Mr. Andy Liu, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, “In the fourth quarter of 2025, we continued to deliver steady progress in our core business, while successfully launching our new consumer-facing product, ‘Yiqi Aixue,’ which is closely aligned with the national ‘AI + Education’ initiative. Driven by the brand recognition and user trust we have cultivated over the past decade, our new AI membership product has achieved strong pre-sale orders and received highly positive market feedback since its launch, demonstrating its robust growth prospects in the quarters ahead.”
Ms. Sishi Zhou, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, added, “We managed to make solid business progress and achieved top-line growth on a year-over-year and quarter-on-quarter basis. Our continued focus on operational efficiency led to a reduction in net loss on a GAAP basis. In addition, fueled by the robust pre-sale demand for our new business initiatives, we generated a significant increase in free cash flow. As of quarter-end, we maintained a healthy cash balance of RMB407.0 million, underscoring the promising trajectory of our new AI-powered offerings.”
Fourth Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB38.9 million (US$5.6 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 6.4% from RMB36.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This was primarily attributable to the increase in net revenues from school-based subscription model business, which is demonstrating its recurring nature as it continues to scale.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB21.0 million (US$3.0 million), representing a year-over-year decrease of 13.6% from RMB24.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, which was mainly due to fewer district-level project deliveries for our teaching and learning SaaS offerings, as a result of the growing proportion of recurring revenue under subscription model that requires fewer hardware and software deliveries.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB17.9 million (US$2.6 million), compared with RMB12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 46.1%, compared with 33.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a 12.5 percentage points increase on a year-on-year basis. The increase was largely attributable to higher contribution from the school-based subscription business with higher margins, as well as enhanced operating leverage as our subscription model business grows.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
17EdTech’s management uses adjusted net income (loss) as a non-GAAP financial measure to gain an understanding of 17EdTech’s comparative operating performance and future prospects.
4
Adjusted net income (loss) represents net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and such adjustment has no impact on income tax.
Adjusted net income (loss) is used by 17EdTech’s management in their financial and operating decision-making as a non-GAAP financial measure; because management believes it reflects 17EdTech’s ongoing business and operating performance in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. 17EdTech’s management believes that such non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating 17EdTech’s operating performance in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. Specifically, 17EdTech believes the non-GAAP measure provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain charges that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results.
The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations. It does not include all items of income and expense that affect 17EdTech’s income from operations. Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measure is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and, with respect to the non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain items under GAAP, does not reflect any benefit that such items may confer to 17EdTech. Management compensates for these limitations by also considering 17EdTech’s financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation from or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
Exchange Rate Information
The Company’s business is primarily conducted in China and all of the revenues are denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”). However, periodic reports made to shareholders will include current period amounts translated into U.S. dollars (“USD” or “US$”) using the exchange rate as of balance sheet date, for the convenience of the readers. Translations of balances in the consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, change in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows from RMB into USD as of and for the three months and the year ended December 31, 2025 are solely for the convenience of the readers and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00=RMB6.9931 representing the noon buying rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on December 31, 2025. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on December 31, 2025, or at any other rate.
