NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. In evaluating our business, we have considered and used certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP operating (loss) profit, Non-GAAP operating (loss) profit 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 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 financial 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 financial measures may differ from those 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.

IDC costs increased by 24.6% year-over-year from RMB1,525.9 million to RMB1,901.2 million (US$280.2 million) in the first half of 2026.

Depreciation and amortization costs increased by 91.6% from RMB930.5 million to RMB1,782.6 million (US$262.7 million) in the first half of 2026.

| · | General and administrative expenses were RMB335.0 million (US$49.4 million), compared with RMB521.6 million in the same period of 2025. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of credit loss expenses and share-based compensation. |

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board is committed to achieving high corporate governance standards. The Board believes that high corporate governance standards are essential in providing a framework for the Company to safeguard the interests of shareholders of the Company and to enhance corporate value and accountability.
Compliance with the Corporate Governance Code
Save as disclosed below, during the Reporting Period, we have complied with the code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code (the “CG Code”) set forth in Appendix C1 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Hong Kong Listing Rules”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Stock Exchange”).
Pursuant to code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. On March 25, 2026, Mr. Zou Tao, the acting chief executive officer of the Company (the “acting CEO”) was appointed as the chairman of the Board (the “Chairman”). The Board believes that it is in the interests of the Company to vest the roles of both the Chairman and the acting CEO in the same person, so as to provide consistent leadership within the Group and facilitate the prompt execution of the Group’s business strategies and boost operation effectiveness. The Board also believes that the balance of power and authority under this arrangement will not be impaired as it is adequately ensured by the Board which comprises experienced and high-calibre individuals (including non-executive Directors and independent non-executive Directors). The Board will periodically review and consider the effectiveness of this arrangement by taking into account the circumstances of the Group as a whole.
Compliance with the Model Code
The Company has adopted an Insider Dealing Policy (the “Insider Dealing Policy”) with terms no less exacting than that of the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers set out in Appendix C3 to the Hong Kong Listing Rules (the “Model Code”), as its own securities dealing code to regulate all dealings by Directors, officers and employees of the Company.
Specific enquiry has been made of all the Directors and the relevant employees and they have confirmed that they have complied with the Insider Dealing Policy and the Model Code during the Reporting Period.
14
Purchase, Sale or Redemption of the Company’s Listed Securities
During the Reporting Period, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased, sold, or redeemed any of the Company’s listed securities (including sale of treasury shares (as defined under the Hong Kong Listing Rules)).
As of June 30, 2026, there were no treasury shares (as defined under the Hong Kong Listing Rules) held by the Company.
Material Litigation
The Company was not involved in any material litigation or arbitration during the Reporting Period which may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s operation. The Directors are also not aware of any such material litigation or claims that were pending or threatened against the Group during the Reporting Period.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee comprises three independent non-executive Directors, being Mr. Yu Mingto, Mr. Wang Hang and Ms. Qu Jingyuan, with Mr. Yu Mingto (being one of the independent non-executive Directors with the appropriate professional qualifications) as the chairman of the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee has reviewed the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Audit Committee has agreed on the accounting policies and practices adopted by the Company and discussed matters with respect to financial reporting matters with senior management members of the Company.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands of Renminbi (“RMB”) and U.S. dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares and per share data)
| 1. | CORPORATE INFORMATION |
Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 3, 2012. The Company, its subsidiaries, its variable interest entities (“VIEs”), and subsidiaries of its variable interest entities are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of cloud services. The Company does not conduct any substantive operations on its own but instead conducts its primary business operations through its subsidiaries, the variable interest entities, and subsidiaries of its variable interest entities, which are located in Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong (“HK”), Japan and the United States (the “U.S.”).
The Company completed its IPO and follow-on offering on Nasdaq in May and September 2020, respectively and completed its listing by way of introduction on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) in December 2022. The Company completed the follow-on offering of American Depositary shares and ordinary shares in April and October 2025, and the concurrent private placement to Kingsoft Corporation Limited in June 2025.
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| (a) | Basis of presentation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in RMB and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when otherwise indicated.
| (b) | Going concern consideration |
The Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on a going concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Group incurred net loss of RMB436,697 (US$64,363). As of June 30, 2026, the Group had an accumulated deficit and net current assets of RMB15,684,766 (US$2,311,648) and RMB120,701 (US$17,790), respectively. The Group has primarily funded the operations as well as the capital expenditures through revenue generated from contracts with customers, equity financing, and proceeds from financing facilities such as borrowings from third parties and related parties.
22
In view of the operating loss of the Group and the significant capital expenditures required for the expansion of operations of the Group, management has given careful consideration to the future liquidity and performance of the Group and its available sources of financing in assessing whether the Group will have sufficient financial resources to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2026, the Group had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of RMB4,729,293 (US$697,012). In addition, the Group had existing credit facilities available from banks and other financial institutions to finance the future operations and capital expenditures of the Group.
Based on above, management believes that the going concern basis of preparation is supported. Therefore, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
| (c) | Principles of consolidation |
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIEs, and subsidiaries of the VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
| (d) | Use of estimates |
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets, impairment of goodwill and impairment of long-lived assets. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
| (e) | Convenience translation |
Amounts in U.S. dollars are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of RMB6.7851 per US$1.00 on June 30, 2026 in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at such rate.
| (f) | Segment reporting |
The Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer who reviews the consolidated results of operations when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group as a whole and hence, the Group has only one operating segment. The CODM uses consolidated net loss to assess financial performance and allocate resources. The CODM considers budget to actual comparisons of consolidated net loss on a regular basis when assessing the operating results and making resource decisions to improve profitability. The CODM also uses the budget to actual comparisons of consolidated net loss to make decisions aligned with the Group’s strategic initiatives and capital allocation priorities. Significant expenses reviewed by the CODM include those that are presented in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
A majority of the Group’s revenues were generated from Chinese Mainland and a majority of the long-lived assets of the Group are located in Chinese Mainland, and therefore, no geographical segments are presented.

| (a) | Enterprise income tax |
Cayman Islands
Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company is not subject to tax on income or capital gains.
Hong Kong
The subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong are subject to income tax at the rate of 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits arising in Hong Kong. For the periods presented, the Group did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as the Group did not generate any assessable profits arising in Hong Kong at the end of each reporting period. Under the Hong Kong tax law, the subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted from income tax on their foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.
Chinese Mainland
The Group’s Chinese Mainland entities are subject to the statutory income tax rate of 25%, in accordance with the Enterprise Income Tax law (the “EIT Law”), which was effective since January 1, 2008. Certain subsidiaries of the Group being qualified as a High New Technology Enterprise (“HNTE”) are entitled to the preferential income tax rate of 15%. Dividends, interests, rent or royalties payable by the Group’s Chinese Mainland entities to non-resident enterprises, and proceeds from any such non-resident enterprise investor’s disposition of assets (after deducting the net value of such assets) shall be subject to 10% EIT, namely withholding tax, unless the respective non-resident enterprise’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty or arrangements with Chinese Mainland that provides for a reduced withholding tax rate or an exemption from withholding tax.
