yield declined by 0.2 pps year on year to 3.3% mainly because existing assets matured partially and yields to

allocation process with ex ante risk management. In the event of increased market volatility, the Company
will carry out intensified and more frequent stress tests to ensure the security of the portfolio even under
extreme market impacts.

The Company has further strengthened investment rules and processes. To continuously optimize end-to-
end risk management, the Company has standardized its business processes, improved its investment risk
management framework, and enhanced key processes including risk admittance strategies, credit rating,
counterparty and issuer credit facility management, concentration management, risk monitoring, and
emergency management. Moreover, the Company employs technologies to empower the management of
key post-investment matters and constantly optimizes its risk warning platform. Based on consolidated
statements of investment portfolios, the Company monitors comprehensive risk signals covering market
fluctuations, public sentiment, financial changes and so on, and closely watches forward-looking indicators

identification, reporting, mitigation and disposal.

clients and the monitoring and management of key sectors and risk areas. In this way, the Company

asset class(es) to avoid potential indirect threats to the Company’s solvency, liquidity, profitability or
reputation.

looking analysis on credit risk. The Company constantly upgrades its risk monitoring framework and risk
management information system, and improves its risk management databases. In this way, the Company
ensures systematic management of risks in asset-liability matching and investment portfolios.

Group Operating Profit Growth Drivers


Ping An’s retail operating profit is driven by the number of retail customers, contracts per customer,
and profit per customer. The number of retail customers stood at 236 million as of June 30, 2024, with 2.93
contracts per customer. Operating profit per customer amounted to RMB260.37 in the first half of 2024. The
three numbers were under pressure in the first half of 2024 due to macroeconomic challenges including
lackluster effective demand, declining consumer willingness to consume and invest, and heightening credit
risk. However, markets are expected to recover further as macroeconomic control continues to take effect.
Ping An has full confidence in the future, firmly optimistic about the positive long-term fundamentals
of China’s economy and the huge potential of domestic markets. Ping An will continue to advance its
integrated finance strategy to meet customer needs, unlock value from existing customers, and drive
steady value growth.

Health and Senior Care as a New
Driver of Value Growth

Ping An launched an innovative Chinese “managed care model” by


seamlessly combining its online/offline health and senior care ecosystem
with financial businesses in which Ping An acts as a payer, leveraging its
over ten years of operational and management experience in insurance
and health care industries.
Over the past decade, Ping An has been building a health and senior care
ecosystem in China with increasingly significant differential advantages
including “online, in-store and home-delivered” service capabilities, wide
coverage of hundreds of health and senior care service resources, and
access to high-quality proprietary resources. This is very important for
quality assurance purposes. Ping An had approximately 50,000 in-house
doctors and contracted external doctors as of June 30, 2024. Moreover,
Ping An partnered with over 36,000 hospitals (including all top 100
hospitals and 3A hospitals in China), over 104,000 health care management
institutions, and approximately 233,000 pharmacies as of June 30, 2024.
Ping An’s health and senior care ecosystem is creating both standalone
direct value and also significant indirect value by empowering our core
financial businesses through differentiated “Product + Service” offerings.
More than 63% of Ping An’s 236 million retail customers used services
from the health and senior care ecosystem as of June 30, 2024. They held
approximately 3.36 contracts and RMB57,500 in AUM per capita, 1.6 times
and 3.8 times those held by non-users of these services respectively.

ANALYSIS OF EMBEDDED VALUE


The Company has disclosed information regarding EV in this section in order to provide investors with an
additional tool to understand our economic value and business results. The embedded value represents
the shareholders’ adjusted net asset value (“ANA”) plus the value of the Company’s in-force life and health
insurance business adjusted for the cost of holding the required capital. The embedded value excludes the
value of future new business.

In accordance with the related provisions of the Rules for the Compilation of Information Disclosures by
the Companies Offering Securities to the Public (No. 4) – Special Provisions on Information Disclosures
by Insurance Companies, the Company has engaged Ernst & Young (China) Advisory Limited to review
the reasonableness of the methodology, assumptions and calculation results of the Company’s analysis of
embedded value as of June 30, 2024.

The calculation of the analysis of embedded value relies on a number of assumptions with respect to
future experience. Future experience may vary from that assumed in the calculation, and these variations
may be material. The market value of the Company is measured by the value of the Company’s shares on
any particular date. In valuing the Company’s shares, investors take into account a variety of information
available to them and their own investment criteria. Therefore, these calculated values should not be
construed as a direct reflection of the actual market value.

The Standards for Actuarial Practice: Valuation Standard for Embedded Value of Life Insurance (the
“Standards”) issued by the China Association of Actuaries became effective in November 2016. The
Company has disclosed the interim embedded value for 2024 in accordance with the Standards and China
Risk Oriented Solvency System (“C-ROSS”).

