The combined ratio improved to 95.8%, a 1.1 percentage point enhancement compared to 2024, with a loss ratio of 57.1% and an expense ratio of 38.7%, demonstrating significant results from refined operations.

The four ecosystems developed synergistically, with key businesses flourishing across multiple areas. Guided by its ecosystem approach, ZA ONLINE deepened its presence in four core scenarios: health, digital lifestyle, automotive, and consumer finance, forming a differentiated competitive advantage. The health ecosystem became the primary growth driver, with total premiums reaching RMB 12.682 billion in 2025, a 22.7% year-on-year increase. It has served over 150 million health insurance users cumulatively, with the dual-brand matrix of "Zun Xiang E Sheng + Zhong Min Bao" proving highly effective.

The automotive ecosystem capitalized on new energy opportunities, with total premiums of RMB 2.76 billion, a 34.6% year-on-year increase. New energy vehicle insurance premiums surged by 206.2%, and the independent operation of compulsory traffic insurance in Shanghai and Zhejiang yielded positive results. The consumer finance ecosystem maintained prudent operations, controlling risks through a full-process AI risk management model. The loan balance was steadily reduced, maintaining the characteristics of small-amount, dispersed assets.

AI comprehensively penetrated the value chain, and technology export achieved global breakthroughs. In 2025, ZA ONLINE deepened its "OneAI" strategy. The AI mid-platform "Zhong You Ling Xi" became the core engine for business transformation, with large model calls exceeding 2 billion for the year and a multimodal corpus of over 10 billion business-related texts accumulated. AI technology has been fully integrated across the entire insurance process, enhancing both efficiency and user experience in product design, marketing, underwriting, service, and claims settlement. The technology export business achieved significant results domestically by providing intelligent solutions for multiple industries, with AI capabilities achieving cross-sector "breakout" applications. Internationally, Peak3 completed a major core platform update, entered several new markets, secured multinational cooperation projects, and won multiple international awards, gaining recognition from global authoritative institutions.

A milestone breakthrough in international business: ZA Bank achieved annual profitability. As Hong Kong's first officially launched digital bank, ZA Bank achieved a historic breakthrough in 2025: its retail user base exceeded 1 million, making it the first digital bank in Hong Kong to reach this scale. For the full year, it achieved net revenue of approximately HK$892 million, a 62.7% year-on-year increase, and a net profit of HK$17.27 million, achieving annual profitability for the first time. Its non-interest income surged 277.9% year-on-year, the net interest margin improved to 2.69%, and the cost-to-income ratio was optimized to 77.7%. Through innovative products, it has built a one-stop wealth management platform covering diverse categories such as Hong Kong stocks, US stocks, funds, and cryptocurrencies, continuously enhancing user stickiness and market competitiveness.

Brand and channel development accelerated, solidifying the foundation for long-term growth. In 2025, ZA ONLINE prioritized brand building and proprietary channels as strategic focuses. Total premiums from proprietary channels reached RMB 7.557 billion, accounting for 21.1% of total premiums. The average number of policies per paying user increased to 1.9. By collaborating with over 150 large-scale sports events, the company deepened its "sports + insurance" brand image, covering more than 100 cities. In public domains, it leveraged AIGC for mass production of educational content, while in private domains, it utilized over 2,000 user tags for refined operations, continuously unlocking user lifetime value. By year-end, the company had over 300 ecosystem partners, including 33 core partners, forming an ecosystem layout covering multiple scenarios such as e-commerce, mobility, and health.

Looking ahead to 2026, ZA ONLINE will continue to stay true to its original aspirations, empowering the entire insurance value chain with technology. It will deeply understand and continuously meet customers' increasingly diverse needs for insurance protection and financial services, embarking on a new chapter of growth through innovation and breakthroughs. ZA ONLINE is confident that, relying on its forward-looking strategic layout and profound technological积淀, the company will navigate steadily towards the vast future of deep integration between insurance and AI.
