The R&D center includes in-house labs for energy-based devices, injectables, ex vivo and testing. This enables us to thoroughly evaluate products and devices in the market.

    第一季度,我們成立了新氧鳳凰醫療研發與培訓中心以及全國指揮與控制中心,聚焦醫學研究與培訓。研發中心包含能量類設備、注射類產品、離體(ex vivo)及檢測等自建實驗室。這使我們能夠對市場上的產品與設備進行全面評估。

  • As upstream product offerings continue to diversify, this capability keeps us grounded in clinical fundamentals, not marketing claims. We evaluate products based on clinical evidence to determine whether they are safe, effective and appropriate. From these filings, our R&D team develops treatment protocols and SOPs. Meanwhile, the training center is now fully operational. All physicians joining So-Young Clinic must complete intensive comprehensive training at the center and pass all assessments before practicing.

    隨著上游產品供給持續多元化,這一能力讓我們立足於臨床基本面,而非行銷宣稱。我們基於臨床證據評估產品,判斷其是否安全、有效且適用。基於這些資料,我們的研發團隊制定治療方案與 SOP(標準作業程序)。同時,培訓中心現已全面投入運營。所有加入新氧診所的醫師必須在中心完成高強度、全面的培訓並通過全部考核後方可上崗。

    現在轉到我們的供應鏈。我們仍致力於多元化並強化我們的供應鏈。透過多維度、深度的上游合作夥伴關係,我們力求雙贏,同時推動健康產業成長。

  • In April, we announced our partnership with Jinbo Biopharmaceutical through joint development. Both parties will leverage their respective advantage to pool resources and create value. The partnership grants us exclusive rights to Jinbo's new products, ViYme ColPact. On that basis, we launched our Miracle Collagen, offering four scenario anti-aging solutions using recombinant collagen for hair and face. This is our 20th green label product.

    4月,我們宣布透過聯合開發與錦波生物製藥建立合作夥伴關係。雙方將發揮各自優勢,整合資源並創造價值。該合作使我們獲得錦波新產品 ViYme ColPact 的獨家權利。在此基礎上,我們推出了 Miracle Collagen,針對頭髮與臉部,使用重組膠原蛋白提供四種情境的抗老解決方案。這是我們第20款綠標產品。

  • Thank you, Xing, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today. I'm Zhang Sha, Vice President of Finance. I will walk you through our first quarter 2026 financial results. For additional details on our first quarter performance, please refer to the earnings release issued earlier today. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in RMB.

    謝謝你,Xing,也謝謝各位今天參與。我是財務副總裁張莎。我將為大家介紹我們2026年第一季度的財務業績。如需了解第一季度表現的更多細節,請參閱我們今天稍早發布的財報新聞稿。除非另有說明,所有金額均以人民幣計。

  • We started the year off strongly with a robust Q1 performance. Total revenue for the quarter grew 45.6% year-over-year to RMB432.8 million, driven by the -- driven by the sustained growth momentum in our branded aesthetic center business. We are also encouraged that our supply chain is not only supporting our chain operations, but also fueling growth in our upstream supply chain business.

    我們以強勁表現開啟新的一年,第一季度業績穩健。本季度總收入同比增長45.6%至人民幣4.328億元,主要由我們品牌醫美中心業務的持續成長動能所帶動——主要由其所帶動。我們也很受鼓舞的是,我們的供應鏈不僅支撐連鎖營運,也在推動上游供應鏈業務的成長。

  • Let's dive into each business segment. Revenue from aesthetic treatment service increased to RMB282.4 million, up 185.8% year-over-year, and exceeding high end of our guidance for the fourth consecutive quarter. This segment accounted for over 65% of total revenue during the quarter. Its gross margin expanded by 8.4 percentage points year-over-year and 3.3 percentage points quarter-over-quarter.

    下面我們深入看各業務分部。醫美治療服務收入增至人民幣2.824億元,同比增長185.8%,並連續第四個季度超出我們指引區間的上限。該分部在本季度占總收入的65%以上。其毛利率同比提升8.4個百分點,環比提升3.3個百分點。

  • We are pleased to see our core growth driver continue to gain traction in both revenue and profitability as we execute our dual-engine strategy focused on scale and efficiency. As of March 31, we operated 54 So-Young clinics across 16 major cities, reflecting a net addition of five centers during the quarter.

