On June 14, 2019, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Quhuo Investment Limited (“Quhuo BVI”) in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). On June 17, 2019, the Company incorporated another wholly-owned subsidiary, Quhuo Technology Investment (Hong Kong) Limited (“Quhuo HK”) in Hong Kong. On July 31, 2019, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Quhuo Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”) in the PRC.
On August 23, 2019 (the “Restructuring Date”), the Company obtained control of Beijing Quhuo through a series of contractual agreements among WFOE, the VIE, and the VIE’s registered shareholders (the “VIE Agreements”).

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and the subsidiaries of the VIE. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates and assumptions reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable, useful lives of property, equipment and intangible assets, incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) applied in lease liabilities, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Company, Quhuo BVI, Quhuo HK and Quhuo International is the United States Dollars (“US$”). The functional currency of WFOE, the VIE and subsidiaries of the VIE located in the PRC is Renminbi (“RMB”). The Company uses the RMB as its reporting currency.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses resulting from remeasurement are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
The Company uses the average exchange rate for the period and the exchange rate at the balance sheet date to translate the operating results and financial position, respectively. Translation differences are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity.
Convenience translation
Amounts in US$ are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of US$1.00 to RMB7.1636 on June 30, 2025 in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at such rate.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on hand, demand deposits and time deposits which are highly liquid. The Company considers highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and with original maturities from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.
Restricted cash mainly represents cash reserved in a bank account for legal liability.
Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses
Accounts receivable represent the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, netting of provision of credit losses. The Company’s accounts receivable are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. The Company has identified the relevant risk characteristics of accounts receivable which include size, type of the services or the products the Company provides, or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools. For each pool, the Company considers the historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions, supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and any recoveries in assessing the life - time expected credit losses. Additionally, external data and macroeconomic factors are also considered. This is assessed at each half year based on the Company’s specific facts and circumstances.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair value measurements
The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (‘‘ASC 820’’), in measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement.
ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2-Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3-Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, other receivables, operating lease liabilities, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, accruals and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of other receivables, accounts payable, accruals and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturity.
Impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing their carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets when the market prices are not readily available. The Company recorded nil impairment charges related to long-lived assets other than goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025.
Leases
The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Group to not reassess 1) whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, 2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date and 3) initial direct costs for existing leases as of the adoption date. The Company also made an accounting policy election to exempt short-term leases of 12 months or less from balance sheet recognition requirements associated with the new standard. The Company will recognize fixed rental payments for these short-term leases as a straight-line expense over the lease term.

(Amounts in thousands of Renminbi (“RMB”) and U.S. dollars (“US$”),

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Leases (continued)
The Company leases offices and service stations to support its on-demand delivery solution services and leases vehicles to individual drivers for ride-hailing solution services. The Company classifies these leases as operating leases in accordance with ASC 842-10-25-2. The Company records an operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The Company excludes variable lease payments not dependent on an index or rate from the ROU asset and lease liability calculations and recognize such amounts as expense in the period which it incurs the obligation for those. As the rate implicit in the Company’s leases are not readily available, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis, the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term and in a similar economic environment. ROU assets include any lease prepayments and are reduced by lease incentives. The Company recognize operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease terms are based on the non-cancelable term of the lease and may contain options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise.
Income taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (‘‘ASC 740’’). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax rate.
The Company accounted for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Interest and penalties arising from underpayment of income taxes shall be computed in accordance with the applicable PRC tax law. The amount of interest expense is computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest and penalties recognized in accordance with ASC 740 are classified in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as income tax expense.
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, the Company recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if a tax return position or future tax position is “more likely than not” to prevail based on the facts and technical merits of the position. Tax positions that meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company’s estimated liability for unrecognized tax benefits, if any, will be recorded in the “other non-current liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and is periodically assessed for adequacy and may be affected by changing interpretations of laws, rulings by tax authorities, changes and/or developments with respect to tax audits, and expiration of the statute of limitations. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Company’s estimates. As each audit is concluded, adjustments, if any, are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, in future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require the Company to adjust the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recognized in the period in which the changes occur.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Segment reporting
In accordance with ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting: Overall, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (‘‘CODM’’) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.
In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands public entities’ segment disclosures, among others, requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; an amount and description of its composition for other segment items; and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer who reviews financial information of operating segments based on US GAAP amounts when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, the Company identified three operating segments, including (i) on-demand delivery solutions, (ii) mobility service solutions, and (iii) housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services. The Company identified on-demand delivery solutions as one reportable segment. Mobility service solutions, and housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services individually did not exceed the 10% quantitative threshold and as a result, were included in others segment.
The Company primarily operates in the PRC and substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the PRC.
The Company’s CODM makes decisions on resource allocation, evaluates operating performance, and monitors budget versus actual results using net income. There is no reconciling items or adjustments between segment income and net income as presented in the Company’s statements of comprehensive loss. The CODM does not review assets in evaluating the segment results and therefore such information is not presented.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The Update requires that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company may apply the amendments prospectively or may elect retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from the adoption of this ASU and does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”. The amendments in this update intend to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development). ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, statements of comprehensive income and cash flows.

