Our full-year revenue grew 2% year-over-year and net income reached RMB23 million, marking our first full-year profit since our listing. These strong results were driven by our continuous innovation in New Economy-focused content, product and services, which also elevated our ever-growing influence and value proposition to our consumers. As of the end of 2022, the number of our followers exceeded 28 million, representing an increase of 23% year-over-year. Moreover, our new application-level product, 36Kr Enterprise Service Review platform, continued to see a robust uptick across multiple operating metrics and growing commercialization momentum. As we embark on 2023, we will remain focused on enriching our content ecosystem and product matrix, fueling our efforts to seize the New Economy’s tremendous growth potential. We believe that our firm fundamentals have positioned us to propel the Company to even greater heights and unlock more value in 2023 and beyond.”
Ms. Lin Wei, Chief Financial Officer of 36Kr, added, “Our solid financial performance in fiscal year 2022 is a testament to our businesses' resilience and vitality given the COVID-19 resurgences and macro uncertainties during the year. We managed to grow our top-line on a full-year basis while maintaining our gross margin at a relatively stable level, against the backdrop of various external challenges and complications. Notably, we also achieved our first full-year profitability since our IPO as we refined our revenue mix, cost structure and operational efficiency, as well as our investment rationale. Heading into 2023, we will continue to amplify our core competitive advantages, expand our product and service offerings and explore greater monetization potential, reaffirming our longstanding commitment to creating sustainable value for our shareholders and society.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses two non-GAAP measures, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of these two 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. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates investors' assessment of its 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.
The Company compensates 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 the Company performance. The Company encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Adjusted net loss represents net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net income/(loss) before interest income, interest expenses, income tax expense/(credit), depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this press release.
