Mr. Stanley Yongdong Peng, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Beike, commented, “In the third quarter of 2024, we continued to demonstrate proactive and sustainable growth momentum. Against the backdrop of market adjustments, each of our business lines achieved solid results. In our housing transaction services, we are actively pursuing growth while also committed to fostering a more harmonious ecosystem. Through initiatives such as the ‘store point-based system’, we’re helping store owners achieve better returns and benefit from the platform’s value, ultimately enhancing their level of satisfaction with the platform. In our home renovation and furnishing and home rental services, we are also continuously strengthening our foundational capabilities across product development, process restructuring, and supply chain improvements. Meanwhile, we have officially upgraded our management governance framework, adopting a mechanism of clear responsibilities and collective leadership to deliberate and plan key strategies and matters, ensuring steady and sustainable growth for the Company.”
“All above initiatives are centered around our steadfast commitment to a long-term vision. By focusing on ‘doing the right thing even if it’s difficult’ and continuously exploring innovations, we aim to build our business with a long-term perspective, ensuring sustainable growth and vitality. We are also pleased to see that the supportive policy packages introduced by the government at the end of September have already shown promising initial results. In October, transaction volumes on our platform rebounded significantly, signaling the start of the market recovery. With an improving external environment, we will stay true to our long-term vision, remaining optimistic, persistent, and united as we move toward a brighter future,” concluded Mr. Peng.
Mr. Tao Xu, Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of Beike, added, “The market in the third quarter of this year gradually retreated following the pulse-like rebound fueled by the intensive supportive policies released in May. The existing home market was relatively stable, while the new home market was still in a bottoming stage with weak supply and demand.
For performance in the third quarter, our net revenues reached RMB22.6 billion, gross margin stood at 22.7%; net income reached RMB1,168 million, and adjusted net income was RMB1,782 million. Home transaction services demonstrated a stable revenue performance. The monetization capability of our new home transaction services has been further strengthened. We are actively advancing our ‘one body, three wings’ strategy, with revenues of home renovation and furnishing, home rental services, and emerging and other services growing by 54.3% year-over-year in the third quarter. They accounted for an increasing portion of our total net revenues at 38.3%, increasing by 6.8 percentage points from the same period of 2023. Among these, revenue from home renovation and furnishing reached RMB4.21 billion, rising by 32.6% year-over-year, while revenue from home rental services reached RMB3.94 billion, up 118.4% year-over-year.
With robust cash reserves, we continued to reward our shareholders who have grown with us, sharing the value created by the Company. In the third quarter, we allocated approximately US$200 million to share repurchases.
As our businesses become more diverse, we have elevated our standards for resource allocation and prudent management. Moving forward, we will continue to focus on the fundamentals of our business, ensuring strict adherence to risk controls and maintaining healthy cash flow, while fully supporting the growth of our ‘one body, three wings’ businesses.”

