ZKH Group shares tumble over 7% as Q1 loss widens despite revenue growth

NEW YORK - ZKH Group Limited (NYSE:ZKH) reported a wider adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2025, despite revenue growth on Tuesday.

The Chinese MRO procurement service platform’s shares fell 7.47% in pre-market trading after the release.

The company posted a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of RMB50.2 million (-$0.31 per ADS) in Q1, compared to a loss of RMB43.5 million (-$0.27 per ADS) in the same period last year. Revenue rose 4% YoY to RMB1.94 billion ($266.7 million).

While ZKH’s top-line growth was driven by higher product sales, the company saw a sharp 43.1% decline in service revenues due to the optimization of low-margin businesses. Gross margin contracted to 17.2% from 18% a year ago.

"We are pleased with our solid financial results this quarter, as our focus on high-quality revenue streams and operational efficiencies continued to yield positive results," said Max Chun Chiu Lai, Chief Financial Officer of ZKH.

Despite the wider loss, ZKH highlighted improvements in profitability metrics, with its net operating loss margin narrowing by 279.1 basis points YoY to -4.2%.

The company ended the quarter with RMB1.80 billion in cash and short-term investments, down from RMB2.06 billion at the end of 2024.

ZKH is focusing on international expansion, particularly in the U.S. market, where it says revenue and customer base have nearly doubled each month since January 2025.
