KGI Financial Holding (KGI) today (13th) announced its unaudited financial results for January, with profit after‑tax reaching NT$5.645 billion. Earnings per share (EPS) for the month was NT$0.33. KGI Life Insurance, a subsidiary of KGI Financial Holding, has adopted the new IFRS 17 accounting standard starting this year. Under the new framework, reported profits no longer include Gains on Disposals of Stock classified as FVOCI (Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income). Including FVOCI stock disposal gains, KGI Financial Holding reported adjusted profit after‑tax of NT$10.04 billion for January, marking a historical monthly high. The YoY growth rate exceeded 170%. FVOCI gains or losses on stock disposals are not included in current-period profit or loss; instead, they are directly reflected in retained earnings yet still form part of distributable earnings.
KGI Financial Holding stated that the Group has demonstrated a strong “multi‑engine growth” momentum. KGI Bank reported profit after‑tax of NT$820 million in January, up 13% YoY. Supported by loan expansion and rising interest spreads, net interest income continued to grow steadily. With a focus on wealth management, fee income maintained rapid growth, becoming a key driver of profitability. Meanwhile, Taiwan’s stock market was highly active in January, with the index rising 3,100 points and average daily trading volume reaching NT$979.9 billion. KGI Securities capitalized on this favorable environment, driving growth across brokerage, wealth management, proprietary trading, and underwriting businesses. Profit after‑tax for January was NT$2.818 billion, representing 300% YoY growth. Both subsidiaries achieved record‑high monthly profits, providing a solid foundation for the Group’s dividend distribution capacity.
In the life insurance business, KGI Life Insurance, in line with IFRS 17, focused on long‑term and protection‑oriented products to strengthen its Contract Service Margin (CSM) reserves, while foreign‑currency and investment‑linked products remained the core sales drivers. New contract premium income in January reached NT$9.7 billion, up 65% YoY, marking a five‑year high and driving a 13% increase in new contract CSM. With precise asset allocation and gains from the strong Taiwan stock market, KGI Life Insurance recorded profit after‑tax of NT$2.451 billion in January. Including FVOCI stock disposal gains of NT$4.266 billion after‑tax, total profit reached NT$6.717 billion, approximately 2.9 times that of the same period last year, reflecting a significant surge in profitability.
KGI SITE launched the KGI Taiwan TOP 50 ETF (009816), the first Taiwan equity ETF with an “automatic dividend reinvestment” mechanism, targeting the growth potential of Taiwan’s top 50 companies.
