Mr. Shan-Nen Bong, Chief Financial Officer of Aurora Mobile, added, “This is an exceptionally strong set of financial results. These outcomes did not happen by chance. They are rooted in sound strategic choices, disciplined operating decisions, and consistent execution across the organization. Our financial performance reflects the collective hard work and alignment of our entire team.

We achieved meaningful top-line growth during the quarter, which, together with favorable profitability dynamics, lifted gross profit to its highest level since Q1 2022. This operational strength flowed through to the bottom line, resulting in our highest net profit since we transitioned to the Pure-SAAS model in Q1 2021.

With this proven operating model firmly in place, we are confident in our long-term growth prospects as we move forward.”

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenues were RMB106.5 million (US$15.9 million), an increase of 17% from RMB90.9 million in the same quarter of last year, attributable to a 37% increase in revenue from Developer Services and partially offset by a 31% decrease in revenue from Vertical Applications.

Cost of revenues was RMB35.6 million (US$5.3 million), an increase of 31% from RMB27.1 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was mainly due to a RMB3.2 million increase in media cost and a RMB6.2 million increase in direct costs related to overseas business including One-Time Password (“OTP”), WhatsApp push and GPTBots.ai.

Gross profit was RMB70.9 million (US$10.6 million), an increase of 11% from RMB63.8 million in the same quarter of last year.

Total operating expenses were RMB68.1 million (US$10.2 million), an increase of 6% from RMB64.4 million in the same quarter of last year.

• Research and development expenses were RMB30.2 million (US$4.5 million), an increase of 17% from RMB25.9 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB2.1 million increase in personnel costs and a RMB1.1 million increase in technical service expense.
• Sales and marketing expenses were RMB29.0 million (US$4.3 million), an increase of 9% from RMB26.6 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB2.9 million increase in personnel costs.
• General and administrative expenses were RMB9.0 million (US$1.3 million), a decrease of 24% from RMB11.9 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB1.9 million decrease in bad debt provision and a RMB1.7 million decrease in personnel costs.
  
  

Income from operations was RMB5.5 million (US$0.8 million), compared with RMB0.4 million in the same quarter of last year.

Net income was RMB4.5 million (US$0.7 million), compared with RMB0.7 million in the same quarter of last year.

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was RMB5.0 million (US$0.7 million), compared with RMB1.5 million in the same quarter of last year.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB6.3 million (US$0.9 million), compared with RMB2.8 million for the same quarter of last year.

The cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investment were RMB165.0 million (US$24.6 million) as of September 30, 2026, compared with RMB173.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

Business Outlook Update

The Company is revising its full-year 2026 revenue guidance from a range of RMB450.0 million to RMB480.0 million to a range of RMB405.0 million to RMB415.0 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 8% to 11%. The revision primarily reflects revenue from the Financial Risk Management business coming in below the Company’s previous expectations.

This shortfall was driven by the continued adjustment underway in China's consumer credit and loan facilitation industries. As regulatory requirements continue to be implemented in greater depth, financial institutions and loan facilitation platforms have further adjusted their product pricing, customer mix and business scale. Certain customers have tightened new credit origination and taken a more prudent approach to business budgeting, which in turn has affected demand for the Company’s related data and technology services.

The Company had previously expected customer demand to gradually stabilize following the industry adjustment. However, the depth and duration of the adjustment have exceeded its expectations.

The above outlook is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change.

Update on Share Repurchase

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had repurchased a total of 584,605 ADSs, of which 99,432 ADSs, or around US$532.1 thousand were repurchased during the third quarter in 2026. ADS refers to American Depositary Shares, each 3 ADS representing 40 Class A common shares.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses two non-GAAP measures, adjusted net 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 income as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income/(loss) excluding interest expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, income tax expenses/(benefits) and share-based compensation.

The Company believes that adjusted net 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 income/(loss) from operations and net income/(loss).

The Company believes that adjusted net 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 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.
