in Q2 is built on solid improvements that we've made in the past few quarters, both including content optimization, the optimization of the content offering system and also the enhancement of operating efficiency. We believe that these efforts will continue to drive growth of our live streaming revenue in the upcoming quarters. Looking ahead to our livestreaming performance in the second half of the year, we expect a sequential recovery trend to continue our highlight operational activities such as our Gallus are expected to enhance streamer and user engagement in the second half of the year, driving regional monetization to pick up some preliminary data from BIGO Live shows that our July game has driven an MOM revenue increase in livestreaming. We will continue optimizing our content operations focusing on refined content management and enhancing our incentives for mid-tier streamers, together with our Ally driven use acquisition, which focused on higher-quality users and also overall product experience optimization. We expect sustained growth in BIGO's paying users in the second half with a much more diversified content ecosystem and better quality, we expect also incremental contributions from our new audio social products in the MENA region. Based on those factors, we are confident that our live streaming revenue will return to a steady year-over-year growth trajectory in 2026. And I will now move on to your second question. In the second quarter, you can see that our total revenue was up 2.7% to $507.8 million up Q-o-Q. This growth was driven by stabilizing and recovery in our livestreaming revenue while our non-livestreaming revenue, sustaining a strong momentum, growing by 25% to 26% year-over-year and now contributing 26.1% to the group's total revenue. Looking ahead to Q3, we expect our live streaming revenue to continue its sequential recovery. And on the non-livestreaming revenue side, as our advertising entered into a peak season, we anticipate continued double-digit year-over-year growth from AdTech, supporting further Q-o-Q revenue growth at the group level. You can see that since Q2, our top line -- our group's top line has entered into a phase of sequential recovery with livestreaming, stabilizing and back to growth and also non-livestreaming accelerating growth and becoming a new growth engine. We expect both year-over-year and Q-o-Q growth in Q4.
Operator
OperatorThe next question will come from Xueqing Zhang of CICC.
Xueqing Zhang
Analysts[Foreign Language] I have 2 questions on your financials. First, you have added disclosure of non-GAAP EBITDA in this quarter, what's your consideration behind the dilation? My second question is about the trend in OpEx traffic outlook for the second half of this year?
Fuyong Liu
Executives[Interpreted] Thank you, Xueqing, for the question. This is Alex. First of all, we believe that EBITDA is a core operating metric that we've always closely monitored internally. As EBITDA excludes interest, depreciation, amortization and taxes, which are all nonoperational factors we believe that it is a better proxy of our capability to generate cash flow through our core operations. it's also a better metric for peers comparison as well, given the differences that lie in the capital structure, the differences in our applicable tax rate and also depreciation policies, et cetera. We believe that EBITDA eliminates all of these external factors and enable us to better compare our operating efficiency with our peers. In brief, we believe that the trend of our EBITDA can better reflect the improvement of our -- or the trend of our operating efficiency under the current dual growth engine strategy and it will help us better evaluate our capital allocation in a more prudent and comprehensive manner in the future. Moving to your next question about expenses and margins for the second half of the year. Let's first quickly review our second quarter performance. In Q2, we definitely delivered better-than-expected profitability, both in terms of our gross margin, OP margin and net margin. Our non-GAAP operating profit was up by 23.6% Q-o-Q to $38.3 million, and our non-GAAP EBITDA rose by 19.3% to $48.2 million. And to look at it by segment for the BC segment, our non-GAAP gross margin was 35.6% and our operating margin was 14% in Q2, both are up improving Q-o-Q. And these gains were driven by our continued efforts in refined operations, our content ecosystem and also enhanced operational efficiency, which better improved the gross and operating margins in our live streaming business. For the all other segment, the Q2 non-GAAP gross margin was up significantly from the previous quarter, rising from 42.1% in Q2 to 43.8% in Q2, primarily driven by increased contribution from our higher-margin non-live streaming revenue. Meanwhile, non-GAAP operating loss was narrowed to $23.6 million from $26.5 million in Q1, a 10.8% Q-o-Q decrease mainly due to our disciplined spending and a lower margin ratio of our operating expenses. Looking ahead to Q3, with our revenue growth in the Vega segment, and we expect BIGO's non-GAAP operating profits to continue steady improvement. For the all other segments due to the seasonal fluctuations in certain expenses, we expect its non-GAAP operating losses might slightly widen compared to Q2, but will still show significant year-over-year improvement compared to '24. For the full year of '25, we're expecting our overall non-GAAP operating profit amount and non-GAAP EBITDA to show an improving trend.
