BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Mr. Jun LEI, Chairman of the Company, commented, "The Company saw strong growth in the second quarter, driven by continued demand for subscription services and licensing business of Kingsoft Office Group, coupled with excellent performance by core online games. Kingsoft Office Group focused on product development, product rollout and exploration into complementary verticals to build its core competitiveness. In the online games sector, we continued to improve our ability to develop and operate premium games, while expanding into new game categories. On 8 May 2020 (New York time), Kingsoft Cloud was successfully listed on NASDAQ. As the largest shareholder in Kingsoft Cloud, we are confident in its long- term development."

Mr. Tao ZOU, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, added, "Our revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was RMB1,420.1 million, up 49% year-on-year and 21% quarter-on-quarter. Our revenue in the first half of 2020 was RMB2,591.4 million, up 41% year-on-year. In the second quarter of the year, our online games business recorded a year-on-year growth of 53% and office software and services and others businesses grew 43% year-on-year, respectively.

For the second quarter of 2020, Kingsoft Office Group, as a beneficiary of increased demand in remote working, maintained stable and healthy development. Kingsoft Office Group's office software licensing business maintained its rapid growth. We continued to promote cloud office migration to our leading customers, further strengthening our market leadership in document and information processing. In the first half of 2020, Kingsoft Office Group launched new editions of WPS Office such as Integrated Edition, Business Edition and Graphics Edition, while establishing an open Application Program Interface (API) with developer partners in our ecosystem. As of June 2020, we have completed product adaptation with 190 developer partners, achieving integration in areas such as work collaboration, input method, mail, voice recognition, handwriting pad and tablet. As of 30 June 2020, over hundreds of thousands of micro, small and medium enterprises have used WPS+ cloud office services.

Kingsoft Office Group's personal subscription services continued to show robust growth, due to innovative content, rich features, as well as improved user outreach and experience via innovative channels such as live streaming sales. In addition to online document editing, WPS Docs provides collaborative office products such as spreadsheet, calendar, to-do list and meeting, enabling users to work together seamlessly via Kingsoft Office Group's cloud platform.

We continue to expand our partnerships and brand awareness. During this period, Kingsoft Office has become the official supplier of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. In addition, Kingsoft Office entered a strategic cooperation with the International Centre for Higher Education Innovation under the auspices of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO- ICHEI), providing WPS Office-related online courses to this global education resource platform. Forging ahead, we continue to adhere to our philosophy of technological empowerment, focusing our efforts on technological innovation and product optimization and continue to innovate the organizational structure and strengthen the R&D Center.

In the second quarter, revenue from online games achieved significant year-on-year growth. Revenue and average daily active users of our flagship JX Online III PC game recorded year-on-year growth of 120% and 39% respectively, reflecting our track record in developing and operating blockbuster online games. In June, we launched a beta test for the JX Online III mobile game and received positive player response. In the same month, we also started the pre-registration for War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Meanwhile, the cloud version of JX Online

  1. PC game has officially launched its testing version in July, becoming one of the first cloud games in China. We further strengthened our cooperation with Tencent and launched JX Online II mobile game on all platforms in August, which was ranked as the number one in the iOS top free charts on its debut.

In the coming quarters, we will continue to focus on new product development and operation optimization. We will celebrate the 11th anniversary of JX Online III PC game and launch a new expansion pack to further strengthen the longevity and vitality of our core IP. During the year, JX Online

I mobile game will be renamed as New JX Online I: Yuan Qi

Wang You (新劍俠情緣: 緣起忘憂) with an all-new game appearance and experience for our players. Wo Long Yin 2 (臥龍吟 2) will also be launched later this year."

Mr. Jun LEI concluded, "Our results were robust in the first half of 2020 despite the impact of COVID-19. Going forward, we remain confident in the resilience of our business model and the pace of our developments. We will continue to focus on optimizing our organizational structure, technological innovation and product enhancement, so as to provide our customers with the best user experiences. We strive to deliver sustainable business growth and bring solid returns to our shareholders and partners."

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019 and

First Quarter of 2020

Revenue

Revenue for the second quarter of 2020 increased 49% year-on-year and 21% quarter-on-quarter to RMB1,420.1 million. Revenue from the online games, and office software and services and others represented 61% and 39% of the Group's total revenue for the second quarter of 2020. Revenue from these business lines is reported net of intra-group transactions.

