Dear investors and analysts, good morning, everyone. Welcome to today's annual results announcement. Due to pandemic, it's a pity that we cannot have a face-to-face communication. But we are still very honored and pleased today, and we would like to share with you our annual results, especially our business operation and the strategic development. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to, first of all, share with you the financials in 2021. As we all know that last year for the whole group, and we have successfully addressed the many challenges, for example, the resurgence, both in China and outside China and also the volatility in the capital market and also the uncertainties for the geopolitical situation, we continue to keep on our resilience. And we have already seen the recovery and also the pickup, and we have also set up our core strategic capabilities but with very good results for our strategic growth in 2021, and we have achieved a total revenue of CNY 161 billion, up by 18%. And we have the profit amounting to more than CNY 10 billion. Then for the industrial operating profit. And in total, it amounted to more than CNY 10 billion, up by 30%. Well, in this regard, and I believe that it isn't about our core profitability and also our core competency in terms of the revenue and the profit and also the operating profit, you can see in terms of the CAGR, it is more than 10% in 10 years. And here, I would also like to highlight, not just the financial numbers. At the same time, we also believe that some of the indicators for our sustainability. First of all, it is the total investment of our size and technology innovation last year for the whole group. And in terms of the innovation and R&D and the total investment is CNY 8.9 billion. And in China, we rank [ around 20 ]. Here, you can see that it covers a different industries, health and happiness, wealth and also manufacturing. And we have also reaped very good fruits. Here, you can see we have more than 1,500 authorized invention patents. At the same time, we have more than 500 new products under R&D. And then in terms of overseas revenue and thanks to our globalization and it is also growing dramatically. So you can see the overseas revenue amounted to more than CNY 67 billion covering more than -- or around 30 countries. And here, you can see that we have around 396 million operational members, up by 11%. Of course, for different members in terms of loyalty and also the interaction, et cetera, are still yet to be included. It represents our fundamental. And next, I'm going to share with you more details and also by our 2 CEOs. And also let's take a look at our revenue for our 4 business segments in terms of health, including pharmaceutical, devices, diagnostics and health care services. And also, we have the health, including insurance, asset management, Hive investment. And also Happiness, including brand consumption, tourism and culture; as well as Intelligent Manufacturing. You can see that they have achieved a double increases. It means that on top of the performance in 2020. So here, you can see that the growth rate is more than 20%. And also in the second half of last year and based on the first half of last year, you can also see the growth of more than 20%. It demonstrates that we have overcome a lot of difficulties and forge ahead. So you can also see all these detailed numbers on the slide. Let's take a look at the next slide. So let's take a look at our 5 core subsidiaries. And so for these top 5 contributors, including Yuyuan, Fosun Pharma, Fosun Insurance Portugal, Peak Re and FTG. So they accounted for around 79%. And also for our Fosun Pharma, you can also see the growth rate is 28.8%. And you can see that FTG is greatly impacted by the COVID-19, but they started to pick up last year. And we can also see it grow by more than 31%. And then for Peak Re and you can also see they continued to move ahead. And you can also see that and we haven't seen very high growth of both Peak Re and Fosun Insurance Portugal. And we have also developed some new domains and with very good results and for Easun you can see that they have also kind of growing dramatically by more than CNY 1.5 billion. And then for the Hainan Ming, and they grew by CNY 1.3 billion. And also for time [indiscernible] and they have also improved dramatically by more than CNY 1.2 billion including a [indiscernible] and also for our sports group. And of course, we still have some pressures. For example, for some individual real estate projects impacted by the macro economy overall speaking for the entire group. You can see that in terms of the profit and income on the rise. We still have very steady capital in terms of the debt structure. And in our financial report. And in terms of the active and fundraising [indiscernible] during the reporting period, including overseas syndication loans and amounts to more than CNY 33 billion. And also for the cash and bank balances and term deposit. It amounted to more than CNY 96 billion. We continue to optimize our debt structure. We have the average cost of debt of 4.6%. Here, you can see that we made a further optimization of the cost of debt. And in the previous year, it was [ 4.8% ]. And thanks to a very good share price and also our continued growth and added value for our [indiscernible] operation and at the end of last year. And you can see that our NAV is HKD 28.1, up by 10% versus the previous year. And in terms of leverage ratio, it continues to trend down. At the end of last year and you can see it was 53.8%, down by 0.5 percentage points. And I also believe that we have achieved very good results. And actually, at the same time, we are very keen on the continuous and implementation of financial strategy. First of all, it is the optimization of our data structure and in terms of equity financing and also the transparency of portfolio. And in terms of the capital structure, we have made a lot of efforts. And here, you can see that over 2 years, and we have achieved a very good balance of investment and divestment. And we have already achieved 3 digits for the divestment. And we also encourage our subsidiaries in order to strengthen our capabilities to capture the momentum for M&A. That is the controlling and shareholder, for example, taken the Fosun Pharma, and they have made an upgraded and they have acquired an Antejin 73.01% of their shares, Antejin. And another M&A for our H&A. And also in September last year, they have also acquired another smaller private bank. And on January 1 this year, and the name of this bank is changing to HAL. So here, you can see that they have secured the position in German. And here are some of the examples of R&D and also M&A. So for Mr. [indiscernible] by, our CEO in this sector, you can see a very long list of these upgrading and M&A projects. At the same time, we are also very active in the exit from these nonstrategic and noncore assets. And we have also seen very stable rating from Moody and Standard & Poor. And also in the Europe market, and we are the only Chinese and private enterprise to issue more than [ EUR 1 ] bonds with different maturities. So we successfully issued the first Chinese private enterprise and POE USD bond in Shanghai Free Trade zone. And we also issued a 6-year USD bond with a coupon rate of 5%, which has the longest maturity in the existing USD bond portfolio. And then Fosun Insurance Portugal completed its first issuance of USD 500 million with more than 10-year maturity subordinated capital debt. Then for the equity financing, we have also made a lot of achievements. And you can also see we have been [indiscernible] enhance the transparency of an asset valuation. And for our portfolio companies. And we have more than 160 billion for the book value. And we have also introduced the third-party investor. And then our investors can have a clear picture of our valuation. And take a Sisram Med for example. You can see we issued the private placement in July last year for Fosun Care, we completed the new funding in early 2021. And yesterday, Lanvin Group announced that we have a merger with Primavera Capital [indiscernible]. So it is still in the process. And it is highly expected. Then for Fosun Sports Group, we have also introduced our U.S. investors as well. And also for our JEVE, and we have also completed the new bond of funding. So for our whole group, we are running very stably both internally and externally, in the capital markets, and it is highly recognized in the market. And we believe that we can provide a better dividend for our shareholders. And here, you can see that we -- over the past 14 years, we have a cash dividend amounted to HKD 22.7 billion. The Fosun shares and buyback accounted of HKD 4.24 billion in total after being listed. So here, you can see that our long-term stock performance outperformed the Hang Seng Index and Hang Seng Composite Index and especially last year for the whole year. And in total, we spent around HKD 1 billion to buy back the stocks. So that is also the acknowledgment by our management. So that is the introduction to our financial performance. So for more details, and I think I'm more than willing to answer your questions in the next session. So now I would like to give the floor to our 2 CEOs to talk about our business and also for future growth. So next, I would like to invite our co-CEO, Chen Qiyu.

