Noah Holdings (NYSE: NOAH) grows earnings on cost cuts even as revenue stalls
NOAH HOLDINGS LTD (NOAH) reported largely flat top-line but higher profitability for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Net revenues were RMB1,245.7 million, up 0.1% year on year, while income from operations rose 30.3% to RMB452.2 million as total operating costs fell 11.6%.
Net income attributable to shareholders increased 9.0% to RMB356.9 million, and non‑GAAP net income rose 3.9% to RMB371.9 million, helped by lower compensation, reduced credit-loss provisions and a swing from investment loss to income, partly offset by higher tax expense and a loss from equity in affiliates. Mainland China public securities revenue grew 60.0%, driven by a 506.6% jump in performance-based income, while Mainland China asset management revenue was broadly stable and Mainland China insurance revenue fell 75.2% amid a shift to a commission-only model.
International revenues softened: international wealth management revenue declined 33.8%, international asset management 10.1%, and international insurance and comprehensive services 12.3%, although actively managed AUM outside Mainland China increased 5.8% to RMB43.8 billion and AUA outside Mainland China reached RMB66.3 billion. The company held RMB4.32 billion in cash and cash equivalents, had no interest‑bearing liabilities, and reported a gearing ratio of 18.5%. During the period it repurchased 1,816,751 ADSs (9,083,755 shares) for US$20.4 million under its share repurchase program and continued to manage contingent exposure of RMB454.5 million related to the Camsing Incident.

- Mainland China public securities revenue grew 60.0% to RMB417.3 million, including a 506.6% surge in performance-based income from private secondary products.
- Strong liquidity and no debt: cash and cash equivalents of RMB4.32 billion, total assets of RMB11.6 billion, no interest-bearing liabilities and an 18.5% gearing ratio.
- Active international AUM growth: actively managed AUM outside Mainland China increased 5.8% to RMB43.8 billion, and AUA outside Mainland China reached RMB66.3 billion, showing continued client asset gathering.
- US$20.4 million share repurchase of 1,816,751 ADSs during the period, executed for long‑term enhancement of shareholder value.

Negative

- International revenues weakened: international wealth management revenue fell 33.8%, international asset management 10.1%, and international insurance and comprehensive services 12.3%.
- Mainland China insurance revenue dropped 75.2% to RMB3.4 million as distribution volumes declined during its transition to a commission-only broker model.
- Loss from equity in affiliates was RMB10.4 million versus income of RMB35.7 million a year earlier, reflecting adverse fair value changes in underlying investments.
- Contingent liabilities of RMB454.5 million remain related to the Camsing Incident, despite a RMB4.9 million reversal of contingent litigation expenses.
- Foreign currency translation losses widened to RMB117.9 million in other comprehensive income, reducing comprehensive income attributable to shareholders.
- International client activity softened, with active clients outside Mainland China down 4.3% in 2Q 2026 compared with the prior year quarter.

INSIDE INFORMATION
INTERIM RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026
This announcement is issued pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Inside Information Provision under Part XIVA of the SFO.
The Board is pleased to announce the unaudited consolidated interim results of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2026, together with the comparative figures for the corresponding period in 2025. These interim results have been prepared under the U.S. GAAP, which are different from the IFRS, and reviewed by the Audit Committee.
In this announcement, “Noah,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company and where the context otherwise requires, the Group. For classification of the Group’s business segments for the purpose of this announcement, “international” refers to business activities conducted in, or relating to, countries and regions outside Mainland China. Certain amounts and percentage figures included in this announcement have been subject to rounding adjustments, or have been rounded to one or two decimal places. Any discrepancies in any table, chart or elsewhere between totals and sums of amounts listed therein are due to rounding.
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
The global macroeconomic environment remained volatile in the first half of 2026, amid continued trade fragmentation and divergent monetary policy trajectories, which weighed on the global growth outlook. At the same time, rapid developments in the “New Economy,” particularly in artificial intelligence and semiconductor technologies, continued to reshape market dynamics and global supply chains, contributing to sector rotation and market volatility. Against this backdrop, liquidity conditions remained relatively tight, as major central banks maintained relatively restrictive monetary policies in response to inflationary pressures, while investors continued to demonstrate a preference for more defensive and safe-haven assets.
Geopolitical uncertainties, including ongoing trade tensions and technology export controls, contributed to periods of market volatility and continued demand for safe-haven assets. In China, consumer confidence remained relatively subdued. At the same time, evolving regulatory requirements relating to cross-border capital flows added complexity to the asset allocation decisions of high-net-worth (“HNW”) individuals. Against this backdrop, HNW individuals continued to prioritize wealth preservation and liquidity, with client demand increasingly shifting toward wealth management providers offering high-quality global investment strategies characterized by greater transparency, diversification and downside protection.
1
As highlighted in our semi-annual CIO1 report for the second half of 2026, we are witnessing a paradigm shift. If the past two decades were defined by strategies to hedge against inflation and allocate to inflation-protected assets, the coming years may increasingly be characterized by a new imperative: understanding and embracing the potential impact of technology-driven deflation and identifying the investment opportunities arising from it. We are guiding clients through this evolving landscape, where growth drivers may increasingly shift from debt-driven asset appreciation toward deflationary forces and efficiency gains enabled by technological innovation. In response, our adaptive allocation framework is designed to balance current defensive positioning with future-facing opportunities through three strategic pillars: inflation-hedged anchors, deflation-hedged assets and flexible bridge holdings.
Our Company’s disciplined, forward-looking strategy continues to provide us with flexibility to navigate this challenging environment and support the resilience of our business. Having recognized these structural shifts at an early stage, we began establishing our presence outside Mainland China several years ago.
As ever, we continue to see significant growth potential in serving global Chinese HNW investors internationally who share our cultural values and place their trust in our long-standing track record. As a key booking center, Singapore continued to demonstrate robust momentum, with deposit volumes rising steadily and transaction value through Singapore-based channels increasing, indicating further potential for expansion among local clients.
By consistently focusing on client and employee education, we believe we are strongly positioned to guide stakeholders through the evolving market environment. Our global growth journey remains at an early stage, and we remain confident in our ability to navigate challenges and capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead.
At the same time, the first half of 2026 marked a structural evolution in Noah’s operating model, as AI became increasingly embedded across our global platform and supported our progress toward scalable and sustainable growth. The deployment of “AI RMs” 2 supported the Company’s transition toward a more institutionalized and operations-driven model, expanding frontline servicing capacity and alleviating certain traditional human capital constraints. By augmenting advisory workflows and standardizing processes, AI enhances productivity, enables broader client coverage and supports greater operating efficiency. Leveraging our four global booking centers, we further advanced a digitally coordinated service infrastructure, under which AI-powered client engagement tools helped streamline cross-border onboarding and execution processes, significantly shorten the time required to deploy global asset allocation and maintain compliance standards. In parallel, we continued optimizing our revenue mix toward a more AUA-driven and investment-oriented structure, increasing the contribution from recurring and investment-related revenues while expanding our diversified suite of global solutions. AI-driven asset allocation – integrating real-time product intelligence with over two decades of proprietary client insights – is reinforcing cross-border synergies and strengthening our differentiated data capabilities. Entering the second half of 2026, the institutional integration of AI, coordination of global infrastructure and disciplined revenue optimization achieved during the first half of 2026 have laid a foundation for greater efficiency, deeper client engagement and resilient long-term growth in an increasingly AI-enabled financial landscape.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
During the Reporting Period, we navigated a complex macroeconomic environment while continuing to advance our organizational transformation. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were RMB1,245.7 million, representing an increase of 0.1% compared with the corresponding period in 2025. Net income attributable to the Shareholders increased by 9.0%, from RMB327.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB356.9 million for the Reporting Period. Similarly, non-GAAP net income attributable to the Shareholders increased by 3.9%, from RMB357.8 million in the corresponding period of 2025 to RMB371.9 million for the Reporting Period. These increases primarily reflected lower operating costs and expenses, including lower compensation and benefits expenses and provisions for credit losses, as well as a shift from investment loss to investment income, partially offset by a loss from equity in affiliates and higher income tax expense.
Despite the challenges, we remain committed to investing in international markets and strengthening our presence and wallet share of client assets among global Chinese clients. As of June 30, 2026, the number of registered clients outside Mainland China increased by 11.0% to 21,059 from 18,967 as of June 30, 2025, while AUA outside Mainland China, including distributed products but excluding AUA associated with our online securities services, increased by 1.8%, from RMB65.2 billion to RMB66.3 billion (US$9.8 billion) over the same period. In addition, AUA associated with our online securities services, which is not included in the AUA outside Mainland China presented above, increased by 7.6% from RMB2.6 billion as of June 30, 2025 to RMB2.8 billion (US$0.4 billion) as of June 30, 2026. The transaction value of products distributed by us outside Mainland China remained broadly stable at RMB16.7 billion for the Reporting Period, compared with RMB16.4 billion for the corresponding period in 2025.

