Kanzhun (NASDAQ:BZ), the leading online recruitment platform in China, reported a significant leap in profitability for the 2025 fiscal year, driven by steady revenue growth and a dramatic improvement in operating efficiency.

The company posted full-year net income of RMB 2,690.5 million, marking a 71.7% increase year-over-year.

Total revenue for the year reached RMB 8,267.5 million, up 12.4% compared to 2024.

The company’s focus on monetization and cost discipline was evident in its operating income, which surged 110.1% to RMB 2,464.1 million.

The operator of the BOSS Zhipin app continues to benefit from a recovery in the Chinese labor market and increasing adoption of its direct-recruitment model by small and medium-sized enterprises.

In a move to bolster investor confidence, Kanzhun announced an aggressive new shareholder return framework.

The company plans to allocate no less than 50% of its prior-year adjusted net income toward share repurchases and dividends between 2026 and 2028.

To support this initiative, the board of directors has raised the company's share buyback authorization to US$400 million.
