Lenovo Group: First Quarter Financial Results 2025/26
HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lenovo Group Limited (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY), together with its subsidiaries ('the Group'), today announced strong first quarter results for the fiscal year 2025/26, reporting significant growth in overall group revenue and profit. Revenue grew 22% year-on-year to US$18.8 billion, with net income up 108% year-on-year to US$505 million. On a non-Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (non-HKFRS [1]) basis, net income grew by 22% year-on-year to US$389 million, adjusted for non-cash fair value gain on warrants [2]. Strong global performance driven by clear hybrid-AI strategy, investment in innovation, and operational excellence Share All main business groups saw solid double-digit year-on-year revenue growth, with the PC business reporting particularly strong numbers following the highest year-on-year revenue growth rate in 15 consecutive quarters and an all-time high market share of 24.6%. The Group's diversified growth engines continue to grow, with non-PC revenue mix up nearly half a point year-on-year to 47%. All sales geographies delivered high to relatively high year-on-year revenue growth. The strong results reinforce Lenovo's ability and commitment to preserve competitiveness, maintain market share, and sustain profitability against the challenging external environment. Three main strategic factors drove the results. First, the Group's firm execution of its hybrid AI vision sees it capitalizing on unprecedented AI opportunities. Second, a commitment to continuous investment in innovation, which saw R&D spending increase over 10% year-on-year, supporting the Group's progress towards long-term goals of building personal and enterprise AI twins. And third, its operational excellence, including a unique ODM+ manufacturing model, a balanced global sales footprint, and a 'Global/Local' model that combines global sourcing and resources with local delivery. The combination of these factors gives the Group maximum flexibility and resilience to navigate through market cycles and geopolitical uncertainties. Looking ahead, Lenovo remains committed to delivering more breakthrough innovations for customers, generating higher returns for its shareholders, and creating lasting value for its stakeholders and communities around the world. Chairman and CEO quote – Yuanqing Yang: 'By leveraging the resilience and flexibility of our supply chain and operational excellence, we overcame challenges brought by tariff volatility and the geopolitical landscape and achieved significant growth in both top and bottom lines. These record Q1 results underscore our ability to deliver on our promise to preserve competitiveness and continuously grow our business. Looking ahead, we will continue to firmly execute our hybrid AI strategy towards the vision of Smarter AI for all, relentlessly drive innovation in personal AI and enterprise AI products and solutions and consistently strengthen our operational competitiveness so that we can realize sustainable growth and profitability improvement.' Financial Highlights: Lenovo management encourages investors, analysts, and the public to focus on its non-HKFRS measures, which exclude the impact of non-cash items related to warrants and convertible bonds as part of Lenovo's strategic collaboration with Alat. Non-HKFRS offers a clearer view of the Group's core operational performance, as the non-cash items related to warrants and notional interest on convertible bonds are expected to persist through the end of fiscal year 2027/2028. Intelligent Devices Group (IDG): Strong growth across the board, leading in personal AI Q1 FY25/26 performance: Overall IDG revenue grew nearly 18% year-on-year to US$13.5 billion, with the PCs and smart devices business delivering 19% year-on-year revenue growth, the fastest pace in 15 quarters. All geographies achieved double-digit year-on-year revenue growth in PCs and smart devices. The PCs and smart devices business maintained its industry-leading profitability with an operating profit of more than 8% thanks to a strong performance from high-margin segments. PC market leadership was further reinforced with a record 24.6% market share, together with an increased lead over the number two player. AI PC penetration accelerated, accounting for more than 30% of all Lenovo PC shipments. Lenovo ranks #1 globally in the Windows AI PC segment with a 31% market share. Smartphone revenue grew over 14% year-on-year to US$2.2 billion, with sales volume outgrowing the market for eight consecutive quarters. In markets outside of China, smartphone market share reached a record high, with the success of the Razr phone seeing Motorola take the #1 position in foldables (flip and fold) with over 50 % market share. Looking ahead, IDG will continue to build agent-native devices of various forms, while enriching the application ecosystem for AI super agent to boost agent user engagement. This will drive toward 'One AI, Multiple Devices', positioning agent-native devices as the entry point for Personal AI. Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG): Sustained high growth, building long-term competitiveness Q1 FY25/26 performance: ISG delivered strong revenue growth of up 36% year-on-year to US$4.3 billion through a strong execution of its CSP (Cloud Service Provider) and E/SMB (Enterprise and SMB) dual strategy. Increasing investments in AI infrastructure and R&D, as well as enhancing E/SMB competitiveness, even as profitability was impacted in the short-term. The AI infrastructure business revenue more than doubled year-on-year with a robust pipeline and a clear product roadmap ahead. Revenue from industry-leading liquid cooling solutions grew 30% year-on-year. Looking ahead, ISG is committed to investing in driving long-term growth and value through strategic market expansion, E/SMB business model transformation, AI infrastructure innovation and product development, to stay ahead of the AI curve and provide differentiated global competitiveness. The Group is confident that ISG will not only sustain mid-to-long-term growth, but also deliver stronger profitability returns.

