(Nasdaq:CISG) (the "Company" or "CNinsure"), a leading independent online-to-offline financial services provider operating in China, in light of the recent volatility of its stock price, today announced that it is not aware of any material non-public information that would account for such unusual trading activity. The Company reiterated that it maintains normal business operations and the fundamentals of it business have not changed.
"As reflected in our first quarter 2015 financial results, our existing businesses are maintaining solid growth. As we continue to execute our O2O strategic plans and strive for even stronger growth, we remain optimistic about achieving 30% top line growth in the second quarter this year and expect growth to accelerate in the second half of this year, leading to a 30% full year growth in net revenues. On the profit front, we expect non-GAAP operating income (which excludes online spending) for 2015 to increase by over 20% year-over-year. We believe our business is as well-positioned as it has ever been, and our continued investment in O2O initiatives reflects our confidence in the strategic progress that we continue to make to capture the emerging opportunities provided by the internet," commented Chunlin Wang, Chief Executive Officer of CNinsure.
