- 天潤雲2026中期業績：AI收入增長133% 第二曲線驅動淨利大增78%香港, 2026年9月1日 - 2026年8月28日，天潤雲（2167.HK）發佈2026年中期業績，2026年上半年收入達2.88億元人民幣（下同），淨利潤達4925.5萬元，同比增長78%；盈利大增的核心驅動，是受AI業務帶動及運營效率提升，公司AI解決方案收入提升至4245萬元，較去年同期增長133.1%，收入貢獻占比超過14.7%。這不是一次性的業績脈衝，而是天潤雲自2025年確立"AI優先"戰略以來，第二增長曲線持續兌現的里程碑節點。從"SaaS工具商"到"AI原生生產力平臺"，天潤雲正以AI為支點，重構整個客戶聯絡行業的價值邏輯與商業範式。 第二曲線爆發：AI解決方案的ARR狂奔 天潤雲的第二曲線，已經不是"初露鋒芒"，而是"全面放量"。 AI產品ARR的快速突破，為2026年中期業績提供了極高的收入可見度。截至2026年6月30日，公司AI解決方案的年度經常性收入（ARR）已達8600萬元，7月底突破1億元，2026年全年該業務的收入增長已具備堅實基礎。 更值得關注的是AI解決方案的占比大幅提升，標誌著增長結構的根本性優化。在客戶聯絡這一垂直賽道，AI相關收入占比接近15%是一個標誌性閾值——它意味著AI不再是SaaS主業的補充，而是成為了獨立的、可規模化的增長極。 支撐這一切的，是天潤雲自研的AI生產力平臺ZENAVA。2026上半年，ZENAVA單日平臺的Token調用量突破300億大關，反映平臺處理AI驅動對話的數量和深度，意味著公司已經具備支撐大規模企業級AI應用的基座能力。平臺在數億次月度交互中積累的閉環決策數據，構成了競爭對手難以通過演算法單獨追趕的數據飛輪。 AI產品的商業化引擎，已經跑通了"調用量攀升→客戶擴購→ARR累積→收入確認"的完整飛輪。2026上半年超過65%的新簽約客戶選擇了公司的AI解決方案，AI解決方案正在從"加分項"變為"必選項"。目前，天潤雲已為超過180家企業客戶交付AI數字員工解決方案，覆蓋服務諮詢、業務辦理、精准營銷、商戶運營、到店預約等端到端業務流程。 商業模式重構：從"賣坐席"到"賣結果"，客戶留存率大幅提升 比收入數字更深刻的，是天潤雲商業模式的底層重構。公司明確表述："我們的商業模式正從傳統的'按坐席訂閱'演進為與可衡量的業務成果（如已完成的工單及交易轉化）掛鉤的結果定價"。這一句話，揭示了天潤雲在AI時代的真正野心。 從坐席訂閱到"流量+結果"定價，是價值捕獲方式的本質躍遷。傳統SaaS按坐席數收費，而天潤雲的AI數字員工，按照處理的對話量、完成的業務筆數、帶來的轉化提升等可量化指標進行定價。這種"流量+結果"的模式帶來三重紅利： 收入彈性打開：客戶業務量越大、AI替代人力越多，天潤雲捕獲的價值就越大，不再受限於坐席數的物理天花板 客戶粘性深化：當定價與業務成果掛鉤，天潤雲的AI產品就與客戶的核心KPI深度綁定，成為"業務夥伴"而非"軟體供應商" 毛利結構改善：2026上半年AI解決方案毛利率達66%，較2025年同期提升2.7個百分點 AI業務的留存品質，遠高於傳統SaaS業務，這是商業模式重構最有力的佐證。2026上半年，天潤雲AI數字員工的客戶留存率高達92.6%，以金額為基礎的淨留存率（NDR）為125.8%。結果定價模式下，AI業務與客戶業務成果深度綁定，客戶一旦體驗到"AI替代人力"的ROI，就會從單點試用走向全鏈路部署——這也正是ARR能夠持續高速累積的根本原因。 例如，中報裏提到某支付行業巨頭，通過50個AI語音智能體承擔了75個傳統人力崗位，實現年度運營成本降低900萬元；另外，某頭部智能門鎖品牌，通過部署AI數字員工實現了AI獨立接待率提升至86%，累計節省了超過50%的人力成本。 寫在最後：從工具到生產力，天潤雲重新定義客戶聯絡 在AI Agent重塑客戶聯絡行業的浪潮中，天潤雲已經佔據了"垂直AI生產力平臺"的有利地形，完成從"工具交付"向"AI生產力"的跨越。當第二曲線的爆發遇上商業模式的重構，天潤雲正在書寫的，是一個關於企業如何借助AI實現客戶聯絡範式飛躍的樣本——而這個故事，才剛剛開始。
