Other BusinessesSince the fourth quarter of 2020,our other businesses segment has been transitioning to "Noah Digital Intelligence",aiming to develop a "turnkey asset management platform" ("TAMP"),to create an additional distribution channel beyond our wealth management,as well as to provide more comprehensive services and investment products.Ms. Jingbo Wang,co-founder and CEO of Noah,said,"In the first quarter of 2021,I am proud to report that our active clients number,including mutual funds,grew 65.4% year-on-year to record a historical high of almost 28,000,which enabled our net revenues to reach RMB1.2 billion,the highest single quarter in our history,a 64.1% increase year-on-year,consists of the strong growth in all revenue streams including one-time commissions,recurring service fees and performance-based income. As a result,non-GAAP net income was RMB461.9 million,also a historical high. Out of the total transaction value of RMB27.1 billion,public securities accounted for RMB21.5 billion,another record high since our listing,showcasing our continued success since the transformation for standardized products and services. In addition,there was only 0.3% turnover rate of our elite relationship managers during the quarter,evidencing the stability of our sales force after the transformation. We will stay client-centric while continuing to invest in human capital development and IT infrastructure to improve our client experience,as well as stay focused on major economic regions in the country where high net worth clients are concentrated."
FIRST QUARTER 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTSNet RevenuesNet revenuesfor the first quarter of 2021 were RMB1,primarily driven by increased one-time commissions and performance-based income,partially offset by the decrease in other service fees.
Wealth Management Business- Net revenues from one-time commissions for the first quarter of 2021 were RMB293.2 million (US$44.8 million),a 39.2% increase from the corresponding period in 2020,primarily due to a 23.4% increase in transaction value of secondary market equity investment products that we distributed.
- Net revenues from recurring service fees for the first quarter of 2021 were RMB313.7 million (US$47.9 million),an 8.5% increase from the corresponding period in 2020.

- Net revenues from other service fees for the first quarter of 2021 were RMB13.9 million (US$2.1 million),compared with RMB37.6 million in the corresponding period in 2020,primarily due to less value-added services we offered to our high net worth clients.

Other Businesses- Net revenues for the first quarter of 2021 were RMB8.3 million (US$1.3 million),a 70.4% decrease from the corresponding period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to continuous reducing volume of loan origination since the second half year of 2019.

The premises will primarily be used as our global headquarters to meet the demand arising from the continuing growth of the Company's businesses and branding image.The Company plans to finance the transaction by cash from our balance sheet. The consideration will be made in installments according to the condition precedents set up by Transaction Agreements. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Transaction Agreements.Ms. Jingbo Wang,commented," After fifteen years of operations,Noah is very glad to purchase this commercial property,consisting of four high-end,well-designed office buildings located at the center of the Hongqiao comprehensive transportation hub in Shanghai,one of the nation's busiest transportation hubs,to be our new global headquarters. I believe this space will also serve as an upgraded client interface for Noah and robust activity center connecting clients in Eastern China to us,enhancing their overall client experience and improving our corporate image."[1]Noah's Non-GAAP financial measures are its corresponding GAAP financial measures excluding the effects of all forms of share-based compensation,non-recurring settlement expenses and net of relevant tax impact,if any.See "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release.[2] "Active clients" for a given period refers to registered high net worth clients who purchase investment products distributed or provided by Noah during that given period,excluding clients who transacted only on our online mutual fund platform.[3]Since the fourth quarter of 2020,we distributed all private equity products directly from our asset management business,but for consistency purposes,we included those transaction values herein.[4] The asset distribution/redemption of public securities also includes market appreciation or depreciation.[5] Since this quarter,we reclassified all remaining mezzanine financing products linked to corporate merger and acquisitions and buy outs from credit to private equity in the amount of RMB4.7 billion,considering its nature is more akin to equity than credit.
