Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net income before depreciation, amortization, interest expenses and income tax expenses, and further adjusted to exclude the shared-based compensation expense and non-recurring items such as impairment of investment in equity investees, gain/ loss on disposal of equity investees and subsidiaries which management aims to better represent the underlying business operations.

(3)

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net income before share-based compensation expense and non-recurring items such as impairment of investment in equity investees, gain/loss on disposal of equity investees and subsidiaries and corresponding tax impact in which management aims to better represent the underlying business operations.

(4)

Adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is defined as net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group excluding shared-based compensation expense and non-recurring items such as impairment of investment in equity investees, gain/loss on disposal of equity investees and subsidiaries which management aims to better represent the underlying business operations.

(5)

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is defined as adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of basic and diluted ADS, respectively.

Non-GAAPFinancial Measures

Weuse EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, and adjusted basic and dilutedearnings per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating the Company’s operatingresults and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

Webelieve that such non-GAAP measures help identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that could otherwise be distortedby the effect of the related expenses and gains that the Company includes in income from operations and net income, and provide usefulinformation about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow forgreater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Thenon-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financialmeasures have limitations as analytical tools. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to ordinaryshareholders and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders should not be considered in isolationor construed as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company’s operatingperformance. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and adjusted basic and dilutedearnings per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented byother companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measuresto the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entiretyand not rely on a single financial measure.

The following tablesets forth unaudited reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results for the period indicated.

BUSINESSREVIEW AND OUTLOOK

BusinessReview during the Reporting Period

Weare a leading and fast-growing express delivery company in China. We provide domestic and international express delivery services aswell as other value-added logistics services through our extensive and reliable nationwide network coverage in China.

Inthe first half of 2025, we achieved solid financial and operating results as we continue to improve service quality and operational efficiencyamidst intensified industry competition. Our revenue increased by 9.8% from RMB20,686.0 million for the six months ended June 30,2024 to RMB22,723.3 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in express delivery demand driven by the growthof online consumption penetration and our mix shift towards higher-value customers.

Core Express DeliveryBusiness

Wederive a substantial part of our revenues from express delivery services that we provide to our network partners, which mainly includeparcel sorting and line-haul transportation. We charge our network partners a network transit fee for each parcel that is processed throughour network. In addition, we also directly provide express delivery services to certain enterprise customers, including vertical e-commerceand traditional merchants, in connection with the delivery of their products to end consumers as well as associated returned parcelsservices. We also generate revenues from the sale of ancillary materials, such as portable barcode readers, thermal paper and ZTO-brandedpacking materials and uniforms, to our network partners.

Wedetermine the level of pricing of our network transit fee based on the operating costs of our business while also considering other factors,including market conditions and competition as well as our service quality. The network transit fees we charge our network partners areprimarily measured by (i) a fixed amount for a waybill attached to each parcel and (ii) a variable amount per parcel for sortingand line-haul transportation based on the parcel weight and route distance. The delivery service fees we charge the enterprise customersare also based on parcel weight and route distance.

Ournetwork partners generally charge each parcel sender a delivery services fee directly. They have full discretion over the pricing oftheir services after taking into consideration certain of their costs, including the network transit fees we charge them and other factors,including market conditions and competition as well as their service quality. There has historically been decline in the delivery servicesfees charged by our network partners to parcel senders partially due to decreasing unit operational costs and market competition. Wehave been able to adjust the level of network transit fees based on market conditions and our operating costs.

Ecosystem of IntegratedSolutions

Weaim to become an integrated logistics service provider. Building on our core express delivery business, we are expanding our serviceofferings with a goal to build an ecosystem of express delivery, less-than-truckload (LTL), cross-border, warehousing, aviation, coldchain and commerce solutions. The expansion of our business channels enables us to capture diversified demand. We provide LTL logisticsservices with a focus on heavy cargo and international express delivery services in Southeast Asia, Africa and other countries; crossborder including freight forwarding services; we also provide customers with integrated logistics solutions for warehousing, distributionand transportation.

