  • Mobile monthly active users (MAU)5 averaged 45.4 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 39.7 million in the same period of 2022.

Mr. Stanley Yongdong Peng, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Beike, commented, “We are pleased to see a strong rebound emerging in the real estate market in China along with improving macroeconomic conditions. During the market’s recovery in the first quarter of 2023, we significantly outpaced the industry in GTV growth of both existing and new home transactions. Our outstanding performance was empowered by our hallmark advantages in ACN and our persistent support to service providers in good and tough times, as well as our efforts to transform to high-quality growth.”

“Looking to the future, we will unremittingly seek development and growth, fueled by our mission of ‘Admirable Service, Joyful Living,’ and driven by the unfilled needs of consumers in the residential services sector that we aspire to meet. Today, many consumers still yearn for higher quality homes and housing-related products and services. These needs are the mountain we set out to climb over the coming decade. We will continue to improve our capabilities to achieve development. We will strengthen our ACN to enhance collaboration and service quality and provide increased coverage of housing services. We will cultivate stronger brands while aiming to enhance the efficiency of our stores and service providers through better platform operations and technology advancement. Most importantly, we will never lose sight of our enduring commitment to doing the right thing and taking care of customers, which has rewarded us with positive feedback and will continue to inspire us to unceasingly move forward,” concluded Mr. Peng.

Mr. Tao Xu, Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of Beike, added, “For the first quarter of this year, China’s real estate market has staged a notable recovery, bolstered by favorable government policies coupled with the intensive release of pent-up housing demand from the pandemic. Benefiting from our better preservation of quality stores and agents during the market’s profound downturn and the effective promotion of refined operations, we proactively capitalized on market recovery tailwinds and the seasonal boom at the beginning of the year. As a result, our GTV growth significantly outperformed the market and our net revenues reached RMB20.3 billion, a 61.6% increase year-over-year. Moreover, our more streamlined cost and expense structure has led to a significant increase in single-quarter profitability, bringing about the highest gross margin and operating margin since our listing at The New York Stock Exchange. Our net income reached RMB2,750 million for the first quarter, compared to net loss of RMB620 million in the same period in 2022, while non-GAAP net income jumped to RMB3,561 million in the first quarter, compared with RMB28 million in the same period in 2022, and an increase of 137% compared to the first quarter of 2021 with a similar revenue scale. As we look ahead, on the basis of optimized costs and expenses structure, we will reap profits from efficiency and continue to foster high-quality growth. In the long-run, we will be more proactive with our initiatives that contribute to long-term growth and greater vision. In the vast market of residential services, we will fortify our foundation with quality at our core, and make relentless efforts to improve the working environment of service providers and bring a better housing service experience to consumers.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Net Revenues

Net revenues increased by 61.6% to RMB20.3 billion (US$3.0 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB12.5 billion in the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in total GTV. Total GTV grew by 65.8% to RMB971.5 billion (US$141.5 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB586.0 billion in the same period of 2022, which was primarily attributable to the release of pent-up housing demand after the pandemic situation eased and the improved housing market expectations against the backdrop of the macroeconomic recovery and the successive introduction of supportive policies, as well as the expansion of the Company’s home renovation and furnishing business.

  • Net revenues from existing home transaction services increased by 49.3% to RMB9.2 billion (US$1.3 billion) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to RMB6.2 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily attributable to the increase of the GTV of existing home transactions by 77.6% to RMB664.3 billion (US$96.7 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB374.1 billion in the same period of 2022.



    Among that, (i) commission revenue increased by 41.6% to RMB7.7 billion (US$1.1 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB5.5 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily due to an increase in GTV of existing home transactions served by Lianjia stores of 43.2% to RMB288.8 billion (US$42.0 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB201.7 billion in the same period of 2022; 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 111.0% to RMB1.4 billion (US$0.2 billion) in the first quarter of 2023, from RMB0.7 billion in the same period of 2022, mainly due to a 117.9% increase of GTV of existing home transactions served by connected agents on the Company’s platform to RMB375.5 billion (US$54.7 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB172.4 billion in the same period of 2022.

