Total operating expenses were reduced by 50.5% to RMB101.4 million (US$14.2 million) from RMB204.7 million in the first half of 2024, as the company implemented workforce restructuring to enhance operational efficiency. Employee compensation and benefits decreased by 39.2% to RMB52.9 million (US$7.4 million) from RMB86.9 million in the same period of 2024. CNFinance also reported a decline in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, which was RMB0.8 billion (US$0.1 billion) as of June 30, 2025, compared with RMB1.2 billion as of December 31, 2024.
