Insights

Cheetah Mobile's Q2 2024 results show a 12.3% year-over-year revenue growth to RMB187.4 million, driven by their AI and service robotics business. However, the company is still operating at a loss, with a non-GAAP operating loss of RMB62.5 million. The increased losses are attributed to investments in AI and robotics, which have led to higher costs and expenses.

The shift towards AI and robotics is evident, with this segment now contributing 39.3% of total revenues, up from 30.9% last year. This strategic pivot seems promising but comes at the cost of short-term profitability. The company's ability to reduce operating losses sequentially and improve operating margins in their legacy internet business is a positive sign, but investors should closely monitor the path to profitability in the AI segment.

Cheetah Mobile's focus on AI and service robotics, particularly their emphasis on far-field speech recognition, positions them well in the growing AI market. Their experience from PC and mobile eras could be valuable in developing competitive AI products. However, the AI and robotics market is highly competitive with well-funded players.

The company's investment in LLMs (Large Language Models) is noteworthy, as this technology is at the forefront of AI advancements. Their ability to integrate LLMs into their products could be a key differentiator. However, the lack of specific details on their AI capabilities and product roadmap makes it difficult to assess their competitive position. Investors should look for concrete examples of AI implementation and customer adoption in future reports.

Cheetah Mobile's pivot from a primarily internet-based business to AI and robotics reflects broader market trends. The 42.8% year-over-year growth in AI and robotics revenue is promising, but it's important to note that this segment still represents less than half of total revenue. The company's focus on both domestic and international markets for service robots could provide diversification and growth opportunities.

However, the transition period may be challenging. The company's increased investments in R&D, marketing and personnel for the AI business are pressuring profitability. The market will likely want to see evidence of scalability and improved margins in the AI segment. The company's strong cash position of RMB1,973.0 million provides a buffer during this transition, but efficient capital allocation will be critical for long-term success.

BEIJING, Sept. 13, 2024 /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 second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Management Commentary

Mr. Sheng Fu, Cheetah Mobile's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "In Q2, Cheetah Mobile achieved solid revenue growth of 12.3% year-over-year, with AI and others contributing around 40% of total revenue. Our service robotics business, both domestically and internationally, continues to drive growth. Customers choose us for our superior product experience, after-sales services, and strong AI capabilities, including far field speech recognition. With a team that brings extensive experience from the PC and mobile eras, we are investing in developing the best products to capture opportunities in the service robotics and LLMs markets. We remain focused on expanding our robotics use cases, advancing product innovation with LLMs, and growing our global presence. Rather than pursuing short-term gains, we are committed to achieving high-quality, long-term growth. We are confident in our ability to capture long-term opportunities ahead."

Mr. Thomas Ren, Chief Financial Officer of Cheetah Mobile, stated, "In this quarter, we were able to reduce our operating loss compared to the previous quarter by strategically focusing on AI and service robots. Our operating margin, excluding share-based compensation expense for our legacy internet business, increased by 6.9 percentage points year over year and 4.5 percentage points quarter over quarter. Although Cheetah Mobile is still incurring losses, we generated more than RMB218 million in cash from operating activities in the second quarter, showcasing strong capabilities in cash generation and management. Moving forward, we are committed to continuing to enhance our operational efficiency and cash generation capabilities."

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlight

Total revenues accelerated to a year-over-year growth of 12.3%, reaching RMB187.4 million (US$25.8 million) in the second quarter of 2024, driven by an increase in the delivery of the Company's service robots in both domestic and international markets.

  • Revenues from internet business remained relatively flat year over year at RMB113.7 million (US$15.7 million) in the second quarter of 2024. In the second quarter of 2024, revenues generated from the internet business accounted for 60.7% of total revenues, compared to 69.1% in the same period last year.
  • Revenues from AI and others increased by 42.8% year over year to RMB73.7 million (US$10.1 million) in the second quarter of 2024. The growth was primarily driven by an increase in the delivery of the Company's service robots, following the acquisition of a controlling stake in Beijing OrionStar. In the second quarter of 2024, revenues generated from AI and others accounted for 39.3% of total revenues, compared to 30.9% in the same period last year.

Operating loss was RMB77.5 million (US$10.7 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to RMB65.6 million in the same period of last year. Non-GAAP operating loss was RMB62.5 million (US$8.6 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to RMB48.3 million in the same period of last year.

The increase in operating losses on a year-over-year basis was due to the Company's investments in AI, which have helped it enhance the product experience of its service robots. As previously mentioned in the past earnings releases, Cheetah Mobile's year-over-year costs and expenses increased, particularly associated with headcount and hardware.

  • Cost of revenues increased by 15.2% year over year to RMB65.9 million (US$9.1 million) in the second quarter of 2024, primarily resulting from the rise in the hardware-related costs for the Company's service robots. Non-GAAP cost of revenues increased by 14.8% year over year to RMB65.5 million (US$9.0 million) in the second quarter of 2024.
  • Research and development expenses increased by 14.5% year over year to RMB54.3 million (US$7.5 million) in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to 1) amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of a controlling stake in Beijing OrionStar, 2) higher R&D personnel-related expenses following the acquisition of Beijing OrionStar. Non-GAAP research and development expenses increased by 3.3% year over year to RMB48.0 million (US$6.6 million) in the second quarter of 2024.
  • Selling and marketing expenses increased by 17.3% year over year to RMB73.4 million (US$10.1 million) in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to 1) increased marketing and promotion expenses related to our user acquisition for certain products of our internet business; and 2) increased personnel-related expenses as the Company increased its sales personnel following the acquisition of a controlling stake in Beijing OrionStar. Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses increased by 16.7% year over year to RMB72.8 million (US$10.0 million) in the second quarter of 2024.
  • General and administrative expenses increased by 8.0% year over year to RMB71.6 million (US$9.9 million) in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to increased personnel-related expenses as the Company increased the number of its G&A personnel following the acquisition of a controlling stake in Beijing OrionStar. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses increased by 26.9% year over year to RMB63.8 million (US$8.8 million) in the second quarter of 2024.

In terms of sequential performance, the Company was able to reduce its operating loss from RMB80.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 to RMB77.5 million in this quarter, and its non-GAAP operating loss from RMB66.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 to RMB62.5 million in this quarter. Notably, operating margin, excluding share-based compensation expense for the internet business, was 12.4% in the second quarter of 2024, an improvement from 7.9% in the first quarter of 2024 and 5.5% in the same period of last year.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of RMB1,973.0 million (US$271.5 million).

As of June 30, 2024, the Company has long-term investments of RMB866.9 million (US$119.3 million).

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 and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions;
  • Non-GAAP research and development expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions;

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 and amortization of intangible assets 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".
