"We will divest assets with low profitability and value below target, and focus our resources on core, high‑growth areas, steering the Company toward a leaner, healthier, and more sustainable future."
He explained that the operating results of Fosun's various business segments indicate that Fosun's core businesses remain solid. The pharmaceutical business has continued to make breakthroughs in its global expansion, with multiple products launched overseas and several promising pipeline products.

Following Fosun's results announcement, one of the market's key concern is the Company's future impairment pressure. At the results presentation, Wang Qunbin, Co-Chairman of Fosun International, stated that from the Group's perspective, prudent and adequate provisions were made, taking into account the actual operating environment of each impaired asset, the valuation cycle of the industry in which the asset operates, the projected growth and development of these assets and industries, and in accordance with the principle of prudence and the requirements of
Wang Qunbin stated that while Fosun is confident in its financing capabilities in the future, and the domestic and international financing landscape and costs have improved significantly, Fosun remains committed to "streamlining operations and strengthening the business", focusing on development, and continuously improving its ratings.
High-quality breakthroughs in multiple core business areas
Regarding Fosun's key business directions, Chen Qiyu, Co-CEO of Fosun International, stated that Fosun will continue to focus on its core businesses to drive medium-to long-term value growth.
First, it will focus on its innovation and globalization strategies to pursue better and more sustainable value. Second, Fosun's robust global insurance business will drive healthy profit and cash flow growth, serving an important cornerstone for Fosun's future profit growth. Third, it will continue to advance the asset-light and global operations of its culture and tourism business to better leverage resources and drive efficient growth. In addition, it will strive to upgrade and achieve breakthroughs in high-quality assets and businesses such as Yuyuan's gold and jewelry business, Shede Spirits, and Hainan Mining.
Xu Xiaoliang, Co-CEO of Fosun International, stated that despite the high degree of uncertainty in the global macroeconomic environment last year, Fosun continued to optimize its financial structure and steadily enhanced business operations by focusing on its core businesses. It also achieved high-quality breakthroughs in multiple core business areas.
Revenue from its four major business segments—Health, Happiness, Wealth, and Intelligent Manufacturing—saw steady growth, overseas revenue continued to increase, innovation became a core competitive advantage, globalization accelerated further, and global operational capabilities continued to strengthen. Going forward, Fosun will continue to deepen its strategic focus, strengthen its global operational capabilities, intensify innovation efforts, and invest in the future with greater composure and determination to achieve long-term, sustainable value growth.
Fully confident in the Company's future development

"I believe Fosun has the ability to navigate through cycles. While we may face some short-term challenges, these efforts will position Fosun for steadier, longer-term growth," said Guo Guangchang.