9.Income Taxes
The Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and conducts its primary business operations through subsidiaries and VIEs in the PRC. It also has intermediate holding companies in the BVI and Hong Kong. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands and BVI, the Company is not subject to tax on income nor capital gains. Additionally, upon payments of dividends by the Company to its shareholders, neither Cayman Islands nor BVI will impose withholding taxes. Under the Hong Kong tax laws, subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the Hong Kong corporate income tax rate at 16.5% exempting foreign-derived income, and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.
The Company’s subsidiaries, VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries in the PRC are subject to the statutory rate of 25%, in accordance with the Enterprise Income Tax law (the “EIT Law”), which was effective since January 1, 2008 except for the following entities eligible for preferential tax rates. For qualified small and micro-sized enterprise. From January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2027, 25% of the first RMB 3.0 million of the assessable profit before tax is subject to the tax rate of 20%. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, some PRC subsidiaries are qualified small and micro-sized enterprise as defined, and thus are eligible for the above preferential tax rates for small and micro-sized enterprise. Hainan Quhuo, Hainan Xinying and Haikou Chengtu are enterprises registered in the Hainan free trade port and engaged in substantial business in encouraged industries and are therefore entitled to preferential tax rate of 15%. Beijing Quhuo, a subsidiary of VIE, was recognized as high and new technology enterprise (“HNTE”) in 2020 and renewed in 2023, thus it is eligible for a preferential tax rate of 15% from 2020 to 2025.
The Company recorded a tax benefit of RMB2,622 and RMB17,902 (US$2,499) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively, primarily due to the reversal of unrecognized tax benefit recognized in previous years that have passed the retroactive period. The income tax is primarily driven by nondeductible share-based compensation expenses and unbenefited losses from continuing operations. Furthermore, the Company’s effective tax rates from operations were (5%) and (25%) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Changes in various permanent differences relative to our pre-tax loss from operations had a favorable impact on the effective tax rate for the first six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period prior year.
10.Loss Per Share
The rights of the holder of Class A and Class B ordinary shares were identical for all periods presented, except with respect to voting and conversion rights, and therefore, the undistributed earnings were allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders were the same for both Class A and Class B ordinary shares on an individual or combined basis. The following table sets forth the computation of basic net loss per share for the following periods:

For the periods presented herein, the computation of basic loss per share using the two-class method is not applicable as the Company is in a net loss position and the participating securities do not have contractual rights and obligations to share in the losses of the Company. The effects of all outstanding options and other participating securities were also excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effects would be anti-dilutive during the periods.

11.Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be involved in legal proceedings and litigation relating to injuries caused by workforce and labor arbitration cases brought by disgruntled workforce, among others. The Company records a liability when the Company believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. With respect to the Company’s outstanding legal matters, based on its current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

