Cheche Group Reports First Half 2026 Unaudited Financial Results

BEIJING– September 4, 2026 – Cheche Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CCG) (“Cheche”, “the Company” or “we”), China’s leading auto insurance technology platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Key Business Highlights

Management Comments

“In the first half of 2026, Cheche made meaningful progress in reshaping our business for the next phase of growth,” said Lei Zhang, Founder, CEO and Chairman of Cheche. “We made deliberate choices to shift away from lower-margin, less strategic revenue streams and concentrate our resources on the business and capabilities where we believe we can create greater long-term value through technology, data and differentiated solutions. As a result, while net revenues declined 34.4% to RMB885.0 million, gross margin expanded by 160 basis points, reflecting a fundamentally stronger revenue mix.

“This transformation is now visibly expressed in our recent launch of the ABAO Agent Family – a suite of five specialized AI agents, built on Cheche’s proprietary vertical insurance large language model that spans the full NEV insurance lifecycle from dynamic pricing to claims processing. Together with our Cheche Score and proprietary NEV intelligent pricing model, ABAO marks our strategic evolution from a digital insurance transaction platform into an AI-driven insurance infrastructure provider. These capabilities are deepening our relationships with insurance carrier partners, improving the economics of our core operations and expanding the ways in which our technology can be applied.

“Transformation requires discipline, and we remain focused on streamlining operations, strengthening our foundation and directing resources toward our highest-value opportunities. We are also exploring ways to broaden our platform and enhance the scale and resilience of our operations as we enter the next phase of our evolution. Our objective is to build a more diversified enterprise with the flexibility to pursue compelling opportunities while maintaining disciplined execution and a clear focus on shareholder value.”

Unaudited First Half Year 2026 Financial Results

Net Revenues were RMB885.0 million (US$130.4 million), representing a 34.4% year-over-year decrease from the prior-year period as a result of the restructuring of our business portfolio.

Cost of Revenues decreased 35.5% year-over-year to RMB827.6 million (US$122.0 million) from the prior-year period due to a decline in net revenues and higher gross margin driven by the restructuring of our business portfolio.

Gross profit decreased 12.6% to RMB57.5 million (US$8.5 million) compared to the prior-year period due to the decrease of net revenues, partially offset by the improved business structure which led to a higher gross margin.

Selling and Marketing Expenses decreased 4.3% to RMB35.6 million (US$5.3 million) from RMB37.3 million in the prior-year period, mainly due to the decrease in staff cost and share-based compensation expenses. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, selling and marketing expenses were RMB34.5 million (US$5.1 million), a decrease of 2.5% compared to the prior-year period.

General and Administrative Expenses increased 55.4% to RMB57.9 million (US$8.5 million) from RMB37.3 million for the prior-year period due to the recognition of RMB35.1 million (US$5.2 million) specific allowance of credit losses for long-aged and high-risk receivables, partially offset by the decrease in share-based compensation expenses and professional service fees. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses increased 112.7% year over year, from RMB26.6 million to RMB56.5 million (US$8.3 million).

Research and Development Expenses decreased 21.0% to RMB14.5 million (US$2.1 million) from RMB18.3 million in the prior-year period, mainly due to the decrease in staff costs and professional service fees. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, research and development expenses decreased 21.0% to RMB14.1 million (US$2.1 million) from RMB17.8 million in the prior-year period.

Total Operating Expenses increased 16.4% to RMB108.0 million (US$15.9 million) from RMB92.8 million in the prior-year period, mainly due to the recognition of specific allowance of credit losses for long-aged and high-risk receivables, partially offset by the decrease in staff cost, share-based compensation expenses and professional service fees. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, total operating expenses increased 31.8% to RMB105.1 million (US$15.5 million) from RMB79.8 million in the prior-year period.

Net Loss increased 72.3% to RMB44.1 million (US$6.5 million) from RMB25.6 million in the prior-year period. Excluding non-GAAP expenses, the Adjusted Net Loss increased 257.7% to RMB37.7 million (US$5.6 million) from RMB10.5 million in the prior-year period.

Net Loss Per Share, basic and diluted, was RMB18.57 (US$2.74), increasing RMB7.68 from a loss of RMB10.89 for the prior-year period.

Adjusted Net Loss Per Share, basic and diluted, was RMB15.89 (US$2.34), increasing RMB11.4 from a loss of RMB4.49 for the prior-year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cheche has provided non-GAAP financial measures in this press release that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States.

Cheche uses adjusted selling and marketing expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted total operating expenses, adjusted net loss, and adjusted net loss per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

Cheche defines adjusted total operating expenses as total operating expenses adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation. Cheche defines adjusted net loss as net loss adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and changes in fair value of amounts due to a related party related to the acquisition of Cheche Insurance Sales & Services Co., Ltd. (previously named Fanhua Times Sales and Service Co., Ltd), and change in fair value of warrants. Adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, is calculated as adjusted net loss divided by weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding.

Cheche believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisition, and change in fair value of amounts due to a related party related to the acquisition of Cheche Insurance Sales & Services Co., Ltd. (previously named Fanhua Times Sales and Service Co., Ltd),and change in fair value of warrants. Cheche believes that such non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of Cheche’s operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. Cheche encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Cheche mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance.
