      BEIJING, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Waterdrop Inc. ("Waterdrop", the "Company" or "we") (NYSE: WDH), a leading technology platform dedicated to insurance and healthcare service with a positive social impact, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

      Financial and Operational Highlights for the First Quarter of 2025

      • Profit growth with stable liquidity: In the first quarter of 2025, net profit attributable to our ordinary shareholders reached RMB108.2 million (US$14.9 million), marking a solid increase of 34.2% year-over-year. We continued to generate positive operating cash flow during the first quarter of 2025.
      • Accelerated business growth: The first-year premiums ("FYP") generated through our insurance business reached RMB2,092.4 million (US$288.3 million) during the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 19.3% year over year. Net operating revenue was RMB753.7 million (US$103.9 million), representing an increase of 7.0% year over year.
      • Expanded crowdfunding coverage: As of March 31, 2025, around 475 million people cumulatively had donated an aggregate of RMB68.8 billion to 3.47 million patients through Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding.
      • Steadfast performance in patient recruitment: As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cumulatively enrolled 11,217 patients into 1,281 clinical trial programs through the E-Find Platform.

      Mr. Peng Shen, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Waterdrop, commented, "We achieved remarkable growth in the first quarter of 2025, kicking off the year with robust operational and financial outcomes. Both revenue and profit grew on a year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter basis.

      In line with our annual growth objectives, our insurance business maintained a strong upward trajectory. We refined our public domain user acquisition strategies and improved services for private domain users, leading to a notable 30.1% year-over-year increase in short-term insurance premium. Product innovation remains a top priority, as highlighted by the upgrade of 'Jiehaoyun', our industry-first product, to version 5.0. Furthermore, we recently introduced a revolutionary Million Medical Insurance product that uniquely offers both a health declaration waiver and guaranteed renewal for five consecutive years. Despite headwinds from product iteration, our long-term insurance premiums grew by 27.6% quarter-on-quarter, demonstrating operational resilience.

      Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding further enhanced its risk control framework through ongoing upgrades, improving the rigor of campaign validation processes. This quarter, we expanded our verification platform to cover 92% of domestic cities. The system now enables smoother user-led verification of critical credibility factors like housing, vehicle ownership, and income data. These improvements deliver more reliable and efficient risk management.

      Our digital clinical trial solution revenue sustained its growth momentum this quarter, reflecting an 11.5% increase compared to the same period last year. We collaborated with a total of 185 pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations ("CROs"). Meanwhile, we enrolled 822 patients and initiated services for 77 new programs during the first quarter of 2025.

      We are pleased to report that Waterdrop Guardian AI applications are playing increasingly critical roles in both internal and external use cases. For instance, the penetration of our 'AI Insurance Expert - Medical Insurance' has further expanded and facilitated over 2 million yuan in monthly premiums this quarter. Additionally, our 'AI Service Quality Copilot' has boosted unit operational efficiency by 83% since its launch. Beyond internal initiatives, we have partnered with four Property and Casualty insurers to pilot AI-driven applications in the auto insurance sector, collaborating to set industry benchmarks.

      Every strategic action we take is anchored in our objective of maximizing shareholder value. The Company distributed approximately US$7.3 million in cash dividends this quarter and repurchased a cumulative total of approximately 54.2 million ADSs from the open market as of May 31, 2025.

      Our long-standing commitment to user-centric philosophy and AI investment laid the foundation for our achievements. Looking ahead to the upcoming quarters of 2025, we will leverage our proven business know-how to accelerate operational growth, creating greater value to both users and shareholders."

      Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2025

      Operating revenue, net

      Net operating revenue for the first quarter of 2025 increased by 7.0% year-over-year to RMB753.7 million (US$103.9 million) from RMB704.7 million for the same period of 2024. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, net operating revenue increased by 9.7%.

