Guo Guangchang: Fosun Achieves Stable Operations, Aiming for RMB10 Billion in Future Industrial Operation Profit

HONG KONG and SHANGHAI, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On 1 April 2025, Fosun International Limited (HKEX stock code: 00656, “Fosun International”), together with its subsidiaries (“Fosun” or the “Group”) held its 2024 annual results presentation in Shanghai. Addressing investors’ concerns about profitability, Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, responded that the financial adjustment in 2024 is not due to Fosun’s poor operations or decline in market competitiveness, but rather a one-off carrying value adjustment. Nonetheless, Fosun’s operations remain stable and its core businesses are under healthy development.

He stated that, excluding the carrying value adjustment of the Cainiao investment, Fosun’s industrial operation profits and operating cash flows stay healthy and stable. Management must nevertheless remain committed and work diligently to maintain the Company’s steady development in the future.

Guo Guangchang said that, in 2024, Fosun had been advancing the business streamlining strategy and pursuing “strategic advancements and exits, and balanced investment and divestment”. During the year, Fosun promoted the privatization of Fosun Tourism Group and Henlius. While it is unfortunate that minority shareholders voted against the privatization of Henlius, he expressed gratitude to them, as their decision reflects their confidence in Henlius.

“Henlius is one of Fosun’s most promising companies with the greatest potential, and we are optimistic about its potential to achieve product sales of USD10 billion in the future. It represents the future ‘Mount Everest’ of Fosun, symbolizing its most strategic advantages, and we will provide full support for its development. Fosun has always placed a strong emphasis on innovation, as well as on companies and products with significant growth potential. In our approach to ‘strategic advancements and exits’, we aim to divest from heavy assets and non-core operations, while pursuing advancements in innovative industries that offer immense potential and vast opportunities,” said Guo Guangchang.

Regarding changes in the global landscape, Guo Guangchang noted that geopolitics affects all companies, and there is no escaping it. The key lies in how a company responds. The best approach is to develop globalization capabilities. For more than ten years, Fosun has consistently focused on building globalization capabilities, and today Fosun is increasingly reaping the rewards. In 2024, Fosun International’s overseas revenue accounted for 49.3% of its total revenue. On the one hand, Fosun’s globalization strategy promotes Chinese companies and advantageous industries to go global. On the other hand, it helps Fosun’s overseas companies expand globally. For example, Fosun Insurance Portugal currently has 29.8% of its income from markets outside Portugal, with international business profits contributing over 50%. 

In discussing Fosun’s future goals, Guo Guangchang said that Fosun will continue to divest from some heavy assets to reduce financial leverage and maintain “strategic advancements and exits, and balanced investment and divestment”, while deepening its industry operations. In 2024, Fosun’s industrial operation profit amounted to approximately RMB4.9 billion, and the Company aims to double it to reach RMB10 billion in the future.  Achieving this goal will require sustained efforts to drive growth in operating profits, and it is a target that we can strive for and anticipate.

“Fosun will face temporary challenges while making strategic adjustments. This process is not easy. It requires strategic determination and time to do it step by step. Fosun has always persisted in doing the right things, difficult things and things that take time to develop, and we remain dedicated to this commitment,” said Guo Guangchang.

On 30 March, Fosun International announced its 2024 annual results. In 2024, the Group’s total revenue reached RMB192.14 billion; industrial operation profit reached RMB4.9 billion; loss attributable to owners of the parent amounted to approximately RMB4.35 billion, mainly due to an adjustment in the carrying value of the Cainiao investment. Gong Ping, CFO of Fosun International, stated that Fosun achieved an internal rate of return of approximately 34% on the Cainiao investment. Excluding the effect of the carrying value adjustment, the profit attributable to owners of the parent in 2024 amounted to RMB750 million.

