MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the same periods included in Exhibit 99.2 to our current report on Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24, 2025 and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

 

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

 

Our business and results of operations are affected by a number of general factors that impact China’s online recruitment service market, including, among others:

 

· China’s overall economic condition and its influence on job market and recruitment industry;

 

· greater challenges in hiring leading to the increasing adoption of efficient recruitment services;

 

· digitalization of the recruitment industry;

 

· growth of the blue-collar sector;

 

· the high growth potential in online penetration among employers;

 

· the competitive landscape of China’s online recruitment service industry and our market position therein; and

 

· government policies and regulations affecting China’s Internet industry as well as online recruitment service industry.

 

Unfavorable changes in any of these general conditions could negatively impact demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our results of operations. While our business is influenced by these general factors, our results of operations are more directly affected by the following company-specific factors.

 

Our ability to expand our large and active user base and enhance user engagement

 

A large and active user base is the core reason why enterprise users and job seekers are attracted to and continue to use our online recruitment platform, as enterprise users primarily look for a large talent pool to recruit from and job seekers value access to a multitude of actively hiring employers when using recruitment services. We believe it is important to grow our monthly active users (“MAU”), which we view as a key indicator of the size of our active user base, in order to support our business development. MAU refers to the number of verified user accounts, including both job seekers and enterprise users, that logged on to our mobile application in a given month at least once. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our average MAU was 57.6 million, representing an increase of 23.6% from 46.6 million for the same period of 2024. Whether we can continue to grow our MAU mainly depends on our ability to provide high-quality user experience. To this end, we will continue to focus on providing a personalized user experience through enhancing our big data technology capabilities that power the recommendation engine, offering more efficient and flexible communication methods for our users, and improving the reliability of our online recruitment platform.

The growth of paid enterprise customers

 

Growth in the number of paid enterprise customers is a key driver of our revenue growth, as most of our revenues come from providing online recruitment services to paid enterprise customers. Paid enterprise customers refer to enterprise users and company accounts from which we recognize revenues for online recruitment services. The continued growth of our business therefore depends on the growth of paid enterprise customers. Our paid enterprise customers grew by 12.3% from 5.7 million in the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 to 6.4 million in the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. In order to improve the growth of paid enterprise customers, we will continue to focus our resources on maintaining relationships with existing enterprise users, improving service quality, converting free enterprise users and their companies to paid enterprise customers, exploring new services, features and functionalities responsive to user needs, promoting awareness of our brands, and marketing our services to a wider user group and in more geographical markets.

 

Our ability to expand our services to existing paid enterprise customers

 

We believe that there is a significant opportunity for cross selling more of our online recruitment services to our existing paid enterprise customers. Among our paid enterprise customers, those who contributed revenues of RMB5,000 or more to us in a twelve-month period ended on the end of a given period historically accounted for the majority of our revenue source. Paid enterprise customers who contributed RMB5,000 or more, but less than RMB50,000 of revenues to us in a twelve-month period ended on the end of a given period, or mid-sized accounts, contributed 34.3% and 33.1% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. In addition, paid enterprise customers who contributed RMB50,000 or more of revenues to us in a twelve-month period ended on the end of a given period, or key accounts, contributed 22.0% and 23.7% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. We value key accounts because they typically are large enterprises with steady demand for our online recruitment services and a stable recruiting budget. The solid revenue contribution of mid-sized accounts and key accounts speaks to the importance of expanding our services to existing paid enterprise customers, which will increase their spending. To expand our services to existing paid enterprise customers, we plan to introduce new service offerings, better educate existing paid enterprise customers about the value of additional services, and recommend more customized services to each paid enterprise customer based on analysis of its historical hiring behaviors.

 

Our ability to promote our brands and market our services more effectively

 

Our investment in branding, marketing and promotional activities contributes to our user acquisition, and whether such investment is cost-effective has a significant impact on our results of operations. To achieve maximum return for our branding and marketing investments, we set and adjust our branding and marketing strategies based on data analytics of factors such as occupational structure, average income of target demographics, and characteristics of different marketing channels. Our advertising expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. The declining proportion of our advertising expenses to revenues signifies higher efficiency of our advertising and marketing activities. We will continue to monitor and manage our advertising expenses.

Our ability to enhance our operating efficiency

 

Our results of operations are further affected by our operating efficiency in aspects other than sales and marketing, as measured by our total operating cost and expenses excluding sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of our revenues. Our total operating cost and expenses excluding sales and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. As our business grows further, we expect to improve the efficiency and utilization of our personnel, and leverage our scale to achieve greater operating leverage.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In evaluating the business, we consider and use non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. We define these non-GAAP financial measures by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash expenses, from the related GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in the business and facilitate investors’ assessment of our operating performance.

 

The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP information used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

The following table reconciles non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the periods indicated.

