Recent Developments
- Seamless Integration of Large Language Model (LLM) into Core Operational Workflows:
- Driving Efficiency in R&D. By integrating LLMs and associated toolchains into the R&D workflow, the Company has realized comprehensive efficiency gains across both documentation and coding processes. For technical documentation, LLMs have generated over 1,000 documents. During the coding stage, tools such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) provided one-stop assistance, covering requirement decomposition, code writing, unit test generation, and automated validation. Notably, AI-generated code accounted for nearly
50% of new code developed in the third quarter. - Empowering Customer Service. The Company has piloted the integration of LLM capabilities into customer service scenarios, focusing primarily on call summarization and agent assistance functions. Embedded within the customer service workspace, these capabilities automatically generate service ticket summaries, extract key information post-call, and produce consumer intent labels, action logs, and recommended next steps. On the multimodal front, AI technology is employed to assist in consumer identity verification, while real-time voice analysis captures consumer sentiment dynamics, enabling agents to complete documentation and follow-ups more efficiently.
- Enhancing the Full Consumer Service Cycle Engine. The Company has introduced LLM-assisted modeling and automated feature extraction technologies into its full consumer service cycle engine. By embedding LLMs into the feature engineering pipeline, the Company leverages the models’ semantic understanding capabilities to analyze pseudonymised or anonymous consumer behavior, interaction semantics, and transaction information for high-dimensional feature extraction. It automatically generates and filters valuable features, enabling a transition from “manual feature design” to “intelligent feature generation,” significantly enhancing both modeling efficiency and performance.

By integrating LLMs and associated toolchains into the R&D workflow, the Company has realized comprehensive efficiency gains across both documentation and coding processes. For technical documentation, LLMs have generated over 1,000 documents.

Mr. Rui Fang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yuanbao, commented, “We sustained robust operational and financial momentum in the third quarter, driven by disciplined execution and the deepening integration of our AI capabilities. During this period, the number of new policies increased
On the product and service front, we offer a multi-dimensional product matrix spanning medical, critical illness, and accident insurance, and continue to roll out innovative, inclusive solutions to meet diverse user protection needs. For instance, the short-term critical illness insurance co-launched with our partnered insurance carriers offers an optimal combination of critical illness and medical insurance. It features a hybrid ‘lump-sum payment plus multiple reimbursements’ structure, providing immediate compensation upon diagnosis alongside coverage for subsequent medical expenses. This approach creates an innovative, inclusive solution for critical illness insurance that better aligns with market demand by balancing accessible coverage with affordability. Through the effective synergy of precise user targeting and agile product innovation, our user base continues to expand steadily. Looking ahead, we remain committed to strengthening our AI capabilities, deepening our footprint in the inclusive health insurance segment, and executing with financial discipline to deliver sustainable, long-term value for all stakeholders.”
Mr. Ray Wan, Chief Financial Officer of Yuanbao, added, “We delivered another strong quarter characterized by robust growth and continued efficiency gains. Total revenue reached RMB1,157.9 million, up

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income and adjusted net income margin, in evaluating the Company’s operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expense, and adjusted net income margin represents adjusted net income as a percentage of revenue. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider it in isolation. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Adjusted net income presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure to the Company’s data.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
