BEIJING, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On September 8, Waterdrop Inc. (NYSE: WDH)
released its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
In Q2 2026, the company’s operating revenue reached RMB1,448.2 million, up 72.8%
year-over-year; net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB125.8 million,
marking 18 consecutive quarters of profitability. As of August 31, 2026, the company
had cumulatively repurchased approximately 62.9 million ADSs (American Depositary
Shares) from the open market.

With solid performance in Q2, the company achieved rapid revenue growth. Going forward,
Waterdrop will continue to increase investment in AI technology innovation, making
healthcare and financial services more accessible to the public.

**Insurance Business Grows Steadily, AI Penetration Continues to Rise**

This quarter, the insurance business maintained strong growth, with insurance-related
revenue up 80.5% year-over-year. Meanwhile, profitability continued to improve, 
with insurance business operating profit reaching RMB183.6 million, up 20% quarter-
over-quarter. Waterdrop is comprehensively accelerating the application of AI technology
across the entire insurance value chain. Premiums facilitated by ‘AI Medical Insurance
Expert’ rose by 25.6% quarter-over-quarter. First-year premiums for long-term insurance
grew 33.4% quarter-over-quarter.

In terms of product innovation, leveraging its massive claims data and user profile
analytics, Waterdrop has broken the traditional static logic of blanket rejection
for people with chronic diseases, removing barriers to coverage for users with pre-
existing conditions one by one. This quarter, Waterdrop launched ‘Rongyibao,’ the
market’s first long-term critical illness insurance product that requires no health
disclosure and offers five-year guaranteed renewability, covering more than 100 
critical illnesses with optional riders for accidental death and disability benefits.
At the same time, the company expanded ‘Jixing Gaozhao’ series with the market’s
first lifetime specified disease insurance product requiring no health disclosure.

**Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding: 499 Million Users Have Donated RMB74.7 Billion
to 3.82 Million Patients**

This quarter, Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding continued to fulfill its role in providing
emergency relief. Since its launch in 2016, approximately 499 million donors have
cumulatively contributed RMB74.7 billion to 3.82 million patients with critical 
illnesses through Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding.

Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding has always practiced the philosophy of "tech for 
good," building a dual safeguard system for case authenticity verification and transparent
fund flow through AI technology. This quarter, Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding introduced
AI in risk management: relying on the semantic parsing capabilities of large models
combined with strategic analysis, it built an intelligent identification matrix 
for multiple high-risk scenarios, precisely detecting dimensions such as fundraiser
sensitive-identity recognition and abnormal assets. This has significantly improved
the accuracy and efficiency of platform risk identification, ensuring the authenticity
and reliability of fundraising cases.

In addition, Waterdrop Medical Crowdfunding has launched AI fundraising assistants
in 548 cities nationwide. Leveraging intelligent, round-the-clock service, the assistants
provide professional support to fundraising users across the country — especially
those in remote areas and those unfamiliar with internet operations. Services cover
end-to-end fundraising Q&A, basic critical-illness health education, and efficient
fundraising guidance, making critical illness relief more precise and convenient
and filling gaps left by human service coverage.

**E-Find Platform: Q2 Revenue RMB35.2 Million, Partners with 255 Pharma Companies
and CROs**

Waterdrop’s digital clinical trial solutions business grew steadily, with E-Find
Platform’s net revenue reaching RMB35.2 million, up 26.8% year-over-year. This quarter,
E-Find Platform established partnerships with 255 well-known domestic and overseas
pharma companies and CROs. As of June 30, 2026, it had cumulatively delivered 1,873
clinical trial projects with 17,052 enrolled patients.

In terms of social responsibility, in response to severe rainstorms and floods across
multiple areas of Guangxi and debris-flow disasters at the Jilong Port in Jilong
County, Shigatse, Tibet, Waterdrop urgently established a disaster relief emergency
response team and quickly launched rescue operations. Waterdrop Charity immediately
launched a "Relief" special section on its homepage and, in collaboration with multiple
foundations, rushed aid to affected areas — delivering over 2,000 relief supply 
packages to the Guangxi disaster zone and doing its utmost to help affected communities
through the crisis.

Shen Peng, Founder and CEO of Waterdrop Inc., said: "Waterdrop has always regarded
technology as our core driver. With AI embedded across our platforms, we are well
positioned to capture the growing demand in our existing businesses. In the future,
we remain committed to delivering greater value for our shareholders in the years
to come."