The adjusted net asset value of the life and health insurance business is based on the unaudited
shareholders’ net asset value of the relevant life and health insurance business of the Company as
measured in compliance with the Standards. This shareholders’ net asset value is calculated based on the
shareholders’ net asset value as measured in accordance with China Accounting Standards (CAS) and
adjusted for relevant differences including reserves. The adjusted net asset value of other business is based
on the shareholders’ net asset value of the relevant business of the Company in accordance with CAS.
The relevant life and health insurance business includes business conducted through Ping An Life, Ping
An Annuity and Ping An Health Insurance. The values placed on certain assets have been adjusted to the
market values.

Key Assumptions
The assumptions used in the embedded value calculation as at June 30, 2024 have been made on a “going
concern” basis, assuming continuation of the economic and legal environment currently prevailing in China.
The calculation is in line with the Standards and capital requirement under C-ROSS. Certain portfolio
assumptions are based on the Company’s own recent experience as well as considering the more general
China market and other life insurance markets’ experience. The principal bases and assumptions used in the
calculation are described below:

1. Risk discount rate


The discount rate for calculating the value of in-force and the value of new business of the life and
health insurance business is assumed to be 9.5%.

2. Investment return
For non-investment-linked insurance funds, the future annual investment return is assumed to be 4.5%.
For investment-linked funds, future investment returns have been assumed to be slightly higher than
the above non-investment-linked fund investment return assumption. These returns have been derived
by consideration of the current capital market conditions, the Company’s current and expected future
asset allocations and associated investment returns for a range of major asset classes.

Interim Report 2024 Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. 61


Analysis of Embedded Value

3. Taxation
A 25% average income tax rate has been assumed. The percentage of investment returns that can be
exempted from income tax has been assumed to be 20%.

4. Mortality
The experience mortality rates have been based on the China Life Insurance Mortality Table (2010-2013)
and the Company’s most recent experience studies. They are tailored to be product specific and future
mortality improvement has been taken into consideration for annuity products.

5. Other incident rates


Morbidity rate and accident rate assumptions have been based on the industry table or the Company’s
own pricing table. The trend of long-term morbidity deterioration has been taken into consideration.
The loss ratios have been assumed to be within the range of 15% to 100% for short-term accident and
health insurance businesses.

6. Discontinuance
Policy discontinuance rates have been based on the Company’s recent experience studies. The
discontinuance rates are pricing interest rate and product type specific.

7. Expense
Expense assumptions have been based on the Company’s most recent expenses investigation.
Expense assumptions mainly consist of acquisition expense and maintenance expenses assumptions.
The unit maintenance expense was assumed to increase by 2% per annum.

8. Policyholder dividend
Policyholder dividends have been based on 75% of the interest and mortality surplus for individual
participating business. For group participating business, dividends have been based on 80% of interest
surplus only.

ANALYSIS OF OPERATING PROFIT


This section contains the Group Operating Profit and Operating ROE, and Source of Earning and
Contractual Service Margin Analysis of L&H. The Company has engaged Ernst & Young (China) Advisory
Limited to review the reasonableness of the methodology and the calculation results of the Analysis of
Operating Profit for the first half of 2024.

The discount rate used for the measurement of insurance contract liabilities in life and health insurance
business is determined based on observable current market interest rates that reflect the characteristics of
insurance contracts. In order to optimize the match between assets and liabilities, the Company chooses to
classify some debt investments backing the business as debt investments measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income. When measuring operating metrics, we exclude the fair value changes
of debt investments backing life and health insurance business measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income, as well as the financial changes of insurance contract liabilities recognized in other
comprehensive income that may be reclassified subsequently into profit or loss, to reflect the essence of
the Company’s asset liability management, except for the relevant part of the business subject to the VFA.
The financial changes in insurance contract liabilities subject to the VFA are matched with the fair value
changes of the underlying assets backing this type of business. Therefore, no adjustments are made when
operating metrics are measured.

66 Interim Report 2024 Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd.


Operating Profit of the Group
Operating profit is a meaningful business performance evaluation and comparison metric given the long-
term nature of the Company’s major L&H business. Ping An defines operating profit after tax as reported
net profit excluding the following items which are of a short-term, volatile or one-off nature and others:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


• Short-term investment variance applies to Life & Health business excluding the part subject to the
VFA(1). This short-term investment variance is the variance between the actual investment return on
the aforesaid business and the embedded value long-run investment return assumption. Net of the
short-term investment variance, the investment return on the aforesaid Life & Health business is locked
at 4.5%(2). Debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income backing such business
are measured at cost;

• The impact of one-off material non-operating items and others is the impact of material items that
management considered to be non-operating incomes and expenses. Such impact in the first half of
2024 and the first half of 2023 comprised the revaluation gain or loss on the convertible bonds issued
by Lufax Holding to the Company.

Notes: (1) Insurance finance income or expenses of liabilities subject to the VFA match the changes in the fair value of the underlying
items backing such business. Therefore, no adjustment is made when operating metrics are measured.
(2) Operating profit for the current period and the same period last year is calculated based on the end-2023 long-run investment
return assumption (4.5%).

