Foreign exchange risk
As of December 31, 2025, we held 83.9% of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments in RMB, 13.4% in U.S. dollars, and the remainder primarily in Japanese yen and Hong Kong dollars. Our overseas operations generate revenues primarily in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen and Hong Kong dollars. Generally, a

weakening of the RMB against the U.S. dollar has a positive effect on our results of operations, while a strengthening of the RMB against the U.S. dollar has the opposite effect. Our results of operations, including margins, are affected by the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates. Currently, we do not believe we experience any significant foreign exchange risk. However, the value of your investment in the ADSs will be affected by the exchange rate between U.S. dollar and RMB because the value of our business is effectively denominated in RMB, while the ADSs will be traded in U.S. dollars.
The conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, is based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China. The RMB has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future.
To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount we receive from the conversion. As of December 31, 2025, we had RMB-denominated cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of RMB1,515.0 million, and U.S. dollar-denominated cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of US$34.4 million. Assuming we had converted the U.S. dollar dominated cash balance of US$16.9 million at the exchange rate of RMB6.9931 for US$1.00 as of December 31, 2025, this cash balance would have been RMB117.9 million. If the RMB had appreciated by 1% against the U.S. dollar, this RMB cash balance would have been RMB116.7 million instead. Conversely, if we decide to convert RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amounts available to us.
Interest rate risk
We are exposed to cash flow interest rate risk due to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rates on bank balances, restricted bank deposits, loan receivables and bank and other borrowings which carry at prevailing deposit interest rates or variable interest rates based on the interest rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. We are also exposed to market interest rate risk that relates primarily to our fixed rate bank and other borrowings. We monitor market interest rate risk exposure by closely monitoring market interest rate risk profile and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.
We have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in market interest rates. We currently do not use any derivative contracts to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk. However, our future interest expenses may exceed expectations due to changes in market interest rates.
