Mr. Weidong Luo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aurora Mobile, commented, "2025 marks the first time in our history that we recorded full-year net profit on a GAAP basis!
In addition, we delivered an incredible fourth quarter of 2025 where:
-- Total revenue surpassed the RMB100 million mark to reach RMB105.2 million,
representing a remarkable 13% year-over-year and 16% sequential increase
and exceeding the guidance we issued last quarter.
-- Our global flagship product, EngageLab, accelerated its growth trajectory
as it continues to acquire new customers globally. EngageLab's Annual
Recurring Revenue ("ARR") for December 2025 reached a new milestone of
US$10 million, an increase of 186% year-over-year.
-- Gross profit grew strongly by 23% year-over-year and 9% sequentially,
reaching its highest level for the past 16 quarters.
-- Net Dollar Retention Rate was at 103% for our core Developer Subscription
business for twelve months ended December 31, 2025."
Mr. Shan-Nen Bong, Chief Financial Officer of Aurora Mobile, added, "Throughout all of 2025, we operated with a high level of focus and rigor, along with greater financial discipline. Our financial profile has fundamentally improved and is moving in the right direction. Based on the numbers we delivered for 2025, we have exceeded most, if not all, of our targets. Weidong and I believe we are very well positioned to continue this momentum into 2026."

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Revenues were RMB105.2 million (US$15.0 million), an increase of 13% from RMB93.2 million in the same quarter of last year, attributable to a 7% increase in revenue from Developer Services and a 31% increase in revenue from Vertical Applications.

The decrease was mainly due to a RMB2.4 million decrease in short messaging cost and a RMB1.6 million decrease in media cost.

Gross profit was RMB69.7 million (US$10.0 million), an increase of 23% from RMB56.7 million in the same quarter of last year.

mainly due to a RMB1.9 million increase in personnel costs and a RMB1.9
million increase in technical service expense.
-- Sales and marketing expenses were RMB28.4 million (US$4.1 million), an
increase of 16% from RMB24.6 million in the same quarter of last year,

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 (benefits)/expenses 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.
