Against this backdrop, the role of technology has also been elevated from efficiency-enhancing tools to a strategic foundation for navigating economic cycles. As a leading privately owned insurance group in China, Sunshine Insurance (6963.HK) has released its interim results, which not only demonstrate solid financial performance but also clearly outline a digital-intelligence transformation path driven by the dual engines of “robot engineering” and “data engineering”. As of June 30, 2026, Sunshine Insurance recorded gross written premiums (“GWPs”) of RMB90.91 billion, up 12.5% year-on-year, with net profit attributable to equity owners of the parent rising 38.5% to RMB4.69 billion. The value of new business in life insurance business increased by 16.4%, while the property and casualty insurance business optimized the underwriting combined ratio to 98.7%. Behind these numbers, a deep-seated technological transformation spanning sales, services and management is unlocking sustained momentum. Sales Revolution: From “Human-Only” to “Human-Machine Collaboration” The traditional insurance industry has been heavily reliant on human resources, where the capability ceiling of the sales force often defines the upper limit of business growth. Sunshine Insurance is now breaking this constraint through AI agent technology. On the life insurance side, sales robots have been deeply embedded across the entire customer engagement lifecycle. According to the Company, the robot is powered by 13 AI agent platforms and nearly 100 vertical AI agents, covering 7 major categories and 60 to 70 sub-scenarios in life insurance sales. The system leverages big data to precisely generate customer profiles, automatically produce personalized marketing plans and communication strategies, and identify customer conversion intent in real time during interactions. As of the end of the Reporting Period, the robot has completed 263,000 instances of assisted customer management, achieving cumulative converted standard premiums exceeding RMB30 million. On the agency-team side, monthly customer outreach and face-to-face visits by marketers rose by more than 20%, the policy addition rate for existing clients climbed by 12%, and the new-agent policy-writing rate more than doubled. This means frontline agents have gained a reliable “digital advisor”, enabling systematic improvements in their operational efficiency and specialization. Practices in the property and casualty insurance segment have achieved greater scale deployment. Leveraging predictive models, the telesales assistant robot covers approximately 200,000 customer leads daily and steadily supports the daily operations of more than 2,000 agents, delivering a shift from a “scatter-gun approach” to “precision targeting”. Furthermore, the renewal prediction model, based on 75 factors, enables high-precision prediction of the renewal probability for each auto insurance customer. It supports automated quotation and differentiated operation, transforming in-depth cultivation of existing clients from experience-driven to algorithm-driven operations. “Autopilot” Moment for the Claims Value Chain Claims handling constitutes the most critical touchpoint of insurance service experience and a core link in operating costs. Sunshine Insurance’s “claims service robot” is driving automation across this sophisticated workflow. At present, the robot has expanded its service scope from auto insurance to third-party claims, bodily injury, and non-auto health and accident insurance. In the first half of the year, it served 1.09 million customers, provided over 400,000 intelligent assisted responses, and achieved a customer satisfaction rate of 98%. Notably, with the robot proactively tracking vehicle repairs and injury recovery status, the average claim settlement cycle for served customers has been shortened by 10 days. In non-auto insurance lines, such as the student safety insurance and supplementary medical insurance, pilot programs for end-to-end automated processing were launched through multi-agent collaboration.  On the loss-adjustment side, pilot programs have been launched for intelligent assessment of minor vehicle damage claims. Robots can autonomously guide customers through the document upload process. The full behavioral trajectory from claim reporting to settlement can be traced via the operations monitoring platform, laying a data foundation for continuous optimization of claims service. This represents more than efficiency gains; it signifies a redefinition of service standards. Management Empowerment: Dual Leaps from Actuarial Pricing to Frontline Execution Beyond optimizing “the last mile” customer experience, intelligent transformation on Sunshine Insurance’s management side is reshaping the underlying operational capabilities and frontline execution of the insurance business. Risk pricing sits at the core of insurance operations. Built on its “data engineering” foundation, Sunshine Insurance is revamping this core competency. The auto insurance risk pricing robot has completed the construction of a dataset covering the entire process of quoting, underwriting, and claims settlement, reducing data preparation time from 5 days to 1 day and shortening time required to detect anomalies cycle from 8 hours to 1 hour. A closed-loop capability of “automated anomaly inspection + model simulation verification + dynamic solution output” was preliminarily established, enabling actuarial pricing to leap from quarterly-level responses to nearly real-time dynamic adjustments. Meanwhile, the Group has established an integrated plan covering data collection, database construction and data application, and deeply integrated 20 strategic data engineering projects into key business areas. Such foundational investments are transforming data from static resources into fluid, insight-generating strategic assets. In addition, Sunshine Insurance has extended its management reach to the front-line grassroots level. The four-tiered branch management robot empowers grassroots through intelligent agents such as “AI Little Tabulator, AI Little Advisor, and AI Little Designer”. Managers can complete the entire process of tabulation, data querying, and attribution through natural language processing. To date, this system has been deployed across 820 four-tiered branches nationwide, with a cumulative total of 621,000 pushes in the first half of the year. It has standardized and automated management processes that previously relied on manual experience, allowing grassroots managers to conduct routine management analysis at lower cost and greater speed. Conclusion From human-machine collaboration at the sales frontline, to the automated restructuring of the reimbursement cycle, and further to the systematic upgrade of  actuarial pricing and grassroots management, Sunshine Insurance’s technology deployment has moved beyond the initial phase of process digitalization and entered a phase of deep, coordinated advancement characterized by a multi-intelligent agent architecture and dynamic closed-loop data. As China’s insurance industry enters a critical period of high-quality development, Sunshine Insurance’s practice offers a valuable reference case: the barriers to technology adoption are diminishing, and the true differentiator lies in the depth of integration between technology and core business scenarios, as well as the efficiency with which it transforms the operating value chain. An insurance group with total assets of over RMB700 billion has begun recalibrating its strategic direction through data and algorithms, and its next-phase growth trajectory warrants re-evaluation from multiple dimensions.