    我們很高興看到,隨著我們執行聚焦規模與效率的雙引擎策略,核心成長驅動因素在收入與盈利能力兩方面持續增強。截至3月31日,我們在16個主要城市運營54家新氧診所,本季度淨新增5家中心。

  • Now breaking down revenue by center phase. Our 20 mature-phase centers generated are RMB150 million revenue or roughly RMB7.5 million per center. Our 23 growth-phase center contributed RMB109.5 million or roughly RMB4.8 million per center. The 11 ramp-up phase center contributed to RMB22.9 million or roughly RMB2.1 million per center. It's worth mentioning that average revenue per center for this in the ramp-up phase saw significant growth, both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter.

    接下來按中心所處階段拆分收入。我們20家成熟期中心合計實現人民幣1.5億元收入,約每家中心人民幣750萬元。我們23家成長期中心貢獻人民幣1.095億元,約每家中心人民幣480萬元。11家爬坡期中心貢獻人民幣2,290萬元,約每家中心人民幣210萬元。值得一提的是,爬坡期中心的單中心平均收入同比與環比均實現顯著增長。

  • They clearly validates how our increasingly standardized operations are effectively (inaudible) team their ramp-up trajectory.

    這清楚驗證了我們日益標準化的營運正在有效地(聽不清)團隊其爬坡軌跡。

  • In the meantime, average revenue per-mature phase center remains solid and well above the level seen in ramp-up and growth-phase centers. In terms of profitability, 41 centers were profitable and 48 centers generated positive operating cash flow during the quarter, reflecting a net addition of [16 and 9] respectively, from last quarter with a robust pipeline steadily transitioning into maturity.

    同時,成熟期中心的單中心平均收入依然穩健,且明顯高於爬坡期與成長期中心的水平。在盈利方面,本季度有41家中心實現盈利,48家中心產生正向經營現金流;較上季度分別淨增加[16家與9家],反映出強勁的儲備管線正穩步轉入成熟期。

  • Alongside our ongoing scale expansion and operation efficiency enhancement, we are confident in our ability to continue driving revenue growth and improving our profitability profile of this segment. Turning to our other segments. Information and Reservation services revenues were RMB80.3 million, down 34% year-over-year, primarily due to a decrease in the number of medical service providers subscribing to our information services. Sales of medical products and maintenance service revenues were RMB57.1 million, up 2.8% year-over-year, driven by an increase in order volume of medical products.

    隨著我們持續擴大規模並提升營運效率,我們有信心繼續推動該分部的收入成長,並改善其盈利能力結構。接下來看其他分部。資訊及預約服務收入為人民幣8,030萬元,同比下降34%,主要由於訂閱我們資訊服務的醫療服務提供者數量減少。醫療產品銷售及維護服務收入為人民幣5,710萬元,同比增長2.8%,主要由醫療產品訂單量增加所帶動。

  • Other service revenues were RMB12.9 million, down 39.3% year-over-year due to lower insurance brokerage revenue. I will now walk you through our financials below revenue in more details. Cost of revenue were RMB251 million, up 65.8% year-over-year, driven primarily by the expansion of our branded aesthetic centers, breaking that down by segment. Cost of aesthetic treatment service was RMB205.8 million, up 156.4% year-over-year. Cost of information and reservation service was RMBwas 6.4 million, down 72.5% year-over-year.

    其他服務收入為人民幣1,290萬元,同比下降39.3%,原因是保險經紀收入降低。下面我將更詳細地介紹收入以下的財務項目。營業成本為人民幣2.51億元,同比增長65.8%,主要由我們品牌醫美中心擴張所帶動;下面按分部拆分。醫美治療服務成本為人民幣2.058億元,同比增長156.4%。資訊及預約服務成本為人民幣640萬元,同比下降72.5%。

  • Cost of medical products sold and maintenance service was RMB30.4 million, down 0.1% year-over-year. Cost of other services was RMB8.4 million, down 51.6% year-over-year. Total operating expenses was RMB239.7 million, up 26.6% year-over-year and more notably growing at a slower pace than total revenues.

    已售醫療產品及維護服務成本為人民幣3,040萬元,同比下降0.1%。其他服務成本為人民幣840萬元,同比下降51.6%。總營運費用為人民幣2.397億元,同比上升26.6%,且增速明顯低於總收入增速。

  • Sales and marketing expenses was RMB130.8 million, up 33.7% year-over-year. The increase was mainly driven by higher branding and user acquisition spending as well as higher payroll costs to support our branded aesthetic centers.