And for Easun Technology and JEVE Power, you can see how they have developed rapidly throughout 2021. And the next one, this is the dashboard for it. So since 2015, 2016 till now, we have achieved a turn around.

So apart from this call and also Hainan Mining, intelligent manufacturing will have some unlisted companies. And for instance, as in case in here, we have [indiscernible], well acquired the company. It is a leader in the fire retardant globally and it's deeply rooted in China and serves the global market.

As mentioned by Mr. Guangchang Guo for Fosun International and with our very stable performance results. And we have demonstrated our resilience and also capability and against the risk in 2022. And it marks the 30th anniversary for Fosun. And we feel most happy is that we would continue to make contribution to the society, and we would like to continue to serve our global families. And we really would like to create happier life for families in the world. In order to have an ecosystem for both wealth and happiness and wealth over the past 3 decades. There are also a lot of changes in addition to the market size and also the number of our employees and the business coverage. And we have different priorities in different stages. For example, from investment layout to twin driver and then from China momentum, connecting global resources and 2 Global Plus and China 2-way empowerment. Ultimately speaking, these transformations are going to stay true to original aspiration and mission. While we are changing our tactics, Fosun has also come up with 4 engines and that is FC2M Ecosystem and the FES system, globalization and innovation driven. So these are the propellers for Fosun International to achieve the current results. It is also the guarantee for continued high growth. And last year, Fosun International has identified based on 4 core engines for our future strategic development. So today, I would like to give you more elaboration on these 4 engines. To begin with, and we are going to build our FC2M ecosystem. And we want to have the integration between [indiscernible] and also the link starting from the clients' needs, then we want to make them happy. And on a sustainable way, we want to provide good products and services for them. And for F so it is about and Fosun and family. So that is an F for Fosun. You can see that our ultimate goal is to serve the global families with different structures. And then for the C end, and there are 2 dimensions. One is our client as members, and that is systematic membership. It means that we have to operate our clients as our members in order to provide the best-in-class products and services. At the same time, we have to have a different in classification from members for consumption and for employees, for corporate members, and we can continue to provide innovation in order to make them happy and satisfied. At the same time, until [indiscernible] entries to these or access to these members and will also be interconnected with each other. Therefore, the M end that is about innovation and R&D. Over the past years. And you can see that -- and we have already come up with some good products. And for example, and [indiscernible] has also grown by 126% amounting to more than 1.6 billion are the new opportunities for the patients with cancer. And also our CAR-T products have also been listed. And in the commercial and also the universal insurers and then for America and also Fosun Care has also launched the high-end senior care insurance. And then we have also have a better supply chain and flexible control. And we want to make sure that we can have a breakthrough technologies. And the flexibility means that it is more customized and also elastic production and ordering system. And therefore, the FC2M. And you can see that we have launched the 2 membership systems and the Fosun Health and Fosun Alliance step-by-step. And these different platforms and the scenarios can be integrated together with all our members and just within half a year and we have already launched more than 15 brands from 35 industries for Fosun Alliance and 20% of our active members can choose from this and Fosun Alliance. In terms of globalization, and we are the practitioner and also the beneficiary of globalization. Over the past 3 years, you can see we continue to upgrade our globalization capabilities. And here, you can see for both globalization and localization and we have been seeing new engines. And by the end of last year, the sales revenue from overseas countries in the regions and accounting for 42%. And we have our business coverage in around 30 countries in the regions and the total revenue of China [ global tooling empowerment ] is more than CNY 10 billion. So here, you can see we have both existing growth, for example, H&A acquired bank. So it consolidated its position in Germany. And Lanvin group has also acquired [indiscernible] from Italy, and we have seen the growth from 0 to 1. And then [indiscernible], and it has also set up in Indonesia coke production base. And in terms of the globalized capital and market financing and just now our 2 colleagues already mentioned that Lanvin Group in 2021. And also this year, I've also made the new announcement to be listed in the New York Stock Exchange. And then also Fosun Hive Singapore Capital Management Center was also established to connect with global capital and empower the domestic and international hive projects. And we have also seen R&D is also improving for example, for the Fosun Pharma, we have also achieved the American authorization. So you can see it is also highly acknowledged in the international communication. Zoom in the scientific and innovation for Fosun. And we also dedicated to scientific innovation last year, and we invested in CNY 8.9 billion for the innovation in order to empower our multiplier growth. At this moment, we have more than 1,500 licensed patents. And at this moment, we also have more than 500 R&D products and in major cities and across the world, and we have also set up a different R&D center. And in order to deliver our core technologies for example, the first and the biosimilar and also the first in the CAR T therapy in China. And then not long ago and after the Beijing Olympic Games and the special weather [indiscernible] and hasn't been used in Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Next page, Fosun until now in terms of industrial operations and also investment there are a lot of success stories. But at the same time, and we didn't really have very good summarization of our experience. Step by step, we have developed this in FES. Fundamentally speaking, we want to have a customized management system to go forward to this thing is also our experience of best practice of Fosun over the past 3 decades. And we hope that we can continue to power our high-speed growth. Here, you