Operating activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was RMB1.0 billion (US$138.2 million). The difference between this net cash provided by operating activities and net income of RMB512.1 million (US$70.6 million) for the same period was due to adjustments for non-cash items that primarily included share-based compensation expenses of RMB251.8 million (US$34.7 million), depreciation and amortization expenses of long-lived assets of RMB135.0 million (US$18.6 million), interest and investment income of RMB55.9 million (US$7.7 million), and amortization of right-of-use assets of RMB41.4 million (US$5.7 million), as well as cash released from a decrease in working capital mainly resulting from an increase of RMB256.7 million (US$35.4 million) in deferred revenue and an increase of RMB114.9 million (US$15.8 million) in accounts payable and other payables and accrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase of RMB325.2 million (US$44.8 million) in prepayments and other current assets and a decrease of RMB40.1 million (US$5.5 million) in operating lease liabilities.

 

Investing activities    

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was RMB678.8 million (US$93.5 million), primarily due to purchases of time deposits of RMB3.6 billion (US$502.0 million) and purchases of short-term and long-term investments of RMB2.8 billion (US$391.4 million), partially offset by maturities of time deposits of RMB3.6 billion (US$489.3 million) and maturities of short-term and long-term investments of RMB2.3 billion (US$315.6 million).

 

Financing activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was RMB86.0 million (US$11.9 million), primarily attributable to the payment for share repurchases of RMB93.4 million (US$12.9 million), partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of share-based awards of RMB7.4 million (US$1.0 million).

 

Capital expenditures

 

Our capital expenditures primarily consist of purchases of servers and other electronic equipment. We incurred capital expenditures of RMB36.5 million (US$5.0 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We plan to continue to incur capital expenditures in the future to meet our business growth. We intend to fund our future capital expenditures primarily with our existing cash balance and anticipated cash generated from operating activities.

 

Material cash requirements

 

Our material cash requirements as of March 31, 2025 primarily include operating lease obligations and advertising commitments. Our operating lease obligations primarily represent our obligations under the lease agreements for our office premises. Advertising commitments relate to purchase obligations for advertising services. We intend to fund our existing and future material cash requirements primarily with our existing cash balance and anticipated cash flows from operations.

Taxation

 

Cayman Islands

 

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on corporations based upon profits, income, gains, or appreciation. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties, which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or brought within the jurisdiction of, the Cayman Islands. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

 

Hong Kong

 

Our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to 16.5% Hong Kong profit tax for taxable income earned. Additionally, payments of dividends by our subsidiaries in Hong Kong to our company are not subject to any Hong Kong withholding tax. No provision for Hong Kong profits tax was made as we had no estimated assessable profit that was subject to Hong Kong profits tax during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

PRC

 

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law effective from January 1, 2008, and amended on February 24, 2017 and December 29, 2018, our mainland China subsidiaries and the VIE, Beijing Huapin Borui Network Technology Co., Ltd., are subject to the statutory rate of 25%, subject to preferential tax treatments available to qualified enterprises as stipulated under PRC tax laws and regulations.

 

Enterprises that qualify as “high and new technology enterprises” are entitled to a preferential rate of 15% for three years. Enterprises that qualify as “small low-profit enterprises” are entitled to a preferential rate of 20%.

 

Beijing Huapin Borui Network Technology Co., Ltd., was certified as a “high and new technology enterprise” and accordingly was eligible for a preferential tax rate of 15% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The preferential tax treatment continues as long as an enterprise can retain its “high and new technology enterprise” status. Our WFOE, Beijing Highland Wolf Technology Co., Ltd., was subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

If our company in the Cayman Islands or any of our subsidiaries outside of mainland China were deemed a “resident enterprise” under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, it would be subject to enterprise income tax on its worldwide income at a rate of 25%.

 

We are subject to value-added tax at a rate of approximately 3% for small-scale-value-added-tax-payer entities or 6% for general-value-added-tax-payer entities on the services we provide to our customers, less any deductible value-added tax we have already paid or borne in accordance with laws of mainland China. We are also subject to surcharges on value-added tax payments in accordance with laws of mainland China.

 

Pursuant to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and the Arrangement between the Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income, a 5% or 10% withholding tax is levied on dividends declared to our intermediary holding company in Hong Kong from mainland China effective from January 1, 2008.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the consolidated VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries for which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary, and have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements of the preceding fiscal year and include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024. Significant accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year or any future periods.

4. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

On February 6, 2024, the Group completed the acquisition of approximately 77% of equity interest of W.D Technology Investment Group Limited, which is principally engaged in providing blue-collar recruitment services. The consideration of this acquisition was approximately US$52.7 million (approximately RMB374.3 million). The Group obtained control of the investee since it held majority of the investee’s equity interest and was entitled to assign majority of the board members, one of whom shall be the chief executive officer of the investee.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a business acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting. The consideration of the acquisition was allocated based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date as follows:

 

    Amount  
      RMB  
      (In thousands)  
Purchase consideration     374,306  
         
Net assets acquired     208,412

– Technology     80,000  
– Non-compete agreements     13,000  
Goodwill     839  
Non-controlling interests     (112,945 )
Total     374,306  

 

Net assets acquired primarily consisted of cash and cash equivalents of RMB224.0 million, other receivables of RMB37.1 million, property, equipment and software of RMB43.3 million and other payables and accrued liabilities of RMB104.6 million.

 

Goodwill  arising  from  this  acquisition  was  primarily attributable to future business growth expected to be achieved from the acquisition. Goodwill was expected to be non-deductible for income tax purposes.
