Highlights
Although Tencent operates through four business segments, IVAs and MVAs very much remain the backbone of the business. These two divisions accounted for over 92% of the company's total revenues in 2011, with IVAs in particular providing many of the company's revenue streams.
The company is highly reliant on its home market of China, a geography which accounted for over 98% of all revenue in 2011, and growth in China is slowing as the market nears saturation point. Consequently, the company is looking to grow its footprint overseas.
Tencent has adopted a number of strategies aimed at diversifying its revenue streams and growing its footprint overseas. The company has strengthened its presence in online gaming through a series of mergers and acquisitions and has begun to invest more heavily in operations outside of mainland China.
