Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2018:

Commenting on the third quarter of 2018 financial results, Chunlin Wang, chairman and chief executive officer of the Company, said, “We continued to report strong profits in the third quarter of 2018, with operating income increasing 48.7% year-over-year to RMB124.6 million, once again beating guidance, and net income attributable to shareholders growing 73.9% year-over-year to RMB195.2 million.

“Total life insurance premiums grew 10.6% year-over-year to RMB1.5 billion, of which annualized premiums equivalent (“APE²”), dropped 28.9% year-over-year to approximately RMB394.5 million,  as the management had previously estimated, primarily due to the high base in the same period last year. However, our health insurance business, in terms of APE, still recorded stellar growth of 101.4% year-over-year, accounting for 82.1% of total life insurance APE in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to 28.0% a year-ago.    

“In the meantime, our consistent focus on long term regular protection insurance business continued to pay dividends. Renewal premiums maintained strong growth, increasing by 101.5% year-over-year to RMB960.7 million, which is one of the major drivers behind the rapid increase of the Company’s operating income during the quarter. It fully reflects the intrinsic value of our regular life insurance business and demonstrates the sustainability of our operating profit growth in the long term as our renewal businesses continue to accumulate.

“Net operating cash flow increased significantly during the third quarter of 2018 to RMB305.7 million, as Fanhua Lianxin Insurance Sales Co., Ltd., (“Lianxin”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the relocation of its headoffice on August 27, 2018 and has since resumed collection of headquarters-to-headquarters commissions receivable from our life insurance company business partners which had been temporarily suspended due to the relocation since February 2018. We expect our operating cashflow will return to normal level in the next quarter.

“Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of 2018, we expect APE of our life insurance business to grow no less than 35% year-over-year to RMB460 million, with operating income of no less than RMB80 million. For full year 2018, we expect APE of our life insurance business to achieve positive growth year-over-year and operating income to increase by no less than 50% year-over-year. We have full confidence in achieving these operating targets.”

Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2018

Total net revenues were RMB783.9 million (US$114.1 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 26.2% from RMB1,061.9 million for the corresponding period in 2017.

• Net revenues for the life insurance business were RMB654.5 million (US$95.3 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 10.4% from RMB730.5 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in first year premiums due to the high base in the same period last year. Revenues generated from our life insurance business accounted for 83.5% of our total net revenues in the third quarter of 2018.

• Net revenues for the P&C insurance business were RMB49.5 million (US$7.2 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 80.9% from RMB258.8 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to i) the disposal of the equity interests of some entities in the P&C insurance division in October 2017; and ii) the transition of our auto insurance business from a commission-based business model towards a platform business model starting from the fourth quarter of 2017. Revenues for the P&C insurance business are mainly derived from commissions generated from Baoxian.com and the technology service fees based on the volume of insurance premiums transacted through CNpad. Revenues generated from the P&C insurance business accounted for 6.3% of our total net revenues in the third quarter of 2018.

• Net revenues for the claims adjusting business were RMB79.9 million (US$11.6 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 9.9% from RMB72.7 million for the corresponding period in 2017. Revenues generated from the claims adjusting business accounted for 10.2% of our total net revenues in the third quarter of 2018.

• Commission costs were RMB481.4 million (US$70.1 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 38.0% from RMB776.7 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in commission costs of P&C insurance business and life insurance business.

• Costs of the life insurance business were RMB404.7 million (US$58.9 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 20.9% from RMB511.4 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease was in line with the decrease in the first year premiums. Costs incurred by the life insurance business accounted for 84.1% of our total commission costs in the third quarter of 2018.
• Costs of the P&C insurance business were RMB32.5 million (US$4.7 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 85.3% from RMB221.7 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease was in line with the decrease in sales, and primarily caused by i) the disposal of the equity interests of some entities in the P&C insurance division in October 2017; and ii) the transition of our P&C insurance business from a commission-based business model towards a platform business model starting from the fourth quarter of 2017. The costs of the P&C insurance business mainly represent commission costs incurred for business on Baoxian.com. Costs incurred by the P&C insurance business accounted for 6.8% of our total commission costs in the third quarter of 2018.
• Costs of claims adjusting business were RMB44.1 million (US$6.4 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 1.4% from RMB43.5 million for the corresponding period in 2017. Costs incurred by the claims adjusting business accounted for 9.1% of our total commission costs in the third quarter of 2018.

• Selling expenses were RMB57.0 million (US$8.3 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 5.2% from RMB54.2 million for the corresponding period in 2017.

• General and administrative expenses were RMB121.0 million (US$17.6 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 17.9% from RMB147.3 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease was mainly due to a significant reduction in expenses incurred by our P&C insurance agencies as a result of the migration to the platform business model since the fourth quarter of 2017 as well as the disposal of certain P&C insurance agencies, though partially offset by an increase in expenses incurred by new office setup and staff recruitment in relation to regional expansion.

As a result of the preceding factors, we had an operating income of RMB124.6 million (US$18.1 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 48.7% from RMB83.8 million for the corresponding period in 2017.

Operating margin was 15.9% for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 7.9% for the corresponding period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to (i) the increased contribution of life insurance business, which have higher profit margins and (ii) the disposal of lower-profit business of the P&C insurance division in October 2017.

Investment income was RMB75.5 million (US$11.0 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 70.8% from RMB44.2 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The investment income represented yields from short-term investments in financial products which mainly consist of inter-bank deposits or collective trust products with terms ranging from half a year to two years and interest payable on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Our investment income fluctuates from quarter to quarter because these investments are classified as available for sales and investment income is recognized when received.

Interest income was RMB13.5 million (US$2.0 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 22.7% from RMB11.0 million for the corresponding period in 2017, primarily due to interest related to amounts due from Shenzhen Chuangjia Investment Limited Partnership (“Chuangjia”) which previously held 84.59% of the equity interests in Fanhua Puyi Fund Sales Co. Ltd. The principle and interests receivable related to the loan to Chuangjia were fully collected in August 2018.

Income tax expense was RMB66.4 million (US$9.7 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 30.5% from RMB50.9 million for the corresponding period in 2017.

Share of income of affiliates was RMB48.3 million (US$7.0 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 100.4% from RMB24.1 million for the corresponding period in 2017 mainly attributable to an increase of profits from CNFinance Holdings Limited (“CNfinance”).

Net income from continuing operations was RMB196.6 million (US$28.6 million) for the third quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 72.9% from RMB113.7 million for the corresponding period in 2017.