Logistics Networkand Infrastructure

Network Base

Weoperate a highly scalable and flexible network partnership model to buttress the significant growth of e-commerce in China. We prideourselves in having established a solid and cohesive network base that covers 99% of cities and counties across China. As of June 30,2025, we had approximately 6,000 direct network partners operating over 31,000 pickup and delivery outlets and approximately 110,000last-mile posts nationwide.

Wecontinuously seek to expand our network by connecting with new qualified network partners. We provide training to new partners to ensurequality of performance. We also support our network partners in their construction of last-mile posts, including to the countryside andrural areas, to enhance our last-mile presence and market penetration. Leveraging our experience and resources, we support the upgradingof their throughput capacity as well, which strengthens our service capabilities, sustains our competitiveness and fuels our long-termgrowth.

LogisticsInfrastructure

Ourexpansive service network is supported by our mission-critical line-haul transportation and sorting infrastructure. As of June 30,2025, our logistics infrastructure network comprised 94 sorting hubs with 690 automation lines and approximately 3,900 line-haul routesserviced by over 10,000 self-owned line-haul trucks, out of which more than 9,400 were high capacity 15 to 17-meter-long models.

Toincrease our parcel handling capacity and our ability to handle volume surges, we continuously invest in our logistical infrastructureof sorting hubs and line-haul fleets to effectively address logistical bottlenecks. Our automated sorting lines are a result of our continuousadoption of new technology solutions in automation hardware and software to increase operating efficiency. We also control the routeplanning and vehicle dispatch of our entire line-haul transportation network. Leveraging our technological know-how, we have systematicallyintroduced mechanisms to increase the fleet load rates and transportation efficiency as parcel volume increased.

TechnologyInfrastructure

Ourself-developed and centralized Zhongtian system is the technology backbone for the efficient management of our complex network operationsand delivery services. It has over hundreds of modules with numerous functionalities and features covering all scenarios of our businessand operations, including our operational management, network management, settlement, finance and other integrated systems and mobileapps connecting our network partners.

Forinstance, we have developed a suite of technologies and proprietary algorithms for real-time monitoring, order dispatchment and forecastingto support the high-throughput processing of over 100 million orders per day. Utilizing the accumulated big data of parcel traffic andvolume, our intelligent routing algorithms are able to dynamically model and predict future parcel volume, and adjust manpower and transportresource allocation to achieve optimal transportation time and costs. We have also implemented key checkpoints throughout the servicevalue chain aimed at the timely identification and rectification of logistical bottlenecks, so as to ensure the smooth end-to-end operationof our express delivery services.

Thecontinuous digitization and intelligentization of our operations enable us to address mismatch between volume and delivery capacity,which optimizes dispatch schedules and improves order fulfilment rate, all while lowering our operating costs. Our continued effortsin upgrading our technology infrastructure to promote intelligent logistics have contributed to the decrease in our combined unit costof sorting and transportation for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Future Plans forMaterial Investments or Capital Asset

Asof June 30, 2025, we did not have detailed future plans for material investments or capital assets.

Gearing Ratio

Asof June 30, 2025, our gearing ratio was 31.5%, compared to 32.1% as of December 31, 2024, calculated by dividing total liabilitiesby total assets.

Liquidity and CapitalResources

Ourprincipal sources of liquidity have been proceeds from cash flows from operating activities and financing activities. As of June 30,2025, our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments were RMB13,291.8 million, RMB22.7 million, and RMB13,232.5million, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments, which are unrestrictedas to withdrawal or use or have maturities of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash represents secured deposits held indesignated bank accounts for issuance of bank acceptance notes, settlement of derivatives and commencement of construction. Short-terminvestments consist primarily of dual currency notes and deposits, investments in fixed deposits with maturities between three monthsand one year and wealth management products which we have the intent and the ability to hold to maturity within one year. As of June 30,2025, approximately 83.6% of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments were held by subsidiaries andaffiliated entities incorporated in China, and approximately 83.3% of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investmentswere denominated in Renminbi.