Revenue from the online games business for the second quarter of 2020 increased 53% year-on-year and 11% quarter-on-quarter to RMB869.2 million. The increases were mainly attributable to impressive robust revenue growth from flagship game JX Online III, resulting from frequent content updates and operational innovations, partially offset by decreased revenue from certain existing mobile games as the natural declining life cycles.

Revenue from the office software and services and others for the second quarter of 2020 increased 43% year-on- year and 41% quarter-on-quarter to RMB551.0 million. The increases were largely due to sustainable growth from subscription services and licensing business of Kingsoft Office Group, driven by increased paid users resulting from continuously improved products and services.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue for the second quarter of 2020 increased 19% year-on-year and 8% quarter-on-quarter to RMB217.9 million. The increases were mainly due to higher server and bandwidth service fees associated with increased user traffic, as well as greater content costs associated with increased personal subscription services of Kingsoft Office Group.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2020 increased 55% year-on-year and 24% quarter-on-quarter to RMB1,202.2 million. The Group's gross profit margin increased by four percentage points year-on-year and two percentage points quarter-on-quarter to 85%. The increases of the Group's gross profit margin were mainly due to greater revenue contribution from self-developed games in this quarter, which have relatively higher gross profit margin, as well as improved gross profit margin of subscription services of Kingsoft Office Group.

R&D Costs, net

Net R&D costs for the second quarter of 2020 increased 4% year-on-year and 10% quarter-on-quarter to RMB390.3 million. The increases were mainly attributable to increased headcount as well as personnel related expenses, as we consistently focus on improving R&D capability and further developing and enhancing our products and services.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses for the second quarter of 2020 increased 8% year-on-year and 31% quarter-on- quarter to RMB192.9 million. The year-on-year increase was largely due to increased channel costs of Kingsoft Office Group aiming to expand and better serve governments and enterprises. The quarter-on-quarter increase was primarily due to higher marketing spending for online games.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2020 increased 35% year-on-year and 9% quarter-on-quarter to RMB101.4 million. The year-on-year increase was primarily due to increased staff-related costs and professional service fees. To accommodate for the rapid growth of our business, we moved to new office buildings in Beijing, which led to the increased rent expense.

Share-based Compensation Costs

Share-based compensation costs for the second quarter of 2020 increased 5% year-on-year and 18% quarter- on-quarter to RMB36.6 million. The increases primarily reflected the new grants of awarded shares to selected employees.

Operating Profit before Share-based Compensation Costs

Operating profit before share-based compensation costs for the second quarter of 2020 increased 193% year-on-year and 41% quarter-on-quarter to RMB585.3 million.

Finance Costs

Finance costs for the second quarter of 2020 was RMB28.4 million, compared with finance costs of RMB4.7 million and RMB5.7 million for the second quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020. The increases were primarily due to newly issued convertible bonds with the interest rate of an equivalent market interest rate for a similar bond in the accounting treatment, which would not result in cash outflow, instead of the actual yield to maturity.

10

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

Other Gains/(Losses), net

Net other losses for the second quarter of 2020 were RMB104.7 million, compared with losses of RMB1,287.9 million in the corresponding period of last year, and gains of RMB3.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. The losses in the second quarter of 2020 were primarily due to loss on deemed disposal of an associate and impairment provisions of certain investee companies. The losses in the second quarter of 2019 were mainly due to provision for impairment on the carrying value of investments in Cheetah Mobile.

Profit/(Loss) Attributable to Owners of the Parent

As a result of the reasons discussed above, profit attributable to owners of the parent (including that from continuing operations and a discontinued operation) was RMB9,151.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2020, compared with loss attributable to owners of the parent of RMB1,415.2 million and profit attributable to owners of the parent of RMB6.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2019 and 31 March 2020, respectively.

Share of Profits and Losses of Associates

We recorded share of losses of associates of RMB172.7 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared with share of losses of RMB58.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 and share of losses of RMB64.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. The losses in the second quarter of 2020 were mainly due to the losses recognized in Kingsoft Cloud, as it was changed from the subsidiary to the associate and recognized share of profit or loss using the equity method since 8 May 2020, partially offset by the profits recognized in Cheetah Mobile as it disposed shares in certain investee companies in this quarter. The losses in the second quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020 were mainly due to the losses recognized in Cheetah Mobile in these quarters.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2020, the second quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020 was RMB83.1 million, RMB5.1 million and RMB64.1 million respectively.

