Mr. Dagang Feng, co-chairman and chief executive officer of 36Kr, commented, "We delivered solid performance in the third quarter of 2019. Our average monthly PV for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019 was 389.5 million, representing a rapid year-over-year increase of 167.5%. This impressive PV growth was driven by our attractive and extensive New Economy-focused content distributed through a variety of channels, and reflected our expanding user base and ever-growing influence in the New Economy community.

"Along with significant traffic growth, our value proposition is resonating with customers as we achieved total revenues of RMB130.9 million for the third quarter of 2019, up 59.1% as compared to the same period in 2018. Of special note, our revenue from enterprise value-added services and subscription services grew 202.8% and 36.2%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2018. The rapid growth of these two business segments and their greater contribution to our topline demonstrate the successful execution of our strategy to evolve ourselves into a service-focused enabler for New Economy participants. Going forward, we will remain focused on solidifying our advantages in high-quality content creation and distribution both domestically and globally, while proactively expanding our service offerings to strengthen our monetization capabilities. We believe, with the strong growth of the New Economy, there is great market potential for our comprehensive services to our customers and vibrant community. We are dedicated to being their partner of choice and empowering them to achieve more business success," Mr. Feng concluded.

Ms. Jihong Liang, director and chief financial officer of 36Kr, stated, "In the third quarter of 2019, we achieved robust topline results underpinned by our strong growth of enterprise value-added services as we provided tailored and diverse services to our customers. We are also pleased to yield positive Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income for the quarter, showcasing our improving profitability coupled with encouraging business growth. To better position ourselves in driving key growth initiatives in the coming quarters, we made an upfront investment in additional headcount during the third quarter. As such, we expect headcount to remain stable for the remainder of 2019. Although the investment in headcount resulted in a relatively higher level of expenses, we believe it is necessary for us to be well prepared for grasping the market opportunities in the peak season ahead. Together with our unwavering efforts in technology enhancement, we are ready to embrace the growth of the New Economy with our customers."

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

Adjusted net income/(loss) represents net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net income/(loss) before interest income, interest expenses, income tax expense/(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.
