“We're pleased to see that the Company has now entered a phase of steady and healthy growth. Our performance in this quarter once again underscores the resilience of our business model and the effective execution of our strategic roadmap. We delivered net revenues of RMB523.0 million, coupled with a pronounced acceleration in profitability, as net income surged 40.5% year-over-year to RMB125.4 million. These achivements further validated the durability and scalability of our operations. Our strategic pivot towards high-margin, demand-driven course categories continues to yield tangible financial benefits.
Our focus extends beyond short-term financial performance to the accumulation of intrinsic capabilities. Through refined management and structural cost control, we have established strong operating leverage while maintaining consistent investment in innovation and teaching quality. We believe that healthy cash flow, organizational agility, and a learner-centered product mindset will remain the core pillars of Sunlands’ competitiveness in this new stage,” said Mr. Tongbo Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Sunlands.
Mr. Hangyu Li, Finance Director of Sunlands, commented, “The third quarter results underscore the Company’s focus on profitable growth and operational excellence. Net revenues rose 6.5% year-over-year to RMB523.0 million, driven by strong interest-based course performance. Gross profit climbed 13.1% year-over-year to RMB462.7 million, with operating expenses down 5.5%, driving net income to RMB125.4 million. The balance sheet is robust, with ample cash and positive cash flows from operating actives, reflecting a healthy core business. The gross billings per new student enrollment for interest, professional skills and professional certification preparation courses grew 11.7% year-over-year in the quarter, reflecting steady user acquisition momentum despite a more selective marketing approach. Leveraging silver economy tailwinds and tech innovation, the company will continue creating value for users and shareholders.”

Net Revenues
In the third quarter of 2025, net revenues increased by 6.5% to RMB523.0 million (US$73.5 million) from RMB491.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by shorter average service periods, leading to an increase in revenue recognized during 2025.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues decreased by 26.5% to RMB60.3 million (US$8.5 million) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB82.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to declined cost of revenues from sales of goods such as learning materials and books.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use gross billings, EBITDA, non-GAAP operating cost and expenses, non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP net income per share, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.
We define gross billings for a specific period as the total amount of cash received for the sale of course packages, net of the total amount of refunds paid in such period. Our management uses gross billings as a performance measurement because we generally bill our students for the entire course tuition at the time of sale of our course packages and recognize revenue proportionally over a period. EBITDA is defined as net income excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, and income tax expenses. We believe that gross billings and EBITDA provide valuable insight into the sales of our course packages and the performance of our business.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP measure has been provided in the tables included below. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As gross billings, EBITDA, operating cost and expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, sales and marketing expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, product development expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses, and basic and diluted net income per share excluding share-based compensation expenses have material limitations as an analytical metric and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider gross billings and EBITDA as a substitute for, or superior to, their respective most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
