During the past year, we successfully maintained our industry leadership position in our traditional businesses. We also achieved steady progress in new business areas. In addition, our diverse and high-quality content continued to drive the expansion of our user base and better user engagement. According to QuestMobile, in December 2021, our mobile daily active users reached a record high with an 11.4% year-over-year increase, further cementing our leadership position in the industry. Furthermore, revenues from new energy vehicle (“NEV”) brands for 2021 more than doubled year-over-year as we continue to engage with NEV automakers. We’re also delighted to see higher adoption of our data products by dealer-customers in 2021, as we continue to enhance our data products with additional innovative premium features.”

Mr. Long added, “On top of these accomplishments, we successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and implemented our strategy upgrade in 2021, both marking historic milestones for the Company. We also launched a share repurchase program while maintaining our annual dividend policy, which evidence confidence in our corporate strategy and long-term prospect. Stepping into 2022, we will continue to bring best-in-class products and services to our users and customers and invest strategically in new territories to enable our sustainable growth and long-term value creation.”

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 Inc., 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 Inc. as net income attributable to Autohome Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, certain noncontrolling interests adjustments for TTP (for the first time starting in the first quarter of 2021 included interest income related to convertible bond investment to TTP, which is eliminated in

7

consolidation), and investment loss relating to non-operating impact of a write-down of the initial investment in a financial product, adjusted for related income tax effects. We define Non-GAAP basic and diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome Inc. divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares. We define Adjusted net margin as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome Inc. divided by total net revenues. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Autohome Inc. 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 non-operating items in nature. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations, as the excluded certain items that have been and will continue to be incurred in the future and are not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures, but 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 “Reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
