The company’s first-quarter results are expected to benefit from cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives that it undertook in the second half of 2022.

Both Momo and Tantan apps are expected to have benefited from a steady user base. The introduction of new features that target high-paying users in the second half of last year is likely to have benefited live streaming revenues.
