Chengdu, China, April 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JIADE LIMITED (Nasdaq: JDZG) ("JIADE" or the "Company"), a provider of one-stop comprehensive education support services for adult education institutions through its subsidiaries in the People's Republic of China, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Highlights
- Total revenue increased 37% year-over-year to RMB 25.70 million (US$3.67 million).
- Newly acquired subsidiaries providing safety technology training services generated RMB 8.42 million in combined new revenue.
- Gross profit was RMB 11.66 million (US$1.67 million) for the year.
- Cash and cash equivalents grew over 400% from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB 19.77 million (US$2.83 million).
"Fiscal year 2025 was a pivotal year for JIADE as we expanded our footprint beyond traditional adult education into the safety technology training market," said Yuan Li, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Co-Chief Executive Officer. "While this strategic pivot drove significant top-line growth, the substantial upfront investments required to capture this new market share resulted in a net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. We made necessary near-term investments across all operating categories, including heavy marketing spend on emerging platforms to build critical business relationships, and increased administrative costs to recruit specialized management for our new safety technology division. We also expanded our research and development capabilities to maintain our technological edge."
"Having entered this new sector, we are now transitioning the Company from pure scale expansion to a dual-driven model of scale and efficiency. To optimize service costs, we are integrating AI and automation into our proprietary management systems. This shifts our operations from a labor-intensive model to a technology-driven one, as we endeavor to reduce manual and offline venue costs while streamlining operations through a tiered customer service system."
"Furthermore, we are restructuring our human resources framework by replacing inefficient spending with targeted incentives and long-term equity options, which is expected to align employee interests with company growth while managing short-term cash outflows. To rein in selling and administrative expenses, we are pivoting from broad marketing campaigns to precision, data-driven targeting with strict return-on-investment tracking. We are also prioritizing our internal legal, financial, and management teams over external consultants, and anticipate enforcing structured pricing agreements only when outside expertise is strictly necessary."
"We do not expect these cost-control measures to compromise our core business development or service quality. By digitally tracking our expenses and adhering strictly to compliance standards, we anticipate that these efficiency enhancements will right-size our cost structure and yield steady margin improvements as we capitalize on our expanded operational scale."
Full Year 2025 Results of Operations
Revenues
The Company operated across four business segments, including its core one-stop comprehensive adult education supporting services, and three newly launched businesses that provide safety technology training services and online course services, and sell customized equipment. Total revenue increased by approximately RMB 6.96 million, or 37%, to RMB 25.70 million (US$3.67 million) for the year ended December 31, 2025, from RMB 18.74 million in 2024. This growth was primarily driven by the integration of newly acquired subsidiaries that launched safety technology training services, generating RMB 8.42 million (US$1.20 million) in new revenue. This growth was further supplemented by RMB 0.41 million (US$59,000) from online course services and RMB 0.23 million (US$33,000) from the sale of customized training equipment.
Of the total revenue, revenue from adult education supporting services, accounting for 64%, decreased by 11% from 18.74 million in the year ended December 31, 2024 to 16.64 million in the year ended December 31, 2025.
Across the four business the segments, the Company served 23,205 students that took the National Unified Examination for College Admissions for Adults, 28,240 students enrolled with the Open University of China, and 16,078 students that were preparing for the Self-taught Higher Education Examinations, and the Company provided safety technology training services for both theoretical instruction and practical training components to 16,298 individuals and online courses services to 88,055 individuals for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Gross Profit

Direct costs of revenue increased to RMB 14.05 million (US$2.01 million), primarily due to strategic investments in enhanced customer support, pre-enrollment services, and increased outsourced training fees related to the new safety technology operations.
Other costs
The Company invested in its operational infrastructure, marketing, and technological capabilities to support its expansion in the year ended December 31, 2025, which resulted in the following:
- Selling Expenses grew to RMB 4.10 million (US$586,000) in 2025 from RMB 0.53 million in 2024, driven by increased investments in social media, emerging promotional platforms, and client engagement activities to build the new business lines.
- General and Administrative Expenses increased to RMB 17.64 million (US$2.52 million) in 2025 from RMB 5.45 million in 2024, primarily attributable to the recruitment of additional personnel for the new safety technology training services, increased corporate compliance costs, and new office leases.
- Research and Development Expenses increased by 201% to RMB 2.14 million (US$305,000) in 2025 from RMB 0.71 million in 2024, as the Company added staff to its R&D department and expanded its intangible assets to maintain its technology-driven competitive edge.
