“The resurgences of COVID-19 have brought far-reaching impact on China’s economy and business activities nation-wide, directly or indirectly hurting consumer confidence and purchasing power of middle-class families. Many industries have been drastically impacted, and the insurance industry was certainly not immune” Commenting on the financial results of second quarter of 2021, Mr. Chunlin Wang, chairman and chief executive officer of Fanhua, stated, “In the second quarter, China’s life insurance industry saw a decline of 16.6% year-over-year. Against the headwind, we still managed to record RMB2.5 billion in total life insurance GWP, up by 4.9% year-over-year, with operating income beating expectation to achieve RMB51.0 million. For the first half of 2021, while the life insurance industry only grew by 0.4% year-over-year in GWP, our life insurance business grew by 16.9% year-over-year to RMB5.5 billion in terms of GWP and our operating income achieved RMB191.4 million, meeting nearly two-thirds of our target for 2021.

“Faced with industrial challenges, we also see great opportunities. We believe that there is tremendous room waiting to be explored in China’s life insurance market in the long run, and that professional insurance intermediaries, as an important insurance distribution force, still will benefit from the huge growth potential.
“With an ageing population, the demand of Chinese middle-class families for commercial pension insurance and long-term annuity is expected to continue to grow, and thus opens up a huge blue ocean market. The key to cultivating and meeting such demand is to build a high-quality sales force, gain customer insight through digital intelligence, and provide customers with a variety of customized products according to their individual needs, thus prolonging customer life cycle. We believe that our ‘Professionalization, Digitalization and Open Platform’ strategy has prepared us well for grasping such market opportunities.
“We are glad that we have made good progress in implementing our ‘Professionalization, Digitalization and Open Platform’ strategy. To date, we have approved the establishment of 14 Yuntong (literally translated as Cloud Phoenixtree) branches2, among which nine are preparing for opening. In the meantime, we have initiated the application of new digital tools in Hebei Province on a pilot basis since May 2021 and received positive feedback. Building on our experience in the Hebei pilot zone, we plan to roll out digital tools among our frontline sales force on a wider basis across China in the third quarter of 2021, so as to assist our team leaders to manage their teams more efficiently and empower agents to better engage with the clients based on data-driven insights and digitalized operations.
“We expect our new business for the third quarter of 2021 to improve on a quarter-over-quarter basis while operating income to be no less than RMB25 million, as we will accelerate the pace of the implementation of our new strategy, with increased spending on setting up Yuntong branches and promotion of digitalization initiatives. In the meantime, we will also spare no effort to ramp up sales in the last quarter to achieve our full-year sales target and gear up for the Jumpstart Sales Campaign for 2022. Operating income is expected to exceed RMB100 million for the second half of 2021 and RMB300 million for 2021.”
Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2021
Total net revenues were RMB689.9 million (US$106.9 million) for the second quarter of 2021, representing a decrease of 21.7% from RMB881.5 million for the corresponding period in 2020.

The decrease was mainly due to the weakened demand for critical illness insurance after the strong sales prior to the transition to the new critical illness definition framework in the first quarter of 2021, and relatively high base due to post-COVID19 boost in the corresponding period in 2020.

During the current period, estimated variable renewal commissions related to long-term life insurance products of RMB57.2 million (US$8.9 million) was recognized in our financial statements. The estimated renewal commissions are contingent on future renewals of initial policies or achievement of certain performance targets. Given the material uncertainty around the subsequent renewal of the insurance policies, the estimated renewal commissions expected to be collected are recognized as revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved. With the passing of time and accumulation of historical experiences and data, the judgment and assumptions will be continuously re-evaluated and adjusted as needed when more information becomes available. Actual renewal commissions in the future may differ significantly from those previously estimated.

The decrease was mainly due to the decline in claims adjusting business related to non-auto P&C insurance and marine & cargo insurance.

Revenues generated from the claims adjusting business accounted for 16.3% of our total net revenues in the second quarter of 2021. |
