| ● | Adjusted Net Income (1) for the quarter was RMB2.6 million (US$0.4 million), compared to an adjusted net loss of RMB0.6 million for the prior-year quarter, while adjusted net loss for the first nine months of 2024 decreased 23.0% to RMB21.8 million (US$3.1 million), compared to the prior-year period. | |
| ● | Total written premiums placed for the quarter increased 4.0% to RMB5.9 billion (US$0.8 billion) compared to the prior-year period, while total written premiums placed for the first nine months of 2024 increased 4.1% over the comparable prior-year period to RMB16.9 billion (US$2.4 billion). | |
| ● | Total number of policies issued for the quarter increased 5.0% to 4.2 million from 4.0 million for the prior-year quarter, while the total number of policies issued over the first nine months of 2024 increased 11.9% over the comparable prior-year period to 12.2 million. | |
| ● | Partnerships with New Energy Vehicle (NEV) companies (2) numbered 14 in the quarter and led to 292,000 embedded policies with corresponding written premium of RMB884.2 million (US$126.0 million), representing an increase of 149.6% and 121.6 % compared to the prior-year quarter, respectively. Embedded policies and corresponding written premium for the first nine months of 2024 reached 636,000 and RMB1.9 billion (US$273.2 million), respectively, representing growth of 144.6 % for policies embedded and 104.2% for written premium compared to the prior-year period. |
(1) Adjusted Net Loss/Income is a non-GAAP measure. For further information on the non-GAAP financial measures presented above, see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below.
(2) The rapid growth of the NEV market has created new opportunities for auto insurance offerings and propelled revenue growth of auto insurance providers. Cheche started collaborating with NEV manufacturers in 2022, which yielded considerable results in 2023. Cheche believes that the further development of the NEV market and the introduction of innovative NEV auto insurance solutions will further fuel the revenue contribution of its partnership with NEV manufacturers. The management of Cheche utilizes the number of partnerships with NEV manufacturers, the number of insurance policies embedded in the new NEV deliveries, and the number of corresponding premiums generated from such embedded policies as the primary operating metrics to evaluate its business. It presents such operating metrics for investors to better understand and assess Cheche’s business.
Management Comments
“We are proud to announce that Cheche reported net income profitability for the first time on both a GAAP and adjusted net income basis. This quarter’s milestone substantiates the merit of our business model and the growing conviction in our value proposition,” said Lei Zhang, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of Cheche Group. “We continue to work with both NEV manufacturers and insurers to leverage advanced data analysis, delivering tools that will reward responsible drivers, reduce fraud, and bring efficiencies to claims processing to support profitability, transparency, and affordability as the transition to automated mobility accelerates.
Mr. Zhang continued, “With China producing 48% more NEVs in September over the prior year, according to China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, and NEV sales again surpassing traditional fuel car sales in the same month, our innovative platform will continue to meet the evolving insurance needs of car owners, manufacturers, and insurers.”
Unaudited Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Net Revenues were RMB850.5 million (US$121.2 million), representing a 3.3% year-over-year increase from the prior-year quarter. The growth was driven by increased insurance transactions conducted through Cheche’s platform by referral and third-party platform partners.
Cost of Revenues increased 3.0% year-over-year to RMB808.1 million (US$115.2 million) from the prior-year quarter, consistent with the growth of business volume and net revenues.
Selling and Marketing Expenses decreased 53.6% to RMB18.1 million (US$2.6 million) from RMB39.0 million in the prior-year quarter, mainly due to the decrease in share-based compensation expenses and staff cost. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, selling and marketing expenses were RMB17.4 million (US$2.5 million), a decrease of 6.5% compared to the prior-year quarter.
General and Administrative Expenses decreased 41.3% to RMB20.4 million (US$2.9 million) from RMB34.8 million for the prior-year quarter, mainly due to the decrease in share-based compensation and professional service fees. Excluding share-based compensation and listing-related professional service fees, general and administrative expenses increased by RMB3.5 million from RMB15.0 million to RMB18.5 million (US$2.6 million), primarily due to the increase of post-listing professional service fees.
