Xu Xiaoliang

Okay. To all of the investors, analysts, and friends of the media onsite and online, good morning.

I will now report our thoughts on the group's development strategy. Looking back at the first half, what's certain is that external uncertainty is not reducing, but intensifying.

We see global economic uncertainty is the norm. The more uncertain it is, the more important it is for Fosun International to anchor to certainty.

We are pursuing high-quality development to navigate different periods of uncertainties. Next, I will explain from four dimensions, including high-quality mission, strategy, operations, and organizations, to share Fosun's strategies.

First, with the external environment changing all the time, Fosun has anchored on this vision and mission. 34 years ago, Chairman Guo and Chairman Wang founded Fosun.

In the founding stage, Fosun made a commitment with the vision of self-improvement, teamwork, performance, and contribution to society. After 36 after 34 years, now we are very clear on the society we are contributing to, that is global families.

We want to create happier lives for families worldwide. Under such mission, we want global families to be healthier, happier, and wealthier, living up to 121 years old.

We want the mission to be Fosun's significance, to be the meaning of Fosun's existence and the belief that Fosuners strive for. I believe, first, we need to have a high-quality mission.

No matter how the world changes, we need to be adamant on the mission. Standing on the mission, we also have a clear strategic positioning, that is building a global innovation-driven family consumer group.

That's an anchor for us. Under such strategy, we also have a very clear strategic focus, including business streamlining, asset-light operations and asset-heavy partners, and balancing offense and defense.

Our mid-term goals are also very clear. In the next 3 to 5 years, Fosun aims to stabilize net profit attributable to owners of the parent to 10 billion RMB and moving towards an investment-grade rating.

In the long term, Fosun aims to be a great company that enable global families to be happier, healthier, and wealthier, and generating more good products, good content, good models, and good scenarios for the global families. Specifically speaking, in order to deliver the strategies, we need to be driven by the operations.

High-quality operation is key to us. The first thing is on global development.

For global development, we have side A and side B. Side A is using global R&D and a global production to build, to create more good products.

By leveraging global resources, forming a globally coordinated industrial footprint, we have very good example. First, Fosun Pharma has built a global R&D team of over 3,000 people, collaborating with the world's brightest team to link the most cutting-edge research resources so that we can continuously generate good products.

Second example is on Hainan Mining. They have 7 70,000 tons of lithium concentrate in Mali already shipped back to China, truly connecting overseas mines with domestic refinery into global production loop.

Apart from having the good products, we also need strong global marketing and global operations. That is the side B we are talking about.

We are focusing on global customer needs, establishing service networks, and strengthen brand reach and market expansion. For example, Fosun Health international medical business is growing rapidly, up by 98% year-on-year in the first half, and establishing several overseas offices.

Their partners cover Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, continuously continuously improving cross-border medical cooperation networks. Chen Qiyu also shared details on Fidelidade previously.

For them, they not only maintain leadership in domestic market, but also expand coverage globally in Portuguese-speaking regions. Now their overseas premium account for nearly 30% with a growth rate of 12%.

We see markets like Peru, Bolivia, and Chile, the premiums rank among the top in their respective markets. In terms of high-quality operations, a very important part is to be innovation-driven.

Innovation is one of Fosun's core growth engines, centered on four dimensions. First is innovative R&D.

We see Henlius' star product, HANSIZHUANG. It has become the global first approved PD-1 monoclonal antibody in two indications.

In terms of innovative products, for Fosun United Health Insurance, they created Yilianyoumeng critical illness insurance that break the traditional high-payout low prevention model. Fosun United Health Insurance is working with top-tier Chinese hospitals, like Ruijin Hospital, to provide full lifecycle healthcare management, filling market gaps.

In terms of innovative processes, Laomiao Gold has developed a product portfolio based on Jiangnan intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship. Hainan Mining implemented carbonization line technology upgrades to enable flexible production, switching between lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide.

Thirdly, on innovative scenarios, we see Grand Yuyuan in Shanghai. They are leveraging intangible cultural heritage to create a global intangible intangible heritage fashion show, a hub for Chinese for China's intangible heritage going global, and it is a gateway for global heritage settling in Shanghai, becoming a new cultural landmark in Shanghai.

