Viomi Technology declares special dividend despite second-half revenue slump

Viomi Technology (NASDAQ:VIOT), a leading provider of internet-connected home appliances, reported its unaudited financial results for the second half and full year ended December 31, 2025, on Wednesday.

While the company achieved double-digit top-line growth for the full year, a significant slowdown in the latter half of 2025 prompted a cautious outlook from market observers.

Total revenue for the full year 2025 reached RMB2,428.2 million, representing a 14.6% increase compared to the previous year.

However, this growth was largely front-loaded; second-half revenue fell to RMB950.6 million, a 25.9% decline year-over-year.

The cooling demand in the latter six months of the year also weighed on the bottom line.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders for the second half dropped 70.2% to RMB21.2 million, bringing the full-year net income to RMB141.6 million—a slight 1.9% decrease from 2024 levels.

Despite the earnings pressure and a contraction in liquidity—with cash and equivalents declining to RMB806.6 million by year-end—Viomi’s Board of Directors approved a special cash dividend.

The payout is set at US$0.022 per ordinary share, or US$0.066 per American Depositary Share (ADS).

The dividend is payable to shareholders of record as of April 6, 2026, with the ADS distribution expected on or around April 15, 2026.
