Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Xunlei Limited reported strong top-line growth but a large GAAP loss for first-quarter 2026. Total revenues from continuing operations reached US$98.6 million, up 54.1% year over year, driven by subscription revenue of US$45.0 million (up 26.2%) and live-streaming and other services revenue of US$53.6 million (up 89.3%).

Gross profit rose to US$57.7 million, with a margin of 58.5%, while operating income improved to US$4.3 million from an operating loss a year earlier. However, fair value changes of long-term investments, mainly in Arashi Vision Inc., led to other losses of US$195.1 million and a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of US$192.4 million.

On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes share-based compensation and fair value changes of long-term investments, Xunlei generated US$4.1 million in net income from continuing operations, with non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS of US$0.07. Including discontinued operations from the disposal of Shenzhen Onething, total net loss was US$174.7 million. The company ended March 31, 2026 with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of US$303.6 million, up from US$283.5 million as of December 31, 2025.

Insights

Core operations improved with strong revenue growth, but GAAP results were dominated by investment fair value losses.

Xunlei delivered rapid expansion in Q1 2026, with total revenues from continuing operations of US$98.6 million, up 54.1% year over year. Growth was broad-based: subscription revenue increased 26.2% to US$45.0 million, while live-streaming and other services almost doubled, rising 89.3% to US$53.6 million.

Profitability from operations improved meaningfully. Gross profit reached US$57.7 million with a 58.5% margin, and operating income turned positive at US$4.3 million versus a loss in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was US$4.1 million, reflecting healthier underlying performance.

However, fair value changes of long-term investments had a major impact. Other losses, net, were US$195.1 million, mainly from the long-term investment in Arashi Vision Inc., driving a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of US$192.4 million. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were US$303.6 million as of March 31, 2026, providing liquidity to support continued growth initiatives.

discontinued operations financial
"Figures presented in this release are related to continuing operations only, excluding results from Shenzhen Onething, unless indicated otherwise."
Discontinued operations are parts of a company that it has decided to sell or shut down, and no longer plans to run in the future. This matters to investors because it helps them understand which parts of the business are ongoing and which are being phased out, providing a clearer picture of the company’s current performance and future prospects. Think of it like a store closing a department—it no longer contributes to sales or profits.
non-GAAP net income financial
"Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was US$4.1 million in the first quarter of 2026."
Non-GAAP net income is a company's profit figure that excludes certain costs or income that are included in standard accounting methods. Companies often use it to show what their earnings might look like without one-time expenses or other unusual items, helping investors see the company's core performance more clearly.
fair value changes of long-term investments financial
"The change ... was primarily attributable to the fair value changes of our long-term investment in Arashi Vision Inc."
distributed cloud services technical
"a leading technology company providing distributed cloud services in China"
ADS financial
"Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS from continuing operations was US$0.07 in the first quarter"
Ads are paid promotional messages a company places across media — online, on TV, in print, or on social platforms — to attract customers, explain products, or shape public perception. For investors, ads matter because they drive sales growth, affect how much a company must spend to win customers, and influence brand strength and long-term value. Ads can also create regulatory or reputational risk if claims are misleading, which can affect profits and stock price.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results (results presented herein exclude Shenzhen Onething, discontinued operations, unless specified otherwise)

 

Total Revenues

 

Total revenues were US$98.6 million, representing an increase of 54.1% year-over-year. The increase in total revenues was mainly attributable to the increased revenues generated from our subscription business and overseas audio live-streaming business.

 

Revenues from subscription were US$45.0 million, representing an increase of 26.2% year-over-year. The increase in subscription revenues was mainly driven by the increase in demand for our subscription services.

 

Revenues from live-streaming and other services were US$53.6 million, representing an increase of 89.3% year-over-year. The increase in live-streaming and other services revenues was mainly due to the increase in revenues from our overseas audio live-streaming business.

