In our home renovation and furnishing and home rental services, we focused on improving the quality of profitability and establishing sustainable, replicable operating models, bringing both businesses into a healthier stage of development."

"Looking ahead, we believe that the true ability to navigate market cycles stems not from scale itself, but from the capacity to consistently create genuine value for consumers.

Meanwhile, we will leverage AI technology to reconstruct our competitive moats, further amplifying the professional value of service providers and platform efficiency, and ultimately elevating the living experience for consumers through higher-quality services," concluded Mr. Peng.

Our cost and expense structure also improved: the contribution margin for new home transaction services increased by 0.2 percentage point year-over-year in 2025, while the contribution margin for existing home transaction services improved sequentially in the fourth quarter of 2025. Profitability for home renovation and furnishing, as well as home rental services, continued to progress, achieving a significant narrowing of loss and full-year profitability at the operating level, respectively. Operational efficiency also trended upward, with the ratio of operating expenses to net revenues decreasing by 1.4 percentage points year-over-year for the full year 2025.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to rewarding shareholders through proactive capital allocation measures. In 2025, we have in aggregate repurchased shares with a total consideration of approximately US$921 million, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 29%. Meanwhile, we are here to declare a final cash dividend, with an aggregate amount of approximately US$0.3 billion. Altogether, our total shareholder return for 2025 reached approximately US$1.2 billion, up over 9% year-over-year.

Looking ahead, we will maintain prudent financial discipline and enhance resource allocation efficiency. While ensuring support for long-term strategic investments, we will continue to optimize our capital allocation structure to create sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders."

• Net revenues from existing home transaction services decreased by 39.0% to RMB5.4 billion (US$0.8 billion) in the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB8.9 billion in the same period of 2024, primarily due to a high base effect for GTV of existing home transactions, which decreased by 35.3% to RMB482.0 billion (US$68.9 billion) in the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB744.8 billion in the same period of 2024.

• Net revenues from home rental services increased by 18.1% to RMB5.4 billion (US$0.8 billion) in the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB4.6 billion in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the increase in the number of rental units under the Carefree Rent model, partially offset by the impact of an increasing proportion of a new product offering within the Carefree Rent business.

Exchange Rate

This press release contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars ("US$") at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all translations from RMB to US$ were made at the rate of RMB6.9931 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on December 31, 2025, in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company makes no representation that the RMB or US$ amounts referred could be converted into US$ or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all. For analytical presentation, all percentages are calculated using the numbers presented in the financial information 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 formulating its business plan. 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 formulating its business plan. 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 Group recognized fair value loss and impairment in relation to its investments in Beihaojia business. As such impairment does not represent a non-recurring item, it has not been excluded when calculating Non‑GAAP financial measures.

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, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and business cooperation agreement, and (iii) impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. 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 goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, (v) impairment of investments, and (vi) 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 goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, (v) impairment of investments, (vi) tax effects of the above non-GAAP adjustments, and (vii) 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, (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, (vii) impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, and (viii) 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.

Please see the "Unaudited reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results" included in this press release for a full reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to its respective comparable GAAP measure.
