RLX Technology Announces Unaudited Second Quarter
2026 Financial Results
SHENZHEN,
August 14, 2026 /PRNEWSWIRE/ - RLX Technology Inc. ("RLX Technology" or the "Company") (NYSE: RLX), a leading
global branded e-vapor company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
| · | Net revenues were RMB1,010.5 million (US$148.9
million) in the second quarter of 2026, increasing by 14.8% from RMB880.0 million in the same period of 2025. |
| · | Gross margin was 35.4% in the second quarter
of 2026, compared with 27.5% in the same period of 2025. |
| · | Non-GAAP income from operations1
was RMB149.6 million (US$22.0 million) in the second quarter of 2026, increasing by 28.8% from RMB116.2 million in the same period of
2025. |
| · | U.S. GAAP net income was RMB222.0 million
(US$32.7 million) in the second quarter of 2026, increasing by 1.6% from RMB218.5 million in the same period of 2025. |
| · | Non-GAAP net income1 was RMB238.8
million (US$35.2 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with RMB291.2 million in the same period of 2025. |
"We
delivered solid second quarter results as we continued to strengthen our global business with a focus on quality, stability, and long-term
resilience," said Ms. Ying (Kate) Wang, Co-founder, Chairperson, and Chief Executive Officer of RLX Technology. "As our
industry matures, competitive advantage is increasingly defined not only by product innovation but also by retail execution and shelf-space
leadership. We have refined our global route-to-market strategies accordingly – deepening store-level execution in Asia while advancing
a dual-engine approach in Europe that balances strategic investment in top-tier local partners with organic growth. At the same time,
we are expanding beyond our leadership in e-vapor into a broader portfolio of smoke-free products, scaling our newly launched modern oral
nicotine pouches and building our presence across other smokeless categories. Supported by a rock-solid balance sheet and disciplined
capital management, we are confident that pairing greater channel autonomy with user-centric products and multi-category innovation will
continue to drive sustainable growth."
Mr. Chao Lu, Chief Financial Officer of RLX
Technology, commented, "Second quarter net revenues were RMB1.01 billion, up 14.8% year over year, with gross profit rising 47.8%
year over year to RMB357.8 million. As expected, revenues and gross profit moderated from the first quarter, which included a disclosed
one-time benefit due to the change of export related regulation. In July 2026, we acquired a 51% equity interest in one of Western
Europe's largest distributors of next-generation smoke-free and FMCG products, deepening our presence in the region. The entity brings
an extensive offline distribution footprint and a proprietary B2B digital marketplace serving a broad base of retail merchants, supporting
long-term regional development. Moving forward, we remain dedicated to disciplined capital allocation, balancing strategic growth investments
with ongoing shareholder returns to maximize long-term shareholder value."
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Net revenues were RMB1,010.5 million (US$148.9
million) in the second quarter of 2026, increasing by 14.8% from RMB880.0 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily
due to the Company’s international expansion and contributions from the Company’s May 2025 acquisition. Net revenues
from international business represented 68.5% of net revenues for the period.
Gross profit was RMB357.8 million (US$52.7
million) in the second quarter of 2026, increasing by 47.8% from RMB242.1 million in the same period of 2025.
1 Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP income from operations
are non-GAAP financial measures. For more information on the Company's non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section “Non-GAAP
Financial Measures” and the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the
end of this press release.
Gross margin increased to 35.4% in the
second quarter of 2026 from 27.5% in the same period of 2025, primarily due to a favorable change in the revenue mix and further supply
chain optimization.
Operating expenses were RMB227.5 million
(US$33.5 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with RMB203.1 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was driven by
higher salary and welfare expenses primarily related to the Company’s May 2025 acquisition, partially offset by a significant
decrease in share-based compensation expenses.
Selling expenses were RMB123.7 million
(US$18.2 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with RMB84.6 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to an increase
in salary and welfare expenses, branding expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses related to the Company’s May 2025
acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expenses.
General and administrative expenses were
RMB74.4 million (US$11.0 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with RMB88.4 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due
to a significant decrease in share-based compensation expenses, partially offset by an increase in legal and other consulting fees.
Research and development expenses were
RMB29.4 million (US$4.3 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with RMB30.1 million in the same period of 2025. The slight decrease
was primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expenses.
U.S. GAAP income from operations was RMB130.4
million (US$19.2 million) in the second quarter of 2026, increasing by 234.7% from RMB39.0 million in the same period of 2025.
Non-GAAP income from operations was RMB149.6
million (US$22.0 million) in the second quarter of 2026, increasing by 28.8% from RMB116.2 million in the same period of 2025.
Income tax expense was RMB24.8 million
(US$3.7 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with RMB28.5 million in the same period of 2025.
U.S. GAAP net income was RMB222.0 million
(US$32.7 million) in the second quarter of 2026, increasing by 1.6% from RMB218.5 million in the same period of 2025.
Non-GAAP net income was RMB238.8 million
(US$35.2 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with RMB291.2 million in the same period of 2025.
U.S. GAAP basic and diluted net income per
American depositary share ("ADS") were RMB0.178 (US$0.026) and RMB0.167 (US$0.025), respectively, in the second quarter
of 2026, compared with U.S. GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS of RMB0.178 and RMB0.166, respectively, in the same period of 2025.
Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS2
were RMB0.190 (US$0.028) and RMB0.178 (US$0.026), respectively, in the second quarter of 2026, compared with non-GAAP basic and diluted
net income per ADS of RMB0.234 and RMB0.218, respectively, in the same period of 2025.
2
Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS is a non-GAAP financial measure. For more information on the Company's non-GAAP financial
measures, please see the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash
and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term bank deposits, net, short-term investments, long-term bank deposits, net, and long-term
investment securities, net, of RMB13,883.4 million (US$2,046.2 million), compared with RMB14,529.7 million as of March 31, 2026.

Strategic Investment
In July 2026, RLX Technology acquired a 51%
equity interest and board control in a leading Western European distributor of next-generation smoke-free and FMCG products. With its
multi-channel logistics network and a proprietary B2B digital ordering platform, the entity provides an established and highly efficient
route-to-market across key European territories. Through this strategic investment, RLX Technology intends to leverage its global supply
chain capabilities and capital resources to drive deep commercial collaboration with this entity, aiming to optimize costs and capture
cross-selling synergies. Its financial results will be consolidated into RLX Technology’s financial statements beginning in the
third quarter of 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP
income from operations and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating
results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Non-GAAP net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation
expenses, amortization and depreciation of assets arising from fair value step-up in business acquisitions, and tax effects on non-GAAP
adjustments. Non-GAAP income from operations represents net income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization
and depreciation of assets arising from fair value step-up in business acquisitions. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS is
computed using non-GAAP net income attributable to RLX Technology Inc. and the same number of ADSs used in the U.S. GAAP basic and diluted
net income per ADS calculation.
The Company presents these non-GAAP financial
measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes
that they help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are
included in net income. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitates investors' assessment of its operating
performance, as they could 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 the management in its financial and operational
decision making.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined
under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools.
They should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income, basic and diluted net income per ADS or any other
measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review its historical non-GAAP financial
measures against the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures 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 our data. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and
not rely on any single financial measure.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial
measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this
press release.
