Dida Inc. released its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Expense and Cost Trends • Cost of services decreased 23.00% to RMB169.51 million, lagging the revenue decline due to fixed platform costs. • Selling and marketing expenses were trimmed 28.80% to RMB121.74 million following tighter subsidy policies. • R&D spending fell 24.79% to RMB104.55 million after headcount optimisation, while administrative expenses almost doubled to RMB73.69 million, driven by one-off severance and higher bonuses.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet • Operations generated RMB78.39 million in net cash (2024: RMB109.04 million). • Free cash outflow from investing reached RMB169.25 million, mainly due to purchases of time deposits and financial assets. • Cash and cash equivalents stood at RMB966.99 million at year-end (2024: RMB1.06 billion); net current assets improved to RMB1.34 billion. • Gearing ratio eased to 27.90% on total liabilities of RMB565.90 million against total assets of RMB2.03 billion.
