Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 were RMB1.3 billion (US$183.6 million), representing a 9.5% decrease from RMB1.5 billion for the same period of 2023.
Net revenues from learning services were RMB617.7 million (US$84.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a 21.2% decrease from RMB784.0 million for the same period of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was due to our continued strategic focus on a more selective customer acquisition approach, prioritizing higher ROI (return on investment) engagements. We believe despite the short-term revenue decline, this strategy has enhanced the overall resilience and operational efficiency of our business.
Net revenues from smart devices were RMB240.4 million (US$32.9 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, representing an 8.1% increase from RMB222.4 million for the same period of 2023, primarily driven by the continued increase in sales of Youdao Dictionary Pen in 2024.
Net revenues from online marketing services were RMB481.7 million (US$66.0 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a modest increase from RMB474.1 million for the same period of 2023.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2024 was RMB640.8 million (US$87.8 million), representing a 13.3% decrease from RMB738.8 million for the same period of 2023. Gross margin was 47.8% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with 49.9% for the same period of 2023.
Gross margin for learning services was 60.0% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with 63.6% for the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decline in economies of scale as a result of the decreased revenues from learning services.
Gross margin for smart devices increased to 43.9% for the fourth quarter of 2024 from 38.3% for the same period of 2023. The improvement was mainly attributable to the higher gross margin arising from the newly launched Youdao Dictionary Pen in 2024.
Gross margin for online marketing services was 34.2% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with 32.7% for the same period of 2023.

Sales and marketing expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were RMB381.8 million (US$52.3 million), representing a decrease of 13.5% from RMB441.4 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease was attributable to the reduced marketing expenditures, as well as declined outsourcing labor service fees and payroll related expenses in learning services.
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were RMB120.7 million (US$16.5 million), representing a decrease of 28.2% from RMB168.1 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased headcount for research and development employees, leading to payroll savings in the fourth quarter of 2024.
General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were RMB54.1 million (US$7.4 million), largely flat compared with RMB53.0 million for the same period of 2023.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB158.2 million (US$21.7 million).

Non-GAAP Measures
Youdao considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income/(loss) per ADS, as supplemental metrics in reviewing and assessing its operating performance and formulating its business plan. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
Youdao defines non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders as net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses and impairment of long-term investments. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders enables Youdao's management to assess its operating results without considering the impact of these items, which are non-cash charges in nature. Youdao believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company's current operating performance and prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose.
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, which possibly do not reflect all items of expense that affect our operations. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures Youdao uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures uses by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this release.
The accompanying table has more details on the reconciliation between our GAAP financial measures that are mostly directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures. Youdao encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
