Foreign Exchange Risk
We are exposed to currency risk primarily due to receivables, payables and cash balances that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of our companies. Foreign exchange rate risks exist primarily for the U.S. dollar.
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents denominated in U.S. dollar amounting to US$207.0 million, trade receivables in U.S. dollar amounting to US$9.4 million and intercompany payables in U.S. dollar amounting to US$146.0 million. A 10% depreciation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar based on the foreign exchange rate on December 31, 2025 would result in a decrease of RMB49.2 million in our loss for the year and cumulative losses. A 10% appreciation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar based on the foreign exchange rate on December 31, 2025 would result in an increase of RMB49.2 million in our loss for the year and cumulative losses. We have not used any derivative financial instruments to hedge exposure to foreign exchange risk. We monitor our currency risk exposure by periodically reviewing foreign currency exchange rates and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.
In addition, the value of your investment in our ADSs will be affected by the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi because the value of our business is effectively denominated in Renminbi, while our ADSs will be traded in U.S. dollars.
The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, is based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China. The Renminbi 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 Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future. To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert Renminbi 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 Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amounts available to us.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest-bearing financial instruments at variable rates and at fixed rates expose us to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest risk, respectively. We determine the appropriate weight of the fixed and floating rate interest-bearing instruments based on the current market conditions and performs regular reviews and monitoring to achieve an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate exposure. We have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in market interest rates. We do not enter into financial derivatives to hedge interest rate risk.
