At the 2026 interim results conference held today, NCI's President and Chief Financial Officer, Gong Xingfeng, addressed the company's rapid growth in the first half of the year. He attributed this impressive performance to the dedication of the "NCI professional iron army," who, on the occasion of the company's 30th anniversary, carried forward the corporate culture with a spirit of gratitude and commitment to customers. Their relentless efforts and hard work have resulted in these outstanding achievements.
Gong highlighted three key drivers behind this success. First, growth has been fueled by an upgraded workforce. During the first half, the team demonstrated improvements in both quantity and quality, with significant gains across individual channels, high-performing teams, and bancassurance institutional networks and outlets, alongside corresponding increases in productivity.
Second, growth has been driven by a strategic channel approach. This year, alongside increased investment in individual channels, the company elevated the strategic role of its bancassurance channel, establishing a dual-core channel and dual-core driven strategy. This approach has diversified the company's growth sources and yielded substantial results.
Third, growth has been supported by management empowerment. The company has strengthened its diversified product offerings, optimized its business structure, and enhanced grassroots operational capabilities through the "Foundation Strengthening Project 3.0." Initiatives such as the "back-office capacity enhancement" and "front-line renewal" campaigns have invigorated organizational vitality.
"The third quarter is indeed more than half over, and at this point, there is pressure, especially given the high comparison base from last year. However, I would rather say we are even more confident in completing this year's full-year plan and achieving this year's overall growth," Gong stated.
He concluded: "We will continue on the high-quality development path of dual enhancement in scale and value, and dual optimization in structure and efficiency. We will focus our efforts on the core factors that best drive value growth, execute our work effectively, and implement the modern marketing concept of 'Product + Service + Scenario + Technology.' We will continuously refine our business structure and improve our team's productivity, keeping our focus on long-term, high-protection, and high-value business growth. Through these efforts, I am confident we will sustain our positive development momentum and consolidate the achievements of our high-quality growth."
