Chi Liu, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Autohome

“In the third quarter, we made solid progress in upgrading toward a comprehensive automotive service ecosystem, with our innovative business developing steadily. On the user side, we stepped up our efforts to systematically develop content and tool matrix, further strengthening the platform moat, with average mobile daily active users increasing more than 3% year-over-year in September, according to QuestMobile. On the innovative business side, our new retail business refined its model and scaled up its service network, further broadening its city coverage. In addition, our used-car business advanced the development of both domestic and overseas platforms. The full-process used-car sales service platform continued to improve its standardized service system, while our cross-border export platform achieved growth in both the supply of quality vehicles and volume of export transactions.”

“In early September, we officially launched our proprietary automotive service AI agent product — Cheese Car Butler. By integrating AI capabilities with our dual service ecosystem of users and merchants, we are developing automotive services from purely information matching toward trusted decision-making and reliable fulfillment. This also represents a key strategic initiative for Autohome in the 'AI + automotive services' sector.”

Craig Yan Zeng, Chief Financial Officer of Autohome

“As we continue to refine its model, our new retail business is capitalizing on the growing network effect and has begun contributing to revenue, directly complementing our traditional core business. In line with our ongoing commitment to creating sustainable value for shareholders, we are pleased to announce a cash dividend of approximately RMB1 billion for the second-half of this year. Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in strategic priorities that reinforce our long-term competitiveness while maintaining a streamlined cost structure.”
