Insights

KANZHUN reports strong Q2 with 70.4% profit growth, announces first dividend and $250M buyback program.

KANZHUN LIMITED's Q2 2025 financial results demonstrate robust growth across all key metrics. The company delivered RMB2,102.4 million ($293.5 million) in revenue, a 9.7% year-over-year increase, primarily driven by expansion in its enterprise customer base, which grew 10.2% to 6.5 million paid enterprise customers.

What's particularly impressive is the substantial profit growth. Income from operations surged 81.6% to RMB651.2 million ($90.9 million), while net income jumped 70.4% to RMB711.2 million ($99.3 million). This significant profit expansion amid moderate revenue growth highlights exceptional operational efficiency improvements.

The company achieved these results through effective cost management, with total operating costs decreasing 7.2% year-over-year. Notable reductions came in sales and marketing expenses (down 23.0%) and research and development costs (down 6.2%). This demonstrates the platform's increasing efficiency and natural operating leverage as it scales.

The user metrics are equally strong, with monthly active users increasing 16.5% to 63.6 million. This user growth outpacing revenue growth suggests the company is successfully expanding its ecosystem but has additional monetization potential to capture.

In a significant move for shareholders, KANZHUN announced its first-ever dividend policy with an annual dividend of $0.168 per ADS, totaling approximately $80 million. Additionally, the company authorized a $250 million share repurchase program through August 2026. These shareholder-friendly actions signal management's confidence in the company's financial health and future prospects.

The company also completed a secondary listing in Hong Kong, raising approximately HK$2.2 billion to diversify its investor base. Combined with the RMB16,021.8 million ($2.24 billion) cash position, KANZHUN has substantial financial flexibility to fund growth initiatives while returning capital to shareholders.

For Q3 2025, management forecasts revenue between RMB2.13-2.16 billion, representing 11.4-13.0% year-over-year growth, suggesting continued momentum. The acceleration in revenue growth projection from Q2's 9.7% to Q3's 11.4-13.0% indicates strengthening business conditions in China's recruitment market.
