We are pleased to see that our efforts paid off and the Company achieved quality growth, paving the way for 2023's development," said Mr. Yang Tao, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Yalla. "In the fourth quarter, our revenues increased by 11.2% year-over-year to US$75.1 million, reaching the upper end of our guidance. Despite the World Cup diverting our users' attention to some degree during the quarter, our average MAUs reached 32.0 million, up 14% year-over-year thanks to our continuous efforts to enhance product gamification and boost user engagement. Meanwhile, we continued to improve our monetization capability, driving our paying users to 12.5 million, an increase of 47.8% year-over-year.
"Our flagship applications maintained stable operations and our new initiatives progressed steadily during the quarter. We also launched Yalla Game's first internal game studio and completed the initial round of beta testing on our first two hard-core games for distribution in MENA. On a related note, Frost and Sullivan recently issued a research report recognizing Yalla as the largest MENA-based online social networking and gaming company in terms of revenue in 2022. We believe that as the region's leader across both social networking and gaming, we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on MENA's strong digitalization trend and unleash massive growth potential," Mr. Yang concluded.
"We continued to focus on quality growth in 2022, with full-year revenue increasing to US$303.6 million, a net margin of 26.0% and a non-GAAP net margin of 34.8%," said Ms. Karen Hu, Chief Financial Officer of Yalla. "Despite external challenges, our revenue recorded solid year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter of 2022, a testament to our effective growth strategy. Furthermore, we achieved a healthy profitability level during the quarter as we firmly executed our refined operations process - our GAAP net margin was 22.1%, and excluding share-based compensation, our non-GAAP net margin was 29.0%. Moving forward, we will continue to pursue quality development, improve operational efficiency and invest in our Yalla ecosystem. Supported by our deep local insights and solid fundamentals, we are well-positioned to navigate the market dynamics and seize future growth opportunities. As always, we are committed to creating sustainable, long-term value for our stakeholders."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents non-GAAP financial measures, namely non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net margin and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company's operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define non-GAAP operating income as operating income excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP net income as net income excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP net margin as non-GAAP net income as a percentage of revenues. We define non-GAAP net income attributable to Yalla Group Limited's shareholders as net income attributable to Yalla Group Limited's shareholders, excluding share-based compensation. We define non-GAAP earnings per ordinary share as non-GAAP net income attributable to Yalla Group Limited's shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding.
By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects. Investors can better understand the Company's operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess its core operating results, as they exclude share-based compensation expenses, which are not expected to result in cash payments. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation has been and may continue to be incurred in the Company's business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of its non-GAAP financial measures in the reconciliations to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is set forth at the end of this press release.
