Monitor the trajectory of gross margin in H2 2026 as YouheHR integration matures and the lower-margin employee management segment continues to dominate the revenue mix. The sharp increase in customer concentration (top 5 customers now 52.7% of revenue) introduces single-client risk that warrants watching in subsequent filings.

Executive Summary
Youlife Group reported H1 2026 unaudited results: revenue surged 114.8% YoY to RMB1,961.9 million, driven by a 122.3% increase in employee management services, including contributions from the January 2026 YouheHR acquisition. However, gross margin compressed from 14.1% to 8.6% due to the lower-margin acquisition mix, operating income fell 33.7% to RMB30.4 million, and net profit declined 19.3% to RMB30.3 million. EPS dropped to RMB0.38 from RMB0.54 on a higher share count. The top-line beat is offset by margin erosion and declining profitability, making the overall read mixed.
