2 | “Marketing expenses” are defined as expenses related to marketing activities aimed at promoting sales and gaining market share. Such expenses are included in selling expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income attached hereto.

Commenting on the fourth quarter and 2016 financial results, Mr. Chunlin Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Fanhua, stated, "We had exceptional growth in 2016, during which our insurance premiums increased by 49.7% year-over-year to RMB14.6 billion and net revenues increased by 66.2% year-over-year to RMB4.7 billion. We generated positive operating income for two consecutive quarters in the second half of 2016, which boosted total operating income in 2016 to RMB14.0 million. These positive results were primarily due to the significant growth of our life insurance business, effective cost controls and the substantial progress we have made in implementing multiple strategic initiatives, including the expansion of our sales network, enhanced cross-selling efforts, the upgrade and promotion of CNpad and the initiation of several marketing campaigns."
"The outstanding performance in 2016 shows the success of our business strategies. In 2017, we plan to further increase our profitability by investing more on our life insurance business. We remain optimistic about our growth momentum, and expect to generate no less than RMB180 million of operating income in 2017."

The growth of the P&C insurance agency business was primarily due to a38.6% growth in insurance premiums as a result of enhanced marketing efforts.