Profit/(Loss) for the period from a discontinued operation

Profit/(Loss) for the period from a discontinued operation reflected the combination of the net loss and net gain on deemed disposal from Kingsoft Cloud, which was profit of RMB8,927.4 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to loss of RMB417.8 million for the second quarter of 2019 and loss of RMB480.9 million for the first quarter of 2020. The net gain on deemed disposal of Kingsoft Cloud was RMB9,096.4 million recognized in the second quarter of 2020, which arose from spin-off and separate listing of Kingsoft Cloud.

Profit/(Loss) Attributable to Owners of the Parent before Share-based Compensation Costs

Profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the parent before share-based compensation costs is profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the parent excluding the effect of share-based compensation costs attributable to owners of the parent.

We believe that the profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the parent before share-based compensation costs will enable the investors to better understand the Group's overall operating performance. When assessing our operating performance, you should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for our profit/(loss) or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with IFRSs. In addition, our profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the parent before share-based compensation costs may not be comparable to similarly titled measures utilized by other companies.

Profit attributable to owners of the parent before share-based compensation costs (including that from continuing operations and a discontinued operation) was RMB9,193.7 million for the three months ended 30 June 2020, compared with loss of RMB1,372.4 million and profit of RMB55.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2019 and 31 March 2020, respectively. The net profit/ (loss) margin excluding the effect of share-based compensation costs was 500%, (73%) and 2% for the three months ended 30 June 2020, 30 June 2019 and 31 March 2020, respectively.

Interim Report 2020 KINGSOFT CORPORATION LIMITED

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

First Half of 2020 Compared to First Half of 2019

Revenue

Revenue for the first half of 2020 increased 41% year- on-year to RMB2,591.4 million. Revenue from the online games and office software and services and others represented 64% and 36% of the Group's total revenue for the first half of 2020.

Revenue from the online games business for the first half of 2020 increased 41% year-on-year to RMB1,649.9 million. The increase was mainly due to strong performance of self-developed PC games, as well as an increase in certain existing mobile games.

Revenue from office software and services and others for the first half of 2020 increased 40% year-on-year to RMB941.5 million. The year-on-year increase was largely due to solid growth from subscription services and licensing business of Kingsoft Office Group, driven by fast growing paid users through offering new innovative content and features, and better user experience.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue for the first half of 2020 increased 17% year-on-year to RMB 419.1 million. The year-on- year increase was primarily due to higher server and bandwidth costs in line with increased user traffic, as well as greater content costs associated with increased personal subscription services of Kingsoft Office Group.

Gross profit for the first half of 2020 increased 46% year-on- year to RMB2,172.3 million. The Group's gross profit margin increased by three percentage points year-on-year to 84%.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses for the first half of 2020 increased 26% year-on-year to RMB194.7 million. The year-on-year increase was mainly due to increased staff-related costs and professional fees. To accommodate for the rapid growth of our business, we moved to new office buildings in Beijing, which led to the increased rent expense.

Share-based Compensation Costs

Share-based compensation costs for the first half of 2020 decreased 9% year-on-year to RMB67.5 million.

Operating Profit before Share-based Compensation Costs

Operating profit before share-based compensation costs for the first half of 2020 increased 144% to RMB1,001.4 million.

Finance Costs

Finance costs for the first half of 2020 increased 213% to RMB34.1 million. The increase was due to newly issued convertible bonds with the interest rate of an equivalent market interest rate for a similar bond in the accounting treatment instead of the actual yield to maturity.

Other Losses, net

Net other losses for the first half of 2020 was RMB101.4 million, compared with losses of RMB1,289.3 million in the same period of last year. The losses in the first half of 2020 were mainly due to loss on deemed disposal of an associate and impairment provisions for investee companies. The losses in the first half of 2019 were mainly due to the provisions for impairment on the investments in Cheetah Mobile.

