Insights

Mixed Q3 2025: modest revenue growth, shrinking profits, stronger rental and share buybacks offset by lower margins.

Revenue rose to RMB23.1 billion (+2.1%), driven by a 45.3% increase in home rental revenues to RMB5.7 billion, while new home transaction revenue fell and GTV was flat at RMB736.7 billion. The company expanded scale: active agents rose to 471,501 and stores to 61,393, while MAU averaged 49.3 million.

Profitability contracted: net income fell to RMB747 million (down 36.1%) and gross margin slipped to 21.4% from 22.7%, reflecting lower contribution from higher‑margin transaction services and absorption of fixed compensation. Operating expenses improved slightly, but adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income both declined year‑over‑year.

Key dependencies and near‑term monitors include continued traction in home rental profitability (management cites >RMB100 million profit contribution), the pace and economics of connected vs. Lianjia channel monetization, margin recovery in transaction services, and cash deployment: the company repurchased ~US$281 million in the quarter and ~US$2.3 billion since program start. Watch quarterly GTV mix between existing and new homes, adjusted operating margin, and cash balances over the next 4-8 quarters.

Mr. Stanley Yongdong Peng, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Beike, commented, “In the third quarter of 2025, we continued to explore ways to improve operational efficiency and enhance customer experience through organizational optimization, process restructuring, and technological innovation. In our home transaction services, we launched a pilot program in Shanghai featuring a ‘buyer-seller agent specialization’ mechanism, helping sell-side agents strengthen their capabilities in marketing and selling properties. In our home rental services, we are deeply integrating AI into our operations, with AI empowering the entire service providers’ workflows and customer experience. This business contributed over RMB100 million in profit in the third quarter of 2025.”

“Continuous innovation is key to navigating industry cycles. Through these efforts, we have identified a new path to growth—one that restructures our operating model with technology and drives scale expansion through efficiency. Looking ahead, we will accelerate the deep integration of AI capabilities into our core business scenarios to achieve dual improvement in experiences for both service providers and customers,” concluded Mr. Peng.

Mr. Tao Xu, Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of Beike, added, “In the third quarter of 2025, GTV of existing home transactions grew steadily, and the monetization capability of our new home transaction services remained robust. Both home renovation and furnishing business and home rental services achieved city-level profitability before deducting headquarters expenses, with their combined contribution profit to the Company’s total gross profit reaching a record high. Our operational efficiency further improved. The operating expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB4.3 billion, down 1.8% year-over-year and 6.7% quarter-over-quarter.

With robust cash reserves, we reward our shareholders through consistently active share repurchase. In the third quarter of 2025, we allocated US$281 million to share repurchases, with the single-quarter share repurchase spending reaching its highest level in the past two years. As of the end of the third quarter of 2025, we repurchased around US$675 million worth of shares this year, up 15.7% year-over-year, which accounted for around 3% of the Company’s total shares outstanding at the end of 2024. Since the launch of our share repurchase program in September 2022, we have repurchased around US$2.3 billion worth of shares as of the end of September this year, accounting for about 11.5% of our total issued shares before the program began.

We will keep proactively optimizing the business structure, strengthening technology empowerment, and enhancing shareholder returns, so as to generate greater value for investors over the long term.”

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues increased by 2.1% to RMB23.1 billion (US$3.2 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB22.6 billion in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the increase of the growth of net revenues from home rental services, which is partially offset by the decrease of net revenues from new home and existing home transaction services.

  • Net revenues from existing home transaction services were RMB6.0 billion (US$0.8 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, decreased by 3.6% from RMB6.2 billion in the same period of 2024. GTV of existing home transactions increased by 5.8% to RMB505.6 billion (US$71.0 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB477.8 billion in the same period of 2024. The higher growth rate in GTV compared to net revenues in existing home transaction services was primarily attributable to a higher contribution from GTV of existing home transaction services served by connected agents on the Company’s platform, for which revenue is recorded on a net basis from platform service, franchise service and other value-added services, while for GTV served by Lianjia brand, the revenue is recorded on a gross commission revenue basis.

    Among that, (i) commission revenue was RMB4.8 billion (US$0.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, compared to RMB5.1 billion in the same period of 2024, while the GTV of existing home transactions served by Lianjia stores decreased by 2.3% to RMB190.0 billion (US$26.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB194.5 billion in the same period of 2024; and

