Kingsoft Cloud Announces Unaudited Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Limited ("Kingsoft Cloud" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: KC and HKEX: 3896), a leading cloud service provider in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Mr. Tao Zou, Chief Executive Officer of Kingsoft Cloud, commented, "We resume our growth momentum this quarter, with total revenue increased by 24.2% year-over-year to achieve RMB2,349.2 million. AI is still a dominant driver for our revenue growth and this quarter our gross billing of AI business increased by over 120% year-over-year to RMB728.7 million, accounting for 44.8% of our public cloud services. As AI technology enabler, we provide turnkey solutions to customers from computing resources, PaaS platforms to applications. Meanwhile, we have maintained our healthy cooperation with Xiaomi – Kingsoft Ecosystem, evidenced by a 69.5% year-over-year revenue growth to reach RMB628.9 million from ecosystem customers this quarter and reach RMB1,125.0 million in the first half, representing a 40% completion of the continued connected transaction cap amount in the first half of 2025. We reaffirmed our confidence and fully commitment into our AI related investment and high-quality and sustainable business development."
Ms. Yi Li, Chief Financial Officer of Kingsoft Cloud, added, "Our revenue increased by 24.2% year-over-year, achieving RMB2,349.2 million for the second quarter. Among this, our revenue from public cloud services increased significantly by 31.7% year-over-year to RMB1,625.3 million. Our adjusted gross profit was RMB350.6 million, which increased by 8.4% year-over-year and 7.0% quarter-over-quarter. Adjusted gross margin was 14.9% in this quarter, compared with 17.1% in the second quarter 2024 and 16.6% in the first quarter this year. The decrease was primarily due to the higher cost of servers along with the expansion of our AI business, and the upfront costs incurred for certain customers for its future revenue activity. Our adjusted EBITDA profit achieved RMB406.0 million, increased by 570.1% year-over-year. Our adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.3%, increased by 14.1 percentage points, demonstrating our optimized revenue structure and a strong costs and expenses control.
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total Revenues reached RMB2,349.2 million (US$327.91 million), increased by 24.2% year-over-year from RMB1,891.8 million in the same quarter of 2024 and increased by 19.3% quarter-over-quarter from RMB1,970.0 million in the first quarter of 2025.

The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the growth of AI demands, as the AI gross billing reached RMB728.7 million (US$101.7 million), and partially offset by our proactive decrease of CDN services.
Revenues from enterprise cloud services were RMB723.9 million (US$101.0 million), representing an increase of 10.1% from RMB657.2 million in the same quarter of 2024 and an increase of 17.4% from RMB616.5 million last quarter.

Unless otherwise noted, the translation of RMB into US$ has been made at RMB7.1636 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on June 30, 2025 as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Cost of revenues was RMB2,010.4 million (US$280.6 million), representing an increase of 27.8% from RMB1,573.4 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was mainly due to our investment into AI computing resources. IDC costs increased by 10.3% year-over-year from RMB728.2 million to RMB803.1 million (US$112.1 million) this quarter. It was mainly due to the increasing demands for infrastructure, which was in line with our AI business expansion, as well as the basic computing and storage cloud demands brought by AI business. Depreciation and amortization costs increased from RMB265.9 million in the same quarter of 2024 to RMB552.0 million (US$77.1 million) this quarter. The increase was mainly due to the depreciation of newly acquired and leased servers which were allocated to AI business. Solution development and services costs increased by 14.8% year-over-year from RMB491.1 million in the same quarter of 2024 to RMB563.7 million (US$78.7 million) this quarter. The increase was mainly due to the solution personnel expansion of solution architecture and delivery. Fulfillment costs and other costs were RMB25.8 million (US$3.6 million) and RMB65.8 million (US$9.1 million) this quarter.
Gross profit was RMB338.9 million (US$47.3 million), representing an increase of 6.4% from RMB318.3 million in the same quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly due to the expansion of our higher margin profile AI business. Gross margin was 14.4%, compared with 16.8% in the same period in 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the higher cost of servers along with the expansion of AI business, as well as the upfront costs incurred for certain customer for its future revenue activity.

Operating loss was RMB327.0 million (US$45.6 million), compared with operating loss of RMB277.6 million in the same quarter of 2024 and RMB234.2 million last quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain non-GAAP measures, Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP operating loss, Non-GAAP operating loss margin, Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss margin, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding share-based compensation allocated in the cost of revenues, and we define Non-GAAP gross margin as Non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP operating loss as operating loss excluding share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets and we define Non-GAAP operating loss margin as Non-GAAP operating loss as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation and foreign exchange loss (gain), and we define Non-GAAP net loss margin as Non-GAAP net loss as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as Non-GAAP net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, and we define Non-GAAP EBITDA margin as Non-GAAP EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
We compensate for these limitations by reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
