FIRST QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Net revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were RMB625.8 million (US$90.7 million), a 1.8% increase from the corresponding period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in performance-based income from domestic private secondary products, partially offset by a decrease in one-time commissions from insurance products, and a 14.7% decrease quarter-on-quarter, primarily due to a decrease in performance-based income from overseas private equity products as compared with the fourth quarter of 2025.
Income from operations for the first quarter of 2026 was RMB236.4 million (US$34.3 million), a 27.1% increase from the corresponding period in 2025, primarily due to disciplined cost control on employee compensation.
Net income attributable to Noah shareholders for the first quarter of 2026 was RMB124.7 million (US$18.1 million), a 16.3% decrease from the corresponding period in 2025, primarily due to a higher loss from equity in affiliates, partially offset by lower operating costs and expenses.

Ms. Jingbo Wang, co-founder and chairlady of Noah, commented: "Entering 2026, Noah stands structurally different and is entering what we define as the 'growth verification phase'. Our performance in the first quarter reflects this momentum, with income from operations reaching RMB236.4 million, a 27.1% increase from the corresponding period in 2025. This growth was driven by disciplined cost controls and a robust recovery in our domestic public securities segment, which saw a 75.7% surge in operating income.

Our vision for 2026 and beyond is anchored in the institutional integration of AI and the continued expansion of our global platform. AI is no longer merely an auxiliary tool but a core part of our structural infrastructure. Strategically, we are moving beyond single-market reliance to a model of global multi-market synergy. Our global architecture—comprising ARK for client connectivity, Olive for global asset management, and Glory for family heritage services—is now firmly in place. In Singapore, we pioneered the 'AI + Wealth Management' department, which has already delivered significant results. We have seen measurable improvements in client outreach, service responsiveness, and the professionalism of asset allocation, accompanied by a 191.7% growth in AUA from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026. This experience has strengthened our conviction that AI will become the vital infrastructure of the future wealth management industry.

With a solid balance sheet and a commitment to long-term value, we remain focused on sharing our success with shareholders. While the environment remains dynamic, the combination of our structural resilience, international breakthrough, and AI-driven evolution positions Noah to follow a more sustainable and prosperous path over time."
