Huize Preannounces Preliminary Estimated Unaudited Operating Revenue for Fourth Quarter 2020
SHENZHEN, China, January 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Huize Holding Limited, (Huize, the Company or we) (NASDAQ: HUIZ), a leading independent online long-term life and health insurance product and service platform in China, today announced its preliminary estimated unaudited total operating revenue and selected operating data for the fourth quarter of 2020.
| Total operating revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 is expected to be at least RMB380 million, representing a record quarterly high and a year-over-year growth of 47.1%, exceeding the Companys previous guidance of RMB330 million to RMB350 million. |
| Total Gross Written Premiums (GWP) facilitated on the Companys platform are expected to be approximately RMB1,000 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, representing a record quarterly high and an increase of 55.7% compared to the same quarter last year, of which first year premiums accounted for approximately RMB610 million, representing an increase of 39.3% compared to the same quarter last year. |
Mr. Cunjun Ma, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Huize, commented, We have achieved a record quarter in terms of total operating revenue as well as total GWP facilitated for the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily resulting from better-than-expected market demand for the proprietary critical illness products co-developed with our insurer partners, against the backdrop of continued economic recovery in China which has improved consumer confidence.
Our record results reflect our core competencies in co-developing with our insurer partners attractive long-term health insurance products leveraging on our in-house data-analytics capabilities and the proven distribution strength of our technology-enabled online platform. During the quarter, we continued to observe a steady growth of general insurance awareness, as well as increasing adoption of online purchase of long-term insurance products by consumers. We are confident that these trends in consumer behavior will continue to drive our growth momentum.