can see that we have a multiplied growth and also entrepreneurship ecosystem growth, lean operation and risk management for these 5 modules, and we have developed more than 100 professional tools. And also more than 50 core enterprises have launched their various talent programs. It is then translated into practice. And on an ongoing basis, we will become our engines. And we will continue to summarize our experience and continue to evolve our FES. So let's also take a look at our ecological organization. And in order to implement the strategy and we need to have the guarantee from our organization to set up a system and we need to have a 3-dimensional organizational structure over the past 1 year. Here, you can see we have upgraded our organization structure. And we have our full committees: overseas operations, science technology innovation ecosystem and FES committees in order to better and build and also facilitate our core engines. And based on this on top of the management committee, and you can see we want to fully stretch ourselves vertically, for example, really. So you can see that we have vertical business, including business units; and for horizontal, and we have now general business competitive. We also have functional back office in order to support both the vertical and horizontal business. With this structure, let's also take a look at our lineup, and in this ecosystem and for different dimensions, and we need to have the partners with entrepreneurship and a different node. And then they can also be fully integrated to each other. And you can also see that currently, we have more than 140 global partners and then also 240 industry partners and 350 functional line partner and 30 innovation partners. And we hope that in the future, we can have 300 global partners. And then it is a believed that with the leadership by all these partners, we can have better synergies. And also let's take a look at our key targets in addition to our partners. And in order to improve our fighting spirit, we also have to ask the team with financial entrepreneurial spirits for our key talents and in different positions and the domains, and then we can capitalize on and maximize their values, for example. And we hope that we can have more than 3,000 future entrepreneurs in the mid-tier. And we also need to have 30% of the young talent in order to be more sustainable. We also need to have more than 100 top scientists in the Fosun ecosystem in order to improve our innovation in science and technology and then also in order to synergize and energize our system. And based on the current system and in terms of the goal-driven mechanism and the battle assurance and talent development, we have upgraded our mechanisms. For example, we have 1 plus 2 plus 7 strategic planning mechanism and also 361 multiplier growth. So that is the goal to achieve 30%, 60% or even 100% for different portfolio companies. We also have the dual-tracking mechanism for KPI and OKI. So we have a very clear and also very transparent target. And at the same time, we have dynamic authorization mechanism in order to make sure that we can ensure that these programs and procedures can be implemented smoothly. And with a holistic talent development mechanism, we hope that we can improve their morale. For example, we have a rotation system and also have a different dimensional partnership mechanism. So they can also be promoted or demoted. We want to have a very sound cycle for talent. At the same time, we can also push forward the core business and also core talents. So next, let's take a look at the corporate culture. And the enterprise is the tree, and the culture is the root. And for our strategy and over the past 3 decades, that is always about the self-improvement, teamwork, performance contribution to the society for the past year. And we would like to continue to do the aiding and that we have to bear in mind, the customer is always the priority. That is also our original aspiration. So we also put a lot of emphasis on the ESG. So you can see very good results in terms of the environment. And based on the national carbon-neutrality strategy, we set up our Carbon Neutrality Committee to help our member companies to define the strategic responses to carbon neutrality, and we want to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and also carbon peak before 2028. And we continue to launch our rural doctor project until the end of last year, and the rural doctor project has already covered more than 70 countries in China and helped more than 24,000 rural doctors. And then we have also launched more than 200 million artesunate injections to help our kids and also the people in Africa. And also we are fighting the epidemic, both in China and outside China. And you can always see our humanitarian measures and the projects. So that is about the spirit of ESG, which is implemented across the group. And with the ESG guidelines, it will be embedded in our development for our ecosystem. And you can also see some of our results of ESG, which is in all ways acknowledged by the capital market and the rating agencies. So in terms of the MSCI ESG Rating, and you can see that it has been increased from under 3b to 2a the last year. And also for the Enhance Corporate Sustainability benchmark and the Hang Seng Index and also FTSE/Russell, you can see that our rating on ESG is continuing to grow. So here, you can see what we have done in terms of strategy and corporate governance. Here, I would like to thank you all once again because due to the pandemic, you are still with us for our online announcements. And I think for our investors, thank you so much and for your consistent support and also the support by and people from all walks of life. And thank you for your support. We can continue to grow over the past 30 years in order to create happy life for the global families. That is the mission for all Fosuners. I think including the families and for all our investors and as mentioned by Mr. Guo in his message in the shareholders letter. And actually, no matter what is happening, and this is our permanent pursuit for a happy life, the essence. And what we are going to do in Fosun is to deliver more work and love to the society. And happiness, maybe it is about the happiness and health and also wealth, but it is a very abstract idea. But we believe that in the wave of the Fosun industries. And we can see more tangible and happiness. Maybe it is in the Club Med and travel or maybe it is just a [indiscernible] and at a restaurant or maybe it is the Yescarta therapy or maybe it is a train ticket and whole of the Hangshaotai railway. So we believe that at Fosun, that is a look of happiness in the next 3 decades. So we will continue to strive for our global families. And thank you for the presentation. So now I would like to open the floor for questions.