| ● | Revenues from on-demand delivery solutions were RMB1,039.2 million (US$145.1 million), representing a decrease of 30.7% from RMB1,499.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily because we optimized our business by disposing of several underperforming service stations, which led to a decrease in revenue scale. |
| ● | Revenues from mobility service solutions, consisting of shared-bike maintenance, ride-hailing, vehicle export solutions and freight service solutions, were RMB57.4 million (US$8.0 million), representing a decrease of 42.8% from RMB100.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to (i) a decrease in units of vehicles sold in our vehicle export solution business as a result of introduction of new business model and decease in purchase of vehicles for sales, and (ii) the optimization of our business by ceasing from our ride-hailing solutions services in several underperforming service cities. |
| ● | Revenues from housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services were RMB34.8 million (US$4.9 million), representing a sharp increase of 70.8% from RMB20.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the adoption of online promotion channels in addition to traditional platform-based customer acquisition. |
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues was RMB1,127.3 million (US$157.4 million), representing a decrease of 29.3% year-over-year, primarily attributable to the decreases in our labor costs and service fees paid to service station managers, in line with the decrease in revenues.
Gross profit
As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit was RMB 24.8 million and RMB 4.1 million (US$0.6 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Operating expenses
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were RMB76.3 million (US$10.7 million), representing an increase of 7.7% from RMB70.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily attributable to (i) an increase of professional service fees from RMB14.5 million in the first half of 2024 to RMB25.2 million (US$3.5 million) in the first half of 2025, due to the issuance costs for ADSs occurred in the first half of 2025 of RMB9.7 million (US$1.4 million), (ii) an increase of welfare and business development expenses and office expenses from RMB12.4 million in the first half of 2024 to RMB15.1 million (US$2.11 million) in the first half of 2025, resulting from the expansion into new cities for its housekeeping services, and offset by (iii) a decrease of labor costs from RMB 36.6 million in the first half of 2024 to RMB30.6 million (US$4.3 million) in the first half of 2025 as a result of our expense control through technological optimization.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses were RMB3.6 million (US$0.5 million), representing a decrease of 27.3% from RMB4.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in the average compensation for our research and development personnel as we restructured our R&D team.
Gain on disposal of assets, net
We recorded gain on disposal of assets, net of RMB7.0 million and RMB5.7 million (US$0.8 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively, primarily due to the transfer of certain long-term assets to third parties.
Interest expense
Our interest expense remained stable at RMB2.2 million (US$0.3 million) and RMB2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily relating to the stability in our average short-term bank borrowings.
Other income/(loss), net
We recorded other income, net, of RMB1.0 million (US$0.1 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to other loss, net, of RMB3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposal of investment in a mutual fund in second half of 2024.
Income tax benefit
We recorded income tax benefit of RMB17.9 million (US$2.5 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to income tax benefit of RMB2.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the reversal of unrecognized tax benefit recognized in previous years that have passed the retroactive period.
Net loss
As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of RMB53.0 million (US$7.4 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of 14.0%, from RMB46.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
EBITDA loss
EBITDA loss was RMB60.2 million (US$8.4 million), as compared to EBITDA loss of RMB34.8 million in the first half of 2024.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Quhuo uses EBITDA loss as non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. EBITDA loss represents net loss before income tax benefit, amortization, depreciation and interest expense. Quhuo believes that these non-GAAP financial measure help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of income tax benefits or expenses, amortization, depreciation and interest. Quhuo believes that such non-GAAP financial measure also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measure are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss or any other performance measure or as an indicator of Quhuo’s operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measure presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measure differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measure to the Company’s data. Quhuo encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Quhuo mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net loss to EBITDA loss, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash generated from our operations and external financing, including the proceeds from public and private offerings, and loans from commercial banks. As of June 30, 2025, we had RMB33.1 million (US$4.6 million) in cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand, demand deposits and time deposits which are highly liquid. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, the available credit under our existing credit facilities, and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for the next 12 months. We may, however, need additional capital for business expansion in the future.
