Management Commentary
Fu Sheng, Chief Executive Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: "During the first quarter of 2026, we continued executing our AI and robotics strategy with a disciplined approach. Our robotics and others segment delivered strong year-over-year growth while adjusted operating loss further narrowed, reflecting improving commercial traction and operating efficiency. We also continued advancing EasyClaw, our AI agent platform focused on enterprise productivity scenarios, and introduced other AI Agent products. We believe long-term opportunities in AI will come from practical applications, workflow integration, and real customer value creation. Across the industry, we are seeing growing adoption of AI agents, which is driving demand for AI infrastructure and cloud services. This trend also benefited our services of cloud and AI infrastructure business, which delivered strong year-over-year revenue growth during the quarter. Supported by stable cash flow from our internet services business, we remain focused on disciplined investment, product execution, and building sustainable long-term growth engines."
Thomas Ren, Chief Financial Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: "Starting from the first quarter of 2026, we began reporting our robotics business as a separate segment to present the operating progress of this business. Historical results previously reported under the AI and others segment are now presented as robotics and others, which primarily includes robotics-related products and services, and global enterprise services, which includes advertising agency and services of cloud and AI infrastructure through partnering with global leading cloud service providers. We also maintained a solid balance sheet, ending the quarter with US$ 185.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, supporting our disciplined investment in AI and robotics initiatives over the long term."

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements, including management quotes and business outlook, constitute forward-looking statements under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including but are not limited to the following: Cheetah Mobile's growth strategies; Cheetah Mobile's ability to retain and increase its user base and expand its product and service offerings; Cheetah Mobile's ability to monetize its platform; Cheetah Mobile's future business development, financial condition and results of operations; competition with companies in a number of industries including internet companies that provide online marketing services and internet value-added services; expected changes in Cheetah Mobile's revenues and certain cost or expense items; and general economic and business condition globally and in China. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Cheetah Mobile's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Cheetah Mobile does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including but not limited to:
The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business, as well as impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results".