Now I'd like to cause our Q&A session, and we have a precollected submit questions. And I will propose the question on behalf of our analysts and also investors. Okay. So the first question goes -- comes from [ CEO Peter ] from [indiscernible] Securities. So Peter asks, since Ukraine and Russia war, actually, we see hedge disruption and also changes in your market. We now have some global footprint, especially in Europe. So Mr. Guo, what is your view on Europe's situation on well Fosun's -- Fosun International businesses? And also what is the next stage of planning for the market?

Guang chang Guo

executive
#18

Well, thank you. Thank you for asking this question. Well, from my perspective, if we look at the Fosun International footprint in EU market, actually, it is quite sophisticated right now. So currently, we'll focus on industrial operation. And we are still in the middle of the pandemic. And compared with the pandemic, actually, the war in Europe actually presents less influence than pandemic for us. However, if the war persisted then, of course, in the future, it will have a certain impact. But if you look at pandemic actually, it has a huge blow for our fashion industry and also for our Foliday businesses, FPG's businesses. And however, if we look at the past performance, we show the resilience. We always show the strong rebound in no time, no matter for our fashion businesses or for our tourism businesses, they all rebound really rapidly in no time. So as we gradually out of the woods for pandemic, especially in Europe, the Europe market will have a rapid rebound and also a quick movement. So if you look at Fosun International right now, of course, we focus on investment, but we are not only focused on investment. So we have the twin driver, and another driver for us is industrial operation. So in the past phase of our development, we focus on globalization and also our global expansion. And in the current stage, and basically, we focus on industrial operation. And on top of our globalization capability and also to shore up of our FES capability and also innovation capability, technology, R&D capability. So these are my views for this question. And if we look at our overall journey, so in the past 30 years, every year is not easy for us. But still we stay resilient. And also, we accumulated capabilities to empower the future. We already have incubated a lot of companies from 0 to 1. And also, we have made ourselves as a sophisticated global operators, a global company. Well, in the next stage, basically, we will continue to focus on industrial operation in order to shore up our noble partnership mechanism and also to shore up our R&D investment. Last year, our R&D investment, as you can see, is CNY 8.9 billion. So everything well around our strategy, that is to put our family clients, our family consumers at the center. And we're quite sanguine about the future. Of course, it will not be a smooth ride. We were faced with some, well, changing challenges. So we need to stay true to ourselves and also to adhere to our core competency and also to adhere to our predetermined strategy and then to put one foot in front of another. So here, I'd like to thank our investors and also our shareholders for their long-term support for Fosun International.

