Espressif’s total revenue in the ?rst three quarters of 2025 was CNY 1,912.25 million, marking an increase of 30.97%from CNY 1,460.01 million in the ?rst three quarters of 2024. The overall gross margin was 46.17%. Therefore, the netincome attributable to Espressif was CNY 376.76 million, which marked an increase of 50.04% year-on-year, mainlydue to the increase of revenue.Although Q3 revenue declined by 3.05% quarter-on-quarter, it still recorded a solid 23.51% year-on-year increase.This moderation was partly due to China’s Q2 consumption stimulus policies, which may have pulled forward somedownstream demand from Q3. Beyond the smart home, other sectors—including industrial, energy, and healthcare—experienced even faster growth, re?ecting expanding adoption of our wireless SoC solutions in a wider range ofdigitalization scenarios.

Business Model
Espressif has deployed the Business-to-Developer type of marketing, not only because it has gained prominence inrecent years, but also because it has proven to be more effective since the in?uence of developers on organizationsof all sizes has gained traction. In other words, most developers are R&D employees in various companies and bringforth business opportunities from the companies they work for.This way, the developer ecosystem we have created at Espressif demonstrates how the value of networks can growexponentially:
?The more developers we attract as customers, the more hardware and software solutions we generate.?The more successful hardware and software solutions we create, the more our reputation spreads with positivefeedback from happy customers/developers.
?The above-mentioned interaction between people in our network prompts the creation of more content, which -inturn- attracts more users/developers searching for new content.
?Likewise, other third-party development platforms join our ecosystem and bring in new developers, as ourin?uence continues to grow.Having successfully applied the B2D2B model, Espressif can now focus on R&D investments, while maintaining asmall business team that supports a large number of customers directly. In fact, most of our revenue is gainedthrough direct sales.

Competitors
| Competitors | ||
| As the market for AIoT products grows, we face an increasing antagonism from relatively large competitors, such as Realtek, MediaTek, In?neon, NXP, Qualcomm and others.

Suppliers
