Roborock Q1 Revenue and Net Profit Return to Growth

Roborock reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of CNY 4.227 billion, up 23.31% year on year, in its quarterly filing published on April 23. Net profit attributable to shareholders increased 20.83% to CNY 323.20 million.

Profit excluding non-recurring items was CNY 258.89 million, rising 7.08%. That slower increase shows the difference between the headline profit measure and earnings after the specified non-recurring items are removed. The report lists investment-related gains and government support among the items contributing to that reconciliation.

Operating cash flow was negative CNY 393.75 million, compared with negative CNY 42.19 million a year earlier. Roborock attributed the change to the timing of receipts and payments involving contract manufacturers under its resale arrangement, saying that timing did not affect profit. The quarter consequently combined positive accounting earnings with a larger operating cash outflow.

Research and development spending reached CNY 285.54 million, up 7.15%, and represented 6.75% of revenue. The unaudited filing covers January through March 2026. It was released during the same reporting season as the company's 2025 annual report, but the two documents describe different periods and should be compared using their respective revenue, earnings and cash-flow bases.