HONG KONG, Sep 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - 31 August, JF SmartInvest Holdings Ltd (the "Company”; together with its subsidiaries, the "Group" or "We") announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (the "first half of 2026" or the "Reporting Period"). Sound Financial Performance with Contract Liabilities Rise Sharply to Support Future Performance During the Reporting Period, under the dual-driver strategy of “technology + investment research”, the Group continued to advance product innovation, AI application and investment research capabilities, maintaining a stable development momentum.

AI Agent Full-Stack AI Technology System Empowers as Intelligent Investment Advisory Services Enter the Application Stage With “AI+” as its core, the Group focused on the three major pillars of multi-agents, large models, and high-quality financial data to establish a full-stack AI product system, driving the paradigm shift in AI capabilities from “tool-based applications” to an “agent ecosystem”. During the Reporting Period, the number of FinSphere AI Agent users increased by approximately 50.9% year-on-year, with the number of effective interactions reaching 20.335 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 50.5%. The To-C AI Q&A token consumption reached approximately 254.3 billion, roughly 8 times the level in the Corresponding Period, signalling that intelligent investment advisory services have entered the phase of large-scale application. In August 2026, FinSphere AI Agent was officially integrated into Tencent WorkBuddy and Alibaba Qwen Platform, becoming an officially certified securities domain expert on the platforms. In the first half of the year, the Group continued to drive the deep integration of AI technologies with specific business scenarios and product service workflows, extending AI capabilities from single-point products to the full business matrix.

Research and development expenses for the Reporting Period amounted to approximately RMB167.1 million (representing approximately 13.0% of revenue), with 657 R&D personnel. As of the end of the Reporting Period, the Group had 167 software copyrights and patents, representing a year-on-year increase of 28. Upgrading Product Matrix with AI and Quantitative Capabilities In the first half of 2026, the Group continued to deepen its diversified product strategy, and the synergistic effects of its multi-level product system gradually emerged. The VIP products steadily iterated around “AI + Quantitative”, launching the Xingtou Quantitative Platform and introducing multiple quantitative indicators such as the Sentiment Barometer , as well as 6 AI quantitative strategy portfolios.

The listing application was submitted after the receipt of the Stock Exchange’s letter confirming that Xinyi Glass may proceed with the proposed spin-off  of the automobile glass business. With its established operating history of nearly 40 years, the automobile glass business is one of the three business segments of Xinyi Glass, alongside the float glass business and the architectural glass business of Xinyi Glass. In 2025, the automobile glass business ranked first globally by revenue in the aftermarket automobile glass products market. Given its scale of operation and international business coverage, the Directors believe that the separate listing is the most appropriate approach to support the continuous growth of the Automobile Glass Business. The separate listing will also unlock the intrinsic value of the automobile glass business and provide investors in both Xinyi Glass and Xinyi Automobile Glass with greater visibility into their respective business developments. The Directors consider that the proposed spin-off will provide clear commercial benefits to Xinyi Glass and Xinyi Automobile Glass. Dr. LEE Yin Yee (S.B.S), Chairman of Xinyi Glass, said, "Following the proposed spin-off, investors will gain enhanced transparency into the respective business performances and strategic trajectories of both Xinyi Glass and Xinyi Auto Glass. We must emphasize that this spin-off does not signify a narrowing of Xinyi Glass’s business scope; rather, it enables each business unit to sharpen its strategic focus, fully leverage its core competencies, and achieve mutually beneficial synergies. Leveraging our enduring strengths in global footprint expansion, technological innovation, and rigorous cost management cultivated over the years, Xinyi Glass has sustained profitability levels in its float glass and architectural glass segments that consistently outperform industry peers, thereby providing the Group with a stable and robust earnings foundation. Despite the severe headwinds of an industry cyclical downturn, Xinyi Glass has not only successfully maintained solid profitability but has also continued to advance capacity expansion—positioning itself as one of the few publicly listed peers that concurrently demonstrates earnings resilience and robust growth momentum. Benefiting from the gradual commissioning and revenue contribution of our overseas production facilities, the Group’s global market share has been steadily climbing. As of the end of August 2026, Xinyi Glass accounted for nearly 17% of Chinese Mainland’s total float glass capacity in operation, and over 10% of global capacity*. We anticipate a further expansion of our international competitive footprint in the coming years. Looking ahead, Xinyi Glass remains steadfast in its commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and broadening its global market presence. We are strategically positioned to capture greater growth opportunities upon the industry’s eventual recovery, thereby delivering sustainable, long-term value to our shareholders." The proposed spin-off is expected to be implemented by way of distribution in specie (the “XYG Distribution”) of the shares of Xinyi Automobile Glass (the “XYA Shares”), pursuant to which each of the Shareholders (other than those who are not qualified to participate) will receive new XYA Shares for nil consideration on a pro rata basis. In addition, Xinyi Glass will sell its XYA Shares and Xinyi Automobile Glass will issue new XYA Shares as part of the proposed spin-off. Based on the current estimation, the XYA Shares to be distributed under the XYG Distribution would represent 80.0% of the total number of the XYA Shares in issue, and the sale of XYA Shares by Xinyi Glass and the issue of XYA Shares by Xinyi Automobile Glass would represent 14.0% and 6.0%, respectively, of the expected size of the offering. The global offering and the separate listing is managed and sponsored by BNP Paribas Securities (Asia) Limited. Xinyi Automobile Glass provides automobile glass and accessory solutions covering design, development, manufacturing, delivery support and service. Its automobile glass products are sold in more than 150 countries and regions across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, the Middle East and Africa through its sales network and regional sales teams. The automobile glass business is primarily focused on the automobile replacement glass market (ARG) market, while Xinyi Automobile Glass continues to expand its presence in the OEM market. The ARG business benefits from a broad customer base and recurring replacement demand, whereas the OEM business of Xinyi Automobile Glass enables it to participate in new vehicle model development and supply to automobile manufacturers. This business model allows Xinyi Automobile Glass to serve diverse demand drivers across the automobile glass market. About Xinyi Glass Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 00868) Established in Hong Kong and listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in February 2005, Xinyi Glass is one of the largest integrated manufacturers of high quality float glass, automobile glass and architectural glass in China and overseas.

