The earnings call highlighted the company's commitment to long-term investments in merchant support and ecosystem development despite current financial challenges. Revenue growth was positive, but a significant decline in profit and increased competition posed challenges.
Company Guidance
In the first quarter of 2025, PDD Holdings reported a revenue of RMB95.7 billion, marking a 10% year-over-year increase, primarily driven by growth in online marketing services and transaction services. However, despite this revenue growth, the company experienced a significant drop in profitability, with the non-GAAP operating profit margin declining from 33% to 19% compared to the same quarter last year. This decrease is attributed to increased investments in the platform ecosystem, including merchant support initiatives like the upgraded 100 billion support program. Total operating expenses rose by 37% on a GAAP basis and 43% on a non-GAAP basis, reflecting increased fulfillment fees and marketing expenses. Additionally, the company's net income attributable to ordinary shareholders decreased from RMB28 billion to RMB14.7 billion year-over-year. The management emphasized that these investments are strategic long-term commitments aimed at fostering a robust merchant ecosystem despite their short-term impact on profitability.
