Revenues from public cloud services increased by 31.7% Y/Y to 1.63 billion Chinese yuan ($226.9 million), mainly led by higher AI demands. The revenue grew by 20.1% Q/Q.

Revenues from enterprise cloud services were 723.9 million Chinese yuan ($101.0 million), representing a 10.1% year-over-year increase. The revenue grew 17.4% Q/Q  mainly due to expanding demand for software IT services from its customers and the accelerated completion of project delivery in this quarter.

The quarterly margin declined to 14.9% from 17.1% Y/Y and 16.6% Q/Q primarily due to the higher cost of servers, the expansion of its AI business, and the upfront costs incurred for certain customers for its future revenue activity.

Adjusted operating loss improved to 166.4 million Chinese yuan ($23.2 million) from a loss of 188.5 million Chinese yuan Y/Y.
