Business Review: Key Developments and Strategic Shifts

1. Industry Environment and Policy Context

2025 saw China’s real estate market remain in deep adjustment, with sales volumes and values declining, though the pace of decline narrowed, signaling a possible bottoming out. Policy support intensified, emphasizing “quality housing,” city-level policies, and the transformation towards stock-oriented (existing asset-focused) development. This policy backdrop is expected to increase demand for digitalization and operational efficiency among real estate players.

2. Product and Segment Performance

Cloud Services (84.3% of Total Revenue):
- CRM SaaS: Revenue declined 10.6% to RMB767.7 million. However, the Company launched several new AI-powered marketing modules, expanded partnerships with Douyin and Xiaohongshu, and continued to drive digital marketing transformation. AI products for CRM Cloud recorded RMB54 million in contract value and covered over 2,500 sales offices.
- Property Management & Operation SaaS: Revenue grew 5.1% to RMB104.9 million, driven by robust demand from state-owned platform companies and new AI-enabled product launches.
- Construction Management SaaS: Revenue decreased 11.0% to RMB110.5 million, reflecting market headwinds. The launch of “AI Cost Database” helped digitize and streamline cost management for large SOEs and industrial customers.
- Skyline PaaS Platform: Revenue dropped 11.6% to RMB99.3 million. The platform expanded its internationalization and AI capabilities, supporting multi-language deployment and advanced Agentic Workflow for enterprise clients.
On-premise Software and Services: Revenue fell 15.9% to RMB201.6 million due to fewer new projects. However, support and value-added services for existing clients held steady, mitigating the decline.
Overseas Expansion: Overseas contract value surpassed RMB30 million. The Company set up local teams in Southeast Asia, Japan, Hong Kong, and the Middle East, and acquired Japanese proptech firm ASIOT. New “AI+IoT+SaaS” products like “A Smart” (smart meter reading), VR tour, and Linkforce were rolled out for international markets.

3. Cost Optimization and Efficiency Gains

Selling and marketing expenses dropped 21.9% to RMB591.4 million.
General and administrative expenses fell 31.6% to RMB166.9 million.
R&D expenses were cut by 22.2% to RMB374.9 million, without compromising product innovation.
AI-driven automation improved customer service response rates and R&D efficiency, with AI handling 35% of support tickets and boosting development productivity.

Business Outlook: Strategic Priorities for 2026 and Beyond

1. Domestic Market Focus

Continue to optimize customer structure, focus on high-quality state-owned and industrial clients, and drive adoption of AI-powered SaaS products to sustain profit growth.
Accelerate closed-loop CRM AI product development, expand into non-real estate verticals (e.g., automotive), and deepen partnerships with key video and digital platforms.

2. Overseas Expansion

Increase investments in developed markets (Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, Middle East) through localized teams, M&A, and ecosystem partnerships.
Promote flagship products (“A Smart”, “AI Virtual Tour”, “Linkforce”) and adapt offerings to local market needs.
Poised for a 3-5 year accelerated growth phase in overseas markets, with foundations laid for future revenue diversification.

3. Dual-Engine AI Strategy

“AI-Native” products (e.g., Agent-driven marketing, tendering, asset operations) will serve as new growth engines, enabling scalable, replicable solutions.
“AI-Enabled” upgrades will be embedded across all core products, offering intelligent summarization, document generation, risk alerts, and more, with new monetization models (upgrade packages, quotas).

4. Capital Management and Dividends

Healthy cash reserves, no material debt, and prudent capital/credit risk management practices.
Special dividend proposed; share repurchases conducted during 2025, reflecting management’s confidence in Company’s long-term prospects and commitment to shareholder returns.

Important Shareholder and Price-Sensitive Matters

Special Dividend: Proposal for HK\$0.1 (RMB0.088) per share special dividend, subject to AGM approval. Record date: 27 May 2026. If approved, this payout is expected on or around 8 July 2026. This can have a positive impact on the share price due to direct return to shareholders.
Share Buybacks: In 2025, the Company repurchased over 73 million shares, with 12.3 million held as treasury shares as of year end. Additional buybacks occurred post-year end. Buybacks typically support share prices and signal management’s confidence.
Profit Turnaround: The shift from loss to profit (including adjusted net profit) is a major inflection point and may positively affect valuation and investor sentiment.
Overseas Growth: The Company’s successful overseas expansion, particularly in Japan and Southeast Asia, combined with its “AI+IoT+SaaS” strategy, could provide new growth drivers and diversify geographic risk, which may impact future valuations.
AI Productization and Efficiency: The Company’s aggressive AI integration, from CRM to R&D, positions it as a tech leader in real estate SaaS, potentially attracting premium valuations if execution continues to deliver results.

Conclusion

The 2025 results mark a significant turnaround for Ming Yuan Cloud, with the Company not only returning to profitability but also laying the groundwork for future growth through strategic AI integration and overseas market expansion. The special dividend proposal and ongoing share buybacks are strong signals of management’s confidence and commitment to shareholder value. The ongoing transformation of China’s real estate industry and the Company’s positioning as a technological enabler open new opportunities, though risks remain given the still-challenging domestic market environment. Investors should closely monitor the execution of overseas strategies and the scaling of AI-driven products as key drivers for future performance.
