accumulation, measured by a 10% year-over-year increase in users' song
collections. The improvements also boosted recommendation-driven streams.

revenue.
Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Review
Total revenues increased by RMB565 million, or 8.2%, to RMB7.46 billion (US$1.02 billion) from RMB6.89 billion in the same period of 2023.
-- Revenues from online music services delivered a strong year-over-year
increase of 16.1% to RMB5.83 billion (US$799 million) from RMB5.02
billion in the same period of 2023. The increase was driven by solid
growth in music subscription revenues, supplemented by growth in revenues
from advertising services. Revenues from music subscriptions were RMB4.03
billion (US$552 million), representing 18.0% year-over-year growth,
compared with RMB3.42 billion in the same period of 2023. This rapid
growth was driven by continuous expansion in the online music paying user
base and improved ARPPU. The number of online music paying users
increased by 13.4% year-over-year to 121.0 million. This growth was
primarily due to high quality contents, attractive membership privileges,
and optimized user operations. Monthly ARPPU increased to RMB11.1 in the
fourth quarter of 2024 from RMB10.7 in the same period of 2023, which was
driven by effective promotions and the expansion of SVIP membership
program. The year-over-year increase in revenues from advertising was
primarily due to our more diversified product portfolio and innovative ad
formats, such as ad-supported mode.
-- Revenues from social entertainment services and others decreased by 13.0%
to RMB1.63 billion (US$223 million) from RMB1.87 billion in the same
period of 2023. The decrease was mainly the result of adjustments to
certain live-streaming interactive functions and more stringent
compliance procedures implemented. Meanwhile, we continue to focus on the
healthy growth in advertising and VIP memberships within social
entertainment.
Cost of revenues decreased by 1.1% year-over-year to RMB4.21 billion (US$576 million), mainly due to decreased revenues from social entertainment services that led to less revenue sharing fees. Meanwhile, advertising agency fees, costs related to offline performances and payment channel fees increased year-over-year.
Gross margin increased to 43.6% from 38.3% in the same period of 2023, primarily due to strong growth in revenues from music subscriptions, including subscriptions to SVIP membership, and in revenues from advertising services, and the ramp-up of our own content.
Total operating expenses decreased by 7.3% year-over-year to RMB1.17 billion (US$161 million). Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 15.7% from 18.4% in the same period of 2023.
-- Selling and marketing expenses were RMB248 million (US$34 million),
representing a 2.7% year-over-year decrease.
-- General and administrative expenses were RMB926 million (US$127 million),
representing an 8.4% year-over-year decrease. This decrease was primarily
due to lower employee-related expenses.
Total operating profit was RMB2.41 billion (US$330 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a 40.5% year-over-year increase.
The finance cost for the fourth quarter of 2024 mainly reflected an unrealized foreign exchange gain, arising from treasury management activities, which was largely affected by the fluctuation of exchange rate between RMB and USD as of September 30 and December 31, 2024.
The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 16.9%, compared with 17.3% in the same period of 2023. We accrued withholding income tax of RMB110 million (US$15 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, net profit was RMB2.08 billion (US$284 million) and net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was RMB1.96 billion (US$268 million). Non-IFRS net profit was RMB2.40 billion (US$329 million) and non-IFRS net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was RMB2.28 billion (US$312 million). Please refer to the section in this press release titled "Non-IFRS Financial Measure" for details.
Basic and diluted earnings per American Depositary Shares ("ADS") for the fourth quarter of 2024 were RMB1.27 (US$0.17) and RMB1.26 (US$0.17), respectively; non-IFRS basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB1.48 (US$0.20) and RMB1.47 (US$0.20), respectively. For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company had weighted averages of 1.54 billion basic and 1.56 billion diluted ADSs outstanding, respectively. Each ADS represents two of the Company's Class A ordinary shares.
As of December 31, 2024, the combined balance of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, term deposits and short-term investments amounted to RMB37.58 billion (US$5.15 billion), compared with RMB36.04 billion as of September 30, 2024.
Full Year 2024 Financial Review

-- Revenues from online music services delivered a strong year-over-year
increase of 25.5% to RMB21.74 billion (US$2.98 billion) from RMB17.33

advertising services. Revenues from music subscriptions were RMB15.23

Non-IFRS Financial Measure
The Company uses non-IFRS net profit for the period, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. TME 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 period. TME believes that non-IFRS net profit for the 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 period should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to operating profit, net profit for the 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 period and the reconciliation to its most directly comparable IFRS measure. Non-IFRS net profit for the 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.

Non-IFRS net profit for the period represents profit for the period excluding amortization of intangible and other assets arising from business acquisitions or combinations, share-based compensation expenses, net losses/gains from investments and related 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 period to its net profit for the period.
