Insights

Senior Financial Analyst

Revenue grew modestly while profitability jumped sharply, driven by enrichment learning and cost efficiency.

Revenue rose RMB145.3 million, up 7.9%, while gross profit rose to RMB38.8 million, up 30.9%, lifting gross margin from 22.0% to 26.7%. Net income increased to RMB12.4 million, a 313.9% gain year‑over‑year. The company attributes growth to expansion in its enrichment learning business and expense reductions such as lower share‑based compensation and reduced marketing spend.

Key dependencies and risks remain clear and limited to disclosed items: operating improvement depends on continued expansion of enrichment learning and higher‑margin tourism products, and cash-like balances fell from RMB262.6 million to RMB213.1 million. Interest income declined from RMB7.5 million to RMB3.1 million due to capitalization changes disclosed. Management highlights prudent, phased expansion and margin focus as controls on execution risk.

Watch the upcoming earnings conference call on December 2, 2025 for management color on growth cadence, guidance, and use of cash; also monitor future quarters for sustained margin expansion and whether long‑term investments, which rose to RMB157.9 million, convert to recurring returns within the next two reporting periods.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the Company's business, the Company considers and uses certain non-GAAP measures, including primarily adjusted operating income/loss, adjusted net income/loss and adjusted basic and diluted net income/loss per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company's operating performance. Adjusted operating income/loss is defined as operating income/loss excluding share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted net income/loss is defined as net income/loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and unrealized holding gain/loss in investments (net of tax effect). Adjusted basic/ diluted net income/loss per ADS is defined as basic/diluted net income/loss per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses per ADS and unrealized holding gain/loss in investments per ADS. 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 believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based expenses, unrealized holding gain/loss in investments and impairment loss on intangible assets and goodwill (where applicable) that may not be indicative of the Company's operating performance from a cash perspective. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical performance and liquidity. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in the Company's financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using non-GAAP measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges and unrealized holding gain/loss in investments (where applicable) that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the Company's business. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
