Written by Heidi Cuthbert Published Jun. 5 2026Last Updated Jun. 5 2026

Tuniu (NASDAQ:TOUR) today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2026, demonstrating steady growth in its core leisure travel business.

The company reported net revenues of RMB132.6 million, an increase of 12.8% compared to the same period in 2025.

This performance marks the company’s fifth consecutive quarter of non-GAAP profitability, signaling a continued stabilization of its financial footing.

The revenue growth was driven largely by strong performance in the packaged tour segment, which rose 10.8% year-over-year to RMB109.7 million, alongside a 23.5% surge in "other revenues," primarily attributed to increased advertising fees collected from tourism boards and bureaus.

Gross profit for the quarter reached RMB73.6 million, representing a 6.1% increase over the prior year.

Operating efficiencies remained a central theme for the quarter, with the company’s operating loss narrowing to RMB3.7 million.

On the bottom line, Tuniu achieved a GAAP net income of RMB0.2 million and a non-GAAP net income of RMB2.2 million.

The company maintains a healthy liquidity position, reporting cash, cash equivalents, investments, and deposits totaling RMB1 billion as of March 31, 2026.

In addition to its operational performance, Tuniu has been active in capital management.

Following a board-authorized shareholder return plan, the company has repurchased approximately 0.6 million American Depositary Shares (ADSs) for a total consideration of US$4.9 million.

Furthermore, as part of a strategic move to optimize its capital structure and regain Nasdaq compliance, Tuniu successfully implemented a change to its ADS ratio on April 22, 2026, shifting from 1 ADS representing 3 Class A shares to 1 ADS representing 30 Class A shares.

Looking ahead, the company has issued revenue guidance for the second quarter of 2026, projecting net revenues between RMB134.9 million and RMB141.6 million, which implies flat to 5% year-over-year growth.
