FIRST QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Net revenues for the first quarter of 2023 were RMB803.5 million (US$117.0 million), a 1.0% increase from the corresponding period in 2022, primarily due to a 72.8% increase in one-time commissions, generating from more distribution of insurance products, partially offset by a 52.1% decrease in performance-based income relating to our private secondary products. Net revenues decreased by 8.9% from the fourth quarter of 2022, mainly due to decreases in one-time commissions.

Ms. Jingbo Wang, co-founder and CEO of Noah, said, “For the first quarter of 2023, I am happy to see a 12.0% year-on-year increase in transaction value, driven by growth in NAV-based mutual fund product and private secondary product distributions. During the quarter, we were glad to see the gradual lift of the prolonged COVID-control measures across China followed by a full-scale reopening, and I’m confident that the Chinese economy is back on its growth mode. However, we are mindful of the global macroeconomic challenges, therefore we continue to advise our clients to adopt a “Preservation before Growth” asset allocation strategy that we advocated last year. As high net worth investors’ growing demands for wealth management services are becoming more sophisticated, I’m confident that Noah will continue to win clients’ trust by leveraging our robust wealth management and asset management capabilities with a client centric mindset.”

DISCUSSION ON NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures excluding the effects of all forms of share-based compensation and net of tax impact, if any. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.
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 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 in the periods presented, management reviewed the foregoing non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders and per diluted ADS and non-GAAP net margin attributable to Noah shareholders to supplement U.S. GAAP financial data. As such, the Company’s management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its results of operations in a manner consistent with that used by management.
