Huawei rotating chairwoman Meng Wanzhou outlined confidence in the vendor’s strategy despite facing up to an uncertain future, as the company reported 2025 revenue and net profit which it said was in line with forecasts.
In light of looming challenges, Meng said: “We have to remain true to our strategy and maintain our strategic focus. We will translate strategy to execution, keep cultivating the developer ecosystem and pursue high-quality development.”
In the company’s annual report, Meng said 2025 performance remained “steady”, with revenue increasing 2.2 per cent year-on-year to CNY880.9 billion ($126 billion). Net profit reached CNY68 billion, up from CNY62.6 billion.
Breaking out business segments, there were slight gains in ICT Infrastructure and Consumer, growing 2.6 per cent and 1.6 per cent to CNY375 billion and CNY344.5 billion respectively.
Its Intelligent Automative Solution division experienced the strongest growth, up 72.1 per cent to CNY45 billion, while Cloud Computing dropped 3.5 per cent to CNY32.2 billion.
Meng pointed out its connectivity business “weathered the impact of industry investment cycles”, while adding its computing unit was beginning to tap into the AI opportunity.
On consumer, she said it worked to overcome “formidable challenges”, pointing to the HarmonyOS ecosystem which crossed “a new threshold in user experience”.
More than 36 million devices ran HarmonyOS 5 and HarmonyOS 6 at the end of 2025, with more than 10 million developers signed up to the platform, added Huawei.
Patents and R&D
Huawei revealed its R&D expenses totalled CNY192.3 billion, representing 21.8 per cent of total revenue, with 114,000 employees working in the division by the end of 2025.
In total, the company said it has spent CNY1.4 trillion on R&D over the last decade.
This outlay has led to the company holding 165,000 active granted patents, and by the end of 2025 Huawei signed more than 260 licence agreements.
