- In the fourth quarter of 2025, we reported an operating loss of RMB35.5 million (US$5.1 million), which was primarily attributable to the impact from organizational structure optimization and business model transition incurred during the quarter, as well as the impact of share-based compensation expenses, compared to an operating income of RMB642.5 million in the same quarter of 2024. For the full year 2025, operating income was RMB1,347.2 million (US$192.7 million), representing an operating margin of 10.4%, compared to RMB2,886.6 million, or an operating margin of 23.3%, in 2024.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total net revenues were RMB2,974.5 million (US$425.3 million), compared to RMB3,334.4 million in the same quarter of 2024.
- Net revenues from franchised teahouses in the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB2,434.9 million (US$348.2 million), compared to RMB3,095.9 million in the same quarter of 2024. This was primarily due to the timing and cadence of new product launches during the respective periods and the evolving dynamics of subsidy competition among online delivery platforms in China. Net revenues from franchised teahouses represented 81.9% of the Company’s total net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025.
- Net revenues from company-owned teahouses in the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB539.6 million (US$77.2 million), representing an increase of 126.2% from RMB238.6 million in the same quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly attributable to the conversion in the Company’s domestic teahouse composition and the continued expansion of the company-owned teahouse network in international markets. Net revenues from company-owned teahouses represented 18.1% of the Company’s total net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Total operating expenses were RMB3,010.0 million (US$430.4 million), compared to RMB2,691.9 million in the same quarter of 2024.
- Cost of materials, storage and logistics was RMB1,392.6 million (US$199.1 million), representing a decrease of 13.7% from RMB1,614.3 million in the same quarter of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to reduced cost of raw materials and packaging materials, which generally corresponded with the decline in store sales, as well as enhanced cost management initiatives implemented throughout the supply chain. The decrease also reflects improved pricing power, partially offset by costs associated with selected ingredient upgrades to enhance product flavors and tastes.
- Company-owned teahouse operating costs were RMB376.8 million (US$53.9 million), representing an increase of 130.8% from RMB163.2 million in the same quarter of 2024. The increase mainly resulted from the addition of 446 company-owned teahouses in both Greater China and overseas markets, which led to higher payroll, store rental, utilities, and other store operating expenses.
- Other operating costs were RMB231.4 million (US$33.1 million), representing an increase of 26.9% from RMB182.4 million in the same quarter of 2024. This was mainly due to (i) an increase of RMB21.0 million in payroll expenses (excluding share-based compensation expenses of RMB5.9 million), driven by a larger employee base to support the continued teahouse network expansion and growing overseas operations, and (ii) an increase of RMB5.9 million in share-based compensation expenses. Other operating costs as a percentage of total net revenues were 7.8%, compared to 5.5% in the same quarter of 2024.
- Sales and marketing expenses were RMB373.6 million (US$53.4 million), representing a decrease of 5.6% from RMB395.7 million in the same quarter of 2024. This was mainly driven by lower advertising expenses aligned with cadence of new product launches. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total net revenues were 12.6%, compared to 11.9% in the same quarter of 2024.
- General and administrative expenses were RMB635.6 million (US$90.9 million), representing an increase of 89.0% from RMB336.3 million in the same quarter of 2024. This includes costs from a targeted organizational restructuring to support more agile and efficient operations. The increase reflects the Company's continued investment in its global corporate infrastructure to support international expansion, alongside costs associated with ongoing initiatives to optimize internal processes and resource allocation. This also includes an increase of RMB50.9 million in share-based compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues were 21.4%, compared to 10.1% in the same quarter of 2024.
Net income was RMB33.9 million (US$4.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a net income margin of 1.1%, compared to RMB644.1 million, or a net income margin of 19.3%, in the same quarter of 2024. Net income for the period was supported by financial income from interest earned on the Company’s cash and investment balances and other income, primarily government grants, which helped offset continued investments in the business and supported profitability during the quarter.
Non-GAAP net income was RMB100.0 million (US$14.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a non-GAAP net income margin of 3.4%, compared to RMB644.1 million, or a non-GAAP net income margin of 19.3%, in the same quarter of 2024.
Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share were both RMB0.15 (US$0.02) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB3.69 in the same quarter of 2024.
Non-GAAP basic net income per ordinary share was RMB0.50 (US$0.07) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB3.69 in the same quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP diluted net income per ordinary share was RMB0.49 (US$0.07) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB3.69 in the same quarter of 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents , restricted cash, and time deposits were RMB7,892.4 million (US$1,128.6 million) as of December 31, 2025, compared to RMB4,868.7 million as of December 31, 2024.

In response to the evolving consumption patterns and diversifying channels in China, the Company optimized its methodology for measuring active membership engagement, effective as of the quarter ended December 31, 2025. This revised approach expands tracking beyond the Company’s mobile mini program to encompass traceable member activity across other third-party online delivery and social networking platforms. Management believes this adjustment provides a more comprehensive assessment of user engagement across an expanding digital ecosystem.
Accordingly, the Company has updated its definition of “active members” to capture member accounts registered through any channel of the Company’s membership program, including the Company's mobile mini program and third-party platforms such as Taobao Instant Commerce and Meituan, that have placed at least one product order during a given period. This updated definition better reflects the Company’s omni-channel member engagement strategy and provides enhanced visibility into customer traffic and loyalty. Under the revised methodology, active members totaled approximately 44.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
Key Definitions
- GMV (gross merchandise value) refers to gross merchandise value, a key operating metric that the Company’s management uses to measure and evaluate teahouses’ sales performance, which represents the sales value of product(s) in consumer orders (excluding unfulfilled, canceled or returned consumer orders, and including relevant value-added taxes) before discounts, if any, are applied, including shipping charges paid by consumers for orders placed on its mobile mini program, but excluding those charges paid by consumers for orders placed on other third-party online delivery platforms.
- Average monthly GMV per teahouse in Greater China is calculated by dividing (i) the sum of GMV generated by the monthly fully operational teahouses in Greater China in each calendar month during the specific period by (ii) the sum of the total number of the monthly fully operational teahouses in Greater China in each calendar month during the corresponding period.
- Same store GMV growth refers to the growth rate of GMV generated by same stores in Greater China and/or overseas during that specific period compared to GMV generated by these same stores during the corresponding period in the preceding year. Same stores are defined to be teahouses that (i) have been in operation for at least 13 months, and (ii) without material operational changes in both comparison periods.
- Non-GAAP net income. Calculated by net income excluding share-based compensation expenses.
- Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share. Calculated as non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of basic and diluted shares.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company considers non-GAAP net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental measure to review and assess the operating performance. The presentation of this 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. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of this non-GAAP measure facilitates investors’ assessment of the operating performance.
This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using this non-GAAP financial measure is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the operations. Further, this non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling this non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the performance. The Company encourages you to review the financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure reflects adjustments for share-based compensation expense. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense is appropriate because it eliminates the impact of non-cash expenses that are based upon valuation methodologies and assumptions that vary over time, and the amount of the expense can vary significantly between companies due to factors that are unrelated to their core operating performance and that can be outside of their control. Although the Company excludes share-based compensation expense from the non-GAAP measure, equity compensation has been, and will continue to be, an important part of future compensation strategy and a significant component of future expenses and may increase in future periods.
