SHANGHAI, May 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Jupai Holdings Limited ("Jupai" or the "Company") (NYSE: JP), a leading third-party wealth management service provider, focusing on distributing wealth management products and providing quality product advisory services to high-net-worth individuals in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Effective July 1, 2016, Jupai changed its reporting currency from the U.S. dollars to Renminbi. The aligning of the reporting currency with the underlying operations better reflects the Company's results of operations for each period, and reduces the impact that the increased volatility of the Renminbi to U.S. dollars exchange rate will have on the Company's reported operating results. In this announcement, the unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, are stated in Renminbi. This release contains translations of certain Renminbi amounts into U.S. dollars for convenience. Prior period financial results have been recast into the new reporting currency.

| [4] "Assets under management" by Jupai refers to the amount of capital contributions made by the investors to the fund without adjustment for any gain or loss from investment. |
"We delivered a set of solid results for the first quarter of 2017, with continued rapid growth on both our top and bottom lines," said Mr. Jianda Ni, Jupai's co-chairman of the board and chief executive officer. "Our net revenues for the quarter reached another record high of RMB368.7 million, up 64.6% year-on-year, and our net income attributable to ordinary shareholders rose by an impressive 242.3% year-on-year to RMB90.7 million."
Mr. Ni continued, "Our in-depth industry knowledge and big data analytics capabilities through our relationships with E-House, a leading real estate service company, and CRIC, a top real estate information database, enable us to identify quality underlying assets and offer fixed-income products with attractive risk-return profiles, a crucial advantage as investors in China have become more conservative over the past quarters. In the first quarter of 2017, we increased the aggregate value of products distributed by us to RMB14.2 billion, a 31.1% increase year-on-year. Additionally, our total assets under management increased to RMB43.1 billion as of March 31, 2017, a 101.0% increase year-on-year."
Mr. Tianxiang Hu, Jupai's co-chairman of the board, said, "Looking forward, as we further strengthen our core competence within the fixed income product category, we will look to further expand our product range in order to better meet investors' asset allocation needs. While we have adopted a prudent approach towards overseas expansion, we will continue to look for appropriate opportunities to build our business outside of China."
Ms. Min Liu, Jupai's chief financial officer, said, "We continued to perform strongly in the first quarter of 2017, with our net revenues substantially surpassing management guidance. Our operating margin for the quarter rose to 34%, up from 14% in the same period last year, as we implemented effective cost control measures. We remain confident about the outlook for our bottom line, as we further enhance our operating efficiency, optimize revenue structure, and expand our business scale."

DISCUSSION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of all forms of share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisition. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest GAAP measures as set forth in the table captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results" below.
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 measure 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 non-GAAP net income results reflecting adjustments to exclude the impacts of share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisition to supplement U.S. GAAP financial data. As such, the Company believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shares per diluted ADS and non-GAAP net margin attributable to ordinary shareholders provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations in a manner consistent with that used by management. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, the Company recognized significant amounts of expenses for the restricted shares and share options, and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisition in the periods presented. The Company utilized the non-GAAP financial results to make financial results comparable period to period and to better understand its historical business operations.
