20-05-2025

Reports Q1 revenue $83.9M vs. $78.7M last year. Average MAUs increased by 17.9% to 44.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 from 37.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. The number of paying users decreased by 8.0% to 11.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 from 12.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. 'We kicked off 2025 with a strong first quarter. Even with the impact of Ramadan, which fell entirely within the first quarter this year, our revenues reached US$83.9 million, up 6.5% year over year and beating the upper end of our guidance,' said Mr. Yang Tao, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Yalla (YALA). 'Furthermore, without increasing selling and marketing expenses, we drove a 17.9% increase in average MAUs to 44.6 million, mainly attributable to our refined user acquisition strategy tailored for Ramadan, as well as our AI-driven traffic acquisition optimizations. Our product portfolio is thriving and primed for expansion. We completed first-round product testing on an exciting Match-3 title slated for launch in the third quarter of 2025 and boast a robust lineup of promising mid-core games in our pipeline. To deepen our commitment to returning shareholder value, we plan to further accelerate our share buyback program, raising this year's target by an additional US$22 million to a total of US$50 million for 2025. Looking ahead, we will remain dedicated to harnessing technological innovation as our engine and user needs as our compass, expanding the boundaries of MENA's digital ecosystem as we realize our vision of building the largest destination for online social networking and entertainment activities in MENA.'