We conduct our operations primarily through our consolidated VIE and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2025, 74.3% of our cash and cash equivalents were held by the VIE and its subsidiaries and denominated in Renminbi. Although we consolidate the results of the VIE and its subsidiaries, we only have access to the assets and earnings of the VIE and its subsidiaries through our contractual arrangements with the VIE and its nominee shareholders.
We had net loss of RMB46.5 million and negative cash flows from operations of RMB41.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We had net loss of RMB53.0 million (US$7.4 million) and cash outflows from operations of RMB41.3 million (US$5.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025. We had positive working capital, which equals the result of current assets minus current liabilities, of RMB242.0 million and RMB105.1 million (US$14.7 million) as of June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The total outstanding balance of our short-term bank borrowings as of June 30, 2025 was RMB118.3 million (US$16.5 million).
We intend to finance our future working capital requirements and capital expenditures from cash generated from operating activities and financing activities. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including acquisitions or investments we may decide to selectively pursue. If our existing cash resources are insufficient to meet our requirements, we may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issue of additional equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
If we are unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing as required, our business operations and prospects may suffer. The following table sets forth a summary of our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was RMB41.3 million (US$5.8 million), primarily due to a net loss of RMB53.0 million (US$7.4 million), adjusted for (i) certain non-cash items, mainly including amortization of RMB7.6 million (US$1.1 million) and gain on disposals of intangible assets of RMB5.7 million (US$0.8 million) and (ii) changes in certain working capital items that negatively impacted the cash flow from operating activities, mainly including an increase of RMB49.9 million (US$7.0 million) in accounts receivable and a decrease of RMB9.9 million (US$1.4 million) in other non-current liabilities, partially offset by changes in certain working capital items that positively impacted the cash flow from operating activities, mainly including a decrease of RMB38.2 million (US$5.3 million) in other non-current assets and an increase of RMB42.9 million (US$6.0 million) in accounts payable.
Net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2024 was RMB41.5 million (US$5.7 million), primarily due to a net loss of RMB46.5 million (US$6.4 million), adjusted for (i) certain non-cash items, mainly including amortization of RMB9.4 million (US$1.3 million) and changes in fair value of short-term investment of RMB4.5 million (US$0.6 million), and (ii) changes in certain working capital items that negatively impacted the cash flow from operating activities, mainly including a decrease of RMB45.6 million (US$6.3 million) in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, an increase of RMB7.9 million (US$1.1 million) in prepayments and other current assets and a decrease of RMB4.8 million (US$0.7 million) in accounts payable, partially offset by changes in certain working capital items that positively impacted the cash flow from operating activities, mainly including a decrease of RMB32.9 million (US$4.5 million) in accounts receivable and an increase of RMB18.3 million (US$2.5 million) in other non-current liabilities.
Investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was RMB6.9 million (US$1.0 million), primarily due to proceeds from disposals of intangible assets of RMB9.7 million (US$1.4 million), partially offset by acquisition of intangible assets of RMB3.0 million (US$0.4 million)
Net cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2024 was RMB11.1 million (US$1.5 million), primarily due to proceeds from disposals of intangible assets of RMB12.4 million (US$1.7 million), partially offset by acquisition of intangible assets of RMB2.0 million (US$0.3 million).
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was RMB2.6 million (US$0.4 million), primarily due to the proceeds from short-term loans of RMB297.8 million (US$41.6 million), partially offset by repayments of short-term loans of RMB292.4 million (US$40.8 million).
Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2024 was RMB24.6 million (US$3.4 million), primarily due to the proceeds from short-term loans of RMB304.0 million (US$41.8 million), and proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares of RMB14.2 million (US$2.0 million), partially offset by repayments of short-term loans of RMB292.6 million (US$40.3 million).
Capital Expenditures
We made capital expenditures of RMB0.4 million and RMB 0.1 million (US$9,000) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Our capital expenditures were mainly used for purchases of property and equipment, such as vehicles in connection with our ride-hailing solutions and electronic equipment. We will continue to make capital expenditures to support our business operations.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.
Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.
See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Technology” and “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Intellectual Property” in the Annual Report.
Trend Information
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events for the six months ended June 30, 2025 that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our net revenue, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that caused the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial condition.
Critical Accounting Estimate
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets or liabilities in the future.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The management determines there are no critical accounting estimates.
When reading our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, you should consider our selection of critical accounting policies, the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.

