The healthcare and eldercare strategy continued to be implemented; differentiated advantages empowered the main business

Society is accelerating into the “longevity era”, and high-quality healthcare and eldercare services have become an urgent need. In China, the population aged 60 and above has already exceeded 300 million, and China’s average life expectancy is 79 years. At the same time, the industry faces pain points such as uneven distribution of medical resources, complex medical treatment processes, and heavy payment pressure on residents. All-round, multi-level, high-quality healthcare and eldercare services are becoming an urgent and rigid real demand for residents.

Build an upgraded managed-care medical model with Chinese characteristics; become a leading eldercare ecosystem operator in China; and help customers achieve coordinated development of finance and health. Based on Ping An’s solid foundation of “integrated finance”, the Company represents the payer side and integrates the supplier side, providing customers with healthcare and eldercare solutions covering the entire lifecycle with the best value for money. A multi-level protection system enhances customers’ payment capability. In 2025, Ping An achieved health insurance premium income of RMB 159 billion, of which medical insurance premium income was nearly RMB 73.4 billion, up 2.7% year on year. Technology empowers to improve diagnosis and treatment efficiency and enhance service experience. In 2025, the Company launched AI products such as digital avatars of renowned doctors, AI family doctors, and AI eldercare caretakers, covering the entire process from prevention, diagnosis and treatment to rehabilitation. It also innovatively launched an AI-assisted multi-disciplinary team (MDT) consultation platform for complex diseases, which has been applied to disease types such as breast cancer. Among them, AI doctors provide precise diagnosis coverage for more than 11,300 disease types; the accuracy rate of AI doctors assisting diagnosis and treatment was 95.1%; and the accuracy rate of AI-assisted multi-disciplinary consultation diagnosis and treatment plans was nearly 90%. AI+real doctor coverage reached 100% of the Group’s individual customers. The number of annual users of AI doctors was nearly 12 million. In the fourth quarter, the cost per consultation decreased 45% year on year.

The “four-to” service network is continuously improved to build a “five-most” service system. Online: In 2025, Ping An connected the online pharmacy “direct payment” scenario, enabling enterprise health management customers to complete online drug purchases with “direct payment” funded through corporate health accounts. To the hospital: It enabled “direct payment” for insured commercial insurance customers’ medical treatment, covering public hospitals (including special-need international departments), private hospitals, and overseas hospitals and medical institutions; and one-click QR code payment for offline drug purchases for enterprise health management customers, covering 77,000 pharmacies nationwide. To the home: More than 240,000 customers cumulatively obtained eligibility for in-home eldercare services.

The number of domestic cooperating claims-service hospitals exceeded 37,000. Cooperation coverage with domestic top 100 hospitals and tertiary hospitals (Grade 3) reached 100%.

Among them, “Shanghai Yi Nian Cheng • Jing An No. 8” has started official operations, and “Shenzhen Yi Nian Cheng • Futian” has entered trial operations. For cooperating eldercare communities, the experience and exhibition center for “Yi Xiang Cheng Foshan” has launched trial operations, with plans to roll out in new first-tier cities thereafter.

Healthcare and eldercare differentiated empowerment for the financial main business accelerates it to become a second growth curve. The healthcare and eldercare ecosystem effectively promotes higher add-on insurance rates and higher average premium per policy. In 2025, the add-on insurance rate of customers using health-and-eldercare services increased by 4 percentage points. The average premium per new policy for life insurance for customers with healthcare and wellness benefit rights increased to 1.5 times. The average premium per new policy for life insurance for customers with in-home eldercare benefit rights increased to 5.2 times. The average premium per new policy for life insurance for customers with high-quality eldercare benefit rights increased to 23.4 times. Ping An Group’s healthcare and eldercare ecosystem has a self-owned flagship—Peking University Healthcare Group—which continues to grow its operating revenue. In 2025, it reached RMB 5.723 billion. Ping An Health built a managed-care medical model with Chinese characteristics, established differentiated advantages, and achieved operating revenue of RMB 5.468 billion and net profit of RMB 0.380 billion in 2025.

2026 is the first year of the “15th Five-Year Plan” (十五五) period. China’s economic support conditions and basic trends remaining favorable will not change for the long term. With insurance and financial needs continuing to be strong, demand for residents’ health, medical care and eldercare services will gradually increase, bringing new opportunities for the Company’s business development. In 2026, the Company and its entire team will deeply study and implement the spirit of the “Two Sessions” at the national level, always uphold the初心 of putting finance at the service of the people, and implement the business philosophy of “high-value growth, service innovation, technology leadership, and compliance with laws and regulations”. It will deepen the strategy of “integrated finance + healthcare and eldercare” with parallel execution driven by technology. Taking the opportunity of a “Service Year” (服务年), the Company will continuously upgrade the three major innovation service systems, improve operational capabilities, strengthen risk management, and fully deliver on the “five major articles” of finance. It will contribute Ping An’s efforts to help China take the path of high-quality financial development with Chinese characteristics and to accelerate the building of a strong financial power.
