Net revenues from learning services were RMB795.6 million (US$117.3 million) for the second quarter of 2026, representing a 20.9% increase from RMB657.8 million for the same period of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the strong momentum of tutoring services compared with the same period of 2025.
Net revenues from smart devices were RMB86.8 million (US$12.8 million) for the second quarter of 2026, representing a 31.5% decrease from RMB126.8 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to a decline in demand for smart learning devices.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was RMB716.9 million (US$105.7 million), representing a 17.6% increase from RMB609.4 million for the same period of 2025. Gross margin was 48.9% for the second quarter of 2026, compared with 43.0% for the same period of 2025.
Gross margin for learning services was 65.5% for the second quarter of 2026, compared with 59.8% for the same period of 2025. The improvement was primarily attributable to improved economies of scale resulting from increased revenues from learning services.
Gross margin for smart devices was 32.8% for the second quarter of 2026, compared with 41.5% for the same period of 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to increased bill-of-materials cost for smart devices.

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were RMB605.3 million (US$89.2 million), compared with RMB580.6 million for the same period of last year.
Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were RMB424.1 million (US$62.5 million), representing an increase of 5.5% from RMB401.8 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily driven by increased sales and marketing efforts associated with learning services.
Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were RMB142.0 million (US$20.9 million), representing an increase of 10.7% from RMB128.3 million for the same period of 2025.

2
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were RMB39.2 million (US$5.8 million), representing a decrease of 22.3% from RMB50.4 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in expected credit losses on the Company’s accounts receivables.
Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, income from operations for the second quarter of 2026 was RMB111.5 million (US$16.4 million), increasing by nearly 2.9 times from RMB28.8 million for the same period in 2025. The margin of income from operations was 7.6%, compared with 2.0% for the same period of last year.

For the second quarter of 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB334.2 million (US$49.3 million).

Non-GAAP Measures
Youdao considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS, as supplemental metrics in reviewing and assessing its operating performance and formulating its business plan. The presentation of 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Youdao defines non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders as net income attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment of long-term investments, gain from fair value change of long-term investment and adjustment for GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling item for the loss/(income) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders enables Youdao’s management to assess its operating results without considering the impact of these items, which are non-cash charges in nature. Youdao believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s current operating performance and prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose.
4
Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, which possibly do not reflect all items of expense that affect our operations. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures Youdao uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures uses by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this release.
The accompanying table has more details on the reconciliation between our GAAP financial measures that are mostly directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures. Youdao encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