R&D Costs, net

Net R&D costs for the first half of 2020 kept flat year-on- year to RMB745.3 million, as we benefited from temporary exemption or reduction of social and medical insurance premiums in the first half of 2020.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses for the first half of 2020 increased 19% year-on-year to RMB339.7 million. The increase was primarily due to: i) headcount growth of sales team to develop channels in enterprise and government market; and ii) greater marketing activities for Kingsoft Office Group and online games.

Share of Profits and Losses of Associates

We recorded share of losses of associates of RMB236.7 million for the first half of 2020, compared with share of losses of RMB135.8 million for the first half of 2019. The losses in the first half of 2020 were mainly due to the losses recognized in Kingsoft Cloud, which has been accounted as our associate since 8 May 2020, partially offset by the profits recognized in Cheetah Mobile with disposed shares in certain investee companies. The losses in the first half of 2019 were largely due to losses recognized in Cheetah Mobile.

12

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was RMB147.2 million and RMB48.2 million for the first half of 2020 and 2019 respectively.

Profit/(Loss) for the period from a discontinued operation

Profit/(Loss) for the period from a discontinued operation reflected the combination of the net loss and net gain on deemed disposal from Kingsoft Cloud, which was profit of RMB8,446.5 million for the first half of 2020, compared with loss of RMB713.4 million for the first half of 2019. The net gain on deemed disposal of Kingsoft Cloud was RMB9,096.4 million recognized in the first half of 2020, which arose from spin-off and separate listing of Kingsoft Cloud.

Foreign Currency Risk Management

As at 30 June 2020, RMB3,351.8 million of the Group's financial assets were held in deposits denominated in non- RMB currencies. As there are no cost-effective hedges against the fluctuation of RMB, there is a risk that we may experience a loss as a result of any foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation in connection with our deposits and investments.

Net cash generated from our operating activities reflected our profit/(loss) for the six months period, as the case may be, as adjusted for non-cash items, such as depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and share-based compensation costs, as well as the effect of changes in certain items of statement of financial position, such as deferred revenue, other payables and accruals.

Profit/(Loss) Attributable to Owners of the Parent

As a result of the reasons discussed above, profit attributable to owners of the parent (including that from continuing operations and a discontinued operation) was RMB9,157.6 million for the first half of 2020, compared with loss of RMB1,483.0 million in the same period last year.

Profit/(Loss) Attributable to Owners of the Parent before Share-based Compensation Costs

Profit attributable to owners of the parent before share-based compensation costs for the first half of 2020 (including that from continuing operations and a discontinued operation) was RMB9,248.9 million, compared with loss of RMB1,405.7 million in the prior year period. The net profit/(loss) margin excluding the effect of share-based compensation costs was 211% and (39%) for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019, respectively.

Net cash generated from operating activities (including that from continuing operations and a discontinued operation) was RMB1,308.1 million and RMB244.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019, respectively.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures represent cash payments for acquisition of business, fix assets and intangible assets. Cash used for capital expenditures (including that from continuing operations and a discontinued operation) was RMB404.4 million and RMB603.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019, respectively.

Liquidity and Financial Resource

The Group had a strong cash position towards the end of reporting period. As at 30 June 2020, the Group had major financial resources in the forms of cash and bank deposits amounting to RMB14,788.5 million, which totally represented 44% of the Group's total assets.

As at 30 June 2020, the Group's gearing ratio, which represents total liabilities divided by total assets, was 19%, compared to 36% as at 31 December 2019.

OTHER INFORMATION (continued)

Employee and Remuneration Policies

As at 30 June 2020, the Group had 5,543 full-time employees (30 June 2019: 6,486), inclusive of all its staff in Mainland China and overseas offices, most of whom are based in Beijing and Zhuhai, the PRC. Since Kingsoft Cloud ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company with effect on 8 May 2020, the number of full-time employees of the Group as at 30 June 2020 did not include the number of those of Kingsoft Cloud Group. The number of employees employed by the Group varies from time to time depending on business needs. Employee remuneration is determined in accordance with prevailing industry practice and employees' educational backgrounds, experiences and performance. The remuneration policy and package of the Group's employees are periodically reviewed. Apart from pension funds, in-house training programs, discretionary bonuses, medical insurance and mandatory provident fund, share awards and share options may be granted to employees according to the assessment of individual performance.

The total remuneration cost incurred by the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2020 was RMB911.8 million (for the six months ended 30 June 2019: RMB861.3 million (restated)).

