China Pacific Insurance's Su Shaojun: The Board of Directors recommends a dividend of 1.15 yuan per share in 2025, with cash dividends increasing by 6.5% compared to the previous year, slightly above the current profit growth rate.

March 27 financial front-line news: China Taiping today held its 2025 annual earnings briefing. Board Secretary Su Shaojun said that China Taiping has always placed a high priority on investors’ returns. Last year, it first proposed our mid-to-long-term dividend policy linked to operating profit. The annual dividend proposal put forward by this board of directors also includes an authorization arrangement to add an interim dividend, which is based on an on-the-ground, prudent assessment of our own operating conditions and funding situation in 2026 and beyond, as well as a proactive initiative to further improve the shareholder return mechanism. The goal is still to implement the mid-to-long-term dividend policy in a practical way and further optimize the company’s dividend payout schedule.

When discussing the dividends for 2025, Su Shaojun noted that this board of directors has proposed a dividend of 1.15 yuan per share. The cash dividend would increase by 6.5% compared with the previous year, which is slightly higher than the year’s profit growth rate. He said that the further increase in the dividend level is also consistent with the dividend policy; the growth rate of the dividend amount per share mainly references the performance of the current operating revenue.

Su Shaojun also said that if the shareholders’ meeting approves, it will authorize the board of directors to decide the 2026 interim dividend plan. The board of directors will make efficient decisions and implement the plan based on the company’s actual operating performance in the first half of 2026.

“Interim dividends are an organic part of the company’s full-year profit distribution. The board of directors will follow the prudent principles it has consistently upheld. On the basis of coordinating the total full-year dividend amount, it will fully take into account the performance for the period and the needs for business development for the full year, in order to reasonably set the ratio between interim and final dividends and determine the specific amount of interim dividends.” Su Shaojun said, “We also hope to build a clearer, more stable, and normalized shareholder return mechanism to better convey to the market signals that the company is continuously and soundly operating.”
