Noah Holdings Announces $50M Share Repurchase, Signaling Confidence in Overseas Growth

HONG KONG, Aug 29, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Noah Holdings Limited ("Noah" or the "Company") (NYSE: NOAH and HKEX: 6686), a leading and pioneer wealth management service provider offering comprehensive one-stop advisory services on global investment and asset allocation primarily for Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth investors, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2024.Noah recorded total net revenue of RMB 616 million in the second quarter of 2024. The wealth management business generated net revenues of RMB 416 million, while the asset management business reported net revenues of RMB 192 million.Strategically Overseas Expansion and Comprehensive investment SolutionsNoah’s overseas expansion is gaining momentum as client demand for global asset allocation strengthens, with overseas net revenue contribution increasing to 46.3% in the first half of 2024 and asset under management increasing 14.1% year-over-year during the quarter. Noah also raised US$ 338 million for overseas private equity, private credit, and other primary market funds year-to-date, a significant 40.2% year-over-year increase.Income from operations was RMB 134 million, an increase of 10.3% sequentially, with an operating margin of 21.8%, an increase from 18.7% in the first quarter of 2024. These results directly reflect the early success of Noah’s strategic transformation as it implements effective cost control measures, restructures its domestic business, and accelerates its expansion overseas."The pace of our overseas expansion is gaining momentum," said Zhe Yin, the Chief Executive Officer of Noah Holdings. "Our team of overseas relationship managers directly supporting this expansion grew 101.8% year-over-year and 24.2% sequentially during the quarter. While we are still in the relatively early stages of our overseas expansion, these results reflect the direction we are headed in going forward.”“Domestically, we are focused on stabilizing operations by streamlining our branch network to reduce overhead costs and adjusting our client service model to comply with evolving regulatory requirements by separating relationship and business development managers into different independent business units. While these initiatives may temporarily impact business activity over the next few quarters, they will ensure our ability to effectively and compliantly serve clients with a comprehensive portfolio of products in the long term. I am pleased with the progress we have made this quarter in expanding overseas, and confident in both our long-term growth potential and ability to consistently generate returns for shareholders."As of June 30, 2024, the number of overseas registered clients increased by 6.7% sequentially 23.0% year-over-year to 16,786, further reflecting the growing demand for overseas asset allocation. Notably, the number of overseas diamond and black card clients saw an even more substantial year-on-year increase of 14.2%.The Company also observed a shift in product preferences, a trend that aligns with the forward-looking strategies outlined in Noah's Chief Investment Office’s (CIO) house view. Interest in investment products increased substantially as a result of expectations for a potential Federal Reserve rate cut during the second half of the year. Known for its expertise and ability to offer clients alternative investments on a global basis, Noah is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity to grow its USD AUA.As of June 30, 2024, Noah’s overseas relationship manager team grew to 113, a 24.2% increase sequentially. This expansion reflects Noah’s commitment to building a robust presence in key international financial hubs, and enhances its ability to serve high-net-worth clients with comprehensive global investment solutions.Prioritizing Shareholder Interests and Delivering Sustained ReturnsAs part of its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns, the board of directors of the company authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$50 million of its American depositary shares or ordinary shares, effective immediately. The authorized term for carrying out this share repurchase program is two years.Noah announced in November 2023 that a new capital management and shareholder return policy (the “Policy”) had been adopted, pursuant to which up to 50% the Company's non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders of the preceding financial year will be allocated to a Corporate Actions Budget which will serve various purposes, including dividend distribution and share repurchases. The share repurchase program announced on August 29 2024 does not form a part of the Corporate Actions Budget under the Policy. The Corporate Actions Budget based on Noah’s financial performance in 2024 is expected to be determined and announced alongside the Company’s