Adjusted net income attributable to the Shareholders is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the income statement effects of share-based compensation, net of the relevant tax impact. A reconciliation of adjusted net income attributable to the Shareholders from net income attributable to the Shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, can be obtained by adding back expenses for share-based compensations. All tax expense impact of such adjustments would also be considered. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be prepared differently from and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
When evaluating the Company’s operating performance during the Reporting Period, management reviewed non-GAAP net income results reflecting adjustments to exclude the impact of share-based compensation and net of relevant tax impact. As such, the Company’s management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to the Shareholders provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its results of operations in a manner consistent with that used by management. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, the Company recognized significant amounts of expenses for share-based compensation (net of tax impact). To make its financial results comparable period by period, the Company utilizes non-GAAP adjusted net income to better understand its historical business operations. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Business Review for the Reporting Period
While the first half of 2026 continued to present challenges, it also provided an opportunity for our Company to demonstrate its resilience through disciplined cost management and the continued development of its global operations.
Mainland China Business Performance and Strategy
Our Mainland China business continued to operate against a complex macroeconomic backdrop in China. Total revenues from our three Mainland China business segments increased by 23.0%, from RMB618.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB761.2 million for the Reporting Period. The increase was primarily driven by a 60.0% increase in revenue from Mainland China public securities, supported by higher performance-based income from private secondary products, partially offset by decreases of 1.1% and 75.2% in revenue from Mainland China asset management and Mainland China insurance, respectively.
4
Against this backdrop, we maintained disciplined execution of our strategy in Mainland China. Operating costs and expenses for our three Mainland China business segments decreased by 14.5%, from RMB146.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB125.2 million for the Reporting Period, reflecting lower costs in Mainland China asset management and Mainland China insurance, partially offset by higher costs in Mainland China public securities. Going forward, we remain focused on cost control, client acquisition and operational efficiency.
Looking ahead, we believe that the growing sophistication of global Chinese investors and their increasing demand for diversified investment solutions align well with our evolving product suite. We continue to invest in talent development and technology infrastructure to position ourselves to pursue emerging opportunities. As capital market conditions evolve in Mainland China, we believe our established brand recognition and operational discipline will support sustainable growth over the long term.
Details of the development of our Mainland China business structured around three core segments during the Reporting Period are as follows:
Mainland China public securities
Our Mainland China public securities business, operating under the Noah Upright brand, distributes mutual funds and private secondary products in Mainland China. During the Reporting Period, total revenue from this segment increased by 60.0%, from RMB260.8 million to RMB417.3 million, primarily driven by a 506.6% increase in performance-based income from Mainland China private secondary products. Recurring service fees and one-time commissions increased by 1.8% and 10.3%, respectively.
Mainland China asset management
Our Mainland China asset management business, operating under the Gopher Asset Management brand, manages RMB-denominated private equity funds and private secondary products. Total revenue from this segment decreased by 1.1%, from RMB344.4 million to RMB340.5 million during the Reporting Period. A 15.9% decrease in recurring service fees, reflecting a lower management fee base as legacy onshore private equity products matured, was substantially offset by higher performance-based income. We continue to manage exit strategies for primary-market investments and develop secondary-market and cross-border investment offerings.
Mainland China insurance
Our Mainland China insurance business, operating under the Glory brand, distributes insurance products consisting primarily of life and health insurance products. Revenue from this segment decreased by 75.2%, from RMB13.7 million to RMB3.4 million during the Reporting Period, reflecting a lower volume of Mainland China insurance product distribution as the business continued its transition toward a commission-only broker model and the provision of comprehensive family succession planning services.
5
International Business Expansion and Vision
During the first half of 2026, our net revenues from international business were RMB469.2 million, accounting for 37.7% of the Group’s total net revenues, down from 48.3% in the corresponding period of 2025. The decrease in our net revenues from international business primarily reflected lower insurance-related income, lower one-time commissions from international wealth management products, and lower recurring service fees and performance-based income from international asset management. These decreases were partially offset by higher recurring service fees from international wealth management and higher other service fees from international insurance and comprehensive services. The lower proportion of net revenues from international business as a percentage of total net revenues was also attributable to substantial growth in performance-based income from our Mainland China business, particularly from Mainland China private secondary products, which in turn contributed to the increase in the Group’s total net revenues and correspondingly reduced the relative contribution from international business operations. Notwithstanding the decrease in our net revenues from international business, the transaction value of international private equity products increased by 71.0% compared with the corresponding period in 2025, reflecting continued client activity in this product category. We continue to invest selectively in our international booking centers and product capabilities to serve global Chinese HNW clients.
