(“36Kr” or the “Company” or “We”) (NASDAQ: KRKR), a prominent brand and a pioneering platform dedicated to serving New Economy participants in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter 2021 ended September 30, 2021.
Third Quarter 2021 Operational and Financial Highlights
| ● | Average monthly page views (“PV”) for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2021 increased by 49.9% to 848.7 million, from 566.3 million for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2020. |

| ● | Revenues from enterprise value-added services were RMB22.5 million (US$3.5 million) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB66.4 million in the same period of 2020. Gross transaction value1 was RMB66.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB66.4 million in the same period of 2020. |
| ● | Revenues from subscription services increased by 51.6% to RMB9.0 million (US$1.4 million) in the third quarter of 2021, from RMB6.0 million in the same period of 2020. |

1 Starting from January 1, 2021, 36Kr recognized revenues of certain enterprise value-added services on a net basis, to reflect the fact that the Company continuously shifted focus towards higher margin businesses hence ceased to act as a principal in certain low gross margin businesses and only acted as an agent. To increase comparability of operating results and help investors better understand our business performance and operating trends, we introduced the gross transaction value as a supplemental metric to describe our business. Gross transaction value is defined as the value of executed confirmed orders for services provided for our customers.

We are pleased to have witnessed another quarter of strong growth in total user traffic, with average monthly PVs reaching a new high at 849 million for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2021, up 50% year-over-year, marking our 14th consecutive quarter of PV growth. Moreover, we achieved solid operational performance in a relatively challenging environment, illustrating our businesses’ resilience and vitality. Looking ahead, we believe that we are well poised to further broaden 36Kr’s commercialization path and empower more enterprises by capitalizing on the rapid rise of hardcore technologies, the new wave of digital transformation, the concept of metaverse, as well as the development of the Beijing Stock Exchange as we are the go-to partner for hundreds and thousands of New Economy companies in China.”
Ms. Lin Wei, chief financial officer of 36Kr, stated, “We delivered solid financial results across all of our business segments in the third quarter of 2021 despite multiple headwinds including COVID-19 resurgences and macroeconomic challenges. We were also able to gradually achieve a more balanced revenue mix as we tirelessly expand our enterprise value added services and subscription services. In addition, as we continued to shift our resources and focus on higher margin businesses, gross profit and gross profit margin both improved year-over-year in the third quarter of 2021. Notably, we ended the third quarter with a strong cash position as we achieved positive cash flow through the virtuous cycle of our business operations. Going forward, we will continue to solidify our industry presence and expand our monetization approaches to cultivate sustainable and long-term growth.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Total revenues were RMB84.9 million (US$13.2 million) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB123.5 million in the same period of 2020.
| · | Online advertising services revenues increased by 4.4% to RMB53.4 million (US$8.3 million) in the third quarter of 2021, from RMB51.1 million in the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to more innovative marketing solutions we provided to our customers. The number of advertising customers and the average revenue per advertising customer both increased in the third quarter of 2021. |
| · | Enterprise value-added services revenues were RMB22.5 million (US$3.5 million) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB66.4 million in the same period of 2020. The decrease was primarily because we continuously shifted our focus towards higher margin businesses and starting from the first quarter of 2021, we ceased to act as a principal in certain low gross margin businesses and only acted as an agent. As a result, revenues of such businesses were recognized on a net basis from the first quarter of 2021 onward. To increase comparability of operating results and help investors better understand our business performance and operating trends, we introduced the gross transaction value as a supplemental metric to describe our business. Gross transaction value of enterprise value-added services was RMB66.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB66.4 million in the same period of 2020. |
| · | Subscription services revenues were RMB9.0 million (US$1.4 million) in the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 51.6% compared to RMB6.0 million in the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to our continuous efforts to offer high-quality subscription products to our subscribers. |
Cost of revenues was RMB37.3 million (US$5.8 million) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB76.6 million in the same period of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to our continuous shift in focus towards higher margin businesses and recognition of certain revenues on a net basis. For more details, please refer to the aforementioned information in terms of enterprise value-added services revenues.
Gross profit was RMB47.6 million (US$7.4 million) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB46.8 million in the same period of 2020. Gross profit margin was 56.1% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 37.9% in the same period of 2020, the increase was primarily due to our continuous shift in focus towards higher margin businesses.
Operating expenses were RMB80.3 million (US$12.5 million) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB63.2 million in the same period of 2020.
| · | Sales and marketing expenses were RMB35.5 million (US$5.5 million) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB31.6 million in the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in payroll-related expenses. |
| · | General and administrative expenses were RMB30.9 million (US$4.8 million) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB20.5 million in the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the allowance for credit losses and payroll-related expenses, partially offset by the decrease in share-based compensation expenses. |
| · | Research and development expenses were RMB13.9 million (US$2.2 million) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB11.2 million in the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in payroll-related expenses as we bolstered our research and development capabilities. |
Share-based compensation expenses recognized in cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, as well as general and administrative expenses totaled RMB4.9 million (US$0.8 million) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB4.6 million in the same period of 2020.
3
Other income was RMB1.5 million (US$0.2 million) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to other income of RMB2.5 million in the same period of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to less government grant received in the third quarter of 2021.
Income tax expenses was RMB14 thousand (US$2 thousand) in the third quarter of 2021, compared to income tax expense of RMB21 thousand in the same period of 2020.

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.
