ChecheGroup Reports First Half 2025 Unaudited Financial Results


●    Announcing New Strategic Initiatives to Commercialize AI Tools Internationally

BEIJING, China – August 28, 2025 – Cheche Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CCG) (“Cheche”, the “Company” or “we”), China’s leading auto insurance technology platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

KeyBusiness Highlights

Partnerships with New Energy Vehicle (NEV) companies ^(1)^ numbered 15 in the first half<br> 2025 and led to 810,000 policies with corresponding written premium of RMB2.6 billion (US$361.3<br> million), representing an increase of 135.5% and 150.6%, respectively, compared to the prior-year<br> period.
Gross profit increased 1.7% to RMB65.8 million (US$9.2 million) compared to the prior-year<br> period, as the improved business structure (the proportion of NEV premium out of total written<br> premium increased to 22.5% from 9.3% for the prior-year period) led to a higher gross margin.
Net loss for the period improved 53.4% year-over-year to RMB25.6 million (US$3.6 million)<br> from RMB54.9 million in the prior-year period.
Adjusted net loss ^(2)^ for the period improved 56.9% to RMB10.5 million (US$1.5 million)<br> from RMB24.4 million in the prior-year period.
Total written premiums placed for the first half of 2025 was RMB11.5 billion (US$1.6 billion)<br> increasing 4.0% compared to RMB11.1billion for the prior-year period.
Total number of policies issued for the first half year increased 3.8% to 8.3 million from<br> 8.0 million for the prior-year period.
New strategic initiatives: The AI-Driven Intelligent Insurance Tool and Fintech Solution for Automakers Abroad next-gen AI capabilities will leverage Cheche’s<br> expertise overseas by applying advanced pricing models and supporting alignment of global<br> insurance standards, as well as accelerating the industry’s globalization by linking<br> automakers, insurers, and vehicle owners through collaborative models.

(1)The rapid growth of the NEV market has created new opportunities for auto insurance offerings and propelled revenue growth of auto insuranceproviders. Cheche started to collaborate with NEV manufacturers in 2022, and such collaborations yielded considerable results in 2023.Cheche believes that the further growth of the NEV market and the introduction of innovative NEV auto insurance solutions will furtherfuel the revenue contribution of its partnership with NEV manufacturers. The management of Cheche utilizes the number of partnershipswith NEV manufacturers, the number of insurance policies embedded in the new NEV deliveries, and the amount of corresponding premiumgenerated from such embedded policies as the main operating metrics to evaluate its business and presents such operating metrics forinvestors to better understand and evaluate Cheche’s business.

(2)Adjusted Net Loss is a non-GAAP measure. For further information on the non-GAAP financial measures presented above, see the “Non-GAAPFinancial Measures” section below.



ManagementComments


“We delivered substantial bottom-line improvement on both an actual and adjusted basis, reflecting the continued optimization of our revenue structure, disciplined cost control, and expense reductions across all three major categories,” said Lei Zhang, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of Cheche Group. “While our top line was moderated by lower fee rates from NEV vehicles within the revenue mix, the rapid adoption of new energy vehicles and the ongoing transformation of the mobility sector present a long runway of opportunity. As the Company strengthens partnerships with NEV makers and expands its insurance operations, we expect that opportunity to translate to approximately 30%–40% of China’s NEV market over the next three to five years.

“Today’s announcement on how we plan to commercialize our AI-powered innovations marks an important milestone for Cheche. With two forward-looking initiatives—the AI-Driven Intelligent Insurance Tool and the *Fintech Solution for Automakers Abroad—*we are extending our leadership beyond China. This strategy, developed in collaboration with insurers and auto manufacturers, is intended to span Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Latin America and is designed to test and refine China’s advanced NEV pricing models across international markets, while supporting greater consistency in global insurance practices and strengthening our capacity as the digital backbone connecting automakers, insurers, and vehicle owners worldwide. We believe this strategic direction not only enhances our position domestically but also establishes Cheche as a central player in shaping the next generation of global mobility and intelligent insurance. Our continued focus on efficiency, adaptability, and innovation will help us to capture greater value going forward.”

UnauditedFirst Half Year 2025 Financial Results


NetRevenues were RMB1,348.7 million (US$188.3 million), representing a 17.7% year-over-year decrease from the prior-year period as a result of the proportion of NEV premiums, for which the insurance service fee rate was lower, out of total written premium increased to 22.5% from 9.3%.

Costof Revenues decreased 18.5% year-over-year to RMB1,282.9 million (US$179.1 million) from the prior-year period due to a decline in net revenues and higher gross margin driven by the rapid growth of the NEV business.

Grossprofit increased 1.7% to RMB65.8 million (US$9.2 million) compared to the prior-year period, despite the lower net revenues, as the improved business structure led to a higher gross margin.

Sellingand Marketing Expenses decreased 10.6% to RMB37.3 million (US$5.2 million) from RMB41.7 million in the prior-year period, mainly due to the decrease in staff cost, amortization of right-of-use assets and share-based compensation expenses.

Researchand Development Expenses decreased slightly to RMB18.3 million (US$2.6 million) from RMB18.5 million in the prior-year period. The change was mainly driven by decreased staff costs and share-based compensation, partially offset by increased professional service fees. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, research and development expenses increased 3.4% to RMB17.8 million (US$2.5 million) from RMB17.2 million in the prior-year period.

Non-GAAPFinancial 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 selling and marketing expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted total operating expenses, adjusted net loss, and adjusted net loss 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 operating expenses as total operating expenses adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation and dispute resolution expenses, which represents expenses incurred by Cheche in connection with settling a dispute with a certain security holder. Cheche defines adjusted net loss as net loss 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, and dispute resolution expenses. Adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, is calculated as adjusted net loss 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 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, 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 and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss 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.
