<h3 id="revenue-and-profitability">Revenue and Profitability</h3>
<p>In 3Q 2023, GDS Holdings witnessed a 6.4% year-over-year increase in net revenue, totaling RMB 2,519.0 million (US$345.3 million). This upswing reflects a consistent growth trajectory in service revenues, aligning with the company’s strategic focus on expanding its market reach. Despite the revenue increase, the company reported a net loss of RMB 420.8 million (US$57.7 million), indicating a deepening of losses compared to RMB 339.7 million in the same quarter of the previous year. However, the adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) rose 5.6% year-over-year to RMB 1,126.3 million (US$154.4 million), with the adjusted EBITDA margin slightly dropping to 44.7%, from 45.0% in the previous year​​.</p>
<h3 id="operational-efficiency-and-expansion">Operational Efficiency and Expansion</h3>
<p>GDS Holdings demonstrated significant operational progress with a 5.7% year-over-year increase in the total area committed and pre-committed by customers, reaching 653,732 square meters. The area in service also saw an 8.6% increase, amounting to 554,210 square meters. <br><br>Interestingly, while the commitment rate for the area in service slightly declined to 91.9% from 95.6%, the area under construction and pre-commitment rates showed positive trends. The area under construction reached 189,585 square meters, with a pre-commitment rate of 76.1%, indicating robust future growth potentials. Customer area utilization surged by 10.8% year-over-year, emphasizing the company’s efficient utilization of its service areas​​.</p>
<p>GDS Holdings Limited’s third-quarter results for 2023 depict a mixed scenario. While revenue growth and operational expansion are evident, the increased net loss highlights challenges in profitability. However, the company’s strategic initiatives in expanding its service areas and customer commitments suggest a strong foundation for future growth and market consolidation.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