    銷售及行銷費用為人民幣1.308億元,同比上升33.7%。增長主要由更高的品牌建設與用戶獲取投入,以及為支持我們的品牌醫美中心而增加的人員薪酬成本所帶動。

  • G&A expenses were RMB84.5 million, up 42.5% year-over-year, reflecting the continued expansion of branded aesthetic centers. R&D expenses was RMB24.3 million, down 24.2% year-over-year, driven by improved staff efficiency.

    一般及行政費用為人民幣8,450萬元,同比上升42.5%,反映品牌醫美中心的持續擴張。研發費用為人民幣2,430萬元,同比下降24.2%,主要由員工效率提升所驅動。

  • Income tax benefits were RMB0.8 million compared with RMB1.6 million in the prior year period. Net loss attributable to So-Young was RMB49.2 million, compared with RMB33.1 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP net loss attributable to So-Young was RMB46.6 million compared with RMB31.5 million in the prior year period.

    所得稅收益為人民幣80萬元,而上年同期為人民幣160萬元。歸屬於新氧的淨虧損為人民幣4,920萬元,而上年同期為人民幣3,310萬元。歸屬於新氧的非GAAP淨虧損為人民幣4,660萬元,而上年同期為人民幣3,150萬元。

  • Basic and diluted loss per ADS was RMB0.48 compared with RMB0.32 in the primary (sic) [prior] year period. As of March 31, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and term deposits, term deposits and short-term investments totaled RMB880 million, compared with RMB936.4 million as of year-end 2025.

    每股ADS基本及攤薄虧損為人民幣0.48元,而(原文如此)[上]年同期為人民幣0.32元。截至2026年3月31日,我們的現金及現金等價物、受限制現金及定期存款、定期存款及短期投資合計為人民幣8.80億元,而截至2025年末為人民幣9.364億元。

  • The decrease reflects strategic capital allocation to accelerate the expansion of our branded aesthetic center and the next phase of growth.

    該下降反映我們進行策略性資本配置,以加速品牌醫美中心擴張及下一階段成長。

  • Turning to our outlook for Q2. Given our continued confidence in the branded aesthetic center business, we expect aesthetic treatment service revenues to be between RMB307 million and RMB317 million, representing year-over-year growth of 112.6% to 119.5%. Looking at 2026, we are advancing key initiatives across supply chain optimization.

    接下來談談我們對第二季的展望。基於我們對品牌醫美中心業務的持續信心,我們預計醫美治療服務收入介於人民幣3.07億元至3.17億元之間,同比增長112.6%至119.5%。展望2026年,我們正推進供應鏈優化等關鍵舉措。

  • Thank you for taking my question. I'm Jinpeng He from Citic Securities. So I have a question about the medical aesthetics industry. So we are seeing the industry has experienced a slowdown in overall growth and also intensified competition in the past two years. So under this background, what are the development status and consumer characteristics in China's medical aesthetics industry? And looking ahead, what opportunities do you see?

    感謝讓我提問。我是中信證券的何金鵬。我有一個關於醫療美容行業的問題。我們看到過去兩年行業整體增長放緩,競爭也加劇。在這樣的背景下,中國醫美行業的發展現狀與消費者特徵是什麼?展望未來,您看到了哪些機會?

  • So we remain bullish on Light medical aesthetics in China. While the broader market is cooling, structural opportunities remain. As of 2025, China's medical aesthetics market had exceeded RMB317 billion. Light medical aesthetics captured nearly 80% of the market, overtaking surgical treatment as the mainstream choice. This segment also has leading growth potential globally.

    我們仍然看好中國的輕醫美。儘管整體市場降溫,結構性機會依然存在。截至2025年,中國醫美市場規模已超過人民幣3,170億元。輕醫美佔據了近80%的市場份額,超越手術治療成為主流選擇。該細分領域在全球也具備領先的成長潛力。

  • So this internal structural change is driven by evolving consumer habits in the following areas.

    這一內部結構性變化由以下幾方面的消費習慣演進所驅動。

  • First, medical aesthetic consumption is evolving from changing appearance to anti-aging. People now want to look younger, not to become someone else. Second, consumers are becoming more rational. They will pay a premium for better technologies, but not marketing hype.

