Industrial Bank Co.,Ltd. demonstrated steady progress and deepened transformation in its 2025 annual report, with distinctive features becoming more pronounced. The bank maintains its foundation in industrial finance, builds its unique identity through technology finance and green finance, enhances its operational core via digitalization and intelligence, and explores new opportunities through internationalization and comprehensive services. By the end of 2025, Industrial Bank's total assets reached 11.09 trillion yuan, a 5.58% increase from the previous year. Annual operating revenue amounted to 212.741 billion yuan, up 0.24% year-on-year, while net profit attributable to shareholders was 77.469 billion yuan, reflecting a 0.34% growth. The non-performing loan ratio stood at 1.08%, with a provision coverage ratio of 228.41%. Asset quality remained generally stable, with the NPL ratio maintaining a relatively low level of 1.08%. Over the past five years, the NPL ratio decreased from 1.25% to 1.08%, while the provision coverage ratio increased from 218.83% to 228.41%.
Industrial Bank has clearly defined the next phase of its development with five key themes: digitalization and intelligence, green transformation, international expansion, comprehensive services, and ecosystem development. Aligned with the modernization of the industrial system, the bank continues to highlight its four key strengths: technology finance, green finance, wealth management, and investment banking. It strengthens integrated financial services along the innovation chain, supply chain, equity chain, capital chain, and talent chain. Specifically, Industrial Bank's strongest traditional advantages remain in green finance and corporate industrial finance. In 2025, both technology finance and green finance loans exceeded the one trillion yuan threshold. The president's statement further disclosed that outstanding balances in technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, and medium- to long-term manufacturing loans grew by 18.47%, 19.05%, 7.22%, and 14.91%, respectively, compared to the previous year-end.
Industrial Bank consistently emphasizes its "commercial banking + investment banking" model, defining it as a key strategic driver. Both major investment banking FPA and transformation investment banking FPA achieved growth exceeding 7%. Key products such as non-financial bond underwriting, offshore bond underwriting, merger and acquisition financing, and syndicated loans maintained leading positions in the industry. Through a combination of "loans + bonds + M&A + syndicated loans + asset management," the bank has deepened its full-cycle corporate services.
Regarding artificial intelligence, Industrial Bank positions AI with high strategic importance. In practice, the bank's AI applications focus on core banking areas such as risk control, approval processes, data-driven credit enhancement, and operational management. It continuously iterates digital risk control models and a comprehensive risk monitoring system, refining its specialized "technology flow" evaluation model. Simultaneously, the bank actively explores AI application scenarios, accelerating the development of key projects like intelligent due diligence and intelligent review to enhance smart risk control capabilities. Industrial Bank's AI approach prioritizes reshaping the bank's core operations rather than focusing on flashy front-end interactions. It embeds AI into processes such as "commercial banking + investment banking," industrial finance, risk control and approval, and data-driven credit enhancement, making the operational system faster, more accurate, and more replicable. This differs from some banks that emphasize smart customer service or digital humans; Industrial Bank's AI focus leans more toward "industrial finance + risk control."
In terms of global expansion, the bank is actively developing capabilities around corporate internationalization, industrial chain出海 (overseas expansion), cross-border finance, and transaction banking services.
