Our adjusted gross profit was RMB327.7 million, increased by 9.6% year-over-year and decreased by 23.4% quarter-over-quarter. Adjusted gross margin was 16.6% in this quarter, compared with 16.8% in the first quarter 2024 and 19.2% in the fourth quarter last year.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total Revenues reached RMB1,970.0 million (US$271.5¹ million), increased by 10.9% year-over-year from RMB1,775.7 million in the same quarter of 2024 and decreased by 11.7% quarter-over-quarter from RMB2,232.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the expanded revenue from Xiaomi and Kingsoft Ecosystem and AI related customers and our further penetration into enterprise cloud customers. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the seasonality impact for enterprise cloud.

Unless otherwise noted, the translation of RMB into US$ has been made at RMB7.2567 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on March 31, 2025 as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Cost of revenues was RMB1,651.7 million (US$227.6 million), representing an increase of 11.4% from RMB1,482.4 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was mainly due to our investment into AI computing resources. IDC costs decreased by 6.0% year-over-year from RMB768.5 million to RMB722.8 million (US$99.6 million) this quarter. The decrease was mainly due to our strict control over procurement costs. Depreciation and amortization costs increased from RMB183.5 million in the same quarter of 2024 to RMB378.5 million (US$52.2 million) this quarter. The increase was mainly due to the depreciation of newly acquired servers which were allocated to AI business. Solution development and services costs increased by 13.3% year-over-year from RMB446.0 million in the same quarter of 2024 to RMB505.2 million (US$69.6 million) this quarter. The increase was mainly due to the solution personnel expansion of Camelot. Fulfillment costs and other costs were RMB3.1 million (US$0.4 million) and RMB42.1 million (US$5.8 million) this quarter.

Gross profit was RMB318.3 million (US$43.9 million), an increase of 8.5% from RMB293.3 million in the same quarter of 2024, demonstrating our improvements in revenue quality and structure. Gross margin was 16.2%, remaining stable compared with 16.5% in the same period in 2024. Non-GAAP gross profit² was RMB327.7 million (US$45.2 million), compared with RMB299.1 million in the same period in 2024. Non-GAAP gross margin² was 16.6%, compared with 16.8% in the same period in 2024. The improvement of our gross profit was mainly due to the decrease of procurement costs. The sequential decrease of margin was mainly due to the growing investment into AI and the delay of high-margin profile enterprise cloud projects in first quarter.

Total operating expenses were RMB552.5 million (US$76.1 million), decreased by 2.6% from RMB567.4 million in the same quarter last year and increased by 17.7% from RMB469.5 million last quarter. Among which:

Selling and marketing expenses were RMB144.3 million (US$19.9 million), increased by 23.6% from RMB116.8 million in the same period in 2024 and increased by 24.7% from RMB115.8 million last quarter, the increase was due to the increase of one-time-off bonus of share based compensation.

General and administrative expenses were RMB182.0 million (US$25.1 million), decreased by 16.8% from RMB218.7 million in the same period in 2024 and slightly increased by 1.4% from RMB179.5 million last quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the decrease of credit loss expense, which was partially offset by the increase of share based compensation.

Research and development expenses were RMB226.2 million (US$31.2 million), decreased by 2.5% from RMB232.0 million in the same period in 2024 and increased by 29.9% from RMB174.2 million last quarter. The increase was mainly due to our continuous investment into research and development personnel to enhance our technology competitiveness and increase of share based compensation.

Operating loss was RMB234.2 million (US$32.3 million), compared with operating loss of RMB274.2 million in the same quarter of 2024 and RMB43.5 million last quarter. The year-over-year improvement was mainly due to the increase of gross profit and our strict expenses control, while the sequential increase was mainly due to the impact of gross profit and increase of shared based compensation. Non-GAAP operating loss³ was RMB55.8 million (US$7.7 million), compared with operating loss of RMB127.0 million in the same quarter last year and operating profit of RMB24.4 million last quarter.

² Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding share-based compensation allocated in the cost of revenues and we define Non-GAAP gross margin as Non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenues. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP net loss⁴ was RMB190.6 million (US$26.3 million), compared with RMB217.3 million in the same quarter of 2024 and RMB70.3 million last quarter. The year-over-year improvement was mainly due to the revenue quality increase, revenue mix adjustment, strict costs control and expenses control. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the seasonality impact.

Non-GAAP EBITDA⁵ was RMB318.5 million (US$43.9 million), compared with RMB33.2 million in the same quarter of 2024 and RMB359.7 million last quarter. Non-GAAP EBITDA margin was 16.2%, compared with 1.9% in the same quarter of 2024 and 16.1% in the previous quarter. The increase was mainly due to the expansion of AI businesses with higher margin.

Basic and diluted net loss per share was RMB0.08 (US$0.01), compared with RMB0.10 in the same quarter of 2024 and RMB0.05 last quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents were RMB2,322.7 million (US$320.1 million) as of March 31, 2025, compared with RMB2,648.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the investment into operation and the investment into the procurement of computing power equipment.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain non-GAAP measures, Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP operating (loss) profit, Non-GAAP operating (loss) profit margin, Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss margin, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. 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 U.S. GAAP. We define Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding share-based compensation allocated in the cost of revenues, and we define Non-GAAP gross margin as Non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP operating (loss) profit as operating loss excluding share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets and we define Non-GAAP operating (loss) profit margin as Non-GAAP operating (loss) profit as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation and foreign exchange loss (gain), and we define Non-GAAP net loss margin as Non-GAAP net loss as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as Non-GAAP net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense and depreciation and amortization, and we define Non-GAAP EBITDA margin as Non-GAAP EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

We compensate for these limitations by reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
