Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues increased by 1.2% to RMB17.8 billion (US$2.4 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB17.6 billion in the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of net revenues from home renovation and furnishing and rental property management services, which was partially offset by the decrease of net revenues from existing and new home transaction services. Total GTV decreased by 11.1% to RMB655.2 billion (US$89.8 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB737.1 billion in the same period of 2022, which was primarily attributable to the soft market sentiment, especially in new home transactions, while the market also experienced a sequential recovery month-on-month, especially in September after many high-tier cities introduced supportive polices.

  • Net revenues from existing home transaction services decreased by 11.9% to RMB6.3 billion (US$0.9 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB7.2 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily attributable to the decrease of commission revenue which was partially offset by the increase of the revenues derived from platform service, franchise service and other value-added services. GTV of existing home transactions decreased by 2.2% to RMB439.0 billion (US$60.2 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB449.0 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily attributable to the decrease of GTV served by Lianjia brand, which was partially offset by the increase of GTV served by connected agents on the Company’s platform year-over-year. The larger contraction of net revenues of existing home transaction services compared to that of GTV was primarily attributable to a higher contribution from GTV of existing home transaction services served by connected agents on the Company’s platform, for which revenue is recorded on a net basis from platform service, franchise service and other value-added services, while for GTV served by Lianjia brand, the revenue is recorded on a gross commission revenue basis.

    Among that, (i) commission revenue decreased by 16.1% to RMB5.1 billion (US$0.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB6.1 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily due to a decrease in GTV of existing home transactions served by Lianjia stores of 13.0% to RMB191.2 billion (US$26.2 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB219.7 billion in the same period of 2022; and

    (ii) revenues derived from platform service, franchise service and other value-added services, which are mostly charged to connected stores and agents on the Company’s platform, increased by 13.4% to RMB1.2 billion (US$0.2 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB1.0 billion in the same period of 2022, mainly due to an 8.1% increase of GTV of existing home transactions served by connected agents on the Company’s platform to RMB247.8 billion (US$34.0 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB229.3 billion in the same period of 2022.
  • Net revenues from new home transaction services decreased by 24.3% to RMB5.9 billion (US$0.8 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB7.8 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the decrease of GTV of new home transactions of 26.5% to RMB192.1 billion (US$26.3 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB261.5 billion in the same period of 2022. Among that, the GTV of new home transactions completed on Beike platform through connected agents, dedicated sales team with the expertise on new home transaction services and other sales channels decreased by 29.6% to RMB151.9 billion (US$20.8 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB215.7 billion in the same period of 2022, while the GTV of new home transactions served by Lianjia brand decreased by 12.1% to RMB40.3 billion (US$5.5 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB45.8 billion in the same period of 2022.
  • Net revenues from home renovation and furnishing increased by 72.1% to RMB3.2 billion (US$0.4 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB1.8 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily attributable to the organic growth of the GTV for home renovation and furnishing business driven by the increase of orders and enhanced delivery capability.
  • Net revenues from emerging and other services increased by 202.7% to RMB2.4 billion (US$0.3 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB0.8 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily attributable to the increase of net revenues from rental property management services.

Cost of Revenues

Total cost of revenues was to RMB12.9 billion (US$1.8 billion) in the third quarter of 2023, compared to RMB12.8 billion in the same period of 2022.

  • Commission – split. The Company’s cost of revenues for commissions to connected agents and other sales channels was RMB5.5 billion (US$0.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2023, compared to RMB5.7 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the decrease in GTV of new home transactions completed through connected agents and other sales channels in the third quarter of 2023 compared with the same period of 2022, which was partially offset by the increase of commission-split for rental property management services.
  • Commission and compensation – internal. The Company’s cost of revenues for internal commission and compensation was RMB4.0 billion (US$0.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2023, compared to RMB4.6 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the decreased GTV of existing home transactions and new home transactions completed through Lianjia agents and dedicated sales team with the expertise on new home transaction services.
  • Cost of home renovation and furnishing. The Company’s cost of revenues for home renovation and furnishing increased by 72.7% to RMB2.3 billion (US$0.3 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB1.3 billion in the same period of 2022, which was primarily attributable to the organic growth of net revenues from home renovation and furnishing.
  • Cost related to stores. The Company’s cost related to stores decreased by 11.3% to RMB0.7 billion (US$0.1 billion) in the third quarter of 2023, compared to RMB0.8 billion in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the decrease in the number of Lianjia stores in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.
  • Other costs. The Company’s other costs increased to RMB480 million (US$66 million) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB407 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to an increase in share-based compensation expenses and the increase in maintenance costs of rental property management services.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by 2.6% to RMB4.9 billion (US$0.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB4.8 billion in the same period of 2022. Gross margin was 27.4% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 27.0% in the same period of 2022. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a lower percentage of costs related to stores of net revenues with a relatively flat contribution margin in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Total operating expenses increased by 12.0% to RMB4.0 billion (US$0.5 billion) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB3.5 billion in the same period of 2022.

  • General and administrative expenses increased by 4.8% to RMB1,862 million (US$255 million) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB1,777 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the decrease of reversal for credit loss, which was partially offset by the decrease in personnel costs compared to the same period of 2022.
  • Sales and marketing expenses increased by 29.6% to RMB1,631 million (US$223 million) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB1,258 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the increase in sales and marketing expenses for home renovation and furnishing along with the growth of net revenues from home renovation and furnishing.
  • Research and development expenses decreased by 7.4% to RMB472 million (US$65 million) in the third quarter of 2023 from RMB509 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the decreases in personnel costs and share-based compensation as a result of decreased headcount in research and development personnel in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

Income from operations was RMB911 million (US$125 million) in the third quarter of 2023, compared to RMB1,216 million in the same period of 2022. Operating margin was 5.1% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 6.9% in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the increased contribution of net revenues from home renovation and furnishing and rental property management services, which was still in ramp-up period with a relatively lower operating margin than that of existing and new home transaction services in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the same period of 2022.

Adjusted income from operations6 was RMB1,886 million (US$259 million) in the third quarter of 2023, compared to RMB2,108 million in the same period of 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) per ADS attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Beike believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that the Company includes in its net income (loss). Beike also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about its results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to gross profit, net income (loss) or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. Beike encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is defined as income (loss) from operations, excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and business cooperation agreement, and (iii) impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted income (loss) from operations as a percentage of net revenues. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss), excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and business cooperation agreement, (iii) changes in fair value from long-term investments, loan receivables measured at fair value and contingent consideration, (iv) impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, (v) impairment of investments, and (vi) tax effects of the above non-GAAP adjustments. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders is defined as net income (loss) attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders, excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and business cooperation agreement, (iii) changes in fair value from long-term investments, loan receivables measured at fair value and contingent consideration, (iv) impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, (v) impairment of investments, (vi) tax effects of the above non-GAAP adjustments, and (vii) effects of non-GAAP adjustments on net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests shareholders. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), excluding (i) income tax expense, (ii) share-based compensation expenses, (iii) amortization of intangible assets, (iv) depreciation of property, plant and equipment, (v) interest income, net, (vi) changes in fair value from long-term investments, loan receivables measured at fair value and contingent consideration, (vii) impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, and (viii) impairment of investments. Adjusted net income (loss) per ADS attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders is defined as adjusted net income (loss) attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of ADS outstanding during the periods used in calculating adjusted net income (loss) per ADS, basic and diluted.