During the Reporting Period, the container segment recorded revenue of RMB21.920 billion, representing a YoY increase of 0.85%, and net profit of RMB272 million, mainly affected by the YoY decline in the price of standard containers and exchange rates. Logistics Services Business: During the Reporting Period, the multimodal transport market environment gradually improved, particularly the container shipping market, where freight rates continued to rise since March. During the Reporting Period, the segment achieved revenue of RMB13.945 billion, representing a YoY increase of 2.70%, and net profit of RMB240 million, representing a YoY increase of 18.81%. CIMC Wetrans actively captured the upward trend by deepening customer relationship management, optimising product mix, accelerating overseas expansion and strengthening operational efficiency.

CIMC Raffles, the main operating entity, achieved an important breakthrough in the international high-end offshore engineering general contracting market by signing China’s first FPSO EPCIC general contracting contract, further enhancing its industry competitiveness. During the Reporting Period, revenue amounted to RMB7.935 billion, representing a YoY decrease of 0.98%; net profit amounted to RMB718 million, representing a YoY increase of 155.52%. In terms of market orders, new orders amounted to US$3.2 billion during the Reporting Period, a substantial increase from US$106 million in the same period last year. As at the end of June, CIMC Raffles had cumulative orders on hand of US$7.62 billion, reaching a record high. In terms of project construction and delivery, in January, the PCTC with a capacity of 7,000 vehicles, “NOCC ADRIATIC”, constructed for a Norwegian shipowner, was delivered 70 days ahead of its contractual delivery schedule; in February, the Norse Energi, the world’s largest fully DC wind turbine installation vessel in terms of lifting capacity, completed its seaworthiness delivery; in March, construction commenced on the first vessel of a new generation of seabed rock dumping vessels built for Van Oord, a leading Dutch offshore engineering company; in April, the fore-body module of the P85 hull was slid onto a barge at the Haiyang base, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent successful major assembly of the P85 project; in May, construction of the VLCC tanker officially commenced, entering the substantive construction stage; and in June, the main upper module structure of the project constructed for Golar was successfully capped, marking a key milestone in the project’s construction. In respect of the offshore engineering asset operation and management business, all offshore engineering assets of the Group currently under lease have been operating normally under their respective lease contracts, and the Group continued to provide high-quality services to customers. Benefiting from the successful lease of the Blue Whale No. 1 platform, increased prices upon the renewal of contracts for multiple drilling platforms, and lower operating costs resulting from refined management, operating profit improved during the Reporting Period.

During the Reporting Period, the Company recorded revenue of RMB362.935 billion, representing a 29% year-on-year increase, primarily driven by the significant revenue growth of its subsidiaries Lenovo and Levima Advanced Materials; net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was RMB2.230 billion, up 219% year-on-year, driven by the recovery in portfolio value of the industrial incubations and investments segment. Excluding the impact of a one-off item, net profit attributable to equity holders of Legend Holdings was RMB5.812 billion, a year-on-year increase of 834%. In the first half of 2026, Legend Holdings remained committed to technological innovation as the key driver for high-quality development and continued to enhance its distinctive technological innovation system. The Company actively drove the coordinated advancement of “anchoring diversified-industries operations in technology-focused core businesses, extending ecosystem coverage through technology innovation funds, and driving the very early-stage industrialization of forward-looking technologies.” This expedited the transformation from scientific and technological achievements into real productive forces, and drove a steady improvement in the Company's core competitiveness, with significant performance growth, laying a solid foundation for the Company’s sustainable development. RMB 10 Billion in R&D Investment, Together with a Solidified Technology Foundation During the Reporting Period, Legend Holdings’ total R&D investment exceeded RMB10 billion, a historical record high for its midyear report. Its portfolio companies continued to deliver steady growth with solid fundamentals. Lenovo capitalized on the surge in hybrid AI, with all three major business segments delivering double-digit revenue growth and reaching record highs for the same period. AI has become Lenovo’s core growth engine, with AI-related revenue increasing by 64% for the same period and accounted for 36% of Lenovo’s total revenue. Levima Advanced Materials posted significant performance growth and made breakthroughs in a number of major projects. Among them, the m-Xylylene Diisocyanate (XDI) project was listed under the National Key R&D Program. Built on Levima’s technical expertise and R&D experience, the PEEK project has entered the construction phase. Both projects are expected to be completed and put into operation in 2027, filling domestic technology gaps. Technology Ecosystem Bearing Fruit, and 12 Portfolio Companies Successfully Listed Leveraging years of dedicated efforts in technology innovation, Legend Holdings has cultivated a robust ecosystem spanning emerging and future industries. This ecosystem is now delivering tangible returns, not only driving significant performance growth for the Company, but also accumulating momentum for long-term development. During the Reporting Period, the industrial incubations and investments segment’s depth of technology asset pipeline and ability to realize value from these assets both improved. In the first half of 2026, the Legend Holdings Family Group supported the listing of 12 portfolio companies. These listed companies spanned sectors including artificial intelligence, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and healthcare. More than 30 additional portfolio companies are currently in the pre-listing pipeline. The Company invested in over 80 technology projects in the first half of the year across frontier fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, optical interconnects, embodied artificial intelligence, chips and semiconductors, biopharmaceuticals, and commercial aerospace. To date, Legend Holdings has invested in over 300 AI-related companies. The Company has also established a systematic presence in other frontier fields, having invested in over 110 companies in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, over 60 companies in sustainable industries and future energy, and more than 50 companies in embodied artificial intelligence. Fostering Industry-Academia-Research Collaborative Innovation and Exploring New Pathways for Commercializing Original Technologies Responding to the call to “accelerate the translation from technological advances into productive forces”, Legend Holdings leverages its Forward-Looking Technology Research Institute to actively promote industry-academia-research collaborative innovation and explore new pathways for the commercialization of pioneering technologies. In the first half of the year, Legend Holdings established the Advanced Photonic Integration Joint Laboratory with a National Key Laboratory at Peking University. Together with the research team, the Company published co-authored papers and filed joint patents, while making preparations to establish a dedicated operating entity. In addition, led by the Chinese Information Processing Society of China (CIPS), and jointly initiated by Legend Holdings and other organizations, the