Our Autohome Media MCN now includes over 500 top-tier creators across diverse fields, broadening our engagement across user groups. On the transaction service side, Autohome Mall, which launched in the second half of 2025, got off to a stable start, demonstrating a positive development trajectory. Driven by the robust performance of our new retail business, our online marketplace and others revenues increased by 8.8% year-over-year in 2025.

      Unaudited Full Year 2025 Financial Results

      Net Revenues

      Net revenues in 2025 were RMB6,452.0 million (US$922.6 million), compared to RMB7,039.6 million in 2024.                               

      • Media services revenues were RMB1,153.4 million (US$164.9 million) in 2025, compared to RMB1,523.1 million in 2024, primarily due to reduced advertising spending by ICE automakers amid shrinking sales volumes in the ICE segment.

      • Leads generation services revenues were RMB2,709.2 million (US$387.4 million) in 2025, compared to RMB3,135.9 million in 2024. The decline was primarily attributable to a reduction in the number of paying dealers and a lower average revenue per dealer as we expanded our footprint across lower-tier cities.

      • Online marketplace and others revenues were RMB2,589.4 million (US$370.3 million) in 2025, compared to RMB2,380.6 million in 2024.

      Cost of Revenues

      Cost of revenues was RMB1,783.8 million (US$255.1 million) in 2025, compared to RMB1,483.2 million in 2024, primarily due to higher transaction costs associated with the Company's new retail business in lower-tier cities. Share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenues was RMB14.8 million (US$2.1 million) in 2025, compared to RMB8.1 million in 2024.

      Operating expenses were RMB4,100.4 million (US$586.4 million) in 2025, compared to RMB4,841.4 million in 2024.

      • Sales and marketing expenses were RMB2,532.7 million (US$362.2 million) in 2025, compared to RMB2,988.2 million in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in marketing and promotional expenses. Share-based compensation expenses included in sales and marketing expenses in 2025 were RMB56.9 million (US$8.1 million), compared to RMB48.4 million in 2024.

      • General and administrative expenses were RMB504.0 million (US$72.1 million) in 2025, compared to RMB534.8 million in 2024. Share-based compensation expenses included in general and administrative expenses in 2025 were RMB60.1 million (US$8.6 million), compared to RMB51.1 million in 2024.

      • Product development expenses were RMB1,063.7 million (US$152.1 million) in 2025, compared to RMB1,318.4 million in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in personnel-related expenses. Share-based compensation expenses included in product development expenses in 2025 were RMB87.1 million (US$12.5 million), compared to RMB84.3 million in 2024.

      Operating Profit

      Operating profit was RMB769.3 million (US$110.0 million) in 2025, compared to RMB1,003.5 million in 2024.

      Income Tax Expense

      Income tax expense was RMB141.7 million (US$20.3 million) in 2025, compared to an income tax expense of RMB63.0 million in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the prior-year tax filing adjustments, and less benefits from preferential income tax rates and tax holidays for certain subsidiaries in the PRC.

      Net Income attributable to Autohome

      Net income attributable to Autohome was RMB1,442.8 million (US$206.3 million) in 2025, compared to RMB1,681.1 million in 2024.

      Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

      To supplement net income presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome, Non-GAAP basic and diluted EPS and earnings per ADS, Adjusted net margin and Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome as net income attributable to Autohome excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, investment loss relating to non-operating impact of a write-down of the initial investment in a financial product, share of results of equity method investments, and non-recurring employee severance costs, with all the reconciliation items adjusted for related income tax effects. We define non-GAAP basic and diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares. We define non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of ADSs. We define Adjusted net margin as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome divided by total net revenues. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Autohome before income tax expense, depreciation expenses of property and equipment, amortization expenses of intangible assets and share-based compensation expenses. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, in addition to net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand our operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess our core operating results, as they exclude certain non-cash charges or items that are non-operating in nature. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations as they excluded certain items that have been and will continue to be incurred in the future, but such items should be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP Results" set fourth at the end of this press release.
