On March 27, CPIC held its 2025 performance briefing. Board Secretary Su Shaojun stated that the company consistently places high importance on investor returns. Last year, CPIC introduced a medium- to long-term dividend policy linked to operating profit for the first time. The annual dividend proposal put forward by the board this time, which includes authorizing an interim dividend arrangement, is based on a prudent assessment of the company's operational and capital conditions for 2026 and beyond. This is an active step to improve the shareholder return mechanism, aiming to effectively implement the medium- to long-term dividend policy and further optimize the company's dividend distribution schedule.

Regarding the 2025 dividend, Su Shaojun pointed out that the board recommends a distribution of 1.15 yuan per share, representing a 6.5% increase in the cash dividend compared to the previous year, slightly higher than the current period's profit growth rate. He stated that the higher dividend level is also consistent with the dividend policy, and the growth rate of the dividend per share is primarily based on the performance of the current period's operating profit.

Su Shaojun also mentioned that if shareholders approve authorizing the board to decide on the 2026 interim dividend plan, the board will make an efficient decision and implementation based on the company's actual operating performance in the first half of 2026.

"The interim dividend is an integral part of the company's full-year profit distribution. The board will adhere to its consistent prudent principles, consider the total annual dividend amount comprehensively, fully account for current period performance and full-year business development needs, reasonably set the ratio between the interim and final dividend, and determine the specific amount for the interim dividend," Su Shaojun said. "We also hope that by establishing a clearer, more stable, and regular shareholder return mechanism, we can better signal to the market the company's commitment to sustained and stable operation."
