Mr. Jonathan Peng Zhao, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, remarked, “In the third quarter of this year, the Company achieved high-quality business growth, with solid progress in user growth, commercialization, and the implementation of AI technologies. The recovery in enterprise recruitment demand drove an acceleration in revenue year-on-year, and while profitability improved, user numbers maintained a steady growth, further consolidating our industry-leading position as China’s largest online recruitment platform. We are committed to integrating AI into our technologies, products, and operational systems, gradually making it one of the driving forces for enhancing user experience, strengthening service capabilities, and achieving efficient operations. As a result, benefits are gradually being realized on both the job seeker and enterprise user sides. At the same time, we are cautiously exploring the potential for AI recruitment to evolve into fully hosted or placement services in more specific scenarios. The Company completed its annual dividend distribution in the third quarter, actively fulfilling its commitment to shareholder returns.”

 

Mr. Phil Yu Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, elaborated, “In the third quarter, we achieved a 13.2% year-on-year revenue growth, while the number of paid enterprise customers over the past 12 months as of September 30 also increased by 13.3% year-on-year to 6.8 million. This demonstrates that the Company’s structural drivers of revenue growth – namely, user expansion and improved commercialization rates – remain effective. Benefiting from enhanced marketing efficiency driven by the platform’s strong network effects, efficient operating leverage, and continued optimization of share-based compensation expenses, the Company’s net profit margin increased by 11.5 percentage points year-on-year, reaching a record high. This signifies our ability to maintain robust revenue growth while ensuring a high-quality and sustainable margin profile.”

 

 

1 Paid enterprise customers are defined as enterprise users and company accounts from which the Company recognizes revenues for online recruitment services.
2 Monthly active users refer to the number of verified user accounts, including both job seekers and enterprise users, that logged on to the Company’s mobile application in a given month at least once.
3 It is a non-GAAP financial measure, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses. For more information about the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section of “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

· Revenues from online recruitment services to enterprise customers were RMB2,146.8 million (US$301.6 million) for the third quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 13.6% from RMB1,889.1 million for the same quarter of 2024. This increase was mainly driven by the paid enterprise customer growth.

 

· Revenues from other services, primarily comprising paid value-added services offered to job seekers, were RMB16.4 million (US$2.3 million) for the third quarter of 2025, decreasing from RMB22.5 million for the same quarter of 2024. The decrease was mainly driven by the optimization of certain value-added features. The Company simplified these offerings to enhance the value proposition for job seekers, prioritizing platform engagement and long-term ecosystem growth.

Total operating cost and expenses were RMB1,476.2 million (US$207.4 million) for the third quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 7.0% from RMB1,586.9 million for the same quarter of 2024.

· Sales and marketing expenses were RMB393.6 million (US$55.3 million) for the third quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 24.6% from RMB522.3 million for the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to decreases in advertising and marketing expenses, employee-related expenses and rental expenses.

 

· Research and development expenses were RMB408.0 million (US$57.3 million) for the third quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 12.1% from RMB464.2 million for the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in employee-related expenses.

 

· General and administrative expenses were RMB366.8 million (US$51.5 million) for the third quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 28.1% from RMB286.4 million for the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to an impairment of intangible assets, partially offset by a decrease in employee-related expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, adjusted basic and diluted net income per ordinary share attributable to ordinary shareholders and adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. The Company defines 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. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in the business and facilitate investors’ assessment of the Company’s 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.

 

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures has been provided in the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.
