Noah Holdings Ltd (NOAH) Q1 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Strong Overseas Growth Amid Domestic ...
Release Date: May 29, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Noah Holdings Ltd (NYSE:NOAH) reported a solid quarter with net income of $169 million, up 4.7% year-over-year and 27.4% sequentially. Operating costs and expenses decreased by 18.8% from the previous year, contributing to improved profitability. The transaction value for RMB-denominated private secondary products grew 2.6 times from last year, with revenue contributions increasing by 9.4%. Overseas private investment products saw a transaction value increase of 27.7%, with revenue contributions growing by 20.3%. The company has successfully expanded its overseas relationship manager team by 44% and plans further growth in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Total net revenue in Q1 fell by 5.4% compared to the same period last year, impacted by a decline in revenue from overseas insurance products by 22.8%. Net revenues from domestic operations decreased by 9.4% due to lower recurring service fees from private equity products and domestic insurance distributions. The Hong Kong insurance market remains highly competitive, affecting the distribution of overseas insurance products, which saw a revenue decline of 17.8%. Despite a strong overseas performance, domestic net revenues decreased by 14.3% sequentially, largely due to sluggish performance in the insurance sector. The company faces challenges from market volatility and global economic uncertainties, which may impact future revenue growth. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NOAH. Q: There have been reports of domestic high net worth clients receiving notices from tax bureaus about their overseas taxation information. How is this affecting client sentiment and investment behavior? A: (Unidentified_4) The enforcement of overseas income taxation for Chinese residents has been in place for a few years, but it seems the tax bureau now has more information to reach out to individuals. While this might affect short-term investment sentiment, it also presents an opportunity for us to strengthen relationships with clients by offering tax planning and wealth management solutions. In the long run, this could lead to better client engagement and opportunities for the company. Q: How has the reduction in costs and expenses been achieved, and is it sustainable? A: (Unidentified_4) The reduction in costs is partly due to improved efficiency, especially in back-office operations, which have been optimized by about 25% compared to last year. While there was a reduction in marketing activities this quarter, we expect more marketing events in the second quarter. The focus remains on maintaining efficiency and effectiveness in our operations. Q: With recent market volatility, how are clients reacting, and what are the key drivers for your overseas business in 2025? A: (Unidentified_2) Market volatility has impacted client sentiment, particularly among business owners. However, many clients are confident in their products and are planning for overseas expansion. For our overseas business, key drivers include expanding our team of relationship managers and focusing on insurance sales. We also see opportunities in AI-related investment products and structural products with liquidity options. Q: What is the outlook for the overseas insurance market, and how are you adapting to challenges? A: (Unidentified_2) The overseas insurance market is challenging and competitive. We are focusing on serving high-premium clients by partnering with insurance companies to tailor products and offer discounts. This strategy has increased first-year premiums significantly. We believe there is a great opportunity to build relationships and sell insurance products to Chinese clients who are still underinsured. Q: Can you provide guidance on the impact of recent geopolitical tensions on your clients and their investment strategies? A: (Unidentified_2) Geopolitical tensions have created short-term impacts, especially for clients involved in trade. However, many clients are confident in their competitive products and are planning for asset diversification and overseas business expansion. We believe our clients are becoming more mature in their investment strategies, and the long-term impact should be limited.

ARK ART: Exclusive Live Coverage of Art Basel Hong Kong by Noah N+ ----A Cloud-Based Art Extravaganza
XIAMEN, China, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Noah Holdings (HKEX: 6686, NYSE: NOAH) is set to launch a special live broadcast program for Art Basel Hong Kong through its ARK ART platform. The professional team from Noah N+ Art Center will guide viewers through the art scene, offering an immersive experience of this premier art event. Since its inception, Noah Holdings has deeply embedded an artistic ethos into its corporate development. The group's Noah N+ Art Center, based in Shanghai, has pioneered a unique "art + finance" service model. Renowned international violinist Huang Mengla once remarked, "Noah's pursuit of art mirrors their approach to financial services—utterly refined and deeply focused." Located in the Noah Wealth Center in Shanghai, the N+ Art Center was meticulously designed by the studio of Norman Foster, the Pritzker Architecture Prize laureate. Its iconic cylindrical structure draws inspiration from the "Noah Tree of Life," symbolizing the perpetual growth of artistic vitality. Inside, the center showcases a diverse collection of global art masterpieces, creating an immersive artistic experience. The N+ Art Center is dedicated to promoting global artistic diversity, fostering cultural exchange between China and the international art community, and encouraging high-net-worth individuals to engage with and appreciate multicultural art. It is a tangible museum where antiques and artworks from different eras and styles are displayed in unexpected spaces, making art accessible at every turn. From decoding the innovation in tradition at the "Qi Baishi Art Exhibition" to realizing the value transformation of Zen-inspired calligraphy at the "Zen Calligraphy" event in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, N+ has cultivated an artistic temperament that transforms aesthetic appreciation into a catalyst for cognitive advancement. This empowers clients to elevate not just their wealth but also their life wisdom. The spiritual realm crafted by N+ connects top-tier resources through dialogues, classic literature, diverse art forms, and moving music, creating multiple pathways for clients to attain life wisdom. As the overseas brand of Noah Holdings, ARK has consistently used art as a bridge to connect global Chinese wealth managers. On March 27, the opening day of Art Basel Hong Kong, ARK invited a team of professional art advisors to provide tailored art tours for dozens of clients. Through an international perspective and expert interpretation, ARK helps clients integrate art appreciation into wealth planning, achieving both asset allocation and aesthetic refinement. ARK firmly believes that true wealth management lies in harmonizing numerical growth with spiritual enrichment. Moving forward, ARK will continue to uphold this philosophy, presenting global wealth managers with more extraordinary art experiences. We are committed not only to helping clients achieve steady wealth growth but also to enriching their lives through art, enabling them to savor a more profound and fulfilling life.
