Commenting on the second quarter of 2016 financial results, Mr. Chunlin Wang, chief executive officer of CNinsure, stated, "We reported another strong quarter. Our net revenues grew 58.6% year-over-year and insurance premiums were up 46.1% year-over-year, again beating our expectation. We have also outperformed the industry, with our life insurance premiums growing by 61.5% year-over-year as compared to an industry growth of 44.7% and our property and casualty insurance premiums growing by 44.2% year-over-year as compared to an industry growth of 5.3%.

"Looking back to the first half of 2016, we believe the remarkable performance was mainly driven by the following factors:

1) Favorable regulations. The new vitality and buying power unlocked by the deepening pricing deregulation for auto insurance and life insurance created stronger demand for independent insurance intermediaries as a well-established and cost-effective distribution channel;

2) Network and sales force expansion. Our branch in Anhui province has started its business operations, and we are in the process of establishing branches in Qingdao, in Guangxi and Yunnan provinces and are preparing to enter Inner Mongolia. In the first half 2016, we further extended our sales network with an addition of 82 sales outlets and approximately 35,000 sales agents; and

3) Marketing strategy. We have successfully implemented our marketing strategy to further strengthen our market position, having invested over RMB172.8 million (US$26.0 million) in the first half 2016.

"The strong growth in the first half of 2016 is a testament that we have the right strategy and have made the right decision. Looking ahead, we will continue to extend our sales footprint and implement flexible marketing programs, in order to achieve our goal of RMB100 billion in insurance premiums."

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2016

Total net revenues were RMB1,066.1 million (US$160.4 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 58.6% from RMB672.1 million for the corresponding period in 2015.

  • Net revenues for the insurance agency business were RMB850.9 million (US$128.0 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 67.0% from RMB509.5 million for the corresponding period in 2015. The increase was primarily driven by a 45.8% increase in net revenues derived from the P&C insurance agency business, from RMB442.9 million for the second quarter of 2015 to RMB645.8 million (US$97.2 million) for the second quarter of 2016, and a 207.9% increase in net revenues derived from the life insurance agency business, from RMB66.6 million for the second quarter of 2015 to RMB205.0 million (US$30.9 million) for the second quarter of 2016. The growth of the P&C insurance agency business was primarily due to a 40.0% growth in insurance premiums as a result of enhanced marketing efforts. The increase in net revenues generated from the life insurance agency business was primarily due to a 251.9% increase in commissions derived from new long-term life insurance policy sales, primarily driven by enhanced marketing efforts and the successful implementation of our cross-selling strategy. Revenues generated from the insurance agency business accounted for 79.8% of total net revenues in the second quarter of 2016.

  • Net revenues for the insurance brokerage business were RMB134.4 million (US$20.2 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 38.4% from RMB97.1 million for the corresponding period in 2015.

  • Total operating costs were RMB820.0 million (US$123.4 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 59.3% from RMB514.7 million for the corresponding period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to sales growth.

    • Costs of insurance agency business were RMB667.2 million (US$100.4 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 67.8% from RMB397.6 million for the corresponding period in 2015, primarily driven by a 50.3% increase in costs for the P&C insurance agency business to RMB530.3 million (US$79.8 million) for the second quarter of 2016, and a 206.6% increase in costs for the life insurance agency business to RMB136.9 million (US$20.6 million) for the second quarter of 2016. The increase in costs for the P&C insurance agency business largely tracked sales growth and an increase in average commission level paid to sales agents in the market driven by increased competition in the auto insurance market.

Costs incurred by the insurance agency business accounted for 81.4% of total operating costs in the second quarter of 2016.

  • Selling expenses were RMB140.4 million (US$21.1 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 364.0% from RMB30.3 million for the corresponding period in 2015, primarily attributable to RMB94.4 million (US$14.2 million) in marketing expenses in the second quarter of the year.

  • General and administrative expenses were RMB113.9 million (US$17.1 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 8.6% from RMB104.8 million for the corresponding period in 2015.

As a result of the preceding factors, we had an operating loss of RMB8.2 million (US$1.2 million) for the second quarter of 2016, as compared to an operating income of RMB22.3 million for the corresponding period in 2015.

Investment income was RMB26.7 million (US$4.0 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of 15.0% from RMB31.5 million for the corresponding period in 2015. The investment income represented yields from short-term investments in financial products which mainly consist of inter-bank deposits or collective trust products with a term of half a year to two years and interest payments on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Our investment income fluctuates from quarter to quarter because these investments are classified as available for sales and investment income is recognized when received.

Interest income was RMB1.8 million (US$0.3 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of 88.9% from RMB16.5 million for the corresponding period in 2015. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to decreases in interest rate and term deposits as a result of an increase in short-term investments.

Income tax expense was RMB1.7 million (US$0.3 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of 83.1% from RMB9.9 million for the corresponding period in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in operating income. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 was 6.9% compared with 13.6% for the corresponding period in 2015.

Share of income of affiliates was RMB11.2 million (US$1.7 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of 10.1% from RMB12.5 million for the corresponding period in 2015, mainly attributable to a decrease of profits from Sincere Fame International Limited, in which the Company owns 20.6% of the equity interests.

Net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders was RMB31.0 million (US$4.7 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of 61.3% from RMB80.1 million for the corresponding period in 2015.
