China Pacific Insurance (Group) Co ( (HK:2601) ) has issued an announcement.

China Pacific Insurance reported first-quarter 2026 operating income of RMB92.55 billion, down 1.2% year-on-year, with profit before tax falling 11.5% to RMB10.22 billion while net profit attributable to shareholders rose 4.3% to RMB10.04 billion, supported by non-recurring gains. Basic earnings per share increased to RMB1.04 and equity expanded 5.8% to RMB319.60 billion as total assets reached RMB3.23 trillion, though operating cash flow slipped 5.1%, indicating solid capital growth despite pressure on underlying profitability.

Management highlighted that the results are unaudited and prepared under PRC Accounting Standards, with a notable contribution from non-recurring items, including revaluation gains linked to convertible bonds, lifting net profit above recurring levels. For investors and other stakeholders, the figures point to a company that is strengthening its balance sheet and shareholder equity but facing modest top-line and core earnings headwinds, with capital market-related income playing an important role in quarterly performance.
