UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE FISCAL YEAR2025

The Company obtained control of the AIFU Inc.(“AIFU”) at the end of December 2023 upon the completion of the transfer of shares according to the written share exchange agreement and when effective control being operationally obtained. The Company’s significant year-over-year growth in the first half of fiscal year 2025 from July 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of AIFU. In contrast, the comparative financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2024 from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 do not include any profits of AIFU, as the acquisition was completed since December 31, 2023.


Net revenues

Net revenues for the first half of the fiscal year 2025 were RMB715.8 million (US$98.1 million), representing a 1911.9% increase from RMB35.6 million for the same period of the fiscal year 2024, primarily due to the acquisition of controlling interests in AIFU.

Net revenues for insurance agency business increased by 100% from nil for the first half of fiscal year 2024 to RMB430.3 million (US$59.0 million) for the first half of fiscal year 2025 due to the acquisition of AIFU. Revenues generated from the agency business accounted for 60.1% of our total net revenues for the first half of fiscal year 2025. Net revenues from our insurance agency business consist of net revenues derived from our life insurance business and non-life insurance business.
Net revenues from life insurance agency business consist of first year commissions, renewal commissions collected and renewal commissions recognized related to variable consideration estimates. Net revenues for the life insurance business were RMB357.5 million (US$49.0 million) for the first half of fiscal year 2025. Net revenues generated from our life insurance business accounted for 49.9% of our total net revenues for first half of fiscal year 2025. Total life gross written premiums (“GWP”) was RMB5.9 billion for the first half of fiscal year 2025, of which first year premium (“FYP”) were RMB0.6 billion while renewal premiums were RMB5.3 billion.
---
Revenues for the non-life insurance business were mainly derived from commissions generated for internet-based insurance products, including medical insurance, accident insurance, travel insurance and homeowner insurance products and to a lesser extent from commissions and services fees from the provision of insurance brokerage services for commercial line of insurance products. Net revenues for the non-life insurance business were RMB72.9 million (US$10.0 million) for first half of fiscal year 2025. Net revenues generated from the non-life insurance business accounted for 10.2 % of our total net revenues for first half of fiscal year 2025.

Net revenues generated from our claims adjusting business increased by 100% from nil for the first half of fiscal year 2024 to RMB254.9 million (US$34.9 million) for the first half of fiscal year 2025. Revenues for the claims adjusting business were mainly derived from commissions and fees primarily paid by the insurance companies for the provision of claims adjusting services, which accounted for 35.6% of our total net revenues for the first half of fiscal year 2025.
--- ---
Net revenues generated from our wealth management servicesand others for the first half of the fiscal year 2025 were RMB30.5 million (US$4.2 million), representing a 14.3% decrease from RMB35.6<br>million for the same period of the fiscal year 2024. Revenues generated from wealth management services and others accounted for 4.3%<br>of our total net revenues for the first half of fiscal year 2025.

Net revenues generated from the distribution of publicly raised fund products for the first half of the fiscal year 2025 were RMB28.2 million (US$3.9 million), representing a 14.6% increase from RMB24.6 million for the same period of the fiscal year 2024. This growth was mainly attributed to the boost from our institutional business. We have successfully attracted more institutional clients through a series of measures including enhancing the efficiency of our core transaction system, boosting our brand and reputation awareness, and broadening our product offerings. The transaction value contributed by institutional clients reached RMB97.8 billion for the first half of the fiscal year 2025, compared to 4.8 billion for the first half of the fiscal year 2024.

Net revenues generated from the distribution of privately raised fund products for the first half of the fiscal year 2025 were RMB2.3 million (US$0.3 million), representing a 59.6 % decrease from RMB5.7 million for the same period of the fiscal year 2024. The decrease was driven by two key factors: (i) heightened macroeconomic uncertainty and capital market volatility dampened investor risk appetite, resulting in a 27.2% decrease in private fund transaction value—from RMB21.7 million in the first half of fiscal year 2024 to RMB15.8 million in the first half of fiscal year 2025, which in turn reduced commission income (including management fees); and (ii) to better align with evolving investor preferences, we prioritized institutional clients in the publicly raised fund business.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Total operating costs and expenses increased by RMB793.2 million, or 1259.2%, from RMB63.0 million for the first half of the fiscal year 2024 to RMB856.2 million (US$117.3 million) for the first half of the fiscal year 2025, primarily due to the acquisition of controlling interests in AIFU which led to a100% increase in both insurance agency segment and claims adjusting segment.

operating costs and expenses for our insurance agency segment increased by 100% from nil for the first half of the fiscal year 2024 to RMB567.3 million (US$77.7 million) for the first half of the fiscal year 2025 due to the acquisition of AIFU.
operating costs and expenses for our claims adjusting segment increased by 100% from nil for the first half of the fiscal year 2024 to RMB246.4 million (US$33.8 million) for the first half of the fiscal year 2025 due to the acquisition of AIFU.
--- ---
operating costs and expenses for our wealth management services segment decreased from RMB63.0 million for the first half of the fiscal year 2024 to RMB42.5 million (US$5.8 million) for the first half of the fiscal year 2025, primarily due to (i) a decrease by 13.8 million in labor cost related to the optimization of our sales and marketing team and our administrative workforce and (ii) a decrease by 4.2 million in financial advisor commissions, primarily due to lower volume of wealth management products purchased by the individual clients referred to the Company by financial advisors.
--- ---

Impairment loss


Impairment loss on goodwill and intangible asset for the first half of the fiscal year 2025 primarily consisted of the impairment loss recognized on goodwill and intangible asset arising from acquisition of AIFU. Based on the underperformance of acquired business that the actual revenue and operating income declined as compared with projected results of current period, which was mainly due to the release of new industrial regulatory rules, a slowdown in macroeconomic condition and a sustained decrease in stock prices, we determined that it was more likely than not that there were indications of impairment for the reporting unit of Insurance Agency. Consequently, we recognized impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets amounting to RMB355.9 million (US $48.8 million) for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to nil in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Loss from operations

Net loss from fair value change

Net loss from fair value change was RMB4.7 million (US$0.6 million) for the first half of the fiscal year 2025, compared to nil for the first half of fiscal year 2024, which primarily reflected an unrealized loss of RMB4.7 million representing a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration in regard to AIFU’s business combinations in the first quarter of 2023.

Investment income

Investment income was RMB21.9 million (US$3.0 million) for the first half of the fiscal year 2025, compared to RMB68,000 for the first half of fiscal year 2024, which primarily related to the realized gain on available-for-sale investments.