earnings results for the fourth quarter and full year ending on December 31, 2024.Ms. Jingbo Wang, co-founder and chairwoman of Noah, commented, “This share repurchase program, along with the dividend payout we just completed, reflects our unwavering commitment to prioritizing shareholder interests and delivering sustained returns. While China’s wealth management industry is navigating a challenging period and undergoing a transition, we remain confident in Noah’s unique advantages stemming from our deep understanding of Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth individuals’ (HNWI) needs and our ability to deliver products and services to this still-growing client base. We are one of a few independent firms that maintains access, through years of investor education, to a large group of qualified individual investors who continue to seek professional services.”“As such, we believe that our stock is deeply undervalued and does not reflect our growth prospects, robust balance sheet and cash reserves, or the special bond we have formed with the Mandarin-speaking HNWIs globally. We value both our long-term and new shareholders and are committed to sharing our success with them through more proactive capital allocation policies moving forward.”Strengthening Commitment to ESG PrinciplesIn the first half of 2024, Noah published its 10th Annual environmental, social, and governance (ESG) report, highlighting its decade-long commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainable practices. Additionally, Gopher Asset Management, Noah's asset management arm, also joined the latest Nature Responsible Management initiative, Spring, announced by Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2024, reinforcing its role in driving responsible investment practices in order to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.By aligning with the PRI, Noah reaffirms its commitment to integrating ESG factors into its investment processes, fostering sustainable and responsible investment practices that benefit all stakeholders.Noah continues to adapt and evolve amidst a challenging market environment. The Company’s strategic initiatives, focused on global expansion, technological innovation, and sustainable practices, are beginning to yield tangible results, laying a strong foundation for continued success in the years to come.

The Company’s two aircraft product lines, the SR2X Series and the Vision Jet, have successfully set the industry standard for owner-piloted aircraft and are currently certified and validated in more than 60 countries with cumulative deliveries of over 9,700 SR2X Series aircraft and over 500 Vision Jet aircraft worldwide as of the June 30, 2024.As part of its wide-ranging product offering strategy, the Company’s SR2X Series consists of an entry level aircraft, the SR20, as well as the SR22 and SR22T, both of which offer increasing levels of performance and capabilities addressing different customer needs and preferences for a single-engine piston aircraft. SR2X Series aircraft can typically carry up to four adults and one child. The Vision Jet targets a different and more premium segment of the personal aviation market and offers significantly enhanced performance, capabilities and specifications at a higher price point. The Vision Jet is also designed for owners to fly at jet speed without requiring support from a full-time pilot or flight department. The Vision Jet can typically carry up to five adults and two children. With the launch of the G7 line and continuous upgrade of product portfolio, it will sustain the growth of the business and continue to provide a premium experience for the customers.In the first half of 2024, Cirrus Aircraft delivered 20 more aircraft and the average sales prices (“ASP”) of all deliveries steady increased as compared to the same period in 2023. The average sales price of the SR2X aircraft deliveries was approximately US$1.04 million compared to US$0.99 million in the same period in 2023. The average sales price of the Vision Jet aircraft deliveries was US$3.33 million compared to US$3.08 million in the same period in 2023. At the same time, net orders increased for both the SR2X and Vision Jet combined for the six months ended June 30, 2024 by a total of 107 units from 255 for the six months ending June 30, 2023 to 362 for the six months ending June 30, 2024. This increase is partly attributable to the launch of the G7 line as well as the continuation of the product ladder between the two product lines and the growing ecosystem around the ownership experience. The significantly increased net orders recorded during the Reporting Period will bring a great momentum for the steady growth of the Company.Outlook and Future PlanIn the future, Cirrus Aircraft will continue to focus on product improvement, model upgrades and ongoing generational changes to equip its aircraft with new technologies and designs to consolidate the leading position of the industry.

