Lichen International Limited Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2025

(SeaPRwire) –   XIAMEN, China, April 28, 2026 — Lichen International Limited (Nasdaq: LICN) (referred to as “Lichen International” or “the Company”), a specialized financial and taxation service provider in China, today released its financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue decreased by approximately $19.96 million, or 40.89%, to around $24.52 million, compared to approximately $41.48 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. This decline was primarily driven by intense price competition from an increasing number of consulting service providers that transitioned from bookkeeping agencies.

Net loss rose by about $15.67 million, or 256.00%, to approximately $21.79 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, up from the roughly $6.12 million net loss in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Mr. Ya Li, Chairman of Lichen International, stated: “Over the past two years, we have faced an increasingly fierce market competition landscape: a large number of traditional small-scale financial consulting firms focused on bookkeeping have entered the market with low-price strategies, directly leading to the continuous deterioration of the industry’s competitive environment. Meanwhile, amid the macroeconomic downturn, customers’ payment capacity and willingness have both weakened significantly, further contributing to a drop in the Company’s average customer price.

To proactively respond to market environment changes and break through development bottlenecks, we have been continuously strengthening brand promotion and investing heavily in advertising expenses to boost the popularity of the “Lichen” brand. Additionally, in August 2025, we strategically terminated our education support service operations — shifting our original “education + consulting” business model to a new “service + resources + capital” framework. For emerging industries and high-quality enterprises, the Company no longer limits itself to consulting services; instead, it integrates resources and provides targeted empowerment. We help enterprises achieve rapid growth by offering diversified services such as professional consulting, resource connection, and strategic investment. We are actively expanding Pre-IPO advisory services: we assist listed companies in acquiring high-quality assets and optimizing their business structures, and support potential IPO projects to develop in a standardized manner, ultimately securing reasonable returns through our investment layout.

The Company’s core advantages lie in accurately gaining insight into enterprise fundamentals through in-depth services, precisely analyzing their investment value, and realizing efficient linkage between services and investment.

Over the past two years, the Company has continuously increased investment and deepened R&D in the artificial intelligence (AI) field. We have deeply integrated AI technology with our profound understanding of enterprise needs and industry knowledge, kept pace with industry technological trends, and consistently applied cutting-edge AI technologies like Deekseek and OpenClaw. We are developing several practical tools, including a financial and tax diagnosis system, an enterprise valuation system, and an entrepreneur decision support system. We firmly believe that through continuous in-depth cultivation and investment in the AI field, we will achieve breakthroughs in revenue growth and new customer acquisition, and further consolidate our industry competitiveness.”
