Dr. Peng Dai, Director and Chief Executive Officer of iHuman, commented, “Despite the impact of seasonality on our business, we are pleased to deliver another quarter of solid results, marked by year-over-year revenue improvement and enhanced profitability. This performance underscores the resilience of our business model and the effective execution by our team to further solidify our industry-leading position. During the quarter, we remained committed to our product-driven strategy and to strengthening our portfolio through a combination of cutting-edge technological innovation and captivating content. Domestically, we further optimized our comprehensive portfolio, rolling out enhancements to both newer releases and well-established core offerings. For example, within iHuman Little Artists, we launched “Interactive Art Gallery”, an innovative module designed to introduce children to art and nurture their creativity through an integrated online-offline experience. Leveraging advanced technologies such as key point recognition, image segmentation and an AI-driven assessment engine, the module provides children with extensive support throughout their creative journey, including step-by-step instructions, instant and personalized feedback, and guidance from seasoned art professionals. Within our long-standing flagship app, iHuman Chinese, which is the prominent market leader in the category, we introduced a new module named “Chinese Characters in Daily Life.” By integrating Chinese characters into everyday life scenarios and weaving them into intriguing short stories that resonate with children, the module strengthens children’s familiarity and proficiency with Chinese characters in a fun way. Internationally, we continued to boost our market presence by diligently enriching our product offerings with enlightening content and innovative features. In particular, we expanded Aha World with two more highly engaging modules, “My World” and “City.” Designed to further unleash children’s creativity, these modules offer children a wide array of elements with which they can use their imagination to custom-design scenes from daily life in the virtual world. The open-ended creative experience offered by these modules received an enthusiastic reception from our young audience. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on technological innovation and content excellence to secure the long-term success of our products and sustainable growth of our business.”

 

Ms. Vivien Weiwei Wang, Director and Chief Financial Officer of iHuman, added, “We reported another solid set of results which reflects our commitment and continued focus on driving sustainable growth and profitability. Our revenues continued to grow year-over-year and our net income nearly doubled, marking our sixth consecutive quarter of profitability. Our strong and balanced financial position enables us to continue investing in innovation and cutting-edge technologies to support the sustainable growth of our business. The solid foundation created by our user base is an integral driver for our long-term growth. During the quarter, our average total MAUs increased by 11.7% year-over-year to 20.33 million. We are encouraged by the strength and resilience of our diversified business and our ability to execute on our strategy to drive business growth. As we move into the second half of the year, we will continue to drive business growth and create value for our shareholders by further enhancing our operational efficiency and strategically investing in long-term growth opportunities, fortifying our industry-leading position.”

Exchange Rate Information

 

The U.S. dollar (US$) amounts disclosed in this press release, except for those transaction amounts that were actually settled in U.S. dollars, are presented solely for the convenience of the reader. The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into US$ in this press release is based on the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of June 30, 2023, which was RMB7.2513 to US$1.00. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on the RMB amounts.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

iHuman considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per ADS, as supplemental metrics in reviewing and assessing its operating performance and formulating its business plan. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). iHuman defines adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per ADS as operating income, net income and diluted net income per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses, respectively. Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per ADS enable iHuman’s management to assess its operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges. iHuman believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s current operating performance and prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, which possibly do not reflect all items of expense that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures iHuman uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
