Junhong Huang -- Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President

OK. Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining our earnings conference today. The third quarter of 2023 was a transition period for Huya.

Amid the softer industry environment and our proactive business adjustment, we achieved total net revenues of RMB 1.65 billion in the third quarter. We also reported positive net profit exceeding our expectations, with non-GAAP net income reaching RMB 103 million in the quarter. As we continue to strengthen our user base, we are also beginning to make progress in our strategic transformation. As we discussed last quarter, our transformation targets a shift in our commercialization focus, building on our deep experience and success of Huya's game livestreaming business.

We plan to provide more game-related services such as game distribution, in-game item sales, and game advertising. This will empower us to better capture our gamer users' commercial value by satisfying more of their game-related needs, in addition to their content consumption needs. Our main goal this year is to build the business infrastructure required to support these new services while developing terms of cooperation with game studios. Let me share some details of our third quarter efforts.

First, to enhance our game distribution capabilities, we recently upgraded the Huya Live app's existing game center, a one-stop shop where users can preorder and download new games, obtain Huya exclusive gift game toolkits, and view the latest game information. We enriched the game center's game library and improved the product download function, while also encouraging our streamer to participate in game promotion activities. During the quarter, we participated in the distribution of Demi Gods and Semi Devils 2 Mobile and promoted the game on the both our game center and broadcasters channel pages. This early game distribution cooperation's outcome was encouraging, with Huya's distribution channel achieving good initial results in terms of gross billings generated on the first day of the game's launch.

While we continue to optimize our game distribution process and functions, we will also look to partner with more upcoming games for these services. As for the in-game item sales business, we have completed development of our in-game item mall function and add it to our app. This mall function not only offers user to convenient overview of game pop products, but also allowed us to prompt user check-ins and provide consumer rewards to maintain users' purchase stickiness. So far, we have reached cooperation with eight game titles on in-game item sales, including Honor of Kings, CrossFire, and Demi Gods and Semi Devils 2 Mobile.

As the first step, a small number of skins and weapons from these games have been made available in the mall and in the yellow shopping cart on selected visit -- broadcasters live channels. Users can purchase them directly from the yellow shopping cart while watching this broadcaster's live content. Going forward, we will further refine the entire purchasing experience from buying game pops on Huya and building users' Huya accounts with their respective game accounts through claiming purchased virtual items within games. At the same time, we are exploring various operational activities around in-game item sales.

For example, in September, one of Huya's broadcasters held a live event showcasing the first wearing of a newly designed skin item and described the skin's characteristics and effect in detail during gameplay. The system not only attracted fans' attention but also gave players a unique opportunity to gain insight into product before its official launch. Furthermore, in October, we collaborated with a game publisher to introduce a customized skin suit for a popular broadcaster of the game on our platform. The skin suit limited-time exclusive sale on that broadcaster's channel provide proof quite successful, with sales exceeding expectations.

As activities like this gain traction, we will also develop and adopt operational strategy targeting different tiers of broadcasters, thus increasing broadcaster willingness and ability to participate in game item sales services. On the advertising services side, we have thoroughly analyzed our ads loss and ad types and have been begun adjusting our approach accordingly. For brand advertising, which accounts for the majority of our ads, we are deepening our collaboration with advertisers, especially on upcoming game promotions. For example, we worked with a game studio to organize cross-platform campaigns involving our streamers to increase brand exposure for its new game.

Meanwhile, we are increasing our emphasis on performance-based advertising, especially for the currently popular minigames, and exploring other users to increase its effectiveness on our platform. Along with these new strategic initiatives, we believe that sustainable development of our platform's content ecosystem remain vital to Huya's future growth and success. Game-related services will both complement and enhance our livestreaming business as we realize the myriad of synergies emerging across content and operations. We are committed to solidifying Huya's community and maintaining a healthy broadcaster ecology through high-quality broadcaster-generated content and professional esports content, while also leveraging new technologies such as AI-generated content.

Let me give you an update on our latest progress on the AI front. We are actively exploring the application of AIGC across the entire broadcaster content production chain to further improve content creation quality and efficiency, as well as user engagement. For example, our recently developed AI assistant feature offers intelligent chat, fan interaction, game analysis, and minigame widgets function, as well as array of content creation tools. Powered by our tens of billions parameters large language model trained on data from broadcasters streaming content on our platform, as well as natural language processing technologies, AI assistant can imitate our broadcasters' style and tongue while chatting with viewers during live session for an authentic and entertaining user experience.

