BEIJING, Aug. 16, 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 half year ended April 30, 2024.
Ms. Sheng Xu, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “The Company reported a net loss of approximately $2.6 million for the six months ended April 30, 2024, primarily due to a significant decline in revenue caused by the loss of a few key insurance company partners. However, we are encouraged by the increase in the commissions from liability insurance of approximately $24,000 compared to the same period in 2023, indicating our success in expanding our liability insurance business.”
“We are actively pursuing strategies, such as expanding into the Hong Kong insurance brokerage market and diversifying our client base, to mitigate the impact of the lost partnerships and improve the Company’s financial performance in the future.”
