I believe we are uniquely positioned to enable human users and AI models to interact with each other through video and audio, in addition to text, which will transform all kinds of use cases such as AI companions, social games with AI players, and AI tutors for learning languages.”

Revenues of Agora were $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 8.9% from $16.8 million in the same period last year, primarily due to the decrease in usage and pricing from and to certain customers in emerging markets due to their tightening financing conditions. Revenues of Shengwang were RMB141.2 million ($19.7 million) in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 14.6% from RMB165.3 million ($24.2 million) in the same period last year, primarily due to macroeconomic slowdown, fast evolving regulations in certain downstream markets and the disposal of the CEC business in the first quarter of 2023.

    Cost of Revenues
    Cost of revenues was $12.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 24.3% from $16.6 million in the same period last year, primarily due to the decrease in bandwidth usage and co-location costs.

    • Sales and marketing expenses were $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 46.7% from $14.6 million in the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs as the Company optimized its global workforce.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The Company has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. Besides free cash flow (as defined below), each of these non-GAAP financial measures represents the corresponding GAAP financial measure before share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, financing related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets, income tax related to acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill. The Company believes that such non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effects of such share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, financing related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets, income tax related to acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill that it includes in its cost of revenues, total operating expenses and net income (loss). The Company believes that all such non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

    Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of its historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the tables captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” included at the end of this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

    Definitions of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are presented below.

    Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)

    Non-GAAP net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, financing related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets, income tax related to acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before exchange gain (loss), interest income, investment income (loss), other income, equity in income of affiliates, income taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of land use right, and adjusted to exclude the effects of share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, financing related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill.

    Free Cash Flow

    Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment (excluding the acquisition of land use right and the construction in progress for the headquarters project). The Company considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors regarding net cash provided by operating activities and cash used for investments in property and equipment required to maintain and grow the business.

    Operating Metrics

    The Company also uses other operating metrics included in this press release and defined below to assess the performance of its business.

    Active Customers

    An active customer at the end of any particular period is defined as an organization or individual developer from which the Company generated more than $100 of revenue during the preceding 12 months. Customers are counted based on unique customer account identifiers. Generally, one software application uses the same customer account identifier throughout its life cycle while one account may be used for multiple applications.

    Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate

    Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate is calculated for a trailing 12-month period by first identifying all customers in the prior 12-month period, and then calculating the quotient from dividing the revenue generated from such customers in the trailing 12-month period by the revenue generated from the same group of customers in the prior 12-month period. As the vast majority of revenue generated from Agora’s customers is denominated in U.S. dollars, while the vast majority of revenue generated from Shengwang’s customers is denominated in Renminbi, Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate is calculated in U.S. dollars for Agora and in Renminbi for Shengwang, which has substantially removed the impact of foreign currency translations. The Company believes Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.
