Average total MAUs declined modestly to 24.98 million for the year as China’s newborn population fell, but the company ended 2025 with RMB1,151.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Reflecting confidence in its position, the board approved a special cash dividend of US$0.10 per ADS, totaling about US$5.1 million.

Special dividend per ADS US$0.10 per ADS Special cash dividend totaling approximately US$5.1 million
Average total MAUs financial
"Average total MAUs were 24.98 million, compared with 26.47 million in fiscal year 2024."
American Depositary Share financial
"Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary shares of the Company."
An American Depositary Share (ADS) is a U.S.-listed certificate that represents a specified number of shares in a foreign company, held by a custodian bank; it works like a receipt that allows U.S. investors to buy and trade foreign equity on American exchanges without dealing with another country’s markets. Investors care because ADSs make foreign stocks easier to access, improve liquidity and settlement in dollars, and can affect dividend payments, voting rights and regulatory oversight compared with buying the underlying foreign shares directly.
special cash dividend financial
"approved a special cash dividend of US$0.02 per ordinary share, or US$0.10 per ADS"
A special cash dividend is a one-time, extra cash payment a company gives to its shareholders in addition to its regular dividends, like a bonus check sent out when a business has more cash than usual. It matters to investors because it delivers immediate cash value, can signal that the company has strong short-term cash or limited opportunities to reinvest, and typically reduces the company’s cash reserves and may affect the stock price and tax treatment for recipients.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"iHuman considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted operating income, adjusted net income"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
share-based compensation expenses financial
"excluding share-based compensation expenses, respectively. Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per ADS"
Share-based compensation expenses are the accounting costs a company records when it pays employees, directors or contractors with company stock, stock options, or other equity instruments instead of cash. Investors care because these expenses reduce reported profits and can increase the number of outstanding shares, diluting ownership — like a business paying wages with gift cards that count as payroll cost and also add more gift cards in circulation.

Dr. Peng Dai, Director and Chief Executive Officer of iHuman, commented, “During the fourth quarter, we effectively executed our key strategic initiatives, maintaining operational resilience amid a complex environment. As shifting demographic trends reshape the childhood education landscape, we have proactively evolved our product portfolio to ensure long-term sustainability.

 

A cornerstone of this evolution is our strategic expansion into broader user segments. In the fourth quarter, we launched FreeTalk, an AI-native oral English application designed for a broad spectrum of learners seeking to improve their spoken English across general, academic, and professional contexts. By providing on-demand access to highly realistic AI-powered digital tutors, FreeTalk effectively lowers the barriers to mastering spoken English while creating a flexible, judgment-free environment that helps mitigate speaking anxiety. At the same time, the app allows users to progress through structured learning materials at their own pace and tailor learning content to their individual needs, significantly improving learning efficiency. Powered by advanced speech recognition and generative AI, the platform helps strengthen overall English communication skills by delivering immersive, guided dialogue with real-time adaptive feedback, helping learners refine their pronunciation, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary across a wide range of real-world scenarios. The launch of FreeTalk marks a significant milestone in our strategic expansion beyond childhood education, broadening our total addressable market, extending the user lifecycle, and diversifying our long-term growth opportunities.

 

 

1 “Average total MAUs” refers to the monthly average of the sum of the MAUs of each of the Company’s apps during a specific period, which is counted based on the number of unique mobile devices through which such app is accessed at least once in a given month, and duplicate access to different apps is not eliminated from the total MAUs calculation.

Alongside these initiatives, we continued to drive product innovation across our core offerings. Within iHuman Chinese, we introduced a new interactive “Animal Park” module designed around an innovative learning cycle that combines knowledge discovery with built-in review. Children can unlock different animals as they master new Chinese characters, while reinforcement is seamlessly embedded into frequent, engaging interactions such as feeding and cleaning. By integrating literacy learning with edutainment-driven progression, the module adds elements of joy and motivation that enhance engagement and reinforce learning outcomes. We also expanded our smart device portfolio with iHuman AI Bilingual Early Learning Tablet. This device offers families a secure, one-stop learning solution that integrates our comprehensive content ecosystem of stories, animations, songs, and interactive activities. In addition, the tablet features certified eye-protection capabilities and a child-friendly form factor, promoting healthy usage habits while fostering a genuine love of learning.

 

Our Kunpeng Animation Studio continued to make steady progress in advancing our original animation content and IP. Building on the success of the first Cosmicrew movie, we recently launched the franchise’s second installment Ice Planet, further strengthening its presence among young audiences. To complement the movie’s theatrical screenings, we organized a series of offline fan engagement activities, creating opportunities for children to interact directly with the characters. These in-person experiences extended engagement beyond the screen, deepening audience connection and brand affinity.

 

Looking into 2026, we will continue to execute with focus and discipline, advancing our product innovation, content strength, and technology to further enhance user experience and learning effectiveness. While navigating an evolving environment, we remain committed to prudent operations and long-term sustainability, with the aim of creating enduring value for users and shareholders.”

 

Ms. Vivien Weiwei Wang, Director and Chief Financial Officer of iHuman, added, “During the quarter, we made solid progress in our international expansion with our global offerings gaining broader market recognition. Aha World, our open-ended, creativity-driven digital world designed to encourage exploration and imagination, delivered particularly strong performance. From Thanksgiving through the New Year period, daily active users (DAUs) on the U.S. Apple App Store increased by approximately 30%, highlighting the product’s growing appeal in the largest overseas market and its long-term growth potential. In addition, Reading Stars, the innovative reading product we developed in collaboration with Cricket Media, has quickly gained industry recognition for its high-quality content and innovative design. The product was recently honored with both the U.S. National Parenting Product Awards (NAPPA) and the Mom’s Choice Awards (MCA), demonstrating the strong endorsement of our products by the U.S. market.

 

Reflecting our confidence in the business and commitment to shareholder returns, our board of directors has approved a special cash dividend of US$0.02 per ordinary share, or US$0.10 per American Depositary Share (ADS), totaling approximately US$5.1 million. This marks the third consecutive year in which we have declared a special cash dividend, reflecting the structural sustainability of our financial performance.

 

Looking ahead, we are encouraged by our resilient business performance and believe our differentiated, content-driven portfolio positions us well to continue building our global presence and creating long-term value.”

Exchange Rate Information

 

The U.S. dollar (US$) amounts disclosed in this press release, except for those transaction amounts that were actually settled in U.S. dollars, are presented solely for the convenience of the reader. The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into US$ in this press release is based on the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of December 31, 2025, which was RMB6.9931 to US$1.00. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on the RMB amounts.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

iHuman considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income 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”). iHuman defines adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per ADS as operating income, net income and diluted net income per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses, respectively. Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per ADS enable iHuman’s management to assess its operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges. iHuman 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. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures iHuman uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
