Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Niu Technologies reported unaudited fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, with full year revenues of RMB 4,307.9 million, up 31.0% year over year. Full year net loss narrowed sharply to RMB 39.4 million from RMB 193.2 million, as gross margin improved to 19.6% from 15.2%, helped by higher-margin e-scooters and cost optimization in China.

In the fourth quarter, revenues fell 17.4% to RMB 676.2 million as total e-scooter sales dropped 23.8%, and net loss widened to RMB 88.1 million. International markets were weak, with Q4 e-scooter revenues there down 58.3% year over year, while accessories, spare parts and services grew 10.9%.

As of December 31, 2025, the company held RMB 1,115.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, term deposits and short-term investments, against RMB 240.0 million of short-term bank borrowings. For 2026, NIU expects first quarter revenues of RMB 887 million to RMB 1,023 million and full year sales volume of 1.7 million to 1.9 million units.

Positive

  • Full year turnaround: 2025 revenues rose 31.0% to RMB 4,307.9 million, while net loss narrowed to RMB 39.4 million from RMB 193.2 million, supported by higher gross margin of 19.6%.
  • Strong 2026 outlook: Management projects first quarter 2026 revenues of RMB 887–1,023 million and full year sales volume of 1.7–1.9 million units, implying 30%–50% and roughly 40%–60% year-over-year growth respectively.

Negative

  • Weak Q4 performance: Fourth quarter 2025 revenues fell 17.4% year over year to RMB 676.2 million, with e-scooter sales volume down 23.8% and net loss widening to RMB 88.1 million.
  • International softness: Q4 e-scooter revenues from international markets dropped 58.3% year over year to RMB 36.3 million, and full year international e-scooter revenues declined 32.9%.

Insights

Strong 2025 rebound and margin gains offset a weak Q4 and soft international demand.

Niu Technologies delivered full year 2025 revenue of RMB 4,307.9 million, up 31.0%, with net loss shrinking to RMB 39.4 million from RMB 193.2 million. Gross margin rose to 19.6%, driven mainly by a richer product mix and cost reductions in China.

Quarterly trends were less favorable. Q4 revenue declined 17.4% to RMB 676.2 million, with e-scooter volumes down 23.8% and net loss widening to RMB 88.1 million. International e-scooter revenue dropped 58.3%, while accessories and services grew double digits, partly stabilizing the top line.

Liquidity appears solid, with RMB 1,115.6 million in cash, term deposits and short-term investments versus RMB 240.0 million of short-term bank borrowings as of December 31, 2025. Management guides first quarter 2026 revenue growth of 30% to 50% and 2026 sales volume of 1.7–1.9 million units, so subsequent filings will reveal whether China strength and new products can offset international softness.

2 The discrepancy in the total number of e-scooters sold in the fourth quarter of 2025 disclosed herein and the sales volume disclosed in the Company’s press release on sales volume update dated January 5, 2026 was due to adjustments made for certain product returns in international markets that occurred subsequently in the first quarter of 2026.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

 

Revenues reached RMB 676.2 million, representing a 17.4% decrease year over year. This decrease was primarily driven by a 23.8% decrease in sales volume, partially offset by a 4.0% increase in revenues per e-scooter. The following table shows the revenue breakdown and revenues per e-scooter in the periods presented:

§E-scooter sales revenues from China market were RMB 544.8 million, a decrease of 15.7% year over year, representing 93.7% of total e-scooter revenues. The decrease was mainly due to a 12.9% decline in sales volume and a 3.2% decrease in revenues per e-scooter in China market.
§E-scooter sales revenues from international markets were RMB 36.3 million, a decrease of 58.3% year over year, representing 6.3% of total e-scooter revenues. The decrease was mainly due to lower sales volume and reduced revenues per e-scooter for kick-scooters in international markets.
§Accessories, spare parts and services revenues were RMB 95.1 million, an increase of 10.9% year over year, representing 14.1% of total revenues. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues from Niu App services, as well as from accessories and spare parts sales in China market.
§Revenues per e-scooter were RMB 3,364, an increase of 4.0% year over year. This increase was primarily due to a higher sales proportion attributable to China market, partially offset by a slight decrease in revenues per e-scooter within China.

 

 

3 Revenues per e-scooter on e-scooter sales from China or international markets is defined as e-scooter sales revenues from China or international markets divided by the number of e-scooters sold in China or international market in a specific period

4 Revenues per e-scooter on accessories, spare parts and services is defined as accessories, spare parts and services revenues divided by the total number of e-scooters sold in a specific period

 

 

 

 

 

Cost of revenues was RMB 573.0 million, a decrease of 20.1% year over year, mainly due to lower sales volume. The cost per e-scooter, defined as cost of revenues divided by the number of e-scooters sold in a specific period, was RMB 3,317, an increase of 4.8% from RMB 3,165 in the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was mainly due to provisions for slow-moving inventory and higher freight costs in international markets, partially offset by cost-reduction initiatives in China market.

 

Gross margin was 15.3%, compared with 12.4% in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to China market, driven by a favorable product mix shift towards higher-margin e-scooters and effective cost-reduction initiatives. This was partially offset by lower gross margin for kick-scooters in international markets.

 

Operating expenses were RMB 206.1 million, an increase of 6.8% from the same period of 2024. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 30.5%, compared with 23.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

§Selling and marketing expenses were RMB 144.1 million (including RMB 0.9 million of share-based compensation expenses), an increase of 5.7% from RMB 136.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly due to an increase of RMB 12.1 million in rental expenses, primarily in international markets, RMB 9.3 million in staff costs, and RMB 3.7 million in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by a decrease of RMB 19.1 million in advertising and promotion expenses primarily in China market. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues were 21.3%, compared with 16.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
§Research and development expenses were RMB 49.5 million (including RMB 2.3 million of share-based compensation expenses), an increase of 28.2% from RMB 38.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly due to an increase of RMB 6.5 million in staff costs and share-based compensation, and RMB 4.4 million in design and testing expenses. Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues were 7.3%, compared with 4.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
§General and administrative expenses were RMB 12.5 million (including RMB 2.4 million of share-based compensation expenses), a decrease of 31.0% from RMB 18.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly due to a decrease of RMB 14.8 million in taxes and surcharges, partially offset by an increase of RMB 11.2 million in foreign exchange losses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 1.8%, compared with 2.2% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

Operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses were RMB 200.6 million, an increase of 7.1% year over year, representing 29.7% of revenues, compared with 22.9% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

§Selling and marketing expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses were RMB 143.2 million, an increase of 6.1% year over year, representing 21.2% of revenues, compared with 16.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Cost of revenues was RMB 3,464.3 million, an increase of 24.2% year over year, mainly due to higher e-scooter sales volume. The cost per e-scooter, defined as cost of revenues divided by the number of e-scooters sold in a specific period, was RMB 2,906, a decrease of 3.7% from RMB 3,018 in 2024.

 

Gross margin was 19.6%, compared with 15.2% in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by China market, reflecting a strategic shift in product mix towards higher-margin e-scooters and our continued cost-optimization initiatives. This was partially offset by a lower gross margin for kick-scooters in international markets.

 

Operating expenses were RMB 933.2 million, an increase of 24.4% from RMB 750.3 million in 2024. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 21.7%, compared with 22.8% in 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement NIU’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), NIU uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) margin. 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 GAAP. NIU believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its operating results. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to 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 NIU’s historical performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant component in the Company’s results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures 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.

 

 

 

 

 

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted net income (loss) margin is defined as adjusted net income (loss) as a percentage of the revenues.
