China Pacific Insurance announces the 2025 profit distribution plan: proposing a cash dividend of RMB 1.15 per share.

On March 26, financial front-line news reported that China Pacific Insurance announced its profit distribution plan for 2025, proposing a cash dividend of RMB 1.15 per share (tax included).

The announcement stated that during the reporting period, the company achieved a net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company of RMB 53.505 billion, with a total cash dividend proposed for distribution of RMB 11.06 billion, detailed as follows:

1. The company has implemented new insurance contract standards and new financial instrument standards since January 1, 2023. Since the implementation of the new standards, more financial assets have been classified as trading financial assets, and the fair value changes arising from fluctuations in profit and loss are directly reflected in the current income statement, significantly increasing the company’s net profit in line with capital market volatility. The company values reasonable investment returns for investors, and to provide continuous and stable dividends to investors, the amount of cash dividends is determined based on the profit distribution policy of “anchoring operating profit, with increases in dividends supported by positive investment contributions, while also considering solvency constraints.” In 2025, the company plans to distribute a cash dividend of RMB 1.15 per share (tax included), a year-on-year increase of 6.5%.

2. At this stage, the external economic environment is highly uncertain, and financial regulation continues to guide the insurance industry to adhere to its fundamental protection role, improving operational and service quality. To better implement national strategic policies and enhance the ability to serve the real economy, sufficient capital is needed to support business development. The retained undistributed profits of the company will be used to bolster capital and support the long-term strategic implementation of the company.

3. The company strictly provides convenience for small and medium shareholders to participate in cash dividend decision-making in accordance with relevant regulations of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, standardizing the decision-making procedures and mechanisms for cash dividends. Through performance briefings, Shanghai Stock Exchange E-interaction, investor phone calls and emails, and various other channels, the company communicates and exchanges views with shareholders, especially small and medium shareholders, regarding cash dividend matters, fully listening to their opinions and demands on the profit distribution plan, and promptly responding to the concerns of small and medium shareholders.

4. The company will focus on the overall tone of “seeking progress while maintaining stability, improving quality and efficiency,” further reinforcing its mission, concentrating on its main business, improving governance, seizing development opportunities, continuously deepening reforms, promoting the transition between old and new growth drivers, and constantly enhancing service levels and operational quality. Through new achievements in high-quality development, the company aims to secure new victories at the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan and comprehensively build a first-class insurance financial services group with market leadership and international competitiveness, continuously enhancing the level of investor returns.
