YXT.com Reports Unaudited Financial Results for the First Six Months of 2025
SUZHOU, China, August 20, 2025 /GLOBE NEWSWIRE/ - YXT.com Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YXT) (“YXT.com” or the “Company”), a provider of AI-enabled enterprise productivity solutions, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first six months ended June 30, 2025.
Financial Highlights for the First Six Months of 2025
| • | Total revenues were RMB152.9 million (US$21.3 million), compared with RMB165.8 million in the same period of last year. |
| • | Gross margin was 65.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with 61.1% in the same period of last year, representing an increase of 4.0 percentage points. |
| • | Net loss was RMB73.9 million (US$10.3 million), compared with a net income of RMB21.4 million in the same period of last year. Adjusted net loss was RMB64.0 million (US$8.9 million), compared with an adjusted net loss of RMB75.3 million in the same period of last year, representing a decrease of RMB11.3 million. |
| • | Number of subscription customers was 2,358 as of June 30, 2025, compared with 2,481 as of June 30, 2024. Net revenue retention rates of subscription customers decreased to 100.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 102.8% in the same period of last year. The change reflects the Company’s strategic shift towards large enterprise accounts with consistent demand for corporate learning solutions, and an anticipated churn of small and medium-sized customers from the Company’s portfolio. |
| • | Monthly Recurring Revenue (“MRR”1) of AI-related product was RMB0.5million (US$69.9 thousand) as of June 30, 2025, compared with RMB0.2 million as of June 30, 2024. |
Mr. Peter Lu, Director, Founder and Chairman of the Board of YXT.com, commented, “Amid evolving market dynamics, we are successfully incorporating AI-powered corporate learning solutions into our product portfolio, maintaining strong customer retention while strategically prioritizing large enterprise accounts. This strategic focus reflects a broader industrial shift, as organizations increasingly prioritize measurable workforce productivity gains over traditional training metrics. Furthermore, our AI Coach-driven model moves beyond conventional, course-based training to deliver adaptive, interactive learning and personalized tutoring. This approach has fueled the rapid growth of our AI-related product revenue, significantly enhancing enterprise productivity.”
Mr. Shen Cao, Chief Financial Officer of YXT.com, added, “We are making meaningful progress in our path to profitability, driven primarily by expanding gross margins that reflected both cost optimization and product improvements. This margin growth reflects our successful transition toward higher-value offerings, particularly our AI-powered corporate learning solutions.”
Financial Results for the First Six Months of 2025
Revenues
Revenues were RMB152.9 million (US$21.3 million), compared with RMB165.8 million in the same period of last year, representing a decrease of 7.8%.
| • | Revenues from corporate learning solutions were RMB152.4 million (US$21.3 million), compared with RMB164.5 million in the same period of last year. |
| 1 | MRR is calculated based on the accounting adjusted total contract value divided by the number of months of the agreement based on the start and end dates of each contracted line item. |
1 / 9
| • | Revenues from subscription based corporate learning solutions were RMB144.7 million (US$20.2 million), compared with RMB151.9 million in the same period of last year. The change was primarily due to (i) a net impact of RMB4.8 million from operational adjustments, due to (1) our strategic suspension of certain ancillary online teaching tools; (2) our business expansion strategy to focus on large enterprises with strong and steady demand for corporate learning solutions, leading to an expected loss of portion from some small and medium-sized customers and therefore the decrease in the number of our subscription customers during the same periods; and (ii) the deconsolidation of CEIBS PG starting from January 15, 2024, resulting in a decrease of RMB2.4 million. |
| • | Revenues from non-subscription based corporate learning solutions were RMB7.7 million (US$1.1 million), compared with RMB12.6 million in the same period of last year. The change was primarily due to (i) reduced offline solutions reflecting the Company’s strategic emphasis on subscription-based, digitized corporate learning solutions; and (ii) the deconsolidation of CEIBS PG starting from January 15, 2024, resulting in a decrease of RMB0.8 million. |
| • | Revenues from others were RMB0.5 million (US$66.0 thousand), compared with RMB1.3 million in the same period of last year. The change primarily reflects fewer customized software projects completed in the six months ended June 30, 2025, aligning with the Company’s new strategic focus. |
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues was RMB53.4 million (US$7.5 million), compared with RMB64.4 million in the same period of last year, representing a decrease of 17.1%. This was mainly due to (i) raise in productivity in the Company’s operation leveraging AI tools; (ii) decreased staff expenses and third-party infrastructure costs through operational optimization; (iii) lower instructor compensation costs due to the reduction of offline solutions, aligning with our strategic emphasis on subscription-based, digitized and AI-powered corporate learning solutions; and (iv) the deconsolidation of CEIBS PG starting from January 15, 2024, resulting in a decrease of RMB0.7 million.
Gross margin
Gross margin was 65.1%, compared with 61.1% in the same period of last year, representing an increase of 4.0 percentage points. This was mainly driven by the Company’s continual focus on large enterprise subscription customers, higher-marginal-contribution solutions and ongoing cost optimization efforts.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses were RMB61.9 million (US$8.6 million), compared with RMB71.6 million in the same period of last year, representing a decrease of 13.5%. This was mainly due to (i) raise in productivity in acquiring, converting and retaining customers and realizing revenues aided by AI tools and the Company’s branding campaign; (ii) decreases in compensation paid to sales and marketing staff due to the Company’s efforts in better relocating its human resources; and (iii) the deconsolidation of CEIBS PG starting from January 15, 2024, resulting in a decrease of RMB1.7 million.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses were RMB48.3 million (US$6.7 million), compared with RMB59.8 million in the same period of last year, representing a decrease of 19.2%. This was mainly due to (i) increased R&D ROI due to the Company’s new discipline and approach to product-market-fit; (ii) decreases in compensation paid to research and development staff due to the Company’s efforts in better relocating its human resources; and (iii) the deconsolidation of CEIBS PG starting from January 15, 2024, resulting in a decrease of RMB0.2 million.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were RMB54.2 million (US$7.6 million), compared with RMB45.0 million in the same period of last year, representing an increase of 20.4%. This was mainly due to (i) the increase of professional service fees; and (ii) an increase in share-based compensation paid to general and administrative staff due to the execution of the share incentive plan in January 2025. The increase was partially offset by (i) the decrease in compensation paid to general and administrative staff; and (ii) the deconsolidation of CEIBS PG starting from January 15, 2024, resulting in a decrease of RMB1.4 million.

Net loss and adjusted net loss
Net loss was RMB73.9 million (US$10.3 million), compared with a net income of RMB21.4 million in the same period of last year. Adjusted net loss was RMB64.0 million (US$8.9 million), compared with an adjusted net loss of RMB75.3 million in the same period of last year, representing a decrease of 15.0%.
Loss per share
Basic and diluted net loss per share was RMB0.41 (US$0.06), compared with basic and diluted net loss per share of RMB3.82 in the same period of last year. The decrease in basic and diluted net loss per share was primarily attributable to (i) the net accretion of convertible redeemable preferred shares for the six months ended June 30, 2024; and (ii) the increase of weighted average number of ordinary shares.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and short-term investment of RMB235.7 million (US$32.9 million), compared with RMB418.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, we consider and use adjusted net loss as a supplemental non-GAAP measure to review and assess our operating performance. Adjusted net loss is net loss excluding gain on deconsolidation of CEIBS PG, share-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, net of income taxes, to the extent applicable. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure 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. We present the non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We also believe that the use of the non-GAAP measure facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance.
The non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the non-GAAP financial measure is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Further, the non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited. We compensate for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
