Commenting on the financial results of first quarter of 2020, Mr. Chunlin Wang, chairman and chief executive officer of Fanhua, stated, “As the global economy was hit hard by the COVID-19 outbreak, the life insurance sector in China has also been severely affected, with a low single digit growth of 2.7% year-over-year in life insurance gross written premiums (“GWP”). Despite this challenging environment, Fanhua still managed to generate RMB2.4 billion GWP in our life insurance business segment, representing a growth of 9.3% year-over-year, outpacing industry growth. Of the RMB2.4 billion, first year premiums (“FYP”) achieved RMB499.3 million and renewal premiums were RMB1.9 billion while annualized premiums equivalent (“APE”) were RMB307.7 million.

“Affected by the pandemic, a large number of enterprises at home and abroad have suffered serious losses, with many struggling to survive. Against this market backdrop, we beat expectation with operating income of RMB60.0 million and recorded net operating cash flow of RMB134.6 million during the quarter. The results vindicated the snowballing effect of our profit model, and reflected the strength and resilience of our business model.

“We previously expected the Covid-19 outbreak would be nearly over in China by the end of March and that our business could start to recover rapidly in the second quarter of 2020. However, as the pandemic spread rampantly around the world, a full resumption of work and production in China has also been delayed. Business activities originally planned for April such as agent recruitment, trainings and product seminars could not be carried out offline as usual, which significantly impacted our results for the second quarter of 2020, especially for the sales of higher ticket savings-typed products as face-to-face meetings are important in customers’ decision-making process.

“Since the outbreak, Fanhua has responded with effective and vigorous countermeasures, including conducting our operational activities digitally by leveraging our strength in digital technologies and introducing several supportive policies for our employees and agents. We are pleased that these measures and policies have helped keep our employees and agents united and motivated. Since the beginning of May, our agents across China have gradually resumed all kinds of offline trainings, agent recruitment and sales activities.

“Based on our preliminary assessment, we remain optimistic that we will be able to outpace industry growth and achieve positive quarter-over-quarter growth in the second quarter of 2020, with APE to be no less than RMB350 million and operating income no less than RMB70 million. 

“As the insurance market is a crucial part for China’s plans to become a financial powerhouse, we believe that the underlying growth trend of the Chinese insurance market remains unchanged in the long run. In addition, risk awareness has been significantly enhanced among Chinese consumers during this unprecedented health crisis, which is expected to significantly drive the demand for insurance products. We believe we are well-positioned to benefit from such growth opportunities.

“Despite the uncertainties caused by the pandemic, we are confident that we will be able to remain profitable with stable operating cash flow. As such, management reiterates that we will maintain our regular dividend policy of $0.25 per ADS for the remainder of the year.”

Financial Results for the First quarter of 2020

Total net revenues were RMB722.6 million (US$102.1 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 25.6% from RMB971.7 million for the corresponding period in 2019.

• Net revenues for the life insurance business were RMB625.2 million (US$88.3 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 27.2% from RMB859.2 million for the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease was mainly due to the decline of 42.5% in first year commission from RMB670.2 million to RMB385.2 million, offset by the growth of 27.0% in renewal commissions from RMB189.0 million to RMB240.0 million as a result of the accumulation of renewal business and high persistency ratio.  Revenues generated from our life insurance business accounted for 86.5% of our total net revenues in the first quarter of 2020.
  
  
• Net revenues for the P&C insurance business were RMB25.0 million (US$3.5 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 34.4% from RMB38.1 million for the corresponding period in 2019. Revenues for the P&C insurance business are mainly derived from commissions generated from Baowang (www.baoxian.com). The decrease was primarily due to the cessation by certain insurance companies in underwriting several popular accident insurance products distributed through Baowang (www.baoxian.com). Revenues generated from the P&C insurance business accounted for 3.5% of our total net revenues in the first quarter of 2020.
  
  
• Net revenues for the claims adjusting business were RMB72.4 million (US$10.2 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 2.7% from RMB74.4 million for the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease was mainly due to the decline in auto-insurance related claims adjusting business, offsetting the growth in our medical insurance-related claims adjusting business. Revenues generated from the claims adjusting business accounted for 10.0% of our total net revenues in the first quarter of 2020.

Total operating costs and expenses were RMB662.6 million (US$93.6 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 21.6% from RMB845.2 million for the corresponding period in 2019.

