¹ In August 2024, Viomi completed a strategic reorganization, divesting the Company’s IoT@Home portfolio products, excluding range hoods, gas stoves, and water heaters (the “Divested Business”). As a result, the Divested Business has been deconsolidated from the Company, and its historical financial results are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The financial information and non-GAAP financial information disclosed in this press release are presented based on continuing operations, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Mr. Xiaoping Chen, Founder and CEO of Viomi, commented, “In the second half of 2025, amid the phase-down of national subsidy scheme for home appliance trade-ins and the Company's strategic investments in overseas market expansion, new product development, and brand building, we delivered total revenue of RMB950.6 million and net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company of RMB 21.2 million. For the full year, our core business remained solid, achieving total revenue of RMB2.4 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 14.6%. Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company stood at RMB141.6 million, with a net profit margin of 5.8%.

“Over the past year, Viomi's ‘Global Water’ strategy has continued to gain momentum, highlighted by the establishment of a multinational professional team covering North America, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Empowered by a global perspective across technology R&D, market expansion, and business development, we have consistently achieved technological breakthroughs addressing users’ diverse drinking water needs. By leveraging AI technology to enhance user product experiences, we’re establishing Viomi as a world-leading water technology company.

“In the North American market, our Amazon channel delivered an outstanding performance in the second half of the year, achieving triple-digit growth in sales on a sequential basis. During the Black Friday promotional season, our products ranked 19th in the water purifier category and fourth in the under-sink RO tankless segment. Our premium flagship product, the M1 mineral water purifier, equipped with 9-stage precision filtration and an AI-powered interactive faucet, further enriched our product portfolio.

“In the Southeast Asian market, we continued to deepen our strategic cooperation with offline channels in Malaysia through the launch of the compact INNO mineral water dispenser, tailored for the local market and featuring both mineralization and cooling functions. Viomi’s brand ambassador in Malaysia, celebrated singer Shila Amzah, attended the launch event for this innovative product integrating healthy hydration and smart technology.

“In terms of brand building, we continued to strengthen our ‘Technology + Health’ brand image. In 2025, we were honored to engage renowned actress Huang Shengyi to serve as Viomi’s brand ambassador in China and Shila Amzah in Malaysia. We also partnered with Olympic champion Tian Liang as a brand friend and invited well-known artist Ye Yiqian to serve as our product experience officer. In April 2026, we will unveil our new brand series at the WQA Convention & Exposition in Miami, USA, showcasing our latest AI technologies and innovations at one of the most influential professional events in the global water treatment industry. Through our smarter, healthier, and more eco-friendly water solutions, we will present Viomi’s redefined vision of ‘Better Water’ to partners in North America and around the world.

“On the manufacturing and R&D front, we continued to solidify our core competitiveness. We achieved a key milestone in the global expansion of Viomi’s ‘Water Purifier Gigafactory,’ commencing full operations of our overseas premium production line. The first batch of new products is expected to be ready for mass production in the second quarter of 2026. This production line integrates modular functions such as instant heating, instant cooling, and ice making, providing agile supply chain support to meet the differentiated needs of markets in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. On the technology side, our ‘Advanced Technology’ laboratory continues to drive innovation. Meanwhile, our ‘Product Compliance’ laboratory has established testing protocols aligned with authoritative certification systems in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, and other regions, further strengthening market trust in our products sold overseas. As of the end of 2025, our global patent applications had surpassed 1,950, spanning 14 countries and regions. We have built highly competitive technological capabilities in areas such as AI-driven water quality algorithms, precision mineral control, and intelligent self-cleaning, laying a solid foundation for the continued expansion of our global business.

“In 2026, we will pursue our ‘Global Water’ vision with even greater determination, targeting breakthroughs in four key areas: First, for overseas markets, we will deepen our presence in core strategic markets such as North America and Southeast Asia, while actively expanding into more countries and regions. Second, to advance our differentiation in the domestic market, we will further strengthen the health-centric positioning of the Kunlun series with its ‘alkaline mineral’ concept. Through technological differentiation and product innovation, we will strive to lead quality upgrades and enhance Viomi's industry standing in the water purification market. Third, on the technology front, we will deepen the integration of AI across water purification scenarios, making technological innovation the core engine that enables Viomi to navigate market cycles and achieve sustained growth. Fourth, we will continue to strengthen collaborations with global strategic partners, fully leveraging the scale effect of the ‘Water Purifier Gigafactory’ to elevate both scale and efficiency. Through this committed, long-term approach, Viomi will continue to create value for global users and deliver sustainable returns to our shareholders,” Mr. Chen concluded.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP operating income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss), and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Non-GAAP operating income/(loss) is income/(loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) is net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company is net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses. The non-GAAP adjustments do not have any tax impact as share-based compensation expenses are non-deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges, and these measures provide useful information about the Company’s operating results, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternative to income from operations, net income, or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. We encourage investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release.