International wealth management
Our international wealth management business, operating under the ARK Wealth Management brand, provides both offline and online wealth management services.
As of June 30, 2026, the number of our registered clients outside Mainland China reached 21,059, representing an increase of 11.0% from June 30, 2025. During the second quarter of 2026, the number of active clients outside Mainland China who transacted with us was 3,494, representing a decrease of 4.3% from the corresponding quarter in 2025. Our AUA outside Mainland China, including distributed products but excluding AUA associated with our online securities services, increased by 1.8%, from RMB65.2 billion to RMB66.3 billion (US$9.8 billion) over the same period. In addition, AUA outside Mainland China associated with our online securities services, which is not included in the AUA presented above, was RMB2.8 billion (US$0.4 billion) as of June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 7.6% from RMB2.6 billion as of June 30, 2025. We will continue to deepen our coverage in key markets and expand our client base through existing client relationships and new client acquisition.
International asset management
Our international asset management business, operating under the Olive Asset Management brand, manages USD-denominated private equity funds and private secondary products. In recent years, we have strengthened our international primary-market product offerings through the establishment of a dedicated U.S. product center, enabling us to provide clients with a broader range of high-quality private equity products. In the secondary market, we have expanded our partnerships with top-tier global managers and diversified our offerings in structured products and hedge funds.
In the first half of 2026, fundraising for hedge funds and structured products reached US$0.6 billion, representing a 36.9% period-over-period increase. We raised US$0.4 billion in USD-denominated private equity and private credit funds, representing a 19.8% period-over-period increase. As of June 30, 2026, our actively managed AUM outside Mainland China reached RMB43.8 billion (US$6.5 billion), representing an increase of 5.8% from RMB41.4 billion as of June 30, 2025. We will continue to strengthen our global alternative investment capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our clients.
6
International insurance and comprehensive services
Our international insurance and comprehensive services business, operating under the Glory Family Heritage brand, provides insurance, trust and other comprehensive international services. Total revenue from this segment decreased by 12.3%, from RMB89.2 million to RMB78.2 million during the Reporting Period, as a 36.6% decrease in one-time commissions was partially offset by a 105.9% increase in other service fees.
As of June 30, 2026, we maintained a sound capital structure with total assets of RMB11.6 billion and no interest-bearing liabilities. Throughout the Reporting Period, we remained committed to compliance with the laws and regulations that had a material impact on our business, including the SFO, the Insurance Ordinance (Chapter 41 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and the Trustee Ordinance (Chapter 29 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Business Outlook
We believe the strategic and operational adjustments implemented throughout the first half of 2026 have laid a resilient foundation for our next phase of scalable growth. The successful establishment of our global headquarters in Singapore and the robust expansion of our international business operations validate our strategic trajectory and position us favorably to navigate evolving macroeconomic dynamics. Looking ahead, we remain firmly focused on three key areas:
First, we will continue expanding our client base. In Mainland China, we intend to capitalize on industry consolidation and improving market conditions to capture market share among HNW individuals seeking trusted wealth management partners. Internationally, we continue seeing significant untapped potential among global Chinese HNW investors, who remain underserved by local financial institutions in their respective domiciles. Building on our momentum in Asia, we are actively exploring market entry and expansion opportunities in new markets, including the U.S. Concurrently, we will continue investing in the recruitment and development of our commission-only broker network to drive the strategic turnaround of our insurance business.
Second, we are committed to enhancing our global product suite and investment capabilities to serve an increasingly diverse clientele. Guided by our “Global Network, Local Depth” approach, we will leverage our multi-jurisdictional presence to source premium, globally diversified investment opportunities while deepening our local market expertise. As our client base expands, we plan to further diversify our RMB- and USD-denominated offerings and optimize our global asset-allocation frameworks to deliver competitive portfolios. In the primary market, we will expand our distinctive ecosystem of top-tier product and investment partners to craft bespoke strategies and secure exclusive opportunities. In the secondary market, we will harness our global research and investment expertise to identify leading strategies from top-tier fund managers, thereby strengthening our capacity to deliver robust and adaptive asset-allocation solutions.
Third, maintaining operational excellence and structural efficiency remains paramount as we pursue sustainable growth. The disciplined cost-optimization initiatives and the integration of AI-driven advisory workflows executed since late 2025 have played an instrumental role in navigating the current economic landscape. We believe these structural improvements provide a robust foundation for sustainable margin expansion as revenue rebounds and growth accelerates.
Looking ahead, supported by our strengthened operational foundation, clear strategic vision, robust balance sheet, and healthy cash reserves, we remain highly confident in our ability to navigate market shifts, deliver sustainable growth, and create long-term value for our clients and Shareholders.