The Group’s operating profit after tax attributable to shareholders of the parent company in the first half
of 2024 was RMB78,482 million, down 0.6% year on year, with an annualized operation ROE of 16.4%. L&H
operating profit after tax attributable to shareholders of the parent company was RMB54,657 million, up 0.7%

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT


Liquidity risk refers to the risk of the Company being unable to obtain sufficient cash in time, or being
unable to obtain sufficient cash in time at a reasonable cost, to repay debts that have become due or fulfill
other payment obligations.

In accordance with international and domestic regulatory requirements, the Group has established a
liquidity risk management framework and guiding principles covering risk appetites and tolerance, risk
limits, risk monitoring, stress testing, and emergency management. Member companies have developed
their own management procedures and liquidity risk appetites, risk tolerance, and risk limits in line with
the applicable regulations, industry practices, and features of their business activities. The Group organizes
its member companies to regularly evaluate liquid assets and maturing debts, and use tools including
stress testing of cash flows to identify risks in advance. The Group and its member companies hold
sufficient liquid assets and maintain stable, convenient and diverse sources of financing to ensure that we
have adequate liquidity resources to tackle possible impacts from adverse situations. Moreover, we have
developed comprehensive emergency liquidity plans for effectively handling any significant liquidity risk
events. In addition, the Group effectively prevents the intra-group contagion of liquidity risk with internal
firewalls.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK


Foreign currency-denominated assets held by the Group are exposed to foreign exchange risks. These
assets include monetary assets and non-monetary assets, such as cash and deposits, bonds, stocks and
funds denominated in foreign currencies. The Group’s foreign currency-denominated liabilities are also
exposed to risks as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates. These liabilities include monetary liabilities
and non-monetary liabilities, such as borrowings, customers’ deposits, bonds payable and insurance
contract liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The Group formulates its allocation strategies for assets including foreign currency assets based on the
Company’s risk appetite, risk profiles of the asset classes, and stress test results. Through measures
including limits management, risk diversification and hedging, the Group keeps foreign exchange risk under
control by continuously optimizing the aggregate foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities as
well as their structures, enhancing overseas asset management, and monitoring the indicator of sensitivity
to foreign exchange risk.

The sensitivity to foreign exchange risk is calculated by assuming a simultaneous and uniform depreciation
of 5% against the Renminbi of all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, as well as
non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value as illustrated in the table below:

June 30, 2024 Increase/(decrease)


(in RMB million) in equity before tax

Net exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates assuming a simultaneous and uniform


depreciation of 5% of all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities
and non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value against the Renminbi (6,871)

If the above currencies appreciate by the same proportion, the appreciation will have an inverse effect of
the same amount on equity before tax in the table.

ENGAGEMENT OF ACCOUNTING FIRMS

Significant Events

Regarding the formulation and implementation of internal control rules, the Company continuously
consolidated outcomes of the upgrade of basic management policies and procedures, adopted exacting
standards, strict accountability and firm discipline, enhanced implementation of policies and procedures,
and promoted operational compliance in the first half of 2024. Firstly, the Company embedded external
regulations in internal rules and prioritized the formulation of policies and procedures. The Company
systematically reviewed policies, rules, regulations and important regulatory documents, and internalized
them into its own policies, procedures and requirements in time to ensure internal controls are rules-
based and evidence-based. Secondly, the Company cleaned up existing policies and procedures and
planned new ones under the overall framework of its basic management policies and procedures. The
Company continuously improved a three-level framework comprising policies, procedures and guidelines,
standardized the formation of policies and procedures, and developed key processes and guidelines.
Thirdly, the Company enhanced the digital management of its policies and procedures, classifying policies
and procedures in a scientific way. The Company kept policies and procedures independent of human will
by embedding them in processes and embedding processes in systems, laying the solid foundations for
high-quality development.