- 天润云2026中期业绩：AI收入增长133% 第二曲线驱动净利大增78%香港, 2026年9月1日 - (亚太商讯) - 2026年8月28日，天润云（2167.HK）发布2026年中期业绩，2026年上半年收入达2.88亿元人民币（下同），净利润达4925.5万元，同比增长78%；盈利大增的核心驱动，是受AI业务带动及运营效率提升，公司AI解决方案收入提升至4245万元，较去年同期增长133.1%，收入贡献占比超过14.7%。这不是一次性的业绩脉冲，而是天润云自2025年确立"AI优先"战略以来，第二增长曲线持续兑现的里程碑节点。从"SaaS工具商"到"AI原生生产力平台"，天润云正以AI为支点，重构整个客户联络行业的价值逻辑与商业范式。 第二曲线爆发：AI解决方案的ARR狂奔 天润云的第二曲线，已经不是"初露锋芒"，而是"全面放量"。 AI产品ARR的快速突破，为2026年中期业绩提供了极高的收入可见度。截至2026年6月30日，公司AI解决方案的年度经常性收入（ARR）已达8600万元，7月底突破1亿元，2026年全年该业务的收入增长已具备坚实基础。 更值得关注的是AI解决方案的占比大幅提升，标志着增长结构的根本性优化。在客户联络这一垂直赛道，AI相关收入占比接近15%是一个标志性阈值——它意味着AI不再是SaaS主业的补充，而是成为了独立的、可规模化的增长极。 支撑这一切的，是天润云自研的AI生产力平台ZENAVA。2026上半年，ZENAVA单日平台的Token调用量突破300亿大关，反映平台处理AI驱动对话的数量和深度，意味着公司已经具备支撑大规模企业级AI应用的基座能力。平台在数亿次月度交互中积累的闭环决策数据，构成了竞争对手难以通过算法单独追赶的数据飞轮。 AI产品的商业化引擎，已经跑通了"调用量攀升→客户扩购→ARR累积→收入确认"的完整飞轮。2026上半年超过65%的新签约客户选择了公司的AI解决方案，AI解决方案正在从"加分项"变为"必选项"。目前，天润云已为超过180家企业客户交付AI数字员工解决方案，覆盖服务咨询、业务办理、精准营销、商户运营、到店预约等端到端业务流程。 商业模式重构：从"卖坐席"到"卖结果"，客户留存率大幅提升 比收入数字更深刻的，是天润云商业模式的底层重构。公司明确表述："我们的商业模式正从传统的'按坐席订阅'演进为与可衡量的业务成果（如已完成的工单及交易转化）挂钩的结果定价"。这一句话，揭示了天润云在AI时代的真正野心。 从坐席订阅到"流量+结果"定价，是价值捕获方式的本质跃迁。传统SaaS按坐席数收费，而天润云的AI数字员工，按照处理的对话量、完成的业务笔数、带来的转化提升等可量化指标进行定价。这种"流量+结果"的模式带来三重红利： 收入弹性打开：客户业务量越大、AI替代人力越多，天润云捕获的价值就越大，不再受限于坐席数的物理天花板 客户粘性深化：当定价与业务成果挂钩，天润云的AI产品就与客户的核心KPI深度绑定，成为"业务伙伴"而非"软件供应商" 毛利结构改善：2026上半年AI解决方案毛利率达66%，较2025年同期提升2.7个百分点 AI业务的留存质量，远高于传统SaaS业务，这是商业模式重构最有力的佐证。2026上半年，天润云AI数字员工的客户留存率高达92.6%，以金额为基础的净留存率（NDR）为125.8%。结果定价模式下，AI业务与客户业务成果深度绑定，客户一旦体验到"AI替代人力"的ROI，就会从单点试用走向全链路部署——这也正是ARR能够持续高速累积的根本原因。 例如，中报里提到某支付行业巨头，通过50个AI语音智能体承担了75个传统人力岗位，实现年度运营成本降低900万元；另外，某头部智能门锁品牌，通过部署AI数字员工实现了AI独立接待率提升至86%，累计节省了超过50%的人力成本。 写在最后：从工具到生产力，天润云重新定义客户联络 在AI Agent重塑客户联络行业的浪潮中，天润云已经占据了"垂直AI生产力平台"的有利地形，完成从"工具交付"向"AI生产力"的跨越。当第二曲线的爆发遇上商业模式的重构，天润云正在书写的，是一个关于企业如何借助AI实现客户联络范式飞跃的样本——而这个故事，才刚刚开始。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯.
