Insights

Cheetah Mobile's Q4 2024 results demonstrate notable acceleration in revenue growth, achieving a 41.7% year-over-year and 23.4% quarter-over-quarter increase to RMB237.1 million (US$32.5 million). Gross profit showed even stronger momentum, jumping 74.4% year-over-year to RMB172.8 million (US$23.7 million).

What's particularly significant is the Q4 improvement in non-GAAP operating loss, which decreased to RMB42.5 million (US$5.8 million) from RMB49.1 million in Q4 2023 - marking the first year-over-year reduction since Q4 2022. The company also generated robust operating cash flow of RMB283.0 million (US$38.8 million) in Q4, maintaining a strong liquidity position with RMB1,833.0 million (US$251.1 million) in cash and cash equivalents.

However, these improvements are counterbalanced by widening full-year losses. The 2024 operating loss expanded to RMB437.3 million (US$59.9 million) from RMB209.8 million in 2023, while net loss attributable to shareholders increased slightly to RMB617.6 million (US$84.6 million).

The financial picture suggests CMCM is investing heavily in AI and robotics initiatives, including the upcoming AgentOS voice interaction system, while using cash flow from its legacy Internet business to fund these growth opportunities. The Q4 trajectory shows promising signs of potential path to profitability, but substantial challenges remain in scaling new ventures while managing increased operating costs.

BEIJING, March 26, 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 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Management Commentary

Mr. Sheng Fu, Cheetah Mobile's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "In Q4, our total revenue accelerated robustly, demonstrating our commitment to high-quality growth and ongoing business turnaround. With the momentum of LLMs, we entered 2025 with tremendous opportunities, including the upcoming launch of AgentOS, our next-generation voice interaction system for service robots, which further strengthens our leadership in voice-enabled robotics. By focusing on scalable robotics solutions and leveraging our strong product technology, we are well-positioned to become a top 3 service robot provider globally within three years. Meanwhile, our legacy Internet business continues to drive strong revenue growth and margin expansion on a year-over-year basis, providing a solid foundation for our AI and robotics investments." 

Mr. Thomas Ren, Chief Financial Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: "In Q4, our revenue once again accelerated year-over-year, and we reduced our non-GAAP operating losses quarter-over-quarter. Furthermore, Q4 was the first quarter in which we reduced our non-GAAP operating losses on a year-over-year basis since 4Q 2022. These improvements reflect our continued business progress since Q1 2024. Additionally, we delivered strong cash flow this quarter. Looking ahead, we remain focused on driving revenue growth while working towards breakeven and profitability. At the same time, we will continue to manage our net cash position with discipline."

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.

Cheetah Mobile does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable law.

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
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents net loss attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders excluding share-based compensation, interest income, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, other income/expenses, net and income tax expenses/benefits.

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".
