BUSINESS REVIEW
Our principal activities are centered around the Android ecosystem, which was a top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic when we tried to manage our relationships with various players in the Android ecosystem. In 2020, we strengthened our relationship with Chinese mobile phone manufacturers and mobile distribution channel providers by actively deepening and diversifying our cooperation, which in turn provided them with quality mobile internet contents on a continuous basis. While deepening our existing partnerships, we also continued to explore new partnership opportunities by leveraging our excellent placement efficiency. In respect of industrial customers, we strengthened our risk control management in response to the pandemic impacts by adopting a much more prudent approach to screen potential quality customers, tracking the promotion scale and repayment conditions of small and medium-sized new customers, and maintaining ongoing communication with existing customers and enhancing risk control management over the business so as to ensure the safety and stability of our main business operation. Due to the pandemic impact, customers across a spectrum of industries generally reduced their marketing budgets, and the demand for mobile distribution slowed down, which has led to a year-on-year decrease in our mobile distribution. During 2020, revenue from our mobile advertising service amounted to RMB1,663.6 million, representing a decrease of 26.9%, while revenue from our online-video distribution services and game co-publishing services in 2020 amounted to RMB55.4 million and RMB7.8 million, respectively. In line with the stabilizing pandemic conditions and improving economic conditions in 2021, however, we expect the demand for mobile distribution and placement will grow, resulting in an upward trend of the mobile distribution industry.
The DAPG platform represents our key instrument to connect with a wide range of Android mobile internet participants with efficient placement services. Despite the challenging environment, we will be committed to our continued investments in the research and development on the DAPG platform for the purposes of continuous update at any moment, and as a result of which we expect to continue to develop new technologies, which will enable us to remain as the leader of the fast-moving mobile internet market and provide more accurate placement services. In light of the accumulated data and experience derived from the DAPG platform's outstanding placement efficiency, the DAPG platform has multi-dimensional scalability, providing customized distribution services to different presentation methods in more industry sectors. In 2020, we developed functional modules that support innovative forms of placements such as interactive videos and interactive games, and we will expand the DAPG platform to cover more areas based on partnership requirements and market opportunities.
We made strenuous efforts in the field of Quick Apps, which we believe will rise abruptly based on our accumulated experiences following the widely use of 5G technology. In 2020, Quick App has been launched in more than 170 countries and regions around the world, with more than 500 million monthly active users and more than 4 billion monthly users. We have provided various support and carried out layout around the Quick App ecosystem. In order to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the widely use of 5G technology, the DAPG platform has fully supported the access of Quick Apps, laying the foundation for the continuous exploration of new forms of delivery in the Quick App ecosystem and our cooperation with a wider range of Android-based ecosystem participants in the field of Quick Apps. Based on the Quick App technology, we promoted the cooperation in the area of Internet of Vehicles and launched the SaaS products in a timely manner, which provided a starting point for our strategic layout in the 5G era and allowed us to gain valuable experience. We believe that Quick App, as an excellent connection medium, can enable more traditional industries to become participants in the Android ecosystem.
Despite the impact of the pandemic and the international situation, we continued to explore and lay out our network in overseas markets. In 2020, we accumulated extensive experience in the distribution and operation of mobile games overseas through the distribution of our self-developed mobile games in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and overseas countries. Our mobile games also gained positive response. In the future, with less uncertainties on and the gradual popularization of 5G technology, Chinese mobile phones and Quick Apps around the world, we will carry out more business cooperation overseas.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Although the pandemic remains one of the factors of instability in 2021, we are confident that we will gradually get the business back on track in the coming year with the experience accumulated in 2020 and our robust business chain as a result of enhanced management as well as the recovery and continued growth of mobile distribution market. We will also continue to deepen our cooperative relationship with the upstream and downstream partners of the business chain. While ensuring the stable development of our existing business, we will endeavor to explore new businesses in synergy with our principal business, give full play to the scalability of the DAPG platform and expand more new markets with the potential of mobile Internet. Focusing on "connectivity", in the field of Quick App, we will place emphasis on the traffic, development and user development. We will also continue to explore potential cooperation opportunities to make Quick App an important medium of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things in the 5G era.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Revenues
Our revenues from mobile advertising decreased by 26.9% from RMB2,276.4 million in 2019 to RMB1,663.6 million in 2020, due to the decrease in the number of mobile apps and mobile games we advertised during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, we generated revenues from our online-video distribution services and game co-publishing services of RMB55.4 million (2019: RMB101.6 million) and RMB7.8 million (2019: RMB18.2 million) in 2020, respectively.

Mobile Advertising Services
We generated revenues by distributing advertisements of marketers' mobile apps and mobile games in the distribution channels of our Mobile Hardcore Alliance (the "MHA") members consisting of eight Android smartphone manufacturers in China, non-MHA smartphone manufacturers and non-smartphone manufacturer distribution channel suppliers. We also offered a variety of advertising formats across our distribution channels, including app store search ads, in-feed ads, banner ads, interstitial ads and splash screen ads, to suit our customers' specific needs. The following table sets forth a breakdown of our advertising revenues by source for the periods indicated:
Year ended 31 December
Mobile game distribution | 1,428,269 | 85.9% |

2,276,362 | 100% |
2019
Our mobile advertising revenue generated from distribution of mobile games decreased from RMB1,710.8 million in 2019 to RMB1,428.3 million in 2020, representing a decrease of RMB282.5 million, or 16.5% from 2019. The decrease is primarily due to the reduced advertisement spending of our mobile game advertisers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our mobile advertising revenue from mobile app distribution decreased from RMB565.6 million in 2019 to RMB235.3 million in 2020, representing a decrease of RMB330.3 million, or 58.4% from 2019, primarily due to the decrease in the number of mobile apps we marketed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Online-video Distribution Services
Leveraging our success and experience in providing advertising services, we have expanded into additional business verticals and begun establishing our online-video distribution network to unleash new monetisation opportunities since 2018.