Overall, we see Fosun's innovation is not a single point breakthrough, but a systematic innovation spanning across R&D, product, processes, and scenarios to create new momentum for high-quality operations. Within high-quality operations, another important part is AI adoption.

Now we have entered the intelligent era, and AI is the biggest dividend we can have of the intelligent era. For Fosun and for any company, AI is not a choice, but a mandatory thing you need to do.

How well you answer this challenge determined the survival and development of a company. For Fosun, we are committed to AI adoption.

We are not developers of foundational LLMs, but we aim to be advanced AI adopters in industries. Simply put, we do not reinvent the wheel, but we aim to drive the car best.

The goal is to move from business + AI to AI + business. Far, in terms of AI adoption, we have achieved some results.

For example, in the Health segment, Fosun Pharma's PharmAID has over 25 projects. In Happiness segment, Fosun's Tourism segment iterated AIGC agent to redefine the customer vacation experience.

In Wealth segment, Fosun United Health Insurance self-developed AI products, reorganized customer's claims experience, driving both quality and efficiency. In Intelligent Manufacturing segment, Hainan Mining created China's first AI intelligent photonic sorting project and improving resource utilization.

Apart from high-quality operations, another important part is high-quality organization. A organization help us to align our words with our actions, and high-quality organization will determine the company's sustainable high-quality growth.

The key for us is to build a global AI symbiosis organization. Symbiosis here is very important in three aspects.

First is human brain and machine brain symbiosis. The second important part is symbiosis of traditional and digital economy.

Traditional experience can definitely help, and we want a digital foundation to further boost that. The third part is enterprise and ecosystem symbiosis with openness and altruism.

This is the core for our organization set up. Within organization, talent is key.

What's important for us is to build a strong partner system brimming with talents. Now we have 157 Fosun global partners, 35 technology partners, and 117 high-pro partners.

In our strategy, Fosun is clear on generating more AI pioneers so that we can further empower an AI symbiosis organization. Apart from having the talents, we also need strong mechanisms to deliver strategy and tactics.

The key is breaking strategies down into key campaigns or battles to ensure the vitality of organization. We are implementing an campaign mechanism.

We are not focusing on seniority, but on the contribution that the Fosun talents can have. To build a high-quality sustainable company, we also need strong culture.

For Fosun culture, the key is on joint entrepreneurship. We want people with entrepreneurship, and we want them to carry out work diligently and always with caution, to tread carefully.

Such elements are will ultimately contribute to our high-quality organization. Then on ESG, Fosun has been carrying out the Rural Doctor Program for nine years, and over the past nine years, we have dispatched 446 people stationed across the different counties to help the rural doctors, and we have helped 25,000 village doctors, benefiting 3 million rural households and over 16 million rural residents.

We are entering the 10-year anniversary for Rural Doctor Program, and we have won the highest um highest award in China for this program. We have won recognition by domestic and international authoritative institutions for our ESG performance.

Our MSCI ESG rating first rose to AAA, ranking in the top 1% in S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook. Uh for many years, we have been selected in mainstream ESG indices by S&P, Hang Seng, and FTSE Russell.

Uh we have several rank ratings ranking among the top tier domestically and internationally. That's all for our reflections on the strategic developments.

We believe that opportunistic wins are temporary, while strategic wins are long-term. For Fosun's strategy, we are anchoring on long-termism, uh firmly following the path of high-quality development to navigate the different um uncertainties.

In the future, Fosun will stay committed to our values, missions, and vision, focus on strategic path, and strengthen global operations, step up our efforts on global innovation, and use AI well to create more value for shareholders and for the society, making lives happier for families worldwide. I would like to thank again to all of the investors, analysts for your support for Fosun, and we welcome you to experience Fosun's high-quality products, content, and scenarios.

Thank you. Uh

Cai Yiqing

thank you for your presentations and uh introduction. Uh that's the end of this morning's presentations, and then we'll move on to Q&A.

Please raise your hand if you want to raise a question, and we'll ask the staff to give you a mic. Uh

thank you very much for the management team management team for giving you giving me this opportunity. Uh following several years of strategic focus and capability building, we've seen that Fosun has embarked on a distinctive path of development.

It's first half performance has also attracted uh attention from the market. I just want to ask Mr.

Guo, how would you characterize this development path? In which areas of strength will Fosun accelerate further going forward?

Thank you.

