Youdao Reports Q3 2025 Profit Growth as AI-Driven Advertising Becomes Top Revenue Source

Youdao Inc. announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2025, reporting net revenue of RMB 1.6 billion (approximately US$200 million). Operating profit for the quarter reached RMB 28.3 million (approximately US$3.93 million), with operating profit for the first three quarters increasing by nearly 150% year-over-year. Operating cash outflow narrowed by 31.7% year-over-year, indicating improved operational efficiency. Advertising revenue surged to RMB 0.74 billion (approximately US$101 million), marking a year-over-year growth of 51.1%. For the first time, advertising became Youdao's largest source of income. The company attributed this growth to the expanded use of its proprietary AI technology in advertising, including AI-driven and self-service enhancements to influencer marketing and real-time campaign performance tracking.
