“Our
strategic decisions and effective execution yielded impressive financial results in the second quarter of 2024,” said Mr. Yuan
Zhou, chairman and chief executive officer of Zhihu. “At the same time, we made substantial strides in enhancing our core user experience,
evidenced by the continued growth in user retention and DAU time spent. Building on our community’s enhanced trustworthiness, we
launched Zhihu Zhida (知乎直答) in late June, marking a major advancement in our AI search initiatives.
Further improvements in user retention and the positive user feedback Zhihu Zhida has received demonstrate our unique advantages and ability
to capture the tremendous opportunities in this field.”
Mr. Han Wang, chief financial officer of
Zhihu, added, “The second quarter marked our lowest quarterly loss since our U.S. IPO. During the quarter, we maintained disciplined
spending while achieving a high ROI across all business lines. Additionally, we are committed to enhancing shareholder returns through
various means. Moving forward, we will continue to emphasize strong strategic execution as we pursue long-term sustainable profitability.”
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total revenues
were RMB933.8 million (US$128.5 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1,044.2 million in the same period of 2023.
Marketing
services revenue was RMB344.0 million (US$47.3 million), compared with RMB412.7 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease
was primarily due to our proactive and ongoing refinement of service offerings to strategically focus on margin improvement.
Paid membership
revenue was RMB432.7 million (US$59.5 million), compared with RMB449.1 million in the same period of 2023. The slight decrease
was primarily attributable to a marginal decline in our average revenue per subscribing member.
Vocational
training revenue was RMB133.6 million (US$18.4 million), compared with RMB144.5 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease
was primarily driven by lower revenue contributions from our acquired businesses.
Other revenues
were RMB23.5 million (US$3.2 million), compared with RMB37.9 million in the same period of 2023.
Cost of
revenues decreased by 21.8% to RMB377.3 million (US$51.9 million) from RMB482.1 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease
was primarily due to reduced content and operating costs associated with the decline in our revenues.
Gross profit
was RMB556.5 million (US$76.6 million), compared with RMB562.1 million in the same period of 2023. Gross margin expanded to 59.6%
from 53.8% in the same period of 2023, primarily attributable to our monetization enhancements and improvements in our operating efficiency.
Total operating
expenses decreased by 16.7% to RMB740.4 million (US$101.9 million) from RMB889.3 million in the same period of 2023.
Selling
and marketing expenses decreased by 22.9% to RMB417.0 million (US$57.4 million) from RMB540.6 million in the same period of
2023. The decrease was primarily due to more disciplined promotional spending and a decrease in personnel-related expenses.
Research
and development expenses decreased by 11.4% to RMB209.3 million (US$28.8 million) from RMB236.2 million in the same period
of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to more efficient spending on technology innovation.
General
and administrative expenses were RMB114.1 million (US$15.7 million), compared with RMB112.5 million in the same period of 2023.
Loss from
operations narrowed by 43.8% to RMB183.9 million (US$25.3 million) from RMB327.2 million in the same period of 2023.
Adjusted
loss from operations (non-GAAP)[1] narrowed by 45.4% to RMB147.1 million (US$20.2 million) from RMB269.4 million
in the same period of 2023.
Net loss
narrowed by 71.1% to RMB80.6 million (US$11.1 million) from RMB279.1 million in the same period of 2023.
Adjusted
net loss (non-GAAP)[1] narrowed by 79.9% to RMB44.6 million (US$6.1 million) from RMB222.3 million in the same period
of 2023.
Diluted
net loss per American depositary share (“ADS”) [4] was RMB0.89 (US$0.12), compared with RMB2.76 in the
same period of 2023.
Cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, restricted cash and short-term
investments
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents,
term deposits, restricted cash and short-term investments of RMB5,061.5 million (US$696.5 million), compared with RMB5,462.9 million as
of December 31, 2023.
Share Repurchase Programs
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased
31.1 million Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares underlying the ADSs) for a total price of US$66.5 million
on both the New York Stock Exchange and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited under the Company’s existing US$100 million share
repurchase program (the “2022 Repurchase Program”), established in May 2022 and extended until June 26, 2025. In
addition, a concurrent share repurchase program (the “2024 Repurchase Program”) was established in June 2024, effective
until June 26, 2025. The maximum number of shares (including shares underlying the ADSs) that can be repurchased under the 2024 Repurchase
Program, together with the remaining number of shares (including shares underlying the ADSs) that can be repurchased under the 2022 Repurchase
Program, will not exceed 10% of the total number of issued shares of the Company (excluding any treasury shares) as of June 26, 2024,
the date of the resolution granting the general unconditional mandate to purchase the Company’s own shares approved by shareholders.

financial measures, please see the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations

per ADS have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect this ADS ratio change for all periods presented.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business,
the Company considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted loss from operations and adjusted net loss, to supplement
the review and assessment of its operating performance. The Company defines non-GAAP financial measures by excluding the impact of share-based
compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions and the tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments,
which are non-cash expenses. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons of operating performance
from period to period and company to company by adjusting for potential impacts of items, which the Company’s management considers
to be indicative of its operating performance. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to
investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s consolidated results of operations in the same manner as they
help the Company’s management.
The non-GAAP financial
measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial
measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The use of the non-GAAP financial measures has
limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, our results
of operations or financial condition as reported under U.S. GAAP. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see
the tables captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
