Recent Company History

Over the past five earnings cycles from Dec 2024 through Nov 2025, Cheetah Mobile consistently reported revenue growth and improving margins, especially in its AI and others segment. Earlier periods like Q3 and Q4 2024 still featured widening or large operating losses, but through 2025 the company showed progressive loss reduction and occasional operating profits. Today’s full-year 2025 results, highlighting higher growth and non-GAAP operating profitability, extend this transition toward a more profitable, AI-driven model.

Key Terms

non-gaap, value-added services, u.s. gaap, exchange rate, +1 more

5 terms

non-gaap financial

"On a non-GAAP basis, operating profit was RMB 14.2 million..."

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

View in glossary

value-added services financial

"internet value-added services, which contributed 74.8% of this segment's revenues..."

Extra products or services a company offers beyond its main product to make the overall offer more useful, convenient, or profitable — for example, warranty plans, installation, software updates, training, or premium support. Investors care because these services can raise revenue, improve customer loyalty, and boost profit margins in ways that are often steadier than one-time product sales, similar to how a gym membership plus personal training creates ongoing income beyond a single equipment purchase.

u.s. gaap financial

"be the amounts that would have been reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP")."

U.S. GAAP is a set of rules and standards that companies in the United States follow to prepare their financial reports. It helps ensure that financial information is consistent and clear, so investors and others can compare and understand a company's financial health easily.

exchange rate financial

"all translations from Renminbi to U.S. dollars in this press release were made at a rate of RMB6.9931 to US$1.00, the exchange rate in effect..."

Exchange rate is the price of one currency expressed in another—for example, how many euros you receive for one US dollar. It matters to investors because changes in that price alter the reported profits, costs and value of assets for companies and portfolios that operate or hold money across borders; think of it like switching measurement units, where the same item can look bigger or smaller depending on the unit used.

h.10 statistical release regulatory

"as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board."

The H.10 statistical release is a regularly published table of key interest rates — such as short-term Treasury yields, commercial paper, and interbank borrowing costs — compiled by the central bank. It gives a snapshot of borrowing and lending rates across different maturities, which investors use like a weather report for the credit markets: changes can alter borrowing costs, bond prices, and expected returns, so it helps assess market conditions and value assets.

Management Commentary

Fu Sheng, Chief Executive Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: "2025 marked a turning point for Cheetah Mobile. We delivered revenue growth while meaningfully improving operating efficiency and achieved full-year non-GAAP operating profitability. Our robotics business, which represented approximately 18.9% of total revenue in the fourth quarter, increased 93.6% year over year and 42.9% quarter over quarter, showing strong growth momentum. We are expanding our robotic product portfolio with a consumer-facing smart wheelchair, leveraging our existing autonomous mobility technologies. Our internet business remained a stable cash-generating platform, supporting disciplined investment in AI-driven capabilities. Leveraging our long-standing utility product experience, we continued to enhance our AI agent products, with the introduction of EasyClaw, our AI coworker platform designed to help users create and deploy AI agents more easily. While monetization remains at an early stage, these initiatives are part of our long-term strategy to build sustainable growth engines."

Thomas Ren, Chief Financial Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: "In 2025, we continued to strengthen operating discipline and improve cost efficiency across the organization. Although we reported a GAAP operating loss for the year, operating loss narrowed significantly year over year. On a non-GAAP basis, we achieved operating profitability, reflecting an improved cost structure and increasing operating leverage. Within our Internet business, internet value-added services, which contributed 74.8% of this segment's revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025, expanded by 32.0% year over year and 16.2% quarter over quarter, enhancing earnings visibility and margin stability. In our AI and Others segment, revenue contribution increased year over year and accounted for nearly half of total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025, while operating loss narrowed as we maintained selective investment and cost control. We ended the year with a solid cash position, providing financial flexibility to support disciplined capital allocation."

These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including but not limited to:

• Non-GAAP cost of revenues excludes share-based compensation expenses;

• Non-GAAP gross profit excludes share-based compensation expenses;

• Non-GAAP gross margin excludes share-based compensation expenses;

• Total non-GAAP operating expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets  resulting from business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions;

• Non-GAAP research and development expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets  resulting from business acquisitions;

The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of intangible assets  resulting from business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results".
