Mr. Cussion Pang, Executive Chairman of TME, commented, "This quarter’s steady results
reflect the effectiveness of our holistic approach to the music ecosystem. By expanding
how we serve and engage our audience, we have built a more diversified and resilient
model, supported by continued strong growth beyond membership services in our music
related business. While AI is broadening participation in content creation, it does
not replace human creativity and, in many ways, reinforces the scarcity and intrinsic
value of premium IP—which remains central to deeper engagement and greater wallet
share. Rooted in strong copyright protection, we are committed to channeling this
value to elevate the creative economy, unlock new opportunities across the music
industry, and drive enduring long-term value."

Mr. Ross Liang, CEO of TME, continued, "As we operate in an increasingly competitive
landscape, we remain focused on strengthening the resilience of our platform. Anchored
by our content-and-platform dual engine, we continue to bolster differentiation,
drive engagement, and expand user lifetime value. Leveraging Tencent’s ecosystem,
we are broadening user reach and deepening penetration, while advancing a tiered
subscription strategy to better address diverse user needs. During the quarter, 
we delivered continued improvement in SVIP adoption and user engagement. Together,
these initiatives position us to compete effectively while driving scalable growth
and durable monetization over time."

**First Quarter 2026 Operational Highlights **

**CONTENT – To unlock long-term value, we continued to invest in premium IP to drive
differentiation and engagement, while leveraging AI to enrich content creation and
improve efficiency. **

 ◦ Strengthened our premium evergreen catalog by renewing key label partnerships,
   including JVR Music, Linfair Records, and MOK-A-BYE BABY MUSIC LTD., securing
   access to iconic artists such as Jay Chou, Karen Mok, Harlem Yu, and Angela Zhang
   ^([4]). We also deepened our strategic partnership with TF Entertainment through
   30-day early release windows and expanded physical collaboration, reinforcing
   our content leadership and competitive differentiation.
 ◦ Captured more user mindshare with our proprietary content. High-impact releases—
   including Zhou Shen’s chart-topping theme song for Sony Pictures’ _Project Hail
   Mary_—collectively drove incremental streams across our self-produced catalog
   and further enhanced its visibility.
 ◦ Harnessed AI to enhance production efficiency and revitalize classic IP. Our 
   AI tools empower creators by lowering production barriers and accelerating workflows,
   effectively increasing content supply, with AI-generated songs accounting for
   a growing share of daily new releases. High-quality, authorized AI covers reintroduce
   classic works to new audiences and drive incremental engagement with original
   tracks.

**PLATFORM – Sustained our user base through a multi-pronged approach and advanced
a multi-tiered monetization strategy, including new offerings to capture demand 
for super-premium music experiences. **

 ◦ Recently stepped up collaboration with the Tencent’s Weixin Video Account to 
   create a seamless funnel that converts casual background music (BGM) discovery
   into high-quality music streaming, enabling us to strengthen user base and drive
   incremental traffic.
 ◦ To better engage casual listeners, we diversified touchpoints across the platform.
   Combined with AI-driven recommendations with interactive features, these initiatives
   encourage users to favorite tracks and curate playlists, fostering the accumulation
   of personal music assets.
 ◦ SVIP membership continued to see solid adoption and engagement. To enhance its
   appeal, we appointed major artists such as Ryan Ding, Ju Jingyi, Liu Yuning, 
   JC-T, and Karry Wang as ambassadors for a variety of collaborations. We also 
   introduced tailored collections for leading K-pop artists such as BLACKPINK, 
   EXO, and IVE, combining digital albums with physical collectibles including NFC
   cards.
 ◦ To meet demand for super-premium experiences, we launched our inaugural Fan Club
   membership with Silence Wang, integrating priority ticketing and exclusive merchandise
   to further enrich the fan experience.

**IP-VALUE – Adopted a holistic, pan-IP approach to amplify music influence, simultaneously
boosting user reach, engagement, and wallet share.**

 ◦ Extended the IP value chain and unlocked commercial value through innovative 
   virtual and physical offerings. A prime example is our strengthened partnership
   with Jay Chou for his digital album, _Children of the Sun_ where combined digital
   and physical benefits drove strong engagement and generated over RMB100 million
   in sales.
 ◦ Achieved triple-digit year-over-year growth in revenues related to live performance
   while growing our IP’s global footprint. We hosted flagship concerts with leading
   K-pop groups, including BABYMONSTER’s concerts in Taiwan, China, and NCT WISH’s
   concerts in Hong Kong, China, and elevated strategic artists such as Will Pan,
   Silence Wang, Tia Ray, Angela Zhang, Jane Zhang, Zhang Yuan, and GAI onto prominent
   domestic and international stages, enhancing their global reach and commercial
   value.

**First ****Quarter 202****6**** Financial Review **

**Total revenues **increased by RMB539 million, or 7.3%, to RMB7.90 billion (US$
1.15 billion) from RMB7.36 billion in the same period of 2025.

 ◦ **Revenues from music related services** increased by 12.2% to RMB6.51 billion(
   US$944 million), compared with RMB5.80 billion in the same period of 2025. The
   increase was driven by solid growth in revenues from membership services and 
   offline performances related services, supplemented by growth in revenues from
   advertising services. Revenues from membership services were RMB4.57 billion (
   US$662 million), representing 6.6% year-over-year growth, compared with RMB4.28
   billion in the same period of 2025. The growth was mainly driven by our continuous
   expansion of SVIP membership privileges, such as early access to offline performances
   and artist-related merchandise, and the launch of other new membership programs,
   such as bubble, WeverseDM, and fan-club membership. Revenues from offline performances
   related services achieved robust year-over-year growth. We successfully staged
   several successful concerts for our strategically collaborated local and Korean
   artists across domestic and overseas markets. The year-over-year increase in 
   revenues from advertising services was primarily due to our more diversified 
   product portfolio and innovative ad formats, such as ad-supported mode.
 ◦ **Revenues from social entertainment services and others** decreased by 11.0%
   to RMB1.38 billion (US$200 million) from RMB1.55 billion in the same period of
   2025.