 

Costs of Revenues

 

Costs of revenues were US$40.4 million, representing 41.0% of our total revenues, compared with US$24.1 million, or 37.8% of the total revenues, in the same period of 2025. The increase in costs of revenues was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue-sharing expenses in our overseas audio live-streaming operations, generally in line with the growth in live-streaming and other service revenues.

 

The remaining costs of revenues mainly consisted of payment handling charges and bandwidth costs.

 

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

 

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2026 was US$57.7 million, representing an increase of 45.8% year-over-year. Gross profit margin was 58.5% in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 61.9% in the same period of 2025. The increase in gross profit was mainly driven by the increase in gross profit generated from our overseas audio live-streaming business and subscription business. The decrease in gross profit margin was mainly attributable to the increased proportion of live-streaming revenues to total revenues, which has lower gross profit margin.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were US$20.2 million, representing 20.4% of our total revenues, compared with US$16.0 million, or 25.1% of our total revenues, in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the increased technical service fees and labor costs incurred during the quarter.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were US$22.4 million, representing 22.8% of our total revenues, compared with US$14.5 million, or 22.7% of our total revenues, in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily due to more marketing expenses incurred during the quarter for our subscription and overseas audio live-streaming businesses as part of our ongoing efforts on user acquisition.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were US$10.9 million, representing 11.0% of our total revenues, compared with US$10.0 million, or 15.7% of our total revenues, in the same period of 2025.

 

Operating Income/(Loss)

 

Operating income was US$4.3 million, compared with an operating loss of US$1.0 million in the same period of 2025. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to the increase in gross profit.

 

Other (Losses)/Income, Net

 

Other losses, net was US$195.1 million, compared with other income, net of US$1.1 million in the same period of 2025. The change from other income, net to other loss, net was primarily attributable to the fair value changes of our long-term investment in Arashi Vision Inc., which has been measured at fair value through earnings since its initial public offering in June 2025.

 

 

 

Income/(Loss) from Discontinued Operations

 

Income from discontinued operations was US$17.7 million, which comprised the operating loss of US$1.8 million from discontinued operations and a disposal gain of Shenzhen Onething of US$4.3 million together with the allocated income tax benefit related to the disposal of US$15.2 million, compared with a loss from discontinued operations of US$0.8 million in the corresponding period of last year.

 

Net Loss and (Loss)/Earnings Per ADS

 

Net loss from continuing operations was US$192.4 million compared with net loss of US$0.2 million in the same period of 2025. The net loss was primarily due to the increase in other losses, net, partially offset by the increased operating income as discussed above. Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was US$4.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with US$0.9 million in the same period of 2025.

 

Diluted loss per ADS from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2026 was US$3.06, compared with diluted earnings per ADS from continuing operations of US$0.00 in the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS from continuing operations was US$0.07 in the first quarter, compared with non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS from continuing operations of US$0.02 in the same period of 2025.

 

Cash Balance

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of US$303.6 million, compared with US$283.5 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was mainly due to the net cash inflow from operating activities and the proceeds from disposal of 50% equity interest in Shenzhen Onething, but partially offset by the payment of deferred consideration for acquisition of Hupu.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement Xunlei's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Xunlei uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission: (1) non-GAAP operating income, (2) non-GAAP net income from continuing operations, (3) non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share for common shares from continuing operations, and (4) non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS attributable to continuing operations. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

Xunlei believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance by excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment of goodwill, and fair value changes of long-term investments, which are not expected to result in future cash payments, may recur from period to period but are subject to significant market volatility, and which are not indicative of our core operating results and business outlook. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to Xunlei's historical performance and assist the Company's 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 recurring expense in Xunlei's results of operations. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying reconciliation tables at the end of this release include details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has presented, excluding discontinued operations.

 

The Company has not recast prior period non-GAAP measures in the first quarter of 2025 to exclude fair value changes of long-term investments, as such amounts in prior period was immaterial and would not affect investors’ understanding of period-to-period comparisons.
