Insights

Financial Analyst

Kingsoft Cloud shows 24.2% revenue growth driven by AI, but widening losses raise concerns about profitability timeline.

Kingsoft Cloud delivered strong top-line growth with revenues reaching RMB2,349.2 million ($327.9 million), up 24.2% year-over-year. The company's growth engine is clearly its AI business, where gross billings surged by over 120% to RMB728.7 million, now accounting for 44.8% of public cloud services revenue. The Xiaomi ecosystem partnership is also paying dividends with 69.5% year-over-year growth.

Despite revenue expansion, there are concerning trends in profitability metrics. The adjusted gross margin contracted to 14.9% from 17.1% a year ago, primarily due to higher server costs for AI infrastructure and upfront investments for future revenue. Operating loss widened to RMB327.0 million compared to RMB277.6 million in Q2 2024, while net loss increased to RMB456.9 million from RMB353.7 million.

The bright spot is Non-GAAP EBITDA, which improved dramatically by 570.1% to RMB406.0 million, with margin expanding to 17.3% from just 3.2% a year ago. This suggests the underlying business economics are improving despite increased investments.

Cash position strengthened significantly to RMB5,464.1 million ($762.8 million) from RMB2,322.7 million in the previous quarter, bolstered by a public equity offering, private placement to Kingsoft Corporation, and customer prepayments. This provides substantial runway for continued AI investments.

The increased credit loss expenses and rising interest expenses from financing server acquisitions warrant attention as they contributed to the widening net loss. While the company is clearly prioritizing growth over short-term profitability, the path to sustainable positive earnings remains uncertain despite the improved EBITDA metrics.

BEIJING, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.

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.

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.
