its coverage across mainland China. |
| · | Aggregate number of overseas relationship managers was 113 as of
June 30, 2024, a 24.2% increase from March 31, 2024. Since the Company’s relationship managers in mainland China are divided
into different teams, each focusing on an independent business unit dedicated to offering clients mutual fund and private
secondary products, insurance products, or private equity products, the Company no longer considers it meaningful to
disclose an aggregate number of relationship managers in mainland China. |

Other Businesses
Noah's other businesses mainly include providing clients with additional
comprehensive services and investment products. Operating results for other businesses also include headquarter rental income, depreciation
and amortization, as well as operating expenses.
Ms. Jingbo Wang, co-founder and chairwoman of Noah, commented,
“The pace of our overseas expansion is gaining momentum as client demand for global asset allocation strengthens, with overseas
revenue contribution increasing to 46.3% in the first half of 2024. While sluggish domestic markets continued to impact our business during
the quarter, our investments in expanding our global product portfolio and distribution networks are starting to yield results, with overseas
assets under management increasing 14.3% year-over-year. We have also raised US$338 million for overseas private equity, private credit,
and other primary market funds year-to-date, a significant 40.2% year-over-year increase. Additionally, our team of overseas relationship
managers directly supporting this expansion grew 101.8% year-over-year and 24.2% sequentially. While we are still in the relatively early
stages of our overseas expansion, these results reflect the direction we are headed in going forward.”
4
The asset allocation/redemption of overseas investment products includes the fluctuation result of foreign currencies exchange rate.
5 The asset allocation/redemption of public securities
also includes market appreciation or depreciation.
“Domestically, we are focused on stabilizing operations by streamlining
our branch network to reduce overhead costs and adjusting our client service model to comply with evolving regulatory requirements by
separating relationship and business development managers into different independent business units. While these initiatives may temporarily
impact business activity over the next few quarters, they will ensure our ability to effectively and compliantly serve clients with a
comprehensive portfolio of products in the long term.”
“In the interim, we are rewarding
shareholders with enhanced capital returns for their long-term support with a US$50 million share repurchase program. This share
repurchase program, along with the full year 2023 final and special dividend payout we just completed earlier this month, reflects our unwavering
commitment to prioritizing shareholder interests and delivering sustained returns. While China’s wealth management industry is navigating
a challenging period and undergoing a transition, we remain confident in our unique advantages stemming from our deep understanding of
Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth individuals’ (HNWI) needs and our ability to deliver products and services to this still-growing
client base. We are one of a few independent firms that maintains access, through years of investor education, to a large group of qualified
individual investors who continue to seek professional services. As such, we believe that our stock is deeply undervalued and does not
reflect our growth prospects, robust balance sheet and cash reserves, or the special bond we have formed with Mandarin-speaking HNWIs
globally. We value both our long-term and new shareholders and are committed to sharing our success with them through more proactive capital
allocation policies moving forward.”

Net cash outflow from the Company’s investing activities during
the second quarter of 2024 was RMB548.2 million (US$75.4 million), mainly due to cash used for short-term investments.
Net cash outflow from the Company’s financing activities was
RMB44.6 million (US$6.1 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to net cash inflow of RMB87.0 million in the corresponding period
in 2023.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
As announced earlier today, as
part of its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns, the board of directors of the Company (“the Board”) authorized a
share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$50 million of its American depositary shares or ordinary shares,
effective immediately. The authorized term for carrying out this share repurchase program is two years.
The Company announced in November 2023 that a new capital management
and shareholder return policy (the “Policy”) had been adopted, pursuant to which up to 50% the Company's non-GAAP net income
attributable to shareholders of the preceding financial year will be allocated to a Corporate Actions Budget which will serve various
purposes, including dividend distribution and share repurchases. The share repurchase program announced today does not form a part of
the Corporate Actions Budget under the Policy. The Corporate Actions Budget based on the Company’s financial performance in 2024
is expected to be determined and announced alongside the Company’s earnings results for the fourth quarter and full year ending
on December 31, 2024.
The share repurchases under the repurchase program announced today
will be carried out from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades
or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and will be implemented in accordance with applicable rules and
regulations. The Board will review the share repurchase program periodically and may authorize adjustments of its terms and size. The
Company expects to fund repurchases made under this program from its existing cash balance and cash generated from operations.

