Ruanyun (RYET) Guides H1 Fiscal 2027 Revenue to $9.3M-$9.5M

Ruanyun Edai Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: RYET) announced on Oct. 2, 2026 that it expects preliminary unaudited revenue of approximately US$9.3 million to US$9.5 million (RMB63.0 million to RMB64.5 million) for the six months ended Sept. 30, 2026, the first half of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. That compares with roughly US$0.37 million (RMB2.6 million) in the same period a year earlier, an increase of about US$8.9 million to US$9.1 million.

Context — Why the Half-Year Guide Tops Two Full Years

The company said the expected first-half figure exceeds its own reported full-year revenue for each of the past two fiscal years. Ruanyun booked US$7.48 million in fiscal 2026 and US$6.69 million in fiscal 2025. The new guide also lands above double the US$4.11 million (RMB29.6 million) the company recorded in the first half of fiscal 2025.

The catalyst is the Smart Campus Services business, launched in September 2025. It did not exist in the year-earlier comparison period, which is why the base of US$0.37 million is so small. Campus services now span campus operations and student-life services, including food-service management, merchant settlement and dormitory utilities.

That business follows the academic calendar. The company said most of its revenue is earned in the spring semester months, with reduced activity during the July to August university summer break. New projects typically begin in October, are set up in November, and move through government procurement from around December, with services starting during the semester.

The result is a revenue line that varies significantly within a single fiscal year. The first-half figure therefore captures the spring semester, the strongest part of that cycle, rather than a run-rate a reader can annualise.

Ruanyun is presenting its group businesses under the Formind Group identity as part of a strategy spanning AI education, language learning, institutional education support and global technology initiatives. The company is an AI-driven education technology firm focused on intelligent content recognition, automated assessment and next-generation learning systems.

Data — What the Numbers Show

The composition of the US$9.3 million to US$9.5 million guide matters more than the headline range. Campus services are expected to contribute roughly US$5.0 million to US$5.2 million (RMB34.0 million to RMB35.5 million), or about 53% to 56% of total revenue.

Revenue excluding campus services is expected at approximately US$4.2 million to US$4.4 million (RMB28.5 million to RMB29.5 million). Within that, smart-campus infrastructure is guided to about US$2.4 million to US$2.5 million (RMB16.0 million to RMB16.6 million), driven by project deliveries. AI application revenue is expected at roughly US$0.4 million to US$0.5 million (RMB2.9 million to RMB3.1 million).

The table below sets the guide against the company's own disclosed periods.

Period	Revenue
H1 fiscal 2025	US$4.11M
H1 fiscal 2026	US$0.37M
FY2025 (full year)	US$6.69M
FY2026 (full year)	US$7.48M
H1 fiscal 2027 (guided)	US$9.3M-$9.5M

The infrastructure line rests on named deliveries. These include the integrated YeeZo deployment contract announced Sept. 2, 2026, with a contract value of approximately RMB5.99 million inclusive of VAT, which was delivered and accepted by the customer by Sept. 30, 2026. The company said this revenue is project-based and varies from period to period.

AI application revenue is led by the previously announced Cogni AI and YeeZo applications. The company reports in U.S. dollars and translated the estimated figures at an approximate average rate of RMB6.77 to US$1.00 for the period. Reported amounts will use the rates applied in preparing its interim financial statements and may differ.

Analysis — Calendar Risk Sits Inside the Growth

The headline comparison is flattering, but the structure underneath it is uneven. Campus services at 53% to 56% of revenue ties more than half the top line to a semester schedule, and the company explicitly flagged reduced activity over the July to August break. A first half that captures the spring semester is not a template for the second.

The infrastructure line carries its own timing risk. Ruanyun's YeeZo contract was delivered and accepted by Sept. 30, 2026, meaning it lands inside this reporting period rather than the next. Project-based revenue that varies period to period can swing the total by a meaningful share of the guided range.

International work is not yet a revenue contributor. The company said its Formind initiatives are at an early stage and are not expected to represent a material part of first-half revenue. Those include a HanLink pilot with the Center on Chinese Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, a first Formind Global agreement with City University Malaysia, and a Saudi-China collaboration with a three-year framework memorandum of understanding with Intersect Holding and Nanchang Institute of Science and Technology.

One limitation deserves weight. The figures are preliminary, unaudited and prepared by management from internal accounts. Ruanyun's independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed procedures on them. Final results may differ materially from period-end adjustments, including revenue recognition, principal-versus-agent assessments, cut-off, consolidation, intercompany eliminations and currency translation.

The company is also reporting revenue only, with no profit, margin, cash flow or balance-sheet information. Growth in the top line says nothing about whether the campus services business is profitable at these volumes. The company previously disclosed Smart Campus operating revenue for April and May 2026, a non-GAAP management measure that differs from the figures in this update and is not directly comparable.

Outlook — What to Watch Next

The near-term catalyst is the full interim report. The company said the preliminary figures are subject to completion of its financial closing procedures for the six months ended Sept. 30, 2026 and review by its independent registered public accounting firm. That filing will show whether the guided range holds and whether the accounting firm raises any adjustments.

The second catalyst is the campus services project cycle. New projects are initiated in October, set up in November and taken through government procurement from around December, with services generally commencing during the semester. That sequence means the second half will show whether the pipeline refreshes on schedule.

The third is international conversion. The Formind pilots and agreements across the United States, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia are early stage, and the company has not disclosed contract values or revenue timing for any of them. Any movement from pilot to paying engagement would be new information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Ruanyun's first-half revenue so much higher than a year ago?

The year-earlier base was US$0.37 million, recorded before the Smart Campus Services business existed. That unit launched in September 2025 and is expected to contribute roughly US$5.0 million to US$5.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2027. The comparison is therefore between a company with one revenue engine and a company with two.

Does the US$9.3 million to US$9.5 million range mean Ruanyun is profitable?

The company did not say. Its update covers revenue only, and it is not reporting profit, margin, cash flow or balance-sheet information at this time. Investors have no data from this release on whether campus services, food-service management or merchant settlement generate positive margins at current volumes. Those figures would appear in the interim financial statements.

What could cause the final reported figures to differ from the guide?

Ruanyun cited period-end adjustments including revenue recognition, principal-versus-agent assessments, cut-off, consolidation, intercompany eliminations and currency translation. Currency is a live factor: the company translated at an estimated average rate of RMB6.77 to US$1.00, while reported amounts will use the rates applied in preparing its interim financial statements.

Bottom Line

Ruanyun's guide leans on a campus services unit less than a year old, so the half-year figure is a calendar artefact, not a run-rate.
