Mr. Chi Liu, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Autohome, stated, "During the quarter, our innovative business continued to make steady progress, driving Autohome's upgrade towards a comprehensive automotive service ecosystem. For our new retail business, with the authorized dealer model now in pilot operation and expanding to more cities, we launched the offline franchised chain brand, Autohome Good Car, further extending our offline service network. In addition, our used-car-trading global expansion is advancing steadily ---- our cross-border export platform completed its first transaction in July, providing valuable experience for further expanding our service capabilities."
"We also made major strides in AI, particularly in cutting-edge AI agent technologies. In early July, we unveiled our proprietary intelligent agent product, Cheese Car Butler, and opened it for public beta. As the first standalone agent product in the automotive industry, it represents both a pioneering exploration of intelligent applications and a key milestone in enriching our product portfolio and establishing a differentiated competitive edge."
Mr. Craig Yan Zeng, Chief Financial Officer of Autohome, added, "We made significant progress during the quarter and maintain our unwavering commitment to delivering sustainable shareholder returns. The US$200 million buyback program announced in early March 2026 was completed ahead of schedule, in less than six months. In late July, we announced a new US$400 million buyback plan, demonstrating our strong confidence in the Company's long-term value and deep commitment to shareholder interests."

Among other things, Autohome's business outlook, Autohome's strategic and operational plans and quotations from management in this announcement contain forward-looking statements. Autohome may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), in announcements made on the website of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Hong Kong Stock Exchange"), in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Autohome's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: Autohome's goals and strategies; Autohome's future business development, results of operations and financial condition; the expected growth of the online automobile advertising market in China; Autohome's ability to attract and retain users and advertisers and further enhance its brand recognition; Autohome's expectations regarding demand for and market acceptance of its products and services; competition in the online automobile advertising industry; relevant government policies and regulatory environment of China; fluctuations in general economic and business conditions in China and assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement net income presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome, Non-GAAP basic and diluted EPS and earnings per ADS, Adjusted net margin and Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome as net income attributable to Autohome excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, share of results of equity method investments, and non-recurring employee severance costs, with all the reconciliation items adjusted for related income tax effects. We define non-GAAP basic and diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares. We define non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of ADSs. We define Adjusted net margin as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome divided by total net revenues. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Autohome before income tax expense, depreciation expenses of property and equipment, amortization expenses of intangible assets and share-based compensation expenses. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, in addition to net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand our operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess our core operating results, as they exclude certain non-cash charges or items that are non-operating in nature. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations as they excluded certain items that have been and will continue to be incurred in the future, but such items should be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP Results" set fourth at the end of this press release.

Notes:
Basis of Preparation
The Directors of the Company are responsible for preparation of the Reconciliation Statement in accordance with the relevant
requirements of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. The Reconciliation Statement was prepared based on the Company's unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2026 prepared under U.S. GAAP, with
adjustments made (if any) thereto in arriving at the unaudited financial information of the Company prepared under IFRS
Accounting Standards. The adjustments reflect the differences between the Company's accounting policies under U.S. GAAP
and IFRS Accounting Standards.
(a) Preferred Shares
Under U.S. GAAP, the preferred shares of the Company are accounted for as mezzanine equity, which is subsequently
accreted to the amount which equals to redemption value of each series of preferred shares.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, the preferred shares, which are redeemable at the option of the holder, represent a
financial liability. And the financial liability is measured at fair value and changes in the fair value are reflected in the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is
attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability shall be recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss); the
remaining amount of change in the fair value of the liability shall be recognized in profit or loss.
Accordingly, the reconciliation includes a fair value profit change of RMB64.04 million and RMB12.41 million recognized
in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026,
respectively. The reconciliation also includes the difference between mezzanine equity under U.S. GAAP and financial
liabilities under IFRS Accounting Standards of RMB2,067.76 million and RMB2,193.16 million as at December 31, 2025
and June 30, 2026, respectively.
(b) Leases
For operating leases under U.S. GAAP, the subsequent measurement of the lease liability is based on the present
value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement, while the right-
of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives
received, cumulative prepaid or accrued rents, unamortized initial direct costs and any impairment. This treatment under
U.S. GAAP results in straight-line expense being incurred over the lease term, as opposed to IFRS Accounting Standards
which generally yields a "front-loaded" expense with more expense recognized in earlier years of the lease.
Accordingly, the reconciliation includes an expenses difference recognized in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income of RMB1.25 million and RMB0.13 million (negative) for each of the six months ended June 30,
2025 and 2026, respectively. The reconciliation also includes a difference in total equity of RMB5.53 million (negative)
and RMB5.67 million (negative) as at December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, respectively.
(c) Share-based Compensation
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method
for all share-based awards granted with service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule. For awards with
performance conditions and multiple service dates, if the performance conditions are all set at inception and
independent for each year, each tranche is accounted for as a separate award with its own requisite service period.
Compensation cost is recognized over the respective requisite service period separately for each separately-vesting
tranche as though each tranche of the award is, in substance, a separate award.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, the accelerated method is required to recognize compensation expense for all
employee equity awards granted with graded vesting.
Accordingly, the reconciliation includes an expense recognition difference in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income of RMB8.63 million (negative) and RMB11.01 million for each of the six months ended June 30,
2025 and 2026, respectively.
