Deepening the China style HMO Model, Core Businesses Developing Steadily
As China's population ages, demand for senior care, healthcare and related services is shifting from discretionary spending to a basic necessity. During the period, the Company deeply integrated its medical service capabilities with Ping An Group's payment strengths in financial services and insurance, establishing a tiered and classified health benefits system that integrates insurance and health care. For customers with wealth-management insurance products, the Company collaborated with Ping An Life Insurance to launch the "Medical Visit Access" health service plan, providing customers with cutting-edge diagnostics and full-process medical care resources. For high-net-worth customers, the Company launched the new "Private Membership Club", integrating premium medical resources such as cutting-edge diagnostics (e.g. tumor genetic testing and PET/MR imaging) and advanced therapies. For pension insurance customers, the Company upgraded its home-based senior care service system, partnering with Ping An Life Insurance to launch the dedicated "Ping An Home" service brand, promoting a shift from reactive response to proactive health management. As of the end of the reporting period, the average first-year premium per new life policy of Ping An Home customers increased 9.7 times. The number of customers eligible for home-based senior care services exceeded 310,000, while the services covered 140 cities nationwide.
The corporate health management business (B-end) continued to demonstrate strong momentum. Over the past 12 months, the Company served more than 7,700 paying corporate clients, representing a year-on-year increase of more than 73%. The business focuses on large and medium-sized enterprises, supported by dedicated account service teams. At the product level, the Company worked with Ping An Group to build an integrated solution combining "commercial insurance + health insurance plans + health care services," comprehensively covering diverse workplace health needs. At the operations level, the Company provided enterprise-specific solutions by assigning dedicated service teams to key corporate clients and customizing benefits for their employees. At the same time, the Company actively developed its offline three-kilometer service network, "Ping An Circle." As of the end of the period, more than 500 sites had been established, integrating high-quality medical resources to provide corporate employees with one-stop services such as health consultations, health checkup report interpretation, chronic disease management, and medication guidance. The company is also expanding its "Ping An Health Pay" one-stop settlement network.

Continuously Strengthening the "Online, In-hospital, At-home, and Corporate" Service Network to Consolidate Barriers in the Medical, Health, and Senior Care Ecosystem
During the reporting period, the Company continued to enhance its "online, in-hospital, in-home, and in-company" service system to meet demand for online consultation, workplace health coverage and home-based senior care. The initiative integrates online and offline services and strengthens the company's capabilities in providing health management across the full life cycle.

Im Insolvenzkomplex rund um den einstigen Signa-Konzern steht Firmengründer René Benko vor einem weiteren Strafverfahren. Die österreichische Wirtschafts- und Korruptionsstaatsanwaltschaft (WKStA) hat beim Landesgericht Innsbruck erneut Anklage wegen schweren Betrugs und Schädigung von Gläubigerinteressen (betrügerischer Krida) eingebracht. Der 49‑jährige Investor befindet sich seit Januar 2025 in Untersuchungshaft. Die neue Anklage ist nicht rechtskräftig, es gilt die Unschuldsvermutung, Benko bestreitet sämtliche Vorwürfe.
Kern des aktuellen Verfahrens ist eine Garantieerklärung gegenüber einem Investor beziehungsweise den Vertretern einer Privatstiftung, hinter der nach Medienangaben der frühere Strabag‑Chef Hans-Peter Haselsteiner stehen dürfte. Nach Darstellung der WKStA soll Benko eine „wahrheitswidrige Garantie“ abgegeben und die Stiftung dadurch um rund fünf Millionen Euro geschädigt haben. Konkret sollen die vertretungsbefugten Organe der Stiftung durch die Erklärung dazu veranlasst worden sein, etwa 3,3 Millionen Euro an die Signa Holding zu überweisen und auf die Rückforderung weiterer rund 1,7 Millionen Euro zu verzichten.
Der Garantie zufolge sei der Privatstiftung eine Zahlung von in Summe rund fünf Millionen Euro bis spätestens 30. Juni 2024 zugesichert worden. Diese Rückzahlung sei jedoch ausgeblieben, so die Anklagebehörde. Dadurch soll die Stiftung in Millionenhöhe geschädigt und im Gegenzug die Signa Holding sowie eine weitere Gesellschaft unrechtmäßig bereichert worden sein. Neben dieser angeblichen Falschgarantie wirft die WKStA Benko vor, im Zuge der Signa-Insolvenz sowie seiner persönlichen Insolvenz ein Jagdgewehr im Wert von rund 80.000 Euro vor den Gläubigern verborgen zu haben und damit deren Befriedigung vereitelt zu haben.
Benko war über zwei Jahrzehnte eine der prominentesten Unternehmerfiguren im deutschsprachigen Raum. Mit einem dicht verschachtelten Geflecht aus Immobilien- und Handelsbeteiligungen baute er das Signa-Imperium auf, zu dem zeitweise auch die deutschen Warenhausketten Karstadt und Kaufhof gehörten. Steigende Zinsen, höhere Baukosten und aggressive Zukäufe trugen letztlich zur Insolvenz des Konzerns bei. Im weitläufigen Signa-Komplex wird der ehemalige Milliardär von der WKStA unter anderem wegen Betrugs, Untreue und Bankrotts verdächtigt; weitere Anklagen hält die Behörde für möglich.
Der Investor ist bereits in zwei ähnlichen Verfahren verurteilt worden, beide Urteile sind jedoch noch nicht rechtskräftig. Im Oktober 2025 verhängte ein Gericht eine zweijährige Haftstrafe, im Dezember desselben Jahres folgte wegen Schädigung von Gläubigern eine weitere Verurteilung zu 15 Monaten auf Bewährung sowie eine Geldstrafe. Parallel dazu laufen mehrere Ermittlungsstränge, die auch andere frühere Führungskräfte aus dem Signa-Umfeld betreffen. Die jetzige Anklage erhöht den juristischen Druck auf Benko weiter und dürfte die Aufarbeitung einer der spektakulärsten Unternehmenspleiten im deutschsprachigen Raum zusätzlich in die Länge ziehen.
