Waterdrop Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2024 Unaudited Financial Results and a Cash Dividend

BEIJING, March 12, 2025 - 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and a cash dividend.

Financial and Operational Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of 2024

 

   

Marked improvement in profitability and healthy liquidity: In the fourth quarter of 2024, net profit attributable to our ordinary shareholders reached RMB99.6 million (US$13.6 million), representing a year-over-year growth of 68.7%. We continued to generate positive operating cash flow during the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

   

Solid business performance: For the fourth quarter of 2024, the first-year premiums (“FYP”) generated through our insurance business amounted to RMB1,897.9 million (US$260.0 million), representing an increase of 24.5% year over year. Net operating revenue was RMB686.8 million (US$94.1 million), representing an increase of 4.2% year over year.

 

   

Expanded crowdfunding coverage: As of December 31, 2024, around 470 million people cumulatively had donated an aggregate of RMB67.5 billion to 3.40 million patients through Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding.

 

   

Dependable performance in patient recruitment: As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cumulatively enrolled 10,395 patients into 1,212 clinical trial programs through the E-Find Platform.

Mr. Peng Shen, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Waterdrop, commented, “We are pleased to report a set of outstanding financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2024. We have sustained remarkable profitability and doubled our annual net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders, attaining a 119.8% year-on-year increase.

Our insurance business capped off the year with an annual FYP of RMB7,472.8 million (US$1,023.8 million), marking a 5.1% year-over-year growth. Throughout the fourth quarter, we honed our focus on optimizing customer acquisition channels and diversifying product offerings, which yielded robust outcomes. Our targeted acquisition strategies spurred a 14.9% year-over-year surge in new user acquired. Leveraging user insights, we introduced more inclusive short-term insurance products in this quarter, including medical plans tailored for individuals with pre-existing conditions. Furthermore, we sustained our efforts to enhance and diversify our long-term insurance offerings, with disability income insurance alone achieving an FYP exceeding RMB90 million.

As a milestone, Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding has been officially recognized as a pioneer in China’s standardized medical crowdfunding sector. Following new legislation changes, the platform secured designation from the Ministry of Civil Affairs on December 25, 2024, becoming one of the first batch state-endorsed ‘Online Service Platforms for Individuals Seeking Financial Help’.

During this quarter, our digital clinical trial solution income continued its growth, realizing a year-over-year increase of 22.9%. We collaborated with a total of 177 pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations (“CROs”). Moreover, we enrolled 880 patients and initiated services for 79 new programs during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Alternatively, we recently announced the strategic integration and local deployment of DeepSeek models, which marks a significant step forward in our AI-driven insurance ecosystem. Utilizing advanced AI models, Waterdrop’s AI Insurance Expert now supports multi-modal interactions, including voice and text. The system excels in managing complex dialogues and assisting with sales strategies, autonomously handling voice communications and consultations for medical insurance products.

Our every decision is guided by the principles of maximizing and prioritizing shareholders’ returns. By the end of February 2025, the Company had cumulatively repurchased approximately 52.1 million ADSs from the open market. We are also pleased to announce that, with the board approval, the Company will soon start another cash dividend of approximately US$7.3 million.

Looking ahead to 2025, we aim for faster growth and to scale up our business operations, all the while continuing to contribute to profitability, by using technology to enhance our core competitiveness.”


Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2024

Operating revenue, net

Net operating revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased by 4.2% year over year to RMB686.8 million (US$94.1 million) from RMB659.4 million for the same period of 2023. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, net operating revenue decreased by 2.5%.

 

   

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 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 RMB582.4 million (US$79.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 0.9% year over year from RMB587.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, which was mainly due to the decrease in technical service income. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, insurance-related income decreased by 3.0%.

 

   

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 fourth quarter of 2024, we generated RMB65.1 million (US$8.9 million) in service fees, representing an increase of 62.8% year over year from RMB40.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, crowdfunding service fees decreased by 1.1%.

 

   

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 fourth quarter of 2024, our digital clinical trial solution income amounted to RMB25.5 million (US$3.5 million), representing an increase of 22.9% from RMB20.8 million in the same period of 2023. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, digital clinical trial solution income increased by 5.2%.

Operating costs and expenses

Operating costs increased by 7.2% year over year to RMB323.8 million (US$44.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared with RMB302.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, which was primarily driven by (i) an increase of RMB39.1 million in costs of referral and service fees, partially offset by (ii) a decrease of RMB3.6 million in personnel costs. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, operating costs decreased by 4.9% from RMB340.6 million, primarily due to (i) a decrease of RMB13.2 million in costs of referral and service fees, partially offset by (ii) an increase of RMB5.7 million in personnel costs.

 

   

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 4.1% year over year to RMB182.0 million (US$24.9 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared with RMB174.8 million for the same quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of RMB30.2 million in marketing expenses for third-party traffic channels, and partially offset by (ii) a decrease of RMB22.8 million in personnel costs and share-based compensation expenses. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, sales and marketing expenses increased by 5.1% from RMB173.2 million, primarily due to (i) an increase of RMB11.9 million in marketing expenses to third-party traffic channels, (ii) an increase of RMB2.5 million in sales and marketing personnel costs and share-based compensation expenses, and partially offset by (iii) a decrease of RMB5.7 million in outsourced sales and marketing service fees to third parties.

 

   

General and administrative expenses decreased by 23.2% year over year to RMB73.7 million (US$10.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with RMB96.0 million for the same quarter of 2023. The year-over-year variance was due to (i) a decrease of RMB22.3 million in allowance for credit losses, (ii) a decrease of RMB2.7 million in professional service fees, partially offset by (iii) an increase of RMB5.7 million in personnel costs and share-based compensation expenses. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, general and administrative expenses decreased by 33.6% from RMB111.0 million, due to (i) a non-cash impairment of intangible assets related to Shenlanbao of RMB20.6 million recorded in the third quarter of 2024, with no corresponding item in the fourth quarter, (ii) a decrease of RMB13.7 million allowance for credit losses, and (iii) a decrease of RMB5.4 million in personnel costs and share-based compensation expenses.

Operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2024 was RMB53.0 million (US$7.3 million), as compared with RMB26.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and RMB26.5 million for the third quarter of 2024.

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 RMB7.2993 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on December 31, 2024 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, foreign currency exchange gain or losses, impact of terminating the mutual aid plan, impairment of intangible assets acquired from business combination and related tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments.

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.

(i)

Corrections were made to certain line items of the comparative figures for the three months ended September 30, 2024, because of an omitted attribution to non-controlling interests, resulted in a reclassification impact amounting to RMB6,168. Accordingly, net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and net gain (loss) attributable to mezzanine equity classified as non-controlling interests shareholders previously reported at RMB92,805 and RMB2,350 are restated to RMB98,973 and RMB(3,818), respectively. The reclassification does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements nor Non-GAAP results.
