Jianpu Technology
Inc. Reports First Half Year 2026 Unaudited Financial Results
Beijing, September 2,
2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jianpu Technology Inc. (“Jianpu,” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: AIJTY), a leading open financial
technology platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first half
year ended June 30, 2026.
First Half Year 2026
Financial Results
Total revenues decreased
by 49.6% to RMB280.9 million (US$41.4 million) in the first half of 2026 from RMB557.6 million in the same period of 2025.
Revenues from recommendation services
decreased by 44.7% to RMB244.8 million (US$36.1 million) in the first half of 2026 from RMB442.4 million in the same period of 2025. The
decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenues from recommendation services for loans amid lower application volumes, and the
decrease in revenues from recommendation services for credit cards following the board-approved wind-down of the business in April 2025.
Revenues from digital intelligence
as a service decreased by 70.2% to RMB15.4 million (US$2.3 million) in the first half of 2026 from RMB51.6 million in the same
period of 2025, primarily due to a contracted customer base.
Revenues from marketing and other
services decreased by 67.5% to RMB20.7 million (US$3.0 million) in the first half of 2026 from RMB63.7 million in the same
period of 2025, primarily due to the board-approved wind-down of certain non-core business activities, which was initiated in April 2025.
Cost of promotion and acquisition
decreased by 57.8% to RMB142.9 million (US$21.1 million) in the first half of 2026 from RMB338.5 million in the same period of 2025. This
decrease was largely driven by the decreased revenues from our loan recommendation services.
Cost of operation decreased
by 58.9% to RMB16.3 million (US$2.4 million) in the first half of 2026 from RMB39.7 million in the same period of 2025. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the decrease in data acquisition costs, which was in line with the decrease in revenue.
Sales and marketing expenses
decreased by 24.1% to RMB48.7 million (US$7.2 million) in the first half of 2026 from RMB64.2 million in the same period of 2025, primarily
attributable to lower payroll expenses, and reduced expenditures related to customer services.
Research and development expenses
decreased by 6.6% to RMB33.7 million (US$5.0 million) in the first half of 2026, from RMB36.4 million in the same period of 2025, primarily
attributable to lower payroll expenses.
General and administrative expenses
decreased by 40.3% to RMB31.0 million (US$4.6 million) in the first half of 2026 from RMB51.9 million in the same period of 2025. The
decrease was primarily due to the decreases in payroll expenses, professional fees and allowance for credit losses.
Income from operations
decreased by 69.1% to RMB8.3 million (US$1.2 million) in the first half of 2026 from RMB26.9 million in the same period of 2025. Operating
income margin was 3.0% in the first half of 2026, compared with 4.8% in the same period of 2025. The decrease was due to lower application
volumes, and the decrease in revenues from recommendation services for credit cards following the board-approved wind-down of the business
in April 2025.
Fair value changes of crypto assets
was an unrealized loss of RMB8.2 million (US$1.2 million) in the first half of 2026, reflecting a decrease in fair value changes of crypto
assets since January 1, 2026.
Others, net was a net income
of RMB0.9 million (US$0.13 million) in the first half of 2026, compared with a net income of RMB0.7 million in the same period of 2025.
Net income was RMB2.4 million
(US$0.4 million) in the first half of 2026, compared with RMB19.1 million in the same period of 2025. Net income margin was 0.9% in the
first half of 2026, compared with 3.4% in the same period of 2025.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income1
was RMB10.9 million (US$1.6 million) in the first half of 2026, compared with RMB29.3 million in the same period of 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted
net income margin1 was 3.9% in the first half of 2026, compared with 5.3% in the same period of 2025.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2
was an income of RMB9.7 million (US$1.4 million), compared with RMB25.8 million in the same period of 2025.
As of June 30, 2026, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB316.2 million (US$46.6 million) and working capital of approximately RMB189.7 million (US$28.0
million). Compared to those as of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and time deposits increased by
RMB9.8 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted
net income/(loss), each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making
purposes.
The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and
adjusted net income/(loss) help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the expenses
and gains that the Company include in income/(loss) from operations and net income/(loss). The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and
adjusted net income/(loss) 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 its management in its financial and operational
decision-making.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income/(loss)
should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net income/(loss) or any other measure of performance or as indicators
of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income/(loss) presented here 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. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in
its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before share-based
compensation expenses, fair value changes of crypto assets and gain from disposal and fair value change of equity investments. EBITDA
represents net income/(loss) before interest income and expenses, income tax benefits/(expenses) and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted net income/(loss) represents net income/(loss)
before share-based compensation expenses, fair value changes of crypto assets and gain from disposal and fair value change of equity investments.
For more information on this non-GAAP financial
measure, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this
document.