Quhuo Reports Unaudited Financial Results for the First Half of
2025
BEIJING, China, Sep 26, 2025 (PRNewswire) -- Quhuo Limited (NASDAQ: QH) (“Quhuo,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”), a leading gig economy platform focusing on local life services in China, today reported its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Financial and Operational Highlights for the First Half of 2025
| ● | Revenues from housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services were RMB34.8 million (US$4.9 million), representing an increase of 70.8% year-over-year. |
| ● | Gross profit of vehicle export solutions was RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 17.8% from RMB2.4 million. |
| ● | Gross profit of housekeeping services and others was RMB8.2 million (US$1.1 million), representing a year-over-year increase of 63.4% from RMB5.0 million. |
| ● | The Company has expanded housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services to 90 cities nationwide, representing a year-over-year increase from 76 cities in the first half of 2024. |
Mr. Leslie Yu, Chairman and CEO of Quhuo, stated, “In the first half of 2025, despite intense competition and structural shifts across China’s local services market, we executed our dual-track strategy of stabilizing core businesses and developing new models aimed at supporting long-term profitability. Our delivery segment maintained resilience through network adjustment, cost management, and selective site consolidation, which we believe will position us for scale-driven benefits ahead.
Our housekeeping and accommodation segment became a stronger profit driver. Chengtu Homestay showcased a replicable model supported by our proprietary booking system, while LaiLai expanded into broader property services through cooperation with KE Holdings, or Beike, a housing transactions and services platform in China.
Internationally, our used vehicle export business progressed beyond traditional sales model toward our ‘technology empowerment and resources cooperation’ model, reflected in our project in Azerbaijan. This model shifts returns from one-time sales margins to recurring service income, which we believe will provide a more sustainable path for global expansion.
Looking forward, we aim to continue refining operations and scaling new business models to support more sustainable shareholder returns and lasting social value.”
Unaudited Financial Results of the First Half of 2025 Compared to the First Half of 2024
Total revenues decreased by 30.2% from RMB1,619.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to RMB1,131.4 million (US$157.9 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to the following reasons.
| ● | Revenues from on-demand delivery solutions were RMB1,039.2 million (US$145.1 million), representing a decrease of 30.7% from RMB1,499.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily because we optimized our business by disposing of several underperforming service stations, which led to a decrease in revenue scale. |
| ● | Revenues from mobility service solutions, consisting of shared-bike maintenance, ride-hailing, vehicle export solutions and freight service solutions, were RMB57.4 million (US$8.0 million), representing a decrease of 42.8% from RMB100.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to (i) a decrease in units of vehicles sold in our vehicle export solution business as a result of introduction of new business model and decease in purchase of vehicles for sales, and (ii) the optimization of our business by ceasing from our ride-hailing solutions services in several underperforming service cities. |
| ● | Revenues from housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services were RMB34.8 million (US$4.9 million), representing a sharp increase of 70.8% from RMB20.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the adoption of online promotion channels in addition to traditional platform-based customer acquisition. |
Cost of revenues was RMB1,127.3 million (US$157.4 million), representing a decrease of 29.3% year-over-year, primarily attributable to the decreases in our labor costs and service fees paid to service station managers, in line with the decrease in revenues.
As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit was RMB 24.8 million and RMB 4.1 million (US$0.6 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
General and administrative expenses were RMB76.3 million (US$10.7 million), representing an increase of 7.7% from RMB70.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily attributable to (i) an increase of professional service fees from RMB14.5 million in the first half of 2024 to RMB25.2 million (US$3.5 million) in the first half of 2025, due to the issuance costs for ADSs occurred in the first half of 2025 of RMB9.7 million (US$1.4 million), (ii) an increase of welfare and business development expenses and office expenses from RMB12.4 million in the first half of 2024 to RMB15.1 million (US$2.11 million) in the first half of 2025, resulting from the expansion into new cities for its housekeeping services, and offset by (iii) a decrease of labor costs from RMB 36.6 million in the first half of 2024 to RMB30.6 million (US$4.3 million) in the first half of 2025 as a result of our expense control through technological optimization.
Research and development expenses were RMB3.6 million (US$0.5 million), representing a decrease of 27.3% from RMB4.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in the average compensation level for our research and development personnel as we restructured our R&D team.
We recorded gain on disposal of assets, net of RMB7.0 million and RMB5.7 million (US$0.8 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively, primarily due to the transfer of certain long-term assets to third parties.
Our interest expense remained stable at RMB2.2 million (US$0.3 million) and RMB2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily relating to the stability in our average short-term bank borrowings.
We recorded other income, net, of RMB1.0 million (US$0.1 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to other loss, net, of RMB3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposal of investment in a mutual fund in the second half of 2024.
We recorded income tax benefit of RMB17.9 million (US$2.5 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to income tax benefit of RMB2.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the reversal of unrecognized tax benefit recognized in previous years that have passed the retroactive period.
As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of RMB53.0 million (US$7.4 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of 14.0%, from RMB46.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
EBITDA loss was RMB60.2 million (US$8.4 million), as compared to EBITDA loss of RMB34.8 million in the first half of 2024.(1)

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
Quhuo has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).
Quhuo uses EBITDA loss as non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. EBITDA loss represents net loss before income tax benefit, amortization, depreciation and interest expense. Quhuo believes that the non-GAAP financial measure help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of income tax benefits or expenses, amortization, depreciation and interest. Quhuo believes that such non-GAAP financial measure also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measure are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss or any other performance measure or as an indicator of Quhuo’s operating performance. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measure presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measure differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measure to the Company’s data. Quhuo encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Quhuo mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net loss to EBITDA loss, respectively.
