This quarter, our capital expenditures, including those financed by third parties and the right of use assets obtained in 2024 finance lease liabilities, were RMB 2,787.8 million. Looking forward, AI technology drives the revolution of cloud computing. We do more than just fulfill the computing demands of model training, inference. We also empower enterprises to invoke an API and apply AI capabilities to their business. Stepping into the phase of rapid development in AI applications and explosive growth in demand, we will further invest into infrastructure, strengthen technology, enhance service stability, and provide customers with high-value-added cloud services. That's all for the introduction of our operational and financial results. Thank you all. Thank you, operator. We are now due to start a Q&A session. Please ask your question in both Mandarin, Chinese, and English if possible.

Xiaodan Zhang: Hey, Tao Zou, Yi Li, Nicole Shan, Clark. Good evening. Thank you for taking my question. I have two questions. The first is that we see that AI revenue in Q3 has grown very impressively. I would like to ask the management to explain the main driving factor behind this. Has there been any structural change in the demand of our internal and external customers? The second question is that we have seen that due to the change in our computing resource acquisition model this year, although the margin has decreased, the improvement in EBITDA profitability is very beyond expectations. How does the management look at the trend of profitability in the subsequent quarters? What is the expected structure of different resource acquisition models in the future? I will translate my question quickly. Thanks management for taking my questions.
Yi Li: 哎啊,周总理,总理,call cloud,晚上好啊。感谢接受我的提问啊。我这边有两个问题。第一个是,我们看到三季度这个AI的收入是取得了非常亮眼的增长。想请管理层拆解一下,就是背后主要的一个驱动因素啊。我们的这个内外部的,客户的需求是否有出现一些结构性的变化啊?第二个问题是,我们看到今年以来,就是由于我们这个算力资源获取模式的变化,虽然毛利率有所下降,但是EBITDA的利润率的这个改善的幅度是非常超预期的。管理层对于后续季度的这个利润率的趋势如何的展望?预计就是后续不同的这个资源获取模式,大概是一个怎么样的结构的比例啊?我快速翻译一下我的问题。 I'm so thanks, management, for taking my questions. First of all, what are the key drivers of AI revenue growth in Q3? Has there been any structural change in the demand of your ecosystem and external clients for the past quarter? Secondly, how does management see the margin trend in the coming quarters? What's the expected mix of different computing resources acquisition models? Thank you.
Okay awesome.
Both of them to do take out and so I don't think I'm wrong at the point that that's a long time.
While we won't sit on them.
So I'm not sure I'd say that Meanwhile, go though a coke with us she told somebody who thinks it should go to myself.

Super.
I'll put some or should that actually gets around the table.
I don't know quite the same without them.
So thanks management for taking my questions and first of all what are the key drivers of ink and Robin Mcgraw.
Xiaodan Zhang: First of all, what are the key drivers of AI revenue growth in Q3? Has there been any structural change in the demand of your ecosystem and external clients for the past quarter? Secondly, how does management see the margin trend in the coming quarters? What's the expected mix of different computing resources acquisition models going onwards? Thank you.
In Q3 and has there been any structural change in the demand.

Yi Li: Yes, sorry, we didn't get your question. Could you repeat that again? Thank you.
Yes, no problem.
Xiaodan Zhang: yes, no problem. My first question is regarding the AI revenue. Could management break down the key drivers for AI revenue in Q3? Has there been any structural change in the demand of your ecosystem and external clients for the past quarter? Secondly, how does management see the margin trend in the coming quarters? What's the expected mix of different computing resources acquisition models going onwards? Thank you.

Different computing resources acquisition modeling.
Thank you.
Okay.
Tao Zou: I will answer first, and then you can add. I will answer first, then please add. I think the main driving factor is because we gradually completed the delivery of previous orders or fully delivered in Q3, then entered a stage of full activation. This is the core. Of course, there is also a part that came from the delayed revenue. Part of the delayed revenue in Q3 can also be considered as almost fully activated. Maybe in Q2 it was partially delivered, partially activated, in Q3 it has already been fully delivered and fully activated. This is the core growth trend.
Fortunately that.
Thanks.
But what it was in a pretty nice Aloha.
Tao Zou: 我先回答你再补充一下啊。呃,我我先来回答一下,然后那个到时候就请刘涛补充一下。我觉得主要的增长这个因素啊,就是因为我们呃,在二三季度逐步啊,这个完成了这个之前的这个订单的交付吧,或者集群的交付,然后呢,进入到全量计费的这么一个阶段。这是一个那个呃,最核心的。当然还有一部分就是从那个呃,递延过来的部分,递延的收入在在这个呃,三季度呢,也可以理解成几乎变成全量了。可能在二季度是部分交付,部分积费到三季度已经全部交付,全部积费了。那这是最最核心的这个增长趋势。