The production and sales volume of the Group’s container manufacturing business witnessed a significant year-on-year increase. In particular, the accumulated sales volume of dry containers reached 1,382,700 TEUs (same period in 2023: 263,100 TEUs), representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 425.54%. The accumulated sales volume of reefer containers reached 44,700 TEUs (same period in 2023: 51,500 TEUs), representing a year-on-year decrease of approximately 13.2%. During the period, the container manufacturing business of the Group recorded a revenue of RMB24.95 billion (same period in 2023: RMB13.668 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 82.54%, and a net profit of RMB1.276 billion (same period in 2023: RMB0.768 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 66.25%. During the period, the Group took decisive action in response to the surging transportation demand in the container transportation market and the issue of lower container turnaround efficiency due to the detours caused by the Red Sea incident, resulting in significant improvements in production efficiency and delivery capabilities,  further boosting overall operational efficiency and market competitiveness.Driven by similar factors, in the logistics services business, both business volume and profitability of most products of the Group recorded considerable year-on-year growth in the first half of the year, with more notable growth in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter. During the period, the logistics services business of the Group realised a revenue of RMB14.089 billion (same period in 2023: RMB9.132 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 54.28%, and a net profit of RMB204 million (same period in 2023: RMB55 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 274.74%. In the first half of the year, the sea transportation business performed well due to the multiple measures and proactive responses, ranking CIMC Wetrans as TOP 13 on Transprot Topic’s Global Sea Transportation Enterprise List for 2024, the third place among Chinese enterprises.In the road transportation vehicles business, CIMC Vehicles actively forges new quality productivity, and continues to deepen the “StarLink Project”. During the first half of the year, against the backdrop of the industry bottoming out, it rises to the challenge and breaks through against the trend, its market share has increased, maintaining the number one position domestically. In the specialty vehicles business, CIMC Vehicles continued to consolidate its domestic market and expand into overseas markets, and actively developed integrated new energy products, leading to the small-scale delivery of the industry-first integrated hybrid electric semi-trailer tractor mixer. During the period, CIMC Vehicles achieved revenue of RMB10.7 billion (same period in 2023: RMB13.47 billion), representing a year-on-year decrease of 20.56%; achieved a net profit of RMB574 million.In the airport facilities and logistics equipment, fire safety and rescue equipment business, CIMC TianDa through integrating production and marketing layouts both at home and abroad, actively promoted integrated operations, thereby reducing overall operating costs and striving to maintain its advantages and keep its long-term stable growth of profitability in a fiercely competitive environment. During the period, the revenue of the business segment grew by 5.31% to RMB2.403 billion, and net profit increased by 364.81% to RMB37 million. In the first half of 2024, the increase in the acceptance and delivery of passenger boarding bridges and fire trucks had driven the increase in the revenue from the airport facilities and logistics equipment, and fire safety and rescue equipment businesses as compared with the same period last year, and total profit of the segment also increased year-on-year. In terms of newly signed orders, the demand in the airport facilities market continued to recover, and the program to issue RMB1 trillion treasure bonds in China boosted the rise in demand for fire safety equipment, owing to which total newly signed orders maintained overall growth.In the energy industries field:In the offshore engineering business, in the first half of the year, the international oil prices were at a high level, which stimulated an increase in demand for the oil and gas production platforms, the continuous growth in marine operation activities drove the utilisation ratio of and the rental for offshore engineering equipment to be on the rise, and the offshore engineering equipment market continued to recover. During the period, as new orders for offshore engineering entered the construction period successively, the offshore engineering business of the Group recorded a revenue of