Regarding internal control operations and assessment, the Company strictly complied with applicable
laws and regulations. In response to the calls of regulators at all levels for strengthening compliance
management and preventing compliance risks, the Company continuously optimized its governance
structure and strengthened internal control management. Firstly, the Company’s internal control operations
and assessment covered all businesses, focusing on the development of internal control mechanisms in
key areas. The Company adhered to the principles of comprehensiveness, materiality and objectivity in
internal control operations and assessment. The Company focused on important business units, major
matters and high-risk businesses on the basis of comprehensive and objective assessments of the Group’s
headquarters and member companies of different business types and sizes. In this way, the Company
continuously improved its internal control systems and mechanisms. Secondly, the Company linked
compliance management tools to continuously enhance the effectiveness of internal controls. The Company
strengthened linkages among compliance management tools centering on internal control processes.
The Company updated internal control processes in time according to new regulatory rules, internal
policies and procedures, and business changes to ensure compliance with regulations and company rules.
Moreover, during internal control tests, the Company conducted adequate assessments based on past
regulatory circulars, risk incidents and self-inspection findings. The Company analyzed the cruxes of issues
to eliminate potential risks and continuously improve the effectiveness of internal controls. Thirdly, the
Company conducted classified supervision to oversee the fulfillment of responsibilities for internal controls.
In accordance with internal control assessment plans and in combination with operational risk management,
the Company put forward requirements for classified supervision of its member companies, focusing on
“key business lines, processes and positions.” The Company created a list of responsibilities for issues to
oversee the fulfillment of responsibilities for internal controls. Fourthly, under an issue-oriented approach,
the Company gave full play to the role of internal controls in “addressing existing issues and preventing
potential ones.” Regarding pervasive, predisposing and emerging significant issues and deficiencies
identified in previous internal control assessments, regulatory inspections, violation risk reviews, self-
inspections and self-corrections, the Company thoroughly analyzed their backgrounds and causes, and took
strong measures to address them. With the aim of “addressing existing issues and preventing potential
ones”, the Company established long-term preventative mechanisms to better support its high-quality
development. Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls
over financial reporting for 2023, and issued the Internal Control Audit Report, opining that the Company

98 Interim Report 2024 Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd.


maintained effective internal controls over financial reporting in all material aspects in accordance with
the Basic Norms for Internal Controls of Enterprises and relevant rules. Regarding the monitoring of major
risks, the Company reviewed business processes and conducted risk monitoring focused on key areas.
Firstly, the Company checked the underlying risk profile by closely monitoring “key matters, personnel and
actions” in key areas and organizing risk reviews and behavior monitoring, and coordinated risk disposal
and accountability among internal parties concerned. Secondly, the Company strengthened risk governance
by thoroughly analyzing the backgrounds and root causes of risk incidents, creating risk heat maps, and
reviewing work flows. In this way, the Company drew inferences from existing incidents to prevent risk
contagion. Thirdly, the Company strengthened supervision of its member companies in early intervention
and prevention to ensure compliance with the minimum requirement of “preventing major incidents
and minimizing minor ones” and enhance their ability to tackle impacts of internal and external events.
Fourthly, the Company improved mechanisms to ensure the penetration of operational risk management
and violation prevention into branches, processes, employees (positions), products and systems, providing
important support and solid assurance for its steady development.

Regarding the management of money laundering and terrorist financing risks and sanctions compliance
(collectively the “money laundering risk”), the Company strictly abided by applicable laws and regulations,
and implemented the State’s decision to promote high-quality financial business development and prevent
and mitigate financial risks. The Company improved its ability to fulfill anti-money laundering (“AML”)

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
responsibilities and gave full play to the role of AML in preventing risks and promoting development under
the “risk-based” principle. Firstly, in response to the State’s call to “improve the AML framework for a new
era,” the Company continuously improved AML rules on money laundering risk assessment, monitoring,
reporting and AML information systems and data management to develop more systematic, standardized
and effective money laundering risk management rules. Secondly, regarding core AML obligations, the
Company explored the establishment of an AML quality certification system for financial groups, creating
a whole process from the establishing of standards, the implementation of standards, and certification to
the application of outcomes, focusing on significant risks, major branches, important business lines, and key
employees. Moreover, the Company strengthened independent tests in key areas and conducted special
tests in information security to verify common problems among member companies and the rectification
of their root causes, promoting high-quality development of member companies’ money laundering risk
management. Thirdly, the Company improved AML information sharing systems, norms and platforms.
The Company developed a shared library of over one million pieces of AML risk information with core
tags of customer money laundering risks while ensuring lawfulness, compliance and information security.
In this way, the Company provided multi-dimensional risk information to help its member companies deal
with AML-related core businesses, enabling them to precisely classify customers and manage risks, and
preventing contagion of money laundering risk within the Group. Fourthly, the Company kept a close eye
on the latest sanctions policies and information, improved its sanctions compliance management rules,
optimized existing monitoring approaches and measures, conducted sanctions risk assessments, reviews
and relevant training, and strengthened whole-process management of sanctions risk monitoring to prevent
relevant risks. Fifthly, the Company actively fulfilled its social responsibilities by assisting regulators in
improving mechanisms and operations of the industry’s AML self-discipline organization, supporting the
self-discipline organization in delivering and sharing its professional work outcomes to promote AML
information exchange, cooperation and innovation in the financial industry and across industries. The
Company made contributions to an “AML safety net” by participating in projects in collaboration with
regulators and enhancing education for the public on preventing illegal fundraising in light of the current
situation of money laundering risk.

