"We continued our solid performance in the third quarter, driven by healthy growth from both online music and social entertainment services. We are particularly pleased to report accelerating growth of our online music paying users, representing a 42.2% year-over-year increase, as the net increase in the third quarter reached 4.4 million, achieving another quarterly high and outpacing the record growth in the second quarter. More importantly, the high quality of this growth was demonstrated by the ARPPU expansion of 3.5% quarter-over-quarter. This is a strong endorsement of our continuous efforts to unlock the intrinsic value of music through our integrated music platform, and to cultivate the willingness of users to pay for premium music services," said Mr. Cussion Pang, Chief Executive Officer of Tencent Music. "Thanks to our vast user base, deep understanding of music trends and user insights, we continued to develop our platform as the go-to destination for artists to build a fan-based economy. This strength, coupled with further investment in various forms of content, technology and services, will solidify our platform as an all-in-one music entertainment destination."
Mr. Tony Yip, Chief Strategy Officer of Tencent Music, said, "In the third quarter, we continued to invest in product innovations to further expand our user base and increase user engagement. We pioneered the introduction of short videos to music streaming pages for users to enjoy while listening to music. We also added new social and gamification features within our social entertainment applications to facilitate connections among users. In addition, we continued to enrich our content ecosystem to extend further beyond songs to include a wider range of offering, including long-form audio, PGC and UGC short videos, music-centric variety shows and original music for games, films and TV shows as well as from our musician program. From talent discovery, content distribution and promotion, to fan-based economy, our platform continues to benefit from the unique virtuous cycle of synergies between online music and social entertainment."
"We delivered strong financial performance in the third quarter with a top-line growth of 31.0%, along with solid operating margins and cash flow," commented Ms. Shirley Hu, Chief Financial Officer of Tencent Music. "Our online music subscription revenue increased significantly by 48.3% year-over-year, driven by strong growth of paying users and ARPPU expansion. New album releases boosted our revenue from digital albums to double in this quarter compared to the third quarter of last year. Our social entertainment and others revenues grew at a healthy rate of 32.9% as we continued to expand the paying user base of our social entertainment services. Our investments in premium content have not only resulted in sound financial return, but also solidified the leadership of our platform. Looking forward, we will strengthen the synergies between our online music and social entertainment businesses and continue to invest in long-term growth initiatives."

Exchange Rate
This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars ("USD") at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all translations from RMB to USD were made at the rate of RMB7.1477 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on September 30, 2019, in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company makes no representation that the RMB or USD amounts referred could be converted into USD or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all. For analytical presentation, all percentages are calculated using the numbers presented in the financial statements contained in this earnings release.
Non-IFRS Financial Measure
The Company uses non-IFRS net profit for the year/period, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Tencent Music believes that non-IFRS net profit helps identify underlying trends in the Company's business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that the Company includes in its profit for the year/period. Tencent Music believes that non-IFRS net profit for the year/period provides useful information about its results of operations, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Non-IFRS net profit for the year/period should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to operating profit, net profit for the year/period or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review non-IFRS net profit for the year/period and the reconciliation to its most directly comparable IFRS measure. Non-IFRS net profit for the year/period presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company's data. Tencent Music encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Non-IFRS net profit for the year/period represents profit for the year excluding share-based compensation expenses, net loss from investments, amortization of intangible and other assets resulting from the business combinations, fair value change on liabilities of puttable shares and income tax effects.
Please see the "Unaudited Non-IFRS Financial Measure" included in this press release for a full reconciliation of Non-IFRS net profit for the year/period to its net profit for the year/period.
