This is the company's financial information. Next, let's start the discussion. So that concludes our financial summary. We are ready to open up the C&A session. Operator.
Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask the questions on the phone, please press star 11 and wait for our name to be announced. If you'd like to cancel your request, you can press star 11 again. Our first questions come from the line Thomas Chong of Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Thanks, management, for taking my question. I have two questions. The first question is about the outlook for 2026 auto market. How should we think about the industry trend? And my second question is about AI. We mentioned AI in our prepared remarks. So I just want to get some more color about the progress of our AI product offerings. Thank you for your question.
First, let me share some market recent developments and future trends with you. 这对测试价格战的环节还是有帮助的。 我们也看到了20一架车企逐步取消了一口价这样的促销。 First of all, the price war in the auto market has shown some signs of easing, and the automakers are accelerating their intelligent technology efforts. In recent months, multiple government agencies have rolled out intensive policies calling for the industry to end involution and provided policy guidance to ease the ongoing price war in the auto sector. So all these measures have helped to cool down the price war in the auto market. And we have also observed that over 20 automakers have gradually phased out their fixed price promotion. 相关规划加速推进这个智能驾驶这个技术的普及和应用吧以上可以看出未来行业的竞争呢主要取决于科技的一些竞争取决于企业智能技术的整合场景和用户需求的这个系统能力而非单一的这个技术优势因此明年的竞争呢可能从会从单纯的这个价格竞争呢去转向这种技术性价比这样的一种一种比拼吧 Since the start of this year, major automakers have successfully announced their plans for intelligent driving technologies to accelerate the adoption and application of intelligent driving. So from this, it's quite clear that future industry competition will depend more on the company's comprehensive capabilities in integrating intelligent technology, user scenarios, and and meeting user needs, et cetera, rather than any single technological advantage. So for next year, the price competition expected to shift more towards a battle of technological cost effectiveness. Secondly, the NEV market still remains the core growth driver, even though this year their growth number is higher. is comparatively a little bit slower than last year. But according to the data from the China Passenger Car Association, CPCA, the NEV penetration rate exceeded 50% in seven out of the first nine months of this year. So this was mainly driven by the extension of favorable policies, et cetera. So we believe for next year, the overall market, auto market expected to continue to undergo structural adjustment, which will redefine how consumers to make their purchasing decision. At the same time, the China's auto industry continues to remain under high pressure, which has been lasted so long. And this pressure, you know, includes severe capacity, over capacity, declining profit margins, and the intense or fierce market competition, et cetera. So we see both traditional automakers or dealers also undergoing such a business pressure. So confronted with both price wars and shrinking profits and margins, we see OEMs and dealers alike. So they have raised their expectations for both online consumer acquisition and offline sales conversion efficiencies. 至于明年来说呢 我认为以下几点是值得关注的 Looking ahead to next year, we believe the following viewpoint merits our attention 依然是有挑战也有机会吧 汽车车是短期内呢 还是会面临较大的压力 主要来自新能源购置税可能会减免呀 从全面转为减半啊 燃油车购置税的这个优惠到期啊 We believe there's a short-term challenge, but it co-exists with long-term opportunities because the auto market still face significant short-term pressures, mainly from the shift of the NEV purchase tax exemption policy from full exemption to half exemption, and the the exploration of tech incentives for the ICE. So combined with the price war in traditional ICE, all such factors may further impact the auto market. 预计,2026年的车市仍然是有一些小幅和平稳的增长。 Despite the above short-term pressures, as we just mentioned, there are still upgrades in intelligent technologies, improvements to a recovery in the market order, and if there's further supported by introduction of additional long-term policies, we believe it will still stimulate consumer demand in the auto market, and the market expected to achieve modest and steady growth in 2026. So for us, for auto home, we will continue to deepen our AI and auto strategies as I just mentioned. On one hand, we will keep advancing the product innovation and upgrades, accelerating the application of AI technology across content, intelligent customer services, and scenario-based services, etc. On the other side, we will continuously explore ways to leverage our online and offline resources to achieve integration, build a closed loop for auto transactions, and better serve our users and clients. 直接推动用户体验和客户业务效率的双重提升。 The second question is our AI product progress. So in the field of intelligent technologies, we have already completed a strategic layout of multiple products. The technology product mix spans the entire life cycle of auto consumption. And continuously, we drive improvement in both user experience and customer business efficiency. 而面对用户呢我们的AI智能助手呢和二手车的这个AI智能买手呢在持续的这个升级 新一代的智能助手已实现了就是从一问一答吧到主动理解和提供链接的跨越 能够自动识别对话中提及的车型车系并直接推送产品链接 缩短用户的查询路径提升决策效 And for users, you know, our AI Smart Assistant and the used car AI Smart Buyer are continuously being upgraded. The new generation of the Smart Assistant has moved beyond simple question and answer model to proactive and standing under link provision. So it can automatically identify the car models and series mentioned in the conversation and directly push product links. So it shortens the use of search process and improves decision-making efficiency. And for our clients, And we have deployed five major AI product lines covering core business scenarios such as marketing insights, online customer acquisition, store visit invitation, dealer store operations, and the used cars, et cetera. So through the intelligent tools, we can continuously empower our business team members and to realize the full chain digital operations. 这些都依赖于我们自研的这个仓杰大模型的作为一个技术的底座,比如二手车吧,AI智能买手呢,就搭载了这个仓杰的模型,在结合之家独有的这个数据资产,就能够通过精准高效的推荐能力实现车员与用户需求的高度匹配。 And for our technology foundation, you know, we have our own proprietary Tangjie large language model. For example, our used car, AI Smart Buyer, is powered by this Tangjie engine. And it is, besides, it is combined with Autohome's unique data assets. So it can deliver highly accurate and efficient recommendations, achieving a high degree of matching between the vehicle sources and the user needs. So currently, AutoHome is comprehensively and vigorously promoting the AI-driven upgrade of the products, achieving a comprehensive transformation from the underlying technology. architecture to application scenarios. So in the future we will continue to deepen the integrated application of AI across multiple scenarios using the technological innovation to drive an efficiency revolution in the auto sector in the industry.
