- First year premiums(“FYP”) grew by 51.4% year-over-year to RMB851.9 million, significantly above the average growth rate of approximately 15% achieved by listed Chinese life insurers
- Total net revenues grew by 20.6% year-over-year to RMB827.7 million, and
- Operating income grew by 193.1% to RMB60.4 million, significantly above our previous estimate of RMB30 million.
“The impressive figures were combined results of significant increase in agent quality and productivity, material contribution from acquisitions and open-platform strategy as well as material operational gains from digitization, demonstrating that we are executing on our well-defined strategy of driving sustainable growth in our business through ‘Professionalization, Specialization, Digitalization, and Open Platform’.
“Our good start in the first quarter of 2023 will help lay a solid foundation for us to accelerate the execution of our strategies and achieve our 2023 operational targets of generating 50% year-over-year growth in life insurance new business sales and non-GAAP operating income. In the coming quarters, we will focus on i) enhancing our unique competitive edge through optimizing various value-added service offerings to our end customers in addition to insurance products, ii) attracting top talents from various industries through our Family Office Consultant (“FOC”) training programs, iii) accelerating market consolidation through both acquisitions and expansion of digital tenants on our open platform, and iv) encouraging and supporting Million-Dollar Round Table (“MDRT”) members in Fanhua to obtain relevant financial qualifications and certificates to further improve their professional expertise.

Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2023
Total net revenues were RMB827.7 million (US$120.5 million) for the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 20.6% from RMB686.4 million for the corresponding period in 2022.
- Net revenues for agency business were RMB725.5 million (US$105.6 million) for the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 23.4% from RMB588.0 million for the corresponding period in 2022. Total GWP increased by 29.0% year-over-year to RMB4,444.0 million, of which FYP grew by 51.4% year-over-year to RMB851.9 million while renewal premiums increased by 24.6% year-over-year to RMB3,592.1 million.
- Net revenues for the life insurance business were RMB683.4 million (US$99.5 million) for the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 22.3% from RMB558.6 million for the corresponding period in 2022. Total life insurance GWP increased by 29.1% year-over-year to RMB4,359.8 million, of which life insurance FYP increased by 55.9% year-over-year to RMB767.8 million and renewal premiums increased by 24.6% year-over-year to RMB3,592.1 million. The increase in net revenues for the life insurance business was mainly due to an increase in new policy sales and acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2023 which generated total revenues of RMB163.6 million, offset by the decrease in renewal commission income as a result of the decreased weighted average renewal commission rate of renewal premium collected, and to a lesser extent, due to changes in product mix. For long-term life insurance policies that we sell, renewal commissions are paid throughout the policy payment period but the renewal commission rates tend to recede few years after the sales of the insurance policies.
Net revenues generated from our life insurance business accounted for 82.6% of our total net revenues in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to 81.4% in the same period of 2022.

For long-term life insurance policies that we sell, renewal commissions are paid throughout the policy payment period but the renewal commission rates tend to recede few years after the sales of the insurance policies.
- Net revenues for the P&C insurance business were RMB42.1 million (US$6.1 million) for the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 43.2% from RMB29.4 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The increase was mainly due to the contribution from a brokerage firm which was acquired in the second half of 2022.

- Costs of the life insurance business were RMB456.6 million (US$66.5 million) for the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 25.6% from RMB363.5 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The increase was mainly attributable to the commission cost associated with and incurred by new acquisitions which were completed in the first quarter of 2023. Our cost increased faster than revenues, primarily due to the managing general agency platform model adopted by one of the newly acquired entity, under which it earns a relatively lower gross profit than our self-operated business. Costs incurred by the life insurance business accounted for 82.5% of our total commission costs in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to 80.7% in the same period of 2022.
- Costs of the P&C insurance business were RMB30.8 million (US$4.5 million) for the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 54.8% from RMB19.9 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The costs of the P&C insurance business mainly represent commission costs we incurred for operating Baowang (www.baoxian.com) and brokerage business. Costs incurred by the P&C insurance business accounted for 5.6% of our total commission costs in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to 4.4% in the same period of 2022.
- Costs of claims adjusting business were RMB65.8 million (US$9.6 million) for the first quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 2.1% from RMB67.2 million for the corresponding period in 2022.

- Commission costs for agency business were RMB487.4 million (US$71.0 million) for the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 27.1% from RMB383.4 million for the corresponding period in 2022.
- Selling expenses were RMB66.5 million (US$9.7 million) for the first quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 11.2% from RMB74.9 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The decrease was due to cost savings from personnel optimization and decreased rental costs of our sales outlets, partially offset by the increase in sales events and the recognition of RMB2.7 million (US$0.4 million) share-based compensation expenses related to shares options granted to MDRT members from sales teams under the Company’s MDRT Share Incentive Plan in the first quarter of 2023.
- General and administrative expenses were RMB147.7 million (US$21.5 million) for the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 5.3% from RMB140.2 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The increase was mainly contributed by the acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2023 amounting to approximately RMB17.6 million offset by savings from personnel optimization and decrease in the number of branches since 2022.
As a result of the foregoing factors, we recorded operating income of RMB60.4 million (US$8.8 million) for the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 193.1% from RMB20.6 million for the corresponding period in 2022.

- The decrease in the number of performing agents was primarily due to the Company’s shifted focus to serving high-end customers and high-performing agents and maintaining an elite-based agent pool. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the number of low-performing agents while the number of elite agents increased in the same period, which led to the sharp increase in premiums facilitated per performing agents.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the Company’s consolidated financial results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company also provides non-GAAP operating income,non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, non-GAAP net margin and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures, as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. Non-GAAP operating income is defined as income of operation before share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders is defined as net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders before impairment on investment in an affiliate and share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net margin is defined as non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders as a percentage of net revenues. Non-GAAP basic net income per ADS is defined as non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders divided by total weighted average number of ADSs of the Company outstanding during the period. Non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS is defined as non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders divided by total weighted average number of diluted ADSs of the Company outstanding during the period. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect the Company’s operations. Specifically, the Company’s non-GAAP measures exclude impairment on investment in an affiliate and share-based compensation expenses. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, including peer companies. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and other interested persons to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
