Hello Group Targets Tantan Breakeven in 2023
SEEKING ALPHA - Hello Group saw its revenue drop 15% in Q3, and forecast a similar decline in the third. The company's strategy involves a turnaround at its loss-making Tantan, which aims to break even by 2023 by cutting costs and rolling out new functions. The company attributed its sluggish business partly to the resurgence of Covid-19. China's tightening regulation of live streaming businesses with new rules implemented early this year also dealt a heavy blow to the company. Its "live video service" revenue - responsible for about half of its total - fell ~30% to 1.5B yuan YOY during the last quarter. Before announcing a name change last August, Hello was known as Momo and has a history dating back to 2011 when its Tinder-style Momo app first took China's dating scene by storm. In 2018, the company paid $760M to add another "meet-up" app called Tantan to its portfolio.

Momo Looks for Excitement With Tantan Overhaul
SEEKING ALPHA - June 11 - Momo believes its underperforming Tantan app could grow strongly following a major overhaul now in the works. Tang Yan's move from the CEO's office was just the beginning of a bigger shakeup. That shakeup claimed new victims in April with the departure of the CEO and COO of the Tantan app that Momo acquired for $760M in 2018. Momo's current CEO Wang Li, formerly Momo's longtime COO, confirmed the changes at the top of Tantan on the company's action-packed investor call following the release of its quarterly earnings this week. Investors seemed to welcome the news, with Momo’s shares up 10% since the announcement of the company's latest quarterly results. The company's revenue fell 3.4% to $543M in the Q1, and Momo said it expects another decline of ~5% in the current quarter. Both of those figures do represent an improvement from the 12% revenue decline from last year, including a 19% drop in the Q4. Q1 profit was similarly uninspired, falling 14%.
