Waterdrop Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results and a Cash Dividend

BEIJING, Sept. 4, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and a cash dividend.

Financial and Operational Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2025

  • Further improvement in profitability: In the second quarter of 2025, net profit attributable to our ordinary shareholders reached RMB140.2 million (US$19.6 million), representing a solid increase of 58.7% year-over-year. We continued to generate positive operating cash flow during the second quarter of 2025.
  • Significant growth in insurance premiums: The first-year premiums (“FYP”) generated through our insurance business reached RMB3,204.3 million (US$447.3 million) during the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 80.2% year-over-year. Net operating revenue was RMB838.0 million (US$117.0 million), representing an increase of 23.9% year-over-year.
  • Medical crowdfunding coverage: As of June 30, 2025, around 480 million people had cumulatively donated an aggregate of RMB70.0 billion to 3.54 million patients through Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding.
  • Patient recruitment performance: As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cumulatively enrolled 12,216 patients into 1,385 clinical trial programs through the E-Find Platform.

Mr. Peng Shen, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Waterdrop, commented, “We are proud to announce that we have delivered strong revenue and profit, fueled by the further integration of AI into our sales and service processes.

The insurance business delivered an exceptional quarter. Year-over-year, FYP grew by 95.0% in short-term policies and 45.4% in long-term ones. This robust growth drove significant increases in both segment revenue and operating profit, expanding the operating margin by 2 percentage points. These results underscore the effectiveness of our strategic focus on enhanced user acquisition, accelerated product iteration, and the implementation of AI-enhanced services.

Our “Waterdrop Guardian” AI Application Suite constantly evolves, either interacting directly with end users or empowering our online consultants behind the scenes. Premiums facilitated by ‘AI Medical Insurance Expert’ climbed 155% compared to the previous quarter. ‘AI Customer Service Agent’ resolved 60% of inquiries on first contact, enhancing user experience. ‘Life Planner Copilot’ has handled 300,000 insurance product-related consultations from our online consultants, driving a double-digit productivity growth in Q2. We recently launched ‘KEYI.AI’, a real-time AI underwriting assistant for consultants, with plans to extend its availability to industry partners later this year.

On a separate note, we completed the acquisition of the remaining equity in Shenlanbao in June and anticipate further accelerating synergies.

During the second quarter, Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding upgraded its risk assessment capabilities. A large-language-model (“LLM”) engine now scans every campaign’s content, comments and hidden clues, feeding insights into a smart matrix that tracks 15 high-risk scenarios, and refines itself to identify risks more accurately. Additionally, this quarter we partnered with Guangzhou’s Civil Affairs Bureau to launch ‘Waterdrop Co-Help’, the first project under our new designation as a government-endorsed platform that integrates social and public welfare resources.

In this quarter, E-Find Platform expanded its collaboration to 198 pharmaceutical and contract research organizations. Meanwhile, we initiated services for 114 new programs. The number of patients enrolled also reached a historic high, with 999 patients enrolled in the second quarter of 2025, representing a 34.2% year-over-year revenue growth.

With a commitment to superior shareholder returns, we are pleased to announce that our board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has recently approved an enhanced cash dividend of US$10.9 million, representing a 50% increase over the previous dividend. The Board has also authorized a fifth annual share repurchase scheme. Since the launch of our first share repurchase program in 2021, we have repurchased approximately 55.7 million ADSs for US$109.0 million as of August 31, 2025.

Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, we will strive to deliver both top-line and bottom-line growth. We believe that tech-driven innovation is the core strategy and source of business excellence, and look forward to delivering a compelling success story, as well as value to our users, partners and shareholders.” 

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2025

Operating revenue, net

Net operating revenue for the second quarter of 2025 increased by 23.9% year-over-year to RMB838.0 million (US$117.0 million) from RMB676.2 million for the same period of 2024. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, net operating revenue increased by 11.2%.

