Insights

The latest financial results from Youdao indicate a 19.7% increase in total net revenues year-over-year to RMB1.4 billion (US$192.8 million). This rise is noteworthy, especially given the significant 125.9% growth in net revenues from online marketing services. However, this positive performance is coupled with declines in other revenue segments. The net revenues from learning services decreased by 2.0% and smart devices by 14.8%.

Despite these mixed results, Youdao achieved its first-ever profitable first quarter with net income attributable to shareholders amounting to RMB12.4 million (US$1.7 million), a stark contrast to the net loss of RMB204.4 million in the same period last year. This turnaround is impressive and shows strong financial management and strategic focus on profitable segments.

The gross margin dropped slightly from 51.7% to 49.0%, reflecting perhaps the increased cost structure or market competition impacting margins. The reduction in operating expenses, particularly in sales and marketing and R&D, contributes positively to the bottom line but may affect future growth if under-invested over time.

The decline in short-term cash and equivalents suggests a possible liquidity concern, mitigated by financial support from the parent company, NetEase Group. This could be a red flag for investors concerned about the company's ability to sustain operations independently.

Youdao's financial results indicate a strategic pivot towards AI-driven subscription services and online marketing services, which have shown robust growth. The company's investment in AI technology, particularly in performance-based advertisements, has paid off, driving a 140% increase in AI-driven subscription service sales. This focus on leveraging AI and digital transformation aligns well with current market trends and investor expectations.

However, the 14.8% decline in smart device revenues reflects a broader industry trend where hardware sales are increasingly challenged by software and services growth. Market dynamics in China, competitive pressures and potential regulatory changes should be closely monitored as these could impact future revenue streams and profitability.

The company's gross margin improvement in online marketing services is a positive sign, indicating higher efficiency and better pricing power in this segment. But the drop in smart device margins due to earlier generation promotions suggests a need to innovate and update product lines to maintain profitability.

The application of Youdao's AI capabilities, as demonstrated in the Real-Time API and the company's proprietary large language model, Ziyue, signifies a substantial technological advantage over competitors. This technology underpins the impressive growth in online marketing services and AI-driven subscriptions, offering adaptive learning and tailored content, which enhances user engagement and revenue potential.

However, the integration and scalability of these technologies remain crucial. Any technical challenges or delays in product rollout could affect growth trajectories. Additionally, the educational technology sector is highly competitive and continuous innovation is necessary to maintain a leading position.

The focus on AI-driven solutions is timely and resonates with global trends towards personalized learning experiences. Given the rapid advancements in AI, maintaining a technological edge will be key to sustaining long-term growth and competitiveness.

Net revenues from learning services were RMB718.0 million (US$99.4 million) for the first quarter of 2024, representing a 2.0% decrease from RMB732.4 million for the same period of 2023.

Net revenues from smart devices were RMB181.2 million (US$25.1 million) for the first quarter of 2024, representing a 14.8% decrease from RMB212.7 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased demands for learning products in the first quarter of 2024.

Net revenues from online marketing services were RMB492.7 million (US$68.2 million) for the first quarter of 2024, representing a 125.9% increase from RMB218.1 million for the same period of 2023. The year-over-year increase in revenues from online marketing services was primarily due to the increase in the sales of performance-based advertisements through third parties' internet properties, which was driven by our continued investments in cutting-edge AI technology.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was RMB681.5 million (US$94.4 million), representing a 13.2% increase from RMB601.9 million for the same period of 2023. Gross margin was 49.0% for the first quarter of 2024, compared with 51.7% for the same period of 2023.

Gross margin for learning services was 63.1% for the first quarter of 2024, compared with 62.0% for the same period of 2023.

Gross margin for smart devices decreased to 32.6% for the first quarter of 2024 from 39.6% for the same period of 2023. The decrease was due to the promotion on earlier generations of smart devices, which had lower gross margin.

Gross margin for online marketing services was 34.3% for the first quarter of 2024, compared with 29.1% for the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to improved gross margin profile of performance-based advertisements through third parties' internet properties compared with the same period of last year.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were RMB651.6 million (US$90.2 million), compared with RMB797.6 million for the same period of last year.

Sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were RMB455.4 million (US$63.1 million), representing a decrease of 19.4% from RMB565.2 million for the same period of 2023.

Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were RMB146.7 million (US$20.3 million), representing a decrease of 19.7% from RMB182.8 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased headcount for research and development employees, leading to payroll savings in the first quarter of 2024.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were RMB49.4 million (US$6.8 million), nearly unchanged from RMB49.6 million for the same period of 2023.

Income/(Loss) from Operations

As a result of the foregoing, income from operations for the first quarter of 2024 was RMB29.9 million (US$4.1 million), compared with loss from operations of RMB195.8 million for the same period in 2023. The margin of income from operations was 2.1%, compared with margin of loss from operations of 16.8% for the same period of last year.

Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to Youdao's Ordinary Shareholders

Net income attributable to Youdao's ordinary shareholders for the first quarter of 2024 was RMB12.4 million (US$1.7 million), compared with net loss attributable to Youdao's ordinary shareholders of RMB204.4 million for the same period of last year. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Youdao's ordinary shareholders for the first quarter of 2024 was RMB20.3 million (US$2.8 million), compared with non-GAAP net loss attributable to Youdao's ordinary shareholders of RMB193.9 million for the same period of last year.

Basic and diluted net income per American depositary share ("ADS") attributable to ordinary shareholders for the first quarter of 2024 were RMB0.11 (US$0.02) and RMB0.10 (US$0.01), compared with basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB1.67 for the same period of 2023. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB0.17 (US$0.02), compared with non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB1.59 for the same period of 2023.

For the first quarter of 2024, net cash used in operating activities was RMB391.0 million (US$54.1 million), capital expenditures totaled RMB2.5 million (US$0.4 million). Youdao's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to implement an effective business plan amid a changing regulatory environment, generate operating cash flows, and secure external financing for future development. To support Youdao's future business, NetEase Group has agreed to provide financial support for ongoing operations. As of March 31, 2024, Youdao has received various financial support from the NetEase Group, including, among others, RMB878.0 million short-term loans, and US$123.7 million long-term loans with maturity dated March 31, 2027 drawn down under the US$300.0 million revolving loan facility.

Non-GAAP Measures

Youdao considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income/(loss) per ADS, as supplemental metrics in reviewing and assessing its operating performance and formulating its business plan. The presentation of 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

Youdao defines non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders as net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses and impairment of long-term investments. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders enables Youdao's management to assess its operating results without considering the impact of these items, which are non-cash charges in nature. Youdao believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company's current operating performance and prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, which possibly do not reflect all items of expense that affect our operations. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures Youdao uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures uses by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this release.

The accompanying table has more details on the reconciliation between our GAAP financial measures that are mostly directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures. Youdao encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