Thank you gentlemen.
Hey, Betsy.
To answer your question.
Two countries.
Uh huh.
So basically the core of <unk>.
Yi Li: Basically, the core reason behind the AI revenue growth in Q3 is that we had some clusters that, you know, partially delivered in the previous quarters, for example, like the second quarter of 2025. These clusters and these services have only been partially accounted for revenues from a full quarter basis. Now, in Q3, they are starting to be recognized as full quarter revenues. There is also a factor of partially delayed revenue as well. Some of the revenue which we had in Q2 but was not accounted for, and then this revenue is delayed into the third quarter. Yeah.
Isn't behind the revenue growth in Q3 is that you have some clusters that passionate delivered in the previous quarters.
Tao Zou: Basically the core of reason behind the AI revenue growth in Q3 is that we had some clusters that, you know, partially delivered in the previous quarters, for example, like Q2 of 2025. These clusters and these services have only been partially accounted for revenues in from a full quarter basis. Now in the Q3, they are starting to be recognized as full quarter revenues. Also there's the factor of partially de-delayed revenue as well. Some of the revenue which we had in Q2 but was not accounted for, this revenue are delayed into Q3.
For example, like the second quarter of 2025.
This clusters in these services have only being partially accounted for revenues in pharma on a full quarter basis, but not in the three <unk> in Q3, they are starting to be recognized as full quarter revenues and also there is the.
Factor of our passionate is delayed revenue as well all of the revenue.
Which we had in Q2, but was not accounted for.
This revenue are delayed into the third quarter.

To answer that one for me.

I'll then go Oh, no Glenn you can add and.
Xiaodan Zhang: 哦,对那个我第一个关于那个AI的问题,还有一个是想请教一下,就是我们看到呃三季度我们内外部的这个客户是否有就是客户的需求是否有出现一些结构性的变化。啊,然后我第二个问题是我们看到呃今年以来呃因为这个算力资源获取模式的变化啊,虽然毛利率是有些下降的,但是我们的这个EBITDA利润率改善的幅度是非常超预期的。啊,就也想请就是周总啊分享一下,就是对于后续季度这个利润率趋势的一个展望。啊,然后以及后续就是我们不同的这个算力资源获取的模式大概会是一个怎么样的结构啊和比例。谢谢。

So regarding the second part of your first question, which is about the structure of our internal and external customers.
Tao Zou: Regarding the second part of your first question, which is about the structure of our internal and external customers. I think I used to say that from a large trend general trend perspective, we're currently in the phase of transitioning from a large and top customers training demand to a general and wider spread customers inference demand. Most at the current stage, we still see, you know, the majority of our demand coming from the larger customers in their training demand. However, especially in the latest quarter, we're increasingly seeing the trend of customers adopting artificial intelligence models into their diverse industries. In face of this general trend, we have also as we mentioned in the prepared remarks, we have launched our StarFlow platform to meet the demands of such general trend. This also goes back to the margin question that you also asked about. We generally think that the in the future the inference demand will tend to exhibit higher margin profile than the current stage of training, and therefore we think that when that wave of demand comes, we expect to have higher margins.
Yi Li: Regarding the second part of your first question, which is about the structure of internal and external customers, I think I used to say that from a large trend, general trend perspective, we're currently in the phase of transitioning from large and top customers' training demand to general and wider spread customers' inference demand. Most at the current stage, we still see, you know, the majority of our demand coming from the larger customers in their training demand. However, especially in the latest quarter, we're increasingly seeing the trend of customers adopting artificial intelligence models into their diverse industries. In face of this general trend, we have also, as we mentioned in the prepared remarks, launched our staff low platform to meet the demands of such general trend.

Thank you Shannon I think you'd be hub level.
Yi Li: Thank you, Xiaodan Zhang. As the EBITDA level as a proportion of the AI business continues to rise and its cost structure is mainly dominated by depreciation, we expect this year's EBITDA margin will still remain about 20%. I have to mention that the significant quarter-on-quarter improvement this quarter was mainly driven by a one-time other income, which will return to the normal level next quarter. Thank you, Xiaodan Zhang.

