In the fourth quarter of 2022, we continued to see challenges in the domestic economy brought by the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, net revenues grew 28.9% quarter-on-quarter, supported by a 169.4% increase in one-time commissions and 191.1% increase in performance based income quarter-on-quarter. Despite a challenging capital markets environment, non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders for the full year was RMB1.0 billion, in-line with our annual guidance. Furthermore, The Board has approved an annual dividend of approximately RMB176.5 million (US$25.6 million) in total, which is equivalent to around 17.5% of our unaudited annual non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders. The annual dividend payment plan will be reviewed during and announced after the Annual General Meeting, which is expected to be held in June 2023."

Net cash inflow from the Company's financing activities was RMB8.0 million (US$1.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to net cash inflow of RMB20.9 million in the corresponding period in 2021. Net cash inflow from the Company's financing activities during the full year 2022 was RMB233.8 million (US$33.9 million), compared to net cash outflow of RMB513.1 million during the full year 2021. The cash inflow for 2022 was mainly due to net proceeds from our initial public offering and listing in Hong Kong, and the cash outflow in 2021 was mainly due to the share repurchase program.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT

Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") Receivership

As disclosed in the Form 6-K furnished with the SEC on March 13, 2023 (the "Press Release"), Noah informed its investors that its exposure to any liquidity concern as a result of the SVB's Receivership (as defined in the Press Release) is immaterial and that it has taken necessary measures to protect against or minimize the potential impact of the SVB's Receivership on the investment funds for which Noah acts as general partner or fund manager.

As of the date of this press release, Noah has transferred out all its cash and cash equivalents previously deposited with SVB. In addition, as general partner or fund manager, Noah has also transferred out all funds cash balances from SVB to their designated accounts. As a result, Noah has no remaining exposure to the SVB Receivership.

Resignation of Senior Management Member

Mr. Jin Chen resigned from his position as the chief executive officer of Noah Digital International, effective on March 15, 2023, due to personal reasons. Mr. Chen will assist the Company in achieving a smooth transition of his job responsibilities. His resignation was not a result of any disagreements with the Company.

DISCUSSION ON NON-GAAP MEASURES       

In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures excluding the effects of all forms of share-based compensation, non-cash settlement expense and net of tax impact, if any. See "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be prepared differently from and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

When evaluating the Company's operating performance in the periods presented, management reviewed the foregoing non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders and per diluted ADS and non-GAAP net margin attributable to Noah shareholders to supplement U.S. GAAP financial data. As such, the Company's management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its results of operations in a manner consistent with that used by management.
