Our robotics and others segment delivered strong year-over-year growth while adjusted operating loss further narrowed, reflecting improving commercial traction and operating efficiency. We also continued advancing EasyClaw, our AI agent platform focused on enterprise productivity scenarios, and introduced other AI Agent products. We believe long-term opportunities in AI will come from practical applications, workflow integration, and real customer value creation. Across the industry, we are seeing growing adoption of AI agents, which is driving demand for AI infrastructure and cloud services. This trend also benefited our services of cloud and AI infrastructure business, which delivered strong year-over-year revenue growth during the quarter. Supported by stable cash flow from our internet services business, we remain focused on disciplined investment, product execution, and building sustainable long-term growth engines."

Thomas Ren, Chief Financial Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: "Starting from the first quarter of 2026, we began reporting our robotics business as a separate segment to present the operating progress of this business. Historical results previously reported under the AI and others segment are now presented as robotics and others, which primarily includes robotics-related products and services, and global enterprise services, which includes advertising agency and services of cloud and AI infrastructure through partnering with global leading cloud service providers. We also maintained a solid balance sheet, ending the quarter with US$ 185.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, supporting our disciplined investment in AI and robotics initiatives over the long term."

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total revenues remained relatively flat year over year, generating RMB259.0 million (US$37.5 million) in the first quarter of 2026.

• Revenues from Robotics and Others increased 175.9% year over year to RMB51.2 million, accounting for 19.8% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2026.
• Internet Services revenue decreased 15.2% year over year to RMB135.0 million. This year-over-year decrease was resulting from a 46.3% decline in the Company's online advertising business. However, revenue from internet value added services increased by 8.2% year over year in the first quarter of 2026, contributing to 72.8% of this quarter's Internet Services segment revenue, and 38.0% of this quarter's total revenues.
• Global Enterprise Services revenue decreased 10.5% year over year to RMB 72.8 million. This year-over-year decrease resulted from a 51.5% decline in the Company's advertising agency services business due to policy shifts from a major global advertising platform. However, revenue from services of cloud and AI infrastructure increased 68.3% year over year in the first quarter of 2026, contributing to 64.3% of this quarter's Global Enterprise Services segment revenue and 18.1% of this quarter's total revenues. This increase was a result of an increasing number of enterprises in the overseas markets adopting AI agent products to improve productivity, which drove demands for both tokens and cloud computing resources through our platform.

Operating loss was RMB28.3 (US$4.1 million) million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB26.5 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating loss was RMB22.5 million (US$3.3 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB14.3 million in the same period last year.

• Adjusted operating loss from Robotics and Others decreased by 57.1% year over year to RMB26.9 million in the first quarter of 2026.
• Adjusted operating profit from Internet Services business decreased by 38.2% year over year in the first quarter of 2026, mainly due to the decline in online advertising revenue in this segment, along with our investments in AI agent related products. However, we still earned RMB15.2 million from the Internet Services business in this quarter, which laid a solid foundation for our investments in robotics and AI applications.
• Adjusted operating profit from Global Enterprise Services decreased by 67.3% year over year to RMB13.8 million in the first quarter of 2026. This decline was resulting from the revenue decrease in the Company's advertising agency services business.

Non-GAAP net loss attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders was RMB11.7 million (US$1.7 million), compared with non-GAAP net loss attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders of RMB21.1 million in the same period last year.

These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including but are not limited to the following: Cheetah Mobile's growth strategies; Cheetah Mobile's ability to retain and increase its user base and expand its product and service offerings; Cheetah Mobile's ability to monetize its platform; Cheetah Mobile's future business development, financial condition and results of operations; competition with companies in a number of industries including internet companies that provide online marketing services and internet value-added services; expected changes in Cheetah Mobile's revenues and certain cost or expense items; and general economic and business condition globally and in China.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including but not limited to:

• Non-GAAP cost of revenues excludes share-based compensation expenses;
• Non-GAAP gross profit excludes share-based compensation expenses;
• Non-GAAP gross margin excludes share-based compensation expenses;
• Total non-GAAP operating expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions;
• Non-GAAP research and development expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions;
• Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses , amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions;
• Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses;
• Non-GAAP operating profit/loss excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions;

• Non-GAAP diluted earnings/losses per ADS excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions.

The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business, as well as impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results".