Furthermore, broadcaster can create customized digital avatar using AI assistants 2D and 3D digital human technologies and AIGC technologies to satisfy various scenarios specific requirements. AI assistant is also equipped with image recognition and AI reasoning capabilities for viewing and evaluating game skins, empowering broadcasters to seamlessly provide real-time analysis of gameplay. In addition, we -- our intelligent editing and generation tools help broadcasters quickly generate high-quality video highlights of their live broadcast content and esport tournament, greatly improve the professionalism and production efficiency to deliver content. In summary, steady execution of our strategy and transformation plan in this quarter lay a solid foundation for our future development.

We are confident that as we strengthen our game livestreaming content ecosystem and expand our presence in the game value chain, we will drive more balanced and sustainable business growth in the long term. With that, I will now turn the call over to our acting co-CEO and VP of finance, Ashley Wu, to share more details on our third quarter results. Ashley, please go ahead.

Ashley Wu -- Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance

Thank you, Vincent, and hello, everyone. I'll continue with some updates on our operating metrics and financials. On the user front, although we continue to be affected, to some extent, by users' and broadcasters' time spent on offline entertainment activities, our diversified esports tournaments and entertainment programming during the summer session boosted Huya's Live mobile MAUs to 86 million for the third quarter of 2022 -- '23, up 3.7% from 82.9 million for the previous quarter and flat year over year. Meanwhile, we maintained our strict marketing and channel spending policies to keep our expenses down.

In the third quarter, the Huya Live app's next month's user retention rate remained above 70%, demonstrating high user stickiness. Let me elaborate on our professional content enrichment. For licensed esports events, we broadcasted about 80 third-party professional esports tournaments in the third quarter of 2023, with total viewership of approximately 480 million. The summer space of LPL, KPL, and LCK were the most watched tournaments of the quarter.

The Counter-Strike 2 events, EPL season 18 and IEM Cologne, which are exclusive to Huya in China, were also quite popular among our users. Overall, we will continue to focus on implementing strict procurement processes for licensed esports tournaments and strengthening operational activities to improve the ROIs of the events. For self-produced content, we continue to enhance our own IP metric and increase our IP's market influence. In the third quarter, we broadcasted about 30 self-organized esports tournaments and entertainment PGC shows, with a cumulative viewership of more than 110 million.

League of Legends Hero Cup, Peacekeeper Elite All-Star Cup Summer, and Honor of Kings Streamer League were our top-performing self-produced events. We also hosted the World Cup All-Star Invitational for Valorant, raising the profile of this newly launched game on our platform. During the ChinaJoy Gaming Expo in Shanghai, we held a series of on-site competitions for HoK, LoL, LoL: Wild Rift, and Valorant, involving our fans, professional players, and popular broadcasters, promoting the integration of live content and offline activities. I also want to highlight that Huya broadcasted the Asian Games 2023 held in Hangzhou from late September to early October.

This year's event featured the debut of esports competitions as major programs. Chinese esports teams performed well this year, which boosted public awareness of esports nationwide. The Asian Games esports events also attracted raw attention from our users with our League of Legends and Honor of Kings events ranking among the top 5 of all our tournaments this quarter in terms of peak concurrent users. Notably, our Asian Games esports broadcast showcased our advanced 4K HDR technology and our commitment to superior viewing experiences.

We were the only broadcast platform to provide 4K HDR support across multiple devices, including Android and iOS app, website, and PC client, for both livestreaming and on-demand video replay, which enable us to bring more delicate details and richer color to the epsorts game series for our users. With our real-time super-resolution image quality technology that supports various devices, we were also able to improve video quality under weak network environments to better meet users' requirements for clarity and smoothness, optimizing their event viewing experience. In addition, we produced commentary programs tailored to the Asian Games esports events to provide new esports viewers with competition-related background information, enhancing their understanding of the events while introducing them to Huya's high-quality, engaging content. Turning now to our financials.

Our third quarter revenues continue to decline due to the challenging market environment and our proactive business adjustments in support of our strategic transformation and prudent operations. Nevertheless, our gross margin remained resilient and reached 13.9% in Q3 as we continue to realize savings in content costs, particularly content licensing and broadcaster-related costs, as well as bandwidth usage. Our total operating expenses in the third quarter decreased 20.7% year over year and 8.7% quarter over quarter, reflecting our ongoing operational optimization efforts across the organization. Let's move on to our Q3 financial details.