Well, thank you, Mr. Guo. And actually, Mr. Guo has already covered the second question. The second question I have on hand is from [indiscernible], the Chief Analyst of [indiscernible]. His question is we saw Fosun has covered 30 years of journey, and you have a change in strategy. So since 2019 actually, Fosun International, again to talk about in-depth industrial operation plus investment as the train driver. And actually, we have a high expectation for the transition of the strategy of Fosun International. So could you talk about the implementation of the strategy? And also, what is the current situation, whether there is milestones you can share with us? And also what is the outlook for the evolving strategy on going forward? What is your expectation and also outlook for the future? So I'd like to pass this question to Mr. Wang.

Qunbing Wang

#20

Good morning. My name is Wang Qunbin. Well, thank you. This is a great question. So many people talk about the Fosun International transition, and our train driver is investment plus in-depth industrial operation. And Mr. Guo has already covered that. So for Fosun International, we always adhere to individual investment and industrial operation since day 1. However, in the recent years, we began to talk more about industrial operation. And also we talk about the best practice, for instance, the FES management system and also the rulebook. And we began to have deep analysis of the tools that are available. And as Mr. Guo said, well, now we have the FES ecosystem building. And also we have keep a close tab on globalization and also on our R&D. So you asked about a milestone when we have something to showcase. So actually, if you look at our annual report this year, one, for example, because as you can see, the CAGR growth rate for our profit and the revenue of our industrial operation. Well, this year, the CAGR is 30% -- around 30%. And we achieved such a mind-boggling number under pandemic and also under the changing environment, international and the domestic environment. And also if you look at our [ CN ] customers, so [ Xiaoliang ] that has covered that. Well, the number is increasing every year. And also after we put feed on top, and we like to not only see the increase in the numbers, but also see the interplay with the [ CN ] customers and to provide them with the accurate and also with the right products in health, wealth and also happiness and also intelligent manufacturing. And also on the other hand, we have never ignored the importance of [indiscernible] And therefore, we see the increase of our R&D investment and to produce more well products for our clients. So after we improve the investment of our R&D, and now we see a diversified pipeline of our products and also portfolio. And also, we have some ecosystem products. For instance, we see the nice interplay between the integrated care and also insurance and also health care, and [ Xiaoliang ] covered all that. So just like Mr. Guo has already covered, ongoing to the future, we'll continue to stay true and also adhere to our slogan, that is self-improvement, teamwork, performance and also contribution to the society and also to provide health, wealth, happiness and intelligent manufacturing products to our 1 billion family consumers. So on one hand, we will focus on our domestic market to be a company that is deeply rooted in China, but also to go beyond China and to have a globalization and also to have in-depth operation in the regions beyond China and also under such a sophisticated ecosystem to make our family consumers happier and also to provide them with our customer experience.

Thank you, Mr. Wang. And the next question also goes to Mr. Wang. It comes from [indiscernible]. His question is as a global capital investor, well, actually, we see greater attention attached to ESG. And also we look at Fosun International, we found that your ranking in terms of ESG is really good. It's amazing. So what is your strategy and as the plans on ESG? So actually, you have more than 100 subsidiaries in all markets in the world. So how could you integrate sustainability and also sustainable development concept into every day of working? And also last year, we see, for instance, the common prospective proposed by the central government and also the increase of input into the social welfare and also well-being. So what is your strategy on riding along the wave?