Fosun’s management expressed confidence in Fosun’s net profit for 2025 and is committed to steadily enhancing profitability in the future. In the next few years, the Group aims to gradually increase the proportion of overseas revenue in its global operations; progressively reduce the Group’s interest-bearing debts from the current level of more than RMB80 billion to RMB60 billion; and strive to achieve RMB10 billion in industrial operation profit as well as in profit attributable to owners of the parent. Meanwhile, it will continuously improve its operational capabilities, endeavoring to attain “investment grade” ratings.

Dizal Announces DZD8586 and DZD6008 Presentations at 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting

SHANGHAI, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dizal (SSE:688192), a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing novel medicines for the treatment of cancer and immunological diseases, announced today that results of its investigational drug candidates DZD8586 and DZD6008, have been selected for presentation at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, taking place May 30June 3, 2025, in Chicago.

Oral and poster presentations of its DZD8586 study results in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are selected by ASCO Scientific Program Committee. In addition, Dizal will present its 4th generation EGFR TKI clinical data in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) during the conference.

About DZD8586

DZD8586 is a first-in-class, non-covalent, LYN/BTK dual inhibitor with full blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, designed as a potential treatment option for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL).

While Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of B-NHL, resistance can arise through two major mechanisms: the BTK C481X mutation and BTK-independent BCR signaling pathway activation. Currently, there is no targeted therapy available to address both resistance mechanisms, posing an urgent clinical challenge. Although BTK degraders have shown encouraging efficacy in early clinical studies, mutation-related resistance has been reported, and degrader-related toxicities may affect long-term clinical application.

DZD8586 has high selectivity against other TEC family kinases (TEC, ITK, TXK and BMX). By targeting BTK and LYN, it blocks both BTK-dependent and -independent BCR-signaling pathways, effectively inhibiting tumor growth of B-NHLs in cell lines and in animal models. Phase I clinical trial suggests that DZD8586 exhibits favorable PK properties, good central nervous system (CNS) permeability, complete blockade of BCR signaling, and encouraging anti-tumor efficacy with good safety and tolerability in patients with B-NHL.

About DZD6008

DZD6008, is a novel, highly selective, full-BBB penetrant EGFR TKI, designed as a potential treatment option for advanced EGFR mutation positive (EGFRm) NSCLC.

Non-small cell lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene is one of the most common driver genes for NSCLC. Multiple agents can be used to treat patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC who develop resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), but the clinical outcome was not satisfactory. Brain metastases (BM) are a leading cause of death and disease progression for NSCLC. Approximately 23%-30% of NSCLC patients are synchronous BM at their initial diagnosis. Previous studies reported that the 3-year cumulative rate of BMs ranges from 29.4% to 60.3% in patients with mutated EGFR.

Currently, the clinical benefits of existing treatments for third-generation EGFR TKI-resistant NSCLC are limited and DZD6008 is expected to fill the unmet medical needs. DZD6008 effectively inhibits EGFR-mutated tumor growth in cell lines and in animal models. Previous clinical studies have validated the design concept of the molecule and suggest that DZD6008 demonstrates good safety and efficacy in NSCLC patients with brain metastases who had failed third-generation EGFR TKI therapy or multiple lines of pre-treatments.

About Dizal

Dizal is a biopharmaceutical company, dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of differentiated therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and immunological diseases. The company aims to develop first-in-class and groundbreaking new medicines, and further address unmet medical needs worldwide. Deep-rooted in translational science and molecular design, it has established an internationally competitive portfolio with two leading assets in global pivotal studies, both of which have already been launched in China.

Mr. Felix Loh, CEO of Gardens by the Bay said, “Following the highly successful Avatar: The Experience in 2023, Cloud Forest will once again play host to another immersive blockbuster show as part of Gardens by the Bay’s SG60 offerings. Besides life-sized dinosaurs roaming the mist-shrouded landscape, which will captivate visitors of all ages, what sets Gardens by the Bay’s edition apart is a world-first educational showcase. Here, visitors will learn how prehistoric ecosystems once shaped our planet within the setting of a Cloud Forest, and the fascinating way plants have evolved through millions of years from the Jurassic period.”