Operating margin was up 1.2 points year-on-year to over 22% - making SSG the key profit engine for the Group overall, thanks to its sustainable margin expansion. Support Services achieved double-digit year-on-year revenue growth by leveraging strong market demand for hardware and focusing on attaching premium services, e.g., Premium Care and Premier Support Plus. Managed services, and 'as-a-Service' offerings, along with Projects and Solutions grew even faster with TruScale Infrastructure-as-a-service delivering triple-digit growth year-on-year in signings, and TruScale Device-as-a-service seeing double-digit growth for the quarter. Their combined mix increasing three points year-on-year to 58% of SSG's total revenue. AI-driven solutions have gained momentum, especially in manufacturing and supply chain sectors. Looking ahead, Lenovo will further build the Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage framework as its key differentiator and will focus on Digital Workplace Solutions, Hybrid Cloud, and Sustainability solutions, while at the same time building simple and scalable AI-led vertical solutions to solve customers' most significant needs.

[2] Effects of warrant obligations will fluctuate positively or negatively in the coming quarters (through the end of FY27/28), primarily based on share price movements in the quarter. Lenovo encourages the market to focus on its underlying operational performance as reflected by non-HKFRS reporting.

Forward-looking Statements Certain statements included in this press release constitute forward-looking statements or forward-looking information (collectively, 'forward-looking statements') under applicable securities legislation. Such forward-looking statements or information are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements typically contain statements with words such as 'anticipate', 'believe', 'expect', 'plan', 'intend', 'estimate', 'propose', 'project' or similar words, including negatives thereof, suggesting future outcomes or that certain events or conditions 'may' or 'will' occur. These statements are only predictions. Forward-looking statements in this press release include but are not limited to statements with respect to the Company's ability to accelerate automation, optimize costs, and improve scalability in the future, expected margin improvement, the Company's focus and its priorities, the filing of the Financial Information on SEDAR+ and the conference call to discuss the Company's financial results. Forward-looking statements are based on several factors and assumptions which have been used to develop such statements, but which may prove to be incorrect. Although VIQ believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because VIQ can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition to other factors and assumptions which may be identified in this press release, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, recent initiatives, cost savings from workforce and product optimization, cost reductions from the Company's workflow solutions and that sales and prospects may increase revenue. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all factors and assumptions that have been used. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on a number of opinions, assumptions and estimates that while considered reasonable by the Company as of the date of this press release, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the factors described in greater detail in the 'Risk Factors' section of the Company's annual information form and in the Company's other materials filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect the Company; however, these factors should be considered carefully. Such estimates and assumptions may prove to be incorrect or overstated. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release and the Company expressly disclaims any obligations to update or alter such statements, or the factors or assumptions underlying them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Non-IFRS Measures The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures are provided by management to provide additional insight into our performance and financial condition. VIQ believes non-IFRS measures are an important part of the financial reporting process and are useful in communicating information that complements and supplements the consolidated financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss are not measures recognized by IFRS and do not have a standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) as determined in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss please see the Company's MD&A for three and six months ended June 30, 2025. To evaluate the Company's operating performance as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the term 'Adjusted EBITDA' refers to net income (loss) before adjusting earnings for stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, interest expense, accretion, and other financing expense, (gain) loss on revaluation of options, (gain) loss on revaluation of restricted share units, gain (loss) on revaluation of derivative warrant liability, restructuring costs, strategic review costs, loss on modification of debt, impairment of property and equipment, impairment of goodwill and intangibles, other expense (income), foreign exchange (gain) loss, current and deferred income tax expense. We believe that the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are not connected to and do not represent the operating performance of the Company. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed as well as expenses related to stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, impairment of goodwill and intangibles, loss on modification or extinguishment of debt, other expense (income), and foreign exchange (gain) loss. Accordingly, we believe that this measure may also be useful to investors in enhancing their understanding of the Company's operating performance. The term 'adjusted operating loss' refers to net income (loss) excluding the impact of strategic review costs. Management believes it is appropriate to adjust for this item because strategic review costs do not relate to operating activities of the Company and is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities. The presentation of this measure enables investors and analysts to better understand the underlying performance of our business activities. We calculate 'bookings' for a given period as the estimated contract value (for services tied to volume) of our recurring client contracts entered into during the period from (i) new clients and (ii) net upgrades by existing clients within the same workload, plus the actual (not annualized) estimated value of professional services consulting, advisory or project-based orders received, software licenses, subscriptions, SaaS, and hardware during the period.
