BEIJING,Nov. 21,2024 -- Baidu,Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888 (HKD Counter) and 89888 (RMB Counter)),("Baidu" or the "Company"),a leading AI company with strong Internet foundation,today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30,2024.
"Baidu Core's flattish third quarter top line reflected the ongoing weakness in our online marketing business,offset by the growth of our AI Cloud business. Our strong AI capabilities are gaining broader market recognition,as evidenced by increasing adoption of ERNIE. In intelligent driving,Apollo Go continues to lead the global autonomous ride-hailing market,hitting another milestone with our sixth-generation autonomous vehicle now operating on public roads across multiple cities in China," said Robin Li,Co-founder and CEO of Baidu. "Despite the near-term pressures,we remain steadfast in our AI-focused strategy and are confident in our long-term trajectory. As we further scale AI,we are emboldened to find how it can drive innovations and create value forconsumers,enterprises and society at large."
"Our relentless focus on cost control helped support our third quarter results. Baidu Core's operating margins remained stable as we managed to further optimize costs and realize more cost efficiencies between business units," said Junjie He,Interim CFO of Baidu. "AI Cloud continued to show healthy and sustainable development in the third quarter. Meanwhile,Apollo Go continued to make operational strides,underpinning our confidence in the validity of the fully autonomous ride hailing business model."