RMB7.784 billion (same period in 2023: RMB4.119 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 88.95% growth. In terms of new orders: the value of effective orders/orders won increased by 20.1% year-on-year to US$1.79 billion (same period in 2023: US$1.49 billion) as of the end of June, including two FPSO and three ro-ro ships. The accumulated value of orders on hand increased by 20.9% to US$6.18 billion (same period in 2023: US$5.11 billion), of which the proportion of oil and gas business, wind power installation vessels, and ro-ro ships was approximately 2:1:1, which had effectively eased the periodic fluctuation of the oil and gas market, demonstrating that successful strategic transformation had been achieved.In the offshore engineering asset operation business, the Group’s on-lease platforms maintained its high-quality services and occupation rates and continued to provide customers with high-quality and efficient services. Against the backdrop of global energy security and growing consumer demand, the offshore engineering market remained active. The deep-water platform market has benefited from continued investment in development by international oil companies. According to Rystad’s forecast, global capital spending on deepwater oil and gas drilling will increase 10% year-on-year, hitting the highest level in over 10 years. The increase in global demand and the reduction in drilling platform availability are jointly driving the continued growth in day rates and utilisation rates. During the period, Caspian Driller, one of the Group’s jack-up drilling platforms, was granted a 3+2 year contract extension by the customer; and Deepsea Yantai, one of the Group’s mid-deepwater semi-submersible drilling platforms, was granted a contract extension by the customer, and the new leases increased by over 10% in daily rate as compared to the current contracts.In the energy, chemical, and liquid food equipment business, this segment achieved a revenue of RMB12.121 billion (the same period last year: RMB11.388 billion), representing a 6.43% year-over-year growth, and net profits of RMB242 million (the same period last year: RMB435 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 44.52%. In which, CIMC Enric registered a revenue of RMB11.48 billion (same period last year: RMB10.76 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 6.7%, newly signed orders amounted to RMB16.4 billion (the same period last year: RMB12.67 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 29.5%, orders on hand as of the end of June amounted to RMB29.35 billion (the same period last year: RMB20.6 billion), representing a significant year-on-year increase of 42.5%, reaching a record high. The clean energy segment saw steady revenue growth, with strong demand for LNG storage and transportation equipment, as well as LNG on-vehicle cylinders. The small and medium-sized liquefied gas carriers market remained highly prosperous. In the hydrogen energy field, we successfully acquired the core assets of Beijing Zhonglian Sheng during the period and won the bid for China's largest ammonia, hydrogen, and alcohol tank project. In the chemical and environment segment, its tank container global market share remained number one and demonstrated resilient development. In the liquid food segment, it actively responded to market changes and seized growth opportunities in the domestic liquor market, winning bids for multiple liquor projects.Outlook and future developmentLogistics SegmentIn the container manufacturing business, according to CLARKSONS’ forecast in July, the growth of global container trade will significantly increase from 0.7% in 2023 to 5.1% in 2024, and in 2025, the global container trade is expected to see further growth of 2.9%, which suggests an optimistic and stable outlook for the transportation demand in the container transportation market. To cope with the risk of container shortage brought about by these uncertain events, customers’ willingness to spare containers will increase, coupled with the stable replacement rate of old containers, the demand for new containers is expected to be underpinned by the stable fundamentals during 2024–2025.In the road transportation vehicle business, in the second half of 2024, the demand for logistics and transportation in China will gradually recover, and the semi-trailer industry in China will accelerate its transformation and upgrading towards a new development stage of regularisation, standardisation, intelligence, and electrification. As the U.S. policy trend of interest rate cuts becomes increasingly certain, the demand for semi-trailers in North America may be released; and as the regulation on sustainable development of the European semi-trailer industry becomes stricter and the demand for