Other Businesses

Ms. Jingbo Wang, co-founder and chairlady of Noah, commented, "As we reflect on 2025, it was a year defined not merely by financial recovery, but by structural evolution. Beyond the headline numbers, the more meaningful shift was in the quality of our earnings and the resilience of our operating model. Our disciplined organizational optimization and structural strengthening over the past two years have begun to translate into tangible operating resilience, reinforcing the foundation upon which we build our future.

We started the institutional integration of AI across our global platform, where AI is no longer merely an auxiliary tool but is becoming part of Noah's structural infrastructure. By embedding AI into client service, empowering our relationship managers with intelligent capabilities, and enhancing our global platform coordination, we have strengthened our organizational leverage and reinforced a model for scalable growth.

At the same time, we continued advancing our global strategy and improving the quality of our revenue mix toward a more AUM-driven structure. Overseas revenue accounted for approximately half of total revenues in 2025, reflecting the continued deepening of our international business development. Notably, our strategic shift toward investment products led to significant growth in investment products-related commissions and performance-based income, which became key contributors to our overall performance during the year.

With a solid balance sheet and a long-term capital allocation philosophy, we remain committed to sharing value with our shareholders. Based on our 2025 results, the Board has proposed a total dividend equivalent to 100% of our full-year Non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders. Combined with our ongoing share repurchase program, these actions reflect our confidence in the long-term resilience of our company.

Entering 2026, Noah stands structurally different from where we were two years ago. We are beginning to see new growth momentum emerge — driven by the continued expansion of our international platform, improving global capabilities and the integration of AI across our organization. While the environment remains dynamic, we believe the combination of structural resilience and evolving growth drivers will support a more sustainable path over time."

DISCUSSION ON NON-GAAP MEASURES

In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures excluding the effects of all forms of share-based compensation, non-cash settlement expenses or reversal and net of tax impact, if any. See "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be prepared differently from and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

When evaluating the Company's operating performance in the periods presented, management reviewed the foregoing non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders and per diluted ADS and non-GAAP net margin attributable to Noah shareholders to supplement U.S. GAAP financial data. As such, the Company's management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its results of operations in a manner consistent with that used by management.