Industry University Research Working Committee of the Chinese Information Processing Society of China was established, focusing on frontier areas of artificial intelligence. The Committee translates real-world industry needs into concrete workstreams. The Company has built a “Covalent Innovation” model that brings real-world industry needs into the earliest stages of R&D, enabling businesses and researchers to jointly set priorities and develop solutions. It aims to create a replicable pathway for translating more creative innovation into new quality productive forces. ESG Practices Gaining Authoritative Recognition, Corporate Responsibility Underpinning the Foundation for Sustainability Legend Holdings prioritizes ecological conservation and green development. Lenovo has repeatedly received authoritative recognition both domestically and internationally in the ESG field. It has retained the highest global 3A rating in the MSCI ESG Ratings and received the EcoVadis Platinum Medal, its highest distinction, for two consecutive years. It was also included in the Fortune China ESG Impact List for five consecutive years. Its green operations continued to deliver strong results: over 90% of the electricity used in Lenovo’s global operations came from renewable energy sources. More than 360 million kilograms of end-of-life products have been recovered and reused. In photovoltaic materials, Levima Advanced Materials operates two major product lines for photovoltaic adhesive film materials, EVA and POE, with an annual production capacity exceeding 350,000 tons. In new energy battery materials, the company has built a comprehensive portfolio. In green investment, Legend Holdings has invested in more than 60 companies across new energy, energy decarbonization and so on. The Legend Star CEO Training Program has been running for over 18 years, nurturing up to 1,429 startup founders with 77 listed companies, 217 national-level specialized and innovative “Little Giant” enterprises, 930 High-and New-Technology Enterprises (HNTE), and more than 460,000 jobs created. Looking ahead, Legend Holdings will continue to closely align with national strategic needs, adhere to the main thread of technological innovation driving high-quality development, steadily improve its distinctive technological innovation system, deepen its focus on technology as its core business, and accelerate the promotion of the transformation of scientific achievements into real productive forces, making unremitting contributions to Chinese modernization and self-reliance and strength in science and technology.

During the Reporting Period, its total revenue reached RMB86.96 billion; profit attributable to owners of the parent reached RMB1.72 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 160.3%; overseas revenue reached RMB49.16 billion, with its share of total revenue rising to 56.5%; total debt to total capital ratio decreased to 55.7%. These figures show that Fosun’s results fall in the upper-middle range of the Company’s profit alert (profit attributable to owners of the parent is expected to range from approximately RMB1.5 billion to RMB1.8 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 127% to 172%) issued on 29 July. This marks Fosun’s return to a growth trajectory following the completion of a systematic realignment of “repairing the roof on a sunny day”. Over the past few years, Fosun has taken a rather unconventional path. Since 2022, in response to the severe market disruption caused by the pandemic, the Company has advanced its business streamlining and core business-focused strategy, divesting assets and businesses and generating cumulative cash proceeds of approximately RMB75 billion. In March 2026, pursuant to the principle of prudence, Fosun made one-off, non-cash impairment provisions and value revaluations on certain real estate projects with impairment indicators and goodwill and intangible assets of certain non-core business segments. The move drew considerable market attention at the time. At the Company’s 2025 annual results presentation at the end of March, Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, explained, “This is about ‘repairing the roof on a sunny day’, allowing Fosun to focus its resources and efforts more effectively on core, high-growth areas.” The market has now responded to Fosun’s “repairing the roof on a sunny day” initiative. From the announcement of profit alert in early March to 25 August, before its interim results announcement, Fosun’s share price rose sharply from HKD3.6 to HKD5.41, representing an increase of more than 50%. The market has gradually recognized and priced in the Group’s “risk clearance” efforts. More importantly, the earnings growth driven by the Group’s businesses has begun to materialize. At the 2026 interim results presentation held in Hong Kong on 28 August, Guo Guangchang said: “The strong results recovery we delivered in the first half of the year reflects the outcome of the strategic adjustments we have made over the past few years. Our ‘repairing the roof on a sunny day’ strategy has paid off, allowing us to put historical burdens behind us. These results mark the beginning of Fosun’s continued progress along a trajectory of steady growth.” Solid Core Businesses, with Pharmaceuticals and Insurance Posting Strong Results First, let us look at Fosun’s core businesses. In the first half of 2026, its four core businesses — Fosun Pharma, Yuyuan, Fosun Insurance Portugal (Fidelidade), and the Tourism segment — generated a total revenue of RMB63.88 billion, accounting for 73.5% of the Group’s total revenue, further demonstrating the results of its core business-focused strategy. Among them, the pharmaceutical and insurance segments delivered particularly strong performance. In the first half of the year, Fosun Pharma achieved operating revenue of RMB20.377 billion. Revenue from innovative drugs recorded a year-on-year increase of 13.84%, with their contribution to pharmaceutical business revenue rising to 33.35%, establishing innovative drugs as a key growth driver. Its innovative biopharmaceutical platform, Henlius, reported revenue of RMB3.5882 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 27.3%, while net profit amounted to RMB430.4 million, up 10.3% year-on-year, sustaining growth momentum in revenue and profit. Commercialization of innovative drugs continued to gain traction. During the Reporting Period, Fosun Pharma had a total of 20 indications of 7 innovative drugs approved for launch both domestically and overseas. With their revenue share on a steady rise, innovative drugs have become the main growth engine driving the pharmaceutical business forward. The insurance segment delivered a stellar performance, with Fosun’s domestic and overseas insurance companies all posting broad-based improvements. Fidelidade’s overall market share in Portugal reached 30.1%, and its international business accounted for 26.7% of its consolidated total business. In the first half of the year, Fidelidade recorded net profit attributable to owners of the parent of EUR165 million, up 23.8% year-on-year, maintaining steady growth. In Chinese mainland, Pramerica Fosun Life Insurance recorded gross written premiums of RMB8.38 billion in the first half of 2026, up 52.2% year-on-year. Net profit reached RMB780 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 270% and exceeding its net profit for the full year of 2025. Fosun United Health Insurance reported a 36.2% year-on-year increase in revenue and net profit of RMB572 million. Peak Reinsurance’s reinsurance revenue and gross written premiums increased by 25% and 11.8% year-on- year, respectively, while net profit after tax reached USD89.70 million. In April 2026, Moody’s upgraded Peak Re’s rating from Baa1 to A3, with a “stable” outlook. Guo Guangchang said at the results presentation: “Integrating our insurance business with industries in which we have established competitive advantages has been a strategic priority for Fosun for over three decades — a critical linkage we have long sought to