    (ii) revenues derived from platform service, franchise service and other value-added services, which are mostly charged to connected stores and agents on the Company’s platform increased by 2.7% to RMB1,197 million (US$168 million) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB1,165 million in the same period of 2024, mainly due to an increase of GTV of existing home transactions served by connected agents on the Company’s platform of 11.4% to RMB315.6 billion (US$44.3 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB283.3 billion in the same period of 2024, partially offset by the decrease in revenues from certain value-added services which were not directly driven by the GTV of existing home transactions served by connected agents and incentive-based reductions in platform service and franchise service fees for connected stores.
  • Net revenues from new home transaction services decreased by 14.1% to RMB6.6 billion (US$0.9 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB7.7 billion in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the decrease of GTV of new home transactions of 13.7% to RMB196.3 billion (US$27.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB227.6 billion in the same period of 2024. Among that, the GTV of new home transactions facilitated on Beike platform through connected agents, dedicated sales team with the expertise on new home transaction services and other sales channels decreased by 12.4% to RMB160.3 billion (US$22.5 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB183.0 billion in the same period of 2024, and the GTV of new home transactions served by Lianjia brand decreased by 19.2% to RMB36.0 billion (US$5.1 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB44.5 billion in the same period of 2024.

  • Net revenues from home renovation and furnishing were RMB4.3 billion (US$0.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, relatively flat compared with RMB4.2 billion in the same period of 2024.

  • Net revenues from home rental services increased by 45.3% to RMB5.7 billion (US$0.8 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB3.9 billion in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the increase of the number of rental units under the Carefree Rent model.

  • Net revenues from emerging and other services were RMB0.4 billion (US$0.06 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, compared to RMB0.5 billion in the same period of 2024.

Cost of Revenues

Total cost of revenues increased by 3.8% to RMB18.1 billion (US$2.5 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB17.4 billion in the same period of 2024.

  • Commission – split. The Company’s cost of revenues for commissions to connected agents and other sales channels decreased by 11.5% to RMB4.6 billion (US$0.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, from RMB5.2 billion in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in GTV of new home transactions facilitated through connected agents and other sales channels.

  • Commission and compensation – internal. The Company’s cost of revenues for internal commission and compensation decreased by 3.7% to RMB4.2 billion (US$0.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB4.4 billion in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in commission of new home transaction services for Lianjia agents and operation staff of new home transaction services, resulting from the decreased GTV of new home transactions they served by.

  • Cost of home renovation and furnishing. The Company’s cost of revenues for home renovation and furnishing was RMB2.9 billion (US$0.4 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, relatively flat compared with RMB2.9 billion in the same period of 2024, which was in line with the trend of net revenues from home renovation and furnishing.

  • Cost of home rental services. The Company’s cost of revenues for home rental services which mainly consists of variable cost, increased by 38.8% to RMB5.2 billion (US$0.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB3.8 billion in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the growth of net revenues from home rental services.

  • Cost related to stores. The Company’s cost related to stores decreased by 5.8% to RMB663 million (US$93 million) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB703 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the decreased number of Lianjia stores.

  • Other costs. The Company’s other costs were RMB484 million (US$68 million) in the third quarter of 2025, compared with RMB502 million in the same period of 2024.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased by 3.9% to RMB4.9 billion (US$0.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB5.1 billion in the same period of 2024. Gross margin decreased to 21.4% in the third quarter of 2025 from 22.7% in the same period of 2024, primarily due to a) reduced contribution of net revenues from existing home and new home transaction services, which historically carried higher contribution margins than the overall gross margin; and b) a drop in contribution margin of existing home transaction services, which was primarily due to deteriorated fixed compensation costs absorption rates for Lianjia agents caused by lower net revenues in this segment. The decline in gross margin was partially offset by the increased contribution margin of home rental services.

Income from Operations

Total operating expenses were RMB4.3 billion (US$0.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, relatively flat compared with RMB4.4 billion in the same period of 2024.

  • General and administrative expenses were RMB1.9 billion (US$0.3 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, relatively flat compared with RMB1.9 billion in the same period of 2024.

  • Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 10.7% to RMB1.7 billion (US$0.2 billion) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB1.9 billion in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in personnel costs for home renovation and furnishing and the decreased advertising and promotion expenses.

  • Research and development expenses increased by 13.2% to RMB648 million (US$91 million) in the third quarter of 2025 from RMB573 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the increased headcount of research and development personnel.

Income from operations was RMB608 million (US$85 million) in the third quarter of 2025, compared to RMB727 million in the same period of 2024. Operating margin decreased to 2.6% in the third quarter of 2025 from 3.2% in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the decreased gross profit margin, which was partially offset by the improved operating leverage.

Adjusted income from operations6 was RMB1,173 million (US$165 million) in the third quarter of 2025, compared to RMB1,363 million in the same period of 2024. Adjusted operating margin7 was 5.1% in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 6.0% in the same period of 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) per ADS attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and formulating its business plan. Beike believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that the Company includes in its net income (loss). Beike also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about its results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in formulating its business plan. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to gross profit, net income (loss) or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. Beike encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is defined as income (loss) from operations, excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and business cooperation agreement, and (iii) impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets.