**Cost of revenues** increased by 5.7% year-over-year to RMB4.35 billion (US$630
million), mainly due to increased costs related to offline performances, advertising
services and other IP related services. Meanwhile, revenue sharing fees decreased,
resulting from declines in both revenue sharing ratio and revenues from social entertainment
services. 

**Gross margin** increased to 44.9% from 44.1% in the same period of 2025, primarily
due to increase in revenues from membership services, along with decreased channel
fee.

**Total operating expenses **increased by 5.9% year-over-year to RMB1.21 billion(
US$176 million). Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased 
to 15.3% from 15.5% in the same period of 2025. 

 ◦ Selling and marketing expenses were RMB271 million (US$39 million), representing
   a 36.2% year-over-year increase. The increase was primarily due to higher channel
   spending and content promotion expenses.
 ◦ General and administrative expenses were RMB940 million (US$136 million), and
   remained relatively stable compared with the same period of 2025.

On an IFRS basis, **net profit **and **net profit attributable to equity holders
of the Company** for the first quarter of 2026 were RMB2.14 billion (US$310 million)
and RMB2.09 billion (US$303 million), respectively. **Basic and diluted earnings
per American Depositary Shares ("ADS") **for the first quarter of 2026 were RMB1.36(
US$0.20) and RMB1.34 (US$0.19), respectively. The Company had weighted averages 
of 1.54 billion basic and 1.56 billion diluted ADSs outstanding, respectively. Each
ADS represents two of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares.

On a non-IFRS basis, **adjusted EBITDA** for the first quarter of 2026 were RMB2.83
billion (US$410 million). **Non-IFRS net profit **was RMB2.33 billion (US$338 million)
and **non-IFRS net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company** was RMB2.27
billion (US$330 million). **Non-IFRS basic and diluted earnings per ADS** were RMB1.48(
US$0.21) and RMB1.46 (US$0.21), respectively. Please refer to the section in this
press release titled "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" for details.

As of March 31, 2026, the combined balance of the Company’s **cash, cash equivalents,
term deposits and short-term investments **amounted to RMB41.00 billion (US$5.94
billion), compared with RMB38.04 billion as of December 31, 2025. 

**Declaration and Payment of 2025 Dividend**

On March 17, 2026, the Company’s board of directors declared a cash dividend of 
US$0.12 per ordinary share, or US$0.24 per ADS, for the year ended December 31, 
2025, to holders of record of ordinary shares and ADSs as of the close of business
on April 2, 2026. The payment for the cash dividend of US$370 million was made in
April 2026.

**Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") **

On April 20, 2026, we released our 2025 ESG Report, detailing our progress in empowering
creators, promoting digital inclusion, and driving sustainability across our value
chain. These initiatives have strengthened our ecosystem’s resilience, leading to
improved ESG ratings and broader recognition from our stakeholders.

**Exchange Rate **

This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars("
USD") at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise
stated, all translations from RMB to USD were made at the rate of RMB6.8980 to US
$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on March 31, 2026, in the H.10 statistical
release of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company makes no representation that the
RMB or USD amounts referred could be converted into USD or RMB, as the case may 
be, at any particular rate or at all. For analytical presentation, all percentages
are calculated using the numbers presented in the financial statements contained
in this earnings release.

**Non-IFRS Financial Measure****s** 

The Company uses non-IFRS financial measures for the period, including non-IFRS 
net profit, adjusted EBITDA(inc.SBC) and adjusted EBITDA, in evaluating its operating
results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. TME believes
that non-IFRS financial measures help identify underlying trends in the Company’s
business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that
the Company includes in its profit for the period. TME believes that non-IFRS financial
measures for the period provide useful information about its results of operations,
enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects 
and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management
in its financial and operational decision-making. 

Non-IFRS financial measures for the period should not be considered in isolation
or construed as an alternative to operating profit, net profit for the period or
any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance.
Investors are encouraged to review non-IFRS financial measures for the period and
the reconciliation to its most directly comparable IFRS measure. Non-IFRS financial
measures for the period presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled
measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s
data. TME encourages investors and others to review its financial information in
its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. 

Adjusted EBITDA(inc.SBC) for the period represents net profit for the period excluding
income tax expense, finance cost, share of profit/loss of associates and joint ventures,
other gains/losses, interest income, depreciation of property, plant and equipment
and right-of-use assets, and amortization of intangible assets. 

Adjusted EBITDA for the period represents net profit for the period excluding income
tax expense, finance cost, share of profit/loss of associates and joint ventures,
other gains/losses, interest income, depreciation of property, plant and equipment
and right-of-use assets, amortization of intangible assets, and share-based compensation
expenses. 

Non-IFRS net profit for the period represents profit for the period excluding amortization
of intangible and other assets arising from business acquisitions or combinations,
share-based compensation expenses, net losses/gains from investments and related
income tax effects.

Please see the "Unaudited Non-IFRS Financial Measures" included in this press release
for a full reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA(inc.SBC), adjusted EBITDA and non-IFRS
net profit for the period to its net profit for the period.
