We continued to generate positive operating cash flow during the fourth quarter of 2024. Solid business performance: For the fourth quarter of 2024, the first-year premiums ('FYP') generated through our insurance business amounted to RMB1,897.9 million (US$260.0 million), representing an increase of 24.5% year over year. Net operating revenue was RMB686.8 million (US$94.1 million), representing an increase of 4.2% year over year.

Dependable performance in patient recruitment: As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cumulatively enrolled 10,395 patients into 1,212 clinical trial programs through the E-Find Platform. Mr. Peng Shen, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Waterdrop, commented, 'We are pleased to report a set of outstanding financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2024. We have sustained remarkable profitability and doubled our annual net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders, attaining a 119.8% year-on-year increase. Our insurance business capped off the year with an annual FYP of RMB7,472.8 million (US$1,023.8 million), marking a 5.1% year-over-year growth. Throughout the fourth quarter, we honed our focus on optimizing customer acquisition channels and diversifying product offerings, which yielded robust outcomes. Our targeted acquisition strategies spurred a 14.9% year-over-year surge in new user acquired. Leveraging user insights, we introduced more inclusive short-term insurance products in this quarter, including medical plans tailored for individuals with pre-existing conditions. Furthermore, we sustained our efforts to enhance and diversify our long-term insurance offerings, with disability income insurance alone achieving an FYP exceeding RMB90 million. As a milestone, Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding has been officially recognized as a pioneer in China's standardized medical crowdfunding sector. Following new legislation changes, the platform secured designation from the Ministry of Civil Affairs on December 25, 2024, becoming one of the first batch state-endorsed 'Online Service Platforms for Individuals Seeking Financial Help'. During this quarter, our digital clinical trial solution income continued its growth, realizing a year-over-year increase of 22.9%. We collaborated with a total of 177 pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations ('CROs'). Moreover, we enrolled 880 patients and initiated services for 79 new programs during the fourth quarter of 2024. Alternatively, we recently announced the strategic integration and local deployment of DeepSeek models, which marks a significant step forward in our AI-driven insurance ecosystem. Utilizing advanced AI models, Waterdrop's AI Insurance Expert now supports multi-modal interactions, including voice and text. The system excels in managing complex dialogues and assisting with sales strategies, autonomously handling voice communications and consultations for medical insurance products. Our every decision is guided by the principles of maximizing and prioritizing shareholders' returns. By the end of February 2025, the Company had cumulatively repurchased approximately 52.1 million ADSs from the open market. We are also pleased to announce that, with the board approval, the Company will soon start another cash dividend of approximately US$7.3 million. Looking ahead to 2025, we aim for faster growth and to scale up our business operations, all the while continuing to contribute to profitability, by using technology to enhance our core competitiveness.'

On a quarter-over-quarter basis, insurance-related income decreased by 3.0%.

Our role is to operate the Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding platform to provide crowdfunding related services through the internet, enabling patients with significant medical bills to seek help from caring hearts through technology (the 'medical crowdfunding services').

Exchange Rate This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars ('USD' or 'US$") at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all translations from RMB to USD were made at the rate of RMB7.2993 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on December 31, 2024 in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company makes no representation that the RMB or USD amounts referred could be converted into USD or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all. For analytical presentation, all percentages are calculated using the numbers presented in the financial statements contained in this earnings release. Non-GAAP Financial Measure The Company uses non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted net profit attributable to our ordinary shareholders, in evaluating the Company's operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net profit attributable to our ordinary shareholders represents net profit attributable to our ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expense attributable to our ordinary shareholders, foreign currency exchange gain or losses, impact of terminating the mutual aid plan, impairment of intangible assets acquired from business combination and related tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. The non-GAAP financial measure is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss or other consolidated statements of comprehensive loss data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the Company's historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted net profit attributable to our ordinary shareholders presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measure presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measure differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure to our data. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned 'Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results' set forth at the end of this press release.