multimodal transportation grows, the European semi-trailer industry, which is experiencing a slowdown in demand, may be benefited. There is an expected recovery in the specialty vehicle industry, with the penetration rate of new energy specialty vehicles gradually increasing and the regularisation process of specialty vehicle transportation speeding up.Energy SegmentIn the energy, chemicals, and liquid food equipment business, the latest report of Goldman Sachs Group predicts that by 2029, global investment in LNG is expected to increase by more than 50%, and global LNG supply will surge by 80% by 2030. In the domestic market, IEA predicts that by 2030, China’s share in effective LNG contracts will be doubled, increasing from 12% in 2021 to about 25%. As a leading enterprise in advanced intelligent manufacturing of clean energy equipment, driven by the increase in LNG demand, CIMC Enric is expected to continue to benefit from the related storage and transportation equipment and engineering business and will continue to expand business opportunities in overseas markets such as Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. CIMC Enric will pay attention to the changes and opportunities in the hydrogen energy market, continue to deepen the whole industrial chain layout and integrate solution capability of “preparation, storage, transportation, filling and application.  In addition, leveraging its extensive years of experience in production technology and quality management in the tank container manufacturing field and the market share of its medical equipment components business, the Group will be actively monitoring changes in the global liquid food market, and maintaining close attention on emerging opportunities in the domestic liquor and other new industry segments.In the offshore engineering business, due to the relatively high oil prices continuing to stimulate oil and gas production platforms, the offshore engineering construction market was entering an upward cycle. The FPSO/FLNG market has high short-term demand and ample long-term project reserves. It is anticipated that offshore engineering manufacturers will maintain a high capacity utilisation rate over the next 3–5 years. Leveraging the advantage of the industrial cluster effect, the offshore engineering manufacturers in China are competing for orders with high technical thresholds with those in Japan and South Korea. In the second half of 2024, the Group’s offshore engineering business will continue to actively promote transformation, and integrate the industry mapping. Taking offshore oil and gas as the foundation, the Group will gradually expand to new energy sources to form a business portfolio that dilutes the impacts of the industrial cycle.Financial and Asset Management SegmentThe offshore engineering asset operation and management business of CIMC will continue to capitalise on the active cycle in the offshore engineering market and fully utilise the advantages in the entire industrial chain to advance market development, thereby improving asset rental rates. By focusing on customer needs, the Group will enhance customer satisfaction and explore future cooperation opportunities. Through lean management, the Group will continuously strengthen cost control and core competitiveness, promoting steady growth in profitability.The Group's management concludes, “In the first half of the year, the Group has consolidated and enhanced its leading industry position in its existing core businesses, while also focusing on expanding multiple strategic emerging businesses. Our core businesses have achieved steady and high-quality growth, and our effective global business layout has also effectively mitigated the impact of recent global market cyclical fluctuations.Looking ahead to the second half of the year, CIMC will follow the guidance of national policies based on the situation in the new development stage, and will also continue the implementation of the strategic theme of “accelerating the construction of new growth drivers and focusing on promoting high-quality development. We will firmly grasp the important opportunities of new quality productivity, the "Belt and Road" initiative, the unified large market, scientific and technological innovation, and green development. By consolidating and enhancing our leading industry position in our existing core businesses, we will continue to activate new business value and new driving forces, to achieve our goal of high-quality growth."-Ends-About China International Marine Containers (Group) Co., Ltd.The CIMC Group is a world leading equipment and solution provider in logistics and energy industries, and its industry cluster mainly covers logistics and energy fields, strengthening its position as a global market leader.

