AdTiger Corp (01163) reported interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026, highlighting solid top-line momentum but profit compression amid higher operating costs.
Revenue and Profitability • Revenue climbed 16.20% year-on-year to RMB 179.31 million, fuelled by expanded advertiser base (1,684, +5.1% from end-2025) and deeper penetration with media partners. • Gross profit increased 15.30% to RMB 26.38 million; gross margin remained steady at 14.7% (1H25: 14.8%). • Net profit slipped 15.40% to RMB 1.51 million, pulling net margin down to 0.8% (1H25: 1.2%), as operating costs outpaced revenue gains.
Cost Dynamics • Cost of sales rose 16.30% to RMB 152.94 million, driven mainly by a 12.60% surge in traffic acquisition costs and a 253.10% jump in spending on external optimisers and designers. • Selling and distribution expenses rose 25.50% to RMB 6.40 million due to head-count additions, while administrative expenses were broadly flat at RMB 21.89 million.
Cash & Balance Sheet • Cash and cash equivalents fell to RMB 403.04 million (31 Dec 2025: RMB 476.40 million) after a RMB 67.92 million operating cash outflow. • The group remains debt-free; gearing ratio stayed at zero with a current ratio of 1.3. • No interim dividend was declared.
Business Highlights • Finance, utility/content apps and e-commerce accounted for 96.0% of revenue; finance advertising grew to RMB 64.92 million (+11.5% YoY). • Key media inventory partners expanded to 35, including Google, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft and others. • Proprietary AdTensor platform continues migration to AI-driven Agentic workflows, integrating AIGC for content creation, campaign optimisation and data insights.
