coordination.
Under

services, and selected cultural tourism-related labor programs. This partnership aims to drive the bilateral mobility of professional

Management Remarks
Mr.
Yunlei Wang, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Youlife, commented on Youlife’s recent performance, “In
fiscal 2025, we built a solid foundation and strategically positioned our business to help us achieve our expansion and growth strategy
of our products and services throughout international markets. We advanced our discussions with future acquisition targets and continued
our evaluation of how these target companies will benefit our business goals and initiatives. Additionally, we advanced our transition
from a focus on organic growth to a dual-engine strategy that balances internal expansion with strategic acquisitions. In December, we
announced our intention to acquire four regional human resources service companies, which we expect to broaden our geographic reach, enhance
network density, and create opportunities for future operational synergies. Furthermore, during the latter half of fiscal year 2025, we
made key changes to our management team and board of directors to put a team in place that best aligns with Youlife’s strategy and
plans for future success.”
“As we look to fiscal 2026, we have continued
to build on our momentum, with our January announcement of a joint venture agreement with Sealand,
a leading cruise crew recruitment and dispatch company in China. The collaboration with Sealand represents a significant step forward
in Youlife’s strategy to deepen its presence in specialized service sectors and to expand its global talent supply chain. We expect that
this partnership will create a comprehensive, closed-loop model for talent development in the cruise and cultural tourism industries,
spanning training, certification, international placement, and long-term service support.
Later in the month, we entered into a letter of intention to acquire Anlian HR, a well-established Online-Merge-Offline blue-collar recruitment
platform provider in China. Further, we expressed interest to jointly develop, deploy, and commercialize
a robotics-enabled workforce-as-a-service platform in strategic collaboration with VCI Global Limited. The initiative will position us
at the forefront of industrial automation and workforce transformation across ASEAN and emerging markets. The platform will integrate
robotics, artificial intelligence and human workforce management to deliver a guaranteed productivity capacity to enterprises and industrial
clients across ASEAN and selected international markets. I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for our business. We have
an exciting pipeline of new acquisition targets that will give us the opportunity to expand our product and services to new overseas markets
and allow us to diversify our revenue base and maximize market share penetration. We continue to focus on executing on our acquisitions
and scaling the business efficiently to drive value for our shareholders,” Mr. Wang concluded.
Mr.
Tianshi Yang, Chief Strategy Officer of Youlife, added, “We are pleased with our financial performance in fiscal year 2025.
Revenues grew by 16.9% year-over-year and reported a net profit of RMB42.7 million or US$6.1 million compared to a net loss in the prior
year period, and cash and cash equivalent increased by about 14.0% compared to last year. Looking ahead, we will be focused on executing
our acquisition and integration strategy while emphasizing capital discipline and alignment, to
allow Youlife to pursue expansion while preserving financial flexibility. In fiscal year 2026, we have found several acquisition targets
that will be instrumental to maximizing revenue growth, margins, and profitability. By structuring the coming deals through an equity-based
acquisition model with performance alignment, it will provide us the opportunity to aim to balance growth objectives with prudent financial
management, while keeping our focus on long-term value creation.”
Financial
Results for Fiscal Year 2025
Total revenues increased by 16.9% from
RMB1,585.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to RMB1,854.3 million (US$265.2 million) for the year ended December 31, 2025,
due to increases in revenues generated from employee management services.
| ● | Vocational educational services. Revenues generated from vocational
education services decreased by 9.8% from RMB50.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to RMB45.1 million (US$6.5 million) for
the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to termination of some education services which had long-term payback periods. |
| | | |
| ● | Employee management services. Revenues generated from employee management
services increased by 24.4% from RMB1,382.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB1,719.6 million (US$245.9 million) for
the year ended December 31, 2025. This growth was driven by an expanding corporate client base and rising demand for blue-collar labor.
We captured this through optimized business controls and our integrated lifecycle value chain model. Furthermore, we successfully shifted
our focus toward acquiring high-value clients in new industries and economies with significant outsourcing needs. |
| ● | HR recruitment services. Revenues
generated from HR recruitment services decreased by 27% from RMB24.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB17.7 million (US$2.5
million) for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a lower average service fee, as large-scale corporate
clients opted for multi-settlement structures for high-fluidity roles. Additionally, a portion of our HR recruitment services was divested
following the discontinuation of certain operations. |
| | | |
| ● | Marketing
services and solutions. Revenues generated from marketing
services decreased by 44.2% from RMB128.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to RMB71.9 million (US$10.3 million) for the
year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due the determination of selling goods through the online platform. |
Cost of revenues increased by 22.5%
from RMB1,356.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to RMB1,662.2 million (US$237.7 million) for the year ended December 31,
2025, in line with the growth of the business scale.
Gross
Margin
Gross
margin decreased from 14.5% for the year ended December 31, 2024, to 10.4% for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to the
larger proportion of employee management service.
Total operating expenses decreased
from RMB188.59 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to RMB185.3 million (US$26.50 million) for the year ended December 31, 2025,
representing a decrease of 1.7%.
| ● | Selling and marketing expenses increased by 53.8% from RMB51.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 2024, to RMB79.7 million (US$11.4 million) for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily because we
developed a number of strategic clients. |
| | | |
| ● | Administrative expenses decreased by 30.0% from RMB126.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 2024, to RMB88.7 million (US$12.7 million) for the year ended December 31, 2025. This was primarily driven
by management’s decision to streamline specific departments and reduce rental overhead. |
| | | |
| ● | Research and development expenses increased by 68.4% from RMB10.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to RMB16.9 million (US$2.4 million) for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily because
we boosted R&D investment in innovative fields, such as industrial robotics. |
Operating
income was RMB6.8 million (US$0.9 million) for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with profits from operation of RMB40.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to business development and increased efficiency.
Net profit was RMB42.7 million (US$6.1
million) for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net loss of RMB52.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Balance sheet
Cash
and cash equivalents were RMB144.2 million (US$20.6 million) as of December 31, 2025.
