| Segment Reporting |
33. Segment Reporting There are two operating and reportable segments in the Group (defined in Note1 (a)), including “BIGO” and “All other” for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024. BIGO segment is the Group’s core business segment which primarily includes some of our social entertainment platforms including Bigo Live, Likee, imo and others. All other segment is the Group’s other business segment which primarily includes our social entertainment platform Hago, our smart commerce platform Shopline, certain audio live streaming platforms, and others. The CODM measures the performance of each segment based on metrics of revenues and net income and uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to allocate resources to, each of the segments. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset or liability information. 33.