Directors' Remuneration

Purchase, Sale and Redemption of the Company's Listed Securities

None of the Company and its subsidiaries had purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company's listed securities (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Convertible Bonds

The Company completed the issue of the 2020 Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$3,100,000,000 on 29 April 2020. Unless previously redeemed, converted or purchased and cancelled, the Company will redeem each 2020 Convertible Bonds at 105.85% of its principal

amount together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon on 29 April 2025. The net proceeds from the subscription of the 2020 Convertible Bonds, after deduction of commissions and other related expenses, were approximately HK$3,033.94 million. Assuming full conversion of the 2020 Convertible Bonds at the initial conversion price of HK$35.7637 per share and no further issue of shares, the 2020 Convertible Bonds will be convertible into approximately 86,680,069 shares of the Company. The net proceeds of approximately HK$3,033.94 million represents a net issue price of approximately HK$35.0016 per conversion share based on the initial conversion price of HK$35.7637 per conversion share.

The initial conversion price for each conversion share was HK$35.7637, which represented (i) a premium of approximately 27.5% over the last closing price of HK$28.05 per share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 23 April 2020, being the trading day on which the subscription agreement was signed); (ii) a premium of approximately 30.2% over the average closing price of approximately HK$27.46 per share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days up to and including 23 April 2020; and (iii) a premium of approximately 36.6% over the average closing price of approximately HK$26.19 per share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days up to and including 23 April 2020. The 2020 Convertible Bonds were offered and sold to no less than six independent placees (who were independent individual, corporate and/ or institutional investors). The 2020 Convertible Bonds have been listed on the Stock Exchange since 4 May 2020. The interest is 0.625% per annum of the principal amount of the 2020 Convertible Bonds, payable semi-annually in arrear in equal instalments of HK$3,125 per calculation amount (i.e. interest in respect of any 2020 Convertible Bond shall be calculated per HK$1,000,000 in principal amount of the 2020 Convertible Bonds) on 29 April and 29 October in each year. The Company intended to use the net proceeds from the subscription primarily for general corporate purposes, for strategic investments and acquisitions, if appropriate, and to supplement working capital, which is in accordance with the proposed uses as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 24 April 2020. The Directors are of the view that the issue of the 2020 Convertible Bonds can provide the Company with additional funds at lower funding cost for the said purposes.

OTHER INFORMATION (continued)

  1. Assuming that the holders of the 2020 Convertible Bonds do not hold any shares of the Company as at 30 June 2020.
  2. Any discrepancies between total and sum of percentage listed therein are due to rounding.

The Group had a strong cash position towards the end of reporting period. As at 30 June 2020, the Group had major financial resources in the forms of cash and bank deposits amounting to RMB14,788.5 million, which totally represented 44% of the Group's total assets. As at 30 June 2020, the Group's gearing ratio, which represents total liabilities divided by total assets, was 19%, compared to 36% as at 31 December 2019. As the reasons discussed above, even though the holders hold the 2020 Convertible Bonds to maturity, the Company is fully capable of redeeming in cash.

References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 24 April 2020 and 29 April 2020 for principal terms of the 2020 Convertible Bonds.

Details of dilutive effect on the basic earnings per share as at 30 June 2020 are set out in note 9 to the financial statements.

Spin-off and Separate Listing of Kingsoft Cloud on NASDAQ

On 8 May 2020, the Company announced that the spinoff and separate listing of Kingsoft Cloud, a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, on NASDAQ has been completed and the trading in the ADSs of Kingsoft Cloud commenced on 8 May 2020 (New York time). Pursuant to its public offering, Kingsoft Cloud would issue 30,000,000 ADSs before any exercise of the over-allotment option and the underwriters had an option to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 ADSs pursuant to the over- allotment option. The Company and Xiaomi Corporation have subscribed for 1,175,000 ADSs and 2,355,000 ADSs, respectively.

Following completion of the spin-off and separate listing of Kingsoft Cloud (taking into account the Company's subscription of the ADSs), Kingsoft Cloud has ceased to be

  1. subsidiary of the Company. Therefore, the spin-off and separate listing of Kingsoft Cloud constituted a deemed disposal of the interest in a subsidiary of the Company under Rule 14.29 of the Listing Rules. As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the spin-off and separate listing of Kingsoft Cloud was more than 25% but less than 75%, the spin-off and separate listing of Kingsoft Cloud constituted a major transaction of the Company

and the Company has complied with the requirements under paragraph 3(e)(1) of Practice Note 15 of the Listing Rules and the applicable requirements of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules (including the announcement, circular, appointment of an independent financial adviser and shareholders' approval requirements).