unlock. I believe we have now achieved it. This integration will significantly strengthen our industrial operational capabilities and future profitability, providing sustained momentum for Fosun’s development.” “Successfully navigating another cycle” is how the market has described Fosun’s latest round of adjustments. A closer look reveals how Fosun has successfully navigated the cycle. On the one hand, the Group has continued to streamline its business to generate cash proceeds. In the first half of the year, the Group generated proceeds equivalent to more than RMB12.0 billion from the divestment of non-strategic and non-core assets. Its total debt to total capital ratio was reduced to 55.7%, while its cash, bank balances and term deposits amounted to RMB61.214 billion. On the other hand, the innovation and globalization strategy that the Group has been pursuing for years has entered a value-realization phase, serving as the core engine driving profit recovery. Integrated Innovation Strategy Bears Fruit Since innovative drugs took off in the domestic market in 2025, Fosun has repeatedly broken into the spotlight, with multiple innovative drug business development (BD) drawing significant market attention. In fact, as the saying goes, “One minute on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage”. This series of innovation achievements is the result of Fosun’s forward-looking innovation strategy established nearly two decades ago. Notably, for more than a decade, Fosun has built a globally integrated innovation system across its core business areas, combining “independent R&D + investment incubation + ecosystem collaboration”, and has consistently made substantial investments in technology innovation. In the first half of this year alone, investment in technology innovation reached RMB4.2 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.7%. In the first half of this year, Fosun saw a series of innovations come to fruition. HANSIZHUANG, independently developed by Henlius, received approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for its perioperative indication in gastric cancer, pioneering a postoperative “chemo-sparing” regimen and making it the world’s first and only anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody approved for this indication. Its core pipeline asset, HLX43, as a potential best-in-class (BIC) broad-spectrum anti-tumor PD-L1 ADC, has demonstrated preliminary clinical efficacy characterized by high efficacy and low toxicity across multiple solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with over 1,500 patients enrolled globally. To date, Henlius has 10 products approved in over 60 countries and regions, and has benefited over 1.1 million patients. In addition, FUMAINING (luvoxmetinib tablets), independently developed by Fosun Pharma, was approved for the treatment of paediatric and adolescent patients with relapsed or refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), continuing to fill the gap in the treatment of rare diseases. In terms of neurodegenerative diseases, Fosun Pharma expanded its global collaboration with AriBio on AR1001, extending its rights to develop and commercialize the product to key markets including the U.S., Europe and Japan. Meanwhile, post-marketing confirmatory clinical trials for sodium oligomannate capsules have progressed steadily, with more than 1,000 patients enrolled as of 31 July 2026. In addition, HT001, an oral NLRP3 inhibitor for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in-licensed by Hengtai Bio, an investee and incubated company of Fosun Pharma, commenced its Phase I clinical trial in Australia. Fosun’s innovation achievements demonstrate the forward-looking nature of its innovation strategy and its ability to identify the right opportunities in R&D. As Guo Guangchang remarked at the results presentation, through years of effort, Fosun has built globally integrated innovation capabilities rooted in China. This distinctive strength of Fosun is expected to create greater value for all in the years ahead. “Fosun has never pursued innovation behind closed doors. Instead, we leverage our resource-integration capabilities and a global perspective to drive smart innovation, bringing together the best technologies, teams and supply chains from around the world to solve real problems. This is how we unlock vast market potential,” said Guo Guangchang. Unlocking Value through Global Operations Globalization has been another forward-looking strategic move for Fosun. Since its listing in Hong Kong in 2007, when many Chinese companies were still focused primarily on their domestic markets, Fosun had already begun expanding overseas ahead of its peers. Nearly two decades later, as a growing number of Chinese companies embrace the view that they must go global or risk being left behind, and seek to capture overseas markets by taking their products overseas, Fosun has already established a profound business presence in more than 40 countries and regions. With local teams operating overseas, it has successfully operated a number of companies within the Fosun ecosystem. “Global operations” have become a defining feature of Fosun’s globalization strategy and a core engine underpinning the development of its businesses. Guo Guangchang said at the interim results presentation that Fosun continues to strengthen its global operational capabilities. On the one hand, it is helping Chinese products and services enter overseas markets. On the other hand, it is introducing high-quality products and services from around the world into China. Drawing on the global resource-mobilization capabilities it has built over the years, Fosun is able to identify high-quality projects and technologies worldwide and rapidly mobilize the resources needed to advance them. In the first half of 2026, Fosun’s overseas revenue reached RMB49.16 billion, accounting for 56.5% of total revenue, up 3 percentage points as compared to the same period of 2025 and marking a record high in the proportion of overseas revenue. In the field of pharmaceuticals and healthcare, Fosun made substantial progress in the global expansion of innovative drugs and commercial business development. Henlius’ HANSIZHUANG was approved for three new indications in the European Union (EU), while HLX11 (pertuzumab injection) was approved in the EU and HLX14 (denosumab injection) was approved in Canada. At the beginning of 2026, Fosun Pharma entered into a strategic partnership with Eisai for HANSIZHUANG, with an aggregate potential consideration exceeding USD300 million, underscoring how the global value of Chinese innovative drugs is being repriced by international markets. In the first half of the year, Yuyuan generated revenue of RMB532 million in Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR in the first half of 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of 285.83%, while revenue from the Japanese market reached RMB306 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.09%. Laomiao has 15 stores in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, overseas markets and duty-free channels. Club Med has also continued to expand its global footprint, with Club Med Urban Oasis Hangzhou Longwu already open and Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari now in soft opening. Leveraging Fosun’s global ecosystem, Fidelidade in the insurance segment has expanded its business from Portugal to Portuguese-speaking countries and markets across Europe, Latin America, and Africa. Its international business now accounts for 26.7% of its consolidated total business, with continued growth in Portuguese-speaking countries. Meanwhile, Peak Reinsurance has maintained steady growth thanks to its global business footprint. The guiding principle behind Fosun’s globalization strategy is “Combining Global Resources with China’s Capabilities”, deeply integrating China’s manufacturing capabilities, service capabilities, and innovation dividends, with global markets.  Starting with leveraging China’s growth momentum to establish its business presence, and progressing to a two-way engagement of “mutual empowerment between China and the world”, Fosun has now entered the 3.0 phase of “global organization + local operations”. In this phase, Fosun “truly operates with a global perspective”, having developed the ability to foster cross-regional, cross-cultural, and cross-organizational synergies within its business ecosystem and support the continued growth of its overseas revenue. At the interim results presentation held on 28 August, Guo Guangchang said: “Fosun’s future development goal is to ‘spur the horse to full speed’.  We have already positioned ourselves on a trajectory of steady growth. Going forward, we will continue to advance innovation-driven and global development in industries where we have established competitive advantages, building on our momentum and accelerating further.” Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