Significant Events

Regarding the management framework for internal audit and supervision, the Company established a
highly independent, vertical audit and supervision framework. The Company established the Audit and Risk
Management Committee under the Board in accordance with applicable laws and regulations concerning
the corporate governance structure and internal rules including the Articles of Association. The committee,
comprising mostly of the Independent Non-executive Directors and chaired by an Independent Non-
executive Director, is responsible for comprehensive review and supervision of the Company’s financial
reporting, internal audit and control procedures. The Company’s Person-in-charge of Auditing is responsible
for assisting the Audit and Risk Management Committee under the Board in establishing and improving
the internal audit and supervision framework, and guiding and supervising the effective implementation of
audit and supervision policies and procedures. Audit and supervision departments are led by the Person-in-
charge of Auditing. To ensure objectivity and fairness, audit and supervision departments are independent
of business operations and management departments, and are not directly involved in or responsible for
risk management or the design and implementation of internal control systems. Audit and supervision
departments organize internal control monitoring every year to independently assess whether internal
controls are robust, rational and effective and fully cover the Company’s main risk points. Audit and
supervision departments also provide forward-looking suggestions for improvement against audit findings.
The results of internal control audits are reported by the Person-in-charge of Auditing to the Audit and
Risk Management Committee under the Board, and shared with management and compliance departments.
In this way, the Company ensures that internal control deficiencies are rectified in a timely manner and that
the Company’s internal controls are robust and effective.

The Company will conduct internal control effectiveness tests, audit independence tests, and internal
control assessments as planned in the second half of 2024. Adhering to the “risk-based” principle, the
Company will specify internal control requirements for key businesses and processes, and oversee the
fulfillment of responsibilities for internal controls at each level of the organization. The Company will
supervise and strengthen internal control and compliance appraisal to enhance the effectiveness of internal
control and compliance management. The Company will supervise the implementation of internal control
and compliance requirements, and promote compliance awareness among employees through precise
education and communication. By doing so, the Company will continuously improve its internal control
management.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
As of June 30, 2024, the Company held a total of 41.40% equity interest in Lufax Holding through its
wholly-owned subsidiaries An Ke Technology and PAOH. Pursuant to Lufax Holding’s special dividend
plan approved at its 2023 annual general meeting, its eligible shareholders may elect to receive the special
dividend wholly in the form of new shares (the “Scrip Dividend”). An Ke Technology and PAOH elected
for the Scrip Dividend as per the special dividend plan. According to the final allotment result of Lufax
Holding’s special dividend plan, the Group’s aggregate shareholding in Lufax Holding through An Ke
Technology and PAOH increased to 56.82%, and Lufax Holding became a subsidiary of the Group with
effect from July 30, 2024. Furthermore, in accordance with the Code on Takeovers and Mergers issued by
the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong, a possible mandatory unconditional general offer
would be made by An Ke Technology and PAOH (the “Mandatory General Offer”) since their aggregate
shareholding in Lufax Holding increased by more than 2% as a result of their election for the Scrip Dividend
as per the special dividend plan. Depending on the level of acceptance of the Mandatory General Offer,
the Group’s aggregate shareholding in Lufax Holding through An Ke Technology and PAOH may further
increase. The consolidation of Lufax Holding into the consolidated financial statements will not have
material impact on the Company’s financial position and operating results.

On July 16, 2024, the Company announced the proposed issue of an aggregate principal amount of USD3.5
billion 0.875% convertible bonds (convertible into the Company’s H shares) due 2029 under a general

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
mandate, with an initial conversion price of HKD43.71 per H share (subject to adjustments). The convertible
bonds were issued on July 22, 2024 and have been listed and traded on the SEHK since July 23, 2024.

Report on Review of Interim
Condensed Consolidated Financial
Information
To the shareholders of Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd.
(Incorporated in the People’s Republic of China with limited liability)

INTRODUCTION
We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial information set out on pages 105 to
164, which comprises the interim consolidated statement of financial position of Ping An Insurance
(Group) Company of China, Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2024 and the interim
consolidated income statement, the interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the
six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The
Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information
to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim
Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and
presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34. Our responsibility is to express
a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Our report is made solely to you, as
a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume
responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW
We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review
of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Hong
Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists of making
inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and
other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we
would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial
information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Certain subsidiaries enjoy tax preferential treatments. These subsidiaries are not material to the Group.
Except for those subsidiaries enjoying tax preferential treatments, the applicable corporate income tax rate
of the Group for 2024 was 25%.

The amendments to IAS 12 introduce a temporary mandatory exemption from the recognition and
disclosure of deferred taxes arising from the implementation of the Pillar Two Model Rules published by the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The Pillar Two legislation has been enacted or
substantively enacted by 31 December 2023 in certain jurisdictions in which the Group operates, and such
legislation will successively become effective from 1 January 2024. The Group has adopted the amendments
to IAS 12 and the temporary mandatory exemptions.

According to the rules of Pillar Two legislation, low-tax jurisdictions with effective tax rate below 15% may
have a top-up tax impact. There are differences in the computation of effective tax rate between Pillar Two
legislation and IFRS Accounting Standards. The Group is currently in the process of analyzing the potential
impact of the Pillar Two legislation on future financial performance.

