Ruanyun Edai Technology Announces Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2025

Key Financial Performance Highlights

  • Revenue decreased by 27.0% to $6.7 million in FY2025, primarily due to declines in SmartHomework® platform development and digitalization services, despite significant increases in revenues from SmartHomework® software customization and content development, and licensing sales, which rose by 3117% and 5492%, respectively, along with a 70.4% growth in SmartExam® services driven by international expansion after the IPO.
  • Gross profit rose 29.1% to $3.8 million, with gross margin improving from 32.1% to 56.7%, driven by a shift to higher-margin software services.
  • As a result, net loss narrowed to $0.5 million from $2.1 million.

Yan Fu, Founder and CEO of Ruanyun, commented: "In FY2025, despite our decrease in total revenue, our software customization and content development segment saw strong growth. As policy changes in China impacted revenue from some of our services, we're strategically shifting towards higher-margin software and AI-based services like AI-OCR for greater efficiency and customer diversification."

"Aggressive cost management significantly strengthened our financials. Cost of revenue dropped by more than 50% to approximately $2.9 million. This led to a substantial 29.1% gross profit increase to approximately $3.8 million, expanding our gross margin by 24.6% to 56.7%. Consequently, our net loss narrowed significantly to approximately $0.5 million in FY2025 from approximately $2.1 million a year earlier."

"Looking ahead, our U.S. IPO has already enabled the international replication of our business model, demonstrated by services provided to Lorpzenst Innovations LLC in the United States. Furthermore, our advancements in AI-based digital technology services, particularly with AI-OCR, present broad applicability beyond our current focus. In Saudi Arabia our innovative Chinese language learning platform, HanLink, has already established local partnerships and we are structured to keep expanding in the Middle Eastern region. We believe that this technological foundation and our proven operational model position us well for potential expansion into vocational, postgraduate, and adult education sectors, as well as broader geographic markets. Ruanyun believes that these strategic shifts, combined with improved profitability and efficient cost management, lay the groundwork for sustainable long-term growth and enhanced value for our shareholders."

Revenue

The Company's revenue has primarily come from two main product lines: SmartExam® solution and SmartHomework® solution. These solutions generate revenue through six core streams: platform development, other testing services, software customization and content development, licensing, personalized exercise books and MOTK Pro, and digitalization services.

Revenue decreased by approximately $2.5 million, or 27.0%, from approximately $9.2 million in fiscal year 2024 to approximately $6.7 million in fiscal year 2025. The decrease in revenue primarily reflects a decrease in SmartHomework® solution digitalization services and SmartHomework® solution platform development, which was partially offset by an increase in SmartHomework® solution software customization and content development sales.

USD million, except % 2025 2024 Variance %
SmartExam® solution 0.7 0.6 15.5
SmartHomework® solution 6.0 8.6 (29.8)
Total revenues 6.7 9.2 (27.0)

SmartExam® Solution

  • Platform Development revenue decreased by $97,758, or 31.5%, to $212,377 in FY2025 from $310,135 in FY2024, due to a smaller project scale, despite completing one project each year. Future growth hinges on capturing market share in China's computerized testing sector.
  • Other Services revenue jumped 70.4%, from $265,707 in FY2024 to $452,881 in FY2025. This growth is largely due to our U.S. IPO enabling international business replication, notably with Lorpzenst Innovations LLC in the United States.

SmartHomework® Solution

  • Platform Development revenue decreased significantly by approximately $2.6 million, or 81.8%, to $571,658 in FY2025 from approximately $3.1 million in FY2024. This decline was primarily due to the high capital risk of upfront hardware investments and extended repayment cycles for domestic government projects.
  • Software Customization and Content Development revenue soared by 3117%, from $74,138 in FY2024 to approximately $2.4 million in FY2025. This surge was driven by standardized, rapidly replicable software products meeting customer needs.
  • Licensing revenue increased by 5492%, from $2,748 to $153,666, attributable to our standardized question bank's broad applicability.
  • Digitalization Services revenue decreased by approximately $2.4 million, or 45.5%, from approximately $5.3 million in FY2024 to approximately $2.9 million in FY2025, largely due to Chinese education policies limiting supplementary materials.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by approximately $3.3 million, or 53.5%, from approximately $6.2 million in FY2024 to approximately $2.9 million in FY2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Company's plan to discontinue businesses with significant hardware investment.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit increased by $855,732, or 29.1%, from approximately $2.9 million in FY2024 to approximately $3.8 million in FY2025. Gross margin increased by 24.6% from 32.1% in FY2024 to 56.7% in FY2025.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased by $779,212, or 15.4%, from approximately $5.1 million in FY2024 to $4.3 million in FY2025.

Net Loss

Net losses for FY2025 and FY2024 were approximately $0.5 million and approximately $2.1 million, respectively.
