DBNER indicates the Company's ability to expand customer use of the Tuya platform over time and generate revenue growth from existing customers.
Mr. Xueji (Jerry) Wang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tuya, commented, "We maintained steady progress amid a complex and evolving operating environment, delivering solid revenue growth for the full year while further enhancing profitability and operating efficiency. The steady improvement in gross margin reflects our value positioning and technical pricing power within the industry, as well as the resilience of our core platform business structure. Sustained and healthy net profitability and operating cash flow further validate the durability of our business model and our ability to translate disciplined operations into solid financial performance.
Strategically, we continued to advance our AI+IoT strategy of 'platform empowerment + application expansion,' accelerating the systematic integration of AI capabilities across our platform and device ecosystem. At CES, we introduced Hey Tuya, our AI-powered smart life assistant, and showcased the supporting Physical AI Engine (PAE) architecture. This extension of our AI capabilities from the platform layer to cross-device, scenario-based product experiences marks a significant milestone in our transition from technology enablement to scenario-based product deployment.
As of the end of 2025, the number of registered AI+IoT developers on our platform reached 1.8 million, representing a 37% year-over-year increase. Approximately 16,000 AI Agents have been cumulatively developed on the Tuya platform. AI penetration across end products continues to increase, with commercialization advancing steadily. AI is evolving from standalone functionality into replicable applications and recurring revenue streams, structurally enhancing our platform's value.
Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our AI-native platform capabilities and developer ecosystem. Supported by a robust business model and solid financial foundation, we remain focused on driving long-term value creation."
Mr. Yi (Alex) Yang, Director and Chief Financial Officer of Tuya, added, "In the fourth quarter, the Company's profitability continued to improve, with GAAP operating margin turning positive year over year and net profit margin expanding significantly, primarily driven by expense mix optimization and increased operating leverage. Building on steady revenue growth, we achieved a meaningful improvement in profitability.
For the full year 2025, the Company restored GAAP profitability while maintaining revenue growth and solid operating cash flow, reflecting continued cost discipline and resource allocation optimization.
Meanwhile, leveraging the ongoing evolution of our AI capabilities, we accelerated the development of recurring revenue models, particularly cloud software and value-added services, across our existing customer and developer ecosystem. In 2025, SaaS and others revenue achieved double-digit year-over-year growth, outpacing overall revenue growth and indicating continued improvement in revenue mix.
As of year-end, the Company's balance sheet remained strong, with cash and liquid investments exceeding US$1.0 billion and no interest-bearing debt. Our liquidity position provides flexibility to support long-term strategic investments and resilience against external volatility."

Business Outlook
The overall operating environment for connected devices and intelligent solutions remains complex, while continuing to show signs of stabilization. Participants across the value chain - including manufacturers, brands, and channel partners - are maintaining a cautious approach to planning; however, we have observed a normalization in project execution and clearer demand visibility in several of our core categories.
At the same time, enterprises and consumers worldwide are accelerating their adoption of AI technologies and smart hardware. In the fourth quarter, Tuya continued to advance its AI and platform strategy by enhancing its AI-powered PaaS and SaaS offerings, expanding industry-focused solutions such as space-intelligence, and further cultivating its global developer and partner ecosystem. These initiatives are designed to reinforce our position as a leading AI developer platform and drive diversified, higher-value revenue streams over the long term.
Building on recent quarters' progress, including sustained profitability, improved margins and robust operating cash flow, the Company remains focused on disciplined execution while selectively investing in key product, technology, and market growth opportunities. Tuya believes that its platform capabilities, ecosystem strengths, and solid financial position provide a strong foundation to navigate near-term uncertainties and capture long-term structural opportunities in the global intelligent technology market.
In response to this evolving market environment, the Company will remain committed to iterating and improving its products and services and further enhancing software and hardware capabilities, specifically by leveraging its AI capabilities, expanding its key customer base, investing in innovations and new opportunities, diversifying revenue streams, and further optimizing operating efficiency. At the same time, the Company's future trajectory may be affected by a range of factors, including shifting consumer spending patterns, regional economic disparities, inventory management, foreign exchange rate and interest rate volatility, new tariffs, adjustments in existing tariffs or trade barriers, and broader geopolitical uncertainties.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP profit from operations (including non-GAAP operating margin), non-GAAP net profit (including non-GAAP net margin), and non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company defines non-GAAP financial measures by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, credit-related impairment/(reversal) of long-term investments and litigation costs from the respective GAAP financial measures. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance.
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. One of the key limitations of using the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of expenses that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation expenses, credit-related impairment/(reversal) of long-term investments and litigation costs have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP measures. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Reconciliations of Tuya's non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release.
