iHuman authorizes $5.1M special dividend despite annual revenue decline

iHuman (NYSE:IH) reported unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, revealing a cooling in top-line growth even as the company remains profitable and committed to shareholder returns.

The provider of tech-driven educational products posted full-year 2025 revenue of RMB 807 million ($115.4 million), representing a decrease from the RMB 922.2 million recorded in 2024.

The fourth quarter mirrored the annual trend, with revenue landing at RMB 190.7 million ($27.3 million), down from RMB 232.7 million in the same period a year earlier.

Despite the contraction in sales, iHuman maintained a positive bottom line, reporting a full-year net income of RMB 95.4 million ($13.6 million).

In a sign of confidence in its liquidity position, the board of directors approved a special cash dividend of $0.02 per ordinary share, or $0.10 per American Depositary Share (ADS).

The total payout is expected to be approximately $5.1 million and is scheduled for distribution in May 2026.

User engagement also remained a core metric for the firm, with average total monthly active users (MAUs) reaching 24.98 million for the full year 2025.
