Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Revenues were RMB89.9 million (US$12.5 million), an increase of 13% from RMB79.4 million in the same quarter of last year, attributable to a 14% increase in revenue from Developer Services and a 10% increase in revenue from Vertical Applications. In particular, the revenues from Value-Added Services within Developer Services increased by 30% compared to the same quarter of last year.
Cost of revenues was RMB30.2 million (US$4.2 million), an increase of 13% from RMB26.7 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was mainly due to a RMB2.4 million increase in media cost and a RMB3.2 million increase in technical service cost. The impact is partially offset by a RMB2.6 million decrease in short messaging cost.
Gross profit was RMB59.6 million (US$8.3 million), an increase of 13% from RMB52.8 million in the same quarter of last year.
Total operating expenses were RMB60.8 million (US$8.5 million), an increase of 11% from RMB54.8 million in the same quarter of last year.
- Research and development expenses were RMB26.0 million (US$3.6 million), an increase of 10% from RMB23.7 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB1.3 million increase in personnel costs, a RMB0.5 million increase in technical service expense, and a RMB0.2 million increase in cloud cost.
- Sales and marketing expenses were RMB22.7 million (US$3.2 million), an increase of 11% from RMB20.5 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB0.9 million increase in personnel costs and a RMB0.4 million increase in marketing expense.
- General and administrative expenses were RMB12.2 million (US$1.7 million), an increase of 14% from RMB10.7 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB0.7 million increase in personnel costs and a one-time RMB0.8 million loss on disposal of property and equipment.
Loss from operations was RMB0.9 million (US$0.1 million), compared with RMB1.0 million in the same quarter of last year.
Net income was RMB0.5 million (US$68 thousand), compared with a RMB1.3 million net loss in the same quarter of last year.
Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was RMB0.8 million (US$0.1 million), compared with a RMB0.4 million adjusted net loss in the same quarter of last year.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB1.2 million (US$0.2 million) compared with RMB1.6 million for the same quarter of last year.
The cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were RMB119.8 million (US$16.7 million) as of June 30, 2025 compared with RMB119.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
Business Outlook
For the third quarter of 2025, the Company expects the total revenue to be between RMB88.0 million and RMB91.0 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 11% to 15%.
The above outlook is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change.
Update on Share Repurchase
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had repurchased a total of 322,649 ADS, of which 27,470 ADSs, or around US$294.9 thousand were repurchased during the second quarter in 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses two non-GAAP measures, adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted EBITDA, as a supplemental measure to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines adjusted net (loss)/income as net (loss)/income excluding share-based compensation. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net (loss)/income excluding interest expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, income tax expenses/(benefits) and share-based compensation.
The Company believes that adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that it includes in loss from operations and net (loss)/income.
The Company believes that adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management in their 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. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted EBITDA is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.
Net Dollar Retention Rate
Net Dollar Retention Rate is calculated for a trailing 12-month period by first identifying all Developer Subscription customers (excluding private cloud business) in the prior 12-month period, and then calculating the quotient from dividing the revenue generated from such customers in the trailing 12-month period by the revenue generated from the same group of customers in the prior 12-month period.