Wenting Yu: 邹总、李总、Nicole,晚上好,感谢给我提问的机会。我这边有两个问题想请教。那第一个是,能否请管理层分享一下明年的这个收入的指引和增速的一个预期。那在今年已经铺开的这个互联网厂商模型的后训练以及车身智能这些应用场景的基础上,那我们还预期未来在哪一些行业跟场景会出现强劲的这个算力的需求,从而去推动我们收入的进一步增长。那第二个问题是,当前我们看到国内外多家云厂商在算力资源配置里面都提高了服务器租赁的这个比例,那结合市场上采购跟租赁这两块的市场情况,那我们在性价比跟利润率的角度会怎么去考虑优化这两种方式的这个分配。那我很快地翻译一下我的问题。 The first question is: could management share the outlook and guidance on the revenue outlook for next year and beyond the Internet companies post model training and in-body intelligence scenarios that are already underway this year, which other industries and application scenarios are expected to have strong computing power demand that could drive the revenue growth next year? The second question is: with multiple cloud providers in both China and the U.S. increasing the proportion of server leasing in their computing resource mix, how does management view the current market dynamics for procurement versus leasing?
Wenting Yu: like to ask. The first is, could management share the outlook and guidance on the revenue outlook for next year and, beyond the internet complex post-model training and embodied intelligence scenarios that are already underway this year, which other industry and application scenarios are expected to have strong computing power demand that could drive the revenue growth next year? The second question is, with multiple Cloud providers in both China and US increasing the proportion of server leasing in their computing resource mix, how does management view the current market dynamics for procurement versus leasing? From a cost effectiveness and profit margin perspective, how will the company allocate the resources between these two approaches? Thank you.

Yi Li: Wenty, thank you for your question. The company's budget process is currently underway and expected to be completed around the beginning of the next year. We will share the specific details with you once it was finalized. Regarding the demand for our AI business, we are fully confident in the subsequent demand growth. For your second question regarding the procurement method, we primarily align our capital channels with actual customer needs, including cluster scale, delivery time, and supply inventory levels. There is no rigid top-down allocation target. From the cost effectiveness perspective, both approaches have their own pros and cons. The leasing model expands our supply chain channels and provides a certain degree of flexibility in resource allocation, with the flexibility also offered through short-term and long-term contracts.

You know, as you this year, we have covered most of the robot companies in China, and we can see the revenue is increasing very rapidly. In the next year, we believe the increase of the robotic companies will also be fast. Meanwhile, you know, as more and more internet companies in China are using token services, which is API services, we are seeing the increasement of the businesses very quickly. We believe in the next year, this will be a very important factors to driving the revenue to increase. Thank you.

Tao Zou: 我再补充一下关于你谈到的后面那个问题啊,就是我的理解就是我们未未来怎么选择是自采的服务模式还是通过服务器租赁的模式。我在上个Q基本上讲过一个总原则,呃,我们针对我们这些大客,包括像小米之类的啊,呃,相对来讲公司现今的充裕,这个整个公司这个这个这个发展态势非常良好的,或者简单讲其实就是可靠的客户吧,呃,我们我们会会采取一些呃自己支付开派的这种方式。呃,但对于呃其他的一些可能呃有一定风险的,或者说在在这个整个发展的这个还是在这个发展过程当中的这一一些,我们基本上逐渐逐渐会倾向于这种租赁的方式来提供服务。呃,这样也是进一步降低我们自身的这个风险,好吧。所以那个当然没有一个具体的呃怎么样的配比啊,我我觉得只能是更多的是从客户角度啊,对对像小米这类客户我们觉得优质可靠的呢,那我们就会呃通过这个自己投开开派的这种方式来服务。呃,例如一些一些中小的企业呢,我们还是会呃呃采取这个这个资源租赁的这种方式。所以呢这两个呢,呃呃确实就是从我们上个Q我也谈过,呃对对对于我们总体的毛利水平呢会有一定的影响。但是经过这这今年应该说这个三个季度跑下来看吧,我觉得基本上尤其包括我们这个Q3的总体的毛利水平比Q2还是有一定的提升啊。所以我上次也谈到过,我基本上可能会保持在这么一个水平。那么未来呢主要是看我们的这个推理业务的这个呃进展情况,呃总体来讲这个毛利水平呃有望进一步改善,好吧。

Yi Li: This is the CEO Zhou Dan. He added that he understands your question, your second question is really about the choice between the leasing model and the CapEx model. We've talked about that before. Generally, there's a general rule of thumb. When we're looking at the larger customers, especially the customers that have solid profile, have solid fundamentals, and are trustworthy, premium customers, for example, like Xiaomi, we would tend to choose the CapEx model. While in other growth stage companies, small and medium-sized companies, we generally tend to adopt the leasing model, which is also a way, a meaningful way to reduce our own risk.

