HANGZHOU, China: MOGU Inc. (NYSE: MOGU) (“MOGU” or the “Company”), a KOL-driven online fashion and lifestyle destination in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and fiscal year 2026.
Mr. Fan Yiming, Chief Executive Officer of MOGU, commented, "In the second half of the fiscal year 2026, we continued to implement tailored sales incentive strategies to drive promotional activity by our key opinion leaders (KOLs), resulting in a significant increase in live-streaming hours among our streamers. However, the heightened competitive environment among major e-commerce platforms, especially during the peak season in the third quarter, impacted our performance. Gross merchandise value (GMV) decreased by 16.0% year-over-year in the second half of fiscal year 2026 while full-year GMV recorded a modest increase of 0.3%. Total revenues in the second half dropped by 28.5% year-over-year, with a full-year decline of 11.2%. On a brighter note, our MCN business on external platforms, including RedNote, performed well throughout the year, consistently ranking among the top three live-streaming agencies, generating more than RMB350 million in transaction volume and attracting many celebrities and influencers to join with the agency. Looking ahead, we will remain focused on narrowing our losses while actively exploring growth opportunities in new businesses."
“During the second half of fiscal year 2026, our total revenues decreased by 28.5% to RMB56.7 million from the same period of fiscal year 2025, and loss from operations narrowed to RMB40.2 million from RMB59.7 million in the prior-year period. Beyond our continued focus on cost optimization and efficiency improvements over the past six months, we have identified new revenue growth opportunities through our MCN operations on external platforms. For the upcoming fiscal year, we plan to build upon this momentum while steadily narrowing our overall losses,” added Ms. Qi Feng, Financial Controller.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses nonGAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net (loss)/income as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. The presentation of these nonGAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss)/income before interest income, interest expense, fair value changes of crypto assets, gain/(loss) from investments, net, gain on deconsolidation of a subsidiary, income tax expenses, share of results of equity investees, impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and depreciation of property and equipment. The Company defines Adjusted net (loss)/income as net loss excluding fair value changes of crypto assets, gain/(loss) from investments, net, gain on deconsolidation of a subsidiary, impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation expenses, and adjustments for tax effects. See “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and NonGAAP Results” at the end of this press release.
The Company presents these nonGAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the nonGAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding certain expenses, gain/loss and other items that are not expected to result in future cash payments or that are nonrecurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook. The Company also believes that the nonGAAP financial measures could provide further information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.
The nonGAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, these nonGAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the nonGAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. The Company encourages you to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
For more information on the nonGAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and NonGAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
