The expected loss of the Group in 2025 was primarily due to a reversal from an operating profit of approximately RMB52.415 billion in 2024 to an operating loss of approximately RMB6.8-7 billion in FY2025 for the Core Local Commerce segment, together with increased investments in the Group’s overseas businesses. The loss-making trend was expected to continue into the first quarter of 2026.