Guo Guangchang

Thank you very much uh to our shareholders, our uh analysts, and uh media friends. I believe a company's development is all about the vision and the value.

With a good val- vision, with a good ambition, it's only we'll have a vision and ambition, we have uh we can have a long-term development. Fosun's uh vision is to have uh to help our client to the to live happily till the age of uh 121 years old.

We And uh Chairman Wang just told me that we have been seeing people who have uh lived to 120 years, and we are also uh have the old people who are living in the elderly community of Fosun, they have now more than 100 years old, and they're also traveling. They are very happy.

This is the ambition and vision of uh Fosun, which is to have more customers to enjoy the good products. With our efforts to uh uh deliver better uh service to our call uh uh cu- customers, and also we have seen a lot of the uh people in Africa, they have um uh become healthy again because of our efforts.

I'm very grateful to our colleagues for their efforts and for their trying over the years. I believe over the years for Fosun, especially last year, we have managed to repair to uh repair the roof while the while in a sunny days.

We managed to um repair this roof. For Fosun, we have uh embarked on a journey of a stable and the fast development.

I think the core of our business, we have insurance, we have also the business we have strength. With years of development, our insurance business have uh delivered some results.

We also have bi- bio pharma pharmaceutical uh businesses. We also have uh the tourism business.

I think this business have all had deliv- delivered very good potential where we can uh deliver better results. How we manage to to uh to uh unlock the potentials of these business, I think it's about how we manage to build our capabilities just like Alex Gong and also our two co-CEOs have presented.

We continue to build our globalized operations capabilities. Our revenues now, a big part of our revenues come from global business, and the global business is grow- growing very well, profit very well.

For the global bus- and overseas business, one side is uh we uh going global, which is to sell our products to overseas market. The second is to introduce and bring in talents and bring in business into China.

I think the uh tourism business in China is very competitive, and the Hong Kong um hospitality uh business uh like the hotel business is the pricing is increasing. For Atlantis is also quite expensive, but when you have overseas visitors to Hong Kong, they still find the price not very expensive.

Similarly, for the overseas medical and healthcare, we have 1/3 and so the the uh so the uh public destinations are Japan and and Singapore. The rev- the uh it's actually priced a lot higher than China, I think we can bring in a lot of these businesses and opportunities to to China, which is going to be a good uh uh business potential for for Fosun and for for China.

We decide to uh continue to to build this um potentials in China. Especially our operations, I just like to mention our bus- I think the business for neurodegenerative uh uh segment is actually a very high potential business.

I believe for the people in this room today, 1/3 of you might have Parkinson's disease when you get old, and 1/3 may have Alzheimer's disease. Don't worry, Fosun will give you very good medications and drugs to help cure you.

We are actively expanding into all of these um fields. I don't think that's going to take very long.

Secondly, I believe we need to continuously improve our innovations and strength of our industrial operations. I believe that will take time.

For pharmaceutical and touris- tourism business, we have a very strong uh like talent and innovation business. However, for the fashion business and also for the uh liquor business for Baijiu business, I think we fail to the to showcase very strong innovation capabilities for fashion and also for the liquor business.

I believe if you can give Fosun more time, we'll be able to build up the strength of talent and also innovation, will be more competitive globally. This is the point of uh uh of repairing the roof for our business.

It's to it's the the point of this is to deliver our values and to create more values for shadowholders. In order to do that, we're going to continue to be focused on the business where we have potentials and strengths, like um insurance, etc., and we follow the this development path.

I would like to take this opportunity uh to thank everyone, because this is actually after six years time, the first time we come back to Hong Kong to hold this result announcement. I hope going forward we have more opportunities to communicate with you in here.

I ask for your attention to the gro- good products of uh Fosun, our Clear Water Bay product, Clear Water Bay construction is now commenced. It's a very different product.

This product has a sense of artistic um artistic senses, and we have the youth and young people of the Hong Kong technological comp- uh University. It's low intensity community.

I ask you to go and see our district. It's a very hot business day, I will take this opportunity to give you some advertisements.

Cai Yiqing

Now we will open to the next question. Okay.

Thank you, Chairman Guo and the management team's presentation. Congratulations on having the strong performance.

I'm from Standard Chartered. I've been monitoring Fosun's business for quite a while, and I know Fosun has diversified business and a global footprint.