Total revenue from this business increased by 60.0%, from RMB260.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB417.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to a substantial increase in performance-based income generated from Mainland China private secondary products.

Total revenue from this business decreased by 75.2%, from RMB13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to a decrease in the distribution of Mainland China insurance products.

Total revenue attributable to headquarters decreased by 24.6%, from RMB35.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB26.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to lower other service fees.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Our financial condition and operating results are directly affected by our operating costs and expenses, which primarily consist of compensation and benefits expenses, selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, provisions for credit losses and other operating expenses, partially offset by government subsidies. Our operating costs and expenses are affected by various factors, including employee headcount and compensation levels, rental expenses and certain non-cash charges.
Consistent with the presentation of revenues, we present our operating costs and expenses across six Mainland China and international business segments, together with those attributable to our headquarters, to provide a comprehensive view of the cost and expense profile of each business segment.

Operating costs and expenses for the Mainland China insurance business decreased by 71.4%, from RMB36.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, broadly in line with the decrease in revenue from this business.

Operating costs and expenses for the international asset management business increased by 34.5%, from RMB57.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB77.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expenses associated with the expansion of this business.

Operating costs and expenses for the international insurance and comprehensive services business increased by 4.4%, from RMB56.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB59.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily reflecting continued investment in the commission-only broker network.
Headquarters
Operating costs and expenses attributable to headquarters decreased by 16.3%, from RMB430.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB360.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to lower compensation and benefits expenses and a lower provision for credit losses relating to the suspended lending business.
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits primarily comprise salaries and commissions for relationship managers, salaries and bonuses for investment professionals and other employees, share-based compensation expenses, and bonuses related to performance-based income. Total compensation and benefits decreased by 12.7%, from RMB603.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB526.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease primarily reflected compensation and headcount management measures and improvements in operating efficiency supported by the broader adoption of technology and AI-enabled tools. The changes in compensation and benefits across the Group’s business segments and headquarters are discussed below.
Mainland China public securities
Compensation and benefits for Mainland China public securities increased by 11.1%, from RMB61.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB68.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to higher commissions paid, consistent with the increase in revenue generated by this segment.
| 12 |
Mainland China asset management
Compensation and benefits for Mainland China asset management decreased by 26.4%, from RMB57.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB42.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to lower performance-related compensation for investment professionals associated with the relatively stable AUM of the segment.
Mainland China insurance
Compensation and benefits for Mainland China insurance decreased by 77.1%, from RMB27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was broadly consistent with the decrease in revenue from the distribution of Mainland China insurance products.
International wealth management
Compensation and benefits for international wealth management decreased by 17.3%, from RMB173.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB143.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. In particular, relationship manager compensation decreased by RMB28.2 million compared with the corresponding period in 2025, broadly consistent with the decrease in one-time commissions from the distribution of international investment products and the reduction in the number of relationship managers in this segment from 107 as of June 30, 2025 to 56 as of June 30, 2026.
International asset management
Compensation and benefits for international asset management increased by 47.9%, from RMB42.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB62.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to higher fixed salaries and bonuses for investment professionals.
International insurance and comprehensive services
Compensation and benefits for international insurance and comprehensive services decreased by 18.6%, from RMB35.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB29.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to lower compensation costs associated with the insurance business, broadly in line with the decrease in net revenues from insurance products.
Headquarters
Compensation and benefits attributable to headquarters decreased by 14.8%, from RMB203.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB173.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower share-based compensation expenses and a reduction in headcount across corporate functions, following continued organizational streamlining and the broader adoption of technology and AI-enabled tools.
| 13 |
Selling Expenses
Our selling expenses primarily include expenses associated with the operation of service centers and expenses for online and offline marketing activities. Selling expenses decreased by 18.6% from RMB113.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB92.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to lower service center costs and reduced spending on marketing and client events.
Among the Mainland China business segments, selling expenses for Mainland China insurance decreased by 95.1%, from RMB4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, broadly consistent with the decrease in net revenues generated by this segment.
Among the International business segments, selling expenses for international wealth management decreased by 20.1%, from RMB28.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, broadly consistent with the decrease in net revenues generated by this segment.
Selling expenses attributable to headquarters decreased by 16.3%, from RMB51.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to lower spending on brand marketing activities.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses primarily include rental and related expenses for office premises and professional service fees. General and administrative expenses increased by 4.5% from RMB135.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB141.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to higher legal and other professional service fees and continued investment by headquarters in technology and artificial intelligence capabilities.
Movements among the Mainland China and international business segments were not material in aggregate. Among the international business segments, general and administrative expenses for international wealth management decreased by RMB1.5 million compared with the corresponding period in 2025.
General and administrative expenses were incurred predominantly at headquarters, which accounted for 90.3% of the total for the six months ended June 30, 2026. General and administrative expenses attributable to headquarters increased by RMB6.0 million, from RMB121.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB127.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Therefore, the overall increase in general and administrative expenses was substantially attributable to headquarters.
Provision for or Reversal of Credit Losses
Provision for or reversal of credit losses represents net changes in allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial assets. We recorded a provision for credit losses of RMB10.8 million during the Reporting Period, representing a decrease of 75.4% from RMB44.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses at headquarters in relation to the suspended lending business.
| 14 |
Among the Mainland China business segments, a reversal of credit losses of RMB0.6 million was recorded during the Reporting Period, compared with a reversal of RMB0.2 million for the corresponding period in 2025, primarily attributable to a higher reversal of credit loss allowances on accounts receivable.
Among the international business segments, international insurance and comprehensive services recorded a provision for credit losses of RMB4.3 million during the Reporting Period, compared with a reversal of credit losses of RMB0.1 million for the corresponding period in 2025. The change was primarily attributable to a higher provision for credit losses on accounts receivable.