Thank you.
One moment for the next question. The next question comes from the I'll ask Dan Zhang from CITC, please go ahead. questions.
So can management share your outlook on the traditional business for the upcoming quarters? And also, is there any update on the shareholder return plans? Thank you.
好 谢谢 三季度呢 传统业务确实是依然承压 这个从市场的大盘来看呢 价格战依然还是这个市场的这个主要的这个一个主权率吧 综合的这个促销的幅度呢 超过了这个23% 那汽车销售的这个销量和利润呢 也在向头部这个企业集中 So, the cost of the cost of the company, the cost of the company, the cost of the company, the cost of the company, the cost of the company.
Thank you for your question. In the third quarter, we do see that the OEM promotional discount still remains at high level, and the price wall has been there for so long. And the overall discount for OEMs has already exceeded 23%. So for the car sales volume and the profits, I still remain, you know, concentrated among the leading companies. So the price cutting for volume strategy has made a lot of OEMs to control their marketing budgets. For the media services revenue, you know, in Q3 still declined year over year, but the decline has narrowed down significantly, and the continued decline is mainly due to the continued pressure from the OEMs are price wars in the market. And the SQ4 is approaches to the year-end, and we believe OEMs are expected to maintain high professional discounts to boost their sales revenues. And they still put pressure on our media services revenues. So we do expect we will achieve a slight year-over-year decline. For our least generation business, because of the market inventory backlog, loss and inverted pricing. So dealers continue to face operational pressure. And we see that over 50% of dealers operating at a loss in the first half of the year. And it doesn't look very optimistic for their survival for many dealers. So accordingly, our least generation services also face some ongoing pressure in the second half of the year.
We believe that if the market can be changed, the customer's financial situation will be changed, and our traditional business will also be able to increase. Now, the media industry has also been waiting for us. On the other hand, the development of our new business development is also able to increase our traditional business.
Nevertheless, our customer penetration rate still remains at a good level. as the market once the market and customer operating conditions improve our traditional business can be you know hit the bottom rebound and stabilize as i just mentioned our media segment business segment already you know narrow down their decrease and on the other hand our Our innovative business developed quite strong, quite well. So to some extent, our, you know, it's offset the situation of our traditional businesses. of this year in 2020. On the shareholder return, you know on dividend. Today, we just announced cash dividend of RMB 1 billion for the second half of this year, and the combined with the RMB 500 million, We announced in September, you know, we have fulfilled our commitment to a total annual cash dividend of no less than RMB, 1.5 billion for the whole year, 2025. You know, our border directors will, you know, continue this stable dividend policy. On the share repurchase program, you know, of the US dollar 200 million share repurchase program, you know, until the day we have completed over 70% and the overall execution of the US dollar. this program is progressing quite well. So in the next few months, we'll continue to carry out the remaining share repurchase program. For a long time, we have been committed to building a comprehensive shareholder return plan centered on the continuous dividend and the share repurchases, providing shareholders with predictable and stable shareholder return. Over the long term, we are very confident in our business operations in the future, so We will continue to uphold our long-term, stable, and proactive approach to shareholder return. We sincerely thank all shareholders for their long-standing and strong support to the company. Operator?
Thank you. Thank you for the questions. One moment for the next question. The next question comes from the line of Richie Sen from HSBC.
Please go ahead. 管理商 虽然晚上好 谢谢你们接受我的提问 我是有两个问题 第一个问题是想问一下公司的毛利率的水平 为什么在三季度的时候还会有一个同比和环比的一个下滑 然后怎么看未来的趋势 第二个问题就是想问一下新能源空间站和卫星变的发展情况如何 然后2026年的目标会是什么 Thank you management for taking my questions So I have two First of all, the gross profit margin It has been dropped in year-on-year and Q-on-Q in third quarter So why is that and what is the trend going forward Secondly, I want to ask about the energy space stores and satellite stores So what is the development progress and the 2026 target Thank you 谢谢我来回答一下你的问题第一个就是今年呢我们其实从从过去几年吧我们为了快速推进了创新业务的发展我们也积极在拓展创新业务增加了部分前期投入也因此呢也产生了一些比较高的成本 Thank you for your question.
