Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues decreased by 5.7% to RMB24.5 billion (US$3.6 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB26.0 billion in the same period of 2025, primarily attributable to decreased net revenues from home renovation and furnishing and home rental services, which was partially offset by the increase of net revenues from new home and existing home transaction services driven by improved productivity per connected store.
-- Net revenues from existing home transaction services increased by 4.5% to
RMB7.0 billion (US$1.0 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB6.7
billion in the same period of 2025, primarily due to an 8.0% increase in
GTV of existing home transactions to RMB629.9 billion (US$92.8 billion)
in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB583.5 billion in the same period of
2025.Among that, (i) commission revenue decreased by 1.4% to RMB5.3
billion (US$0.8 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB5.4
billion in the same period of 2025, primarily due to a 3.1% decrease in
GTV of existing home transactions served by Lianjia stores to RMB206.6
billion (US$30.4 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB213.1
billion in the same period of 2025; 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 27.8% to RMB1.7 billion (US$0.3 billion) in the
second quarter of 2026 from RMB1.4 billion in the same period of 2025,
primarily due to a 14.3% increase in the GTV of existing home
transactions served by connected agents on the Company's platform to
RMB423.3 billion (US$62.4 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from
RMB370.4 billion in the same period of 2025 driven by improved
productivity per connected store and the increased revenues from certain
value-added services that were less directly linked to GTV.
-- Net revenues from new home transaction services increased by 3.8% to
RMB8.9 billion (US$1.3 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB8.6
billion in the same period of 2025, primarily due to deeper coverage of
high-quality projects, which contributed to a 1.2% increase of GTV of new
home transactions to RMB258.4 billion (US$38.1 billion) in the second
quarter of 2026 from RMB255.4 billion in the same period of 2025. Of
these, the GTV of new home transactions facilitated on Beike platform
through connected agents, dedicated sales team with the expertise in new
home transaction services and other sales channels increased by 0.9% to
RMB210.2 billion (US$31.0 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from
RMB208.2 billion in the same period of 2025, while the GTV of new home
transactions served by Lianjia brand increased by 2.3% to RMB48.2 billion
(US$7.1 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB47.1 billion in
the same period of 2025.
-- Net revenues from home renovation and furnishing decreased by 30.1% to
RMB3.2 billion (US$0.5 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB4.6
billion in the same period of 2025, as the Company proactively optimized
its customer acquisition channel mix and moderated the pace of certain
non-brokerage channels.
-- Net revenues from home rental services decreased by 14.8% to RMB4.8
billion (US$0.7 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB5.7
billion in the same period of 2025, primarily due to the impact of an
increasing proportion of new product offering within the Carefree Rent
business. Under the new model, revenue is recognized based on net service
fees derived from two sources: (1) commissions earned for facilitating
the signing of lease agreements between homeowners and tenants; and (2)
fees for lease term management services rendered throughout the lease
period. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in the number
of rental units under the Carefree Rent business.
-- Net revenues from emerging and other services increased by 26.4% to
RMB546 million (US$80 million) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB432
million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to the increase of
revenues from financial services.
Contribution Margin
The Company also reviews contribution margin to measure segment profitability. The Company defines contribution for each service line as the revenue less the direct compensation to its internal agents and sales professionals, split commission to connected agents and other sales channels for such services, property leasing costs and direct operating costs related to home rental services and direct costs for home renovation and furnishing. The Company defines contribution margin as a percentage of contribution bearing to revenue.
-- Contribution margin for existing home transaction services. The
contribution margin for existing home transaction services increased to
46.1% in the second quarter of 2026 from 39.9% in the same period of
2025, primarily attributable to a lower fixed compensation costs for
Lianjia agents as a percentage of net revenues from existing home
transaction services, and a higher proportion of revenues derived from
platform service, franchise service and other value-added services with a
higher margin than commission revenues.
-- Contribution margin for new home transaction services. The contribution
margin for new home transaction services increased to 28.8% in the second
quarter of 2026 from 24.4% in the same period of 2025, primarily
attributable to cost structure optimization driven by refined operations.
-- Contribution margin for home renovation and furnishing. The contribution
margin for home renovation and furnishing increased to 39.6% in the
second quarter of 2026 from 32.1% in the same period of 2025, primarily
attributable to enhanced supply chain capabilities, which helped reduce
material costs.
-- Contribution margin for home rental services. The contribution margin for
home rentals increased to 15.3% in the second quarter of 2026 from 8.4%
in the same period of 2025, primarily driven by the continuous increase
in the proportion of high-margin new service offerings with revenues
recognized under the net service fee method under the Carefree Rent
business. In addition, improved operational efficiency further supported
healthier profitability.

connected agents and other sales channels decreased by 2.3% to RMB5.8
billion (US$0.9 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB5.9

optimization driven by refined operations of new home transaction
services with relatively flat year-over-year GTV of new home transactions

team with the expertise in new home transaction services and other sales
channels.
-- Commission and compensation -- internal. The Company's cost of revenues
for internal commission and compensation decreased by 4.8% to RMB4.5
billion (US$0.7 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB4.7
billion in the same period of 2025, primarily attributable to decreased
fixed personnel costs.
-- Cost of home renovation and furnishing. The Company's cost of revenues
for home renovation and furnishing was RMB1.9 billion (US$0.3 billion) in
the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of 37.8% from RMB3.1 billion in
the same period of 2025, primarily due to lower net revenues from home
renovation and furnishing and increased contribution margin.

rental services, which mainly consists of variable cost, decreased by
21.3% to RMB4.1 billion (US$0.6 billion) in the second quarter of 2026

-- General and administrative expenses decreased by 2.1% to RMB2.0 billion
(US$0.3 billion) in the second quarter of 2026 from RMB2.1 billion in the

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.

1 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 (excluding home rental 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.
2 Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which 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.

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, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and business cooperation agreement, and (iii) impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. Please refer to the section titled "Unaudited reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results" for details.
