Please go ahead, Mr. Ma.
Thank you, Alice, and welcome everyone. Good evening to those in America. We appreciate everyone's time. As Alice mentioned, please refer to our earnings deck available on the IR site of our website as we go through our prepared remarks. As we have discussed in previous quarters, 2025 overall student demand normalized following the surge of student enrollment in the previous year. We report lower total revenues during fourth quarter 2025 as compared to the same period of last year. Revenues from research-based learning and other educational services increased year-over-year, primarily as we hosted more projects and provided more service to institutional partners. In fourth quarter 2025, due to cost-saving initiatives we have been implementing and resulting streamlined operations compared to fourth quarter 2024.
We reported 15.7% lower operating expenses, including a one-time goodwill impairment charge in quarter four, 2025. For fiscal year 2025, despite overall normalized market demand, total revenues were stable, supported by our core portfolio training service and increased contribution from research-based learning, overseas study counseling, and other educational services. Full year 2025 was also marked by lower operating expenses as compared to full year 2024. During fourth quarter 2025, our main revenue contributor remained the portfolio training service, accounting for 68.8% of total net revenues. Project-based programs have become the dominant choice for our students, accounting for 74.9% of total credit hours delivered. That's 66.8% in fourth quarter 2024.
Revenues from research-based learning and overseas studies counseling increased by 4.6% during fourth quarter 2025 as a result of more service delivery for in-school art classes in partnership with schools. During fourth quarter 2025, our highly diversified research-based learning services continued to gain student interest, especially during the winter vacation, when students have the time to participate in more intensive projects either in person or online. As usual, in addition to our Open Hack Shanghai Fashion Week project, we hosted 10 online master classes covering a wide array of art topics given by lecturers from top universities including Carnegie Mellon University, Harvard University, as well as University of the Arts London, Royal College of Art. We also made continuous investments to ensure ACG students have access to world-class educational infrastructure and academic resources when preparing for overseas study journeys.
In October, we hosted the 2025 ACG Expert Tour in several cities, bringing academia and industry experts to Shanghai, Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Suzhou to sit face to face with over 1,000 students. Experts gave lectures on industrial and academic trends of interdisciplinary design and meeting with leaders with 30 students one-on-one, providing feedback on their artwork and application portfolios and sharing their input in career planning. During quarter four 2025, we established ACG's first music preparatory center in Chengdu, working in exclusive partnership with Leeds Conservatoire, which is the first and only music-focused preparatory center in collaboration with the overseas institute to provide a one-year intensive study program before students head to the U.K. to finish their bachelor degree.
We also implemented a series of service enhancements to our existing ACG Japan Center, which now hosts more master class projects and provide improved class offerings and courses, customization, working in collaboration with more Japanese art schools. Additionally, we began providing services to more institutional partners, contributing to increased revenues from other educational services. With that, I hand over the call to Sima for a detailed overview of our financial and operating results for fourth quarter and the full year 2025.
Thank you, Kevin, and I will start with fourth quarter 2025 key financial metrics. Total net revenue for fourth quarter 2025 was RMB 89.1 million, decreased 11.7% as compared to the fourth quarter 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreased revenue contributions from portfolio training programs and overseas study counselling services, partially offset by increased revenue contributions from research-based learning services and other educational services. Gross profit for fourth quarter 2025 was RMB 30.2 million, compared to RMB 63.7 million in fourth quarter 2024, affected by lower revenues and higher costs of revenues related to research-based learning services, outsourcing costs, and part-time teacher costs. Gross margin was 56.4% during the fourth quarter 2025, compared to 63.1% in the prior year period.
Total operating expenses was RMB 73.3 million in fourth quarter 2025, compared to RMB 46.8 million in fourth quarter 2024, increased primarily as a result of one-time goodwill impairment charge for RMB 33.9 million or $4.8 million recorded in Q4 2025, which was not recorded in Q4 2024, and partially offset by an RMB 7.4 million decrease in sales expenses related to lower headcounts in sales personnel and decreased sales incentives during the period. Excluding the one-time goodwill impairment charge, total operating expenses decreased by 15.7% from fourth quarter 2024, and as a percentage of net revenues, decreased to 44.2% during fourth quarter 2025, compared to 46.3% in the prior year period.
As a result, loss from operations in fourth quarter 2025 was RMB 23 million, compared to income from operations of RMB 17 million in fourth quarter 2024. Net loss attributed to ACG during the fourth quarter 2025 was RMB 26.3 million, compared to the net income attributed to ACG of RMB 13.3 million in the prior year period. For the full year 2025, total net revenue was RMB 268.1 million, flat from prior year period. Revenues were impacted by lower contributions from portfolio training services and offset by increased contributions from research-based learning and overseas study counseling and other educational services.
Gross profit for full year 2025 was RMB 130.3 million, a decrease of 7.8% from RMB 141.3 million in full year 2024. As a result of increased outsourcing costs during the period, gross margin was 48.6% compared to 52.7% in full year 2024. Total operating expenses were RMB 194.6 million in full year 2025, an increase of 5.5% from RMB 184.5 million in full year 2024. Increase in operating expenses during the year was primarily due to a one-time goodwill impairment charge of RMB 33.9 million recorded in Q4 2025.
We were partially offset by our lower operating expenses and an RMB 3.8 million collection of prior impaired loans and other receivables recorded in Q1 2025. Excluding the one-time goodwill impairment charge and the collection of prior impaired loans and other receivables, total operating expense decreased by 10.8% from full year 2024, and as a percentage of net revenues, decreased to 61.3% from 68.8% in the prior year period. We recorded an RMB 7.3 million decrease in sales expenses.
As a result of lower headcounts in sales personnel and decreased sales incentives compared to full year 2024. An RMB 2.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, mainly as a result of decreased administrative personnel expenses and a decrease in amortization expenses related to purchase price accounting from a previously completed acquisition, as well as RMB 0.6 million decrease in research and development expenses. As a result, loss from operations in full year 2025 was RMB 4.1 million compared to RMB 43.2 million in full year 2024. Net loss attributed to ACG in full year 2025 was RMB 48 million compared to RMB 36.1 million.
As a result of widened operating loss and was partially offset by a one-time impairment gain from previous investment. Moving to the balance sheet highlights. As of December 31st, 2025, we had RMB 85.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Total assets of RMB 408.3 million. Total liabilities are RMB 336.3 million, and total shareholders' equity of RMB 32 million. Moving on to year-to-date enrollment trends. Starting with student enrollment. For fourth quarter 2025, total student enrollment was 921 compared to 1,038 in prior year period, decreased as a result of normalized demand for our service in 2025. Portfolio training student enrollment for fourth quarter 2025 was 568, and student enrollment for all other programs for fourth quarter 2025 was 353.
Moving on to credit hours delivered. For fourth quarter 2025, total credit hours delivered decreased by 10.5% compared to prior year period. Project-based programs accounting for 74.9% of total credit hours delivered. With that, I will now turn it over to Jun, who will expand upon our long-term business strategy. Jun, please go ahead.