DISCUSSION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures excluding the effects of all forms of share-based
compensation, non-cash settlement expenses and net of tax impact, if any. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results”
at the end of this press release.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not
be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance
with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the
Company may be prepared differently from and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
When evaluating the Company’s operating performance in the periods
presented, management reviewed the foregoing non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders and per diluted ADS and non-GAAP net
margin attributable to Noah shareholders to supplement U.S. GAAP financial data. As such, the Company’s management believes that
the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business
trends relating to its results of operations in a manner consistent with that used by management.

Noah Holdings Announces
US$50 Million Share Repurchase Program
SHANGHAI, August 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Noah Holdings Limited ("Noah" or the "Company") (NYSE: NOAH and HKEX: 6686), a leading and pioneer
wealth management service provider offering comprehensive one-stop advisory services on global investment and asset allocation primarily
for Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth investors, today announced that as part of its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns, the board
of directors of the Company (the “Board”) authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up
to US$50 million of its American depositary shares or ordinary shares, effective immediately. The authorized term for carrying
out this share repurchase program is two years.
The Company announced in November 2023 that
a new capital management and shareholder return policy (the “Policy”) had been adopted, pursuant to which up to 50% the Company's
non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders of the preceding financial year will be allocated to a Corporate Actions Budget which
will serve various purposes, including dividend distribution and share repurchases. The share repurchase program announced today does
not form a part of the Corporate Actions Budget under the Policy. The Corporate Actions Budget based on the Company’s financial
performance in 2024 is expected to be determined and announced alongside the Company’s earnings results for the fourth quarter and
full year ending on December 31, 2024.
The share repurchases under the repurchase program
announced today will be carried out from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions,
in block trades or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and will be implemented in accordance with
applicable rules and regulations. The Board will review the share repurchase program periodically and may authorize adjustments of
its terms and size. The Company expects to fund repurchases made under this program from its existing cash balance and cash generated
from operations.
Ms. Jingbo
Wang, co-founder and chairwoman of Noah, commented, “This share repurchase program, along with the dividend payout we just completed,
reflects our unwavering commitment to prioritizing shareholder interests and delivering sustained returns. While China’s
wealth management industry is navigating a challenging period and undergoing a transition, we remain confident in Noah’s unique
advantages stemming from our deep understanding of Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth individuals’ (HNWIs) needs and our ability to
deliver products and services to this still-growing client base. We are one of a few independent firms that maintains access, through
years of investor education, to a large group of qualified individual investors who continue to seek professional services.”
“As such,
we believe that our stock is deeply undervalued and does not reflect our growth prospects, robust balance sheet and cash reserves,
or the special bond we have formed with the Mandarin-speaking HNWIs globally. We value both our long-term and new shareholders and are
committed to sharing our success with them through more proactive capital allocation policies moving forward.”
Full Year 2023 Dividend Payout
In late July and early August 2024,
Noah rewarded shareholders with a record RMB1,018 million (approximately US$140.1 million) dividend payout for full year
2023, equivalent to 100% of its annual non-GAAP net income, including the final dividend under the Policy and a special dividend.
Capital Management and Shareholder Return Policy
In November 2023, the Board adopted the Policy
where up to 50% of the Company's non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders of the preceding financial year will be allocated to
a Corporate Actions Budget which will serve various purposes, including dividend distribution and share repurchases.
Under the Policy, no less than 35% of the Company's
non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders of the preceding financial year will be allocated toward dividends to be distributed
in each calendar year, subject to various factors.
The Corporate Actions Budget based on the Company’s
financial performance in 2024 is expected to be determined and announced alongside the Company’s earnings results for the fourth
quarter and full year ending on December 31, 2024.
