Tuniu Posts Modest Q1 Growth and Fifth Straight Quarter of Non‑GAAP Profitability

Tuniu is shifting sales toward live streaming and rolling out AI-driven packaging and premium long‑haul products to respond to rising demand for experiential travel and tighter booking windows.

Overview

  • Tuniu reported Q1 net revenue of RMB132.6 million, a 13% year‑over‑year increase, with GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB0.7 million and non‑GAAP net income of RMB2.6 million.
  • Package tours remained the core business, making up 83% of Q1 revenue, while live streaming grew to contribute more than 20% of total transaction volume.
  • The company achieved non‑GAAP profitability for a fifth consecutive quarter, with that measure excluding share‑based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets to show underlying operating results.
  • Management said it is expanding supplier networks and offline stores and deploying AI and dynamic packaging that can automatically generate destination recommendations and customizable itineraries.
  • Tuniu guided Q2 revenue growth of 0%–5% year‑over‑year and warned that rising airfares and short booking windows limit near‑term visibility and could constrain summer demand despite strategic initiatives.