Our total net revenues were RMB 1.65 billion for Q3, compared with RMB 2.38 billion for the same period last year. Livestreaming revenues were RMB 1.53 billion for Q3, compared with RMB 2.02 billion for the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in the number of quarterly paying users on Huya Live to 4.2 million for Q3, from 5.5 million for the same period of 2022. The decline in the number of quarterly paying users was primarily attributable to the soft macro and industry environment and our proactive business adjustments, as well as the increase in offline entertainment activities, which affected the time spent by long-tail users on our platform. Advertising and other revenues were RMB 116 million for Q3, compared with RMB 361 million for the same period last year.

This was primarily due to a significant decrease in content sub-licensing revenues. If we exclude the impact of the reduction in content sub-licensing revenues as a result of our amended licensing agreement for LoL metrics in January, the remaining portion of advertising and other revenues recorded single-digit growth year over year. Cost of revenues decreased by 30% year over year to RMB 1.42 billion for Q3, primarily due to decreased revenue sharing fees and content costs, as well as bandwidth costs. Revenue sharing fees and content costs decreased by 31% year over year to RMB 1.23 billion for Q3, primarily due to the decrease in revenue sharing fees associated with the decline in livestreaming revenues, as well as lower costs related to esports content and content creators.

Bandwidth costs decreased by 28% year over year to RMB 83 million for Q3. This was primarily due to improved bandwidth cost management, favorable pricing terms, and continued technology enhancement efforts. Gross profit was RMB 228 million and gross margin was 13.9% for Q3. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP gross profit was RMB 231 million and non-GAAP gross margin was 14% for Q3.

Research and development expenses decreased by 17% year over year to RMB 142 million for Q3, primarily due to decreased personnel-related expenses and share-based compensation expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 24% year over year to RMB 95 million for Q3, primarily due to decreased marketing and promotional fees, as well as personnel-related expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by 23% year over year to RMB 60 million for Q3, primarily due to decreased share-based compensation expenses. Other income was RMB 40 million for Q3, compared with RMB 44 million for the same period last year, primarily due to lower indirect tax refunds and government subsidy.

As a result, operating loss was RMB 29 million for Q3, compared with operating income of RMB 12 million for the same period last year. Interest and short-term investments income was RMB 128 million for Q3, compared with RMB 72 million for the same period last year, primarily due to increased interest rates and improved management of deposit products. Net income attributable to Huya Inc. was RMB 12 million for Q3, compared with RMB 60 million for the same period last year.

Excluding the share-based compensation expenses and impairment loss of investments, non-GAAP net income attributable to Huya Inc. was RMB 103 million for Q3, compared with RMB 106 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income margin was 6.3% for Q3. Diluted net income per ADS was RMB 0.05 for Q3.

Non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS was RMB 0.42 for Q3. As of September 30, 2023, the company had cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, and long-term deposits of RMB 10.6 billion, compared with RMB 10.8 billion as of June 30, 2023. Finally, let me provide an update on our share repurchase program. We announced our share repurchase program of up to U.S.

$100 million over a 12-month period in mid-August 2023. Since then, we have repurchased a total of U.S. $9 million of shares as of the end of Q3. We will continue to execute our share repurchase program, reinforcing our commitment to enhancing shareholder value.

With that, I would now like to open the call to your questions.

Hanyu Liu

Thanks, Ashley, and hello, everyone. [Operator instructions] Today's first question comes from Yiwen Zhang from China Renaissance. Yiwen, your line is open. Please go ahead.

Yiwen Zhang -- China Renaissance -- Analyst

[Foreign language] So, thanks for taking my questions. So, my question is about our strategic transformation. It has been three months since we first introduced back in August. Can you guys discuss about the latest update there? Thank you.

Junhong Huang -- Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President

OK. [Foreign language] In August, we announced the key transformation of commercialization and planned to provide more game-related services, including game distribution, game prop sales, and game advertisements. In addition to meeting the needs of the game users on our platform and content consumption, it can also further meet their broader needs in game-related aspects, thus obtaining higher commercial value for these users. We believe that the main advantage of Huya in developing these businesses are the active game users and streamers on the platforms.

The content output of the streamers and their interaction with users can help achieve more game-related services and a close cooperation relationship between Huya and game manufacturers in terms of the content. [Foreign language] According to our plan, our main goal this year is to build the infrastructure needed for the new business, including the development of relevant functions and products, the connection of users' Huya account and game account. At the same time, we would also establish new business cooperation with some game studios and games to reach cooperative business terms and to run through business processes. For instance, if we take it from the perspective of products and functions, we have now added the in-game item mall function for the sale of game prop in Huya's live broadcast app, and we also realize the connection with the yellow shopping cart function in the live broadcasting room.

