      Conference Call to Be Held at 7:30 A.M. U.S. Eastern Time on May 16, 2025

      GUANGZHOU, China, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yatsen Holding Limited ("Yatsen" or the "Company") (NYSE: YSG), a leading China-based beauty group, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 and provided updates on share repurchase program.

      First Quarter 2025 Highlights

      • Total net revenues for the first quarter of 2025 increased by 7.8% to RMB833.5 million (US$114.9 million) from RMB773.4 million for the prior year period.
      • Total net revenues from Skincare Brands[1] for the first quarter of 2025 increased by 47.7% to RMB362.4 million (US$49.9 million) from RMB245.3 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, total net revenues from Skincare Brands for the first quarter of 2025 were 43.5%, as compared with 31.7% for the prior year period. 
      • Gross margin for the first quarter of 2025 increased to 79.1% from 77.7% for the prior year period. 
      • Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 narrowed by 95.5% to RMB5.6 million (US$0.8 million) from RMB124.9 million for the prior year period. Non-GAAP net income[2] for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB7.1 million (US1.0 million), as compared with non-GAAP net loss of RMB83.8 million for the prior year period.

      Mr. Jinfeng Huang, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yatsen, stated, "We began 2025 with results in line with our guidance. Despite ongoing softness in the beauty market, we delivered a 7.8% year-over-year increase in total net revenues. Notably, net revenues from our skincare brands grew by 47.7% year over year, with the combined net revenues of our three major skincare brands, Galénic, DR.WU and Eve Lom, growing by 58.0%. This solid performance reflects our continued focus on new product development, R&D and brand building. We remain confident in our ability to execute our strategic transformation plan aimed at sustainable growth, and we look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead for the remainder of the year." 

      Mr. Donghao Yang, Director and Chief Financial Officer of Yatsen, commented, "We are pleased to report meaningful improvements in both net revenues and loss position for the first quarter of 2025. Total net revenues grew by 7.8% year over year, and gross margin increased to 79.1%, up from 77.7% for the prior year period. While we recorded a net loss of RMB5.6 million, significantly narrowed from RMB124.9 million a year ago, we achieved non-GAAP net income of RMB7.1 million, as compared with non-GAAP net loss of RMB83.8 million for the same period last year. With cash and short-term investments of RMB1.28 billion, we have sufficient resources to advance our strategic plan going forward."

      First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

      Net Revenues

      Total net revenues for the first quarter of 2025 increased by 7.8% to RMB833.5 million (US$114.9 million) from RMB773.4 million for the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to a 47.7% year-over-year increase in net revenues from Skincare Brands, partially offset by a 9.9% year-over-year decrease in net revenues from Color Cosmetics Brands.[3]

      Gross Profit and Gross Margin

      Gross profit for the first quarter of 2025 increased by 9.7% to RMB659.1 million (US$90.8 million) from RMB600.9 million for the prior year period. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2025 increased to 79.1% from 77.7% for the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in sales of higher-gross-margin products.

      Operating Expenses 

      Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 decreased by 8.6% to RMB693.2 million (US$95.5 million) from RMB758.7 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were 83.2%, as compared with 98.1% for the prior year period.

      • Fulfillment Expenses. Fulfillment expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were RMB51.8 million (US$7.1 million), as compared with RMB51.4 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, fulfillment expenses for the first quarter of 2025 decreased to 6.2% from 6.7% for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to further improvements in logistics efficiency.
      • Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were RMB553.8 million (US$76.3 million), as compared with RMB539.2 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, selling and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2025 decreased to 66.4% from 69.7% for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the Company's more strategic marketing spending, combined with the selective closure of offline stores.
      • General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were RMB64.9 million (US$8.9 million), as compared with RMB140.1 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2025 decreased to 7.8% from 18.1% for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower share-based compensation expenses as a result of using the graded-vesting method over the vesting term of the Company's awards and lower payroll expenses resulting from a reduction in general and administrative headcount.
      • Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were RMB22.6 million (US$3.1 million), as compared with RMB27.9 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2025 decreased to 2.7% from 3.6% for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower lease expenses resulting from more favorable terms under a lease agreement renegotiated during the first quarter of 2025 and lower share-based compensation expenses.

