Yuanbao Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2026 Unaudited Financial Results

BEIJING, Sept. 10, 2026 (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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

• Total revenues in the second quarter of 2026 were RMB1,392.2 million (US$205.2 million), representing a 30.1% increase from RMB1,069.9 million in the same period of 2025.
• Net income in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB413.2 million (US$60.9 million), representing a 35.6% year-over-year increase from RMB304.7 million in the same period of 2025.
• Net income margin in the second quarter of 2026 was 29.7%, compared with 28.5% in the same period of 2025.
• Net operating cash inflow in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB419.1 million (US$61.8 million).

Recent Developments

• The Company continued to advance the application of multimodal AI technology across insurance business scenarios, building multimodal understanding and analysis capabilities tailored to the insurance industry. To address the large volumes of unstructured information inherent in insurance operations, including images, documents, videos and text, the Company leveraged its multimodal models and proprietary knowledge systems to enhance AI’s ability to recognize, understand and analyze complex business content, converting unstructured data into analyzable, usable data assets.
• In insurance claims assistance service scenarios, the Company applied multimodal models to intelligently parse various types of materials, including medical records, diagnostic certificates, medical invoices and examination reports, enabling document recognition, information extraction, fact consolidation and review assistance. By cross-referencing key information across materials from different sources, the system can generate structured claims event files. Combined with the Company’s insurance knowledge base, this supports liability analysis and user service, improving insurance carriers’ claims processing efficiency, review consistency and user experience. These capabilities have already been deployed in medical insurance claims assistance scenarios, achieving document classification accuracy of 95% and average accuracy of approximately 94% in key field extraction. Compared to the previous vendor solution, this represents an upgrade in both processing efficiency and accuracy.
• In user growth scenarios, the Company applied multimodal models to intelligently understand and analyze business content, comprehensively identifying product information, expression characteristics and user feedback across images, videos and text. Combined with business performance data, these capabilities support content analysis and strategy optimization, improving user outreach efficiency and business operations.
• At the same time, the Company continued to build its insurance-domain knowledge base, structuring core content covering product terms, medical knowledge, service workflows, claims rules and historical cases into a professional knowledge foundation that underpins its AI applications. By combining the knowledge base with multimodal models and Agent technology, the Company further enhanced the accuracy, interpretability and business adaptability of AI in complex insurance scenarios, driving the evolution of insurance services from a traditional manual-processing model toward an AI-assisted, human-machine collaborative model.

Mr. Rui Fang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yuanbao, commented, “In the second quarter of 2026, we maintained steady growth across our business, with revenue scale and profitability improving in tandem. We also continued to strengthen our AI and big data capabilities. As of the end of the second quarter, our AI team continued to account for more than 10% of our total workforce. Our model matrix had grown to more than 5,100 models, which are capable of analyzing over 5,900 labels, covering the full range of scenarios from needs identification and product recommendation to claims assistance, and improving both service efficiency and user experience.

“Against this backdrop of an accelerating multi-tiered healthcare security system and continuously evolving user needs, we continued to deepen our collaboration with insurance carriers this quarter and accelerate the iteration of our health insurance offerings. We remain committed to our strategy of affordable pricing, comprehensive coverage, and quality service. By lowering the barriers to obtaining coverage, broadening coverage benefits, and improving the service experience, we are further enhancing both quality and reach of inclusive medical protection.

“On the product side, the Super Medical Insurance series of medical insurance products received a major upgrade in June 2026. Even as we substantially upgraded coverage, we stayed true to our principle of affordable pricing, improving quality without raising prices. This year, Yuanbao has also been actively exploring new approaches to protection for individuals with pre-existing conditions, in line with national policy encouraging insurance for this population. In May, we worked with insurance carriers to launch Complete Guardian · Million-RMB Medical Insurance, which requires no health disclosure and covers general pre-existing conditions within its scope of liability, directly addressing the real protection pain points of over 400 million people in China living with pre-existing conditions. On the critical illness front, Yuanbao also worked with insurance carriers this year to launch a no-health-disclosure version of Guardian Insurance · Critical Illness Insurance, further broadening access to critical illness protection for people with such coverage needs.

“Looking ahead, as the 15th Five-Year Plan continues to advance, the multi-tiered healthcare security system continues to improve, and artificial intelligence rapidly empowers industries across the economy, the insurance industry is entering a new stage where technological innovation and rising protection needs converge. Yuanbao will continue to strengthen its AI technology foundation, advancing the adoption of AI Agents, multimodal models, and other technologies across the end-to-end insurance process, and upgrading core capabilities including user insights, product recommendations, user consulting, and claims assistance service. We will also continue to refine our inclusive product matrix, including Super Medical Insurance and Complete Guardian, upholding our commitment to providing accessible, affordable insurance services with high claims satisfaction.

“Drawing on our solid operating performance, technology accumulation, and deep understanding of user needs, Yuanbao will seize the opportunities presented by the insurance industry’s high-quality development, support innovation in commercial health insurance and the development of a multi-tiered healthcare security system, and create long-term, sustainable value for our consumers, partners, and shareholders.”

Mr. Ray Wan, Chief Financial Officer of Yuanbao, added, “We delivered a solid second quarter, marked by ongoing growth across our core business and continued deepening of AI integration across our operations. Total revenues for the quarter reached RMB1,392.2 million, a 30.1% increase year over year. Net income grew 35.6% year over year to RMB413.2 million, with net income margin at 29.7%. Our cash position continued to strengthen, providing us with ample flexibility to continue investing in our strategic priorities. In addition, we continued to execute our share repurchase program, as part of our long-term commitment to delivering consistent returns to our shareholders. These results reflect the resilience of our business model. As we progress through the remainder of the year, we will remain focused on high-quality growth, continued efficiency gains, and deepening our AI capabilities to create long-term value for our shareholders.”