Operator
OperatorThe next question will come from Cici Cheng of CLSA.
Cici Cheng
Analysts[Foreign Language] Our advertising business has consistently maintained a robust growth rate in this year, which is highly in industry average. Could you please share the main driver and the unique advantage behind the growth of our advertising revenue? And how do we view the potential synergy between different business segments?
Ting Li
ExecutivesThank you, Cici. I'm Li Ting. I will take this question. for the growth driver of our ad tech business, we can look at it from both the technical and also a market opportunity perspective. From the tech side, as we continue to optimize our algorithm, we are delivering better campaign performance for our advertisers, and this has driven further advertiser demand. And secondly, we are making progress in vertical models, and we believe that this has opened up new opportunities across verticals as well. At this moment, our advertising algorithm, it's still in its early stage of development, and it's continuously declining and optimizing based on self-learning, while our team continued to look for practical ways to improve our algorithm efficiency and effectiveness in full-stack services of advertising, such as estimated fitting, dynamic budget allocation. We believe that when there are certain innovations or breakthroughs in these models, our ad tech business will continue to grow by a major amount. . Secondly, we are not restricted to web advertising and IAA game advertising. We are also training and optimizing our IAP advertising models in verticals such as social entertainment and e-commerce. Geographically speaking, we are continuing to penetrate North America and Japan and also actively exploring new markets such as Europe. And I want to summarize our competitive batch with proprietary data assets due to our first-party traffic and also ecosystem synergies. We have exclusive access to JOYY's 263 million users and additionally, leveraging on our group's diverse ecosystem, BIGO Ads has enjoyed inherent advantages over technology data and also advertise outreach, and that is laying a very solid foundation for its business expansion and then establishing unique advantages in certain verticals. For example, our e-commerce staff business has clear synergies with BIGO Ads in terms of advertiser resources and also business scenarios. While we continue to accelerate the growth of our advertising business, we will also be building up our user insights and efficient targeting technology, and that is likely going to empower our livestreaming other businesses as well and continue to strengthen the flywheel effect. Overall, BIGO Ads has emerged as one of our strategic focus, we remain confident in our growth prospects and also our ability to build our differentiated competitive edge in this $1 trillion market over time. . And now moving on to your next question on our synergy. I'd like to first come to the conclusion and highlight that there are obviously very strong synergies among our businesses. And I believe that the benefits of our synergies and operating leverage will increase with the growth of scale and the improvement of our Czech capability. First of all, our current progress in our attack business is still on top of our established operational capabilities in light streaming. In the past, we have accumulated a massive user base through our social entertainment products. And along the way, we figured that traffic and monetization efficiency is very different among different regions. In some -- in certain regions, advertising came out to be a better monetization tool than like time. And it's based on this observation that we and BIGO Ads. And secondly, as I mentioned earlier, referring to our competitive edge in ad tech, our ad tech business has inherent resources and tax capabilities, leveraging on the group's massive user data established advertiser outreach as well as our network and tech infrastructure. And therefore, BIGO Ads has got the right ingredients to sustain growth. And as we grow our ad tech business, we expect our achievements in ad tech will also, in the end, empower our livestreaming business as well further enhancing our synergy benefits and also our operating leverage. While we remain confident that as we continue to grow our ad tech business we will evolve beyond our current stage and transition into a diversified, high-growth tech company. So that's the -- and that was the last question. Thank you so much for joining this call. We look forward to speaking with everyone next quarter. Thank you.
