First-quarter revenues increased 8.7% year-over-year to RMB7.36 billion (US$1.01 billion), mainly reflecting strong year-over-year growth in online music services, partially offset by lower revenues from social entertainment services and others.
Net income attributable to shareholders was RMB4.29 billion (US$591 million), representing a year-over-year growth of more than 200%. First-quarter earnings surged to RMB2.77 per ADS (US$0.38 per ADS) from RMB0.91 per ADS in the same period of fiscal 2024.
