Jianpu Technology Inc. Reports First Half Year 2025 Unaudited Financial Results

 

Beijing, September 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jianpu Technology Inc. (“Jianpu,” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: AIJTY), a leading open financial technology platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first half year ended June 30, 2025.

 

First Half Year 2025 Financial Results

 

Total revenues increased by 29.9% to RMB557.6 million (US$77.8 million) in the first half of 2025 from RMB429.2 million in the same period of 2024.

 

Revenues from recommendation services increased by 52.7% to RMB442.4 million (US$61.8 million) in the first half of 2025 from RMB289.7 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increase in revenues from recommendation services for loans amid higher application volumes, partially offset by the decrease in revenues from recommendation services for credit cards following the board-approved wind-down of the business in April 2025.

 

Revenues from digital intelligence as a service1 increased by 38.3% to RMB51.6 million (US$7.2 million) in the first half of 2025 from RMB37.3 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to an expanded customer base.

 

Revenues from marketing and other services decreased by 37.7% to RMB63.7 million (US$8.9 million) in the first half of 2025 from RMB102.2 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the deconsolidation of Anguo in the second half of 2024, and the board-approved wind-down of certain non-core business activities, which was initiated in April 2025.

 

Cost of promotion and acquisition increased by 37.0% to RMB338.5 million (US$47.2 million) in the first half of 2025 from RMB247.0 million in the same period of 2024. This increase was largely driven by the increased revenues from our loan recommendation services.

 

Cost of operation increased by 41.3% to RMB39.7 million (US$5.5 million) in the first half of 2025 from RMB28.1 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in data acquisition costs in line with the increase in revenue from digital intelligence as a service1.

 

Sales and marketing expenses was RMB64.2 million (US$9.0 million) in the first half of 2025, remaining relatively stable compared to that of RMB64.4 million in the same period of 2024.

 

Research and development expenses was RMB36.4 million (US$5.1 million) in the first half of 2025, remaining relatively stable compared to that of RMB37.0 million in the same period of 2024.

 

 

 

1 Starting from the first half of 2024, the Company updated the description of its revenue stream “big data and system-based risk management services” to “digital intelligence as a service”, to provide more relevant and clear information.

 

 

 

 

General and administrative expenses increased by 17.4% to RMB51.9 million (US$7.2 million) in the first half of 2025 from RMB44.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increases in payroll expenses, professional fees and allowance for credit losses.

 

Income from operations increased by 216.5% to RMB26.9 million (US$3.8 million) in the first half of 2025 from RMB8.5 million in the same period of 2024. Operating income margin was 4.8% in the first half of 2025, compared with 2.0% in the same period of 2024. The increase was attributable to the Company’s continuous focus on businesses optimization.

 

Fair value changes of crypto assets2 was an unrealized loss of RMB12.9 million (US$1.8 million) in the first half of 2025, reflecting a decrease in fair value changes of crypto assets since January 1, 2025

 

Others, net2 was a net income of RMB0.7 million (US$0.1 million) in the first half of 2025 compared with a net income of RMB14.7 million in the same period of 2024. The Company recognized a realized gain of RMB7.8 million from the investment in Conflux Global and other crypto assets2, as well as an investment gain of RMB5.9 million resulting from the termination of a non-controlling investment3 in the first half of 2024.

 

Net income was RMB19.1 million (US$2.7 million) in the first half of 2025 compared with RMB28.9 million in the same period of 2024. Net income margin was 3.4% in the first half of 2025, compared with 6.7% in the same period of 2024.

 

Non-GAAP adjusted net income4 was RMB29.3 million (US$4.1 million) in the first half of 2025, compared with RMB24.3 million in the same period of 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted net income margin4 was 5.3% in the first half of 2025 compared with 5.7% in the same period of 2024.

 

 

 

2 As a result of the adoption of ASU 2023-08 effective January 1, 2025, crypto assets are recorded at fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized as part of net income. Accordingly, the changes in fair value recognized in the first half of 2025 are not comparable to the same period of 2024.

 

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-08, crypto assets were classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets and were measured at cost less impairment. Subsequent increases in crypto asset prices are not allowed to be recorded unless the crypto asset is sold, at which point the gain is recognized in net income each reporting period. Accordingly, unrealized losses recognized on crypto asset transactions for the first half of 2025 are not comparable to the same period of 2024.

 

3 In January 2024, the Company, together with other shareholders of an investee company, entered into an investment termination agreement with the investee company, according to which the company’s investment into the investee company was terminated and the investee company would pay the Company US$0.8 million as compensation for such termination. The compensation was fully paid to the Company in January 2024. The investment had been fully impaired by the Company in the year 2022, and therefore, the termination led to an investment gain of US$0.8 million in January 2024.

 

4 Non-GAAP adjusted net income represents net income before share-based compensation expenses, fair value changes of crypto assets and gain from disposal or fair value change of equity investments. See “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this document for more details about Non-GAAP adjusted net income. Non-GAAP adjusted net income margin equals Non-GAAP adjusted net income divided by total revenues.

 

 

 

 

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA5 was an income of RMB25.8 million (US$3.6 million), compared with RMB20.6 million in the same period of 2024.

 

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and restricted cash and time deposits of RMB651.7 million (US$91.0 million) and working capital of approximately RMB451.8 million (US$63.1 million). Compared to those as of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and restricted cash and time deposits decreased by RMB55.9 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income/(loss), each a Non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

 

The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income/(loss) help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the expenses and gains that the Company include in income/(loss) from operations and net income/(loss). The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income/(loss) provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

 

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income/(loss) should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net income/(loss) or any other measure of performance or as indicators of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income/(loss) presented 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 the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

 

 

 

5 Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before share-based compensation expenses, fair value changes of crypto assets and gain from disposal or fair value change of equity investments. EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expenses, income tax benefits/(expenses) and depreciation and amortization. See “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” for more details.

1 Starting from the first half of 2024, the Company updated the description of its revenue stream “big data and system-based risk management services” to “digital intelligence as a service” to provide more relevant and clear information.

 

2 As a result of the adoption of ASU 2023-08 effective January 1, 2025, crypto assets are recorded at fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized as part of net income. Accordingly, the changes in fair value recognized in the first half of 2025 are not comparable to the same period of 2024.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-08, crypto assets were classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets and were measured at cost less impairment. Subsequent increases in crypto asset prices are not allowed to be recorded unless the crypto asset is sold, at which point the gain is recognized in net income each reporting period. Accordingly, unrealized gains/(losses) recognized on crypto asset transactions for the first half of 2025 are not comparable to the same period of 2024.
