Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the impact of new advertising laws on the gaming industry and e-commerce platforms, particularly focusing on tax implications and advertising costs [1][2][3]. Key Points and Arguments Advertising Law Changes - The new advertising law consolidates information service fees, technical service fees, and advertising publication fees into a single category of advertising fees, resulting in increased costs for companies, particularly in the gaming sector [1][3]. - The maximum tax rate for these fees has increased from 6% to 19%, with any amount exceeding the annual revenue deduction limit of 15% subject to a 25% corporate income tax [1][5]. Impact on Gaming Industry - Marketing expenses in the gaming industry typically account for 30%-50% of revenue, significantly exceeding the 15% deduction limit, leading to additional tax liabilities [1][5]. - The new regulations are expected to reduce advertising spending in the gaming sector by approximately 30%, with an overall contraction of about 15% anticipated for the year [2][20]. Company Responses - Companies are implementing measures such as expense splitting, establishing compliance departments, and adjusting contract processes to manage the new tax implications [4][6]. - For large clients, companies may absorb part of the tax burden to maintain relationships and discuss cost-sharing strategies [6][4]. Challenges Faced by Advertisers - Game advertisers face difficulties with Pixel integration, particularly large companies that struggle with security and internal risk controls, impacting their advertising costs [6]. - Domestic companies must comply with local tax regulations despite having overseas entities, leading to increased operational costs [8]. Financial Reporting Implications - Advertising expenses must now be classified as sales expenses, limiting the deductible amount and increasing tax liabilities for companies that previously classified these as cost items [7][10]. - The shift in classification is expected to raise effective tax rates and reduce net profit margins for gaming companies, especially those listed on A-shares [11][12]. Market Dynamics - The new tax regulations are likely to push advertisers to discontinue investments in unprofitable products and focus on developing new offerings [13]. - The competitive landscape may shift, favoring larger companies with established products that rely less on advertising, while smaller companies, particularly in the casual gaming sector, may face significant pressure [14][15]. E-commerce Sector Adaptations - E-commerce platforms are less affected due to their ability to categorize advertising costs differently, often treating them as production costs rather than advertising fees [21][17]. - Platforms like Bilibili and Douyin are more impacted due to their reliance on gaming-related content and advertising revenue [22]. Conclusion - The new advertising law and tax regulations are reshaping the financial landscape for the gaming industry and e-commerce platforms, leading to increased costs, strategic shifts in advertising spending, and potential market consolidation [20][24].
