Unaudited Financial Results

 

SHENZHEN, CHINA, May 26, 2026 – Aurora Mobile Limited (“Aurora Mobile” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: JG), a leading provider of customer engagement and marketing technology services, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

 

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

 

·

Revenues were RMB93.3 million (US$13.5 million), an increase of 5% year-over-year.

 

·

Cost of revenues was RMB27.0 million (US$3.9 million), a decrease of 10% year-over-year.

 

·

Gross profit was RMB66.3 million (US$9.6 million), an increase of 13% year-over-year.

 

·

Total operating expenses were RMB66.1 million (US$9.6 million), an increase of 9% year-over-year.

 

·

Net income was RMB1.2 million (US$0.2 million), compared with a net loss of RMB1.6 million in the same quarter last year.

 

·

Net income attributable to Aurora Mobile Limited’s shareholders was RMB1.0 million (US$0.1 million), compared with a net loss attributable to Aurora Mobile Limited’s shareholders of RMB2.6 million in the same quarter last year.

 

·

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was RMB1.6 million (US$0.2 million), compared with a RMB1.2 million adjusted net loss in the same quarter last year.

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million), compared with RMB0.5 million in the same quarter last year.

 

Mr. Weidong Luo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aurora Mobile, commented, “We had a great start to financial year 2026. In Q1 of 2026, we:

 

·

Achieved another GAAP net profit quarter, marking our fourth consecutive profitable quarter;

 

·

Delivered 5% year-over-year revenue growth;

 

·

Grew Core Developer Subscription Service revenue to a record high of RMB64.9 million;

 

·

Increased EngageLab’s Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) for March 2026 to US$11.7 million, representing a stunning 172% year-over-year growth;

 

·

Achieved year-over-year growth in gross profit and gross margin; and

 

·

Posted Net Dollar Retention Rate for our core Developer Subscription business, a key SAAS performance indicator, of 103%.”

 

Mr. Shan-Nen Bong, Chief Financial Officer of Aurora Mobile, added, “Q1 was a tough quarter, but we remained resilient and managed to navigate through these rough waters. Our Q1’2026 results speak for themselves: we delivered revenue growth, and our EngageLab business continues to scale new highs. This momentum provides a solid foundation for the rest of 2026. We remain committed to expanding the business on a global level, while maintaining strong spending discipline. We believe this combination is the right strategy to move the business forward.”

 

 

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

 

Revenues were RMB93.3 million (US$13.5 million), an increase of 5% from RMB89.0 million in the same quarter of last year, attributable to a 15% increase in revenue from Developer Services and partially offset by a 19% decrease in revenue from Vertical Applications.

 

Cost of revenues was RMB27.0 million (US$3.9 million), a decrease of 10% from RMB30.1 million in the same quarter of last year. The decrease was mainly due to a RMB2.1 million decrease in media cost and a RMB3.0 million decrease in other direct costs. The impact is partially offset by a RMB1.1 million increase in cloud cost and a RMB1.0 million increase in message channel costs.

 

Gross profit was RMB66.3 million (US$9.6 million), an increase of 13% from RMB58.8 million in the same quarter of last year.

 

Total operating expenses were RMB66.1 million (US$9.6 million), an increase of 9% from RMB60.6 million in the same quarter of last year.

 

·

Research and development expenses were RMB28.7 million (US$4.2 million), an increase of 17% from RMB24.6 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB1.4 million increase in personnel costs and a RMB2.2 million increase in technical service expense.

 

·

Sales and marketing expenses were RMB25.9 million (US$3.8 million), an increase of 11% from RMB23.3 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB2.4 million increase in personnel costs and travelling expenses.

 

·

General and administrative expenses were RMB11.5 million (US$1.7 million), a decrease of 9% from RMB12.7 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB1.8 million decrease in bad debt provision.

 

Income from operations was RMB0.5 million (US$68 thousand), compared with a loss from operations of RMB1.5 million in the same quarter of last year.

 

Net income was RMB1.2 million (US$0.2 million), compared with a net loss of RMB1.6 million in the same quarter of last year.

 

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was RMB1.6 million (US$0.2 million), compared with a RMB1.2 million adjusted net loss in the same quarter of last year.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million), compared with RMB0.5 million for the same quarter of last year.

 

The cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investment were RMB142.2 million (US$20.6 million) as of March 31, 2026, compared with RMB173.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

 

 

Update on Share Repurchase

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had repurchased a total of 441,365 ADSs, of which 41,683 ADSs, or around US$316.1 thousand were repurchased during the first 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 (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 expenses/(benefits) 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.