[PR.com] ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Redion Holiday Barometer 2026: Singapore Sets a Global Benchmark for the Most Insured Travelers as Expectations for Travel Support Rise 2026-08-28 · mlpr-acnnewswire · AI, SaaS, Healthcare, Automotive https://www.acnnewswire.com/press-release/english/109546/ SINGAPORE, August 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Singapore has emerged as the world’s most mature travel protection market, with 86% of travelers covered by travel insurance when they travel, the highest rate recorded globally according to the latest Holiday Barometer 2026 report by Redion (formerly Europ Assistance) and Ipsos.  Alongside strong risk awareness among Singaporeans, the findings highlight growing expectations for comprehensive protection for a broader scope of travel risks, with real-time assistance and seamless digital support increasingly viewed as essential elements of the travel journey. As one of the region's most active outbound travel markets with frequent, high-spending travelers and digitally engaged consumers, Singapore offers a glimpse into how traveler expectations are evolving amid growing awareness of global risks. The increasing demand for reassurance through travel protection and assistance is posing a challenge for insurers and travel providers beyond driving insurance penetration towards delivering broader protection, stronger assistance capabilities and more integrated travel solutions that support travelers throughout their journeys. Travel protection has become a standard expectation Singapore ranks highest globally for travel insurance and protection coverage, with 86% of travelers covered when traveling and more than half (51%) intending to continue subscribing to travel insurance in the future. This market maturity is reflected in the types of risks Singaporeans choose to protect against, including loss of personal belongings, transportation accidents and health-related incidents, suggesting that travelers increasingly value comprehensive protection that extends beyond basic policy coverage. Singaporeans also remain among the world’s highest-spending travelers, with an average leisure holiday budget of USD 2,818. Yet affordability and company reputation remain important purchasing considerations when selecting travel protection, indicating that consumers are willing to invest in coverage when it offers clear value, trusted service and meaningful benefits. Virginie Babinet, CEO Travel Insurance & Assistance – Redion Group, said, "Building on the record levels seen last year, the desire to travel remains strong and undiminished, despite tougher trade-offs and the cost of living remaining a top global concern. What is changing, however, is the travel landscape itself. Security considerations are weighing more heavily on destination choices, with decisions increasingly shaped by risk considerations. At the same time, artificial intelligence is now a genuine planning tool for a growing number of travelers worldwide, as demonstrated by the distinct jump in numbers, particularly in emerging and high growth markets." Hassen Bennour, CEO of Redion Asia Pacific, said, “Singapore continues to set the pace for travel protection in the region, with 86% of travelers already covered, among the highest levels in the world. What is changing, however, is what travelers now expect this protection to deliver. Beyond coverage, Singaporeans want broader multi-risk protection, embedded assistance and reassurance that travels with them across every trip. At the same time, artificial intelligence is helping travelers plan faster, but confidence in the final decision still rests with human expertise. For insurers and industry partners, this is where the next opportunity lies: pairing digital speed with trusted human guidance to meet the standards of one of the most demanding travel markets globally." AI and digital tools help Singaporeans travel smarter, but human control still leads Singapore's strong digital adoption is also reshaping how travellers research, plan and manage their journeys. Nearly half (45%) of Singaporeans have used AI in holiday planning or booking, primarily to research destinations, compare travel options and build itineraries. A similar proportion (48%) would consider allowing AI to make bookings on their behalf, provided they retain the ability to review and approve decisions before purchase. The same trend is emerging in travel insurance. While the use of AI to compare travel insurance products remains relatively limited today, many travelers (47%) expect to rely on it more in the future because of the convenience and speed it offers. Interest is also growing in digital services that complement insurance policies, including emergency assistance, 24/7 customer support, real-time alerts, mobile access and digital claims services. The implication is evident that AI is preferred as a tool in the planning process, but decision-making and the trust that comes with it still needs a human checkpoint built into the journey. Rather than replacing human involvement, the findings suggest that travelers want digital convenience supported by visible human oversight, combining the speed of technology with the confidence of expert guidance. Frequent outbound and experience-driven travelers expect reassurance throughout the journey Singaporeans remain among the region’s most active travelers. More than 9 in 10 take at least one leisure trip annually, while the majority (84%) intend to travel internationally, despite persisting geopolitical uncertainty. Travel is increasingly experience-driven, with nearly 7 in 10 preferring city destinations, citing relaxation, exploration and local food and cultural discovery among their key motivations. Combined with high travel spending, these behaviors reflect a market that increasingly prioritizes quality experiences alongside value. As travellers invest more in their trips, expectations around protection and support naturally rise. The research found that concerns around natural disasters, epidemic outbreaks, terrorism and travel disruptions continue to influence travel decisions. Rather than discouraging travel, these concerns are driving demand for greater reassurance, flexibility and support before, during and after each journey. This creates opportunities for insurers and travel providers to embed safety, assistance and peace of mind into the overall customer journey as enablers of worry-free travel experiences. With most travelers taking their longest trips during the year-end period, particularly in November and December, the final quarter remains a critical window for travel providers to engage consumers through premium offerings, bundled experiences and integrated protection solutions. As expectations around travel continue to evolve, Singapore's world-leading level of protection coverage underscores a broader shift in how travellers view insurance and assistance. Increasingly, travellers are seeking protection that delivers peace of mind throughout the entire journey, supported by digital convenience, responsive assistance and trusted expertise whenever they need it.