Furthermore, Xiaomi Corporation is an associate of Mr. Jun LEI, a Director and substantial shareholder of the Company. Mr. Jun LEI holds a majority of voting power in Xiaomi Corporation, save for resolutions with respect to a limited number of reserved matters. As such, Xiaomi Corporation is a connected person of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and the subscription of the ADSs by Xiaomi Corporation was therefore a connected transaction of the Company. As at the date of such transactions, Xiaomi Corporation held over 10% equity interest in Kingsoft Cloud, and therefore Kingsoft Cloud was a connected subsidiary of the Company by virtue of Rule 14A.16 of the Listing Rules. As such, the subscription of the ADSs by the Company was also a connected transaction of the Company. As each of the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the subscriptions of the ADSs by the Company and Xiaomi Corporation exceeded 0.1% but was less than 5%, each of the subscriptions of the ADSs by the Company and Xiaomi Corporation was subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from the independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

In addition, to give due regard to the interests of the shareholders of the Company as required by Practice Note 15 of the Listing Rules, the Company declared and distributed a special dividend to its shareholders by way of a distribution in specie, and the cheques for cash payment were despatched on 16 June 2020 (Hong Kong time) and the distributing ADSs were despatched on 16 June 2020 (New York time).

For more details, please refer to announcements of the Company dated 14 November 2019, 22 December 2019, 20 March 2020, 17 April 2020, 28 April 2020, 4 May 2020, 5 May 2020, 8 May 2020 and 16 June 2020 and the circular of the Company dated 26 February 2020, and note 8 to the financial statement.

OTHER INFORMATION (continued)

Review by Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Company has been established since year 2007 with responsibility of assisting the Board in providing an independent review of the financial statements and internal control system. It acts in accordance with its terms of reference which clearly defines its membership, authority, duties and frequency of meetings. It meets regularly with our management, external auditor and internal audit personnel to discuss accounting principles and practices adopted by the Group and internal control and financial reporting matters. The Audit Committee is comprised of three independent non-executive Directors, namely Ms. Wenjie WU (chairman), Mr. Shun Tak WONG and Mr. David Yuen Kwan TANG.

The Audit Committee has reviewed with management the accounting principles and practices adopted by the Group and discussed auditing, internal control and financial reporting matters. The Audit Committee has reviewed the Group's unaudited interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Compliance with Model Code for Securities Transactions

The Company has adopted the Model Code as set out in Appendix 10 of the Listing Rules as its own code of conduct regarding securities transactions by Directors. Having made specific enquiry to all Directors, all Directors confirmed that they had complied with the required standards set out in the Model Code throughout the six months ended 30 June 2020.

The code provision A.6.7 of the CG Code is regarding non-executive directors' attendance at general meetings. Non-executive Director Mr. Chi Ping LAU did not attend the annual general meeting of the Company held on

27 May 2020 due to pre-arranged engagements. The code provision C.1.2 of the CG Code requires management to provide all members of the board with monthly updates on the issuer's business. The management of the Company currently reports to the Board quarterly on the Group's performance, position and prospects. The Board believes that with the executive Directors overseeing the daily operation of the Group and the effective communication among the executive Directors, the management and the non-executive Directors (including the independent non- executive Directors) on the Group's affairs, the current practice is sufficient enough for the members of the Board to discharge their duties. The Board will continue to review this practice and shall make necessary changes when appropriate and report to the shareholders accordingly.

Appreciation

On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our sincere thanks to our shareholders and investors for their continuous support and confidence in us. I would like to thank our employees for their hard work and valuable contributions which are the core elements of the Company's success.

