**<u>Unaudited Financial Results of the Second Half of 2025</u>**

**Total revenues** increased by 4.7% to RMB134.8 million (US$19.3 million) in the second half of 2025 from RMB128.7 million in the same period of 2024.

· **Online advertising services revenues** increased
by 5.0% to RMB105.2 million (US$15.0 million) in the second half of 2025, from RMB100.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase
was primarily attributable to strong advertising demand from AI and high-tech companies, which 36Kr captured through its focus on the
tech vertical.

· **Enterprise value-added services revenues** increased
by 7.7% to RMB20.9 million (US$3.0 million) in the second half of 2025, from RMB19.4 million in the same period of 2024. The increase
was primarily attributable to more innovative marketing solutions we provided to our customers as well as proactive sales strategies we
adopted to navigate the challenging environment during the period.

· **Subscription services revenues** decreased
by 3.3% to RMB8.7 million (US$1.2 million) in the second half of 2025, from RMB9.0 million in the same period of 2024. The slight decrease
was primarily driven by a strategic shift in training services and ongoing refinement of this segment's customer structure.

**Cost of revenues** decreased by 12.6% to RMB54.0 million (US$7.7 million) in the second half of 2025, from RMB61.8 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by improved operational efficiency and a strategic focus on high-margin businesses.

**Gross profit** increased by 20.8% to RMB80.8 million (US$11.6 million) in the second half of 2025, from RMB66.9 million in the same period of 2024. **Gross profit margin** increased by 8.0 percentage points to 60.0% from 52.0% over the same period of 2024. The increase in gross margin was mainly attributable to the higher gross margin of the brand advertising services offered across 36Kr's digital platforms, as well as the significant increase in revenues from these services.

**Operating expenses** decreased by 10.3% to RMB65.6 million (US$9.4 million) in the second half of 2025, from RMB73.1 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to disciplined operating expenses management.

· **Sales and marketing expenses** were RMB37.0
million (US$5.3 million) in the second half of 2025, a slight decrease of 0.5% from RMB37.2 million in the same period of 2024, as we
strategically focused sales and marketing spend on higher-efficiency areas alongside business development.

· **General and administrative expenses** were
RMB22.4 million (US$3.2 million) in the second half of 2025, a 26.1% decrease compared to RMB30.3 million in the same period of 2024.
The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in personnel-related expenses.

· **Research and development expenses** were
RMB6.3 million (US$0.9 million) in the second half of 2025, an increase of 12.5% from RMB5.6 million in the same period of 2024. The increase
was primarily attributable to an increase in staff costs, including salaries and discretionary bonuses for the R&D team.

Share-based compensation gains recognized in cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses, as well as general and administrative expenses, totaled RMB76.2 thousand (US$11.0 thousand) in the second half of 2025, compared to share-based compensation gains of RMB0.22 million in the same period of 2024. The change was primarily due to a higher reversal of SBC expenses related to strategic workforce realignment in 2024 compared to 2025.

**Other income** were RMB1.1 million (US$0.2 million) in the second half of 2025, compared to other expenses of RMB38.6 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was mainly due to the impairment losses on long-term investments recognized in the second half of 2024.

**Income tax expenses** were RMB25 thousand (US$4 thousand) in the second half of 2025, compared to RMB1 thousand of income tax credits in the same period of 2024.

**Net income** was RMB16.2 million (US$2.3 million) in the second half of 2025, compared to net loss of RMB44.9 million in the same period of 2024. **Non-GAAP adjusted net income<sup>6</sup>** was RMB16.2 million (US$2.3 million) in the second half of 2025, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of RMB45.1 million in the same period of 2024. The turnaround was primarily driven by the effectiveness of the company's strategic initiatives focused on cost control and high-margin businesses, along with the reduction in impairment losses on long-term investments and lower provision of allowance for credit losses resulting from improved receivables collection.

**Net income attributable to 36Kr Holdings Inc.'s ordinary shareholders** was RMB16.1 million (US$2.3 million) in the second half of 2025, compared to net loss attributable to 36Kr Holdings Inc.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB42.3 million in the same period of 2024.

**Basic and diluted net income per ADS<sup>7</sup>** were both RMB7.616 (US$1.089) in the second half of 2025, compared to basic and diluted net loss per ADS of RMB19.999 in the same period of 2024.

**<u>Certain Balance Sheet Items</u>**

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of RMB116.1 million (US$16.6 million), an increase of 25.5% from RMB 92.5 million as of December 31, 2024.

