-- Revenues were RMB90.9 million (US$12.8 million), an increase of 15%
year-over-year.
-- Cost of revenues was RMB27.1 million (US$3.8 million), an increase of 5%
year-over-year.
-- Gross profit was RMB63.8 million (US$9.0 million), an increase of 20%
year-over-year.
-- Total operating expenses were RMB64.4 million (US$9.0 million), an
increase of 13% year-over-year.
-- Net income was RMB0.7 million (US$92 thousand), compared with a net loss
of RMB2.2 million for the same quarter last year.
-- Net loss attributable to Aurora Mobile Limited's shareholders was RMB13
thousand (US$1 thousand), compared with a net loss attributable to Aurora
Mobile Limited's shareholders of RMB2.6 million for the same quarter last
year.
-- Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was RMB1.5 million (US$0.2 million),
compared with a RMB0.9 million adjusted net loss for the same quarter
last year.
-- Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB2.8 million (US$0.4 million), compared
with RMB0.6 million for the same quarter last year.
Mr. Weidong Luo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aurora Mobile, commented, "We achieved another Aurora Mobile's historic milestone again! In this quarter, we recorded the first ever back-to-back quarterly U.S. GAAP net income.
Our team worked hard, executed well and delivered another great quarterly financial results. These include:
-- Our global flagship product, EngageLab, continues to shine with great
year-over-year new customers and cumulative contract value growth. The
ARR ("Annual Recurring Revenue") for September 2025 was at a new
milestone of RMB53.7 million. Compared to a year ago, ARR has grown by
more than 160% in 12 months.
-- Secondly, the Group's total revenue of RMB90.9 million, achieving a
remarkable 15% year-over-year and sequential 1% growth. This RMB90.9
million was at the very high end of the guidance we have provided.
-- Thirdly, our Developer Subscription and Financial Risk Management
business had their best revenue quarter in history.
-- Fourthly, Net Dollar Retention Rate was at 104% for our core Developer
Subscription business for the trailing 12 months period ended September
30, 2025."
Mr. Shan-Nen Bong, Chief Financial Officer of Aurora Mobile, added, "We are encouraged by the Q3 numbers we have delivered. Apart from the above Chris has mentioned, we have recorded net cash inflow from operating activities of RMB23.3 million which boosted our cash balance (including restricted cash and short-term investments) to the highest balance in the past 14 quarters. I believed we are on solid foundation with strong financial position to propel our ongoing and future growth acceleration."
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Revenues were RMB90.9 million (US$12.8 million), an increase of 15% from RMB79.1 million in the same quarter of last year, attributable to a 12% increase in revenue from Developer Services and a 23% increase in revenue from Vertical Applications. In particular, the revenues from Value-Added Services within Developer Services increased by 22% compared to the same quarter of last year.
Cost of revenues was RMB27.1 million (US$3.8 million), an increase of 5% from RMB25.8 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was mainly due to a RMB1.3 million increase in media cost, a RMB0.9 million increase in cloud cost and a RMB2.8 million increase in technical service cost. The impact is partially offset by a RMB3.7 million decrease in short messaging cost.
Gross profit was RMB63.8 million (US$9.0 million), an increase of 20% from RMB53.2 million in the same quarter of last year.
Total operating expenses were RMB64.4 million (US$9.0 million), an increase of 13% from RMB57.1 million in the same quarter of last year.
-- Research and development expenses were RMB25.9 million (US$3.6 million),
an increase of 7% from RMB24.2 million in the same quarter of last year,
mainly due to a RMB1.5 million increase in personnel costs.
-- Sales and marketing expenses were RMB26.6 million (US$3.7 million), an
increase of 19% from RMB22.4 million in the same quarter of last year,
mainly due to a RMB3.8 million increase in personnel costs and a RMB1.0
million increase in marketing expense.
-- General and administrative expenses were RMB11.9 million (US$1.7 million),
an increase of 13% from RMB10.4 million in the same quarter of last year,
mainly due to a RMB0.4 million increase in personnel costs and a RMB0.9
million increase in bad debt provision.
Income from operations was RMB0.4 million (US$63 thousand), compared with a RMB3.6 million loss from operations in the same quarter of last year.
Net income was RMB0.7 million (US$92 thousand), compared with a RMB2.2 million net loss in the same quarter of last year.
Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was RMB1.5 million (US$0.2 million), compared with a RMB0.9 million adjusted net loss in the same quarter of last year.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB2.8 million (US$0.4 million) compared with RMB0.6 million for the same quarter of last year.
The cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investment were RMB141.2 million (US$19.8 million) as of September 30, 2025 compared with RMB119.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
Business Outlook
For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company expects the total revenue to be between RMB94.0 million and RMB96.0 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 1% to 3%.
The above outlook is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company's current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change.
Update on Share Repurchase
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had repurchased a total of 327,084 ADS, of which 4,435 ADSs, or around US$37.7 thousand were repurchased during the third quarter in 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses two non-GAAP measures, adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted EBITDA, as a supplemental measure to review and assess its 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. The Company defines adjusted net (loss)/income as net (loss)/income excluding share-based compensation. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net (loss)/income excluding interest expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, income tax expenses/(benefits) and share-based compensation.
The Company believes that adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that it includes in loss from operations and net (loss)/income.
The Company believes that adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management in their financial and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted EBITDA is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.
Net Dollar Retention Rate
Net Dollar Retention Rate is calculated for a trailing 12-month period by first identifying all Developer Subscription customers (excluding private cloud business) in the prior 12-month period, and then calculating the quotient from dividing the revenue generated from such customers in the trailing 12-month period by the revenue generated from the same group of customers in the prior 12-month period.
Annual Recurring Revenue
We define Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR") as the annualized revenue run rate of subscription agreements from all customers at a point in time. We calculate ARR by taking the monthly recurring revenue ("MRR") and multiplying it by 12. MRR is defined as the recurring revenue run-rate of subscription agreements from all customers for the relevant month.
