In brief

What this company does

The company operates two flagship mobile applications: Yalla, a voice-centric group chat platform, and Yalla Ludo, a casual gaming application featuring online versions of board games popular in MENA, with in-game voice chat and localized majlis functions. As of December 31, 2025, it had accumulated user behavior data from 1,037.3 million registered users. It uses servers hosted mainly in data centers in Germany, the United States, Ireland and Mexico. Beyond Yalla and Yalla Ludo, the company's product ecosystem includes Yalla Game Limited, which focuses on mid-core and hard-core games in the MENA region, casual game applications Yalla Baloot, 101 Okey Yalla and Yalla Parchis, the instant-messaging product YallaChat, and WeMuslim, a product that supports Arabic users in observing their customs. Yalla primarily features Yalla rooms, an online version of majlis or cafes, where people spend their leisure time in casual chats. Yalla Ludo resembles a family living room where family members and friends play board games popular in MENA, such as Ludo, Domino and Snakes & Ladders. It generates revenue by providing group chatting and games services, through which individual users consume virtual currencies to purchase virtual items and upgrade services or play games on the platform.

EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
