Quhuo Reports Unaudited Financial Results for the First Half of
2025
BEIJING, China, Sep 26, 2025 (PRNewswire) -- Quhuo Limited (NASDAQ: QH) (“Quhuo,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”), a leading gig economy platform focusing on local life services in China, today reported its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Financial and Operational Highlights for the First Half of 2025
● | Revenues from housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services were RMB34.8 million (US$4.9 million), representing an increase of 70.8% year-over-year. |
● | Gross profit of vehicle export solutions was RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 17.8% from RMB2.4 million. |
● | Gross profit of housekeeping services and others was RMB8.2 million (US$1.1 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 63.4% from RMB5.0 million. |
● | The Company has expanded housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services to 90 cities nationwide, representing a year-over-year increase from 76 cities in the first half of 2024. |
Mr. Leslie Yu, Chairman and CEO of Quhuo, stated, “In the first half of 2025, despite intense competition and structural shifts across China’s local services market, we executed our dual-track strategy of stabilizing core businesses and developing new models aimed at supporting long-term profitability. Our delivery segment maintained resilience through network adjustment, cost management, and selective site consolidation, which we believe will position us for scale-driven benefits ahead.
Our housekeeping and accommodation segment became a stronger profit driver. Chengtu Homestay showcased a replicable model supported by our proprietary booking system, while LaiLai expanded into broader property services through cooperation with KE Holdings, or Beike, a housing transactions and services platform in China.
Internationally, our used vehicle export business progressed beyond traditional sales model toward our ‘technology empowerment and resources cooperation’ model, reflected in our project in Azerbaijan. This model shifts returns from one-time sales margins to recurring service income, which we believe will provide a more sustainable path for global expansion.
Looking forward, we aim to continue refining operations and scaling new business models to support more sustainable shareholder returns and lasting social value.”
Unaudited Financial Results of the First Half of 2025 Compared to the First Half of 2024
Total revenues decreased by 30.2% from RMB1,619.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to RMB1,131.4 million (US$157.9 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to the following reasons.
● | Revenues from on-demand delivery solutions were RMB1,039.2 million (US$145.1 million), representing a decrease of 30.7% from RMB1,499.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily because we optimized our business by disposing of several underperforming service stations, which led to a decrease in revenue scale. |
● | Revenues from mobility service solutions, consisting of shared-bike maintenance, ride-hailing, vehicle export solutions and freight service solutions, were RMB57.4 million (US$8.0 million), representing a decrease of 42.8% from RMB100.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to (i) a decrease in units of vehicles sold in our vehicle export solution business as a result of introduction of new business model and decease in purchase of vehicles for sales, and (ii) the optimization of our business by ceasing from our ride-hailing solutions services in several underperforming service cities. |
● | Revenues from housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services were RMB34.8 million (US$4.9 million), representing a sharp increase of 70.8% from RMB20.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the adoption of online promotion channels in addition to traditional platform-based customer acquisition. |
Cost of revenues was RMB1,127.3 million (US$157.4 million), representing a decrease of 29.3% year-over-year, primarily attributable to the decreases in our labor costs and service fees paid to service station managers, in line with the decrease in revenues.
As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit was RMB 24.8 million and RMB 4.1 million (US$0.6 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
General and administrative expenses were RMB76.3 million (US$10.7 million), representing an increase of 7.7% from RMB70.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily attributable to (i) an increase of professional service fees from RMB14.5 million in the first half of 2024 to RMB25.2 million (US$3.5 million) in the first half of 2025, due to the issuance costs for ADSs occurred in the first half of 2025 of RMB9.7 million (US$1.4 million), (ii) an increase of welfare and business development expenses and office expenses from RMB12.4 million in the first half of 2024 to RMB15.1 million (US$2.11 million) in the first half of 2025, resulting from the expansion into new cities for its housekeeping services, and offset by (iii) a decrease of labor costs from RMB 36.6 million in the first half of 2024 to RMB30.6 million (US$4.3 million) in the first half of 2025 as a result of our expense control through technological optimization.
Research and development expenses were RMB3.6 million (US$0.5 million), representing a decrease of 27.3% from RMB4.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in the average compensation level for our research and development personnel as we restructured our R&D team.
We recorded gain on disposal of assets, net of RMB7.0 million and RMB5.7 million (US$0.8 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively, primarily due to the transfer of certain long-term assets to third parties.
Our interest expense remained stable at RMB2.2 million (US$0.3 million) and RMB2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily relating to the stability in our average short-term bank borrowings.
We recorded other income, net, of RMB1.0 million (US$0.1 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to other loss, net, of RMB3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposal of investment in a mutual fund in the second half of 2024.
We recorded income tax benefit of RMB17.9 million (US$2.5 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to income tax benefit of RMB2.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the reversal of unrecognized tax benefit recognized in previous years that have passed the retroactive period.
As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of RMB53.0 million (US$7.4 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of 14.0%, from RMB46.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
EBITDA loss was RMB60.2 million (US$8.4 million), as compared to EBITDA loss of RMB34.8 million in the first half of 2024.(1)

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
Quhuo has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).
Quhuo uses EBITDA loss as non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. EBITDA loss represents net loss before income tax benefit, amortization, depreciation and interest expense. Quhuo believes that the non-GAAP financial measure help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of income tax benefits or expenses, amortization, depreciation and interest. Quhuo believes that such non-GAAP financial measure also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measure are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss or any other performance measure or as an indicator of Quhuo’s operating performance. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measure presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measure differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measure to the Company’s data. Quhuo encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Quhuo mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net loss to EBITDA loss, respectively.