  • Net revenues from new home transaction services increased by 42.2% to RMB8.4 billion (US$1.2 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB5.9 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the increase of GTV of new home transactions of 44.2% to RMB277.9 billion (US$40.5 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB192.7 billion in the same period of 2022. Among that, the GTV of new home transactions completed on Beike platform through connected agents, dedicated sales team with the expertise on new home transaction services and other sales channels increased by 43.0% to RMB227.0 billion (US$33.1 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB158.8 billion in the same period of 2022, while the GTV of new home transactions served by Lianjia brand increased by 49.9% to RMB50.9 billion (US$7.4 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB33.9 billion in the same period of 2022.
  • Net revenues from home renovation and furnishing were RMB1.4 billion (US$0.2 billion) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to RMB88 million in the same period of 2022, primarily because the Company completed the acquisition (“Shengdu Acquisition”) of Shengdu Home Renovation Co., Ltd. (“Shengdu”), a full-service home renovation service provider in China, and began to consolidate its financial results during the second quarter of 2022, as well as the organic growth of the GTV for home renovation and furnishing business.
  • Net revenues from emerging and other services increased by 222.1% to RMB1.3 billion (US$0.2 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB0.4 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily attributable to the increase of net revenues from rental property management services and financial services.

Cost of Revenues

Total cost of revenues increased by 34.9% to RMB13.9 billion (US$2.0 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB10.3 billion in the same period of 2022.

  • Commission - split. The Company’s cost of revenues for commissions to connected agents and other sales channels was RMB6.5 billion (US$0.9 billion) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to RMB4.1 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the increase in GTV of new home transactions completed through connected agents and other sales channels in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the same period of 2022.
  • Commission and compensation - internal. The Company’s cost of revenues for internal commission and compensation was RMB5.4 billion (US$0.8 billion) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to RMB4.7 billion in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the increase in variable commission as a result of the increased GTV of existing home transactions and new home transactions completed through Lianjia agents, which was partially offset by the decrease in the fixed compensation costs of Lianjia agents, dedicated sales team with the expertise on new home transaction services and other front-line operational staff.
  • Cost of home renovation and furnishing. The Company’s cost of revenues for home renovation and furnishing was RMB1.0 billion (US$0.1 billion) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to RMB67 million in the same period of 2022, which was primarily attributable to the Shengdu Acquisition and the organic increase of net revenues from home renovation and furnishing.
  • Cost related to stores. The Company’s cost related to stores decreased by 22.4% to RMB0.7 billion (US$0.1 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 compared to RMB0.9 billion in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the decrease in the number of Lianjia stores in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.
  • Other costs. The Company’s other costs decreased to RMB424 million (US$62 million) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB516 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to a decrease in human resources related costs.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by 186.1% to RMB6.3 billion (US$0.9 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB2.2 billion in the same period of 2022. Gross margin was 31.3% in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 17.7% in the same period of 2022. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to: a) a higher contribution margin for existing home transaction services led by the increased net revenues from existing home transaction services and the decreased fixed compensation costs for Lianjia agents; b) a higher contribution margin for new home transaction services as a result of an increased number of projects with higher margins, and a relatively lower percentage of fixed compensation costs of net revenues from new home transaction services; c) a higher contribution margin for home renovation and furnishing business led by an increased contribution from products and services with higher margins; and d) a relatively lower percentage of costs related to stores and other costs of net revenues in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Total operating expenses increased by 7.5% to RMB3.4 billion (US$0.5 billion) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB3.1 billion in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the increase of sales and marketing expenses along with the expansion of home renovation and furnishing business, which was partially offset by the decrease of research and development expenses.