**Total revenues** were RMB227.9 million (US$32.6 million) in fiscal year 2025, compared to RMB231.1 million in fiscal year 2024.

· **Online advertising services revenues** decreased
by 0.5% to RMB179.7 million (US$25.7 million) in fiscal year 2025, from RMB180.6 million in fiscal year 2024, relatively flat year over
year.

· **Enterprise value-added services revenues** increased by 1.2% to RMB33.2 million (US$4.7 million) in fiscal year 2025, from RMB32.8 million in fiscal year 2024. The increase was
primarily due to innovative marketing solutions and proactive sales strategies adopted during the year.

· **Subscription services revenues** decreased
by 14.2% RMB15.1 million (US$2.2 million) in fiscal year 2025, from RMB17.6 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable
to a strategic shift in training services and a continued focus on refining this segment's customer base.

**Cost of revenues** decreased by 18.8% to RMB96.4 million (US$13.8 million) in fiscal year 2025, from RMB118.7 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Company's strict cost control measures.

**Gross profit** increased by 17.1% to RMB131.5 million (US$18.8 million) in fiscal year 2025, from RMB112.3 million in fiscal year 2024. **Gross profit margin** increased by 9.1 percentage points to 57.7% from 48.6% over fiscal year 2024. The increase in gross margin was mainly attributable to higher gross margin from the brand advertising services offered across 36Kr's digital platforms, as well as a strong rebound in revenue from these services this year.

**Operating expenses** decreased by 36.1% to RMB121.5 million (US$17.4 million) in fiscal year 2025, from RMB190.1 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was primarily due to disciplined operating expenses management.

<sup>6</sup> Non-GAAP adjusted income/(loss) represents net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses/(gain).

<sup>7</sup> On October 3, 2024, we effected a change in the ratio of our ADSs to Class A ordinary shares from one ADS representing twenty-five Class A ordinary shares to a new ratio of one ADS representing five hundred Class A ordinary shares. Basic and diluted net loss per ADS have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect this ADS ratio change for all periods presented.

· **Sales and marketing expenses** decreased
by 19.6% to RMB66.4 million (US$9.5 million) in fiscal year 2025, from RMB82.6 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was primarily
attributable to the decrease in payroll-related expenses, travel and entertainment expenses, and marketing and promotional expenses.

· **General and administrative expenses** decreased
by 54.5% to RMB42.4 million (US$6.1 million) in fiscal year 2025, from RMB93.1 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was largely attributable
to the decrease in personnel-related expenses and provision of allowance for credit losses.

· **Research and development expenses** decreased
by 11.8% to RMB12.7 million (US$1.8 million) in fiscal year 2025, from RMB14.4 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was primarily
due to a reduction in R&D headcount following a team restructuring in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in salaries
and discretionary bonuses for the R&D team this year.

Share-based compensation expenses recognized in cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses, as well as general and administrative expenses, totaled RMB13.4 thousand (US$1.9 thousand) in fiscal year 2025, compared to share-based compensation gains of RMB0.18 million in fiscal year 2024. The change was mainly due to a higher reversal of SBC expenses caused by strategic workforce optimization in 2024 compared to 2025.

**Other income** were RMB1.4 million (US$0.2 million) in fiscal year 2025, compared to RMB63.0 million of other expenses in fiscal year 2024. The change reflected large long-term investment impairment losses recognized in 2024.

The turnaround was primarily driven by the effectiveness of the Company's strategic initiatives focused on cost control and high-margin businesses, along with the reduction in impairment losses on long-term investments and lower provision of allowance for credit losses resulting from improved receivables collection.

**Net income attributable to 36Kr Holdings Inc.'s ordinary shareholders** was RMB11.2 million (US$1.6 million) in fiscal year 2025, compared to net loss attributable to 36Kr Holdings Inc.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB136.6 million in fiscal year 2024.

**Basic and diluted net income per ADS<sup>7</sup>** were RMB5.274 (US$0.754) **and** RMB5.266 (US$0.753), respectively, in fiscal year 2025, compared to basic and diluted net loss per ADS of RMB64.795, in fiscal year 2024.

**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses two non-GAAP measures, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of these two 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. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company's management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates investors' assessment of its 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.

The Company compensates 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 the Company's performance. The Company encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Adjusted net loss represents net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net income/(loss) before interest income, interest expenses, income tax expenses/(credit), depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.