  • 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 risk control technical service, user analytics and intelligent recommendation service, 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 RMB738.6 million (US$103.1 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 28.7% year-over-year from RMB573.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, which was mainly due to the increase in technical service income. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, insurance-related income increased by 12.2%.
  • 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 second quarter of 2025, we generated RMB67.4 million (US$9.4 million) in service fees, representing a slight decrease of 2.7% year-over-year from RMB69.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, crowdfunding service fees remained stable.
  • 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 second quarter of 2025, our digital clinical trial solution income amounted to RMB27.7 million (US$3.9 million), representing an increase of 34.2% from RMB20.7 million in the same period of 2024. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, digital clinical trial solution income increased by 20.6%.

Operating costs and expenses

Operating costs and expenses increased by 18.7% year-over-year to RMB740.6 million (US$103.4 million) for the second quarter of 2025. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, operating costs and expenses increased by 9.3%.

  • Operating costs increased by 30.5% year over year to RMB416.5 million (US$58.1 million) for the second quarter of 2025, as compared with RMB319.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, which was primarily driven by (i) an increase of RMB73.4 million in costs of referral and service fees, (ii) an increase of RMB10.8 million in the costs for the crowdfunding consultants team, and (iii) an increase of RMB7.0 million in personnel costs. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, operating costs increased by 11.3% from RMB374.2 million, primarily due to (i) an increase of RMB25.0 million in costs of referral and service fees, and (ii) an increase of RMB7.3 million in personnel costs. 
  • Sales and marketing expenses increased by 26.3% year-over-year to RMB198.8 million (US$27.7 million) for the second quarter of 2025, as compared with RMB157.4 million for the same quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase of RMB44.3 million in marketing expenses for third-party traffic channels. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, sales and marketing expenses increased by 15.3% from RMB172.4 million, primarily due to an increase of RMB25.4 million in marketing expenses for third-party traffic channels.
  • General and administrative expenses decreased by 21.9% year-over-year to RMB73.4 million (US$10.2 million) for the second quarter of 2025, compared with RMB94.0 million for the same quarter of 2024. The year-over-year variance was due to (i) a decrease of RMB13.4 million in allowance for credit losses, and (ii) a decrease of RMB6.0 million in professional service fees. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, general and administrative expenses decreased by 2.1% from RMB74.9 million, due to our effective cost control measures.
  • Research and development expenses remained stable at RMB51.9 million (US$7.3 million) for the second quarter of 2025, maintaining nearly the same level as RMB53.3 million for the same period of 2024. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, research and development expenses decreased by 7.6% from RMB56.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of RMB3.8 million in personnel costs and share-based compensation expenses.

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2025 was RMB97.3 million (US$13.6 million), as compared with RMB52.4 million for the second quarter of 2024 and RMB75.9 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Interest income for the second quarter of 2025 was RMB29.5 million (US$4.1 million), as compared with RMB37.5 million for the second quarter of 2024 and RMB33.8 million for the first quarter of 2025, which was mainly due to the decrease of cash position.

Income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2025 was RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million), as compared with income tax expense of RMB7.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 and RMB13.3 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Net profit attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders for the second quarter of 2025 was RMB140.2 million (US$19.6 million), as compared with RMB88.3 million for the same period of 2024, and RMB108.2 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Adjusted net profit attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders (non-GAAP(1)) for the second quarter of 2025 was RMB151.6 million (US$21.2 million), as compared with RMB108.7 million for the same period of 2024, and RMB130.0 million for the first quarter of 2025. 

Cash position(2)

As of June 30, 2025, cash position of the Company was RMB3,406.7 million (US$475.6 million), as compared with RMB3,670.3 million as of December 31, 2024.

(1) See the sections entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” and “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” for more information about the non-GAAP
     measures referred to in this announcement.

(2) Cash position includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and long-term debt investments included in long-term investments.

Share Repurchase Programs

Pursuant to the share repurchase programs launched in September 2021, September 2022, September 2023 and September 2024, respectively, we had cumulatively repurchased approximately 55.7 million ADSs from the open market with cash for a total consideration of approximately US$109.0 million as of August 31, 2025.

