Internationally, we extended our leadership in key Asia Pacific and European markets through targeted investments in retail networks and tailored local product platforms. In Mainland China, enhanced customs enforcement has helped restore order to the market and competitive environment for compliant players, fueling a measured recovery of our business. We are proud of the successful rollout of our proprietary modern-oral product line in the United Kingdom, reflecting years of R&D investments to unlock development opportunities among new user segments. As we cultivate a diversified, global brand synonymous with quality, we remain confident in shaping the future of the smokeless industry and delivering lasting value to our stakeholders.”

Mr. Chao Lu, Chief Financial Officer of RLX Technology, commented, “Third-quarter net revenues soared 49.3% year-over-year to RMB1.13 billion, while non-GAAP operating income more than doubled to RMB187.8 million. These results demonstrate the strength of our diversified growth model propelled by organic share gains in existing international markets, high-return capital deployment in Europe, and a steady rebound in Mainland China. Our balance sheet remains robust, enabling consistent capital returns. To date, including the cash dividend announced today, we have returned over US$500 million to shareholders through repurchases and dividends, further reinforcing our commitment to long-term value creation and sustainable profitability.”

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net revenues were RMB1,129.3 million (US$158.6 million) in the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB756.3 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by our equity investment in European markets, organic growth of our international business, and the gradual recovery of our Mainland China business. Net revenues from international business represented 71.6% of our net revenues for the period.

Gross profit was RMB352.6 million (US$49.5 million) in the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB206.0 million in the same period of 2024.

Gross margin was 31.2% in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 27.2% in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to our equity investment in European markets, a favorable change in revenue mix by geography, and gross margin improvement in major international markets.

Operating expenses were RMB259.3 million (US$36.4 million) in the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB216.6 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and welfare expenses, shipping expenses, slightly offset by an overall decrease in share-based compensation expenses.

Selling expenses were RMB132.3 million (US$18.6 million) in the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB69.0 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to an increase in salaries and welfare expenses, share-based compensation expenses, and shipping expenses.

General and administrative expenses were RMB85.7 million (US$12.0 million) in the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB123.2 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expenses, slightly offset by an increase in salaries and welfare expenses.

Research and development expenses were RMB41.3 million (US$5.8 million) in the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB24.4 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation expenses, and salaries and welfare expenses.

U.S. GAAP income from operations was RMB93.3 million (US$13.1 million) in the third quarter of 2025, compared with U.S. GAAP loss from operations of RMB10.7 million in the same period of 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Non-GAAP net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization and depreciation of assets arising from fair value step-up in business acquisitions, and tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. Non-GAAP income from operations represents net income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization and depreciation of assets arising from fair value step-up in business acquisitions. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS is computed using non-GAAP net income attributable to RLX Technology Inc. and the same number of ADSs used in U.S. GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS calculation.

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that they help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in net income. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance, as they could provide useful information about its operating results, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management in its financial and operational decision making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. They should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income, basic and diluted net income per ADS or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review its historical non-GAAP financial measures against the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

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

Note (a): The Company completed the acquisition of the acquired company on May 31, 2025, which was accounted for as a business combination. Beginning in Q2 2025, the Company included the amortization and depreciation of assets arising from fair value step-up in business acquisitions, as well as the associated tax impact, in the reconciliation items for GAAP and Non-GAAP results. The Company has retrospectively adjusted the above unaudited reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP results for the prior quarter. The Company believes these changes provide management and investors with more useful information to evaluate the operations of its business.

Note (b): The amortization and depreciation expense and related tax effect attributable to noncontrolling interests have been excluded from the presentation in the reconciliation items for GAAP and Non-GAAP results.