(“CanSinoBIO,” 06185.HK/688185.SH) released its financial results for the first half of 2026. The Company reported revenue of approximately RMB 550 million, up 43.8% year on year, while its net loss attributable to shareholders narrowed significantly.  Notably, while demand in China’s vaccine market remains challenging, CanSinoBIO’s international business maintained strong growth momentum, generating overseas revenue of RMB 150 million during the reporting period.  As established products accelerate their expansion into overseas markets, and collaboration models such as technology partnerships and localized industrialization continue to take shape, CanSinoBIO’s overseas business is evolving from a strategic initiative into an increasingly important contributor to the Company’s performance. This reflects the Company’s forward-looking understanding of global vaccine market trends and evolving demand in international markets. At a time when the vaccine industry is facing changes in demand structure, the combination of domestic innovation capabilities and access to international markets is becoming an increasingly important measure of corporate growth resilience. Overseas Growth Accelerates In the first half of 2026, China’s vaccine industry continued to face demand-side pressure. As the target population for infant and young-child vaccination continues to decline, demand pressure on traditional pediatric vaccines has become increasingly visible. “Volume contraction and price decline” has emerged as a widespread challenge across the industry. Based on disclosed financial results across the sector, this pressure appears to be industry-wide. In 2025, Zhifei Biological generated RMB1.187 billion in revenue from self-developed products, up 1.23% year on year. Walvax Biotechnology reported 2025 revenue of RMB2.418 billion, down 14.29% year on year; despite a 53.36% year-on-year increase in batch-release volume for its core 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, revenue remained under pressure. Kangtai Biological reported revenue of RMB1.273 billion in the first half of 2026, down 8.55% year on year. Against this industry backdrop, the growth of CanSinoBIO’s international business is particularly noteworthy. The Company reported overseas revenue of RMB 150 million in the first half of 2026. This growth was driven, on the one hand, by the continued expansion of mature products into overseas markets and, on the other, by the further deepening of the Company’s international partnership models. For CanSinoBIO, this also means that its products, manufacturing processes and quality control capabilities, validated in the domestic market, are beginning to unlock value overseas through more diversified approaches. Meanwhile, the Company continues to advance its international market footprint. Registration filings and commercialization efforts remain underway across Southeast Asia, South America and the Middle East. Menhycia(R) has obtained registration approvals in Indonesia and Argentina, and product supply has already commenced in Indonesia. As more products progress through overseas registration and commercialization, CanSinoBIO’s international business is expected to develop more diversified revenue streams and further strengthen its commercial resilience. From this perspective, CanSinoBIO’s globalization strategy is evolving. Overseas markets are no longer merely destinations for mature products, but are increasingly becoming markets in which products, technologies and industrial capabilities can jointly create value. For an innovative vaccine company, this shift from “exporting products” to “exporting capabilities and systems” creates greater room for long-term growth in its overseas business. Portfolio Upgrades Strengthen the Commercial Foundation Sustained overseas expansion is underpinned by a stable product portfolio and strong technological capabilities. According to the Company’s interim report, domestic revenue continued to grow despite factors such as changes in value-added tax, reflecting opportunities created by ongoing innovation. Menhycia(R), China’s first quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, expanded its indicated population in February to children aged 3 months to 6 years, broadening its addressable population. Meanwhile, iPneucia(R), a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine featuring dual-carrier technology (CRM197/TT), offers a differentiated option for pediatric pneumococcal disease prevention in China. Since its launch in September 2025, iPneucia(R) has continued to expand market access and is now available in nearly 30 provincial-level markets across China. From meningococcal disease to pneumococcal disease, CanSinoBIO is using innovative products to address vaccine segments that continue to offer meaningful unmet demand. As traditional vaccine categories face pressure on volumes, structural growth driven by product and technology upgrades is providing important support for the Company’s commercial resilience. More importantly, the product-development and industrialization capabilities established in the domestic market also provide a foundation for overseas expansion. For an innovative vaccine company, successful commercialization in China not only broadens revenue sources, but also validates the manufacturing, quality-control and supply systems required to replicate and extend those capabilities into international markets. Domestic product upgrades and overseas business growth are thereforeclosely connected rather than separate. The former provides the foundation in products and technologies, while the latter expands the geographic boundaries within which those products can realize their value. Multi-Layered Pipeline Takes Shape to Support Future Growth For an innovative vaccine company, long-term growth depends not only on the commercial performance of existing products, but also on the ability to maintain a steady flow of new products. By pursuing continued ramp-up of marketed products, advancing products under regulatory review and developing next-generation candidates, CanSinoBIO is building a more sustainable and well-sequenced product pipeline. Tripecia(R) (DT3cP Infant), CanSinoBIO’s three-component acellular diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis combined vaccine for infants, received NDA approval in April 2026, becoming the first approved three-component DTP vaccine in China. In August 2026, the first commercial batches received the Certificate for Batch Release of Biological Products. Provincial tendering and market-access processes are progressing in an orderly manner, and the product has begun entering the market supply stage. While Tripecia(R) represents an upgrade in pertussis vaccination for infants, the Td5cp vaccine for adolescents and adults — which has also been granted Priority Review status — is expected to extend CanSinoBIO’s pertussis vaccine portfolio to a broader population. The New Drug Application for Td5cp has been accepted by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). In addition, CanSinoBIO’s independently developed Adsorbed Tetanus Vaccine, Tetcia(R), has been formally approved, further strengthening the Company’s adult vaccine portfolio. From infants to adolescents and adults, and from individual products to a multi-product portfolio, this strategy is broadening the foundation