Our Board has approved a new share repurchase program whereby the Company is authorized to repurchase its own ordinary shares in the form of American depository shares with an aggregate value of up to US$50 million during the 12-month period through September 9, 2026. The Company expects to fund the repurchase from its existing cash balance. The Company’s proposed 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. The timing and dollar amount of repurchase transactions will be subject to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1. The Board will review the share repurchase program periodically, and may authorize adjustment to its terms and size or suspend or discontinue the program.

Cash Dividend

The Board has approved a cash dividend of US$0.03 per ADS or US$0.003 per ordinary share, for a total amount of approximately US$10.9 million, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 10, 2025. The payment date is expected to be on or around November 4, 2025, for holders of ordinary shares and on or around November 7, 2025, for holders of ADSs.

Recent Development

In order to strengthen synergies between the Group and Shenlanbao, the Group entered into a new share purchase agreement with all non-controlling shareholders of Shenlanbao to acquire all remaining equity interests in Shenlanbao. All of the closing conditions included in the new agreement had been met as of June 30, 2025, and since then, Shenlanbao has been 100% owned by the Group. The transaction was treated as an equity transaction and the difference between the consideration paid and the carrying amount of the previously recorded redeemable non-controlling interest was recognized in equity.

With full ownership, the Group can drive stronger strategic synergy. This acquisition also enables us to strengthen our service differentiation and extend technology deployment. By leveraging the Group’s industry insights while preserving Shenlanbao’s operational independence, we will unlock new growth opportunities for the enlarged entity.

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 RMB7.1636 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on June 30, 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 and foreign currency exchange gain or losses. 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.

China Matters’ Features: The Preservation of Hutongs in Beijing

BEIJING, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hutongs are among Beijing’s most iconic symbols, with nearly 1,000 of them still stretching across the city today.


China Matters’ Features: The Preservation of Hutongs in Beijing

It’s said since Yuan Dynasty, the Beijing city has been featured by its strict urban planning, requiring courtyards to be neatly aligned. The major thoroughfares were called jie and alleys were called hutong. During the Ming Dynasty, the standard Siheyuan, or courtyard house, took shape. Together with hutongs, they formed areas with distinct functions. Liulichang Hutong, for example, named after the glazed tile kilns, once located there, a famous hub for craftsmanship. By the Qing Dynasty, hutongs had been zoned for different uses such as commerce, entertainment, and residence.

Beijing began protecting hutongs over 70 years ago, sticking to the principle of “restoring the old as it was.” The areas like Qianmen Sanlihe, Dashilan, Gulou, and Shichahai have been revitalized with their historic charm preserved. Hutong residents founded Beijing’s first society for architectural heritage preservation. Kuang Han, an artist from Jiangxi, spent 30 years taking 30,000 photos and creating 2,000 paintings for hutongs. Support for hutong preservation has been widespread.

The animation series Xi’s Thought Made Easy produced by China Matters, focuses on the history and revitalization of hutongs. Let’s step into the world of Hutongs together!

Mengniu 2025 Interim Report: Continued Focus, Steady Progress in International Expansion


BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 September 2025 – On August 27, Mengniu Dairy (2319.HK) released its interim results for 2025, reporting revenue of RMB 41.57 billion for the first half of the year, with operating profit reaching RMB 3.54 billion—an increase of 13.4% year-on-year.

Thanks to the company’s ongoing implementation of lean management practices, Mengniu also achieved a 46.2% year-on-year growth in operating cash flow during the period. The operating profit margin improved by 1.5 percentage points to 8.5%.

Following the results announcement and reflecting confidence in the company’s future prospects, institutions such as JPMorgan increased their holdings in Mengniu. DBS Group and Shenwan Hongyuan also issued “Buy” ratings for the stock.

Aice Ice Cream: Deep Local Engagement Driving Growth

Mengniu’s international business delivered a standout performance in the latest financial report. Public data shows that Aice Ice Cream entered the Indonesian market in 2015, growing its annual sales from RMB 20 million to RMB 1.2 billion within three years. Currently, the brand generates over RMB 2 billion in annual revenue and holds a 34% market share in Indonesia, ranking first in the market. Aice also ranks second in the Philippines and has climbed to the number two position in Vietnam’s ice cream sector, with further expansion into neighboring countries such as Thailand.

