Key Points

Positve

ATA Creativity Global (AACG) reported a 7.1% revenue growth for the first nine months of 2025, driven by increased contributions from research-based learning and overseas study counseling.
The company successfully increased project-based program credit hours by 22.9% compared to the third quarter of 2024, indicating strong demand for these offerings.
Operating expenses significantly decreased by 22.4% in the third quarter of 2025, leading to a narrowed operating loss of RMB10.6 million compared to RMB17.6 million in the prior year.
Net income attributed to AACG in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB2.4 million, a significant improvement from a net loss of RMB14.7 million in the previous year, primarily due to a one-time gain from a previous investment.
AACG is on track to achieve total net revenues of between RMB276 million to RMB281 million for the full year 2025, representing a year-over-year increase of around 3 to 5%.

Negative

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2025 decreased to 39.2% from 44.6% in the prior year, affected by higher costs related to research-based learning services and part-time teacher costs.
Total student enrollment for the third quarter of 2025 decreased to 1,052 from 1,289 in the prior year period, indicating a decline in demand.
The company's gross profit margin for the first nine months of 2025 decreased to 44.7% from 46.4% in the same period of 2024, partially offset by increased outsourcing costs.
Despite revenue growth, AACG's total operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues remained high at 54.9% during the third quarter of 2025.
The company faces challenges in maintaining student enrollment levels, as evidenced by the decrease in portfolio training student enrollment for the third quarter of 2025.
