• Gross profit of housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services was RMB14.8 million (US$2.1 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 38.2% from RMB10.7 million.
• Gross profit margin of mobility solution services was 21.2%, compared with 4.6% in the second half of 2024.

Financial and Operational Highlights for Full Year 2025

• Revenues from housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services were RMB76.0 million (US$10.9 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 75.9% from RMB43.2 million.
• Gross profit of vehicle export solutions was RMB15.5 million (US$2.2 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 187.4% from RMB5.4 million.
• Gross profit of housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services was RMB18.3 million (US$2.6 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 16.6% from RMB15.7 million.
• Gross profit margin of mobility solution services was 11.2%, compared with 2.9% in 2024.

Mr. Leslie Yu, Quhuo's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Throughout 2025, amid a continuously evolving operating environment, Quhuo remained focused on optimizing its business structure and upgrading its capabilities. We made solid progress in cultivating emerging businesses, adjusting our core operations, and advancing technology initiatives, laying the groundwork for higher-quality growth in the future.

Our housekeeping and accommodation services became a new growth highlight. The continued development of Chengtu Homestay, LaiLai hotel services and our cooperation projects with Beike further validated our platform-based and standardized capabilities in accommodation and housing-related service scenarios, driving growth in both revenue and profitability.

Meanwhile, our cross-border used vehicle export business continued to move toward a more mature stage of development. As early-stage channel development and onboarding costs were gradually absorbed, the operating quality of this business improved steadily, with gross profit increasing significantly, further demonstrating the Company's international growth potential.

In our on-demand delivery business, the Company experienced pressure from industry competition and market dynamics during the year. In response, we launched a major business reorganization and management restructuring in October 2025. As these measures have been progressively implemented, expense ratios have declined significantly, and we expect business efficiency and profitability to improve more visibly beginning in the second quarter of 2026.

At the same time, we have taken proactive measures to strengthen our management processes and internal control infrastructure as part of our broader effort to enhance operating discipline. Since the fourth quarter of 2025, we have enhanced our internal audit capabilities, increased management oversight, and improved monitoring procedures over key business and financial reporting processes. These efforts have already contributed to better cost discipline, stronger operational transparency and improved execution, and we expect the benefits of these enhancements to continue as they become further embedded across the organization.

Behind these developments is the deeper integration of technology and operations. We are actively applying AI agents in homestay operations and used vehicle export platform. In our homestay business, AI agents support dynamic pricing, price monitoring and listing management to improve operating efficiency. In our used vehicle export business, AI agents are used for vehicle sourcing monitoring and matching, document recognition and processing, vehicle inspection, inventory-demand matching, and procurement and refurbishment planning, thereby improving transaction efficiency and operational effectiveness. Looking ahead, we will continue to enhance our operating quality and platform capabilities to create long-term value for shareholders and society."

Unaudited Financial Results of the Second Half of 2025

Total revenues were RMB1,394.5 million (US$199.4 million), compared with total revenues of RMB1,426.9 million in the second half of 2024, representing a slight decrease of 2.3%.

• Revenues from on-demand food delivery solutions were RMB1,290.3 million (US$184.5 million), compared with RMB1,329.4 million in the second half of 2024, representing a slight decrease of 2.9%. The decrease was primarily because we optimized our business by disposing of several underperforming service stations in 2024, which led to a decrease in revenue scale. Increased order volume driven by intensified market competition primarily resulting from delivery platforms aggressively capturing market share, resulting in an increased total market size in the second half of 2025 partially offset such decline.

• Revenues from mobility service solutions, consisting of shared-bike maintenance, ride-hailing and vehicle export solutions, were RMB58.4 million (US$8.4 million), compared with RMB74.7 million in the second half of 2024, representing a decrease of 21.7%. The decrease was primarily due to the optimization of our business by ceasing our ride-hailing solutions services in several underperforming service cities.

• Revenues from housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services were RMB45.7 million (US$6.5 million), representing a sharp increase of 99.8% from RMB22.9 million in the second half of 2024, primarily due to the adoption of online promotion channels in addition to traditional platform-based customer acquisition.

Cost of revenues was RMB1,386.2 million (US$198.2 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 0.6%, primarily attributable to the increase in our labor costs to fulfill higher order volume amid intensified market competition.

General and administrative expenses were RMB111.5million (US$15.9 million), representing an increase of 43.3% from RMB77.8 million in the second half of 2024, primarily attributable to (i) provision for credit loss of long-term receivable from a third party of RMB25.6 million (US$3.7 million), (ii) share-based compensation expenses of RMB3.0 million (US$0.4 million), (iii)an increase of welfare and business development expenses and office expenses  of RMB2.4 million (US$0.3 million), resulting from the expansion into new cities for our housekeeping services.

Research and development expenses were RMB3.5 million (US$0.5 million), representing a decrease of 38.7% from RMB5.8 million in the second half of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in the average compensation level for our research and development personnel as we restructured our R&D team.

We recorded gain on disposal of assets, net, of RMB68.2 million and loss on disposal of assets, net, of RMB1.3 million (US$0.2 million) in the second half of 2024 and 2025, respectively, primarily due to the transfer of certain long-term assets to third parties.

Our interest expense remained stable at RMB2.0 million (US$0.3 million) and RMB1.8 million for the second half of 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily relating to the stability in our average short-term bank borrowings.

We recorded other losses, net, of RMB1.2 million (US$0.2 million) in the second half of 2025, compared to other income, net, of RMB0.4 million in the second half of 2024.

Income tax benefit was RMB13.9 million (US$2.0 million), as compared to income tax benefit of RMB15.7 million in the second half of 2024, primarily because we reversed certain previously unrecognized tax benefits relating to prior years once the applicable statute of limitations expired.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of RMB40.0 million (US$5.7 million) and short-term debt of RMB113.4 million (US$16.2 million).

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Quhuo has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).

Quhuo uses adjusted net income/loss and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net income/loss represents net income/loss before share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net income/loss before income tax benefit/expense, amortization, depreciation and interest. Quhuo believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of share-based compensation expenses, income tax benefits or expenses, amortization, depreciation and interest. Quhuo believes that such non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net income/loss or any other performance measures or as an indicator of Quhuo's operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company's data. Quhuo encourages investors and others to review the Company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Quhuo mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. For more information on this Non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth below.
