Excellent 2025 Q1 Earnings Report
Profitability significantly increased as a result of lower cost structures and operating discipline.

Consistent Cash Flow and Well-Timed Investment
Tuya’s excellent financial position was further reinforced in the first quarter, which saw it generate positive operating cash flow for the eighth consecutive time. The business ended the quarter with a healthy net cash position, which improved its capacity to keep funding Smart Solutions and AI innovation. Even in the face of global macroeconomic uncertainty, Tuya’s leadership stressed that this financial resilience offers a strong basis for long-term development and shareholder value generation.
Growth of the Customer Base and Platform Extension
Tuya reported over 2,800 total customers and 2,000 IoT platform-as-a-service (PaaS) clients during the quarter, demonstrating its ongoing growth in its user base. With 287 premium IoT PaaS clients, who accounted for over 88.7% of IoT PaaS revenue during the previous 12 months, strategic concentration on key accounts produced favorable outcomes.