Asof June 30, 2025, we had outstanding principal amount of short-term bank borrowings and long-term borrowings of RMB11.0 billionand RMB180.0 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate of short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings drawn were 1.41%and 2.76% in the six months ended June 30, 2025. All of the bank borrowings of the Group were denominated in RMB and were at fixedinterest rate.

Webelieve that our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations are sufficient to fund our operating activities,capital expenditures and other obligations for at least the next 12 months. However, we may decide to enhance our liquidity positionor increase our cash reserve for future expansions and acquisitions through additional financing activities. The issuance and sale ofadditional equity would result in further dilution to our existing shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increasedfixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that may restrict our operations and ability to make distributions. However,financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Although we consolidate the results of our consolidatedaffiliated entities, we only have access to the assets or earnings of our consolidated affiliated entities through the Contractual Arrangements.

Significant Investments

We did not make or holdany significant investments during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Material Acquisitionsand Disposals

Duringthe Reporting Period, we did not conduct any material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures.

Pledge of Assets

Asof June 30, 2025, our interest-bearing time deposits of RMB3.6 billion were used as pledge for the issuance of bank acceptance notes.

Foreign ExchangeRisk

Ourrevenues, expenses and assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in Renminbi. We do not believe that we currently have any significantdirect foreign exchange risk. To date, we have entered into some hedging transactions, such as foreign currency deposits, foreign currencyforward contract and options, to hedge exposure to such risk. Although our exposure to foreign exchange risks should be limited in general,the value of your investment in our ADSs will be affected by the exchange rate between U.S. dollar and Renminbi because the value ofour business is effectively denominated in RMB, while our ADSs will be traded in U.S. dollars.

Theconversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, is based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China. TheRenminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. It is difficult to predict how market forcesor PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.

Tothe extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollarwould have an adverse effect on the RMB amount we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert Renminbi into U.S.dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciationof the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amounts available to us.

Asof June 30, 2025, we had RMB4,375.0 million of cash and cash equivalent, restricted cash and short-term investment that were denominatedin U.S. dollars. If Renminbi had appreciated by 10% against the U.S. dollar, it would result in a decrease of RMB397.7 million in ourcash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investment.

Interest Rate Risk

Ourexposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest income generated by excess cash, which is mostly held in interest-bearingbank deposits. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixedrate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities mayproduce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short ofexpectations due to changes in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if we have to sell securities which have declinedin market value due to changes in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk also arises from our borrowings that have a floatingrate of interest. The costs of floating rate borrowings may be affected by the fluctuations in the interest rates. We have not been,and do not expect to be, exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates, and we have not used any derivative financial instrumentsto manage our interest risk exposure.

Contingent Liabilities

We had no material contingentliabilities as of June 30, 2025.

Capital Expendituresand Capital Commitment

Inconnection with the purchases of property and equipment, purchases of land use rights and the expansion of our self-owned truck fleetand upgrade of our equipment and facilities, we incurred capital expenditures of an aggregate of approximately RMB3.1 billion for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 (six months ended June 30, 2024: RMB3.0 billion). We intend to fund our future capital expenditureswith our existing cash balance and other financing alternatives. We will continue to make capital expenditures to support the growthof our business.

Ourcapital commitments primarily relate to commitments on construction of office building, sorting hubs and warehouse facilities. Our capitalcommitments as of June 30, 2025 amounted to RMB6.0 billion. All of these capital commitments will be fulfilled based on the constructionprogress.

Employeesand Remuneration

Asof June 30, 2025, we had a total of 23,913 employees. The following table sets out the breakdown of our own employees by functionas of June 30, 2025:

Functional Area	Number of Employees		% of Total

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2025

(Amounts in thousands, except for share and per share data)

ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

ZTO Express (Cayman) Inc. (the “Company”)was incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands on April 8, 2015. ZTO, its subsidiaries and its variable interest entity and subsidiariesof variable interest entity (“VIE”) (collectively also referred to as the “Group”) are principallyengaged in express delivery services in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) through a nationwide networkpartner model.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidatedfinancial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required byU.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statementsprepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted consistent with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The condensedconsolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustmentsas necessary for the fair statement of the Group’s financial position as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025, resultsof operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31,2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes requiredby U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that usersof the condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for thepreceding fiscal years. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financialstatements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2024. The accounting policies applied are consistent with thoseof the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicativeof the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.