With our stable relationships with suppliers of content distribution channels and smartphone manufacturers, especially the MHA members, we integrated the operational know-hows and experience in the field of online-video distribution, and expanded our service offerings to a broader range of marketers.
We generated a revenue of RMB55.4 million for this business line in 2020, representing a decrease of RMB46.2 million, or 45.5% from 2019. The videos we distributed are mainly in the areas of finance, entertainment and movies.
Game Co-publishing Services
We offer one-stop game co-publishing services to game developers, which include game optimisation, marketing, promotion, distribution, monetisation and other user-related services. Leveraging our extensive experience in game co-publishing, amassed data volume and technical know-how, we actively identified and sourced new game content as well as optimised existing game content based on our in-depth understanding of user profiles, preferences, tastes, and playing habits. Moreover, based on our close relationship with various smartphone-based distribution channels, we allocated game marketing and promotion resources more efficiently and effectively, with insights into the effect of timing of offer and type of virtual items based on user behavior and in-game spending.
Our revenues from game co-publishing services decreased by 57.1% from RMB18.2 million in 2019 to RMB7.8 million in 2020. As at 31 December 2020, we had co-published 26 mobile games in China.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales is primarily comprised of distribution fees incurred for advertisement placements onto the distribution channels, labor costs and amortisation and other related costs associated with the cooperation agreements with certain smartphone manufacturers in relation to their distribution channels.
Cost of sales decreased by 27.9% from RMB2,058.0 million in 2019 to RMB1,484.0 million in 2020. This decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in distribution fees to our distribution channels from RMB2,026.9 million in 2019 to RMB1,471.0 million in 2020, which was in line with the decrease in our revenues during 2020.
Gross Profit and Margins
As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit decreased by 28.2% from RMB338.2 million in 2019 to RMB242.7 million in 2020. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in the transaction volume on our DAPG platform across all segments during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The gross profit margin maintained at 14.1% in 2019 and 2020.
Other Income and Gains
Other income and gains decreased from RMB24.5 million in 2019 to RMB18.1 million in 2020, primarily due to the decrease in bank interest income and government grants received.
Selling and Distribution Expenses
Selling and distribution expenses primarily consisted of sales employee salaries and related benefit expenses, traveling costs, conference costs and marketing expenses. Our selling and distribution expenses decreased by 47.8% from RMB31.6 million in 2019 to RMB16.5 million in 2020, mainly attributable to the decrease in marketing and advertising expenses as a result of our reduced spending in promotional campaigns.
Research and Development Cost
Research and development cost primarily included fees paid to third party consulting service providers and employee salaries and related benefit expenses. Our research and development expenses increased by 61.9% from RMB45.4 million in 2019 to RMB73.5 million in 2020, primarily due to the increase in the number of our research and development staff and the development expenses of our systems.
Administrative Expenses
Our administrative expenses decreased by 18.9% from RMB49.8 million in 2019 to RMB40.4 million in 2020, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in professional service expenses.
Other Expenses and Losses
Other expenses and losses increased from RMB8.9 million in 2019 to RMB15.1 million in 2020, primarily due to the increase in impairment loss provided on our accounts receivable.
Share-Based Payment Expenses
Our share-based payment expense decreased significantly from RMB51.3 million in 2019 to RMB20.2 million in 2020, because the share-based payment expenses in connection with the additional 21,013,000 restricted share units ("RSU(s)") we granted to certain grantees during 2020 were recognised over the vesting period at a lower grant date fair value as compared to 2019.
Operating Profit
As a result of the foregoing, our operating profit decreased by 45.9% from RMB175.8 million in 2019 to RMB95.1 million in 2020. Operating margin decreased from 7.3% in 2019 to 5.5% in 2020.
Finance Costs
Our finance costs decreased from RMB13.1 million in 2019 to RMB10.2 million in 2020, primarily due to the lower effective interest rate charged in connection with our new bank borrowings.
Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense decreased from RMB56.9 million in 2019 to RMB16.6 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in taxable profit of our subsidiaries in China.
Profit for the Year
As a result of the reasons discussed above, profit for the year decreased from RMB105.7 million in 2019 to RMB66.8 million in 2020.
Non-HKFRS Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with the HKFRSs, we also use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net profit as additional financial measures, which are unaudited and not required by, or presented in accordance with, HKFRSs. We present these financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our financial performance by eliminating the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our business performance. We also believe that these non-HKFRS measures provide additional information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as they help our management compare our financial results across accounting periods and with those of our peer companies.
We define adjusted EBITDA as profit for the year without considering depreciation, amortisation, finance cost, income tax, share-based payment expenses and listing expenses ("Adjusted EBITDA"). We define adjusted net profit as profit for the year without considering share-based payment expenses and listing expenses ("Adjusted Net Profit"). The terms Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit are not defined under the HKFRSs. The use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit has material limitations as an analytical tool, as they do not include all items that impact our profit or loss for the relevant years. The effect of items eliminated from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit is a significant component in understanding and assessing our operating and financial performance.
In light of the foregoing limitations for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit, when assessing our operating and financial performance, you should not view Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit in isolation or as a substitute for our profit for the year or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with HKFRSs. In addition, because these non-HKFRS measures may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The following tables reconcile our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit for the periods presented to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with HKFRSs. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit are not required by, or presented in accordance with, HKFRSs.
