Yuanbao Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results

BEIJING, Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yuanbao Inc. (“Yuanbao” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YB), a leading technology-driven online insurance distributor in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights

  • Total revenues in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB1,157.9 million (US$162.6 million), representing a 33.6% year-over-year increase from RMB866.8 million in the same period of 2024.
  • Net income in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB370.4 million (US$52.0 million), representing a 51.3% year-over-year increase from RMB244.8 million in the same period of 2024.
  • Net income margin in the third quarter of 2025 was 32.0%, compared with 28.2% in the same period of 2024.
  • Net operating cash inflow in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB326.1 million (US$45.8 million).
  • Number of new policies1 in the third quarter of 2025 was 8.0 million, representing a 41.8% year-over-year increase from 5.7 million in the same period of 2024.

Recent Developments

  • Seamless Integration of Large Language Model (LLM) into Core Operational Workflows:
    • Driving Efficiency in R&D. By integrating LLMs and associated toolchains into the R&D workflow, the Company has realized comprehensive efficiency gains across both documentation and coding processes. For technical documentation, LLMs have generated over 1,000 documents. During the coding stage, tools such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) provided one-stop assistance, covering requirement decomposition, code writing, unit test generation, and automated validation. Notably, AI-generated code accounted for nearly 50% of new code developed in the third quarter.
    • Empowering Customer Service. The Company has piloted the integration of LLM capabilities into customer service scenarios, focusing primarily on call summarization and agent assistance functions. Embedded within the customer service workspace, these capabilities automatically generate service ticket summaries, extract key information post-call, and produce consumer intent labels, action logs, and recommended next steps. On the multimodal front, AI technology is employed to assist in consumer identity verification, while real-time voice analysis captures consumer sentiment dynamics, enabling agents to complete documentation and follow-ups more efficiently.
    • Enhancing the Full Consumer Service Cycle Engine. The Company has introduced LLM-assisted modeling and automated feature extraction technologies into its full consumer service cycle engine. By embedding LLMs into the feature engineering pipeline, the Company leverages the models’ semantic understanding capabilities to analyze pseudonymised or anonymous consumer behavior, interaction semantics, and transaction information for high-dimensional feature extraction. It automatically generates and filters valuable features, enabling a transition from “manual feature design” to “intelligent feature generation,” significantly enhancing both modeling efficiency and performance.

Mr. Rui Fang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yuanbao, commented, “We sustained robust operational and financial momentum in the third quarter, driven by disciplined execution and the deepening integration of our AI capabilities. During this period, the number of new policies increased 41.8% year over year to 8.0 million, demonstrating strong market demand and enhanced consumer engagement across our platform. As of the end of September, our R&D team accounted for nearly 70% of our total workforce, ​with over 10% dedicated to AI innovation, thereby laying​ a solid foundation for the continuous iteration of our engine. We continue to scale and upgrade our proprietary AI and data stack, embedding these technologies further into our core operations. By quarter end, our matrix included over 4,900 models capable of analyzing more than 5,500 labels, an increase of approximately 400 models and 750 labels from a year ago. These assets have effectively supported stable customer acquisition costs and enhanced profitability, while enabling the translation of broad market protection needs into sustained growth momentum. The deep integration of AI and the growing scale of our data assets enable us to accelerate product development, improve service quality, and optimize operational efficiency.

On the product and service front, we offer a multi-dimensional product matrix spanning medical, critical illness, and accident insurance, and continue to roll out innovative, inclusive solutions to meet diverse user protection needs. For instance, the short-term critical illness insurance co-launched with our partnered insurance carriers offers an optimal combination of critical illness and medical insurance. It features a hybrid ‘lump-sum payment plus multiple reimbursements’ structure, providing immediate compensation upon diagnosis alongside coverage for subsequent medical expenses. This approach creates an innovative, inclusive solution for critical illness insurance that better aligns with market demand by balancing accessible coverage with affordability. Through the effective synergy of precise user targeting and agile product innovation, our user base continues to expand steadily. Looking ahead, we remain committed to strengthening our AI capabilities, deepening our footprint in the inclusive health insurance segment, and executing with financial discipline to deliver sustainable, long-term value for all stakeholders.”

Mr. Ray Wan, Chief Financial Officer of Yuanbao, added, “We delivered another strong quarter characterized by robust growth and continued efficiency gains. Total revenue reached RMB1,157.9 million, up 33.6% year over year, while net income rose by 51.3% to RMB 370.4 million. Net income margin expanded to 32.0% from 28.2% a year ago. Cash generation and liquidity remained solid, enhancing our financial flexibility to advance our AI initiatives and other strategic priorities. Moving forward, we remain focused on driving high-quality revenue growth, sustaining operating leverage, and preserving a strong liquidity buffer, positioning us to invest strategically and pursue balanced and durable growth.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income and adjusted net income margin, in evaluating the Company’s operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expense, and adjusted net income margin represents adjusted net income as a percentage of revenue. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax.

The non-GAAP financial measures are 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 measures have limitations as an analytical tool and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider it in isolation. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Adjusted net income presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure to the Company’s data.