At the same time, we also upgraded the game center module for the distribution and optimized the download function and expand the game library that we have. [Foreign language] In terms of game cooperation, we have reached cooperation with eight games, including the Honor of King, CrossFire, Demi Gods and Semi Devils 2 Mobile, in terms of the selling of props and carry out small-scale streamer sales. At the same time, we also begin to explore the cooperation activities related to the sales of game pops as well. For example, we have a streamer who carried out the first launch of the Honor of Kings skin suits and gained high attention from users on the platform.

We also begin to try streamer-customized skin suits and other props. We also made some initial cooperation with several games in game distributing, including the new Demi Gods and Semi Devils Mobile and the MapleStory M, which was launched in August. In terms of game advertising, we have tried to explore some deeper forms of advertising cooperation with game companies such as organizing our streamers to participate in the cross-platform brand exposure events. And for the currently popular minigames, we also paid more attention to the minigames' advertising in the form of performance-based advertising.

OK. [Foreign language] At present, our overall progress in line -- is pretty much in line with our expectations. However, due to the limited number of cooperated games right now, the cooperation of these games are still in a small scale. The income and profit contribution of new business will be relatively small this year.

But we also hope that after all the preparation work has been completed this year, the business scale of game-related services can be effectively expanded and more income can be obtained from next year.

Hanyu Liu

Thank you. We will have the next question. The next question comes from Ritchie Sun from HSBC. Please go ahead.

Ritchie Sun -- HSBC -- Analyst

[Foreign language] I will quickly translate myself. Thank you, management, for taking my question. Can management dissect the revenue impact from Huya's own strategic transformation, as well as the operating adjustments to improve the regulatory compliance? And how does management view the revenue trends in the future, and when can we see the new revenue streams to have a better growth profile? Thank you.

Ashley Wu -- Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance

[Foreign language] The last quarter meeting, we mentioned that in the process of strategic transformation of our business, in order to optimize the internal resources in a targeted manner, we will make some proactive adjustments to the existing livestreaming businesses. At the same time, in order to create a healthier platform environment, Huya has recently taken the initiative to upgrade and optimize the content and functions on the platform. These adjustments caused the decline of our livestreaming revenue in the third quarter. In addition, the overall industry environment and the users' willingness and affordability still need time to be fully restored, which has also affected our income level to some extent.

[Foreign language] However, it is worth pointing out that we are actively optimizing the content cooperation and user experience in the third quarter. The impact of livestreaming revenue was slightly smaller than the company's previous expectations. In the fourth quarter, we expect to continue to be affected by the above-mentioned factors. And because it is a complete quarter affected by the business adjustments, the year-on-year decline of livestreaming revenue may be greater than that in the third quarter.

We hope that after this adjustment, the livestreaming revenue will gradually return to a stable trend. [Foreign language] In terms of advertising and other income, the third quarter was mainly affected by the decline in copyright income, which was due to higher amount of copyright income in the same period last year. Although the income of new business will be in a relatively small scale in the second half of this year, however, if we exclude the impact of the decline in copyrighted income, our third quarter advertising and other income level have achieved both an year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter growth. When our preparations for the new game-related services business are completed, we expect that the new business income will increase faster next year and its proportion to the total income will increase.

Our goal is still to strive to achieve a more balanced income structure by 2025, with the proportion of game-related services income accounting for about 30% of the total revenue.

Hanyu Liu

Thank you. We will take next question. The next question comes from Fiona [Inaudible] from Jefferies. Fiona, please go ahead.

Unknown speaker

[Foreign language] So, I will translate myself. Thanks, management, for taking my questions. I ask the question on behalf of Thomas Chong from Jefferies. My question is, what did Huya [Inaudible] or what Huya have done for the major events such as Asian Games and S13 and how it impacts on the Huya platform traffic? Thanks.

Junhong Huang -- Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President

OK. [Foreign language] From the end of September to the beginning of October, Huya platform broadcasted the events of esports in Hangzhou Asian Games, including the -- you know, when the esports became the first time as an official event in the Asian Games. We cherish this chance of broadcasting the Asian Games esports events. In order to better serve the audiences of the Asian Games, we have provided 4K HDR support across multiple devices for the Asian Games esports events and through real-time super-resolution image quality technology on the four devices side in order to ensure the clarity and smoothness of users viewing in a weak network environment.

