Ms. Wang Dian, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Hywin Holdings Ltd., commented, “In this quarter, we maintained robust growth in our client numbers and business volumes. This powered year-over-year increases of 22.5%, 46.5% and 97.6% in our wealth management product transaction value, net revenues, and net income, respectively. These achievements attest to our effectiveness in monetizing client relationships through segmented propositions and continued discovery of client needs, whilst unlocking efficiency gains through our technology and our transition into a nimble organization. Our relationship managers continued to increase their productivity, with net revenues per relationship manager increasing by 58.3% from the same period of 2020. This was accomplished by our investment in training, systematic cross-selling, and a gradual move from cash-based to equity-based incentives, which encourages an entrepreneurial pursuit of long-term success.”

 

Mr. Zhou Huichuan, Chief Financial Officer of Hywin Holdings Ltd., stated, “During this quarter, our strong net income growth was reinforced by our disciplined cost control. We also continued to execute our IBM-assisted digital transformation program, which further improved our operating efficiency. Looking forward, we will continue to leverage technology to optimize our cost structure and further improve our client services to augment sustained growth.”
