KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ruanyun Edai Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: RYET) ("Ruanyun," "RYET" or the "Company"), an AI-driven education and technology company, announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 and filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Fiscal 2026 marked Ruanyun's first fiscal year as a Nasdaq-listed company and broadened its revenue base. Campus operations and student-life services became the Company's largest revenue source and drove growth of 11.9%. Ruanyun also returned to positive equity, ending the year with $5.28 million in total equity and $3.28 million in working capital.
"We are pleased to report that revenue rose 11.9%, with campus operations and student-life services contributing $5.72 million, in line with our earlier growth expectation," said Maggie Fu, Chief Executive Officer. "Fiscal 2026 marked an important step in broadening our revenue base. These services became our largest revenue source, and we ended the year with $5.28 million in total equity and $3.28 million in working capital."
"For fiscal 2027, our priorities are to improve margins, expand sales of our AI products and develop international education opportunities," Ms. Fu continued. "We intend to build on the momentum in our campus-services business while maintaining disciplined collections and cash management. The proposed transition to the Formind Group name reflects the broader direction we are taking the Company."
Fiscal Year 2026 Highlights
- Revenue growth: Revenue rose by approximately $0.80 million, or 11.9%, to $7.48 million, meeting the Company's earlier expectation of full-year growth.
- Campus-services contribution: Campus operations and student-life services contributed $5.72 million, or 76.4% of total revenue, and became the Company's largest revenue source.
- Stronger financial position: Total equity returned to positive territory at $5.28 million, working capital improved to positive $3.28 million, and cash was $4.08 million at March 31, 2026.
- Net loss: Net loss was $7.91 million, compared with $0.52 million in fiscal 2025, reflecting the lower gross margin and higher operating expenses described below.
- Fiscal 2027 priorities: Improve margins, expand sales of AI products, build on campus-services momentum and develop international education opportunities.
Smart Campus and Related Campus Services
Campus operations and student-life services generated $5.72 million, making them Ruanyun's largest source of fiscal 2026 revenue. Smart Campus is part of these activities and continued operating after year-end. Based on unaudited internal management accounts, the Company previously reported approximately $3.83 million (RMB26.46 million) of Smart Campus operating revenue for April and May 2026, excluding merchant and service-operator pass-through amounts. This operating measure was not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may differ from revenue recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Smart Campus extends Ruanyun's work beyond classroom technology into day-to-day campus services, including food-service management, merchant settlement, dormitory utilities, student-life workflows and vocational services. In fiscal 2027, the Company plans to add customers, improve margins and operating efficiency, and shorten settlement and collection cycles.
Other Initiatives
Ruanyun is also advancing Cogni AI, YeeZo and other initiatives. Cogni AI is designed to support document digitization, recognition and automation for institutional and enterprise applications. YeeZo is designed to support AI-assisted content planning and multi-model content production. In addition, after year-end, the Company raised approximately $1.73 million in a private placement and formed Formind Global Holdings Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia to support international sales and partnerships, alongside its presence in Saudi Arabia.
These product initiatives are at different stages of commercialization and may involve customer-specific customization, deployment, integration, data migration, training and ongoing support.
Preparing for the Formind Transition
The planned move to the Formind Group name reflects Ruanyun's development beyond its original school-focused products. The new name is intended to better represent a business that now includes Smart Campus, AI products and international education, while retaining the Company's education-technology roots. The name change remains subject to shareholder approval and completion of applicable corporate and regulatory steps.
Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Review
Campus operations and student-life services became the Company's largest revenue source during fiscal 2026 and drove overall revenue growth. Because these services require more people and day-to-day operating support than the Company's historical software and content businesses, the change in mix reduced consolidated gross margin.
A substantial portion of fiscal 2026 revenue was recognized in the second half, reflecting project delivery, customer acceptance and invoicing timing, as well as the September 2025 launch of Smart Campus Services. The timing of revenue may continue to vary with contract milestones, school calendars, customer budgets and invoicing cycles.
Selling and marketing expenses increased to $3.89 million from $1.78 million, reflecting business development, international marketing and Smart Campus customer activity. General and administrative expenses increased to $4.53 million from $1.56 million. The increase included higher legal, audit, accounting-advisory, compliance, investor-relations, personnel and corporate-overhead costs following the IPO. Certain initial or transaction-specific expenditures may not recur, but the Company expects ongoing public-company reporting, governance and compliance costs. Fiscal 2026 general and administrative expense also included $0.45 million of non-cash share-based compensation. Research and development expense declined 16.7% to $0.78 million as spending was reduced and development processes were streamlined. Below operating loss, the results included a $0.74 million PRC government penalty charge and a $0.21 million government subsidy. Net loss was $7.91 million, compared with $0.52 million in fiscal 2025, reflecting the lower gross margin and higher operating expenses described above.
Cash Flow and Financial Position
Net cash used in operating activities was $9.15 million, compared with net loss of $7.91 million. The largest driver was a $6.61 million increase in prepayments and other current assets, chiefly advance payments for international marketing and promotional services and a research and development project. Non-cash charges of approximately $1.75 million for expected credit losses, together with higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset the use of cash.
The Company ended fiscal 2026 with $4.08 million in cash, $3.28 million of working capital, $14.39 million in total assets and $5.28 million in total equity.
The IPO strengthened the balance sheet. At March 31, 2025, the Company had a working-capital deficit of approximately $2.10 million and a total equity deficit of $0.51 million. The Company also ended fiscal 2026 with $4.28 million of short-term bank loans and used $9.15 million in operating activities, so collections, working-capital management and cost control remain immediate priorities.
