BEIJING, July 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TIAN RUIXIANG Holdings Ltd (Nasdaq: TIRX) (the “Company”), a China-based insurance broker conducting business through its variable interest entity in China, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023.
Ms. Sheng Xu, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Company generated revenue of about $1.2 million, representing an 8.0% decrease compared to the prior year’s revenue. This decline was primarily attributable to the lower commissions from several insurance products and loss of certain insurance company partners amid an increasingly competitive market and challenging macroeconomic environment in China.”
“However, we achieved a significant increase of approximately $612,000 in the commissions from our liability insurance products, driven by our efforts to expand our liability insurance business.”
“Despite the revenue decline, we were able to reduce the net loss by 47.6% to $2.5 million, down from $4.7 million in the prior year. Overall, while we faced headwinds in certain insurance products, we were able to drive substantial growth in the liability insurance commissions, which is a positive indicator for the Company’s strategic focus. Additionally, the reduction in the net loss demonstrates improved financial performance and operational efficiency compared to the prior year.”
