We observed a notable uptick in demand for high-quality educational products and learning services and our deep industry insights, exceptional organizational capabilities and well-established teacher recruitment and training systems have provided a robust foundation for the sustainable development of our business. Our net revenues increased 20.9% year-over-year to RMB761.0 million, exceeding our expectations. Our gross billings grew 28.1% year-over-year to approximately RMB1.3 billion, indicating an accelerating growth trend compared to prior quarters. We expect this accelerating momentum of our business to continue.

We have full confidence in Gaotu’s prospects for 2024 and for the further future. Moving forward, we believe that we can achieve promising topline growth while enhancing profitability by consistently delivering top-notch educational products and learning services, thus generating long-term value for both our shareholders and society.”

Shannon Shen, CFO of the Company, added, ” During the quarter, our business entered a healthy phase of rapid and sustainable expansion. Our traditional learning services continue to maintain a leading edge in the online space while our new initiatives focused on non-academic tutoring services have shown excellent growth momentum. For the full year of 2023, the gross billings for traditional services combined with new initiatives achieved nearly 50% year-over-year growth. This outcome was underpinned by a combination of top-notch educational products and high-caliber learning services. Benefiting from ongoing improvements in operational efficiency, our net operating cash inflow reached RMB491.5 million, while our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, withdrawable cash balance on third-party payment as well as short and long-term investments exceeded RMB4.0 billion, laying solid groundwork for the long-term growth of our business.

By strengthening our core competencies, we were able to swiftly deploy resources based on changes in the market environment and user demand. We will continue to execute stock buybacks in accordance with the guidance of the board of directors, and create long-term value for our shareholders.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses gross billings, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss), each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

The Company defines gross billings for a specific period as the total amount of cash received for the sale of course offerings in such period, net of the total amount of refunds in such period. The Company’s management uses gross billings as a performance measurement because the Company generally bills its students for the entire course fee at the time of sale of its course offerings and recognizes revenue proportionally as the classes are delivered. For some courses, the Company continues to provide students with 12 months to 36 months access to the pre-recorded audio-video courses after the online live courses are delivered. The Company believes that gross billings provides valuable insight into the sales of its course packages and the performance of its business. As gross billings have material limitations as an analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) exclude share-based compensation expenses. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical performance. A limitation of using non-GAAP measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures” set forth at the end of this release.

The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

The automotive ECU market is being driven by the shift toward zonal and centralized E/E architectures, which require higher-performance controllers to manage multiple vehicle functions. Growing ADAS integration and sensor-fusion requirements are increasing demand for ECUs with greater processing capability, functional safety, and low-latency control. The transition toward software-defined vehicles is also raising ECU content through OTA updates, service-oriented software, and reusable computing platforms. At the same time, increasing vehicle electrification is expanding demand for dedicated powertrain, battery management, thermal management, and charging-control ECUs. The adoption of Automotive Ethernet and high-speed in-vehicle networks is further increasing the technical value of gateway and zonal controllers. AI-enabled vehicle functions and generative-AI-based cockpit and ADAS applications are expected to further increase demand for high-performance edge computing and AI-capable automotive processors. Growing cybersecurity, functional-safety, and regulatory requirements are also driving the integration of secure processing, hardware security modules, redundancy, and fail-operational capabilities into ECUs. 

32-bit capacity ECU to hold the largest market share in the automotive ECU market during the forecast period.

ECUs with 32-bit capacity are expected to hold the largest share as they provide the processing capability required across a broad mix of control functions, including body control, braking, steering, powertrain, BMS, motor control, transmission, telematics, infotainment, and digital cockpit applications, while retaining the cost and real-time characteristics required for high-volume vehicle platforms. Demand is increasing as OEMs consolidate functions into integrated controllers, requiring higher CPU performance, larger memory, faster networking, and stronger functional-safety and cybersecurity capabilities without moving every control function to expensive high-performance SoCs. For instance, in March 2026, Renesas introduced the 28 nm 32-bit RH850/U2C, targeting chassis and safety systems, BMS, body control, lighting, motor control, and other ASIL-D applications, with improved connectivity, security, and lower power consumption. Infineon also expanded its 32-bit AURIX TC3x family in March 2026 with a 400 MHz option, allowing powertrain, chassis, zone, and domain ECUs to accommodate higher software complexity without changing the underlying ECU platform. This combination of wider application coverage, platform reuse, real-time control, and increasing compute and networking requirements is strengthening the role of 32-bit ECUs as the core processing layer between conventional low-end controllers and high-performance centralized vehicle computers.

Infotainment and communication systems are expected to hold the largest share in the automotive ECU market during the forecast period as OEMs shift cockpit electronics from dedicated infotainment controllers to high-performance, software-defined platforms integrating AI, connectivity, navigation, applications, and vehicle functions. The rising use of AI-enabled voice interfaces, app ecosystems, continuous OTA updates, and cloud-connected services is increasing the compute and software content of infotainment ECUs, while the need to process high-bandwidth data from cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, UWB, GNSS, and vehicle networks is pushing OEMs toward more integrated communication architectures. For instance, in April 2026, Hyundai Motor Group introduced Pleos Connect, combining AI-based Gleo, navigation, an open app ecosystem, and continuous OTA updates, with a target deployment of approximately 20 million vehicles by 2030. Further, in May 2026, GM introduced its integrated Connectivity Hub Module (CHM), consolidating cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE, UWB, and GNSS connectivity while supporting high-bandwidth infotainment and OTA functions, indicating a move away from conventional TCU architectures. These developments are driving the segment toward centralized cockpit compute, integrated connectivity modules, AI acceleration, and software-upgradable architectures, increasing the value of infotainment and communication ECUs relative to conventional function-specific controllers.

North America is estimated to hold a significant share of the automotive ECU market during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to hold a significant share of the automotive ECU market during the forecast period. The region is seeing a structural shift toward centralized and zonal E/E architectures, with major OEMs redesigning ECU configurations to support higher computing loads, faster networking, and software-defined functions. For instance, in April 2026, Ford Motor Company (US) highlighted its Universal EV platform’s fully zonal architecture, which consolidates vehicle functions into fewer modules and uses higher-speed Ethernet for distributed edge computing. In May 2026, General Motors (US) also introduced its integrated Connectivity Hub Module (CHM), which combines multiple wireless interfaces and connectivity electronics to support its next-generation software-defined architecture and reduce wiring complexity. GM is also developing a centralized computing platform scheduled for 2028 that consolidates dozens of ECUs and connects propulsion, steering, braking, safety, and infotainment through a high-speed Ethernet backbone across both ICE and electric vehicles. Similarly, increasing deployment of ADAS and automated-driving functions is raising demand for high-performance ECUs capable of real-time sensor processing, vehicle control, and OTA software updates. The US regulatory push for mandatory advanced safety functions is expected to further support ECU demand, with NHTSA’s FMVSS 127 requiring automatic emergency braking and pedestrian AEB on new light vehicles from September 2029, encouraging wider deployment of sensor-based electronic control systems. These developments are shifting regional ECU demand from conventional function-specific controllers toward higher-value central compute, zonal controllers, gateways, and integrated connectivity platforms.