The number of active agents was 399,048 as of September 30, 2023.
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.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues increased by 26.8% to RMB22.6 billion (US$3.2 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB17.8 billion in the same period of 2023, primarily attributable to the increase of net revenues from new home transaction services and the expansion of home renovation and furnishing and home rental business. Total GTV increased by 12.5% to RMB736.8 billion (US$105.0 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB655.2 billion in the same period of 2023, primarily attributable to the recovery of existing home transaction market and the Company’s proactive growth strategy and improved market coverage capabilities.
- Net revenues from existing home transaction services were RMB6.2 billion (US$0.9 billion) in the third quarter of 2024, relatively flat compared with RMB6.3 billion in the same period of 2023. GTV of existing home transactions increased by 8.8% to RMB477.8 billion (US$68.1 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB439.0 billion in the same period of 2023. The different trend between net revenues and GTV of existing home transaction services was primarily attributable to a higher contribution from GTV of existing home transaction services served by connected agents on the Company’s platform, for which revenue is recorded on a net basis from platform service, franchise service and other value-added services, while for GTV served by Lianjia brand, the revenue is recorded on a gross commission revenue basis.
Among that, (i) commission revenue was RMB5.1 billion (US$0.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2024, relatively flat compared with RMB5.1 billion in the same period of 2023, while the GTV of existing home transactions served by Lianjia stores increased by 1.7% to RMB194.5 billion (US$27.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB191.2 billion in the same period of 2023; 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 were RMB1.2 billion (US$0.2 billion) in the third quarter of 2024, relatively flat compared with RMB1.2 billion in the same period of 2023, mainly due to an increase of GTV of existing home transactions served by connected agents on the Company’s platform of 14.3% to RMB283.3 billion (US$40.4 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB247.8 billion in the same period of 2023, offset by the decrease in revenues from certain value-added services which were not directly driven by GTV of existing home transactions served by connected agents.
- Net revenues from new home transaction services increased by 30.9% to RMB7.7 billion (US$1.1 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB5.9 billion in the same period of 2023, primarily due to the increase of GTV of new home transactions of 18.4% to RMB227.6 billion (US$32.4 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB192.1 billion in the same period of 2023, and the improved monetization capability. Among that, the GTV of new home transactions facilitated on Beike platform through connected agents, dedicated sales team with the expertise on new home transaction services and other sales channels increased by 20.5% to RMB183.0 billion (US$26.1 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB151.9 billion in the same period of 2023, and the GTV of new home transactions served by Lianjia brand increased by 10.5% to RMB44.5 billion (US$6.3 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB40.3 billion in the same period of 2023.
- Net revenues from home renovation and furnishing increased by 32.6% to RMB4.2 billion (US$0.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB3.2 billion in the same period of 2023, primarily attributable to a) the increase of orders driven by the synergetic effects from customer acquisition and conversion between home transaction services and home renovation and furnishing business, b) a larger contribution from furniture and home furnishing sales (in categories such as customized furniture, soft furnishings, and electrical appliances), and c) the shortened lead time driven by enhanced delivery capabilities.
- Net revenues from home rental services increased by 118.4% to RMB3.9 billion (US$0.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB1.8 billion in the same period of 2023, primarily attributable to the increase of the number of rental units under the Carefree Rent model.
- Net revenues from emerging and other services were RMB0.5 billion (US$0.1 billion) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to RMB0.6 billion in the same period of 2023.

The Company’s cost of revenues for commissions to connected agents and other sales channels was RMB5.2 billion (US$0.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to RMB4.0 billion in the same period of 2023, primarily due to the increase in net revenues from new home transaction services derived from transactions facilitated through connected agents and other sales channels.
- Commission and compensation – internal. The Company’s cost of revenues for internal commission and compensation increased by 17.2% to RMB4.4 billion (US$0.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB3.7 billion in the same period of 2023, primarily due to an increase in the net revenues from new home transactions derived from transactions facilitated through Lianjia agents and the increase in fixed compensation costs mainly driven by the increased number of Lianjia agents and improved welfare for them.
- Cost of home renovation and furnishing. The Company’s cost of revenues for home renovation and furnishing increased by 28.6% to RMB2.9 billion (US$0.4 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB2.3 billion in the same period of 2023, which was in line with the growth of net revenues from home renovation and furnishing.

- Other costs. The Company’s other costs increased to RMB502 million (US$72 million) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB480 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the increased tax and surcharges in line with the increased net revenues.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased by 5.2% to RMB5.1 billion (US$0.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB4.9 billion in the same period of 2023. Gross margin was 22.7% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 27.4% in the same period of 2023, primarily due to a) a lower contribution from net revenues from existing home transaction services with a relatively higher margin than other revenue streams; b) a lower contribution margin of existing home transaction services led by the increased fix compensation costs as percentage of net revenues from existing home transaction services.
Income from Operations
Total operating expenses increased by 11.0% to RMB4.4 billion (US$0.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB4.0 billion in the same period of 2023.

- Sales and marketing expenses increased by 18.6% to RMB1.9 billion (US$0.3 billion) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB1.6 billion in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the increase in sales and marketing expenses for home renovation and furnishing business which was in line with the growth of net revenues from home renovation and furnishing and increased expenses on marketing and promotion activities for business development of new connected brands and stores.
- Research and development expenses increased by 21.5% to RMB573 million (US$82 million) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB472 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to the increased headcount of research and development personnel and the increased technical service costs.
Income from operations was RMB727 million (US$104 million) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to income from operations of RMB911 million in the same period of 2023. Operating margin decreased to 3.2% in the third quarter of 2024 from 5.1% in the same period of 2023, primarily due to a lower gross margin partially offset by the improved operating leverage in the third quarter of 2024, compared to the same period of 2023.