My question is, for Fosun's operations, how will Fosun adhere to the core operating principles to unlock further growth potential?

Cai Yiqing

We will have Mr. Wang to take this question.

Okay.

Wang Qunbin

Thank you very much. I would like to thank all of the investors and analysts and friends from the media both online and in this room and many of the partners.

For Fosun's core operating principles, we have Chairman Guo and the two CEOs and Gong Ping sharing details on that. We are rooted on our values, including self-improvement, teamwork, performance, and contribution to society, and we want to create happy lives for families worldwide.

On top of that, I would like to emphasize a few things. First, especially at this stage, we are continuously streamlining our business and focused on our core business for stronger development, and we will continuously work to improve the credit rating of Fosun International to investment grade, and we will be more focused on development.

Just like Mr. Guo has mentioned, insurance business and um businesses where we have advantage are all very important.

Um For the advantage businesses that include the Fosun Pharma, Club Med, and Yuyuan, and we are pushing the insurance companies and other core businesses to create more collaborations, to create more synergies centering around the global families. Just like Xu Xiaoliang mentioned, we are aiming for high-quality development, and we uphold long-termism to navigate the economic cycles and harness the cycles.

Over the past few years, we gained a deep insight to economic cycles, in the future we aim to be more prepared and to tackle the uncertainties so that we can be more prepared for the uncertainties. That's the first principle.

Secondly, we will continue to adhere on the principle of having customer first and to improve customer satisfaction. We have five types of customers with innovation in product and services.

First, we want to improve the satisfaction for our clients. Secondly, we aim to improve the satisfaction of our employees, including the key talents we have.

Third type of client is the investors, we also aim to make investors happier. Just like the two CEOs and Gong Ping mentioned, we aim to continuously improve on ROE and improve dividend.

Meanwhile, for our partners and for our community, for the whole society, we also we are very committed to delivering um happiness or satisfaction to them. To do that, ESG is a important part.

Practicing the programs of ESG can help us to uh generate stronger customer satisfaction for all types of customers or stakeholders. We will continue to innovate on the different dimensions.

As mentioned by the two CEOs and Gong Ping, we will have more innovation of products, services, but we also want innovation with Fosun characteristics. We want to have open, integrated innovation.

We will do uh innovation on our own, in the meantime, we will also step up our efforts on cooperation like through BD or investment, incubation. Within innovation, a very important part is AI.

We are committed to AI adoption so that our business can be empowered. Fourthly, we are committed to globalization.

As Chen Qiyu has mentioned, we need to enhance the commercialization and the global operations for our innovative pipeline. We aim to connect China capabilities with global resources or capabilities.

As we all know, China is strong in supply chain and service, like medical services benefiting global patients or Laomiao Gold opening stores globally. Another important part is product innovation, just like Silver Cross.

They are leveraging China technologies to have innovative products. We also need strong marketing capabilities, including those in China, especially e-com marketing.

Fifthly, we are committed to building a global organization full of energy, full of strong talents. Entrepreneurship is the core principle for our talents, and that is the foundation for our partner system.

We have global partners, industry partners, technology partners, functional line partners, and the HIPer partners, building a strong talent pipeline. This is the key assets we have to drive the sustainable growth of our organization.

Just like our management team has mentioned, we encourage you to experience the good products we have. Like Mr.

Guo mentioned, in Hainan, we have Atlantis Sanya, and we have like the senior residents visiting there, and I wish happiness and health and wealth to you all. Uh

thank you for the opportunity. I'm from Jilin, the fund manager.

Uh I have a question for the pharmaceutical side. In the first half, we've seen Fosun Pharma has made solid progress in both BD and R&D pipeline, especially in your presentation, you have mentioned that you have obtained um obtaining the additional exclusive options for global rights for Alzheimer's AR1001.

It's a very exciting opportunity for a medical inves- uh analyst. Could the management outline Fosun Pharma's therapeutic strategy and explain how commercialization and BD will jointly drive sustainable growth?

Cai Yiqing

Uh we give the question to uh Chen Qiyu.

Chen Qiyu

As a uh company driven by innovative drugs, we need to focus on the unmet medical uh needs. Our therapeutic uh strategic uh layout is actually focused on this.

We consider the medical demands in China, in US, and also in all the emerging markets of the world. We look at different dimensions.