I will now discuss ACG's business strategy in 2026. In 2026 and beyond, our goal is to maintain our leading position in China's creative arts education industry despite increased market competition. On one hand, we believe our competitive advantages are rooted in our skilled and highly experienced teaching team, our strong portfolio of high quality existing and new offerings, as well as an extensive network of global partnerships with leading arts institutions. Our teaching faculty brings together academic excellence and real world industry experience, enabling us to deliver education that is both creative and practical. Meanwhile, our broad institutional collaborations provide students with greater international exposure, enriched learning opportunities, and smoother pathways to top global arts programs. Together, these strengths form the foundation of ACG's sustained leadership and continued growth in the creative education sector.
On the other hand, we plan to continue executing our existing operational initiatives while introducing additional measures aimed at driving cost savings and reducing operating expenses. To that end, we're optimizing our service portfolio and enhancing classroom utilization by expanding online course offerings and increasing student capacity. We're hosting more online classes and accommodating more students, strategically allocating sales and teaching resources to larger campus locations, and consolidating select campuses in less active markets to maximize efficiency. In addition, we're streamlining sales organization and prioritizing cost-effective and proven student acquisition channels. Collectively, this initiative should position us well for an overall improved operational and financial performance in 2026 and beyond. For Q1 2026, we have a strong pipeline of research-based learning projects, highlighted by the Finland Sustainable Design & Art Research Program.
This winter camp offers participating students the opportunity to visit Aalto University in Finland, one of the world's leading institutions in design, architecture, and engineering, and take part in Arctic Center sustainable development workshops to learn about Arctic and Sámi culture and hand-create artworks such as reindeer antler sculptures. Furthermore, in response to multiple contest opportunities our students are interested in, we're hosting the 2026 competition winter camp in January through a hybrid format of online and in-person classes. The camp includes multiple workshops for students with various areas of focus, including fashion design, digital design, future architecture, and more. With customized class offerings and hands-on guidance from ACG teaching staff, students prepare their interdisciplinary portfolios for participation in various international and national competitions and strengthen their application portfolios.
This relevant, well-designed, and carefully delivered project, along with our core portfolio training services that we continue to improve, demonstrate our long-term commitment to delivering state-of-the-art products and services to ACG students as they pursue their aspirations in arts, creative arts. Over the long-term, we remain focused on strengthening our portfolio of existing higher fee and higher margin services while driving innovation and introduction of new services. These efforts, combined with disciplined cost management initiatives, are designed to enhance overall margin improvement and drive results for ACG and our shareholders. Driving positive student outcome has been the center of our business for years.
Through continuous investment in our teaching team and continuous enhancement of our service portfolio, we're able to cater to student populations that covers six major arts disciplines, a wide age range, and those with different backgrounds and knowledge in their respective areas of arts and addressing their evolving needs. We remain dedicated to serving ACG students as they pursue their academic and professional goals in 2026 and beyond. With that, operator, let's open it up for questions.

ATA Creativity Global (NASDAQ:AACG) reported a 7.1% revenue growth for the first nine months of 2025, driven by increased contributions from research-based learning and overseas study counseling. The company successfully increased project-based program credit hours by 22.9% compared to the third quarter of 2024, indicating strong demand for these offerings. Operating expenses significantly decreased by 22.4% in the third quarter of 2025, leading to a narrowed operating loss of RMB10.6 million compared to RMB17.6 million in the prior year. Net income attributed to AACG in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB2.4 million, a significant improvement from a net loss of RMB14.7 million in the previous year, primarily due to a one-time gain from a previous investment. AACG is on track to achieve total net revenues of between RMB276 million to RMB281 million for the full year 2025, representing a year-over-year increase of around 3 to 5%. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2025 decreased to 39.2% from 44.6% in the prior year, affected by higher costs related to research-based learning services and part-time teacher costs.

The company's gross profit margin for the first nine months of 2025 decreased to 44.7% from 46.4% in the same period of 2024, partially offset by increased outsourcing costs. Despite revenue growth, AACG's total operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues remained high at 54.9% during the third quarter of 2025.
