Youdao (NYSE: DAO) posts Q1 2026 profit but leans on NetEase loans
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Youdao, Inc. reported first quarter 2026 net revenues of RMB1.35 billion (US$195.4 million), up 3.8% year over year, driven by 4.2% growth in learning services and 20.9% growth in online marketing services, partially offset by a 42.6% drop in smart devices revenue.
Gross profit was RMB602.3 million with a 44.7% gross margin, slightly below 47.3% a year earlier. Income from operations declined to RMB57.5 million, with operating margin narrowing to 4.3% from 8.0%, and net income attributable to ordinary shareholders fell to RMB38.6 million from RMB76.7 million.

The company states its ability to continue as a going concern depends on executing its business plan and continued financial support, including substantial short- and long-term loans and an extended US$300.0 million revolving loan facility from NetEase Group.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Profitability under pressure: Income from operations fell to RMB57.5 million with operating margin compressing to 4.3% from 8.0%, and net income attributable to shareholders dropped to RMB38.6 million from RMB76.7 million year over year.
- Weak cash profile and cash burn: Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments decreased to RMB515.2 million from RMB743.2 million in three months, while net cash used in operating activities was RMB93.1 million in the first quarter of 2026.
- High leverage and shareholders’ deficit: Total liabilities of RMB3.57 billion significantly exceed total assets of RMB1.67 billion, resulting in a shareholders’ deficit of RMB1.94 billion as of March 31, 2026.
- Going concern dependence on NetEase support: The company states its ability to continue as a going concern depends on executing its business plan and ongoing financial support, including RMB878.0 million in short-term loans and US$118.0 million in long-term loans from NetEase Group and an extended US$300.0 million revolving facility.
Insights
Profit remains positive but leverage, cash burn and reliance on NetEase are key concerns.
Youdao delivered its seventh consecutive quarter of operating profitability, yet income from operations dropped to RMB57.5 million and net income attributable to shareholders fell to RMB38.6 million, roughly half the level a year earlier. Revenue growth of 3.8% was modest and heavily mixed by segment.
The balance sheet shows total assets of RMB1.67 billion against total liabilities of RMB3.57 billion, leaving a shareholders’ deficit of RMB1.94 billion. Cash, equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments declined to RMB515.2 million, while operating activities used RMB93.1 million in cash in the quarter.
Management explicitly notes that the company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on generating operating cash flow and securing external financing. Support from NetEase Group is substantial, including a RMB878.0 million short-term loan and US$118.0 million in long-term loans under a US$300.0 million revolving facility extended to March 31, 2030, underscoring concentration risk in one funding source.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were RMB1.3 billion (US$195.4 million), representing a 3.8% increase from RMB1.3 billion for the same period of 2025.
Net revenues from learning services were RMB627.5 million (US$91.0 million) for the first quarter of 2026, representing a 4.2% increase from RMB602.4 million for the same period of 2025.
Net revenues from smart devices were RMB109.4 million (US$15.9 million) for the first quarter of 2026, representing a 42.6% decrease from RMB190.5 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to a decline in demand for smart learning devices in the first quarter of 2026.
Net revenues from online marketing services were RMB611.1 million (US$88.6 million) for the first quarter of 2026, representing a 20.9% increase from RMB505.4 million for the same period of 2025. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to increased demand for performance-based advertisements through third parties’ internet properties, which was driven by Youdao’s continued investments in AI technology.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2026 was RMB602.3 million (US$87.3 million), largely flat compared with RMB614.2 million for the same period of 2025. Gross margin was 44.7% for the first quarter of 2026, compared with 47.3% for the same period of 2025. The decrease was mainly due to the decline in gross profit margin of smart devices.
Gross margin for learning services was 60.2% for the first quarter of 2026, compared with 59.8% for the same period of 2025.
Gross margin for smart devices was 39.9% for the first quarter of 2026, compared with 52.3% for the same period of 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to increased bill of materials cost for smart devices.
Gross margin for online marketing services was 29.6% for the first quarter of 2026, compared with 30.5% for the same period of 2025.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were RMB544.8 million (US$79.0 million), compared with RMB510.2 million for the same period of last year.
Sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were RMB382.2 million (US$55.4 million), representing an increase of 6.9% from RMB357.6 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily driven by increasing sales and marketing efforts, as well as increased payroll-related expenses and outsourcing labor service fees associated with learning services in the first quarter of 2026.
Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were RMB115.4 million (US$16.7 million), remaining stable with the same period of 2025.
General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were RMB47.2 million (US$6.8 million), representing an increase of 27.4% from RMB37.1 million for the same period of 2025. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in expected credit losses on the Company’s accounts receivables in the first quarter of 2026.
Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, income from operations for the first quarter of 2026 was RMB57.5 million (US$8.3 million), compared with RMB104.0 million for the same period in 2025. The margin of income from operations was 4.3%, compared with 8.0% for the same period of last year.

Other Information
As of March 31, 2026, Youdao’s cash, cash equivalents, current and non-current restricted cash, and short-term investments totaled RMB515.2 million (US$74.7 million), compared with RMB743.2 million as of December 31, 2025. For the first quarter of 2026, net cash used in operating activities was RMB93.1 million (US$13.5 million). Youdao’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to implement an effective business plan amid a changing regulatory environment, generate operating cash flows, and secure external financing for future development.

In April 2026, the Company and NetEase Group both approved an extension of the maturity date of the aforementioned US$300.0 million revolving loan facility to March 31, 2030, including the loans already drawn from it.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s contract liabilities, which mainly consisted of deferred revenues generated from Youdao’s learning services, were RMB667.0 million (US$96.7 million), compared with RMB847.7 million as of December 31, 2025.
Share Repurchase Program
On November 17, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the Company to adopt a share repurchase program in accordance with applicable laws and regulations for up to US$20.0 million of its Class A ordinary shares (including in the form of ADSs) during a period of up to 36 months beginning on November 18, 2022.

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, gain from fair value change of long-term investment and adjustment for GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling item for the (income)/loss 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.
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.
