Core Viewpoint - The growth in premium income does not necessarily lead to an increase in insurance service income, as evidenced by the 2024 annual reports of listed insurance companies [1][2]. Group 1: Insurance Service Income Trends - In 2024, the insurance service income of listed insurance companies showed divergence, with property insurance companies experiencing growth while life insurance companies saw declines [2][4]. - Among the five major listed insurance companies, property insurance firms like China Ping An, China Life Insurance, and China Pacific Insurance reported increases in insurance service income, while life insurance companies such as China Life and New China Life experienced declines [4]. - Specifically, the insurance service income for property insurance companies grew as follows: China Re Property Insurance at 485.22 billion yuan (up 6.1%), Ping An Property Insurance at 328.15 billion yuan (up 4.7%), and China Pacific Property Insurance at 191.40 billion yuan (up 8.1%) [4]. Group 2: Impact of New Accounting Standards - The implementation of the new insurance contract standards has changed how insurance income is reported, shifting from "insurance business income" to "insurance service income" [3][5]. - The difference in accounting treatment means that premium income is recognized upon receipt, while insurance service income is recognized over the service period, leading to potential discrepancies between the two metrics [5]. - The transition to the new standards has resulted in a lack of clarity and focus on the insurance service income metric, which is more complex and involves various assumptions and calculations [6][7].

However, China Re Life reported a significant increase of 23% [2][3]. Group 2: Impact of New Accounting Standards - The implementation of the new insurance contract standards has changed how insurance income is reported, shifting from premium income to insurance service income, which is recognized based on the progress of service delivery rather than upon receipt of premiums [4][5]. - The difference in accounting treatment means that while premium income can be recognized immediately, insurance service income is recognized over the service period, leading to potential discrepancies between the two metrics [4][5]. - The insurance industry is still transitioning to the new standards, and there is a lack of understanding and focus on the insurance service income metric among industry participants [5][6]. Group 3: Future Outlook - As the industry adapts to the new standards, the importance of insurance service income is expected to increase, particularly for life insurance companies that are moving towards high-quality development and should focus on value premiums rather than just scale [6][7]. - The complexity of the insurance service income metric, which involves various assumptions and calculations, has contributed to its lower visibility compared to traditional premium income [5][6].
