Insights

Financial Analyst

BingEx posted mixed Q2 results with revenue decline but improved margins and doubled net income for shareholders despite competitive pressures.

BingEx's Q2 2025 results reveal a company navigating competitive headwinds with strategic focus on profitability over volume. Revenue declined 12.9% year-over-year to RMB1,024.6 million, reflecting lower order volumes in China's increasingly contested on-demand delivery market. However, the company demonstrated notable efficiency improvements, with gross margin expanding from 10.8% to 12.0%.

The most impressive metric is the 139.9% increase in net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, jumping from RMB22.3 million to RMB53.5 million. This substantial bottom-line improvement occurred despite a 54.4% decrease in operating income, which fell from RMB42.3 million to RMB19.3 million.

The divergence between operating and net income stems primarily from a RMB20.5 million gain from changes in fair value of long-term investments. Administrative expenses surged 82.5%, largely due to increased professional fees and share-based compensation, signaling potential strategic initiatives or corporate restructuring.

BingEx's focus on specialized, high-value delivery services appears to be a deliberate strategy to differentiate from mass-market competitors. The company maintains a solid balance sheet with RMB827.8 million in cash and investments, providing flexibility to weather competitive pressures. Their ongoing share repurchase program (US$2.6 million of a US$30 million authorization) suggests management views the stock as undervalued at current levels.

For investors, the key question is whether BingEx can sustain margin improvements as volumes decline, or if the company can reverse the order volume trend while maintaining enhanced profitability. The management's emphasis on enterprise partnerships and service quality over raw volume indicates a potential path to sustainable differentiation in China's maturing on-demand delivery market.

Revenues were RMB1,024.6 million (US$143.0 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1,176.7 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in order volume amid intensified market competition.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures, namely non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net income margin, as supplemental measures to evaluate our operating results and make financial and operational decisions. Non-GAAP income from operations represents income (loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin is equal to non-GAAP income from operations divided by revenues. Non-GAAP net income represents net income excluding changes in fair value of long-term investments and share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income margin is equal to non-GAAP net income divided by revenues. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders represents net income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding changes in fair value of long-term investments and share-based compensation expenses.

By excluding the impact of changes in fair value of long-term investments and share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain earnings or losses that we include in results based on U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility into key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

Reconciliations of our non-GAAP results to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are set forth in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details on the non-GAAP financial measures.
