iHuman Inc. (NYSE:IH) announced Thursday that its net income for the second quarter rose 29.3% even as revenue slipped, boosted by lower operating costs and higher other income.
The company’s shares in after-hours trading ticked up 0.99% following the report.
For Q2 2025, iHuman, a Chinese edtech provider, posted net income of RMB31.9 million (US$4.5 million), up from RMB24.7 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings per ADS reached RMB0.60 (US$0.08), compared with RMB0.45 a year earlier.
Revenue declined to RMB200.2 million (US$27.9 million), down 6.9% from RMB215.1 million in Q2 2024. The company attributed the drop to “the decline in China’s newborn population and more conservative consumer spending.”
Average monthly active users (MAUs) also fell slightly to 23.72 million from 24.57 million a year ago.
“We are pleased to deliver another solid quarter of results, marking our 14th consecutive quarter of profitability,” said Vivien Weiwei Wang, Director and Chief Financial Officer. “This achievement is a testament to our disciplined execution and firm commitment to sustainable development.”
Operating expenses dropped 12.5% to RMB116.3 million (US$16.2 million), with notable cuts across R&D, sales and marketing, and general administrative costs.
During the quarter, iHuman continued its international expansion, rolling out a major upgrade to its Aha Makeover app and forming a strategic alliance with Cricket Media to strengthen its foothold in the U.S. education market.
As of June 30, 2025, the company held RMB1,100.1 million (US$153.6 million) in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.