At headquarters, provision for credit losses decreased by 83.8% from RMB44.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to a lower provision related to the suspended lending business.
Other Operating Expenses
Our other operating expenses primarily comprise expenses incurred directly in connection with the generation of other service fees. Other operating expenses increased by 61.1%, from RMB24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB39.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase primarily reflected the period-on-period effect of a one-off adjustment recorded by Mainland China asset management in the corresponding period in 2025, as well as higher costs incurred by commission-only brokers in connection with the international insurance business.
Among the Mainland China business segments, the principal change was attributable to Mainland China asset management, which recorded other operating expenses of RMB3.0 million during the Reporting Period, compared with a net reversal of RMB5.7 million for the corresponding period in 2025. The change primarily reflected the absence during the Reporting Period of a one-off adjustment recorded in the corresponding period in 2025 that resulted in a net reversal of other operating expenses.
Among the international business segments, other operating expenses for international insurance and comprehensive services increased by 33.0%, from RMB13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB18.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily attributable to higher costs associated with the increased use of commission-only brokers for insurance distribution during the Reporting Period.
Other operating expenses attributable to headquarters remained relatively stable at RMB15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with RMB15.2 million for the corresponding period in 2025.
Government Subsidies
Our government subsidies are cash subsidies received in the PRC from local governments as incentives for investing and operating in certain local districts. Such subsidies are recorded as an offset to operating costs and expenses. Government subsidies decreased by 25.9% from RMB23.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to a decrease in government subsidies recognized by Mainland China public securities during the Reporting Period.
| 15 |
Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, income from operations increased by 30.3%, from RMB347.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB452.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily attributable to an 11.6% decrease in operating costs and expenses, including a 12.7% decrease in compensation and benefits expenses.
Other Income
Total other income increased by 7.0%, from RMB69.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB74.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily attributable to a shift from investment loss to investment income, partially offset by lower interest income and higher other expenses.
Income (Loss) from Equity in Affiliates
We recorded a loss from equity in affiliates of RMB10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with income from equity in affiliates of RMB35.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to fair value changes in the underlying investments held by certain affiliates.
Net Income
As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by 9.7%, from RMB328.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB360.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We finance our operations primarily through cash generated from our operating activities. Our principal use of cash for the Reporting Period was for operating, investing and financing activities. As of June 30, 2026, we had RMB4,322.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, consisting of cash on hand, demand deposits, fixed term deposits and money market funds which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. As of June 30, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents of RMB13.8 million were held by the consolidated funds, which although not legally restricted, are not available to our general liquidity needs as the use of such funds is generally limited to the investment activities of the consolidated funds. We believe that our current cash and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including our cash needs for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, need additional capital in the future to address unforeseen business conditions or other developments, including any potential investments or acquisitions we may pursue.
Significant Investments
The Company did not make or hold any significant investments during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Material Acquisitions and Disposals
During the Reporting Period, the Company did not conduct any material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries or affiliated companies.
| 16 |
Pledge of Assets
As of June 30, 2026, the Group did not have any pledged assets (as of December 31, 2025: nil).
Future Plans for Material Investments or Capital Assets
As of June 30, 2026, the Group did not have detailed future plans for material investments or acquisitions of capital assets.
Gearing Ratio
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s gearing ratio (i.e., total liabilities divided by total assets, expressed as a percentage) was 18.5% (as of December 31, 2025: 15.0%).
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represent amounts invoiced or we have the right to invoice. As we are entitled to unconditional right to consideration in exchange for services transferred to customers, we therefore do not recognize any contract asset. As of June 30, 2026, 84.4% of the balance of our accounts receivable was within one year (as of December 31, 2025: 90.5%).
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable represent amounts owed to suppliers and service providers for goods and services received in the ordinary course of business that remained unpaid. As of June 30, 2026, as the Group had no trade payables, the Group had no accounts payable (as of December 31, 2025: nil).
Foreign Exchange Exposure
As a result of our operations across multiple jurisdictions, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions and financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the relevant Group entities, particularly fluctuations between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar. A portion of our financial assets is denominated in U.S. dollars, while the Renminbi is our reporting currency. We have not used forward exchange contracts or foreign currency borrowings to hedge our foreign currency exposure. Although we may consider entering into hedging transactions in the future, suitable hedging instruments may not always be available or effective, and we may be unable to hedge our exposure adequately or at all. Our ability to manage foreign exchange exposure may also be affected by applicable PRC regulations governing the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Accordingly, material fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar, may adversely affect our cash flows, earnings and financial position, as well as the value of, and dividends payable on, our Shares and/or ADSs. For example, an appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar could increase the U.S. dollar cost of Renminbi-denominated investments or expenditures where we are required to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi. It could also result in foreign currency translation losses when our U.S. dollar-denominated financial assets are translated into Renminbi for financial reporting purposes. Conversely, an appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi could increase the Renminbi cost of U.S. dollar-denominated payments, including payments relating to dividends, strategic acquisitions or investments and other business purposes.
| 17 |
Contingent Liabilities
As of June 30, 2026, we had contingent liabilities of RMB454.5 million in relation to the unsettled Camsing Incident (as of December 31, 2025: RMB505.5 million). For further details, please refer to Notes 7 and 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this announcement.
Save as disclosed above and in “Material Litigation” in the section headed “Other Information” in this announcement, no material contingent liabilities, guarantees or any litigation against us, in the opinion of our Directors, are likely to have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations as of June 30, 2026.
Capital Expenditures and Capital Commitment
Our capital expenditures primarily comprise purchases of property and equipment and costs associated with the renovation and upgrading of newly purchased office premises. Our capital expenditures decreased from RMB48.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to RMB19.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily because the corresponding period in 2025 included higher expenditures relating to the renovation and upgrading of our offices in Hong Kong. As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any material capital expenditure commitments or other material cash requirements relating thereto outside our ordinary course of business (as of December 31, 2025: nil).
Loans and Borrowings
The Group had no outstanding loans, overdrafts or borrowings from banks or any other financial institutions as of June 30, 2026 (as of December 31, 2025: nil).
Employees and Remuneration
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a total of 1,582 employees. The following table sets out a breakdown of our full-time employees by business and function as of June 30, 2026:

The remuneration package of our employees includes salaries and commissions for our relationship managers, salaries and bonuses for investment professionals and other employees, share-based compensation expenses for our employees and Directors, and bonuses related to performance-based income.
As required by regulations in China, we participate in various employee social security plans that are organized by municipal and provincial governments, including endowment insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, employment injury insurance, medical insurance and housing provident fund. We enter into standard labor, confidentiality and non-compete agreements with our employees. The non-compete restricted period typically expires two years after the termination of employment, and we agree to compensate the employee with a certain percentage of his or her pre-departure salary during the restricted period.
We believe that we maintain a good working relationship with our employees, and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes during the Reporting Period.
We have been continuously investing in training and education programs for employees. We provide formal and comprehensive company-level and department-level training to our new employees, followed by on-the-job training. We also provide training and development programs to our employees from time to time to ensure their awareness and compliance with our various policies and procedures. Some of the training is conducted jointly by departments serving different functions but working with or supporting each other in our day-to-day operations.
The Company has also adopted the 2022 Share Incentive Plan. Further details in respect of the 2022 Share Incentive Plan are set out in the Company’s circular dated November 14, 2022.
OTHER INFORMATION
Compliance with the Corporate Governance Code
The Board is committed to achieving high corporate governance standards. The Board believes that high corporate governance standards are essential in providing a framework for the Company to safeguard the interests of Shareholders and to enhance corporate value and accountability.
During the Reporting Period, we have complied with all the code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code save for the following. The Board will review the corporate governance structure and practices from time to time and shall make necessary arrangements when the Board considers appropriate.
Code Provision B.3.5 of the Corporate Governance Code requires issuers to appoint at least one director of a different gender to the nomination committee. During the Reporting Period, the composition of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee comprised directors of the same gender, who are three highly qualified female Directors. The Board believes that the underlying policy intent of this code provision – to promote gender diversity and mitigate the risk of historically male-dominated governance structures – is effectively satisfied by our current composition. Consequently, the Board considers that the spirit and objective of the code provision have been fully observed. The Board will continue to evaluate the committee’s composition from time to time and will factor in gender diversity, alongside requisite expertise and experience, when identifying suitable candidates in the future.

Compliance with the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors
The Company had implemented the Management Control Measures on Material Non-Public Information and the Policy on Prohibition of Insider Dealing (the “Code”) and on August 22, 2024, further adopted the Statement of Policies Governing Material Non-Public Information and the Prevention of Insider Trading (the “Statement”) as an amendment to the Code. The Statement, with terms no less exacting than the Model Code, serves as the Company’s own securities dealing code to regulate all dealings by Directors and relevant employees of securities in the Company and other matters covered by the Statement.
Specific enquiry has been made of all the Directors and the relevant employees and they have confirmed that they have complied with the Model Code and the Statement during the Reporting Period.
Purchase, Sale or Redemption of the Company’s Listed Securities
On August 29, 2024, the Board authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), under which the Company may repurchase up to US$50 million of its ADSs or Shares, effective on the same date. The authorized term for carrying out the Share Repurchase Program is two years. For further details of the Share Repurchase Program, please refer to the Company’s announcement dated August 29, 2024.
During the Reporting Period, the Company repurchased a total of 1,816,751 ADSs (representing 9,083,755 Shares) on the NYSE for cancellation for an aggregate consideration of US$20,421,177.21 (before expenses), of which nil has been canceled as of June 30, 2026. The repurchase was effectuated by the Board for the enhancement of shareholder value in the long term. As all ADSs repurchased by the Company during the Reporting Period were for the purpose of cancellation rather than to be held in treasury, the Company did not hold any treasury shares as of June 30, 2026. Particulars of the repurchases made by the Company during the Reporting Period are as follows:

On July 7, 2026 (U.S Eastern Time), the Company cancelled 9,378,935 Shares, underlying the 1,875,787 ADSs repurchased on the NYSE from December 23, 2025 to May 27, 2026 (U.S. Eastern Time) for cancellation, after evaluating the then market conditions as well as the Company’s capital management plan. The Company did not hold any treasury shares as of the date of this announcement.

