Noah's Q1 2025 Earnings Show YoY and Sequential Growth in Profitability and Operating Margin Expansion
SHANGHAI, May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Noah Holdings Limited ("Noah" or the "Company") (NYSE: NOAH and HKEX: 6686), a leading and pioneer wealth management service provider offering comprehensive one-stop advisory services on global investment and asset allocation primarily for global Chinese high-net-worth investors ("HNWIs"), reported unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2025, highlighting a robust recovery in profitability as its CAPEX-light domestic restructuring and overseas expansion gain momentum. Non-GAAP net income rebounded 27.4% sequentially to RMB 168.8 million (US$23.3 million), while income from operations jumped 35.2% to RMB 186.0 million (US$25.6 million), driving operating margin to 30.3%. Noah continued to face broader headwinds driven by a volatile global macroeconomic environment and a low-interest rate environment in mainland China, impacting Chinese HNWI sentiment and topline growth. Despite these challenges, Noah continued to make significant progress in building out its sales teams and global infrastructure. Its CAPEX-light strategy ensures its business remains profitable and continues to generate solid cash flow during this restructuring. Zander Yin, Co-Founder, Director, and CEO of Noah, commented, "We are proud to deliver a strong rebound in profitability and operating margin this quarter, reflecting the success of our operational efficiency initiatives, CAPEX-light strategy, and accelerating overseas expansion. This clearly underscores the resilience of our business model during our ongoing restructuring and sets the stage for sustainable growth going forward. This restructuring still requires upfront investments and will take time to scale. While we are not yet at the finish line, these cost-effective foundational changes are clearly beginning to have an impact on our financials which leave us confident we are headed in the right direction." Financial Highlights Total net revenues for the quarter were RMB 614.6 million (US$84.7 million), down 5.7% from last quarter and down 5.4% year-over-year, primarily due to a decrease in distribution of insurance products and RMB-denominated private equity recurring service fees. However, net revenues from overseas continued to grow sequentially, expanding 5.0% to RMB 304.2 million (US$41.9 million) and now accounting for nearly 50% of total net revenues – showcasing the progress it continues to make in expanding overseas. Rigorous cost controls reduced operating costs and expenses by 16.7% sequentially and 18.8% year-over-year to RMB428.6 million (US$59.1 million), led by a 21.8% year-over-year cut in compensation and benefits and an 18.1% decline in selling expenses. Overseas Expansion Making Progress Noah's overseas expansion continued to gain momentum. Revenue from overseas investment products grew 20.3% year-over-year, offsetting a 22.8% decline in overseas insurance sales. USD-denominated assets under management climbed 14.2% year-over-year to US$5.9 billion, and USD-denominated assets under advisory rose 8.7% to US$9.1 billion. Noah's team of overseas relationship managers is driving this growth. The team expanded 44% year-over-year to 131, with its newly formed overseas commission-only insurance agent team also growing to 75 and already contributing approximately RMB 10 million in revenue during the quarter. The Company opened a new office in Japan and continues to explore opportunities in the US, Southeast Asia and Canada with large and underserved communities of Chinese HNWIs. Domestic Restructuring Domestic net revenues in the quarter were RMB 310.4 million, down 14.3% from last quarter and 9.4% from the same period last year, reflecting weaker insurance distribution under a low-interest environment and lower recurring service fees from private equity products. However, transaction value for RMB-denominated private secondary products surged 257.7% year-over-year to RMB 3.3 billion, up 34.6% sequentially, with associated revenue contribution rising 9.4% year-over-year. Noah's branch network has been consolidated to 10 cities in mainland China and has begun deploying online marketing and online services which will further reduce fixed costs and improve operational efficiency going forward. Driving Shareholder Returns Noah continues to prioritize shareholder interests and deliver sustained returns through its US$50 million share buyback program with the repurchase of more than 1.3 million ADSs to date. Subject to approval at its upcoming annual general meeting in June 2025, the Company plans to distribute RMB 550 million in annual and special dividends in July 2025—equal to 100% of 2024's non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders—delivering a 11% dividend yield at current prices and marking the second consecutive year of a full payout. As of March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents stood at RMB 4.1 billion, supplemented by RMB 1.3 billion in highly liquid short-term investments. The balance sheet remains robust, with US$11.4 per ADS in cash reserves, an improved current ratio of 4.8x, no interest-bearing debt, a price-to-book multiple of 0.5x and a price-to-earnings multiple of 11x, well below the industry average. Strategic Priorities and Outlook for 2025 Noah's priority in 2025 will be to build upon the solid progress it has made by carefully balancing the quality and quantity of growth overseas while ensuring full compliance with local regulations. Through its CAPEX-light strategy, the Company will drive its overseas expansion and build its local teams in the US, Japan, Southeast Asia and Canada. Investments in AI and technology will enhance online service capabilities, and the commission-only insurance agent network will scale to support overseas growth. It will also diversify its product suite with trusts, emigration advisory services and cross-border solutions to meet evolving client needs in volatile markets. Supported by streamlined operations, a fortified balance sheet and deepening overseas foothold, Noah is well positioned for sustainable, profitable growth throughout 2025 and beyond.

SEOUL, South Korea, May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As a leading brand in the marine engine market in the Asia-Pacific region, Weichai continues to strengthen its strategic presence in the Korean market. In recent years, it has successfully launched the WH17 series—a new generation of premium marine power solutions. With outstanding performance and cutting-edge technology, this product line has rapidly gained recognition from key customers in Korea's seaweed farming and fisheries sectors. "In the demanding operational environment around Mokpo, where tidal changes are drastic, the WH17 engine has demonstrated exceptional adaptability and reliability, along with outstanding fuel economy," said a manager from a seaweed farming company in Mokpo, South Jeolla Province. Weichai Group, as a globally leading multinational industrial equipment conglomerate, has achieved a significant milestone with the WH17 series, which represents the culmination of seven years of advanced R&D at Weichai. Covering a power range from 1,000 to 3,200 horsepower, it has undergone over 10,000 hours of rigorous bench tests and accumulated more than 1 million hours of sea trials.