During the period, “Doomsday: Last Survivors” and “Viking Rise” generated approximately HK$500 million and HK$300 million, respectively, replacing “Lords Mobile” to become the new growth drivers. Following its restructuring at the beginning of 2024, the APP Business swiftly regained momentum and achieved record-breaking revenue of HK$400 million in the first half of 2024, accounting for 15% of the Group’s total revenue, and establishing itself as a diversified growth catalyst. During the period, revenue from Asia, Europe and North America accounted for 41%, 34% and 21%, respectively, of the Group’s total revenue.With the contribution of the aforementioned businesses, continuous resource optimization, and extensive utilization of AI technology, the Group achieved a net profit of HK$330 million in the first half of 2024. The Group’s core business exceeded HK$350 million in net profit, while the investment business recorded a slight loss of approximately HK$25 million due to fair-value changes of investees. As at 30 June 2024, the Group’s mobile games were available in 23 different languages worldwide, with approximately 1.45 billion gamers in total and 17 million monthly active users (“MAU”) across more than 200 countries and regions.“Viking Rise”, the Group’s first Viking-themed strategy game, received widespread acclaim when it was launched in late 2022. Throughout the first half of 2024, the Group continued to enhance the game’s content, introducing a variety of in-game features including social play, instances, and guild battles. In a marketing campaign, the Group partnered with Hafþor Julius Björnsson, the “World’s Strongest Man” and renowned actor from the classic American TV show, to be the forefront authority for the new Valhalla Drill game mode. Additionally, the collaboration between the game and the popular TV show “Vikings” from MGM Television and its spinoff series “Vikings: Valhalla” was very well received by the game’s 30 million players. With recent marketing initiatives, the game is projected to achieve a new record in August, with monthly gross billing expected to reach HK$80 million.Expanding on the initial version of “Doomsday: Last Survivors”, the group introduced an exciting blend of MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) and Battle Royale features to its strategy gameplay. To further enhance the experience, the Group has unveiled “Genesis War”, a thrilling large-scale guild battle that adds a new dimension to the game, propelling the average monthly gross billing to HK$86 million. The Group worked with the renowned fighting game, “THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’97”, and held the first International Offline SLG Championship for “Doomsday: Last Survivors” and “Lords Mobile”. This groundbreaking tournament is a first for the games industry.“Lords Mobile”, IGG’s innovative blockbuster title, is the Group’s first cross-platform, multi-language, real-time game designed for global gamers. Launched in 2016, the game has garnered widespread acclaim from gamers, and is recognized for its longevity[1] and ability to generate stable revenue for the Group. As at 30 June 2024, it has amassed 710 million registered users worldwide and has 9.5 million MAU. The Group unveiled an exciting array of new marketing initiatives, including the much-anticipated “Guild Expedition” feature and collaborations with esteemed partners such as iconic Italian sports car manufacturer “PAGANI”, blockbuster movies like “Shrek” and “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”, and the fighting game “THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV”, to offer players a refreshing gaming experience.Following a strategic restructuring in early 2024, the APP Business swiftly regained its stride and achieved remarkable milestones in gross billing and user acquisitions. During the period, the APP Business experienced a surge in monthly gross billing to an impressive HK$100 million, contributing a substantial HK$400 million in revenue for the period, accounting for 15% of the Group’s total revenue. It solidified the APP Business as a pivotal catalyst for diversified growth within the Group. As at 30 June 2024, it has over 41 million MAU. The Group’s commitment to promoting and diversifying its product portfolio, leveraging its platform-based business model, led the APP Business to achieve a monthly gross billing of HK$120 million in July.Through a combination of share repurchases and dividend payouts, the Group consistently returns value to its shareholders. During the period, the Group repurchased close to 10 million shares for a consideration of nearly HK$33 million, representing approximately 10% of interim profit. The Board of Directors declared an interim dividend of HK8.5 cents per ordinary share, representing approximately 30% of interim profit. The dividend declared plus the amount spent to repurchase shares make up about 40% of the Group’s net profit for the first half of 2024.By adhering to its long-term operational strategy, the Group will drive steady growth in both its core game business and the APP Business. Additionally, the Group will continue to adopt Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (“AIGC”) technology to optimize costs and enhance profitability. Increased marketing initiatives for “Viking Rise” and the continued growth of the APP Business are fuelling the Group’s upward trajectory and positioning it for sustained profitability in the long run. Embracing the corporate spirit of “Innovators at Work, Gamers at Heart”, the Group will continue to strengthen its global R&D and operation capabilities, to relentlessly pursue its strategy of quality, innovation, and excellence in creating innovative yet timeless games.[1] APP Business: the Group’s mobile applications[2] Source: Sensor Tower, a third-party analytics platform– END –About IGG IncEstablished in 2006, IGG Inc is a leading global mobile games and applications developer and operator with headquarters in Singapore and local offices in the United States, China, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Brazil, Türkiye, Italy and Spain.