Since the beginning of 2025 this year, so in order to accelerate the development of our new innovative businesses, we have been actively expanding in, we have been actively developed our business, and so it's increased our upfront investment, and consequently it resulted in higher costs.
As a matter of fact, the new market is new to the Q3 level of the new market. The new market is now in October. This market market is currently in the last year. This market market is currently in the early days. The market market has been quite a bit of a tremendous impact. We've also added some investment in these different levels.
Specifically, you know, our innovative business, such as the new retail business, has scaled up in the third quarter as compared to the same period last year. For example, we self-launched auto home more business in September. And although this model is quite early stage, but we observed where we get quite positive market feedbacks. And we believe such staged investments is quite necessary for our future development, for our, you know, to explore new avenues of growth and create a much greater room for future development. So the growth margin of our transaction business, it cannot be, of course, it cannot be compared for our, you know, traditional business. For example, the media business and the least generation business is much lower than our traditional business. So going forward, we'll adhere to our consistent practice of the strict cost controls, and we'll help hold the prudent principles in managing the scale of our investment. So we'll pay attention to our growth margin change. We'll focus on that. The second question is about Autohom Space Station and the satellite store's development, the development of our offline network is always centered on using our digital technology to streamline the car purchasing process and improve the transaction efficiency. So our advantage is our ability to cover areas in low-tier markets where OEMs or dealers, they don't reach. So, we can help them to expand their sales network. So, this business model is also being continuously upgraded and iterated. As I just mentioned, you know, we are integrating the online and offline resources, bringing our online technology and the traffic advantages to offline. So we try to transform from an auto content-oriented platform to a transaction service platform. So after, you know, we complete the controlling child holder, you know, you know, we will continue to working on combining our online and offline efforts to provide platform services that are more convenient and efficient. efficient, and we try to find new ways to grow beyond our traditional business models.
Thank you for the question. One moment to the next question. Our final question comes from Barang Gong from Citi. Please go ahead.
Thank you,管理层.
This is my question. I'd like to ask a question about the two-wheel drive here, because I see the two-wheel drive
市场似乎还是比较疲乱,想请问一下管理层,如何看待二手车市场后续的一个发展情况。 谢谢, I will trust it to myself, the used car market seems still a little bit weak recently, how does management view the outlook for used car market ahead?
Thank you.
Thank you for your question. Since the beginning of this year, the used car market has generally shown a trend of rising transaction volume and the folding prices. According to China Automobile Dealers Association, CADA, for the first half, the transaction volume for used cars rose 2% year over year, while the average transaction price decreased by 12% year over year. At the same time, we see there are two notable structural trends emerged in the market. First is the increased cross-regional flows. Second is the rapidly increasing NEV use cars sale
that交易规模 扩大的时候 同时呢 其实行业的 经营压力 并没有减少 由于车市 价格战的影响 二手车企业的 亏损面呢 扩大是超过七成 平均库存的周期 还在延长 扩客成本 依然是居高不下的 竞争也非常同质化 但尽管如此呢 我们也看到 就是一些 积极的因素 也出来了 比如说 已就换新的政策呢 还激活了 这个置换需求 就市场
While the transaction volumes are expanding, the operational pressures in the industry continue to intensify. due to the impact of price wars in the auto market, we see the proportion of loss-making used car companies has expanded to over 70% with lessening average inventory cycles, continued high customer acquisition costs, and intensified homogeneous competition, et cetera. But despite this, positive factors do remain. For example, the trade-in policies have stimulated replacement demand and brought more high-quality used cars into the market, with the new energy used cars becoming a key growth engine. So the CADA forecast for the full year, the used car transaction volume could exceed 20.5 million units, an increase of 4 to 5 percent year over year. 以步入深度调整与价值链重构的关键阶段 以价换量模式的负面影响也是逐渐的显现 不过中国汽车市场庞大的保有量与消费的韧性 为二手车行业的中长期发展提供了有力的支持 汽车之家也将继续携手行业伙伴 通过精细化运营与服务升级的积极应对挑战 探索新业态 挖掘新价值 推动二手车行业迈向高质量的发展 Currently, the used car sector has entered a crucial stage of deep adjustment and value chain reconstruction. The negative impact from the price cutting for volume model are gradually becoming apparent. However, China's large vehicle ownership space and a resident consumer demand provides strong support for the middle to long-term development of the used car industry. So, AutoHome will continue to collaborate with industry partners to actively address challenges through refined operations and service upgrades, exploring new business models, unlocking new value to advance the used car industry towards high-quality development.
