Insights

Kingsoft Cloud shows AI-driven revenue growth while narrowing losses, with impressive EBITDA improvement despite seasonal headwinds.

Kingsoft Cloud's Q1 2025 results reveal an interesting transition toward AI-focused services driving growth. Revenue increased 10.9% year-over-year to RMB1,970.0 million, though there was an expected 11.7% sequential decline due to seasonality from Chinese New Year. The standout metric is the 228% year-over-year growth in AI business gross billing, which now represents 39% of public cloud services revenue - a clear indicator of the company's strategic pivot.

The company's financial health shows measured improvement with adjusted operating loss narrowing to RMB55.8 million, a 56% reduction year-over-year. Non-GAAP EBITDA dramatically improved to RMB318.5 million from just RMB33.2 million in Q1 2024, with margin expanding from 1.9% to 16.2%. This suggests operational efficiency gains alongside the revenue growth.

Cost structure reveals strategic investments, with depreciation and amortization costs doubling from RMB183.5 million to RMB378.5 million, primarily due to AI server investments. Meanwhile, IDC costs decreased 6%, showing disciplined cost management in traditional infrastructure while reallocating capital to high-growth AI capabilities.

Despite these positives, Kingsoft still posted a net loss of RMB316.1 million, and cash reserves declined from RMB2,648.8 million to RMB2,322.7 million, reflecting ongoing investments in computing infrastructure. This cash burn rate requires monitoring, though it appears to be funding the company's AI transformation that's showing encouraging early results in revenue growth and margin expansion.

Useof Non-GAAPFinancialMeasures

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) profit, Non-GAAP operating (loss) profit 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) profit as operating loss excluding share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets and we define Non-GAAP operating (loss) profit margin as Non-GAAP operating (loss) profit 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 (benefit) expense 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.
