Operating results for other businesses (under the Company’s traditional segmentation) also include headquarters rental income, depreciation and amortization, as well as operating expenses.

Ms. Jingbo Wang, co-founder and chairwoman of Noah, commented, “We have been making progress since last year in repositioning ourselves to drive growth in this challenging market environment. We are delighted to announce that the Group achieved a recovery in profitability this quarter, reflecting improved operational efficiency and strategic progress. Income from operations grew by 53.1% year-on-year and 35.2% quarter-on-quarter, while non-GAAP net profit rose by 27.4% quarter-on-quarter. Net revenues declined due to a decrease in distribution of domestic insurance products and RMB private equity management fees; however, overseas revenue continued to grow and now accounts for nearly 50% of total net revenues, showcasing our diversification efforts. Looking ahead, we remain committed to advancing our strategy, driving sustainable growth, and delivering reasonable shareholders returns.”

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, non-cash settlement expenses or reversal 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.