Save as disclosed above, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries purchased, sold, or redeemed any of the Company’s securities listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or any other stock exchanges (including sale of treasury shares (as defined in the Hong Kong Listing Rules)) during the Reporting Period.
Material Litigation
Reference is made to the Company’s 2025 annual report in relation to the legal proceedings (including arbitration proceedings) against Shanghai Gopher and/or its affiliates in connection with the Camsing Incident. In December 2025, Shanghai Gopher received a number of arbitration awards issued by the Shanghai International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (Shanghai International Arbitration Center) (the “SHIAC”) in respect of such proceedings, pursuant to which, Shanghai Gopher was ordered to compensate the relevant investors, all of whom are Affected Clients (as defined below) for 70% of their principal investments, while their claims for interest or investment returns were not supported.
As of June 30, 2026, 15 legal proceedings (including arbitration proceedings) against Shanghai Gopher and/or its affiliates in connection with the Camsing Incident remained pending, involving an aggregate claimed investment amount of approximately RMB77.4 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2026 and up to the date of this announcement, one additional arbitration case was initiated against Shanghai Gopher and/or its affiliates in connection with the Camsing Incident, involving an additional disputed amount of approximately RMB1.0 million. Based on the arbitration awards issued to date, the management of the Group assessed the possible outcomes of the pending proceedings and made appropriate adjustments to the relevant contingent liabilities.
As of the date of this announcement, SHIAC had issued similar arbitration awards in respect of an aggregate of 96 independent cases, involving 94 Affected Clients (as defined below)3 and with an aggregate disputed amount of approximately RMB305.8 million.
Save as disclosed above, we were not a party to, and we were not aware of any judicial, arbitration or administrative proceedings that were pending or threatened against our Group during the six months ended June 30, 2026, that, in the opinion of our Directors, were likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may from time to time be involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of our business.
Settlement under the Settlement Arrangements
The Company voluntarily offered ex gratia settlement arrangements to the 818 affected clients (the “Affected Clients”) in connection with the Camsing Incident (as defined in the Prospectus), comprising the RSU Settlement Plans and the Cash Settlement Plan described below.
RSU Settlement Plans
Reference is made to the Company’s 2025 annual report and its circular dated April 30, 2026 (the “2026 AGM Circular”).
| 3 | The number of independent cases is presented without deduplicating the Affected Clients involved. Two Affected Clients were each involved in two separate cases relating to separate fund investments. Accordingly, the 96 independent cases involved 94 Affected Clients on a deduplicated basis. |
21
Prior to the Listing Date, the Company voluntarily offered two RSU vesting plans (Plan A and Plan B), to the Affected Clients (collectively, the “Previous RSU Settlement Plan”). As of the Listing Date, 595 of the 818 Affected Clients had accepted settlement offers under the Previous RSU Settlement Plan. In 2024, the Company voluntarily offered a further RSU settlement plan to the remaining 223 Affected Clients (the “New RSU Settlement Plan” and, together with the Previous RSU Settlement Plan, the “RSU Settlement Plans”). As of June 30, 2026, eight of those 223 Affected Clients had accepted settlement offers under the New RSU Settlement Plan. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026, a total of 603 Affected Clients had accepted settlement offers under the RSU Settlement Plans (the “RSU Settlement Clients”), while the remaining 215 Affected Clients had not accepted a settlement offer under either of the RSU Settlement Plans (the “Remaining Affected Clients”). Under the RSU Settlement Plans, each Affected Client who accepted a settlement offer would receive RSUs subject to the applicable vesting schedule, with the corresponding Shares to be issued upon vesting of such RSUs.
Reference is made to the 2026 AGM Circular and the poll results announcement of the Company in relation to the annual general meeting held on June 11, 2026 (the “2026 AGM”). Pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed by the Shareholders at the 2026 AGM, the Board was authorized to effect the accelerated vesting of all RSUs granted to the RSU Settlement Clients and remaining outstanding as of the date of the relevant Board resolution (the “Accelerated Vesting”). Under the Accelerated Vesting, all such outstanding RSUs would vest in full in a single tranche, except for any RSUs that had vested or were due to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedules before the relevant Board resolution. The Accelerated Vesting involved the allotment and issue of up to 15,373,813 Shares. The Shareholders also approved the allotment and issue of up to 11,575,680 Shares upon the grant and vesting of up to 1,157,568 RSUs to any of the Remaining Affected Clients who may accept a settlement offer under the New RSU Settlement Plan before the conclusion of the Company’s next annual general meeting.
During the Reporting Period and from June 30, 2026 up to the date of this announcement, none of the Remaining Affected Clients accepted a settlement offer under the New RSU Settlement Plan.
During the Reporting Period, (i) 17,833 RSUs involving 178,330 Shares, represented by 35,666 ADSs, vested in accordance with their original vesting schedules, and the corresponding Shares were issued on June 2, 2026 (U.S. Eastern Time); and (ii) pursuant to the Accelerated Vesting approved at the 2026 AGM, all RSUs remaining outstanding under the RSU Settlement Plans vested in full in a single tranche, and 15,195,483 Shares were issued on June 27, 2026 (U.S. Eastern Time).
As of June 30, 2026, an aggregate of 3,770,377 RSUs involving 37,703,770 Shares, represented by 7,540,754 ADSs, had been granted to the RSU Settlement Clients under the RSU Settlement Plans. All such RSUs had vested, and no RSUs granted under the RSU Settlement Plans remained outstanding. From June 30, 2026 and up to the date of this announcement, no additional RSUs had been granted or vested under the RSU Settlement Plans.
Cash Settlement Plan
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company, through relevant Group entities, voluntarily offered an ex gratia cash settlement plan to the 215 Remaining Affected Clients, including those involved in arbitration proceedings relating to the Camsing Incident (the “Cash Settlement Plan”).
22
Under the Cash Settlement Plan, each Remaining Affected Client may elect to settle their claims in cash through either a one-off lump-sum payment or installment payments. Participation in the Cash Settlement Plan is voluntary and subject to the relevant Remaining Affected Client entering into a settlement agreement with the relevant Group entities, pursuant to which such Affected Client agrees to release the Group from claims arising out of or in connection with the Camsing Incident. The Cash Settlement Plan is offered on an ex gratia basis and does not constitute an admission of liability by the Company or any other member of the Group. The Company may, at its discretion, vary or withdraw the Cash Settlement Plan.
During the Reporting Period, 21 of the 215 Remaining Affected Clients entered into settlement agreements under the Cash Settlement Plan. From June 30, 2026 and up to the date of this announcement, an additional 47 Remaining Affected Clients entered into such settlement agreements. Accordingly, as of the date of this announcement, a total of 68 Remaining Affected Clients had entered into settlement agreements under the Cash Settlement Plan, leaving 147 Affected Clients who had neither accepted a settlement offer under the RSU Settlement Plans nor entered into a settlement agreement under the Cash Settlement Plan.
Events after the Reporting Period
Save as disclosed in this announcement, there were no significant events that might materially affect the Group after June 30, 2026 and immediately before the date of this announcement.
Interim Dividend
The Board does not recommend the distribution of an interim dividend for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 1. | Organization and Principal Activities |
Noah Holdings Private Wealth and Asset Management Limited (the “Company”), its subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) (together, the “Group”), is a leading and pioneering wealth management service provider in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) offering comprehensive one-stop advisory services on global investment and asset allocation primarily for high net wealth (“HNW”) investors. The Group began offering services in 2005 through Shanghai Noah Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Noah Investment”), a consolidated VIE, founded in the PRC in August 2005.
| 2. | Summary of Principal Accounting Policies |
| (a) | Basis of Preparation |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
| (b) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements include assumptions used to determine valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, allowance for credit losses, fair value measurement of underlying investment portfolios of the funds that the Group invests, fair value of Level 3 investments, assumptions related to the consolidation of entities in which the Group holds variable interests and loss contingencies.
| (c) | Foreign Currency Translation |
The Company’s reporting currency is Renminbi (“RMB”). The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar or US$”). The Company’s operations are principally conducted through the subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC where RMB is the functional currency. For those subsidiaries and VIEs which are not located in the PRC and have the functional currency other than RMB, the financial statements are translated from their respective functional currencies into RMB.
Assets and liabilities of the Group’s overseas entities denominated in currencies other than the RMB are translated into RMB at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are reported as foreign currency translation adjustment and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Translations of amounts from RMB into US$ are included solely for the convenience of the readers and have been made at the rate of US$1 = RMB6.7851 on June 30, 2026, representing the certificated exchange rate published by the Federal Reserve Board. No representation is intended to imply that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate, or at any other rate.
29
| 3. | Revenues |
The Group derives revenue primarily from one-time commissions, recurring service fees and performance-based income paid by clients or investment product providers. The disaggregation of revenues by service lines has been presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Revenues by timing of recognition are analyzed as follows:

