Average monthly active users (MAUs) grew by 17.9% to 44.6 million, driven by refined user acquisition strategies and AI-driven optimizations.

From January 1 through May 16, 2025, Yalla repurchased 4,275,812 ADSs for approximately US$27.4 million, and all shares repurchased this year will be canceled. Yalla also completed first-round product testing on a Match-3 title slated for launch in the third quarter of 2025.