Aice has driven innovation through its “Freezer Deployment Program,” under which nearly 600,000 freezers have been distributed across rural Indonesia, covering approximately 400,000 retail outlets. The program is supported by electricity subsidies, helping to establish a robust retail network. Notably, Aice has built a fully localized supply chain through strategic investments, including the construction of cold chain infrastructure via joint ventures and the establishment of three self-owned production facilities in Indonesia—effectively resolving cross-border logistics challenges.

To date, Aice has established four production bases across Southeast Asia. Its localized operating model—anchored in R&D, distribution, and supply chain management—has created strong competitive barriers in the region and offers a scalable blueprint for entering new markets.

Bellamy’s Accelerates Global Business System Upgrade

As a key pillar of Mengniu’s internationalization strategy, Bellamy’s Organic Infant Formula is showing strong growth momentum in Southeast Asia. Originating in Australia, Bellamy’s is a premium organic baby food brand, with its high-end product line—Bellamy’s Organic A2 Platinum—maintaining robust growth. The brand’s strategic presence in the Southeast Asian premium maternal and infant market is also contributing significantly to the upgrade and optimization of Mengniu’s global business system.

In recent years, Bellamy’s has continued to expand its footprint across Southeast Asia, with particularly strong performance in the Vietnamese market, where its infant formula segment is outpacing industry growth. In the first half of 2025, Bellamy’s completed a product line upgrade, launching new additions to its Classic Blue Can series and Organic Blue Shield series in both the Australian and Vietnamese markets.

Notably, during a recent distributor signing ceremony, the Australian Government’s Trade and Investment Counsellor to Vietnam attended in person—a strong endorsement of Bellamy’s product quality. The brand’s influence in Vietnam continues to grow, having been featured multiple times in special reports by Vietnam National Television. Bellamy’s has also enhanced local brand awareness through hosting visits from Vietnamese government and industry association delegations.

Entering a New Stage of Internationalization

Industry experts note that the globalization of the dairy industry faces multiple challenges, including supply chain integration, product localization, and building brand trust. Mengniu’s internationalization strategy goes beyond simple product exports, adopting an integrated “Product–Brand–Culture” approach to establish a multidimensional global presence.

On the branding front, Mengniu leverages global IPs to strengthen emotional connections with consumers, with sports marketing delivering particularly strong results. Since becoming the first Chinese dairy sponsor of the FIFA World Cup in 2018, the company has continued to sponsor major international events such as the World Cup and the Olympic Games. Through its brand message—”I wasn’t born strong; I was born to be strong”—Mengniu aligns the spirit of perseverance with athletic excellence, deepening global recognition of its brand values and product quality.

In terms of cultural outreach, Mengniu has positioned itself as an ambassador of Chinese culture, contributing to the broader narrative of cultural exports. Its collaboration with Ne Zha 2 not only launched co-branded products but also brought the creativity of Chinese IPs to global audiences.

Mengniu’s internationalization journey reflects a new model for Chinese brands going global: from product localization and brand IP development to achieving cultural resonance. This evolution marks a shift from exporting “Made in China” to communicating “Chinese Values.” With strategic patience and cultural confidence, Mengniu is steadily advancing from simply “going global” to “integrating globally”—and ultimately, to “leading globally.”

Sungrow Delivers First C&I Community BESS Projects in South Australia Undergoing CSIP-AUS Testing

ADELAIDE, Australia, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sungrow, a global leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, has successfully deployed its Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at two Living Choice retirement villages in Flagstaff Hill and Fullarton, South Australia. Featuring PowerStack 200CS (ST225kWh-110kW-2h) BESS units and 455CS (ST455kWh-110kW-4h) BESS, these projects mark a significant milestone as the first commercial and industrial (C&I) community sites in the state to undergo CSIP-AUS testing, shaping the future of smart, flexible energy management.