Qunbing Wang

executive
#22

Well, thank you. This is also a very good question. Fosun International, of course, we focus on -- we attach great importance on ESG. And now people call it as ESG. Actually, since day 1 in our core value, the last part of our core value is contribution to the society. And also since day 1, we've talked about 5 clients: employees, consumers, partners, investors, government and community. And we like to provide various high satisfaction to all these clients and also to shoulder our corporate responsibility on going forward. And actually, since day 1, we have integrated these concepts into our development. And now you call it as ESG. So ESG is a super important dimension when we're considering our performance, our annual results. And also ESG requires patience, requires time, and it cannot be realized overnight. And we are quite lucky because since day 1, it is in our genes, in our DNA. And of course, we optimized this concept and also our daily practice, along with the waves we see in the market. So actually, in our daily work and also in our industrial operation procedures and also processes, we have attached a great importance to ESG and sustainability. And more importantly, we have a mechanism to guarantee the realization of ESG. So we have BOD. And within BOD, we have ESG Committee. So in our C-suite and the management level, we have established such a ESG committee. And also we have the ESG Steering Committee and also the working group. So it includes all the C-suite and also more than 20 departments in Fosun International. And we benchmark ourselves with the top players in the industry, and also we found our gap and then we optimize our practice. So this is really a top-down and also bottom-up process. And through this steering committee and also working globally, we hope that we can really mobilize all the subsidiaries and also our affiliated companies, our partners and really to integrate ESG as a key performance indicator into their dashboard because we know it is a cornerstone for future successful development. So in your question, you also mentioned the central government's proposal that is the common prosperity and also to increase the input for social welfare. And for both an international perspective, well, just like Mr. Guo and also BOD always said that our core value is self-improvement, teamwork and also performance and contribution to the society. And also, as I have mentioned, one of our core clients is our own employees and also community to enhance their satisfaction. And we hope that, on one hand, we can provide them with the products and the services they need. And also, they enjoy -- to make them enjoy working with Fosun, working in Fosun. And also in terms of philanthropy work, in terms of a charity, Fosun International has increased our input. And actually back in 2012, already we have established Fosun Fund, Welfare Fund. And also in the last several years in anti-pandemic campaign in Hong Kong and also in Shanghai and in other regions in China, and we are practicing our slogan, our core value, that is our contribution to the society to shoulder our share of efforts and wisdom and to deliver on our commitment to our 5 key categories of our clients. And in doing that, we can create our added value to the society, to the community and also to the -- well, not only in China but also overseas.

We always say that what is happiness? Well, actually, to work and also to have interpreted with Fosun, you will know, you will understand what is happiness. So now I'd like to switch to [indiscernible] Kari Jon from Goldman Sachs and his question is, so Foliday has received a hedge during the pandemic. However, in H2 2021, Club Med has administrated super strong rebound in overseas market. So I'd like to ask about the rebound situation of Foliday. And also what is your outlook for the future because you now in domestically speaking, we're still in the middle of the pandemic. So we have another wave of pandemic currently in China. So what is the Club Med situation in domestic China? And could you share with us more updated information? And also Beijing Olympic, Winter Olympics has successfully concluded. And Foliday, actually, you have a lot of, for instance, skiing resorts and mainly provided by Club Med. And also in 2021, well, in Canada, in Quebec, and actually, we have the Charlevoix resorts and also in [indiscernible] in Northeastern China region, also we have a newly opened resort -- have a resort from Club Med as well. So could you talk about the outlook for Club Med and also the planning going forward?

Xiaoliang Xu

#24

Well, thank you for the question. And Foliday has also released the annual report. And the last year, actually, its revenue stands at CNY 9.2 billion and also with a 30% year-on-year increase. And we have indeed enjoyed a super strong rebound, the overseas market and also has 11% year-on-year growth rate and -- well, CAGR growth rate in the overseas market. And also, actually, in the second half of last year, its revenue is [ CNY 4.6 billion ]. So actually, year-on-year, it is a 180% growth compared with the same period of 2020, and it has recovered 70% of the capacity. And as we can see from this data, actually, we are still not out of the woods of pandemic, but still they are finished with a super fast rebound. And once we see the finish of the pandemic, actually, we can see the shot-up of, for instance, the traffic and also the number of customers and also their consumption power. So we are quite sanguine about the future of the tourism industry. And we believe with the subsiding pandemic, it will enjoy very strong rebound. And if we look at Atlantis. The total revenue is CNY 1.46 billion with a 19% year-on-year growth. And also, we have a wave of pandemic. However, in total, it has -- Atlantis has received 4.7 million of the tourists. So it shows the hard work of our team. On one hand, they are fighting the pandemic, and they keep the whole environment clean. And also, they have a service portfolio, they have service innovation and also continue to improve their customer satisfaction. And only by doing that they can achieve such mind-boggling data of figure. And so many thanks to our team. So all these numbers showcase that first of all, we are quite a sanguine about the tourism market. We believe it has a huge pent-up demand on going to the future. And we believe that the pandemic will sure suppress, and it will embrace its spring well for the tourism market. And also for the Beijing Olympic Games, of course, many investors attach further importance to that as well. So on the Winter Olympics, the government encouraged that we need to develop a skiing market and to encourage more than 300 million people to participate in the skiing resort -- skiing sports. At this moment, and by the end of this year, and we can see that globally speaking, FTG, and we will have 23 skiing resorts. Going forward, FTG by 2024, another 9 skiing resorts will be opened, together with Club Med and Casa Cook. And we are going to expand our landscape in China and also in neighboring countries. Currently, we already see 9 to 11 skiing resorts and hotels. And also, we are developing the Taicang and Foliday town. So that is an open scenario. So that is an indoor skiing center. So with all these, we are very optimistic about the future ice and snow business market. We will continue to be very proactive to accelerate and strengthen this business landscape. And we will continue to bring into play our strength in ice and snow business. We will continue to go further. So that is some of our thoughts. Thank you for listening.

Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your answer. Okay. So let's take a look at the next question. Okay. So the next question comes from Mr. [indiscernible]. His question is that for Fosun. So my question is related with mRNA vaccine of BioNTech. How about yourselves in 2021? We know that the vaccine has been sold in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan regions in 2022. So what do you think about the sales of this vaccine? And we're also very keen to know that and how about the procedures and the process of this and the vaccine approval in Chinese Mainland? And next for Fosun Pharma and 2 on COVID-19 and the medicine has been authorized by MPP. So how about the progress on these 2 medicines? So Mr. Chen Qiyu, would you please answer this question?

Qiyu Chen

executive
#26

Okay. Well, for the COVID-19 vaccine last year and in Hong Kong and Macau and Taiwan region, they have been vaccinated. And in our representation, 22 million doses have been sold and 20 million doses in the Hong Kong and Macau and Taiwan region. And the total revenue amounted to more than USD 500 million in 2022 because we have also seen some of the resurgence of COVID-19, including in Hong Kong region and also in Macau and the Taiwan region. And then the follow-up on vaccination will continue. And since March 5 and the Hong Kong government has also purchased a more fully type for Comirnaty vaccine for another [ 380 trillion ] doses. And the negotiation is still ongoing together with Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. So we are very optimistic about the vaccine. Well, the question is about the approval of this vaccine in Chinese Mainland. And a lot of people are paying attention to that. And at this moment, we are still in very active communication with the authorities. And it is also hoped that with the support and also the guidance by the national authorities. We are also going to facilitate the approval and the registration of this vaccine. And if there is any update, and we are also going to keep the market closely updated. And next is about MSD and also Pfizer COVID-19 medicine and also the authorization from MSD and Pfizer. Actually, in January, we received the authorization. And actually on January 20, MPP announced 27 generic drug producers, which are authorized and to produce the MSD oral medicine against COVID-19. And in order to supply is to have more than 105 low- and mid-income countries, Fosun Pharma is one of the manufacturers for the API and the formulation. On March 17, MPP announced with the authorization for 35 manufacturers to produce the COVID-19 formulation of Pfizer that is Paxlovid. So the authorization will be made to manufacture the COVID-19 and medicine to 95 low-income and mid-income countries. And then 5 domestic manufacturers have received the authorization, including Fosun Pharma. And as authorized the pharmaceutical manufacturer and based on the specific authorizations by MSD and Pfizer and also in combination with our production technologies and also process development capabilities. It is also related with technology transfer and also the development. The reason why they would like to do this on authorizing, because it is hoped that in the mid income and also low-income countries and qualified drugs at a relatively lower price, it can be supplied to them. So later on, then we will accelerate our technology co-development for this and technology transfer in order to minimize the cost and our production facilities will also be optimized. And we are going to choose the best-in-class facilities. For example, [indiscernible] and 7 pharmaceutical and Yuyuan Pharmaceutical because they can comply with the rules and also the requirements by WHO to produce those formulations and manages. And with further approval, it is hoped that such medicines can be supplied to those countries and markets.

Thank you, Mr. Chen. Well, due to time limit, so the last question. Okay. So the question comes from Citibank Securities, coming from George. His question is that for Fosun International. And in terms of the asset and debt ratio is very stable. Last year, we have also seen the decline of cost of debt. So my question for the management in addition to the cost of the debt and also the duration of the debt, what are the further measures or indicators and to ensure the financial stability going forward, which will not be impacted by a single subsidiary and also try to ensure the liquidity and also operation. And another question, we have seen the volatility of the global liquidity and also the uncertainty of the macroeconomic situation. So how about the Fosun's liquidity at this moment? And also at present and also going forward, what are your strategies? And then as the analyst enlisting over the past more than 10 years, and we have seen continued dividend. And we have also seen more share buyback over the past years. So my question is about the dividend distribution and also the strategy for the share buyback. Okay. So I think it's better to ask Mr. Gong Ping, our CFO, to answer this question.