40. CLASSIFICATION AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


(CONTINUED)
(2) DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE AND THE FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
The methods used to determine fair value of financial assets and liabilities and the breakdown of fair value
hierarchy are disclosed in the 2023 annual report of the Group. The Group uses the following hierarchy for
determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation techniques:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can
access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly
available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and
those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The
main quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current closing price. Financial
instruments included in Level 1 comprise primarily equity investments, fund investments and bond
investments traded on stock exchanges and open-ended mutual funds;

Level 2: either directly (such as price) or indirectly (such as calculated based on price) other than quoted
prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability. This valuation method maximizes
the use of observable market data and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs;

Level 3: inputs which are based on parameters other than observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The level of fair value measurement is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the
entire measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the entire measurement requires
judgement, taking into account factors specific to the asset or liability.

Valuation methods for Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments


For Level 2 financial instruments, valuations are generally using observable market inputs, or recent quoted
market prices. The valuation providers typically gather, analyse and interpret information related to market
transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources, and through the use of widely
accepted internal valuation models, provide a theoretical quote on various securities. Debt securities are
classified as Level 2 when they are valued at recent quoted price from Chinese interbank market or from
public valuation service providers. The fair value of debt investments denominated in RMB is determined
based upon the valuation results by the China Central Depository & Clearing Co., Ltd. All significant inputs
are observable in the market.

For Level 3 financial instruments, the consideration of being classified as Level 3 is mainly based on the
significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement.

41. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT


(1) INSURANCE RISK
Type of insurance risk
Insurance risk refers to the risk that actual indemnity might exceed expected indemnity due to the
frequency and severity of insurance accidents, as well as the possibility that insurance surrender rates are
being underestimated. The principal risk the Group faces under such contracts is that the actual claims and
benefit payments exceed the carrying amount of insurance contract liabilities. This could occur due to any
of the following factors:

(i) Occurrence risk – the possibility that the number of insured events will differ from those expected.

(ii) Severity risk – the possibility that the cost of the events will differ from those expected.

(iii) Development risk – the possibility that changes may occur in the amount of an insurer’s obligation at
the end of the contract period.

The variability of risks is improved by diversification of risk of loss to a large portfolio of insurance
contracts as a more diversified portfolio is less likely to be affected across the board by change in any
subset of the portfolio. The variability of risks is also improved by careful selection and implementation of
underwriting strategies and guidelines.

The insurance business of the Group mainly comprises long-term life insurance contracts, property

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
and casualty and short-term life insurance contracts. For contracts where death is the insured risk, the
significant factors that could increase the overall frequency of claims are epidemics, widespread changes
in lifestyles and natural disasters, resulting in earlier or more claims than expected. For contracts where
survival is the insured risk, the most significant factor is continuing improvement in medical science and
social conditions that would increase longevity. For property and casualty insurance contracts, claims are
often affected by natural disasters, calamities, terrorist attacks, etc.

These risks currently do not vary significantly in relation to the location of the risk insured by the Group
whilst undue concentration by amounts could have an impact on the severity of benefit payments on a
portfolio basis.

There would be no significant mitigating terms and conditions that reduce the insured risk accepted for
contracts with fixed and guaranteed benefits and fixed future premiums. However, for contracts with
discretionary participation features, the participating nature of these contracts results in a significant
portion of the insurance risk being shared with the insured party.

Insurance risk is also affected by the policyholders’ rights to terminate the contract, pay reduced
premiums, refuse to pay premiums or exercise annuity conversion option, etc. Thus, the resultant insurance
risk is subject to policyholders’ behaviour and decisions.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated
Financial Information
For the six-month period ended 30 June 2024

41. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)


(1) INSURANCE RISK (CONTINUED)
Concentration of insurance risks
The Group runs its insurance business primarily within the PRC. Hence the geographical insurance risk is
concentrated primarily within the PRC.

Assumptions
(a) Long-term life insurance contracts
Significant judgements are required in determining and choosing discount rates/investment return,
mortality, morbidity, lapse rates, policy dividend, and expenses assumptions relating to long-term life
insurance contracts.

(b) Property and casualty and short-term life insurance contracts


The principal assumptions underlying the estimates includes assumptions in respect of average claim
costs, claims handling costs, claims inflation factors and claim numbers for each accident year which are
determined based on the Group’s past claim experiences. Judgement is used to assess the extent to which
external factors such as judicial decisions and government legislation affect the estimates.

Other key assumptions include delays in settlement, etc.

(c) Reinsurance
The Group limits its exposure to losses from insurance operations mainly through participation in
reinsurance arrangements. The majority of the business ceded is placed on the quota share basis and
the surplus basis with retention limits varying by product lines. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are
estimated in a manner consistent with the assumptions used for ascertaining the underlying policy benefits
and are presented in the statement of financial position as reinsurance contract assets or liabilities.

