SHENZHEN, China, March 27, 2026 (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 second half and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Full Year 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights

Record-breaking insurance premiums: Both first year premiums ("FYP") and gross written premiums ("GWP") reached record highs of RMB4,630.8 million and RMB7,427.1 million in 2025, representing robust increases of 35.4% and 20.6% year-over-year, respectively. This remarkable performance was primarily driven by our high-quality customer base, consistently strong persistency ratios, and a diversified product portfolio designed to address the diverse financial and protection needs of our clients.
Strong revenue growth and efficiency gains drove sustained profitability: Total revenue increased by 26.7% year-over-year to RMB1,582.2 million in 2025. Our expense-to-income ratio notably improved from 32.2% in 2024 to 26.3% in 2025, demonstrating the impact of company-wide deployment of proprietary AI solutions, boosting productivity and optimizing workflows. As a result, we delivered a net profit attributable to common shareholders of RMB4.0 million, and a non-GAAP net profit attributable to common shareholders¹ of RMB22.6 million in 2025, marking our third consecutive year of non-GAAP profitability.
Cumulative number of insurance clients served increased to 12.3 million as of December 31, 2025. We cooperated with 158 insurer partners in mainland China and internationally, including 89 life and health insurance and 69 property and casualty insurance companies, as of December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were RMB250.8 million (US$35.9 million).

Mr. Cunjun Ma, Founder and CEO of Huize, said, "We are pleased to report another year of encouraging results, with both GWP and FYP facilitated on our platform reaching record highs of RMB7.4 billion and RMB4.6 billion in 2025, respectively. Furthermore, through the company-wide deployment of our proprietary AI solutions, we continued to deliver profitability, reporting a non-GAAP net profit attributable to common shareholders of RMB22.6 million in 2025. This milestone marks our third consecutive year of non-GAAP profitability, a powerful testament to our disciplined execution and the long-term sustainability of our business model in an evolving market."

"We continue to leverage our advanced AI solutions to acquire high-quality, mass-affluent customers and enhance customer engagement. In 2025, we acquired approximately 1.7 million new customers. The average age of customers purchasing long-term insurance products was 35.3 years, with 65.8% residing in tier-two cities and above. By the end of 2025, each of our 13^th- and 25^th-month persistency ratios for long-term life and health insurance products remained at industry-high levels of over 95%, underscoring the strong customer loyalty we attract with our diverse and tailored product offerings."

"To address the lifelong financial and protection needs of our customers, we continue to collaborate closely with insurer partners to co-develop and refine customized product offerings. In response to rising demand for high-quality financial planning solutions amid an aging demographic, we launched ‘Dajia Hui Xuan 2.0', a participating annuity designed to provide premium and diversified retirement planning solutions. During the year, we also launched two million-yuan medical insurance products, namely ‘Xing Xiang Shou 2.0' and ‘Chang Xiang An 3.0'. Together, these launches reinforce our core competitiveness in the medical insurance segment and lay a solid foundation for our long-term, sustainable growth."

"We are making steady progress in executing our systematic three-pillar AI strategy. First, we have deployed AI solutions across the organization to foster an AI-native culture and enhance operational efficiency. These proprietary solutions have already been implemented in various business functions to automate core operations, including customer service and claims processing, contributing meaningfully to our efficiency improvement. As a result, our expense-to-income ratio improved by 5.9 percentage points year-over-year to 26.3% in 2025. Second, we upgraded our AI-powered client-facing app to better support key user scenarios, including product recommendations, personalized plan design and policy inquiries, enabling a more integrated, end-to-end user experience. Notably, AI-driven self-service policy purchases among new customers grew 50% year-over-year in 2025. Finally, we are advancing the AI transformation of our platform through the deployment of advanced AI agents across our front, middle and back offices. We also plan to leverage our extensive knowledge base to help insurer partners design and enhance products that more closely align with customers' financial and protection needs."

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.
