DouYu International Holdings Limited, headquartered in Wuhan, China, is a leading game-centric live streaming platform and a pioneer in the eSports value chain, offering immersive and interactive gaming experiences through its PC and mobile apps.
In its second quarter of 2025, DouYu reported a modest growth in total net revenues, reaching RMB1,053.9 million, marking a 2.1% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The company also achieved a significant turnaround in profitability, with a net income of RMB37.8 million, contrasting with a net loss in the previous year.
Key financial highlights include a 68.5% increase in gross profit to RMB141.9 million and a return to operational profitability with an income from operations of RMB14.2 million. The company’s innovative business, advertising, and other revenues saw a substantial rise of 96.8%, driven by its voice-based social networking and game membership services. However, the livestreaming segment experienced a decline in revenues due to a reduction in content offerings and a challenging macroeconomic environment.
Despite a decrease in average mobile monthly active users and paying users, DouYu’s strategic focus on revenue diversification and cost efficiency has yielded positive results. The company’s gross margin improved to 13.5%, and it successfully reduced operating expenses across sales, marketing, and research and development.
Looking ahead, DouYu remains committed to enhancing user experience and optimizing cost efficiency amidst evolving market conditions. The company aims to continue its strategic initiatives to sustain growth and navigate the complexities of the livestreaming industry in the coming months.