In the past, we used to focus on oncology medications, and we have seen the big medications and drugs uh in the oncology uh uh field, and the progress they're progressing very well. Uh therapeutic uh strategy, oncology has been the key focus of Fosun Pharma for the past decade.

I believe it will also be a focus for uh uh is her very um a good focus for the market in the next uh one decade to see the results. For the biosimilars companies, in the past three years, we have built a foundation.

Uh we have built ourselves into a very important player as a biosimilar company. We have observed a very strong collaboration with the global biosimilar companies, and we're going to deliver strong competitiveness on this front going forward.

We want to become a leading player on this. For biosimilar, it's only just one step.

Moreover, it's all also about um innovation. PD-1 is now pushing for um some other indications, other oncology and tumors.

At the same time, Henlius' 22 43, especially uh PD-L1 uh ADC 43, I believe will have very strong potentials for oncology treatment. All of these medications, we target global market.

Of course, we have some other uh medications that is focused on tumor treatment. Globally, our shared pain point, or something we have been exploring for many years, is on AD.

Like you uh have mentioned about AD. My view is that the future potential for the innovative drugs should be on degenerative drugs, degenerative treatment and AD.

That should be a long-term layout, a long-term development uh for us. The a lot of MNCs have invested uh like hundreds of billions on this, and in the past two years, with two monoc- monoclonal uh drugs have been launched, we have seen some progress and some drugs on AD.

Now, AR1001, we are pushing it step-by-step. We started from getting the option in China, getting the rights in China, and we started to re- to review the data, and now we are trying to obtain the rights on differ- on global market, and we're moving to SEA and to global rights.

I believe we are pushing our understanding and development of this drug. We're going to uh very soon see the data, the final data of this of this project.

Besides AD, we have acquired uh 971 in China, we also use the data to make the decision. AR1001 and 971, they are both oral drugs.

I think oral drugs will be uh a all the oral drugs will be a very uh strong uh potential products in the future, and this is just in the early phase. There will be a few further iterations in the in the future, and I know that Henlius is also developing some monoclonal uh drugs.

At the same time, we are going to focus on the cell therapy um. I think in the short term, we look at oncology, and mid- to long-term look at oncology.

I believe there will also be a lot of uh potentials for the immunotherapy. For the immunotherapy immune immunology, we look at the small cells and some other potential therapies as well.

These are the drugs that we'll focus on, and also at the same time on the cardiovascular and and also we are developing the GLP-1 small cell uh developments. We have pushed for collaboration with um with Pfizer.

I believe we'll have a lot of uh opportunities. With a uh short to mid- and long-term uh development plan, we have different steps, and also for the product acquisition, we have our self-developments, and uh for self-development, we have built this two self-development uh platform.

We have Henlius that has built ADC, monoclonal, and bispecific. We have also the new drug development R&D platform, which is on molec- uh molecules, focusing on the RNA and like small cells, etc.

I believe we have the self-development to enrich our pipelines. At the same time, we are pushing for the BD opportunities, especially on these uh uh these uh projects that are reasonably to be launched and we don't have them yet in our pipeline.

We are pushing for that. We uh besides our own self-developments, we have pushed for the progress with Junshi on GR A 1803, GS 005, and these are the pipelines that we don't yet have in our own pipeline, our own development pipeline.

Also, we leveraged incubated funds. Our model is that we leverage this fund incubation to to deliver or to build a innovative drug platforms to This In this way, it has the lowest resource consumption for Fosun Pharma, and if there are any good products, we'll get into it immediately, just like the Biontech mechanism on the hepatitis B uh medication that I have just mentioned in my presentation.

That's how we managed to get into the field. We want to leverage this diversified uh model to build a comprehensive pipeline and to become a compl- company that is driven by innovative drugs in the future.

We want to have the we want to be able to build the drugs that will deliver 500 million potentials in the future.

Cai Yiqing

Okay. Thank you.

We will now open the next question.

Wan Chao

Thank you for giving me this opportunity, and congratulations on delivering strong results in the first half of this year, giving strong return to the uh investors. I am Wang Chao from Zhaoyin.

You have shared on your presence in different segments, including for innovation and manufacturing. This is where we see uh advantages in China, and we see fierce competition in China.

With the advancement of AI, I see that people will have more time for their own, and I believe that in the future, tourism space will greatly benefit from AI. We see, globally speaking, we are seeing strong recovery for tourism industry overall, and for Fosun Tourism, we see the um goal of being a lifestyle group.