(b)

Principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financialstatements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and VIE. All intercompany transactions and balances havebeen eliminated on consolidation.

The Group evaluates the need toconsolidate its VIE of which the Group is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Group is the primary beneficiary, theGroup considers if the Group has (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affects the economicperformance of the VIE, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE orthe right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If deemed the primary beneficiary, theGroup consolidates the VIE.

The Group believes that there are noassets held in the consolidated VIE that can be used only to settle obligations of the VIE, except for registered capital and the PRCstatutory reserves. As the consolidated VIE is incorporated as a limited liability company under the PRC Company Law, creditors of theVIE do not have recourse to the general credit of the Group for any of the liabilities of the consolidated VIE.

Relevant PRC laws and regulations restrictthe VIE from transferring a portion of their net assets, equivalent to the balance of its statutory reserve and its share capital, tothe Group in the form of loans and advances or cash dividends.

(c)

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statementsin conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilitiesat the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results maydiffer from these estimates. The Group bases its estimates on historical experience and other relevant factors.

(d)

Convenience translation

The Group’s business isprimarily conducted in the PRC and almost all of the Group’s revenues are denominated in RMB. However, periodic reports madeto shareholders will include current period amounts translated into U.S. dollars using the then current exchange rates, solely forthe convenience of the readers outside the PRC. Translations of the condensed consolidated balance sheet condensed consolidatedstatement of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows from RMB into U.S. dollars as of and for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 were calculated at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB7.1636 representing the noon buying rate set forthin the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on June 30, 2025. No representation was made that the RMBamounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on June 30, 2025, or at any otherrate.

(f)

Income taxes

As part of the process of preparing financialstatements, the Group is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Group accountsfor income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differencesbetween the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Net operating losses are carriedforward by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years when the reported amounts of the asset or liability are expectedto be recovered or settled, respectively. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based upon the weight of availableevidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Group recognizes thetax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examinationby the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

According to ASC 740-270 Interim Reporting,an estimated annual effective tax rate (AETR) on full year estimated ordinary income should first be determined by the Group and theestimated AETR is then applied to year-to-date ordinary income to compute the interim tax provision on ordinary income.

(g)

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computedby dividing income attributable to holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during theperiods.

Diluted earnings per ordinary share reflectsthe potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised or converted into ordinaryshares, which consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the convertible senior notes (using the if-converted method).Ordinary share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per ordinary share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.

On October 27, 2016, the Group’sshareholders voted in favor of a proposal to adopt a dual-class share structure, pursuant to which the Group’s authorized sharecapital were reclassified and redesignated into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Both Class A ordinaryshares and Class B ordinary shares are entitled to the same dividend right, as such, this dual class share structure has no impactto the earnings per share calculation. Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are the same for each Class A ordinaryshares and Class B ordinary shares.

The effective tax rate is based onexpected income and statutory tax rates. For interim financial reporting, the Group estimates the annual effective tax rate based onprojected accounting incomes for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with the guidance on accountingfor income taxes in a period. As the year progresses, the Group refines the estimates of the year’s taxable income as new informationbecomes available. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective tax rate for the year. Whenthis occurs, the Group adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-dateprovision reflects the expected annual tax rate.

The Group’s effective tax ratefor the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025 were 23.35% (unaudited) and 21.79% (unaudited), respectively.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Employee Share Holding Platform

In June 2016, the Group establishedan employee share holding platform (the “Share Holding Platform”). ZTO Es Holding Limited (“ZTO ES”),a British Virgin Islands company was established as a holding vehicle for the Group’s Share Holding Platform. Four limited liabilitypartnerships (“LLPs”) were established in the PRC as the shareholders of ZTO ES. ZTO ES and the LLPs have no activitiesother than administering the plan and does not have employees.

