decreases in performance-based income generated from RMB private equity
products and private secondary products and recurring service fees
generated from RMB private equity products.

million (US$41.9 million), compared with RMB306.7 million for the

Income from operations grew by 53.1% year-on-year and 35.2% quarter-on-quarter, while non-GAAP net profit rose by 27.4% quarter-on-quarter.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to advancing our strategy, driving sustainable growth, and delivering reasonable shareholders returns."

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.
