“2024 presented a dynamic demand landscape, yet we delivered robust performance, further solidifying our leadership in China’s MRO industry and expanding our global footprint.” stated Mr. Eric Long Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ZKH. “During the past year, we continued to enhance our profitability, bolstered by a growing customer base, increased customer loyalty, and advancements in digitalization and artificial intelligence. Notably, in 2024, we reached a significant milestone by broadening our international presence, particularly as our U.S. operations gained momentum. Looking ahead, we remain steadfast in our commitment to enhancing our products and supply chain capabilities and advancing our digitalization and artificial intelligence initiatives. While our strategic business optimization initiatives temporarily affected overall GMV growth, we believe the impact of these adjustments has gradually faded, placing us on a stronger path toward solid and sustainable growth, and we are confident that we will achieve full-year profitability for our domestic operations in 2025.”

 

 

1 GMV is the total transaction value of orders placed on the Company’s platform and shipped to customers, excluding taxes, net of the returned amount.

2 The proportion of GMV generated by the marketplace model was 27.6% and 24.8% for the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the fiscal year of 2023, and 13.6% for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 18.6% for the fiscal year of 2024, respectively.

3 Customers are customers that transacted with the Company during the reporting period, mainly comprised of enterprise customers in various industries.

4 Non-GAAP EBITDA is defined as net profit/(loss) before interest expenses, income tax expenses/(benefits) and depreciation and amortization expenses.

5 Non-GAAP adjusted net profit/(loss) is defined as net profit/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses.

Mr. Max Chun Chiu Lai, Chief Financial Officer of ZKH, added, “Despite challenges in the demand environment and the impacts of business optimization, we concluded the year with resilient results, alongside overall enhancements in profitability. This is reflected in the improvement in both gross margin and net margin in 2024, driven by our expanded business scale and continued efforts to optimize our supply chain, sales force, and organizational structure. Our cash position has also strengthened, as we generated net cash of RMB170.7 million from operating activities in the fourth quarter and RMB229.1 million in 2024, marking our third consecutive quarter and our first full year of positive net cash inflow from operating activities. With this solid foundation, we are poised to leverage future growth opportunities and enhance shareholder returns.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP adjusted net loss, non-GAAP adjusted net loss per ADS, basic and diluted, and non-GAAP EBITDA. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from or construed as alternatives to their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures in reconciliation to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

 

The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted net loss for a specific period as net loss in the same period excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expenses, income tax expenses/(benefits) and depreciation and amortization expenses. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss per ADS is calculated by dividing adjusted net loss attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods and then multiplied by 35.

 

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in net loss and certain expenses that are not expected to result in future cash payments or that are non-recurring in nature. The Company also believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of its operating performance, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management in financial and operational decision making.

 

The non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations as analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures do not include all income and expense items that affect the Company’s operations. They may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider the non-GAAP financial measures as substitutes for, or superior to, their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

 

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
