Shiji Information’s 2025 revenue was RMB2.79bn (-5.35% YoY). We think that the decline was mainly due to the proactive adjustment of third-party hardware-related business and reduction of low-margin operations. The attributable net profit (NP) was -RMB166mn, with the loss narrowing by 16.44% YoY. For 4Q25, revenue was RMB861mn (-7.63% YoY) and the attributable NP was -RMB187mn, with the loss narrowing by 12.76% YoY, in line with the earnings guidance. Operating cash flow in 2025 reached RMB319mn, compared with RMB67mn in 2024. In 2025, the company continued deepening its platformization and globalization strategies. SaaS annual recurring revenue (ARR) reached c RMB627mn (+20% YoY). Overseas revenue increased by 15.33% YoY to RMB691mn, accounting for 24.78% of total revenue. The global expansion is gradually shifting from the investment phase to the harvesting phase. We are optimistic about the growth potential of overseas business in 2026. Maintain BUY.
Hotel products accelerated global deployment
In 2025, the company accelerated the global rollout of its self-developed next-generation cloud-native enterprise hotel information system, DAYLIGHT PMS. It signed a contract with Marriott, the world’s largest international hotel group in terms of revenue. The company had previously signed up InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) and has now thus secured two of the world’s top five (in terms of revenue) international hotel groups as clients, indicating large-scale recognition of China-developed high-end hotel information systems by global top-tier clients. As of end-2025, DAYLIGHT PMS had been deployed in 878 hotels across 35 countries worldwide, including more than 500 IHG hotels in China. Meanwhile, INFRASYS POS, the only cloud POS product contracted by all of the top five global hotel groups, has been deployed in 4,972 outlets across over 60 countries, with its global competitiveness continuing to strengthen.
GPM improved; core software business achieved growth
For 2025, the gross profit margin (GPM) was 36.17% (+1.3pp YoY); the sales/ administrative/R&D expense ratios were 9.71/22.29/8.72% (+0.25/-0.19/+0.45pp YoY), maintaining stable expense levels. Although total revenue declined slightly YoY due to the structural adjustment of third-party hardware business, the core software business grew against the trend, with hotel information management system revenue increasing by 4.63% YoY. The retail information system business delivered strong performance, with revenue growing by 9.76% YoY. Shiji Retail secured overseas clients such as Singapore’s FairPrice and the Philippines’ SM Group, while SIXUN Software added 45,500 new stores, consolidating its industry-leading position. Additionally, the tourism and leisure system business added 24 new clients, and the Horizon Distribution platform recorded booking volume of 26.59mn room nights, reaching a historical high, with synergies across multiple business segments continuing to materialize.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We forecast revenue of RMB3,042/3,324/3,640mn for 2026/2027/2028 (previous: RMB3,676/4,196mn for 2026/2027, adjusted due to the pace of client demand being released and lower growth assumptions for hotel and retail information management systems). We value the stock at 11.4x 2026E PS, at par with its peers’ average on Wind consensus, for our target price of RMB12.71 (previous: RMB12.78, based on 10.7x 2025E PS, in line with its peers’ then average).
Risks: economic fluctuations; disappointing progress in cloud-product promotion.