• Commission costs were RMB490.9 million (US$69.3 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 26.6% from RMB668.7 million for the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease in commission cost was mainly in line with the decrease of life insurance business. 
  
  
  • Costs of the life insurance business were RMB427.4 million (US$60.4 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 28.9% from RMB601.5 million for the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease was in line with the decline in net revenues generated from our life insurance business. Costs incurred by the life insurance business accounted for 87.1% of our total commission costs in the first quarter of 2020.
    
    
  • Costs of the P&C insurance business were RMB16.7 million (US$2.4 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 32.1% from RMB24.6 million for the corresponding period in 2019. The costs of the P&C insurance business mainly represent commission costs we incurred for operating Baowang (www.baoxian.com). The decrease was in line with the decrease in net revenues generated from our P&C insurance business. Costs incurred by the P&C insurance business accounted for 3.4% of our total commission costs in the first quarter of 2020.
    
    
  • Costs of claims adjusting business were RMB46.8 million (US$6.6 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 9.9% from RMB42.6 million for the corresponding period in 2019. Costs incurred by the claims adjusting business accounted for 9.5% of our total commission costs in the first quarter of 2020. The increase was due to the growth in our medical insurance-related claims adjusting business, which has a relatively lower margin.
    
    
• Selling expenses were RMB61.3 million (US$8.7 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 5.1% from RMB64.6 million for the corresponding period in 2019.
  
  
• General and administrative expenses were RMB110.4 million (US$15.6 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 1.3% from RMB111.9 million for the corresponding period in 2019.

As a result of the preceding factors, we had an operating income of RMB60.0 million (US$8.5 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 52.5% from RMB126.4 million for the corresponding period in 2019.

Operating margin was 8.3% for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 13.0% for the corresponding period in 2019.

Investment income was RMB8.9 million (US$1.3 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 75.8% from RMB36.8 million for the corresponding period in 2019. The investment income in the first quarter of 2020 consisted of yields from short-term investments in financial products. The decrease in yields from short-term investments in financial products was mainly due to (i) changes in composition of our short-term investment portfolio, with increased allocation to wealth management products issued by banks which offer relatively lower yields as compared to other financial products in the portfolio; (ii) a year-over-year decrease in yields from wealth management products issued by banks; (iii) a decrease in cash available for investment in short-term investment products due to the share buyback program of 2019. Our investment income fluctuates from quarter to quarter because investment income is recognized when investments matured or disposed.   

Interest income was RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 590.9% from RMB0.4 million for the corresponding period in 2019. The increase in interest income in the first quarter of 2020 was mainly due to (i) the increase in bank deposits; and (ii) short-term loans amounted to RMB60.0 million with 10% annual interest rate.

Income tax expense was RMB18.7 million (US$2.6 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 56.4% from RMB42.9 million for the corresponding period in 2019. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was 25.3% compared with 26.0% for the corresponding period in 2019.  

Share of loss of affiliates was RMB12.3 million (US$1.7 million) for the first quarter of 2020, compared with share of income of affiliates of RMB25.4 million for the corresponding period in 2019, mainly attributable to a loss from CNFinance due to the increase in its provision for credit loss as a result of (i) the impact of the new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model that took into account the deterioration in the economic outlook caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and (ii) an increase in the amount of non-performing loans as a result of the inefficient legal proceedings due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net income was RMB42.8 million (US$6.0 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 71.0% from RMB147.7 million for the corresponding period in 2019.

Net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders was RMB45.8 million (US$6.5 million) for the first quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 68.9% from RMB147.3 million for the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease was mainly due to the decreases in operating income and investment income and share of loss of affiliates.

Net margin was 6.3% for the first quarter of 2020 as compared to 15.2% for the corresponding period in 2019.

Basic and diluted net income per ADS were RMB0.85 (US$0.12) and RMB0.85 (US$0.12) for the first quarter of 2020, respectively, representing decreases of 67.6% and 67.6% from RMB2.62 and RMB2.62 for the corresponding period in 2019.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had RMB1,843.2 million (US$260.3 million) in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

5	In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. This standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses of financial assets held at a reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in order to record credit losses in a timelier manner. ASU 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses.  The Company adopted the ASU No. 2016-13 on a modified-retrospective basis, the cumulative-effect adjustment reduce opening retained earnings balance by approximately RMB7.4million in the statement of financial position as of January 1, 2020.
