YXT.COM Group (YXT) loss in six months to June 30 2025 as revenue falls
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
YXT.COM Group Holding Limited reports results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 with revenues of RMB152.9 million (US$21.3 million), down 7.8% from RMB165.8 million a year earlier. Corporate learning solutions remained the core business, while gross profit was RMB99.5 million and gross margin improved to 65.1% from 61.1% as cost of revenues fell through AI-enabled productivity gains, lower staff and infrastructure costs, and a shift toward subscription-based, digitized and AI-powered offerings.
Loss from operations narrowed to RMB64.4 million from RMB73.4 million, but the bottom line swung to a net loss of RMB73.9 million (US$10.3 million) versus net income of RMB21.4 million in 2024, mainly because the prior period included a RMB78.8 million gain on deconsolidating CEIBS Publishing Group and a RMB21.7 million gain from changes in derivative fair value that did not repeat, while 2025 recorded RMB7.4 million of investment losses. Adjusted net loss (non‑GAAP) was RMB64.0 million, modestly better than RMB75.3 million in 2024.
Subscription customers declined from 2,481 to 2,358 and net revenue retention eased from 102.8% to 100.3%, reflecting a strategic focus on larger enterprise accounts and expected churn of smaller customers. Cash and cash equivalents were RMB142.4 million (US$19.9 million), after operating cash outflows of RMB94.9 million and a net current liability position of RMB92.6 million. Management notes that continued operations depend on securing additional loan or equity financing and cost savings, and highlights a new RMB50.0 million (US$7.0 million) credit line obtained after June 30, 2025, while cautioning there is no assurance on future funding terms.
Positive
- Gross margin expansion and cost reductions: Gross margin rose to 65.1% from 61.1% as cost of revenues fell 17.1%, and sales and marketing plus research and development expenses declined 13.5% and 19.2%, reflecting progress in focusing on higher‑margin subscription solutions and operational efficiencies.
- Non-GAAP loss improvement: Adjusted net loss (non‑GAAP) narrowed to RMB64.0 million from RMB75.3 million, indicating some underlying operating improvement despite lower revenue and the absence of prior one‑off gains.

- Sharp deterioration in bottom line: Results moved from net income of RMB21.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to a net loss of RMB73.9 million (US$10.3 million) in 2025, alongside RMB7.4 million of investment losses.
- Strained liquidity and reliance on financing: Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash dropped from RMB418.2 million to RMB142.6 million, the company reported a net current liability of RMB92.6 million, and management states that its ability to continue as a going concern depends on obtaining additional loans or equity financing despite a new RMB50.0 million credit line.
