BEIJING, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Datasea Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSS) ("Datasea" or the "Company"), a Nevada-based high-tech enterprise engaged in acoustic technologies and AI multimodal digitalization, today announces its unaudited financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Additional information will also be set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights

• Revenue: $13.81 million as compared to $21.08 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of 34.5%, due to the Company's strategic optimization of its high technology business and a reduction of its low margin operations.
• Gross Profit: $1.17 million as compared to $0.02 million, an increase of 5.9x as compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting cost rationalization and operational efficiencies, and a strategic focus on bottom line profitability, driven by high-tech product expansion.
• Gross Margin: 8.46% as compared to 0.93% for the first quarter of 2025, an improvement of 753 basis points, attributable to a higher contribution from high-margin 5G+AI multimodal digital solutions and acoustic technology products.

Management Commentary

Ms. Zhixin Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Datasea, commented, "The first quarter of fiscal 2026 marks a strategic transition for Datasea as we pivot from scale expansion to profitability optimization. Our revenue decreased due to our plan to deliberately restructure our revenue mix toward technology-driven, high value-added businesses, and implement a reduction in standardized low margin 5G AI multimodal top up services. As a result, our gross margin rose sharply to 8.46%, reflecting the success of this structural transformation and the growing contribution from our high-margin AI multimodal and acoustic technology solutions. For example, during the quarter, Shuhai Beijing provided customized 5G+AI multimodal digital services for Yuxiang Zhiyang (Tianjin) Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. and several other clients, focusing on Douyin live-streaming and smart home marketing scenarios, generating total revenue of approximately RMB 6.53 million (around USD0.92 million). Such high-margin, technology-driven solutions have proven the effectiveness of our strategic shift and further enhanced overall profitability."

"The phased decline in revenue is a purposeful and tactical choice that during our optimization process, signals a shift from pursuing scale to emphasizing value creation and sustainable profitability. Looking ahead, the Company will continue to strengthen cost controls and operational efficiency while focusing on technology-driven, high-quality growth. Datasea will advance its 'dual-engine strategy', leveraging both 5G+AI multimodal digitalization and acoustic high-tech innovations to enhance profitability and advance our market leadership."
