Huize Holding Limited Reports Second Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results

SHENZHEN, China, September 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Huize Holding Limited, (“Huize”, the “Company” or “we”) (NASDAQ: HUIZ), a leading insurance technology platform connecting consumers, insurance carriers, and distribution partners digitally through data-driven and AI-powered solutions in Asia, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights

• Remarkable business performance: First year premiums (“FYP”) recorded solid growth of 73.1% from RMB651.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 to RMB1,127.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. Gross written premiums (“GWP”) also surged 34.4% year-over-year to RMB1,796.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. The notable business performance was driven primarily by our high-quality customer base, continuously robust persistency ratios, and the wide-range of insurance product offerings that cater for different protection needs of our clients.

• Robust revenue growth and ongoing efficiency gains underpinned solid profitability: Total revenue reached RMB396.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, increased by 40.2% year-over-year. Our expense-to-income ratio improved significantly from 40.5% in the second quarter of 2024 to 23.9% in the second quarter of 2025, mainly reflecting our cost-optimization initiatives and the deployment of our proprietary AI to improve productivity. As a result, we achieved a GAAP net profit attributable to common shareholders of RMB10.9 million over the quarter.

• The cumulative number of insurance clients served increased to 11.4 million as of June 30, 2025. Huize cooperated with 146 insurer partners in mainland China and internationally, including 84 life and health insurance companies and 62 property and casualty insurance companies, as of June 30, 2025.

• As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were RMB238.5 million (US$33.3 million).

Mr. Cunjun Ma, Founder and CEO of Huize, said, “We are pleased to deliver another quarter of remarkable results, with operating revenue hitting a 3-year high of RMB397 million and GAAP net profit attributable to common shareholders of RMB10.9 million. Gross written premiums and first-year premiums facilitated on our platform maintained solid growth momentum, rising 34.4% year-over-year to RMB1,796 million and 73.1% year-over-year to RMB1,128 million, respectively, and in the second quarter.”

“Acquiring and serving high-quality, mass-affluent customers remains our core focus. In the second quarter, the average age of customers who purchased long-term insurance products was 35.2 years, with 65.4% residing in higher-tier cities. By the end of May, our 13^th and 25^th month persistency ratios for long-term life and health insurance products stood at industry-high levels of more than 95%, reflecting strong user loyalty to our comprehensive, customized products.”

“To meet the lifelong protection needs of our customers, we continued to co-develop and launch differentiated, customized products with our insurer partners. Against a backdrop of preference for steady financial planning and an aging population, our early move in participating products has delivered strong progress. Centered on client wealth-management needs, we introduced the ‘Bliss (Golden Edition)’ annuity, offering superior and sustainable wealth-planning solutions. We have also jointly launched ‘Xiao Shen Tong 7.0’ children’s accident insurance with Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance, and jointly launched ‘Little Scholar 2.0 Pro’ student accident & medical insurance with PICC Property & Casualty, delivering multi-dimensional and comprehensive protection for children and students.”

“Our AI strategy has evolved into a systematic initiative centered around three progressive pillars: enhancing organizational efficiency, driving AI-powered operational processes, and exploring business model transformation. We are actively promoting the adoption of AI tools and fostering an AI-native culture to enhance efficiency across the organization. Notably, our expense-to-income ratio decreased significantly by 16.6 percentage points year-over-year, reaching 23.9% in the second quarter of 2025. We are also embedding AI into our core workflows, redesigning the entire user journey, from customer acquisition, conversion, to post-sales service. For instance, our AI-based intent recognition and product recommendation systems have driven a 50% year-over-year increase in self-directed policy purchases.”

“Our long-term vision is to build an AI-driven intelligent ecosystem that seamlessly connects users, insurers, and agents. By leveraging our proprietary AI technologies, we aim to redefine the value chain, enhance service quality and efficiency, and unlock new growth opportunities.”

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

GWP and operating revenue

GWP facilitated on our platform was RMB1,796.5 million (US$250.8 million) in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 34.4% from RMB1,336.9 million in the same period of 2024. Within GWP facilitated in the second quarter of 2025, FYP accounted for RMB1,127.9 million (or 62.8% of total GWP), an increase of 73.1% year-over-year. Renewal premiums accounted for RMB668.6 million (or 37.2% of total GWP), representing a decrease of 2.5% year-over-year.

Operating revenue was RMB396.7 million (US$55.4 million) in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 40.2% from RMB283.0 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in FYP facilitated.

Operating costs were RMB287.8 million (US$40.2 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 48.1% from RMB194.4 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to an increase in channel expenses.

Selling expenses were RMB52.5 million (US$7.3 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 12.0% from RMB46.8 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to an increase in staff compensation.

Research and development expenses were RMB16.0 million (US$2.2 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 11.8% from RMB18.1 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in staff compensation related to workforce optimization.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure Statement

In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP net profit/(loss) attributable to common shareholders as a supplemental measure to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define non-GAAP net profit/(loss) attributable to common shareholders as net profit/(loss) attributable to common shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax because either the non-GAAP adjustments were recorded at entities located in tax free jurisdictions, such as the Cayman Islands or because the non-GAAP adjustments were recorded at operating entities located in the PRC for which the non-GAAP adjustments were not deductible for tax purposes.

We present the non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP net profit/(loss) attributable to common shareholders enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses. We also believe that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance.

This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net profit/(loss) attributable to common shareholders is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure may differ from the non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

The non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net profit/(loss) attributable to common shareholders or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measure in light of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as shown below. The non-GAAP financial measure presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measure presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analyzing our data comparatively. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
