SenseTime posts first IFRS profit of 617 million yuan since IPO
SenseTime-W (0020.HK) reported an IFRS net profit of RMB 617.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, the first time the artificial intelligence company has recorded a profit under international financial reporting standards since its Hong Kong listing in 2021.
Revenue rose 23.4 percent year on year to RMB 2.911 billion, while gross profit climbed 32.9 percent to RMB 1.206 billion, according to the interim results released Aug. 26. On a non-IFRS basis, the adjusted net loss narrowed 67.3 percent to RMB 386 million, reflecting tighter cost control across the group's generative AI and smart-city businesses.
The swing to profitability follows a year of restructuring in which SenseTime cut headcount and focused capital spending on its large language models and AI infrastructure. The company did not disclose an interim dividend or provide full-year guidance in the release.
The milestone gives SenseTime a clearer path to sustained profitability as it competes with Alibaba-backed and Baidu-backed AI rivals in China's crowded model market. Investors will watch the company's next earnings call for updated segment margins and any signal on capital expenditure for its computing clusters, which have weighed on cash flow in prior periods.
