Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB1.6 billion (US$223.7 million), representing a 16.8% increase from RMB1.3 billion for the same period of 2024.
Net revenues from learning services were RMB727.2 million (US$104.0 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a 17.7% increase from RMB617.7 million for the same period of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the strong sales performance of AI-driven subscription services compared with the same period of 2024.
Net revenues from smart devices were RMB176.5 million (US$25.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a 26.6% decrease from RMB240.4 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to the declined demands of smart learning devices in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Net revenues from online marketing services were RMB660.9 million (US$94.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a 37.2% increase from RMB481.7 million for the same period of 2024.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB705.4 million (US$100.9 million), representing a 10.1% increase from RMB640.8 million for the same period of 2024. Gross margin was 45.1% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with 47.8% for the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the declined gross profit margin of online marketing services.
Gross margin for learning services was 62.5% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with 60.0% for the same period of 2024. The improvement was primarily attributable to the improved economies of scale as a result of the increased revenues from learning services.
Gross margin for smart devices decreased to 38.1% for the fourth quarter of 2025 from 43.9% for the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to the increased bill of materials cost for smart devices.
Gross margin for online marketing services was 27.8% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with 34.2% for the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to our strategic expansion of our client base for advertising services. As the collaboration with new clients remains in its nascent stage, the gross margin for these clients holds potential for future improvement.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB645.2 million (US$92.3 million), compared with RMB556.6 million for the same period of last year.
Sales and marketing expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB437.1 million (US$62.5 million), representing an increase of 14.5% from RMB381.8 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by increasing sales and marketing efforts associated with learning services in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB142.6 million (US$20.4 million), representing an increase of 18.2% from RMB120.7 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increased payroll-related expenses including share-based compensation expenses for research and development employees in learning services in the fourth quarter of 2025.
General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB65.4 million (US$9.4 million), representing an increase of 20.9% from RMB54.1 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in expected credit losses on our accounts receivables in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB60.2 million (US$8.6 million), compared with RMB84.2 million for the same period in 2024. The margin of income from operations was 3.8%, compared with 6.3% for the same period of last year.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB184.2 million (US$26.3 million). Youdao's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to implement an effective business plan amid a changing regulatory environment, generate operating cash flows, and secure external financing for future development. To support Youdao's future business, NetEase Group has agreed to provide financial support for ongoing operations in the next thirty-six months starting from May 2024. As of December 31, 2025, Youdao has received various forms of financial support from the NetEase Group, including, among others, RMB878.0 million in short-term loan, and US$132.1 million in long-term loans maturing on March 31, 2027 drawn from the US$300.0 million revolving loan facility.

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues for 2025 were RMB5.9 billion (US$845.0 million), representing a 5.0% increase from RMB5.6 billion for 2024.
Net revenues from learning services were RMB2.6 billion (US$376.2 million) for 2025, representing a 4.2% decrease from RMB2.7 billion for 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the decreased revenue from tutoring services, partially offset by the strong sales performance of AI-driven subscription services. In 2025, we continued to take a disciplined, strategic approach to customer acquisition, which places greater emphasis on higher ROI (return on investment) engagements. We believe this strategy has enhanced the overall resilience and operational efficiency of our business.
Net revenues from smart devices were RMB739.6 million (US$105.8 million) for 2025, representing an 18.2% decrease from RMB903.7 million for 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the declined demands of smart learning devices in 2025.
Net revenues from online marketing services were RMB2.5 billion (US$363.0 million) for 2025, representing a 28.5% increase from RMB2.0 billion for 2024.

Research and development expenses for 2025 were RMB514.2 million (US$73.5 million), representing a decrease of 4.8% from RMB540.0 million for 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased headcount for research and development employees, leading to payroll savings in 2025.
General and administrative expenses for 2025 were RMB197.0 million (US$28.2 million), representing an increase of 5.3% from RMB187.1 million for 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in expected credit losses on our accounts receivables in 2025.

Non-GAAP Measures
Youdao considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income/(loss) per ADS, as supplemental metrics in reviewing and assessing its operating performance and formulating its business plan. The presentation of 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
Youdao defines non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders as net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment of long-term investments, gain from fair value change of long-term investment and adjustment for GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling item for the income/(loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders enables Youdao's management to assess its operating results without considering the impact of these items, which are non-cash charges in nature. Youdao believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company's current operating performance and prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, which possibly do not reflect all items of expense that affect our operations. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures Youdao uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures uses by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this release.
The accompanying table has more details on the reconciliation between our GAAP financial measures that are mostly directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures. Youdao encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
