Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac shares tumble after conservatorship comments
SHANGHAI - ZKH Group Limited (NYSE:ZKH), a leading maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) procurement service platform in China, reported fourth quarter 2024 financial results that fell short of analyst expectations on earnings per share.
The company posted revenue of $324.7 million for the quarter, representing a 3% decrease from the same period last year. ZKH reported a loss per share of -$0.01, missing the analyst estimate of $0.08 in earnings per share.
Net product revenues declined 0.9% year-over-year to RMB2.30 billion ($315.6 million), while net service revenues dropped 48% to RMB51.2 million ($7.0 million). The company attributed the revenue declines primarily to the optimization of certain low-margin businesses with long customer credit terms under its marketplace model.
Gross profit decreased 2.9% YoY to RMB405.0 million ($55.5 million), though gross margin held steady at 17.1%. ZKH reported an operating loss of RMB32.6 million ($4.5 million) for the quarter, compared to a loss of RMB6.8 million in Q4 2023.
"2024 presented a dynamic demand landscape, yet we delivered robust performance, further solidifying our leadership in China’s MRO industry and expanding our global footprint," said Eric Long Chen, Chairman and CEO of ZKH.
The company noted it generated positive operating cash flow of RMB170.7 million ($23.4 million) in Q4, marking its third consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow. For the full year 2024, ZKH reported revenue of RMB8.76 billion ($1.20 billion), up 0.5% YoY.