Even though the Group may have reinsurance arrangements, it is not relieved of its direct obligations to its
policyholders and thus a credit exposure exists with respect to reinsurance ceded, to the extent that any
reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations assumed under such reinsurance agreements.

150 Interim Report 2024 Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd.
41. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(2) MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of changes in fair value of financial instruments and future cash flows from
fluctuation of market prices, which includes three types of risks from volatility of foreign exchange rates
(foreign currency risk), market interest rates (interest rate risk) and market prices (price risk).

(a) Foreign currency risk


Foreign currency risk is the risk of loss resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Fluctuations in exchange rates between the RMB and other currencies in which the Group conducts
business may affect its financial position and results of operations. The foreign currency risk facing the
Group mainly comes from movements in the USD/RMB and HKD/RMB exchange rates. The Group sets
limitation to its position of foreign currency, monitors the size of foreign currency position, and limits the
foreign currency position within the threshold set by utilizing hedging strategy.

(b) Price risk


The Group’s price risk exposure relates to financial assets and liabilities whose values will fluctuate as a
result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk),
which mainly include listed equity securities and security investment funds classified as equity financial
assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss, and related insurance contracts with direct participation features.

The above financial instruments and insurance contracts are exposed to price risk because of changes in
market prices, where changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instruments or their
issuers, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.

The Group manages price risks through balanced asset allocation, dynamic portfolio management and
diversification of investments, etc.

(c) Interest rate risk

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interest rate risks facing the Group mainly comes from the insurance segment and the banking
segment.

The insurance segment


Interest rate risk of the Group’s insurance segment is the risk that the value/future cash flows of a financial
instrument (mainly include debt investments classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income) will fluctuate because of changes
in market interest rates, and the value of insurance contract liabilities will fluctuate because of changes in
market interest rates (discount rate). Since most markets do not have assets of sufficient tenor to match
insurance contract liabilities, an uncertainty arises around the reinvestment of maturing assets.

Floating rate instruments expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk, whereas fixed rate instruments
expose the Group to fair value interest risk. The Group’s interest rate risk policy requires it to manage
the maturities of interest-bearing financial assets and interest-bearing financial liabilities by maintaining
an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate instruments. The Group manages the interest rate risk by
extending assets duration, repricing products and adjusting the business structure to match the term
structure and to match the cost and benefit.

41. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)


(2) MARKET RISK (CONTINUED)
(c) Interest rate risk (Continued)
The banking segment
Interest rate risks of the Group’s banking segment mainly consist of transaction account interest rate risk
and bank account interest rate risk.

Transaction account interest rate risk arises from the change in interest rates and product price of the
transaction account resulting from the change in market interest rates, which in turn affects the profit
or loss for the year. The Group mainly manages the interest rate risk of transaction account by adopting
measures such as the interest rate sensitive limit and daily and monthly stop-loss limit to ensure that the
fluctuations of interest rate and market value of products are within the affordable scope of the Group.

Bank account interest rate risk arises from the mismatch of the maturity date or contract re-pricing date
between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Group manages bank account interest
rate risk primarily by adjusting the asset/liability pricing structure, regularly monitoring sensitive gaps of
interest rate, analysing characteristics of asset/liability re-pricing, and using an asset/liability management
system to conduct scenario analysis on interest risk.

In respect of the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss of the Group’s banking
segment, the interest rate risk arising from this portfolio is not significant. For other financial assets and
liabilities, the Group mainly uses a gap analysis to measure and control the related interest rate risk.

41. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(3) CREDIT RISK
Credit risks refer to the risk of losses incurred by the inabilities of debtors or counterparties to fulfill their
contractual obligations or by the adverse changes in their credit conditions. The Group is exposed to
credit risks primarily associated with its deposit arrangements with commercial banks, loans and advances
to customers, financial assets at amortized cost and debt financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income, reinsurance arrangement with reinsurers, policy loans, margin financing, financial
guarantee contracts and loan commitments, etc. The Group uses a variety of controls to identify, measure,
monitor and report credit risk.

Credit risk management


Credit risk of banking business
The banking business of the Group has formulated a set of credit management processes and internal
control mechanisms, so as to carry out the whole process management of credit business. Credit
management procedures for its corporate and individual loans of comprise credit origination, credit review,
credit approval, disbursement, post credit management. In addition, the banking business of the Group has
formulated procedure manuals for credit management, which clarifies the duties of each part in the credit
management processes, effectively monitoring credit risk and enhancing credit compliance.

Credit risks arising from credit commitments are similar to those of loans and advances. Therefore, financial
guarantees and loan commitments are also subject to the same application, post credit management and
collateral requirements as loan and advances business.

Credit risk of investment business


As to debt investment, the Group rates these investments by internal credit rating policies, selects
counterparties with high credit quality and sets strict entry criteria.