    第一,醫美消費正從改變外貌轉向抗衰老。人們現在想要看起來更年輕,而不是變成另一個人。第二,消費者正變得更加理性。他們願意為更好的技術支付溢價,但不會為行銷噱頭買單。

  • Third, medical aesthetic is gaining rising popularity. Second and third-tier cities now match first-tier cities in both ARPU and consumer awareness. We believe this new demand is difficult for traditional clinics to meet and stay focused on the affluent with services, prepared card requirements and large single city centers. What's needed is what we offer, convenient, standardized, affordable and premium services through a clinic chain.

    第三,醫美正在變得更普及。二、三線城市在ARPU與消費者認知方面已可與一線城市匹敵。我們認為,這種新需求是傳統診所難以滿足的,因其服務仍聚焦富裕人群,並依賴預付卡要求與單城大型中心。市場需要的是我們所提供的:透過連鎖診所提供便捷、標準化、可負擔且高品質的服務。

  • Overall, the industry has entered a new phase, more device supply, greater price transparency and fiercer yet more mature competition. Upstream supply has been accelerating since 2025, particularly hot categories like PLLA and collagen. We've already seen more than 10 Class III certificate approvals in each category, and we expect more to come, eventually reaching the same level of diversity as anti-aging products. For So-Young, that means more product choices, better procurement costs and enhanced user experience.

    總體而言,行業已進入新階段:設備供給更多、價格透明度更高,競爭更激烈但也更成熟。自2025年起,上游供給加速,尤其是PLLA與膠原蛋白等熱門品類。我們已看到每個品類均有超過10項三類證獲批,且預計還會有更多,最終達到與抗衰產品相同的多樣化水平。對新氧而言,這意味著更多產品選擇、更優採購成本以及更佳用戶體驗。

  • In this environment, medical aesthetic clinics, the key bridge connecting upstream manufacturers and consumers will succeed only if they can deliver effective, affordable, safe and reliable products and services.

    在這樣的環境下,作為連接上游製造商與消費者的關鍵橋樑,醫美機構只有在能夠提供有效、可負擔、安全且可靠的產品與服務時,才能取得成功。

  • In 2026, we expect competition to remain intense across the industry. Weaker players will continue to exit and survivors will need differentiated positioning. In our case, So-Young Clinic is positioned like a Sam's Club of medical aesthetics, known for consistency, affordability and accessibility.

    在2026年,我們預計全行業競爭仍將保持激烈。較弱的參與者將持續退出,存活者需要差異化定位。就我們而言,新氧診所的定位類似醫美界的山姆會員店(Sam's Club),以一致性、可負擔性與可及性著稱。

  • Combined with our established supply chain and diversified customer acquisition channels, this gives us a competitive edge over traditional high-end and single-store private centers. As we scale, our advantage will compound.

    再結合我們既有的供應鏈與多元化獲客渠道,這使我們相較於傳統高端及單店私營中心具備競爭優勢。隨著我們規模擴大,優勢將進一步累積放大。

  • Looking ahead, China's medical aesthetic market is forecast to exceed (inaudible) by 2030, making it the world's most promising market in this industry. We believe the industry's biggest opportunity lies in network expansion through uniform services. China's market capacity can accommodate thousands clinic chain brands. So-Young is confident in becoming one of them.

    展望未來,預計到2030年,中國醫美市場規模將超過(聽不清),成為全球該行業最具前景的市場。我們認為,行業最大的機會在於透過統一服務實現網路擴張。中國市場容量可容納數千個連鎖診所品牌。新氧有信心成為其中之一。

  • Going forward, we will increase ARPU in two ways. First, we will provide dedicated services for core members at Level 3 and above. Through differentiated benefits and personalized services, we will enhance brand value. Combined with curated SKUs, this allows us to meet our users' diverse and evolving light medical aesthetic needs while increasing lifetime value.

    展望未來,我們將透過兩種方式提升 ARPU。第一,我們將為 3 級及以上的核心會員提供專屬服務。透過差異化權益與個人化服務,我們將提升品牌價值。結合精選 SKU,這使我們能在提升終身價值的同時,滿足用戶多元且不斷演進的輕醫美需求。

  • Second, we will continue expanding our mid- to high-end offerings while promoting coordinated diagnosis and bundled complementary treatment solutions. This will meaningfully boost ARPU.

