Gong Ping

Dear investors and analysts of Fosun International, good morning. On behalf of Fosun International's management team, I will now report to you on Fosun's business results in 2025.

In 2025, Fosun International made progress under pressure. The total revenue reached 173.43 billion RMB, down by 9.7% year-on-year, mainly due to decline in Yuyuan revenue and changes in consolidated scope.

For the revenue from four core subsidiaries, it remained steady with 128.24 billion RMB, accounting for 74% of total group revenue, maintaining stable. We are seeing a highlight: the overseas revenue reached 94.86 billion RMB, accounting for 55% of total revenue, up by 6 percentage points year-on-year, demonstrating the group's solid progress in globalization.

As for investment in technology and innovation, the total investment reached 7.8 billion RMB, and we focused on R&D system optimization, R&D efficiency improvement, focusing on input-output ratio. As for the group's industrial operating profit, it reached 4 billion RMB, excluding non-cash impairment provisions from subsidiaries, remaining stable.

We will also like to report on the net profit attributable to owners of the parent is -23.4 billion RMB. For this result, we also express our regret.

As for 2025 net profit attributable to owners of the parent -23.4 billion RMB, what does it mean? This is the practice based on prudent principle, and it is a practice for us to build a solid foundation for our future progress.

The impairment of real estate account for about 55%, mainly from the loss of real estate project under Yuyuan and impairment provisions on real estate project held by the group. Another 45% come from impairment of non-core assets due to changing consumer behavior, shifts in industry dynamics, and valuations of secondary market financial investment positions are affected by share price fluctuations.

It's worth mentioning that the impairment is mainly non-cash impairment charges. It does not have an impact on the fundamentals of our core businesses and operations.

We are unlocking portfolio value with a clear path to value recovery. By the end of 2025, the group portfolio value maintained at 207 billion RMB, with 60% coming from listed assets and insurance core assets.

The adjusted net asset value was maintained at 133.5 billion RMB, with adjusted NAV per share reaching 18.1 Hong Kong dollars, so that's 0.24 of P/NAV ratio. By the end of 2025, our book value per share reached 12.7 Hong Kong dollars, and the PB ratio was 0.34, which shows our huge potential for value recovery.

In the future, the management team will take multiple approaches to drive a leaner, more transparent portfolio to accelerate value recovery. As a mid-term target, the group's net profit attributable to owners of the parent will reach 10 billion RMB or above.

We will accelerate divestment of heavy assets and non-core subsidiaries to optimize portfolio and reduce group-level interest-bearing liabilities to below 60 billion RMB. We will also accelerate spin-offs to unlock asset value.

As mentioned in the announcement, REIT application has been submitted to SSE backed by Atlantis Sanya, and the Ease-Joy Technology A-share IPO filing has been submitted to Shanghai Securities Regulatory Bureau. Fosun Pharma also announced spin-off plan for its subsidiaries, such as Fosun Antecbio.

As for listed companies, we will strengthen investor communications to improve market cap of listed subsidiaries. We are very happy to see that our four core subsidiaries continue to drive growth, building a resilient profit base.

For Fosun Pharma, we are seeing innovation with global expansion driving innovative drug growth, and we are seeing revenue growth from the innovative drug with double-digit growth. In 2025, Fosun Pharma's net profit attributable to owner of the parent reached 3.37 billion RMB, with 22% year-on-year growth.

Yuyuan suffered short-term pressure, but we are still seeing recovery. We are also seeing strong highlights in Q1 2026.

As for the gold jewelry business, it's still ranking the top among its industry, and Laomiao jewelry opened three new stores overseas in Macau and Kuala Lumpur, that's global expansion breakthrough. Overseas sales of gold and jewelry surged by 229% year-on-year.
