We remain committed to disciplined execution as AI becomes an increasingly powerful lever for margin improvement and long-term growth."

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenues were RMB935.3 million (US$135.6 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB960.8 million in the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by intensifying market competition.

Cost of revenues was RMB829.5 million (US$120.2 million), compared with RMB834.1 million in the same period of 2025. The decrease was in line with the decline in revenues.

Gross profit was RMB105.8 million (US$15.3 million), compared with RMB126.7 million in the same period of 2025. Gross profit margin was 11.3%, compared with 13.2% in the same period of 2025.

Total operating expenses were RMB94.8 million (US$13.7 million), representing a decrease of 18.7% from RMB116.7 million in the same period of 2025.

Selling and marketing expenses were RMB38.5 million (US$5.6 million), representing a decrease of 22.0% from RMB49.3 million in the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in staff costs and advertising expenses.

General and administrative expenses were RMB39.9 million (US$5.8 million), remaining relatively stable compared with RMB37.9 million in the same period of 2025.

Research and development expenses were RMB16.5 million (US$2.4 million), representing a decrease of 44.1% from RMB29.5 million in the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in staff costs and share-based payment expenses.

Income from operations was RMB11.0 million (US$1.6 million), compared with RMB10.0 million in the same period of 2025.

Non-GAAP income from operations¹ was RMB21.6 million (US$3.1 million), compared with RMB26.6 million in the same period of 2025.

Changes in fair value of long-term investments were RMB20.8 million (US$3.0 million), representing a decrease of 51.9% compared with RMB43.3 million in the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in losses from the fair value measurement of long-term investments.

Investment loss was RMB36.2 million (US$5.2 million), compared with an investment income of RMB8.9 million in the same period of 2025, reflecting the decrease in the fair value of short-term investments.

Net loss was RMB42.6 million (US$6.2 million), compared with RMB10.3 million in the same period of 2025.

Non-GAAP net loss¹ was RMB11.1 million (US$1.6 million), compared with non-GAAP net income of RMB49.6 million in the same period of 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures, namely non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net income (loss) margin, as supplemental measures to evaluate our operating results and make financial and operational decisions. Non-GAAP income from operations represents income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin is equal to non-GAAP income from operations divided by revenues. Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net income (loss) excluding changes in fair value of long-term investments and share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income (loss) margin is equal to non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by revenues.

By excluding the impact of changes in fair value of long-term investments and share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain earnings or losses that we include in results based on U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility into key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

Reconciliations of our non-GAAP results to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are set forth in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details on the non-GAAP financial measures.