First C&I Community BESS Projects in South Australia
First C&I Community BESS Projects in South Australia

Located at Flagstaff Hill and Fullarton, the two Living Choice retirement village projects are set to be commissioned in July 2025. Designed to ensure power supply for equipment while generating revenue through energy arbitrage and Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS), these systems enable the communities to reduce operational costs and actively participate in Australia’s evolving energy market.

Why Sungrow?

  • CSIP-AUS Testing Approved

As an Australia implementation guide for IEEE 2030.5 protocol, CSIP-AUS (Common Smart Inverter Profile for Australia) offers enhanced security, configurability, and remote command execution for distributed energy resources. As some of the first C&I projects in South Australia to undergo CSIP-AUS testing, these deployments mark a critical step in adapting to the state’s move towards tighter grid interoperability. 

Under the framework, SA Power Networks (SAPN) dispatches export/import limits and ramp-rate instructions via Sungrow’s iSolarCloud platform API, with the BESS dynamically responding while continuing arbitrage and FCAS trading, enabling smarter, more responsive grid integration for C&I applications. By supporting CSIP-AUS, Sungrow not only meets current DNSP compliance requirements but also reduces integration complexity and SCADA deployment costs which is critical for the scalability of C&I energy storage projects.

  • FCAS Commissioning Achieved

Sungrow’s Community BESS projects in South Australia have also successfully achieved FCAS commissioning. With the increasing penetration of renewables, the importance of FCAS has become even more prominent. As a critical ancillary service in power systems, FCAS helps maintain grid frequency stability by quickly responding to supply-demand imbalances, regulating the charge and discharge of energy storage systems and keeping the frequency within an acceptable range.

Taking place from October 1–2, TOKEN2049 is the flagship global event for crypto and blockchain, bringing together top founders, executives, investors, and policymakers. The event will see BingX host a main stage panel, a second-stage AI-focused session, and an exclusive afterparty.

At the second-stage panel, BingX will invite major players from the Web3 sector to discuss the intersection of AI and Blockchain. This dedicated AI x Blockchain panel will focus on how AI can move beyond hype to deliver real-world utility—enhancing market clarity, empowering users with financial dignity, and bridging gaps between fragmented trading tools. For BingX, this convergence of technologies is underpinned by its $300 million commitment, a three-year roadmap to embed AI into every layer of trading experience and company operation.

Additionally, Terry will also join a special session titled “The Winning Mindset: Greatness in Sport and Crypto” alongside Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer at BingX. The discussion will encompass an exploration of the parallels between elite sports performance and success in digital assets, highlighting how discipline, resilience, and innovation fuel excellence in both fields.

TOKEN2049 is where the brightest minds in digital assets come together, and as Title Sponsor, BingX is proud to showcase what makes us the leading Web3 AI company,” said Lin. “Our $300 million commitment to go ‘All-in-AI’ reflects our belief that the future of trading is defined not by speculation, but by intelligence. With initiatives like Trained on Greatness alongside Chelsea FC, we’re uniting creativity, community, and innovation to create a smarter, more human-centered trading experience — and TOKEN2049 is the perfect stage to share that vision.

BingX and Chelsea FC first announced their partnership in January 2024, aligning two high-performance brands united by discipline, innovation, and forward-looking vision. This summer, BingX supported the unveiling of Chelsea’s official 2025/26 training kit under the shared campaign theme Trained on Greatness. With Chelsea FC legend John Terry joining BingX at TOKEN2049, the collaboration will extend beyond the pitch—fans and traders alike can not only look forward to Chelsea FC legend visiting the BingX booth, but also a deep 1-on-1 sharing session with Lin, covering everything from football to crypto.

As BingX continues to expand its global footprint, its presence at TOKEN2049 underscores its role as a bridge between AI, Web3, and mainstream culture. By combining cutting-edge AI innovation, user-first trading solutions, and iconic partnerships, BingX is setting new standards for trust and accessibility in digital assets.
