Lixiang Education Announces Unaudited Half Year 2026 Financial Results
Lishui, China, September 11, 2026 — Lixiang Education Holding Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: LXEH) (the “Company”), a prestigious private education service provider in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first half year of 2026.
First Half Year 2026 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were RMB15.2 million (US$2.2 million), compared with RMB15.4 million for the same period ended June 30, 2025.
Tuition and accommodation income
Revenue contribution for the period was RMB7.9 million, representing a decrease of RMB1.1 million by 12.8% compared with RMB9.0 million for the same period ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the number of graduates exceeding new student enrolments in an increasingly competitive student recruitment environment.
Sales of meal, uniforms and learning materials
Revenue contribution for the period was RMB1.0 million, compared with RMB0.3 million for the same period in 2025, due to increased canteen revenue at Langfang School following the shift from outsourced to in-house catering operation during the current period.
Healthcare Support Services
Revenue contribution for the period was RMB3.0 million, representing an increase of RMB1.1 million compared with RMB1.9 million for the same period ended June 30, 2025, due to positive outcomes from the new business expansion driven by Hebei Chuangxiang.
Others
Other revenue of RMB3.3 million primarily consisted of course design, development and training in the first half year of 2026 of RMB2.4 million, comprehensive service for flexible employment of RMB0.3 million, rental income of RMB0.5 million from third parties and RMB0.1 million from our related party for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Other revenue of RMB4.2 million primarily consisted of course design, development and training in the first half year of 2025 of RMB2.6 million, comprehensive service for flexible employment of RMB1.1 million, rental income of RMB0.3 million from third parties and RMB0.2 million from our related party for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was RMB12.6 million (US$1.9 million), representing a decrease of RMB7.8 million from RMB20.4 million for the same period ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily attributable to: (i) a decrease of RMB3.4 million in rental costs arising from adjustments to the lease arrangements for Langfang School; (ii) a decrease of RMB2.1 million in labour costs due to cost-control measures including headcount reductions implemented at Langfang School; (iii) a decrease of RMB1.5 million in healthcare service costs, primarily attributable to cost efficiencies achieved through centralized procurement as the scale of the healthcare service business expansion. ; (iv) a decrease of RMB1.4 million in taxes and surcharges .
1
Gross Profit/(Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, gross profit for the first half year of 2026 was RMB2.7 million (US$0.4 million), compared with the gross loss of RMB5.0 million for the same period ended June 30, 2025. The turnaround was mainly attributable to cost-control initiatives implemented at Langfang School, and the business of healthcare service.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the first half year of 2026 were RMB13.0 million (US$1.9 million), compared with RMB10.0 million for the same period ended June 30, 2025.
General and administrative expense for the first half year of 2026 was RMB12.5 million (US$1.8 million), increased by RMB2.9 million compared with RMB9.6 million for the same period ended June 30 2025. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to higher professional services fee.
Selling and marketing expenses for the first half year of 2026 was RMB0.5 million (US$0.1 million), compared with RMB0.4 million for the same period ended June 30, 2025.
Impairment loss on Investments
Impairment loss on investments resulted from our investment in Orientiert XYZ Investment LP. This investment is measured at the fund’s reported net asset value. As the fair value of the investment declined below its carrying amount and such decline was deemed other-than-temporary, we recognised an impairment loss of RMB1.5 million (US$0.2 million) for the first half year of 2026.
Other Income, net
Total net other income for the first half year of 2026 was RMB2.1 million (US$0.3 million), compared with RMB0.8 million for the same period ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the termination of a lease contract by Langfang School.
Net Loss
Net loss for the first half year of 2026 was RMB11.4 million (US$1.7 million), compared with net loss of RMB16.1 million for the same period ended June 30, 2025.
Net Loss Attributed to Ordinary Shares/ADS
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company for the first half year of 2026 were RMB0.01, compared with basic and diluted net loss per share of RMB0.01 for the same period ended June 30, 2025.
Basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributable to ADS holders of the Company for the first half year of 2026 were RMB6.11 compared with basic and diluted net loss per ADS of RMB8.84 for the same period ended June 30, 2025. Net loss per ADS has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split that became effective on April 20, 2026. Following the reverse stock split, the ADS ratio was changed to one (1) ADS representing one thousand (1,000) Class A ordinary shares.
Cash and Working Capital
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had total cash of RMB9.4 million (US$1.4 million), a decrease of RMB3.4 million from RMB12.8 million as of December 31, 2025.
Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of RMB391.9 million and RMB403.2 million (US$59.4 million), respectively, and working capital deficit of RMB90.1 million and RMB84.5 million (US$12.5 million), respectively. These conditions raised substantial doubts about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
2
Historically, we funded our operations primarily through cash generated from our operating activities, bank borrowings, financing from related parties and shareholders, and issuance of ordinary shares. We believe that, without giving effect to our management plans, our current working capital will not be sufficient to support our operations for the next twelve months as of the date of this report, due to our accumulated deficits, and working capital deficiency. We are evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to:
| (i) | seeking to renew or extend existing short-term borrowings; |
| (ii) | pursuing additional financing alternatives, including potential equity financing or strategic investments; and |
| (iii) | focusing on the improvement of operation efficiency, implementation of strict cost control and budget and enhancement of internal controls to create a synergy resources. |
There can be no assurances, however, that our current mitigation plans will be achieved or that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, we could be required to delay our market expansion efforts and limit activities, which could adversely affect our business and the financial statements.
Contingency
On December 18, 2023, Lishui Mengxiang, as applicant, filed an arbitration application against Beijing S.K. and its affiliates, as respondents in relation to the breach of the investment cooperation agreement entered into between the two parties on July 27, 2021 and a series of investment supplemental agreement entered into between the two parties during 2023 and 2024. The main arbitration claim was to request the respondents to pay the contract amount of RMB72.41 million and the liquidated damages of RMB20 million. On April 3, 2025, the Beijing Arbitration Commission rendered a final award granting the applicant’s main arbitration claims. Lishui Mengxiang subsequently applied for compulsory enforcement with the Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court. After exhaustive property searches, only RMB327.9 was recovered. The court issued an order for termination of this enforcement proceeding on June 8, 2026; the claim remains enforceable and may be re-activated if the respondents have available assets in the future. As of the date of this report, Lishui Mengxiang has received the aforementioned amount.