The Group’s debt investment mainly includes domestic government bonds, the Central Bank bills, financial
institution bonds, corporate bonds and debt investment schemes, wealth management investments, etc.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Group manages the credit risk for these investments mainly through controlling the investment scales,
selecting counterparties within the financial institutions with appropriate credit quality prudently, balancing
the credit risks and rate of return of investment and considering the internal and external credit rating
information comprehensively.

Credit risk of insurance business


The Group evaluated the credit rating of the reinsurance companies before signing the reinsurance
contracts, and chose the reinsurance companies with higher credit quality to reduce the credit risk.

The limits of policy loans are based on the cash values of valid insurance policies, with appropriate
discounts, and the validity periods of policy loans are within the validity periods of insurance policies. The
credit risk associated with policy loans did not have material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial
statements.

41. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(4) LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk of not having access to sufficient funds or being unable to realize an asset in a
timely manner at a reasonable price to meet the Group’s obligations as they become due.

The Group is exposed to liquidity risk on insurance policies that permit surrender, withdrawal or other
forms of early termination. When surrender, withdrawal or other forms of early termination happens, the
Group determines the amounts that are payable on demand to policyholders in accordance with the terms
of insurance contracts, which are usually the unearned premiums or the cash values of the relevant part of
contracts, after deducting the applicable early termination fees. The Group seeks to manage its liquidity
risk by matching to the extent possible the duration of its investment assets with the duration of its
insurance policies and to ensure that the Group is able to meet its payment obligations and fund its lending
and investment operations on a timely basis.

The banking business of the Group is exposed to potential liquidity risk. The Group utilizes multiple
regulatory methods, establish comprehensive liquidity risk management framework, effectively recognize,
measure, monitor and control liquidity risk, maintain sufficient liquidity level to satisfy various funds
requirement and to face adverse market status. In case of monitoring liquidity risks effectively, the Group
pays attention to the funds resources and diversified utilization, keeps relatively high liquidity assets
consistently. The Group monitors the sourcing and usage of funds, deposit to loan ratio, and quick ratio
on a daily basis. Moreover, when adopting various benchmarks for management of liquidity risk, the Group
compares the expected results against the ones derived from stress tests, critically assesses the potential
impact to the future liquidity risk, and formulates remedial actions according to specific situations. The
Group seeks to mitigate the liquidity risk of the banking business by optimizing the assets and liabilities
structure, and maintaining stable deposits, etc.

41. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)


(4) LIQUIDITY RISK (CONTINUED)
The table below summarizes the remaining contractual maturity profile of the credit commitments of the
Group:

Less than 1 to 3 3 to 12 1 to 5 Over


(in RMB million) 1 month months months years 5 years Total

30 June 2024
Credit commitments (Unaudited) 1,051,598 223,668 579,748 42,668 7,965 1,905,647
31 December 2023
Credit commitments (Audited) 1,127,398 285,355 482,993 43,555 7,668 1,946,969

Management expects the credit commitments will not be entirely used during the commitment period.

(5) MISMATCHING RISK OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES


The objective of the Group’s asset and liability management is to match the maturity and interest rates of
assets and liabilities. Under the current constraints of the shortage of long-term interest rate bond market,
however, the Group does not have sufficient long-duration assets for investment to match the duration of
insurance and investment contract liabilities. As permitted by law regulations and market conditions, the
Group actively invests in preferred stocks and other broad-term duration assets, and continuously improves
the allocation of long-duration assets, considering the requirements for asset-liability duration matching
and revenue-cost matching.

(6) OPERATIONAL RISK


Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failure of proper internal controls on
business processes, employees and systems or from uncontrollable external events. Operational risk in this
context includes legal risk, but does not include strategic risk and reputational risk. The Group is exposed
to many types of operational risks in the conduct of its business. The Group manages operational risk by
establishing and continuously improving risk management framework, formalizing policies and standards,
using management tools and reporting mechanism, strengthening staff education and training.

(7) CAPITAL MANAGEMENT


The Group’s capital requirements are primarily dependent on the scale, products of insurance business,
and the type of business that it undertakes, as well as the industry and geographic location in which it
operates. The primary objectives of the Group’s capital management are to ensure that the Group complies
with externally imposed capital requirements and to maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its
business and to maximize shareholders’ value.

The Group manages its capital requirements by assessing shortfalls, if any, between the reported and
the required capital levels on a regular basis. Adjustments to current capital levels are made in light of
changes in economic conditions and risk characteristics of the Group’s activities. In order to maintain or
adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid, return capital to ordinary
shareholders or issue capital securities.

The Group computes solvency margin ratios and recognizes, assesses and manages related risks in
accordance with the Regulatory Rules on Solvency of Insurance Companies (II), the Notice on the
Implementation of Regulatory Rules on Solvency of Insurance Companies (II), and the National Financial
Regulatory Administration’s Circular on Improving Regulatory Standards for Solvency of Insurance
Companies. The Group was compliant with the requirements of regulatory authorities for solvency margin
ratios as of June 30, 2024.