By Order of the Board

Kingsoft Corporation Limited

Corporate Governance Code

The Directors, having reviewed the corporate governance practices of the Company, confirm that the Company has complied with all the applicable code provisions as set out in the CG Code contained in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules except for the code provisions A.6.7 and C.1.2 of the CG Code.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30 June 2020

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Kingsoft Corporation Limited (the "Company") was incorporated under the Companies Act of the British Virgin Islands on 20 March 1998. On 15 November 2005, the Company was redomiciled to the Cayman Islands under the Company Law (2004 revision) of the Cayman Islands. The registered office of the Company is located at Clifton House, 75 Fort Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The principal place of business of the Company is located at Suite 3208, 32/F, Tower 5, The Gateway, Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The Company's shares have been listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited since 9 October 2007.

During the six months ended 30 June 2020, there are no material changes in the principal activities of the Group, except that the operation of Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Limited ("Kingsoft Cloud") and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Kingsoft Cloud Group") before the deemed disposal is reclassified as a discontinued operation of the Group. The continuing operations of the Group were involved in the following principal activities:

  • research and development of games, and provision of online games, mobile games and casual game services; and
  • design, research and development and sales and marketing of office software products and services of WPS Office.

The discontinued operation of the Group was involved in provision of cloud services including cloud computing, storage and delivery, and comprehensive cloud-based solutions through Kingsoft Cloud Group.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  1. Basis of preparation
    The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting, issued by International Accounting Standards Board.
    The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. The interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss for the three months ended 30 June 2020 and 2019 included in page 23 of the interim financial information is only for reference.
  2. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
    The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for the discontinued operation mentioned above and the adoption of the following revised International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") for the first time for the current period's financial information.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.2. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (continued) The nature and impact of the revised IFRSs are described below:

  1. Amendments to IFRS 3 clarify and provide additional guidance on the definition of a business. The amendments clarify that for an integrated set of activities and assets to be considered a business, it must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. A business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. The amendments remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of acquiring the business and continue to produce outputs. Instead, the focus is on whether acquired inputs and acquired substantive processes together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The amendments have also narrowed the definition of outputs to focus on goods or services provided to customers, investment income or other income from ordinary activities. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance to assess whether an acquired process is substantive and introduce an optional fair value concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The Group has applied the amendments prospectively to transactions or other events that occurred on or after 1 January 2020. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
  2. Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 address the effects of interbank offered rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark. In addition, the amendments require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group as the Group does not have any interest rate hedge relationships.
  3. Amendment to IFRS 16 provides a practical expedient for lessees to elect not to apply lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic and only if (i) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change; (ii) any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and (iii) there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The amendment is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020 with earlier application permitted. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
  4. Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 provide a new definition of material. The new definition states that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information. The amendments did not have any impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial information.

3. OPERATING SEGMENTS

For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services, and has two reportable operating segments as follows:

  1. the entertainment software segment engages in the research and development of games, and the provision of online games, mobile games and casual game services; and
  2. the office software and services and others segment engages in the design, research and development, and sales and marketing of the office software products and services of WPS Office.

Management monitors the results of the Group's operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit/(loss), which is a measure of adjusted profit/(loss) before tax from continuing operations. The adjusted profit/(loss) before tax from continuing operations is measured consistently with the Group's profit/(loss) before tax from continuing operations except that administrative expenses, share-based compensation costs, other income, other expenses, net other losses, finance income, non-lease related finance costs as well as share of profits and losses of joint ventures and associates are excluded from such measurement.

As disclosed in note 8, the operating results of Kingsoft Cloud Group before the deemed disposal were classified as a discontinued operation of the Group and were excluded from the segment information for the six months ended 30 June 2020, the comparative figures of segment information for the six months ended 30 June 2019 were restated accordingly.

On 8 May 2020 (New York time), the listing was completed and the trading in the American depositary shares ("ADSs") of Kingsoft Cloud on National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations commenced. As a result, the Group lost control over Kingsoft Cloud, which was changed from the subsidiary to the associate of the Company.

Kingsoft Cloud Group carries out the "cloud services segment" of the Group. In accordance with IFRS 5 Non-currentAssets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the operating results of Kingsoft Cloud Group before the deemed disposal have been presented as a discontinued operation in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss. The comparative figures for the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss are restated to reflect the reclassification between continuing operations and a discontinued operation of the Group accordingly.

The calculation of the basic earnings/(loss) per share amounts is based on the profit/(loss) for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 1,366,890,596 (six months ended 30 June 2019: 1,365,424,321) in issue during the period.

