HANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 29, 2026--
MOGU Inc. $(MOGU)$ ("MOGU" or the "Company"), a KOL-driven online fashion and lifestyle destination in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2025.
Mr. Fan Yiming, Chief Executive Officer of MOGU, commented, "In the first half of the fiscal year 2026, we enhanced our live-streaming programs, refined product planning, and implemented tailored sales incentive strategies for the promotion by our key opinion leaders (KOLs). These initiatives drove significant year-over-year improvements in both live-streaming hours and product conversion rates among our KOLs, resulting in a strong sales performance. During this period, our gross merchandise value (GMV) increased by 24% year-over-year, while total revenue grew by 11%. At the same time, our MCN operations on external platforms continued to stabilize. We have signed over 60 fashion KOLs across various social e-commerce platforms, with sales consistently ranking among the top three for live-streaming agencies on various platforms. Additionally, our core platform business and the MCN operations are now demonstrating clear supply chain synergies."
"During the first half of fiscal year of 2026, our total revenues increased by 11.0% year-over-year to RMB68.7 million for the same period of the 2025 fiscal year. The loss from operations was RMB32.0 million, compared to RMB41.4 million for the same period of the 2025 fiscal year. Over the past six months and into the foreseeable future, we will remain focused on cost reduction and efficiency enhancements, while actively looking for new revenue growth opportunities." added Ms. Qi Feng, the Financial Controller.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net loss as supplemental measures to review and assess 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss)/income before interest income, interest expense, gain from investments, net, gains on deconsolidation of a subsidiary, income tax expenses, share of results of equity method investees, share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and depreciation of property and equipment. The Company defines Adjusted net loss as net (loss)/income excluding gain from investments, net, gains on deconsolidation of a subsidiary, and share-based compensation expenses. See "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release.
The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding certain expenses, gain/loss and other items that are not expected to result in future cash payments or that are non-recurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results and business outlook. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures could provide further information about the Company's results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-SHYGAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, these non-GAAP 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 performance. The Company encourages you to review the Company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.