Could you please explain the strategic rationale for the firm commitment to vacation segment, and explain the future direction of the product portfolio?

Xu Xiaoliang

Okay. Thank you for this question.

We see for the global tourism market, it comprises two parts: one is sightseeing and the other is vacation. Since the 1950s, we see a lot of um opportunities for vacation, and we are seeing the shift from fight from sightseeing towards vacations.

Following decades of market development, we see in the overall, that 70% vacations and 30% sightseeing. If we turn to China, in the 15th Five-Year Plan, the goal of becoming a strong tourism nation was included in this plan for the first time, and tourism has become a strategic pillar industry, an industry supporting people's livelihood and contributing to well-being.

For the 30 years of China's tourism industry, now China is the largest source market, and to be a strong tourism nation for China, not only number is number important, the quality is equally important. We are seeing the uh trend of shifting from sightseeing to vacation in in China.

Now in China, that's 70% sightseeing and 30% vacation, we see this 40 percentage point gap, structurally speaking, between China and global tourism market. For a tourism company, your presence in the vacation space determine your competitiveness.

For Fosun Tourism segment, we are fully committed to vacation, and we believe that better vacation or better holiday, better life. Globally speaking, and also in China, we have three product lines.

Globally speaking, we are centered on Club Med with 76 years of history. Now, excluding mainland China, Club Med operates 57 resorts with 37 sun resorts and 21 mountain resorts, and these resorts will be further upgraded to provide better services and better quality and products.

Club Med also aim to accelerate expansion globally speaking. Now we have 57 resorts, and by 2030, we aim to have 86 resorts in total.

We will have more resorts in Canada, in North Africa, in the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia. Especially in mount- in terms of mountain resorts, we have 20 uh mountain resorts now, and this is scarce resources.

In the future, we want to uh build a whole mountain resort ecosystem with presence in China and the rest of the world. As I mentioned before, in China, we are shifting from sightseeing towards vacationing, and in China, the uh family culture is strong.

China's holiday is usually uh frequent, but short, what suits China market is short break and micro vacation product. That's why in China, we are focusing on super resort destinations.

Just like Atlantis Sanya in Hainan, in the future, in more cities, we will create more like ultra-med resort destinations. For the cities and city clusters in China, we have Urban Oasis and Joyview.

These are the two product lines in China we have to support the presence for super resort destination. Another important opportunity in China is the culture tourism mall.

Now we see a lot of shopping malls across the different cities in China, but we what we don't have is culture tourism malls with local features. The first pilot we have is Chongqing's High-Sphere mall, centering on Chongqing Bayu culture.

With such projects to start, we will have more potential in the future. Overall, for China and for rest of the world, we have super resort super resort destinations and super culture tourism mall.

These are the three major product lines. For Fosun's Tourism segment, we aim to be the uh leading family vacation brand.

Thank you for your question.

Cai Yiqing

Thank you, Mr. Xu.

I believe that there are many questions to come, but due to the time limit, we will have the for the last question.

Thank you. I'm from Hang Seng Bank.

Thank you for your detailed uh introductions and uh uh congratulations for your good performance. I want to take this opportunity uh to ask the management a question.

How do you push the industrial operations coupled with uh how how do you coordinate industrial operations as a access cash recovery and debt optimization? How will it convert momentum in core industries into earnings growth and stable, sufficient cash flow and supporting credit rating targets and steadily improving shareholder returns?

Cai Yiqing

We'll give you the question to the our CFO Gong Ping.

Gong Ping

Thank you for your question. On the industrial operations and asset access and cash recovery and debt optimization, we are doing a lot of work within the group.

I think this works are not in silo, they are actually quite systematic, they are not separate activities. Uh they form an integrated system.

When we form financial strategy, it designed to support industrial operations. At the same time, we considers the needs of shareholders, creditors, rating agencies, and subsidiaries, and also our stakeholders' maintain, and we try to maintain a dynamic balance among earnings growth, cash generation, capital efficiency, and financial security.

We have mentioned that our medium-term target is uh actually RMB10 billion net profit attributable to attributable to shareholders. We have broken down that um target.

