Insights

Cheetah Mobile showed strong Q1 results with 36.1% YoY revenue growth and significantly improved operating margins despite continued AI investment.

Cheetah Mobile has delivered an impressive first quarter with RMB259.0 million (US$35.7 million) in revenue, representing 36.1% year-over-year and 9.2% quarter-over-quarter growth. This acceleration is particularly noteworthy as both business segments contributed meaningfully – the Internet business grew 46.0% year-over-year while the AI and Others segment increased 22.9% year-over-year and 29.8% quarter-over-quarter.

The margin improvements are equally compelling. Gross profit jumped 67.2% year-over-year to RMB189.5 million, reflecting enhanced operational efficiency. Most significantly, the company dramatically reduced its operating loss to RMB26.5 million (US$3.7 million) from RMB80.6 million in the same period last year – a 67.1% reduction. This improved profitability profile comes despite continued investment in AI and robotics research.

The Internet business segment deserves special attention, achieving a 15.5% operating margin compared to 7.9% a year ago. This nearly doubling of margin indicates successful optimization of their core business while funding future growth areas. The company maintains strong liquidity with RMB1,699.2 million (US$234.2 million) in cash and cash equivalents, providing ample runway for their AI investments.

The strategic focus on agentic AI – AI models that can take real-world actions beyond conversation – represents a forward-thinking approach aligned with emerging industry trends. While still investing heavily in these areas, the disciplined approach to simultaneously improving financial metrics demonstrates pragmatic management. The continued reduction in operating losses while maintaining R&D investment suggests Cheetah Mobile is executing a balanced strategy between current profitability and future positioning in high-growth AI markets.

BEIJING, June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheetah Mobile Inc. (NYSE: CMCM) ("Cheetah Mobile" or the "Company"), a China-based IT company, today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Management Commentary

Mr. Sheng Fu, Cheetah Mobile's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "We kicked off 2025 with strong momentum - total revenue grew 36.1% year-over-year in the first quarter, and margins improved significantly. Our Internet business continued to perform robustly, with revenue increasing 46.0% year-over-year. Meanwhile, revenue from our AI and Others segment grew by 22.9% year-over-year and accelerated to 29.8% quarter-over-quarter. We narrowed our operating losses this quarter while maintaining strong investment in AI and robotics. We remain encouraged by the momentum we're seeing and expect continued progress as we execute against our AI strategy. Looking ahead, we see agentic AI as a true game-changer. AI models are moving beyond conversation and into real-world action, and Cheetah Mobile's long track record of productizing cutting-edge technology positions us to capture this shift. By doubling down on R&D and infusing AI Agents into both our consumer applications and robotics portfolio, we are helping usher China's LLM industry from infrastructure build-out to application-driven innovation. Our focus remains clear: to keep generating steady revenue and profit growth from our legacy businesses, while strengthening our position in new AI ventures by creating practical, utility-focused AI tools and robots that understand people and help them accomplish more."

Mr. Thomas Ren, Chief Financial Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: "We made significant progress in narrowing our losses in Q1 2025, supported by disciplined execution, cost optimization, and steady topline growth. In particular, our Internet business posted a notable improvement in operating margin, reaching 15.5% in the quarter, up from 7.9% a year ago. We also continued to improve efficiency in our AI and Others segment by focusing on scalable use cases, leveraging open-source models and AI tools and streamlining product development. While we continue to invest in the significant opportunity that LLM technology represents, we remain focused on consistent margin expansion and loss reduction, while maintaining a strong balance sheet."

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements, including management quotes and business outlook, constitute forward-looking statements under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including but are not limited to the following: Cheetah Mobile's growth strategies; Cheetah Mobile's ability to retain and increase its user base and expand its product and service offerings; Cheetah Mobile's ability to monetize its platform; Cheetah Mobile's future business development, financial condition and results of operations; competition with companies in a number of industries including internet companies that provide online marketing services and internet value-added services; expected changes in Cheetah Mobile's revenues and certain cost or expense items; and general economic and business condition globally and in China.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including but not limited to:

  • Non-GAAP cost of revenues excludes share-based compensation expenses;
  • Non-GAAP gross profit excludes share-based compensation expenses;
  • Non-GAAP gross margin excludes share-based compensation expenses;
  • Total non-GAAP operating expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions;
  • Non-GAAP research and development expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions;
  • Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions;
  • Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses;
  • Non-GAAP operating profit/loss excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions;
  • Non-GAAP net income/loss attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions;
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings/losses per ADS excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions; and

The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results".
