Management highlights
- Core Milestone Achievements • Achieved quarterly revenue exceeding RMB 100 million for the third time in company history, one quarter earlier than previously anticipated, validating the success of Aurora Mobile's pure SaaS strategic transformation. • Delivered the fifth consecutive quarter of U.S. GAAP net profit, with 16% year-over-year gross profit growth (gross profit of RMB 69.2 million) and a 197 basis point year-over-year improvement in gross margin. • Recorded net operating cash inflow of RMB 23.3 million, marking strong earnings quality and liquidity, with 37 days accounts receivable turnover that mitigates bad debt risk. • Core developer subscription business hit a record high net dollar retention rate of 106% for the trailing 12 months ended June 2026, and total deferred revenue reached a historic high of RMB 181.9 million, providing strong visibility into future revenue streams. - Product Development and Expansion • Engage Labs passed multiple growth milestones: cumulative signed contract value exceeded RMB 200 million by the end of Q2 2026, with over 2,100 global customers as of June 30 2026, and launched SilentAuth, a new password-less authentication solution that expands the product's identity verification capabilities for the global market. • Released a major production-grade upgrade to GPTbots.ai, the enterprise AI agent platform, addressing the limitation of conventional AI agents that lack deep business system integration. The upgrade adds three core capabilities: a graph-enhanced knowledge base, cross-channel autonomous workflow automation, and robust enterprise governance, supporting global expansion by improving sales conversion, extending market reach, meeting international compliance requirements, and reducing client onboarding costs. • New product additions and upgrades all build on the company's existing core platform infrastructure, rather than being disconnected new ventures, to drive upselling and customer stickiness. - Financial and Operational Discipline • Operating expenses totaled RMB 67.6 million, up 11% year-over-year and within management forecast. R&D expenses increased 13% year-over-year to RMB 29.3 million driven by higher staff and technical service costs; selling and marketing expenses increased 25% year-over-year to RMB 28.3 million due to higher staffing for overseas expansion; G&A expenses decreased 18% year-over-year to RMB 10 million due to improved collection efficiency reducing bad debt provisions. • Continued execution of the share repurchase program: repurchased 44,000 ADS in Q2 2026, bringing cumulative repurchases to 485,000 ADS since program launch.
Guidance
- Management reaffirmed its confidence in achieving full-year 2026 targets, as the first half performance has validated robust growth momentum and kept the company on track to meet full-year goals. - Management maintains a cautiously optimistic outlook for the second half of 2026, pointing to the strong growth trajectory of the global Engage Labs business as a key driver of continued performance. - The company will continue to exercise strict cost discipline while selectively allocating resources to high-priority long-term growth initiatives.
Segment performance
Total company revenue for Q2 2026 was RMB 101.2 million, representing 13% year-over-year growth, accounting for 100% of total revenue. 1. Developer Services: Revenue reached RMB 79.9 million, growing 24% year-over-year, contributing 78.96% of total Q2 revenue. Within this segment, core developer subscription services hit a historic high of RMB 70.7 million, growing 32% year-over-year and 9% quarter-over-quarter; value-added services revenue was RMB 9.2 million, up 36% quarter-over-quarter but down 15% year-over-year. Engage Labs, the global flagship product within this segment, had Q2 2026 recognized revenue of RMB 27.5 million, growing 186% year-over-year, with a June 2026 ARR of $14.6 million (170% year-over-year growth). 2. Vertical Applications: Revenue decreased 16% year-over-year, contributing the remaining ~21% of total Q2 revenue. Within this segment, financial risk management revenue decreased 17% year-over-year and was flat quarter-over-quarter; market intelligence revenue decreased 12% year-over-year and 11% quarter-over-quarter, in line with management expectations due to weak demand for Chinese APP data.
Risks & headwinds
- The domestic vertical applications business continues to operate in a challenging environment, with weak market demand for market intelligence services leading to year-over-year revenue declines that are expected to persist in the near term. - Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ materially from current expectations due to market and operating condition fluctuations, as disclosed in the company's SEC filings.
Analyst Q&A
Q: Management delivered a very strong Q2 2026. Can you summarize the key quarter highlights and share your outlook for the remainder of 2026?
A: The three top Q2 milestones are exceeding RMB 100 million in quarterly revenue, the fifth consecutive GAAP net profit, and RMB 23.3 million in net operating cash inflow. Management remains cautiously optimistic for H2 2026, noting the strong momentum of the global Engage Labs business, and will maintain strict cost control while investing selectively in high-priority long-term growth initiatives.
Q: New products like SilentAuth and GPTbots.ai upgrades were launched recently. Are these necessary, and how do they benefit the overall business?
A: All new products and upgrades build on the company's existing core customer engagement and AI platforms, rather than being disconnected trend-following ventures. SilentAuth expands EngageLabs' value proposition, reduces user drop-off, strengthens fraud defense, and adds new high-value authentication revenue from existing global clients. Modelix (a unified AI model gateway) solves customer pain points from fragmented AI vendor ecosystems, simplifies operations, and enhances GPTbots' functionality. The GPTbots upgrade delivers production-ready AI automation, driving upsells to existing customers and attracting new enterprise clients. Collectively, these improvements increase customer stickiness, raise average contract value, and add new revenue streams while leveraging the company's existing global infrastructure, compliance, and sales footprint.
