About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has provided non-GAAP information related to income/(loss) from operations, net income/(loss), net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Tuniu Corporation, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and impairment of property and equipment, net. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful for understanding and assessing underlying business performance and operating trends, and management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our financial performance and when planning and forecasting future periods.
This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. Further, this non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. Tuniu encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

DREO Air Intelligence Advances Home Wellness Through AI and Connected Air Comfort
Beyond its latest product innovations, DREO is introducing DREO Air Intelligence, an AI-powered air system designed to make home wellness more adaptive through AI and connected air comfort. Rather than relying solely on preset routines, DREO Air Intelligence combines physical comfort models with internationally recognized PMV/PPD thermal comfort science to understand changing home environments, interpret multiple environmental signals and intelligently coordinate compatible DREO air comfort products. By connecting environmental sensing, intelligent decision-making and device coordination, DREO Air Intelligence enables air products to respond more naturally to people’s changing needs at home.
DREO Air Intelligence is built around three core experiences:
Home Wellness Score: Combines thermal comfort, air quality, rest environment and water-related wellness signals into a single score from 0 to 100, giving users an at-a-glance understanding of their home environment and clear visibility into areas that may need attention. Thermal comfort is evaluated using internationally recognized PMV/PPD models, going beyond raw temperature to estimate how a room actually feels by accounting for humidity, airflow, activity level and clothing factors.Energy Saving Status: Uses AI optimization to intelligently adjust device operation and compare energy consumption with and without AI optimization. Results are presented in terms of electricity saved, estimated cost savings and reduced carbon emissions, making energy efficiency more visible, measurable and easier to understand.Home Air Pilot: Continuously monitors changes in the home environment, analyzes surrounding conditions and intelligently coordinates compatible DREO air comfort products to optimize comfort, air quality and energy efficiency. When the system can make reliable decisions, Home Air Pilot proactively adjusts device operation. When personal preferences are involved, users remain fully in control.
Designed with an open ecosystem in mind, DREO Air Intelligence supports Matter-enabled devices, allowing compatible products to work together more seamlessly across the connected home. As DREO continues to expand its connected ecosystem, DREO Air Intelligence represents the company’s vision for making home wellness more adaptive through AI and connected air comfort.
Next-Generation Heating Technologies Introduce Adaptive Airflow for Home Heating
DREO showcased its latest heating technologies, led by AutoShift™ Technology, a new airflow innovation built around an adaptive lifting structure that automatically raises and lowers the upper air guide to transition between Focused Heating and 360° Whole-Room Heating. By physically changing how warm air is delivered, AutoShift™ enables a single heating system to adapt to different heating scenarios, providing concentrated warmth for personal comfort or balanced heat distribution throughout the room without requiring users to manually switch between different heating modes.
The adaptive lifting structure works together with a newly developed airflow architecture to continuously reshape airflow as it moves, creating two distinct heating experiences within a single system. The result is a more responsive approach to home heating that adapts naturally to different spaces, activities and everyday routines, while maintaining consistent heating performance throughout each transition.
DREO also showcased its latest fanless convection heating technology, extending its heating innovation with a quieter solution designed to deliver more even and longer-lasting warmth through natural heat circulation. Together, these latest heating technologies reflect DREO’s continued focus on advancing airflow innovation to create more adaptive home comfort experiences.
DREO Brings Industry Leaders Together to Explore the Future of Home Wellness
As part of its “AIR, Mastered” showcase at IFA 2026, DREO hosted the IFA Dream Stage panel, “How Air, Connectivity and Intelligence Bridge the Last Mile of Home Wellness,” bringing together leaders from the connectivity, smart home and digital health industries to explore how AI, open ecosystems and intelligent air management can create more adaptive and human-centered home wellness experiences.
Moderated by Anna Heim, Freelance Journalist and Moderator at TechCrunch, the discussion featured Tobin Richardson, President and CEO of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), Martin Müller, Sales Director and General Manager, Europe at DREO, and Spiros Andreou, Head of Global Industry & Technology Partnerships at Polar. Together, the panel explored how the industry can move beyond basic device connectivity toward intelligent systems that better understand home environments, coordinate across devices and respond to people’s everyday needs.
Highlighting DREO’s vision for the future of home wellness, Martin Müller said, “People rarely think about the air around them until something feels wrong. Yet it influences how we sleep, work, recover and live every day. The future of home wellness begins with making air more intelligent.”
The panel also highlighted the importance of open interoperability and cross-industry collaboration in enabling the next generation of connected home experiences. Richardson emphasized that Matter provides a foundation for devices to work together seamlessly, allowing the industry to focus on creating better user experiences rather than simply connecting products. Andreou added that bringing together environmental intelligence and physiological insights creates new opportunities to better understand people’s everyday wellbeing and deliver more personalized home wellness experiences.
The discussion reflects DREO’s continued commitment to working with industry partners to advance a more open, intelligent and connected future for home wellness.