The four core sub- subsidiaries uh the uh core businesses is insurance, pharmaceutical, and tourism. Our target is for the core subsidiaries to expect to contribute RMB8 billion.

Other key subsidiaries to contribute RMB4 billion, and investment gains can reach RMB2 billion. At the same time, the headquarters' uh finance and admin expenses will be reduced to RMB4 4 billion.

Therefore, the 10 billion uh target is 8 billion + 4 billion + 2 billion +. At the same time, we encourages our subsidiaries when conditions are appropriate to unlock value by spinning off mature business and to strengthen their ability to pay dividends upstream.

I think these financial targets are not a simple um like add-up of this uh exercises. Then we need to improve the industrial operation uh profits, which is the um the recurring earnings of our sister subsidiary, and also the investment gains can be a supplement.

Here, I want to mention our insurance and high-strength business. In 2026, our insurance businesses have delivered some skill.

Our four insurance subsidiaries have reached uh around uh 400 uh billion, and they have uh delivered a industrial operating profit of RMB2 billion in the first half. I believe the insurance business will be a the most important uh contributor profit contributor of the group.

At the same time, we have seen the total premiums of our insurance companies have generated more than 50 billion RMB. For Fidelidade, Peak Re, Pramerica Fosun, and Fosun United Health, they have seen a very good profit and also very strong dividend payout in the first half.

They So, in this uh segment, we'll continue our efforts to make sure that we comply with the regulatory requirement and the market expectations to make sure that it becomes a a very important technical segment of our business. Sec- secondly, at the group level, besides insurance and some other core businesses, we'll continue to uh complete the divestments um of our non-strategic assets.

This first half, we have managed to uh completed um to generate more than 12 billion RMB in cash proceeds, and also the total debt to total uh capital ratio had declined further to 55.7%. In the next uh 5 years, we have uh prepared a full like um hundreds of billions of pipeline projects to be exited, and that's um um that's going and we and and that's going to uh generate around 60 billion in asset proceeds over 5 years and gradually re- reduce the interest-bearing debt at the group headquarters level to RMB60 billion.

Our target is to um to deliver uh like stable earnings and recurring cash flow through industrial operations. At the same time, we will have asset access, release capital tied up in the portfolio, and at the same time, debt optimization that lowers financing costs, improves the credit uh metrics, so that we can deliver our strategy and to deliver more values to our share- shareholders.

Thank you.

Cai Yiqing

Okay. Thank you, Mr.

Gong. We are running out of time, but at this very important timing with Fosun back on the right track, I'm sure you want uh Chairman Guo to say a few words.

Guo Guangchang

Okay. Thank you all again.

I would like to share uh my thoughts here. Now we are back to the track of growth, and we see strong results for the first half of this year, but this is not the end goal for us.

Just like Gong Ping mentioned, in for the uh mid-term target, we want to reach 10 billion RMB in terms of net profit, but this is still not our ultimate goal. I still want to elaborate on our investment value and the core value.

I believe the core value are two-folds. First, Fosun is rooted in China and building global presence.

We are building integrated innovation capability. This is a very unique structure of Fosun.

For the pharmaceutical business, we have business started from from scratch, and we have business showing integrated innovation. This is not something that an ordinary company can do.

Such capability will further create value for you in the future, including the 1001 Alzheimer's drug, and this is only one example. I believe there will be more to come in the future.

Also in tourism, and in fashion, in consumption, we aim to fully leverage the um advantage we have for integrated innovation while cuz we are rooted in China and having global presence. Another thing I want to emphasize is we are trying to um having synergy between insurance and our advantaged industry industries.

For the past 30 years, this is something that Fosun is trying to do, and we are showing um some results in this in terms of creating synergy between insurance and the rest of the segments, and it will bring stronger momentum for Fosun. These are the two points I would like to emphasize, especially the second point, connecting our operating companies and insurance.

This is very difficult, but very promising. Every day here, we are um aiming for this, and I believe we are reaching stage results here, but we will work harder on this.

Fosun is a patient company, delivering continuous operations, and we welcome people with the shared insights and a value to join us and grow with us. That's all from me.

Thank you.

Cai Yiqing

Okay. Thank you all of the investors, analysts, and the partners for attending this um event, and that concludes the first session for Fosun International 2026 interim results announcement.

The afternoon session will start at 2:00 p.m., and please uh you are welcome to join us online. Thank you.