    第二,我們將持續擴充中高端供給,同時推動協同診斷與打包式的互補治療解決方案。這將顯著提升 ARPU。

  • For blockbuster products, popular treatments like Thermage and BBL have been strong drivers of ARPU. New products launched with upstream partners are also gaining traction. Our skin booster series with Xihong Biopharma and collagen products with Jinbo Biopharmaceutical have shown strong market reception and sales momentum. These new products enrich our mid- to high-end product portfolio while also driving (inaudible) behavior and ARPU. They are definitely something to look forward to.

    在爆款產品方面,熱瑪吉(Thermage)與 BBL 等熱門療程一直是 ARPU 的強勁驅動因素。我們與上游合作夥伴共同推出的新產品也正逐步獲得市場認可。我們與西宏生物合作的水光系列,以及與錦波生物製藥合作的膠原蛋白產品,均展現出良好的市場反響與銷售動能。這些新產品不僅豐富了我們的中高端產品組合,也帶動了(聽不清)行為與 ARPU。確實值得期待。

  • It all starts with rigorous hiring and training standards. As China's largest light medical aesthetic chain, So-Young continues to attract high-quality doctors with physician team keeping expanding. We now have about 230 full-time physicians.

    一切始於嚴格的招聘與培訓標準。作為中國最大的輕醫美連鎖機構,新氧持續吸引高品質醫師,醫師團隊也在不斷擴大。我們目前約有 230 名全職醫師。

  • All hires undergo rigorous selecting, and we require every physician to complete theoretical and hands-on training and assessments before practicing. As mentioned in our remarks, our physician training center and R&D center at Beijing headquarters are now up and running. These facilities further strengthen our already high standards for skills and treatment consistency across our network.

    所有新聘人員都需經過嚴格篩選,我們要求每位醫師在執業前完成理論與實操培訓及考核。如我們在發言中提到的,我們位於北京總部的醫師培訓中心與研發中心現已投入運營。這些設施進一步強化了我們在全網絡範圍內對技能水準與治療一致性的高標準要求。

  • In terms of talent retention, we have built a multilayer long-term retention mechanism. Our physician turnover rate is currently in line with the industry average. First, on performance incentives, we offer competitive commission linked to treatment volume to reward high performers.

    在人才留任方面,我們建立了多層次的長期留任機制。目前我們的醫師流失率與行業平均水準一致。第一,在績效激勵方面,我們提供與治療量掛鉤的具競爭力提成,以獎勵高績效者。

  • Second, we designed clear progression path for physicians at different levels. For instance, doctors at PT2 level or above can receive customized training through our deep collaborations with leading partnerships like Allergan. We also help them do professional influence through live streaming visibility and other reputation-building opportunities. Additionally, we have a well-defined promotion ladder from in-clinic physician to regional physicians and ultimately to master group physicians.

    第二,我們為不同層級的醫師設計了清晰的職涯發展路徑。例如,PT2 級及以上的醫師可透過我們與艾爾建(Allergan)等頭部合作夥伴的深度合作,獲得客製化培訓。我們也透過直播曝光等口碑打造機會,協助他們提升專業影響力。此外,我們建立了明確的晉升階梯,從院內醫師到區域醫師,最終到大師組醫師。

  • In parallel, we are rolling out a physician-led policy where doctors are involved from the very first customer visit to provide professional in-person consultations. Under this model, the role of consultant shifts from leading consultation to supporting the doctor in diagnosis and treatment.

    同時,我們正在推行醫師主導政策,讓醫師從客戶首次到店起即參與,提供專業的面對面諮詢。在此模式下,諮詢師的角色將從主導諮詢轉為支持醫師進行診斷與治療。

  • This adjustment highlights the medical nature of our services, which will enhance customer trust and improve conversion. We have piloted this policy in selected clinics. In future, we plan to have 100% new customers consulted by a physician with physician-led consultation gradually expanding to returning customers. Thank you.

    這一調整凸顯了我們服務的醫療屬性,將提升客戶信任並改善轉化率。我們已在部分門店試點該政策。未來,我們計畫讓 100% 的新客由醫師進行諮詢,並逐步將醫師主導諮詢擴展至回訪客戶。謝謝。
