Datasea's Top Line Growth Fueled by the Expansion of its State-of-the-Art 5G+AI Multimodal Digital Segment in China
BEIJING, Feb. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Datasea Inc. (NASDAQ:DTSS) ("Datasea", the "Company", "we", "us", or "our"), a Nevada−based technology company specializing in 5G+AI multimodal digital solutions and acoustic high−tech innovations, today announced its financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024. The Company reported revenue of approximately $20.5 million, an increase of approximately 81.4% compared to revenue of approximately $11.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was driven by the accelerated adoption of its 5G+AI multimodal digital business services in China due to the Company's continued commercialization of acoustic high-tech products.
Ms. Zhixin Liu, CEO of Datasea, commented, "Our strong performance in the second fiscal quarter reflects the successful expansion of our 5G+AI multimodal digital business customer base, where we continue to be an industry leader. We believe the expanding footprint of our 5G+AI customer base and the initial market penetration of our high-margin acoustic products underscore our ability to innovate and capture emerging opportunities. We remain committed to advancing our technological innovation while driving sustainable growth."
Financial Highlights
- Revenue: Revenue for the Company's second fiscal quarter of 2025 was approximately $20.5 million, an increase of approximately 81.4% compared to revenue of approximately $11.3 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by the growth of the Company's 5G+AI multimodal digital business in China, especially the continuous enhancement of the effectiveness and efficiency of 5G multimodal digital products and services through AI technology.
- Gross Profit: Gross profit for the Company's second fiscal quarter of 2025 was approximately $0.4 million, and our gross margin for the second fiscal quarter was approximately 2.0%. This marks an improvement from the same period in the prior year when the Company recorded gross profit of approximately $0.1 million and a gross margin of approximately 0.9%.
- Intangible Assets: As of December 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the Company's net value of intangible assets was $4,081,544 and $546,001, respectively, reflecting an increase of $3,535,543, or 647%. The increase in intangible assets is crucial to the Company's growth and success. The enhancement of intangible assets, including patents, has simultaneously increased the overall value of the business, promoted sustainable development, and contributed to the Company's long-term success.
- Inventory: As of December 31, 2024, the Company's inventory was $319,932, an increase of $166,349 from $153,583 on June 30, 2024, marking an increase of 108.31%. The increase in inventory primarily reflects the continued rise in customer orders within the acoustic high-tech business. Maintaining an appropriate inventory level helps the Company address sudden surges in demand or price hikes, secure discounts through bulk purchases, reduce procurement costs, and ensure timely capture of sales opportunities during promotions or peak seasons. The inventory growth reflects the healthy expansion of the Company's business and strategic preparations for future growth.
Business Highlights – 5G+AI Multimodal Digital Business
1. Technological Leadership
- The Company's AI multimodal models have made breakthroughs in areas such as sentiment analysis, machine translation, and natural language processing, expanding the boundaries of intelligent system applications. Currently, the Company is integrating DeepSeek's distributed training methods and mixed-precision training techniques, utilizing half-precision (FP16) and single-precision (FP32) floating-point numbers. After fusing multiple sensory inputs, the models are able to enhance data understanding, analysis accuracy, and decision-making reliability.
- In line with the Company's business needs, a self-designed Transformer model architecture has been developed, which is capable of processing inputs from multiple modalities in parallel. Datasea's 5G+AI platform incorporates this architecture, utilizing the self-attention mechanism to deeply learn the complex interactions between modalities. This approach excels in applications such as image-text correlation analysis and audio-video synchronization. After integrating DeepSeek's training methods, the platform will further advance in areas such as natural language generation, multilingual processing, code optimization, and logical reasoning, providing more comprehensive and accurate responses.
2. Key Contracts
- The Company's subsidiaries have signed new contracts worth up to an aggregate of approximately $30 million with Qingdao Ruizhi Yixing, Wuhan Xiaoming Technology, and other clients since last quarter, further reinforcing market penetration.
3. Strategic Collaboration
- We were selected as a prospective strategic partner by China Mobile Internet (a subsidiary of China Mobile), which has the potential to expand our opportunities for large-scale 5G infrastructure project collaborations.
- Our 5G+AI platform is capable of serving 52 million enterprises and 124 million individual businesses in China, facilitating digital transformation across sectors including finance, logistics, and agriculture.
Business Highlights – Acoustic High-Tech Business
1. Technological Innovation
- We are focused on the research and application of multiple advanced acoustic technologies, including ultrasound, infrasound, and Schumann resonance. By integrating the latest findings in acoustics, mechanical transduction, and vibration dynamics, the Company is developing AI-driven acoustic high-tech products with unique competitive advantages.
- We have developed distinct technical expertise in the study and application of non-audible mechanical wave effects, leveraging the cavitation, thermal, and mechanical effects of ultrasound to support a variety of applications such as environmental disinfection, crop pest control, photosynthetic absorption, seed treatment, water purification, safety monitoring, skincare, and healthcare.
2. Product Development
- Our ultrasonic disinfection machine series and the "Star Dream" non-contact sleep aid device utilize Schumann resonance and AI-powered acoustic algorithms to enhance health living and company's product performance.
- Our planned calendar year 2025 acoustic product releases include applications in environmental acoustic technology and neurological acoustic technology, such as the development of a pet deodorizing purifier and mechanical wave-based brain cortical cortisol regulation device, both of which target growing consumer markets.
3. Product Placement and Expansion Plans
- In January 2025, the Company reported that it has partnered with a significant number of beauty and health management companies in Tianjin and Hubei Provinces, introducing acoustic high-tech products to 463 beauty and personal care stores. By the end of calendar year 2025, the Company expects to sell up to 260,000 units of acoustic air disinfection devices and sleep products, with total projected revenue of approximately $19 million (approximately ¥1.33 billion RMB), achieving significant market penetration in Northern China.
- We plan to expand into the U.S. market, including partnerships with U.S. e-commerce platforms and distributors.
- We are strengthening our intellectual property (IP) portfolio, enhancing patents covering ultrasound medical imaging, precision acoustic industrial manufacturing, acoustic applications in agriculture, and acoustic IoT (Internet of Things) technologies.
Operational and Strategic Outlook
- Margin Improvement: We intend to drive profitability by scaling high-margin acoustic products (e.g., ultrasonic sterilizers, sleep aids) and offering technical services through the Company's 5G+AI platform, thereby reducing customer acquisition costs for Company's industrial clients.
- Global Expansion: We plan to accelerate international market entry into the U.S. and Europe and expand our acoustic high-tech business through strategic partnerships and mergers & acquisitions.
- Gross Margin Improvement: We expect to focus on scaling high-margin acoustic products (e.g., ultrasonic sterilizers, sleep aids) and reducing 5G+AI customer acquisition costs.