  • General and administrative expenses increased by 6.1% to RMB1,621 million (US$236 million) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB1,528 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the increase of share-based compensation, which was partially offset by the decrease of personnel costs and overheads along with the reduction of the headcount in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.
  • Sales and marketing expenses increased by 50.3% to RMB1,294 million (US$188 million) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB861 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the increase in sales and marketing expenses for home renovation and furnishing services as the financial results of Shengdu were consolidated since the second quarter of 2022 and the organic growth of home renovation and furnishing business.
  • Research and development expenses decreased by 39.0% to RMB457 million (US$67 million) in the first quarter of 2023 from RMB749 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to the decreases in personnel costs and share-based compensation as a result of decreased headcount in research and development personnel in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

Income from operations was RMB2,978 million (US$434 million) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to loss from operations of RMB918 million in the same period of 2022. Operating margin was 14.7% in the first quarter of 2023, compared to negative 7.3% in the same period of 2022, primarily due to: a) a relatively higher gross profit margin, and b) improved operating leverage as a result of personnel optimization and optimized resource utilization in the first quarter of 2023, compared to the same period of 2022.

For analytical presentation, all percentages are calculated using the numbers presented in the financial statements contained in this earnings release.

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 for financial and operational decision-making purposes. 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 its financial and operational decision-making. 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, and (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and business cooperation agreement. Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted income (loss) from operations as a percentage of net revenues. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss), excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and business cooperation agreement, (iii) changes in fair value from long term investments, loan receivables measured at fair value and contingent consideration, (iv) impairment of investments, and (v) tax effects of the above non-GAAP adjustments. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders is defined as net income (loss) attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders, excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and business cooperation agreement, (iii) changes in fair value from long term investments, loan receivables measured at fair value and contingent consideration, (iv) impairment of investments, (v) tax effects of the above non-GAAP adjustments, and (vi) effects of non-GAAP adjustments on net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests shareholders. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), excluding (i) income tax expense (benefit), (ii) share-based compensation expenses, (iii) amortization of intangible assets, (iv) depreciation of property, plant and equipment, (v) interest income, net, (vi) changes in fair value from long term investments, loan receivables measured at fair value and contingent consideration, and (vii) impairment of investments. Adjusted net income (loss) per ADS attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders is defined as adjusted net income (loss) attributable to KE Holdings Inc.’s ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of ADS outstanding during the periods used in calculating adjusted net income (loss) per ADS, basic and diluted.

GTV for a given period is calculated as the total value of all transactions which the Company facilitated on the Company’s platform and evidenced by signed contracts as of the end of the period, including the value of the existing home transactions, new home transactions, home renovation and furnishing and emerging and other services, and including transactions that are contracted but pending closing at the end of the relevant period. For the avoidance of doubt, for transactions that failed to close afterwards, the corresponding GTV represented by these transactions will be deducted accordingly.

Based on our accumulated operational experience, we have introduced the operating metrics of number of active stores and number of active agents on our platform, which can better reflect the operational activeness of stores and agents on our platform.

“Active stores” as of a given date is defined as stores on our platform excluding the stores which (i) have not facilitated any housing transaction during the preceding 60 days, (ii) do not have any agent who has engaged in any critical steps in housing transactions (including but not limited to introducing new properties, attracting new customers and conducting property showings) during the preceding seven days, or (iii) have not been visited by any agent during the preceding 14 days. The number of active stores was 42,994 as of March 31, 2022.

4

“Active agents” as of a given date is defined as agents on our platform excluding the agents who (i) delivered notice to leave but have not yet completed the exit procedures, (ii) have not engaged in any critical steps in housing transactions (including but not limited to introducing new properties, attracting new customers and conducting property showings) during the preceding 30 days, or (iii) have not participated in facilitating any housing transaction during the preceding three months. The number of active agents was 381,799 as of March 31, 2022.

5

“Mobile monthly active users” or “mobile MAU” are to the sum of (i) the number of accounts that have accessed our platform through our Beike or Lianjia mobile app (with duplication eliminated) at least once during a month, and (ii) the number of Weixin users that have accessed our platform through our Weixin Mini Programs at least once during a month. Average mobile MAU for any period is calculated by dividing (i) the sum of the Company’s mobile MAUs for each month of such period, by (ii) the number of months in such period.

6

Adjusted income (loss) from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as income (loss) from operations, excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, and (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and business cooperation agreement.
