      Larry Xiangdong Chen, the Company's founder, Chairman and CEO, commented, "2025 was a year of high-quality growth for Gaotu, with sharpened teaching quality, elevated operating efficiency and strengthened organizational capabilities enabling us to exceed our growth targets. For the full year 2025, revenue grew by 35.0% to RMB6.1 billion, exceeding our initial expectations at the beginning of 2025. Our operating net cash flow reached RMB416 million, a net increase of RMB158 million year over year. After excluding the impact of share repurchases, our cash position increased by RMB221 million year over year. For the fourth quarter, we maintained steady top-line expansion while realizing meaningful operating leverage, with revenue increasing by 21.4% year over year and bottom line improved by 38.0%, driven by continued efficiency gains. We remain firmly committed to enhancing long-term shareholder value. Under our aggregated share repurchase authorization, we have repurchased shares totaling about RMB670 million, representing 12.8% of our total outstanding shares, including RMB343 million in buybacks in 2025.

      As we enter 2026, we are prioritizing profitable growth, with the advancement of AI capabilities at the core of our operations — All with AI, always AI. Guided by a strong focus on business health, operational efficiency, and long-term viability, we remain committed to becoming an ed-tech company that accompanies learners across their full learning journey while creating sustainable value for shareholders and society."

      Shannon Shen, CFO of the Company, added, "Driven by both revenue scale expansion and operating efficiency gains, we have realized operating leverage for five consecutive quarters, resulting in continuous bottom line improvement. Throughout 2025, we also advanced our "AI + Education" integration strategy, significantly enhancing our educational products and end-to-end operational efficiency through the systematic optimization of our product portfolio and channel mix, underpinned by vertical AI as our foundation, learning solutions as our core value, and AI-powered organizational digitalization as our operational support. By prioritizing user experience and harnessing AI as a tool and medium to boost our organizational capacity and productivity, we are progressing from scale-oriented growth toward a more efficiency-led model, forging new engines for our profitable growth."

      About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      The Company uses gross billings, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss), each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

      The Company defines gross billings for a specific period as the total amount of cash received for the sale of course offerings in such period, net of the total amount of refunds in such period. The Company's management uses gross billings as a performance measurement because the Company generally bills its students for the entire course fee at the time of sale of its course offerings and recognizes revenue proportionally as the classes are delivered. For some courses, the Company continues to provide students with 12 months to 36 months access to the pre-recorded audio-video courses after the online live courses are delivered. The Company believes that gross billings provides valuable insight into the sales of its course packages and the performance of its business. As gross billings have material limitations as an analytical metrics 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.

      Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) exclude share-based compensation expenses. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical performance. A limitation of using non-GAAP measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the Company's business.

      The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release.

      The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

      Exchange Rate

      The Company's business is primarily conducted in China and a significant majority of revenues generated are denominated in Renminbi ("RMB"). This announcement contains currency conversions of RMB amounts into U.S. dollars ("USD") solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from RMB to USD are made at a rate of RMB6.9931 to USD1.0000, the effective noon buying rate for December 31, 2025 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board.
