Mr. Eric Long Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of ZKH, stated, “In the fourth quarter, we achieved accelerated year-over-year GMV and revenue growth and returned to profitability,
closing the year on a strong note. This performance marks the start of a fundamentally healthier, more resilient growth phase for the
Company. Our momentum was powered by a broad-based expansion of our customer base, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs) underpinned by an increasingly diverse product portfolio, a stronger supplier network, and enhanced fulfillment capabilities. Notably,
our ongoing investments in AI are already delivering measurable commercial impact and meaningful productivity gains across our operations.
With a solid foundation and durable growth drivers firmly in place, we are well positioned to deliver sustainable, high-quality growth
over the long term.”
1
GMV is the total transaction value of orders placed on the Company’s platform and shipped to customers, excluding taxes, net of
the returned amount.
2
The marketplace model accounted for 14.3% of GMV in the fourth quarter and 12.9% for full year 2025, compared with 13.6% and 18.6% in
the corresponding periods of 2024.
3
Customers are customers that transacted with the Company during the reporting period, mainly comprised of enterprise customers in various
industries.
4
Non-GAAP EBITDA is defined as net profit/(loss) before interest expenses, income tax expenses/(benefits) and depreciation and amortization
expenses.
5
Non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/profit is defined as net (loss)/profit excluding share-based compensation expenses.
Mr. Max Chun Chiu Lai, Chief Financial Officer
of ZKH, added, “We delivered solid revenue growth and achieved profitability on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis during the fourth
quarter, marking a significant improvement in our earnings profile. Operational efficiency continued to improve, with disciplined cost
management, expanding scale and broader AI adoption driving down operating expenses year-over-year in both absolute terms and as a percentage
of revenue. At the same time, an expanding SME customer base and the growing contribution from private-label products are strengthening
our margin foundation. Looking ahead, we remain focused on enhancing operational efficiency and driving profitability to build a more
resilient, sustainable foundation for future growth.”
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Business
Highlights
| · | Business Momentum. Following proactive
strategic optimization implemented over the past several quarters, the Company’s operating performance showed clear signs of inflection
point in the second half of 2025. Overall GMV largely recovered to prior-year levels in the third quarter, and accelerated in the fourth
quarter on a year-over-year basis. This performance was supported by continued expansion across both SME and key accounts segments. GMV
from SME customers on the ZKH platform sustained strong double-digit growth in the fourth quarter, while certain SOE customers previously
impacted by strategic optimization returned to year-over-year growth and achieved a sequential expansion of over 20%. |
| · | Product Capabilities. The Company added
more than 5.7 million sellable SKUs during the year, bringing the total to approximately 23 million and further expanding coverage of
professional MRO categories such as fasteners, factory automation components, chemical reagents, and test instruments. At the same time,
higher-margin private-label products accounted for approximately 8.3% of total GMV in 2025, up from 6.7% in 2024, with 349 new products
launched during the quarter. |
| · | Fulfillment Network. The Company continued
to optimize its multi-tier fulfillment infrastructure to enhance operational efficiency and service capabilities. The Company established
a new Chengdu (成都) chemical warehouse in the fourth quarter. The fulfillment network now comprises 30 distribution centers
and more than 100 transit warehouses, supported by over 200 self-operated delivery vehicles and more than 5,500 EVM smart vending machines
deployed at customer production sites. Through-warehouse fulfillment fees fell for the eighth consecutive quarter, decreasing by approximately
13% year-over-year, reflecting continued improvements in the Company’s warehousing efficiency. |
| · | AI Capabilities. The Company continued
to execute on its AI strategy, embedding AI more deeply across operations and accelerating the translation of technological innovation
into tangible commercial value. |
| ○ | At the data layer, the Company’s proprietary data assets expanded to petabyte scale, supporting
the Company’s AI model with billions of parameters and providing a robust foundation for ongoing AI development. In 2025, token
usage nearly doubled, with monthly usage exceeding 80 billion tokens, reflecting the rapid scaling of AI-powered capabilities across the
Company’s operations. Looking ahead, the Company expects token usage to increase by at least tenfold over the next two to three
years. Meanwhile, the average cost per million tokens decreased year over year, driven by ongoing improvements in infrastructure efficiency. |
| ○ | At the model layer, the Company launched the industry’s first MRO vertical large language model,
“H-Nimble (行家玲珑)”, in 2025, which completed regulatory filing with the Cyberspace Administration
of China in September. |
| ○ | At the application layer, AI has been increasingly embedded into core business workflows, supporting both
revenue generation and operational efficiency improvements. Key applications include: |
| - | The ProductRecom Agent (AI推品大脑), launched in the fourth quarter of 2024, served
more than 30,000 customers in 2025 and generated over RMB200 million in cumulative sales by improving supply and demand matching and conversion
efficiency. |
| - | The Company deployed more than 5,000 robotic process automation (RPA) digital employees, which exceeded
the size of its human workforce and have become core infrastructure supporting scalable intelligent operations. Together, they saved a
substantial amount of labor hours during the year. |
| - | The AI Smart Workbench (AI智能工作台) significantly reduced cross-system
manual operations and enabled the transition of business processes from a high-touch to a low-touch operating model. In 2025, the AI Smart
Workbench autonomously executed more than 520,000 system operations and improved productivity in process-intensive roles, with customer
service and procurement productivity up approximately 45% and 50%, respectively, year over year. |
| · | International Expansion. Capitalizing
on the overseas expansion of Chinese manufacturers, the Company’s international business delivered approximately 50% sequential
GMV growth and a 20% increase in customer count during the quarter. Global fulfillment coverage now extends to 17 countries. |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release
contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/profit,
non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/profit per ADS, basic and diluted, and non-GAAP
EBITDA. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from or construed as
alternatives to their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures in reconciliation to their
most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
The Company defines
non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/profit for a specific period as net loss in the same period excluding
share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expenses, income tax expenses/(benefits)
and depreciation and amortization expenses. Non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/profit per ADS is calculated by dividing adjusted net (loss)/profit
attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
during the periods and then multiplied by 35.
The Company presents these non-GAAP financial
measures because they are used by the management to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and formulate business plans. The
Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted
by the effect of certain expenses that are included in net loss and certain expenses that are not expected to result in future cash payments
or that are non-recurring in nature. The Company also believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’
assessment of its operating performance, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allows for
greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management in financial and operational decision making.
The non-GAAP financial measures have material
limitations as analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies. The Company’s non-GAAP financial
measures do not include all income and expense items that affect the Company’s operations. They may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider the non-GAAP financial measures
as substitutes for, or superior to, their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company encourages
investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial
measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
