"CNinsure reported another solid quarter and once again beat our previous guidance, with total net revenues and net income attributable to CNinsure's shareholders growing 28.1% and 40.2% year-over-year, respectively," commenting on the financial results, Mr. Yinan Hu, chairman and chief executive officer of CNinsure, stated. "We are thrilled to see that the strong growth momentum in our life insurance business continued into the second quarter, with life insurance growing over 138% year-over-year and accounting for 36.1% of our total net revenues, driven by the increases in first year commission rate, accumulation of renewal commissions and performance bonus. Meanwhile, the profitability and bargaining power of our P&C business was greatly enhanced by our initiatives to promote bundled sales, establish strategic partnership and co-develop customized products with more insurers and strengthen our insurance brokerage business to refine the mix of our P&C business which we believe will help improve our earnings stability in the long run."
Mr. Hu continued, "While continuing to grow our existing three businesses, we are gearing up to build groundwork for long-term growth by adding new profit centers. As of date, we have extended our service offerings to consumer credit brokerage business, established an insurance brokerage business unit to facilitate our expansion from retail to corporate insurance brokerage business, and recently acquired an e-commerce insurance service company in an effort to build a tri-dimensional distribution channel by combining the e-commerce platform with our existing nationwide distribution and service network. To fund the establishment of the new profit centers, CNinsure completed a follow-on public offering in July. Although the offering may lead to a dilution to our EPS in the short term, the management expects the Company will still be able to achieve the target of over 30% EPS growth for 2010."
"In the past decade, CNinsure has kept a successful track record of expanding into new areas and diversifying product offerings to fuel the Company's growth. We believe that the vision and strong execution of the management will make our aforementioned new initiatives another success. CNinsure, with its early-mover advantage, will continue to lead the insurance intermediary market in the years to come," Mr. Hu concluded.