In terms of the content, we also made commentaries and comments on the esports events at Asian Games to help the users understand the corresponding events. [Foreign language] The esports events of the Asian Games has received extensive attention from users on our platform, among which, the peak concurrent users, or PCU, of League of Legends and Honor of King related to Asian Games events ranked among the top 5 in the third quarter. In addition, because of the influence of Asian Games and its rich content of esports and events, it has also helped us to attract some new users. We hope to maintain these users through the high-quality and diversified content provided on our platform.

On the whole, due to the short duration of the Asian Games, the positive impact on quarterly MAU was diluted. [Foreign language] The League of Legends World Championship is an important event in Q4. Huya has broadcasted this event for six consecutive years, gradually cultivating the audience's awareness of the event's brand and also cultivated the habit of watching it on Huya platform from the professional event users. We continue to focus on users' viewing and interactive experiences.

In order to provide industry -- in addition to providing industry-leading broadcast quality, this time, we also provide users with professional events services such as customized reservation services, game-watching assistance and MVP voting functions, and other interactive functions. In addition, we've better enhanced the attention and user royalty of the event by combining online and offline operations in Huya's on PGC programs. [Foreign language] This year's S13 competition has not yet completely ended. We're very glad that one team from LPL made it into the final, and we look forward to their great performance in the final.

So far, the overall viewing data of this event is quite good, including the number of users and other key metrics, which have increased compared with S12 in the year of 2022. It has -- also, we will continue to maintain the leading market share. We will also further evaluate the impact of this event after the event closes up.

Hanyu Liu

Thank you. We will take the next question. The next question comes from Lei Zhang from Bank of America. Please go ahead.

Lei Zhang -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst

[Foreign language] Thanks, management, for taking my questions. My questions are mainly regarding margin trend. Specifically, we have some "seasonality impact" for Q4 historically. So, can you give us more color on the margin trend for Q4? And if any preliminary target for the profits in 2024 will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Ashley Wu -- Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance

[Foreign language] In the third quarter, we continued to work hard to control the cost and improve the efficiency. The costs related to streamers and bandwidth were optimized, and therefore, despite the decline in income, the gross profit rate showed some resilience, reaching 13.9%. We also continued to control various operating expenses, especially the sales and administrative expenses. In the third quarter, the total operating expenses declined by 20% year over year, or 8.7% quarter over quarter, and achieved a net profit under GAAP and non-GAAP.

[Foreign language] In the fourth quarter, due to the concentrated schedule of large events, especially the League of Legends S13, our event costs will increase significantly compared to the third quarter. Therefore, this seasonal factor will continue to play a role and may lead to a quarterly loss. However, due to the overall optimization of content costs and continuous streamlining of operating expenses over the entire year, it is expected that the loss in the fourth quarter of this year will be less than the same period last year. [Foreign language] From what we can see currently, because the company's profit level in the first three quarters is better than previously expected, we expect that non-GAAP net profit level in 2023 will turn positive with a small profit level, which is also ahead of our previous expectation of a break-even time for the year.

For the year of 2024, we hope that with the increase of the proportion of game-related services businesses, which, by the way, has a higher gross margin level than the existing livestreaming business, and with cautious and continuous optimization of content costs and operating expenses, we can further enhance the profitability level of our company.

Hanyu Liu

Thank you. Now, we will take our last question today. It is from Ivan Su from Morningstar. Ivan, please go ahead.

Ivan Su -- Morningstar -- Analyst

[Foreign language] Can you share more of your thinking on shares buyback? Will you accelerate your buyback going into the next few quarters? And lastly, can you share your plan on spending down your strong net cash position? Thank you.

Ashley Wu -- Acting Co-Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance

[Foreign language] In the middle of August, we announced a plan of buying back of up to U.S. $100 million worth of shares in the next 12 months. We also hope to use cash more effectively and show the confidence of the board of directors and management of Huya in the future development. And as of September the 30th, we had bought back shares worth $9 million.

We will continue to implement the buyback plan in good place so as to improve shareholders' value. [Foreign language] Regarding our usage of cash, under the current macro environment and competitive climate, we believe that holding enough cash is conducive to maintaining a competitiveness of Huya. On the one hand, we will continue to invest in content ecology, technology, products, as well as overseas markets. On the other hand, we will remain open to investment or mergers or acquisitions in the upper stream or downstream of our ecosystem and carefully consider possible potential opportunities.

We would also dynamically adjust according to the company's operating conditions and market climate. At the same time, we will also seriously consider various forms of return to our shareholders, including repo or dividends, in order to repay the long-term support of our shareholders and improve the efficiency of our cash.

Hanyu Liu

OK. Thank you. Thank you once again for joining us today. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact Huya's investor relations through the contact information provided on our website or Piacente Financial Communications.