      Loss from Operations

      Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB34.1 million (US$4.7 million), as compared with RMB157.7 million for the prior year period. Operating loss margin was 4.1%, as compared with 20.4% for the prior year period.

      Non-GAAP loss from operations[4] for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB14.9 million (US$2.0 million), as compared with non-GAAP loss from operations of RMB107.0 million for the prior year period. Non-GAAP operating loss margin[5] was 1.8%, as compared with non-GAAP operating loss margin of 13.8% for the prior year period.

      Net Loss / Income

      Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB5.6 million (US$0.8 million), as compared with RMB124.9 million for the prior year period. Net loss margin was 0.7%, as compared with 16.1% for the prior year period. Net loss attributable to Yatsen's ordinary shareholders per diluted ADS[6] for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB0.06 (US$0.01), as compared with RMB1.16 for the prior year period.

      Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB7.1 million (US$1.0 million), as compared with non-GAAP net loss of RMB83.8 million for the prior year period. Non-GAAP net income margin was 0.9%, as compared with non-GAAP net loss margin of 10.8% for the prior year period. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Yatsen's ordinary shareholders per diluted ADS[7] for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB0.07 (US$0.01), as compared with non-GAAP net loss attributable to Yatsen's ordinary shareholders per diluted ADS of RMB0.78 for the prior year period.

      Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

      As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and short-term investments of RMB1.28 billion (US$176.4 million), as compared with RMB1.36 billion as of December 31, 2024.

      Net cash generated from operating activities for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB23.8 million (US$3.3 million), as compared with net cash used in operating activities of RMB121.8 million for the prior year period.

      Business Outlook

      For the second quarter of 2025, the Company expects its total net revenues to be between RMB810.4 million and RMB889.9 million, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 2% to 12%. These forecasts reflect the Company's current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change.

      Updates on Share Repurchase Program

      As previously announced in November 2021, August 2022 and November 2023, the Company established and subsequently modified a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$200.0 million worth of its ordinary shares (including in the form of ADSs) through November 19, 2025 (the "Existing Share Repurchase Program"). From the launch of the Existing Share Repurchase Program on November 17, 2021 through May 15, 2025, the Company in aggregate purchased approximately 39.8 million ADSs for a total consideration of approximately US$199.9 million (inclusive of broker commissions) under the Existing Share Repurchase Program.

      On May 16, 2025, the Company's board of directors approved a new share repurchase program (the "2025 Share Repurchase Program"), under which the Company may repurchase up to US$30.0 million worth of its ordinary shares (including in the form of ADSs) over the following 24 months commencing on May 16, 2025. The share repurchases may be effected from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and will be implemented in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations. The Company's board of directors will review the 2025 Share Repurchase Program periodically, and may authorize adjustments to its terms and size. The Company expects to fund the repurchases with its existing cash balance.

      Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      The Company uses non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating income (loss) margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders per diluted ADS, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in reviewing and assessing 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 presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business, provide further information about its results of operations, and enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects. The Company defines non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as income (loss) from operations excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions and (iii) impairment of goodwill. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) margin is non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as a percentage of total net revenues. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions, (iii) revaluation of investments on the share of equity method investments, (iv) impairment of goodwill and (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. Non-GAAP net income (loss) margin is non-GAAP net income (loss) as a percentage of total net revenues. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders as net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions, (iii) revaluation of investments on the share of equity method investments, (iv) impairment of goodwill, (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments and (vi) accretion to redeemable non-controlling interests. Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders per diluted ADS is computed using non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of diluted ADS outstanding for computing diluted earnings per ADS.

      However, the non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools as the non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and 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 performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Reconciliations of Yatsen's non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.
