Recent Developments

  • Leveraging the latest large language model (“LLM”) capabilities:
    • YB Agents. The Company has deployed a series of Agents to streamline manual tasks across key R&D and testing processes, significantly enhancing coding efficiency, test coverage, issue detection speed, and overall system stability. The Company is also building an internal Agent development platform that will enable diverse business units to rapidly and cost-effectively develop highly customized Agent applications, addressing specific business pain points.
    • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Enhancements. The Company’s proprietary RAG system now leverages GraphRAG technology to lower misidentification and conflation of clauses across multiple insurance plans, addressing a common industry pain point. In addition, the Company has scaled the deployment of its RAG-based, enterprise-level knowledge management platform, improving knowledge accessibility and advancing operations across business functions.
    • Multi-Modal Applications. The Company has developed an over 80-million-parameter speech emotion recognition model that deeply analyzes the acoustic features and temporal patterns of voice signals to provide a granular understanding of user emotional states. The Company has also scaled the application of its self-developed smart voice engine, elevating user satisfaction.

Mr. Rui Fang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yuanbao, commented, “In the second quarter of 2025, we continue to deliver strong operational and financial performance, reinforcing our leadership in China’s online insurance distributor market. Notably, the number of new policies grew to 7.9 million, underscoring our ongoing success in penetrating underserved markets and serving evolving consumer needs at scale. We also continued to make meaningful strides in technology, advancing our construction of the full consumer service engine. As of the end of June, we had developed over 4,800 models capable of analysis across more than 5,300 labels, an increase of 400 models and 1,000 labels from a year ago. Furthermore, by embedding advanced technologies throughout our value chain, from internal R&D and proprietary knowledge systems to customer service and operational support, we have materially enhanced operational efficiency, user satisfaction, and system stability. Looking ahead, we will deepen our investment in technological innovation and broaden our reach in underserved markets, working closely with our partnered insurance carriers to expand access to high-quality, affordable insurance offerings.”

Mr. Ray Wan, Chief Financial Officer of Yuanbao, added, “Outstanding execution drove our robust financial results in the second quarter, highlighted by double-digit growth across both top and bottom lines. Total net revenues rose by 25.2% year over year and 10.3% quarter over quarter, reaching RMB1,069.9 million, while net income surged by 55.6% year over year to RMB304.7 million. Our net income margin expanded by 5.6 percentage points year over year to 28.5%, reflecting our continued gains in operational leverage. We see substantial untapped growth potential in user scale and penetration within the online insurance industry. We will further expand our R&D investments to boost our long-term competitiveness and leverage our strong cash reserves to deliver long-term value to our stakeholders.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income and adjusted net income margin, in evaluating the Company’s operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expense, and adjusted net income margin represents adjusted net income as a percentage of revenue. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax.

The non-GAAP financial measures are 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 measures have limitations as an analytical tool and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider it in isolation. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Adjusted net income presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure to the Company’s data.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
