BEIJING (dpa-AFX) - iHuman Inc. (IH), a Chinese provider of tech-powered education services and products for children, on Tuesday reported a decline in its fourth-quarter net earnings, due to a drop in revenue, hurt by a fall in China's newborn population and more conservative consumer spending.

Excluding items, earnings were RMB 27.035 million, or RMB 0.50 per ADS, compared with RMB 35.389 million, or RMB 0.65 per ADS a year ago.
Income before income taxes slipped to RMB 27.163 million from the prior year's RMB 30.860 million.
Operating income stood at RMB 14.918 million as against RMB 21.895 million in 2023.