On June 28, 2016, the Group issued16 million ordinary shares to ZTO ES. All shareholder rights associated with these 16 million ordinary shares including but not limitedto voting right and dividend right were waived until such time when the economic interests in the ordinary shares are granted to theemployees, through transfer of interests in the LLPs. The recipient of limited partnership interests is entitled to indirectly all ofthe economic rights associated with the underlying ordinary shares of the Group and accordingly, at the direction of the employee, ZTOES will sell the Group’s ordinary shares held in connection with the limited partnership interest owned by the employee and remitthe proceeds to the employee. The other shareholder’s rights associated with the Group’s ordinary shares held by the partnershipmay be exercised by the general partner of these LLPs. The Group referred to these limited partner’s partnership interests as ordinaryshare units and five ordinary share units correspond to the indirect economic interest in one ordinary share of the Group.

In March 2024 and 2025, 6,027,415and 5,138,560 ordinary share units corresponding to 1,205,483 and 1,027,712 Company’s ordinary shares were granted to certain officersand employees, respectively. The consideration was nil for both of grants. These share awards vested and exercised immediately upon grant.The Group recorded the share-based compensation of RMB183,175 (unaudited) and RMB149,362 (unaudited) based on the market price at US$21.02and US$20.05 of ordinary shares on the grant date for six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

2016 Share Incentive Plan

In June 2016, the Board also approvedthe 2016 share incentive plan (the “2016 Share Incentive Plan”) in order to provide appropriate incentives to directors,executive officers and other employees of the Group. With effect from May 1, 2023, the scheme limit of the 2016 Share IncentivePlan was capped at the existing size of the share award pool as at December 31, 2022, i.e. 21,000,000 shares. The 2016 Share IncentivePlan was terminated in 2024. There were no outstanding awards under the 2016 Share Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2024.

2024 Share Incentive Plan

In March 2024, the Board approvedthe 2024 share incentive plan (the “2024 Share Incentive Plan”) in order to provide appropriate incentives to directors,employees, and consultants of the Group, pursuant to which the maximum number of shares of the Group underlying the awards to be grantedunder the 2024 Share Incentive Plan shall be 30,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, subject to adjustment and/or update by the Board.

Restricted share units

In March 2024, the Group granted743,366 restricted share units (“RSU”) at par value to certain directors, executive offices and employees pursuantto the 2016 Share Incentive Plan. These grants are vested immediately upon grant. The Group recorded the share-based compensation ofRMB112,956 (unaudited) based on the market price of ordinary shares at US$21.02 on the grant date for the six months ended June 30,2024.

In March 2025, the Group granted454,997 RSU at par value to certain directors, executive offices and employees pursuant to the 2024 Share Incentive Plan.

Share Options

On March 22, 2024, the Group granted916,200 share options to certain directors, executive offices and employees pursuant to the 2024 Share Incentive Plan. The exercise priceis US$21.88. The options will be vested 33%, 33% and 34% on each of three anniversary dates from the grant date, respectively. The optionshave a contractual term of ten years.

The closing price of the Group’sshares immediately before March 22, 2024, the date of grant, was US$21.67 per share. The weighted-average grant date fair valuefor options granted to directors and employees during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was US$6.7 per share, computed using thebinomial option pricing model. The binomial option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions including the expectedstock price volatility and the expected price multiple at which employees are likely to exercise stock options. Expected volatilitiesare based on the average historical equity volatility of the Group. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of theoption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The fair value of stock options was estimated using thefollowing significant assumptions:

	2024
Spot price (US$)		21.02
Exercise price (US$)		21.88
Life of option		10 years
Risk free rate		4.22	%
Expected volatility		35.00	%
Dividend yield		2.95	%
Post-vesting forfeiture rate		5.55%~6.39	%
Exercise multiple		1.5x~2.0x

The following table summarized the Group’s share optionactivity under the option plans:

	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price US$ per share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life Years		Aggregate Intrinsic Value US$
Share options outstanding as of January 1, 2025		916,200		21.88		9.23		-

The total share-based compensationexpenses relating to these options was RMB9,024 (unaudited) and RMB7,774 (unaudited) during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and2025. As of June 30, 2025, there was RMB12,773 (unaudited) of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share options,which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.67 years.
