    ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 20 3 2024 07:57:57   America/Chicago

    BEIJING, March 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Limited (“Kingsoft Cloud” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: KC and HKEX: 3896), a leading independent cloud service provider in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

    Mr. Tao Zou, Chief Executive Officer of Kingsoft Cloud, commented, “In 2023, we continued to uphold the principle of high-quality and sustainable development and have accomplished significant achievements. During the year, we continued to optimize our business mix, and have exhibited remarkable agility in embracing the advent of the AIGC era. We increasingly tapped into the structural and tangible opportunities of AI related cloud computing demands within the Xiaomi and Kingsoft ecosystem, while partnering with well-known independent AI unicorns in long-term strategic cooperation, altogether contributing approximately 8% of revenues from public cloud services in the fourth quarter 2023. In terms of technology, we founded our AI research center, and have launched our Model as a Services (MaaS) mutual trust dedicated zone solutions, which was pioneered in data security features of MaaS solutions.

    In terms of talents strategy, our Wuhan research center progressing swiftly. By the end of 2023, we have over 500 employees in Wuhan, occupying around 40% of our total research and development staffs. The Beijing-Wuhan dual research center strategy builds solid foundations to our long-term talents development. Looking forward, we will continue to focus on high-quality revenue expansion, improve our profitability and create true value to our customers, shareholders, employees and society.”

    Mr. Henry He, Chief Financial Officer of Kingsoft Cloud, added, “We are pleased to close the year with another record high profitability. During the year, we have been adjusting our revenue mix. We allocate more resources to non-CDN public cloud services and the high-quality projects of enterprise cloud, while cutting down the scale of CDN services with low-margin profile. As a result, our profitability and cash flow measures significantly improved. For the full year of 2023, adjusted gross margin was 12.2%, significantly increased by 6.8 percentage points from 5.4% in 2022. Adjusted gross profit was RMB859.9 million, almost doubled compared with RMB445.2 million in 2022. Normalized adjusted EBITDA was negative 3.4%, significantly narrowed down from negative 8.9% in 2022. Our profitability has been consecutively improved for the last six quarters. In 2024, we expect to continue strict costs and expenses control and we believe there is still potential to further improve our profitability.”

    Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

    Total Revenues reached RMB1,722.5 million (US$242.61 million), increased steadily by 6.0% quarter-over-quarter from RMB1,625.2 million in the third quarter 2023. The increase was mainly due to the expanded revenue from AI related customers and the intense delivery of enterprise cloud projects. Total revenues decreased by 19.2% from RMB2,131.0 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease was in line with our expectation as we proactively scale down of CDN services, and are more stringent project selection of enterprise cloud projects.

      Revenues from public cloud services increased by 3.5% from RMB1,016.6 million in last quarter to RMB1,052.0 million (US$148.2 million). The increase was mainly due to the revenue contribution from new AI customers. Revenues from public cloud services decreased by 21.7%, compared with RMB1,344.3 million in the same quarter of 2022. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the above-mentioned scaling down of our CDN services.
       
      Revenues from enterprise cloud services were RMB670.3 million (US$94.4 million), representing a growth of 10.2% from RMB608.5 million last quarter and a decrease of 14.7% from RMB785.9 million in the same quarter of 2022. We keep focus in selected verticals and take profitability and sustainability of the enterprise cloud projects as our priorities.
       
      Other revenues were RMB0.2 million (US$0.02 million).
       

    Cost of revenues was RMB1,469.3 million (US$206.9 million), representing a significant decrease of 25.4% from RMB1,969.1 million in the same quarter of 2022. IDC costs decreased significantly by 30.0% year-over-year from RMB1,057.6 million to RMB740.4 million (US$104.3 million) this quarter. The decrease was in line with our adjustment with CDN services and the less reliance on IDC services for AI computing services. Depreciation and amortization costs decreased by 39.2% from RMB241.7 million to RMB146.9 million (US$20.7 million). The decrease was mainly due to the impairment of our long-lived assets. Solution development and services costs increased by 8.0% from RMB465.8 million to RMB502.9 million (US$70.8 million) this quarter. The increase was mainly due to the increase of solution personnel demands from Camelot. Fulfillment costs and other costs were RMB9.4 million (US$1.3 million) and RMB69.7 million (US$9.8 million) this quarter, which is in line with our enterprise cloud projects’ quality control strategy.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    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 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 net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation, foreign exchange (gain) loss and impairment of long-lived assets, and we define Non-GAAP net loss margin as adjusted net loss as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as Non-GAAP net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax 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.