The calculation of diluted earnings/(loss) per share amounts is based on the profit/(loss) for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, adjusted to reflect the impact on earnings arising from the share option schemes and the award share schemes adopted by the Group's subsidiaries and associates. The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation is the number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, as used in the basic earnings/(loss) per share calculation, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed exercise or conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. No adjustment has been made to the basic earnings per share amounts presented for the period ended 30 June 2020 in respect of the convertible bonds outstanding as the impact was anti-dilutive.

On 29 April 2020, the Company issued five-year convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$3,100,000,000 which bear interest at a rate of 0.625% per annum payable semi-annually (the "2020 Convertible Bonds"). The 2020 Convertible Bonds are convertible at the option of the bondholders into ordinary shares of the Company from 9 June 2020 to 3:00 p.m. on the date falling 10 days prior to the maturity date, at a price of HK$35.7637 per share, subject to adjustments. The Company may redeem under certain circumstances the outstanding 2020 Convertible Bonds at a predetermined amount together with interest accrued by giving the bondholders not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice. On the maturity date, any 2020 Convertible Bonds not converted will be redeemed by the Company at 105.85% of the principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. There was no conversion or redemption of the 2020 Convertible Bonds during the six months ended 30 June 2020.

The fair value of the liability component was estimated at the issuance date using an equivalent market interest rate for a similar bond without a conversion option. The residual amount is assigned as the equity component and is included in shareholders' equity.

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and bank deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, financial assets included in prepayments, other receivables and other assets and financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The Group's finance department headed by the finance manager is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. The finance manager reports directly to the chief financial officer ("CFO") and the audit committee. At each reporting date, the finance department analyses the movements in the values of financial instruments and determines the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation is reviewed and approved by the CFO and the valuation process and results are discussed with the audit committee.

19. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

The fair values of loan receivables and interest-bearing bank loans have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The fair values of the liability portion of the convertible bonds and the liability component of the redeemable convertible preferred shares are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using an equivalent market interest rate for a similar convertible bond with consideration of the Group's own non-performance risk.

The fair values of listed equity investments are based on quoted market prices. The fair values of unlisted equity investments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income have been estimated by reference with market value or using a market-based valuation technique and equity valuation allocation model. These valuation techniques are based on assumptions that are not supported by observable market prices or rates. The valuation requires the directors to determine comparable public companies (peers) based on industry, size, leverage and strategy, and to calculate an appropriate price multiple, such as enterprise value to revenue multiple, for each comparable company identified. The multiple is calculated by dividing the enterprise value of the comparable company by an earnings measure. The trading multiple is then discounted for considerations such as illiquidity and size differences between the comparable companies based on company-specific facts and circumstances. The discounted multiple is applied to the corresponding earnings measure of the unlisted equity investments to measure the fair value. The directors believe that the estimated fair values resulting from the valuation technique, which are recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position, and the related changes in fair values, which are recorded in other comprehensive income, are reasonable, and that they were the most appropriate values at the end of the reporting period.

The fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss have been estimated as follows: (i) for subscription options, the fair values have been estimated by using the Black Scholes Model. The valuation requires the directors to make estimates about the underlying equity value, life of option, dividend yield and expected volatility; (ii) for convertible bonds, the fair value has been estimated by probability expected return method. The valuation requires the directors to make estimates about the possibility of different scenarios; and (iii) for other financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the fair values have been estimated by reference with market approach or discount cashflow approach, and using equity valuation allocation model. The valuation requires the directors to make estimates about underlying equity value, expected volatility and risk-free rate. The estimation of underlying equity value is based on estimation of price multiple or expected future cash flows. These valuation techniques are based on assumptions that are not supported by observable market prices or rates. The directors believe that the estimated fair values resulting from these valuation techniques, which are recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position, and the related changes in fair values, which are recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, are reasonable, and that they were the most appropriate values at the end of the reporting period. The fair values of derivative financial instruments have been estimated using the equity valuation allocation model based on assumptions that are not supported by observable market prices or rates. The valuation requires the directors to make estimates about underlying equity value, expected volatility and risk-free rate. The directors believe that the estimated fair values resulting from the valuation technique, which are recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position, and the related changes in fair values, which are recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, are reasonable, and that they were the most appropriate values at the end of the reporting period.
