==========================================================================

It seems like there has been a significant shift in the financial performance of So-Young International Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2024. Notably, the company experienced a considerable decrease in total revenue, dropping by 5.5% year over year to RMB 369.2 million. This decline in revenue is paired with a stark contrast in profitability, where the company reported a substantial net loss of RMB 607.6 million, compared to a net income of RMB 17.5 million in the same period the previous year.

The non-GAAP figures also reflect a downturn, with a non-GAAP net loss of RMB 53.2 million, against a non-GAAP net income of RMB 35.7 million in the prior year. This points to underlying issues that have affected the company's financial health beyond standard accounting measures.

Despite the overall revenue decline, the Aesthetic Treatment Services segment of So-Young International saw an impressive surge in revenue, increasing by 701.6% year over year to RMB 81.3 million. This growth could suggest a successful pivot or expansion in this particular area of the business.

However, the financial strain is evident in the significant rise in total operating expenses, which escalated by 216.2% to RMB 815.2 million. A notable part of these expenses includes an impairment of goodwill amounting to RMB 540 million, which indicates a significant devaluation of assets or goodwill associated