Hong Kong
Under the current Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance, the first HK$2 million of profits earned by the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong will be taxed at half the current tax rate (i.e. 8.25%) while the remaining profits will continue to be taxed at the existing 16.5% tax rate. The profits of group entities incorporated in Hong Kong not qualifying for the two-tiered profits tax rates regime will continue to be taxed at a flat rate of 16.5%. In addition, payments of dividends from Hong Kong subsidiaries to their shareholders are not subject to any Hong Kong withholding tax.

| 7. | Camsing Incident |
In July 2019, in connection with certain funds managed (“Camsing Credit Funds” or “Camsing Products”) by Shanghai Gopher Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Gopher”), a consolidated affiliated subsidiary of the Company, it is suspected that fraud had been committed by third parties related to the underlying investments (the “Camsing Incident”). A total of 818 investors were affected, and the outstanding amount of the investments that is potentially subject to repayment upon default amounted to RMB3.4 billion.
RSU Settlement Plan
To preserve the Group’s goodwill with affected investors, it voluntarily made an exgratia settlement offer (the “RSU Settlement Plan”) to affected investors. An affected client accepting the offer shall receive RSUs, which upon vesting will become ordinary shares of the Company, and in return forgo all outstanding legal rights associated with the investment in the Camsing Credit Funds and irrevocably release the Company and all its affiliated entities and individuals from any and all claims immediately, known or unknown, that relate to the Camsing Credit Funds.
On August 24, 2020, the RSU Settlement Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company that a total number of new Class A ordinary shares not exceeding 1.6% of the share capital of the Company has been authorized to be issued each year for a consecutive ten years for the RSU Settlement Plan.
The Group evaluated and concluded the financial instruments to be issued under the RSU Settlement Plan meet equity classification under ASC 815-40-25-10. Therefore, such instruments were initially measured at fair value and recognized as part of additional-paid-in-capital.
As of June 30, 2026, 603 out of the total 818 investors (approximately 73.7%) had accepted settlements under the plan, representing RMB2.6 billion (approximately 76.5%) out of the total outstanding investments of RMB3.4 billion under the Camsing Products, while the remaining 215 affected clients had not accepted a settlement offer under the RSU Settlement Plan (the “Remaining Affected Clients”).
During the six months period ended June 30, 2026, pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed by the shareholders at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, the Board of directors was authorized to effect the accelerated vesting (the “Accelerated Vesting”) of all outstanding RSUs granted to the settled affected clients, such that all such outstanding RSUs would vest in full in a single tranche. During the six months period ended June 30, 2026, (i) 17,833 RSUs involving 178,330 shares, vested in accordance with their original vesting schedules; and (ii) pursuant to the Accelerated Vesting, all RSUs remaining outstanding under the RSU Settlement Plans vested in full in a single tranche, and 15,195,483 shares were issued.

Contingencies on Camsing Incident
Starting from December 2025 and up to the date of this announcement, Shanghai Gopher received a number of arbitration awards issued by the Shanghai International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in respect of legal proceedings in connection with the Camsing Incident, involving a total of 96 independent cases with an aggregate claimed investment amount of approximately RMB305.8 million. Pursuant to the arbitration awards, Shanghai Gopher was ordered to compensate the relevant investors for 70% of their principal investments, while claims for interest or investment returns were not supported. The arbitration awards and the related pending arbitration proceedings relate solely to Shanghai Gopher, which is a lawfully established and independently operated historical business entity, with independent accounting and independent civil liabilities.
As of June 30, 2026, 15 legal proceedings against Shanghai Gopher and/or its affiliates, with an aggregate claimed investment amount over RMB77.4 million were still pending. Subsequent to June 30, 2026 and up to the date of this announcement, one additional arbitration case was initiated against Shanghai Gopher and/or its affiliates, involving an additional claimed investment amount of approximately RMB1.0 million.
Based on the arbitration awards issued to date, the Group assessed the possible outcomes of the pending proceedings and made appropriate adjustments to the relevant contingent liabilities.
Cash Settlement Plan
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company, through relevant Group entities, voluntarily offered an ex gratia cash settlement plan to the 215 Remaining Affected Clients, including those involved in arbitration proceedings relating to the Camsing Incident (the “Cash Settlement Plan”).
Under the Cash Settlement Plan, each Remaining Affected Client may elect to settle its claim in cash, either by way of a single payment or by way of payment in instalments. Acceptance is voluntary and at the election of the Remaining Affected Client, and settlement is conditional upon the Remaining Affected Client entering into a settlement agreement with the relevant member of the Group and releasing its claims against the Group in connection with the Camsing Incident. The Cash Settlement Plan does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of the Company or any member of the Group, is offered at the discretion of the Company and may be varied or withdrawn by the Company.
The investors who had previously accepted the RSU Settlement Plan are unaffected, and their settlement arrangements continue to be governed by the applicable terms of such plan, as modified by the Accelerated Vesting.
During the second quarter of 2026, 21 of the 215 Remaining Affected Clients entered into settlement agreements under the Cash Settlement Plan, involving an aggregate investment amount of approximately RMB76.2 million.
Subsequent to June 30, 2026 and up to the date of this announcement, additional 47 affected investors had entered into settlement agreements under the Cash Settlement Plan, involving an aggregate investment amount of approximately RMB163.7 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, based on the possible outcomes of arbitration proceedings, the actual settlement costs and the settlement plans offered, the Group recognized a reversal of contingent litigation expense of RMB4.9 million and remained a balance of contingent liability amounting to RMB454.5 million as of June 30, 2026.