Gong Ping

executive
#28

Okay. Thank you for your question, George. Well over the past several years and in our annual result announcement and then we made a lot of communication with the capital market, we have very consistent financial policies and discipline and for our financial strategy, first of all. And in terms of the credit rating, this is one of our priority. As you can also see that for the Standard & Poor and also in other international rating agencies, we always have a very stable rating result. We always believe that for underlying business, the healthy operation is essential for our sustainability. So in terms on our operation and management, we have a very clear target for operation and financials with the systematic financial budgeting. We want to improve an operation on the ongoing basis in terms of the net profitability and the core profitability and also in terms of the growth of our revenues. And you can see very good results for all our business segments and also over the past years. And we are very dedicated to the balance of our investment financing and also divestment. And we will also proceed with strategic merger and acquisition through our subsidiaries. And we don't do the financial investments or pure financial investments. Actually, we are dedicated to the M&A in the new domains rather than the pure financial investment. If there is no strategic impact, we will also try to exit at the appropriate time. And once the subsidiary can come to a good time, we are also going to do some equity financing. So you can also see some of the new M&A cases, including the Lanvin Group, our recent M&A case. So we want to move forward very stably. That is our fundamental principle. For example, the diversification is a very good hedge against the current capital and the market. And we also have the diversification in terms of both the business and also our stock. That is a very solid chassis. And also, we have a lot of cash and also high liquidity in the group level. So here, you can see we have hundreds of billions of the cash liquidity. And in the secondary market, we also have a nearly CNY 40 billion annual shares. And therefore, we can include the assets of our controlled subsidiaries. So altogether, we have highly liquid assets amounting to more than CNY 116 billion. And for mature subsidiaries, you can see we also encourage the dividend distribution. So you can see continued growth of the dividend distribution over the past years. And the last year, and you can see that we have nearly CNY 5 billion for the dividend. And in the previous year, the CNY 4 billion for the dividend and in 2 years and before last year, the dividend of the distribution is more than CNY 3 billion. So you can see we have a very solid liquidity and also operation. So we will continue to dance with the dynamic in the capital market. We also have the partnership with more than 100 domestic and international banks. So we have very good partnership and also the credit line with these banks. And also, we have the fundraising amounting to more than CNY 30 billion, including the RMB and the USD bonds as well as the syndication loans. So last year, we continued to expand the generation of the debt. So the cost of debt has been declined. The leverage rate is also going down. We have also set up the euro strategy. So this is also about the globalization strategy and the capabilities. So in the global capital market, we are already a truly player. And at the same time, we have also completed our strategic investment in both the primary and the secondary markets. And we are also a renowned active fund management firm. We're also managing our own PE and VC and other funds. And according to the ranking of the fund association, we have very good track record in our rankings and also taking the leadership. And we have very healthy and also sustainable and also very sound performance results with a very solid foundation. I think this is also one of our engine to build our global competitiveness. And I think another question is about our strategy for dividends and distribution and buyback in 2021. And we have HKD 1 billion for the share buyback. Here, you can see that we have fund and fully recognized our long-term investment. And we also believe that for our strategic subsidiaries, we will continue to optimize the shareholding structure. We have increased our sharing of Fosun Pharma. So overall speaking, we have a very consistent financial policies over the past 3 years. And according to our latest resolution by Board of Directors, the dividend distribution for last year have been continuous. So here, you can see that this year, the dividend distribution will be still around 20% in order to pay back to our shareholders. So I think this is my brief answer to this question. Thank you.

Okay. I would like to appreciate your support by all our shareholders and also thank you for your support and for our Board and myself. Personally, I believe that over the past 3 decades of growth inside Fosun. I think at this moment, we can give more feedback to our shareholders. And with our efforts, we have shaped our global capabilities. And I think not many Chinese companies which can have this global capabilities. I think, although we have a season trend of some anti-globalization, but we can see a lot of benefits from globalization. I think such a globalization capabilities can create more values for our shareholders going forward. Next, we made sustainable and continuous investment in innovation, which will also give us more dividend in the future. Take our pharmaceutical, for example, and also other investments in technology innovation become our revenue. They will become our future income and also profit. We will continue to enhance our investment and investment in innovation. So you can see we have very effective results from this investment on innovation. And thirdly, in terms of the industrial operation capabilities, we have already completed the transition from 0 to 1. And in the future, we expect even faster growth. When the pandemic ends, we believe that our fashion and also our tourism business will continue to recover and also grow at a very high speed. I believe that they will also become very important engines to push us forward. And next is about the Fosun investment capabilities, which will empower different industrial segments. And I also believe that our investment capabilities can enable all our industries, which will play a more proactive role. So with the twin drivers, we will continue to create more values for our shareholders. And of course, it will be dependent on every system and also our organization. And of course, it depends on the concerted efforts and by all Fosuners. And we also will develop a better incentive mechanism to make sure that every Fosuner can play their due roles. And with the [ CM ] on the top and over the past years of exploration, our Fosun Health and also Fosun Alliance are also evolving and also for our vertical platforms, and they are already in very good place. So what I would like to communicate with our shareholders, we are going to keep our resilience and accumulated capabilities to power the future. So that is the theme of today's announcement. It can demonstrate our efforts over the past 30 years, and we are also going to be more optimistic about the future. Thank you once again for your support. We will continue to carry forward.
