IR-214

 

"Looking back to the first half of 2016, we believe the remarkable performance was mainly driven by the following factors:

 

1) Favorable regulations. The new vitality and buying power unlocked by the deepening pricing deregulation for auto insurance and life insurance created stronger demand for independent insurance intermediaries as a well-established and cost-effective distribution channel;

 

2) Network and sales force expansion. Our branch in Anhui province has started its business operations, and we are in the process of establishing branches in Qingdao, in Guangxi and Yunnan provinces and are preparing to enter Inner Mongolia. In the first half 2016, we further extended our sales network with an addition of 82 sales outlets and approximately 35,000 sales agents; and

 

3) Marketing strategy. We have successfully implemented our marketing strategy to further strengthen our market position, having invested over RMB172.8 million (US$26.0 million) in the first half 2016.

 

"The strong growth in the first half of 2016 is a testament that we have the right strategy and have made the right decision. Looking ahead, we will continue to extend our sales footprint and implement flexible marketing programs, in order to achieve our goal of RMB100 billion in insurance premiums."

 

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2016

The growth of the P&C insurance agency business was primarily due to a 40.0% growth in insurance premiums as a result of enhanced marketing efforts. The increase in net revenues generated from the life insurance agency business was primarily due to a 251.9% increase in commissions derived from new long-term life insurance policy sales, primarily driven by enhanced marketing efforts and the successful implementation of our cross-selling strategy.

Income tax expense was RMB1.7 million (US$0.3 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of 83.1% from RMB9.9 million for the corresponding period in 2015.

Share of income of affiliates was RMB11.2 million (US$1.7 million) for the second quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of 10.1% from RMB12.5 million for the corresponding period in 2015, mainly attributable to a decrease of profits from Sincere Fame International Limited, in which the Company owns 20.6% of the equity interests.