As Li Yi rightly mentioned, there's no this kind of a top-down target for the split between these two different methods.
He added that you.
I understand your question. Your second question was really about the choice between the leasing model and the Capex model. So we're talking about that before so generally there is a general rule of thumb. So when we're looking at the larger customers, especially the customers that have solid profile has solid fundamentals.
Trustworthy.
Premium covenants for example, like Xiaomi, we would tend to choose the capex model, while in other growth stage companies medium and small lots of small and medium sized companies.
We generally tend to adopt the leasing model, which is also a way that meaningful way to reduce our own risk.
Right right right, we mentioned that Theres, no there's kind of a top down pockets. So split between these two different methods.
Yi Li: As Li rightly mentioned, there's no kind of a top-down target sort of split between these 2 different methods. We also talked about in the last quarter as well, that the impact of these 2 different methods have different impacts to gross margins. However, as we have seen the financial results for the past 3 quarters, which we have adopted various the combinations of these 2 different models. You know, especially when you compare the growth, the gross margin for Q3 versus Q2, it actually also improves sequentially. I would say that at the current stage, we do not expect material changes to the current status.
And we will talk about in the last quarter as well that the impact of the two different methods have different impacts too.
Yi Li: We also talked about in the last quarter as well that the impact of these two different methods have different impacts to gross margins. However, as we have seen the financial results for the past three quarters, which we have adopted various combinations of these two different models, and you know, especially when you compare the growth margin for the third quarter versus the second quarter, it actually also improved sequentially. I would say that at the current stage we do not expect material changes to the current status. Generally speaking, in the future we do expect the margin to improve. Thank you.
Gross margins. However, we have seen the financial results for the past three quarters of which we have adopted various of the combination of these two different model and you know, especially when you compare the growth the gross margin for the third quarter versus the second quarter.

Hello, Good morning.
Vishal with Hewitt.
Timothy Zhao: Thank you, management, for taking my question. My question is regarding the differences between AI training versus inferences. Could management share what is the pricing methodology between these two kinds of demand, and what has been the pricing trend over the past few months or year to date? In terms of the overall utilization rate of the chips of GPUs, pricing and profitability, can you share more color on the gap between training and inferences? Thank you. Let me answer these questions. You know, when we're talking about the price strategy for inference and the training, you know, there's not too much difference between the two things. So the price is based on the qualities. How many servers used, which is the most important factors.
Timothy Zhao: 好的,感谢关雨曾接受我的提问。我的问题还是关于这个训练和推理的。我想请教一下我们对于整个AI训练和推理的定价方式有什么不同?过去的几个月或者是今年以来整个AI的服务相关的定价的价格有哪些特别的变化?我们在推理和训练的卡的利用率,价格,包括利用率上面,包括利润率上面的差别,大概是有多少?这个是我的问题。我很快翻译一下。Thank you, Madron, for taking my question.

Okay, Let me answer these questions.
[Company Representative] (Kingsoft Cloud): Okay, let me answer this question. You know, when I'm talking about the price strategy for inference and the training, you know, there's not too much difference between the two things. The price is based on the qualities, how many sources used, which is the most important factors. Also, comparing the margin rate, you know, there are two kinds of inference services. One is, you know, customers buy resource and use our platform to inference. That margin ratio is very similar to the training margin ratios. Another one is, you know, customers do directly buy our API token services. We think that will have a better margin ratio, but you know, this business is just in the beginning.
Uh huh.
We're not talking about the pricing strategy for you Chris.
And the training.
That's not too much difference between the two.
This is based on the.

No that was true there are two kind of a difference.
Services with one yet.
Customer by resource and use our platform to improve so thats margin ratio is very similar to the premium margin ratio.
Another one if youll know customers directly by our API token services that are we think that that will have a better margin.