      • Insurance-related income includes insurance brokerage income and technical service income. Insurance brokerage income represents brokerage commissions earned from insurance companies. Technical service income is derived from providing technical services including customer relationship maintenance, customer complaint management, claim review, and user referral services, among other things, to insurance companies, insurance brokers, and agency companies. Our insurance-related income amounted to RMB658.0 million (US$90.7 million) in the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 8.4% year-over-year from RMB606.8 million for the first quarter of 2024, which was mainly due to an increase in insurance brokerage income. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, insurance-related income increased by 13.0%.
      • Crowdfunding service fees represent the service income earned when patients successfully withdraw the proceeds from their crowdfunding campaigns. 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"). Our medical crowdfunding services generally consist of providing technical and internet support, managing, reviewing and supervising the crowdfunding campaigns, providing comprehensive risk management and anti-fraud measures, and facilitating the collection and transfer of the funds. For the first quarter of 2025, we generated RMB67.1 million (US$9.3 million) in service fees, remaining stable compared with the service fees of RMB67.4 million for the first quarter of 2024. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, crowdfunding service fees increased by 3.1%.
      • Digital clinical trial solution income represents the service income earned from our customers mainly including biopharmaceutical companies and leading biotechnology companies. We match qualified and suitable patients for enrollment in clinical trials for our customers and generate digital clinical trial solution revenue for successful matches and we typically charge our customers a fixed unit price per successful match. For the first quarter of 2025, our digital clinical trial solution income amounted to RMB23.0 million (US$3.2 million), representing an increase of 11.5% from RMB20.6 million in the same period of 2024. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, digital clinical trial solution income decreased by 9.9%.

      Operating costs and expenses

      Operating costs and expenses increased by 3.0% year over year to RMB677.8 million (US$93.4 million) for the first quarter of 2025. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, operating costs and expenses increased by 6.9%.

      • Operating costs increased by 13.0% year over year to RMB374.2 million (US$51.6 million) for the first quarter of 2025, as compared with RMB331.2 million for the first quarter of 2024, which was primarily driven by (i) an increase of RMB37.7 million in costs of referral and service fees, (ii) an increase of RMB2.8 million in the costs for the digital clinical trial solution consultants team, and (iii) an increase of RMB1.7 million in personnel costs. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, operating costs increased by 15.6% from RMB323.8 million, primarily due to (i) an increase of RMB28.3 million in costs of referral and service fees, and (ii) an increase of RMB8.4 million in the costs for the crowdfunding consultants team.
      • Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 5.4% year over year to RMB172.4 million (US$23.8 million) for the first quarter of 2025, as compared with RMB182.1 million for the same quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease of RMB5.9 million in outsourced sales and marketing service fees to third parties, (ii) a decrease of RMB5.6 million in personnel costs and share-based compensation expenses, partially offset by (iii) an increase of RMB4.5 million in marketing expenses for third-party traffic channels. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, sales and marketing expenses decreased by 5.3% from RMB182.0 million, primarily due to (i) a decrease of RMB7.5 million in marketing expenses for third-party traffic channels, and (ii) a decrease of RMB1.9 million in outsourced sales and marketing service fees to third parties.
      • General and administrative expenses decreased by 15.8% year over year to RMB74.9 million (US$10.3 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB89.0 million for the same quarter of 2024. The year-over-year variance was due to (i) a decrease of RMB9.8 million in professional service fees, and (ii) a decrease of RMB4.0 million in allowance for credit losses. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, general and administrative expenses increased by 1.7% from RMB73.7 million, due to (i) an increase of RMB4.7 million in allowance for credit losses, partially offset by (ii) a decrease of RMB2.6 million in professional service fees.
      • Research and development expenses remained stable at RMB56.2 million (US$7.8 million) for the first quarter of 2025, maintaining nearly the same level as RMB56.0 million for the same period of 2024. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, research and development expenses increased by 3.6% from RMB54.3 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase of RMB1.7 million in personnel costs and share-based compensation expenses.

      Operating profit for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB75.9 million (US$10.5 million), as compared with RMB46.4 million for the first quarter of 2024 and RMB53.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

      Interest income for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB33.8 million (US$4.7 million), as compared with RMB39.8 million for the first quarter of 2024 and RMB35.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

      Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB13.3 million (US$1.8 million), as compared with RMB8.6 million for the first quarter of 2024 and RMB1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

      Net profit attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB108.2 million (US$14.9 million), as compared with RMB80.6 million for the same period of 2024, and RMB99.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

      Adjusted net profit attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders (non-GAAP(1)) for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB130.0 million (US$17.9 million), as compared with RMB98.4 million for the same period of 2024, and RMB107.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. 

      Cash position(2)

      As of March 31, 2025, cash position of the Company was RMB3,543.3 million (US$488.3 million), as compared with RMB3,670.3 million as of December 31, 2024.

      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 RMB7.2567 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on March 31, 2025 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, and impact of terminating the mutual aid plan on non-GAAP adjustments. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax.

      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.