Research and Development Expenses decreased 24.5% to RMB10.2 million (US$1.4 million) from RMB13.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The change was mainly due to decreased share-based compensation expenses, partially offset by the increase of staff costs. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, research and development expenses decreased 8.8% to RMB9.8 million (US$1.4 million) from RMB10.8 million in the prior-year quarter.
Total Cost and Operating Expenses decreased by 1.8% to RMB856.8 million (US$122.1 million) from RMB872.0 million in the prior-year quarter, mainly due to the increased cost of revenues and the decrease in share-based compensation expenses. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition and listing-related professional service fees, total cost and operating expenses increased by 3.0% from the prior-year quarter.
Net Income for the quarter was RMB4.1 million (US$0.6 million), compared to a net loss of RMB55.4 million for the prior-year quarter. Excluding non-GAAP expenses, the Adjusted Net Income (1) for the quarter was RMB2.6 million (US$0.4 million), due to the improvement of operating results and the positive impact from foreign exchange rates, compared to an adjusted net loss of RMB0.6 million for the prior-year quarter.
Net Income attributable to Cheche’s shareholders was RMB4.1 million (US$0.6 million), compared to a net loss attributable to Cheche’s shareholders of RMB707.6 million for the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted Net Income attributable to Cheche’s shareholders was RMB2.6 million (US$0.4 million), compared to an adjusted net loss attributable to Cheche’s shareholders of RMB652.7 million for the prior-year quarter.
Net Income Per Share, basic and diluted, was RMB0.05 (US$0.01), compared to a net loss per share of RMB17.52, basic and diluted, for the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted Net Income Per Share, basic and diluted, was RMB0.03 (US$0.00), compared to an adjusted net loss per share of RMB16.16, basic and diluted, for the prior-year quarter.

Cheche successfully launched a system for JI YUE, creating channels for online and offline purchasing of auto and non-auto insurance products. The system is integrated into Cheche’s core platform and is equipped with resources to grow and strengthen JI YUE’s sales channels and enhance account settlement capabilities, among other functionalities. | |
| ● | On September 12, 2024, Cheche announced a partnership with Laoyou Insurance Brokerage Co., Ltd. (“Laoyou Insurance”), a wholly controlled subsidiary of Great Wall Motor Company Limited (“GWM”), a top ten Chinese auto manufacturer. Cheche’s insurance solutions and mature transaction system have been gradually rolled out with GWM’s newly established direct-sales network in more than 20 cities nationwide. Cheche plans to develop a comprehensive insurance solution tailored for traditional automakers within one to two years. | |
| ● | On October 1, 2024, Cheche announced a strategic partnership with The Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Company (China) Limited (“TMNCH”), as Cheche continues to broaden its collaborations with insurance companies in China. Leveraging each other’s strengths, the two companies are working to develop specialized insurance products, services, and sales strategies. Cheche’s agreement with TMNCH is two pronged.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Cheche has provided non-GAAP financial measures in this press release that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States.
Cheche uses adjusted cost of revenues, adjusted selling and marketing expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted total cost and operating expenses, adjusted net loss/income, and adjusted net loss/income per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.
Cheche defines adjusted total cost and operating expenses as total cost and operating expenses adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of Cheche Insurance Sales & Services Co., Ltd. (previously named Fanhua Times Sales and Service Co., Ltd), listing-related professional service fees and dispute resolution expenses, representing expenses Cheche incurred in a dispute with a certain security holder. Cheche defines adjusted net loss/income as net loss/income adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and changes in fair value of amounts due to a related party related to the acquisition of Cheche Insurance Sales & Services Co., Ltd. (previously named Fanhua Times Sales and Service Co., Ltd), change in fair value of warrants, listing related professional service fees and dispute resolution expenses. Adjusted net loss/income per share, basic and diluted, is calculated as adjusted net loss/income divided by weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding.
Cheche believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisition, and change in fair value of amounts due to a related party associated with the acquisition of Cheche Insurance Sales & Services Co., Ltd. (previously named Fanhua Times Sales and Service Co., Ltd), change in fair value of warrants, and listing related professional service fees and dispute resolution expenses. Cheche believes that such non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP nor presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss /income or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of Cheche’s operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. Cheche encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Cheche mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance.
