2025 recurring NP+61%YoY,AI drove operating quality gain
For 2025,the attributable NP reached RMB289mn(+42%YoY),while the recurring NP reached RMB268mn(+61%YoY).The attributable NP margin(NPM)improved by 4.03pp YoY,mainly driven by simultaneous improvement in the gross margin and expense ratios.The gross margin reached 93.75%in 2025,up by 0.50 pp YoY,as greater product standardization supported margin expansion.In 2025,the selling,administrative,and R&D expense ratios were 66.61%,3.43%,and 13.43%,respectively,changing by-1.7pp,+0.34pp,and-0.32pp YoY.The improvements in the selling and R&D expense ratios mainly reflected better labor efficiency driven by AI.By the end of 2025,the company had 1,095 employees,down by 24%YoY,and headcount continued to decline steadily.We think that internal AI-driven efficiency gains should continue to lift profitability.
R&D remained high,while AI upgrades progressed steadily
In 2025,the company’s R&D expense ratio stayed high at 13.43%,supporting acomprehensive acceleration in AI upgrades across its products.During the year,the company launched Xiaoe.AI,its digital intelligence brain built on a‘large model+small model+agent’architecture.It provides an intelligent service foundation for business systems and is gradually enabling intelligent upgrades across scenarios such as marketing,sales,contracts,procurement,projects,customer service,HR,assets,finance,and archives.At the same time,the company has accelerated its adaptation to China’s domestic IT ecosystem.It reached strategic cooperation agreements with leading technology companies such as Tencent,Kingsoft Office,JD.com,and Inspur.In 2025,it completed adaptation for multiple Xinchuang(Information Technology Application Innovation)products,further expanding the platform’s ecosystem compatibility and delivery scope.We think that the company has astrong position in enterprise collaboration,and successful AI product upgrades should help its revenue benefit from arecovery in downstream demand in 2026.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We revise down our 2026 and 2027 attributable NP forecasts to RMB332mn and RMB379mn,respectively,down by 7.49%and 13.87%from our previous estimates.We forecast the 2028 attributable NP at RMB446mn,for athree-year CAGR of 15.64%,with EPS of RMB1.29,RMB1.48,and RMB1.74.The downward revisions mainly reflect the slower-than-expected recovery in downstream demand,which should continue exerting near-term pressure.Comparable companies trade at an average of 45.7x 2026E PE on Wind consensus.Given intensifying competition in collaborative office software,we use 40x 2026E PE for our valuation.Our target price is RMB51.60,versus our previous RMB75.60 based on 72x 2025E PE.Maintain BUY.
Risks:product expansion falling short of our expectations;downstream demand below our expectation;market competition intensifies.
