Unaudited Financial Results of the Second Half of 2024
Total revenues were RMB128.7 million (US$17.6 million) in the second half of 2024, compared to RMB200.3 million in the same period of 2023.
- Online advertising services revenues were RMB100.2 million (US$13.7 million) in the second half of 2024, compared to RMB139.8 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in advertising spending by advertisers from certain industries and our proactive efforts to cease collaboration with certain customers with relatively high credit risk.
- Enterprise value-added services revenues were RMB19.4 million (US$2.7 million) in the second half of 2024, compared to RMB40.5 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to strategically refocusing on the core high-margin business through the elimination of underperforming regional operations.
- Subscription services revenues were RMB9.0 million (US$1.2 million) in the second half of 2024, compared to RMB20.0 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by fluctuations that resulted in lower-than-anticipated revenue.
Cost of revenues was RMB61.8 million (US$8.5 million) in the second half of 2024, compared to RMB88.1 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the operating cost reductions in line with the decline in our revenues.
Gross profit was RMB66.9 million (US$9.2 million) in the second half of 2024, compared to RMB112.2 million in the same period of 2023. Gross profit margin was 52.0% in the second half of 2024, compared to 56.0% in the same period of 2023.
Operating expenses were RMB73.1 million (US$10.0 million) in the second half of 2024, compared to RMB147.5 million in the same period of 2023, representing a decrease of 50% year-over-year.
- Sales and marketing expenses were RMB37.2 million (US$5.1 million) in the second half of 2024, a decrease of 40.7% from RMB62.7 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in payroll-related expenses, rental expenses, and marketing and promotional expenses.
- General and administrative expenses were RMB30.3 million (US$4.1 million) in the second half of 2024, a 58.0% decrease compared to RMB72.2 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in personnel-related expenses.
- Research and development expenses were RMB5.6 million (US$0.8 million) in the second half of 2024, a decrease of 55.6% from RMB12.6 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the workforce restructuring to enhance R&D efficiency.
Share-based compensation gains recognized in cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses, as well as general and administrative expenses, totaled RMB0.22 million (US$30.7 thousand) in the second half of 2024, compared to share-based compensation expenses of RMB0.97 million in the same period of 2023. The change was primarily attributable to the reversal of SBC expenses resulting from strategic workforce realignment.
Other expenses were RMB38.6 million (US$5.3 million) in the second half of 2024, compared to RMB1.1 million of other expenses in the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly due to the impairment loss of long-term investment.
Income tax credits were RMB1 thousand (US$0.1 thousand) in the second half of 2024, compared to RMB148 thousand of income tax expenses in the same period of 2023.
Net loss was RMB44.9 million (US$6.1 million) in the second half of 2024, compared to RMB36.6 million in the same period of 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss6 was RMB45.1 million (US$6.2 million) in the second half of 2024, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of RMB35.6 million in the same period of 2023.

Certain Balance Sheet Items
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of RMB91.7 million (US$12.6 million).
Unaudited Financial Results of Fiscal Year 2024
Total revenues were RMB231.1 million (US$31.7 million) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB340.2 million in fiscal year 2023.
- Online advertising services revenues were RMB180.6 million (US$24.7 million) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB238.7 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by clients' advertising budget reductions coupled with our proactive efforts to cease collaboration with certain customers with relatively high credit risk.
- Enterprise value-added services revenues were RMB32.8 million (US$4.5 million) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB67.3 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to our ongoing refinement of service offerings by shrinking several regional operations to accelerate focus on cash flow optimization and efficiency improvement.
- Subscription services revenues were RMB17.6 million (US$2.4 million) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB34.2 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was mainly attributable to a strategic transition in the business model for training services.
Cost of revenues was RMB118.7 million (US$16.3 million) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB158.2 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating costs resulting from our improved efficiency.
Gross profit was RMB112.3 million (US$15.4 million) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB182.0 million in fiscal year 2023. Gross profit margin was 48.6% in fiscal year 2024 compared to 53.5% in the same period of 2023.
Operating expenses were RMB190.1 million (US$26.0 million) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB276.2 million in fiscal year 2023, representing a decrease of 31.2% year-over-year.
- Sales and marketing expenses were RMB82.6 million (US$11.3 million) in fiscal year 2024, a decrease of 35.2% from RMB127.5 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in payroll-related expenses, rental expenses, and marketing and promotional expenses.
- General and administrative expenses were RMB93.1 million (US$12.8 million) in fiscal year 2024, a 13.0% decrease compared to RMB107.0 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in personnel-related expenses and partially offset by doubtful accounts loss.
- Research and development expenses were RMB14.4 million (US$2.0 million) in fiscal year 2024, a decrease of 65.5% from RMB41.7 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the average compensation level for our R&D personnel as we restructured our R&D team.
Share-based compensation gains recognized in cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses, as well as general and administrative expenses, totaled RMB0.18 million (US$24.3 thousand) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB4.7 million of share-based compensation expenses in fiscal year 2023. The change was mainly due to the reversal of SBC expenses caused by strategic workforce optimization.
Other expenses were RMB63.0 million (US$8.6 million) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB4.9 million of other income in fiscal year 2023. The change was primarily driven by the impairment loss of long-term investment. Nevertheless, the company has proactively responded and is upbeat about its future.
Income tax expenses were RMB64 thousand (US$9 thousand) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB42 thousand of income tax credits in fiscal year 2023.
Net loss was RMB140.8 million (US$19.3 million) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB89.2 million in fiscal year 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss6 was RMB141.0 million (US$19.3 million) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB84.6 million in fiscal year 2023.
Net loss attributable to 36Kr Holdings Inc.'s ordinary shareholders was RMB136.6 million (US$18.7 million) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB90.0 million in fiscal year 2023.
Basic and diluted net loss per ADS7 were both RMB64.795 (US$8.877) in fiscal year 2024, compared to RMB43.132 in fiscal year 2023.
___________________________
6 Non-GAAP adjusted income/(loss) represents net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses/(gain).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses two non-GAAP measures, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of these two non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company's management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Adjusted net loss represents net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net income/(loss) before interest income, interest expenses, income tax expense/(credit), depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.
