SHENZHEN, China, March 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Huize Holding Limited, (“Huize”, the “Company” or “we”) (NASDAQ: HUIZ), a leading digital insurance product and service platform for new generation consumers in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Highlights

GWP facilitated on our platform for the full year of 2021 increased by 66.2% to RMB5,018.2 million from RMB3,019.9 million in 2020. |
| • | Operating revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 increased by 151.6% to RMB976.3 million compared to RMB388.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Operating revenue for the full year of 2021 increased by 84.0% to RMB2,245.0 million from RMB1,220.2 million in 2020. |
| • | Cumulative number of insurance clients served increased to approximately 7.5 million, and cumulative number of insured clients was approximately 62.5 million as of December 31, 2021. |
| • | We cooperated with 109 insurer partners, including 66 life and health insurance companies, and 43 property & casualty insurance companies as of December 31, 2021. |
“Our strong and resilient execution throughout 2021 drove another record high in both gross written premiums facilitated on our platform and operating revenue, reaching RMB5,018.2 million and RMB2,245.0 million respectively for the year,” said Cunjun Ma, Founder and CEO. “As we head into 2022 amid a backdrop of tightening industry regulations, challenging macroeconomic and capital market conditions, we will continue to remain focused on our customer-centric strategy underpinned by our leading digitalization capabilities to strengthen our market position in the industry. We will rely on our solid digitalization and data analytic capabilities to continue gaining in-depth insights on users to launch new products that meet the protection needs of users, thereby delivering the competitive advantages of a digital insurance platform as an efficient, effective, and inclusive distribution channel. At the same time, we will continue to invest in expanding our offline customer coverage capabilities and to further strengthen the O2O integration of products and services of our digital insurance service ecosystem.”
“In addition, the board has also approved a share repurchase program, which is aligned with our commitment to return value to our shareholders and reflects the confidence we have in Huize’s long-term growth prospects. We believe that the current market conditions provide us with an opportunity to strategically allocate capital to enhance shareholder value while maintaining resources to fund our operations and continued business growth.”

GWP facilitated on our platform was RMB1,990.9 million (US$312.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 90.2% from RMB1,047.0 million in the same period of 2020.

Operating revenue was RMB976.3 million (US$153.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 151.6% from RMB388.1 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in operating revenue was primarily driven by the 90.2% increase in the GWP facilitated.
Operating costs
Operating costs were RMB747.9 million (US$117.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 156.2% from RMB291.9 million in the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher marketing channel costs and was in line with the increase in operating revenue.
Operating expenses
Selling expenses were RMB112.3 million (US$17.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 57.1% from RMB71.5 million in the same period of 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the salaries and employment benefits.
General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 were RMB56.0 million (US$8.8 million), an increase of 50.2% from RMB37.3 million in the same period of 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the salaries and employment benefits for general and administrative staff, and an increase in professional service expenses.
Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 was RMB46.1 million (US$7.2 million), an increase of 190.8% from RMB15.8 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to an increase in the number of R&D personnel.

Full Year 2021 Financial Results
GWP and operating revenue
GWP facilitated was RMB5,018.2 million in 2021, an increase of 66.2% from RMB3,019.9 million in 2020. Of the GWP facilitated in 2021, first year premiums (“FYP”) accounted for RMB3,123.8 million (62.2%) and renewal premiums accounted for RMB1,894.4 million (37.8%).
Operating revenue was RMB2,245.0 million (US$352.3 million) in 2021, an increase of 84.0% from RMB1,220.2 million in 2020. The increase in operating revenue was primarily driven by the 66.2% increase in the GWP facilitated.
Operating costs
Operating costs were RMB1,690.8 million (US$265.3 million) in 2021, an increase of 107.1% from RMB816.4 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of marketing channels to acquire user traffic, and was in line with the increase in operating revenue.
Operating expenses
Selling expenses were RMB350.6 million (US$55.0 million) in 2021, an increase of 52.1% from RMB230.4 million in 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount, as well as an increase in advertising and marketing expenses, offset by a write-back in share-based compensation expenses.
General and administrative expenses were RMB197.6 million (US$31.0 million) in 2021, an increase of 31.6% from RMB150.2 million in 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the salaries and employment benefits for general and administrative staff, as well as rental increase from office expansion, offset by a write-back in share-based compensation expenses.
Research and development expenses were RMB120.5 million (US$18.9 million) in 2021, an increase of 145.2% from RMB49.1 million in 2020, primarily due to an increase in the number of R&D personnel.
Net loss and Non-GAAP net loss for the year
Net loss in 2021 was RMB107.7 million (US$16.9 million), compared to a net loss of RMB18.3 million in 2020. Non-GAAP net loss in 2021 was RMB109.5 million (US$17.2 million), compared to a non-GAAP net profit of RMB34.0 million in 2020. The net loss in 2021 was primarily caused by our increased marketing channel expansion and customer acquisition strategies, as well as increased investment in technology.
Cash and cash equivalents
As of December 31, 2021, the combined balance of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to RMB381.2 million (US$59.8 million), compared to RMB404.6 million as of December 31, 2020.
Share Repurchase Program
The Board of Directors of the Company has approved a share repurchase program under which Huize may repurchase up to US$5 million of its ADSs over the next 12 months. The Company plans to fund the repurchases from its existing cash balance.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure Statement
In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP net profit/(loss) 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) as net profit/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses and interest on convertible bond. 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) enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses and the interest on convertible bond. 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) 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) 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.

SHENZHEN, China, March 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Huize Holding Limited, (“Huize”, the “Company” or “we”) (NASDAQ: HUIZ), a leading digital insurance product and service platform for new generation consumers in China, today announced that its Board of Directors (“the Board”) has authorized a share repurchase program under which Huize may repurchase up to US$5 million of its Class A common shares in the form of American depositary shares over the next 12 months, subject to relevant rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Huize’s insider trading policy.
Mr. Cunjun Ma, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Huize, commented, “The Board’s decision to authorize the share repurchase program is aligned with our commitment to return value to our shareholders and reflects the confidence we have in Huize’s long-term growth prospects. We believe that the current market conditions provide us with an opportunity to strategically allocate capital to enhance shareholder value while maintaining resources to fund our operations and continued business growth.”
The share repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. Huize’s board of directors will review the share repurchase program periodically and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size. The Company expects to fund repurchases made under this program from its existing cash balance.