for future commercial growth. In pneumococcal vaccines, CanSinoBIO’s 24-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine (CRM197/Tetanus Toxoid) (PCV24) formally initiated Phase I/II clinical trials in May 2026, and participant enrollment across different cohorts is progressing as planned. At the same time, the Company continues to advance development of its DT3cP-Hib-MCV4 combination vaccine, extending its portfolio toward increasingly multivalent and combination vaccine formats. Over the longer term, CanSinoBIO is continuing to build its mRNA platform and explore applications in preventive vaccines and therapeutic biologics. The Company is conducting early-stage research into mRNA applications for glioblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and cervical cancer, while also exploring in vivo CAR therapies. These programs remain at an early stage, with the Company continuing to assess the potential of mRNA and related technologies in disease treatment. Additionally, on August 25, CanSinoBIO announced that its subsidiary, CanSino Shanghai, had entered a strategic collaboration with deepGeneAI on mRNA therapeutic cancer vaccines. The two parties will leverage their respective strengths in mRNA vaccine technology and tumor neoantigen discovery and design to jointly advance the development and commercialization of personalized mRNA therapeutic cancer vaccines. These pipeline programs represent extensions of CanSinoBIO’s existing technology platforms and product-development experience. The Company’s core platforms — including viral vector vaccines, synthetic vaccines, protein structure design and VLP assembly, mRNA vaccines, as well as formulation and delivery technologies — provide a foundation for continued product iteration and technology translation. Innovation Supports Long-Term Development Viewed in the context of its 2026 interim results, CanSinoBIO’s story is not simply one of revenue growth. Against a changing domestic vaccine demand structure, innovative products have continued to deliver solid commercial performance, demonstrating the resilience created by product upgrades. Overseas business model expanded beyond finished-product exports to include technology collaboration and local manufacturing capabilities, indicating that international markets are becoming a new source of growth. At the same time, Tripecia(R) has entered the market supply stage, the Td5cp vaccine for adolescents and adults is progressing through regulatory review, and pipeline programs including PCV24, multivalent and combination vaccines, and mRNA technologies continue to advance, providing both product succession and technology reserves for the future. These three pathways ultimately point to the same growth logic: domestic innovation capabilities form the product foundation, overseas expansion broadens the commercial opportunity, and sustained R&D determines whether growth can continue over the long term. In an environment where demand for traditional vaccines is under pressure and industry competition is intensifying, growth is increasingly shifting away from reliance on product-volume expansion alone and toward a model jointly driven by product upgrades, technological innovation and global markets. For CanSinoBIO, continued growth in the overseas business is providing increasingly visible financial evidence of this transition. As more innovative products enter the market, more mature products expand overseas and the Company’s technical capabilities extend further into international value chains, CanSinoBIO’s growth runway is expanding from a single domestic market to the global market. For the Company, internationalization is not only about broadening geographic reach; it is also an important pathway for innovative products and technologies to realize greater commercial value while contributing to global public health.

Salon de TIME will be fully open to the public throughout the event. The 45th HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and 14th Salon de TIME take place from 1 to 5 September at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Introducing fair highlights at a press conference are Smilely Lam, HKTDC Associate Executive Director (fifth from the left), SK Chong (fourth from the right) and Frankie Lam (fourth from the left), Co-Chairmen, HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair Organising Committee 2026, and celebrity Joey Thye (fifth from the right). Under the theme “Sparkling Moments Through Time”, the two fairs are expected to attract more than 630 exhibitors from 16 countries and regions, showcasing a wide range of watches, clocks and related products to meet evolving market trends and consumer demand. The Click2Match AI-powered business matching platform has been available since 25 August and will remain open until 12 September, enabling exhibitors and buyers from around the world to connect and conduct business discussions online during and beyond the physical fairs. Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair marks 45th Milestone HKTDC Associate Executive Director Smilely Lam said: “The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and Salon de TIME together form the world's largest one-stop watch and clock marketplace. As the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair celebrates its 45th edition this year, the two fairs are continuing to grow in both international reach and diversity, leveraging Hong Kong’s strengths as an international trading hub and Asia’s premier sourcing centre for watches and clocks. This year’s fairs welcome, for the first time, a pavilion from Hengyang, Hunan Province, alongside group pavilions from France, Switzerland, Guangzhou and Taiwan. New exhibitors from Norway, Singapore and the US are joining this year's fair, further strengthening the international profile of the fairs. Salon de TIME is expected to feature more than 150 global brands, reaching a new post-pandemic high. Participation from Hong Kong brands and Guochao-inspired brands has increased by more than 20%, while more brands from Italy, the United Kingdom and the US are joining, alongside the debut of Singaporean brands. This fully demonstrates Hong Kong’s unique role as an important bridge connecting the Chinese Mainland with international markets, as well as the global watch industry’s confidence in the Hong Kong market.” According to the latest trade statistics, Hong Kong is the world’s largest importer and second largest exporter of wristwatches. In the first seven months of this year, the total export value of watches reached approximately HK$30.5 billion, representing a 7.8% year-on-year increase. Several other Hong Kong export markets recorded double-digit growth, including Germany (+21%), Switzerland (+25%) and the United Arab Emirates (+91%). In addition, the watch industry’s export confidence index rose from 50.4 to 51.9 in the second quarter, reflecting the industry’s cautiously optimistic outlook for exports.

Currently, only four AHCI members are from the Chinese Mainland, and this year's exhibition will feature three of them including Xushu Ma, who was the first watchmaker from the Chinese Mainland admitted to the association, as well as Zehua Tan and Lin Yong Hua. The opportunity to see such a distinguished line-up in one place is particularly rare. In addition, several Guochao-inspired brands and Chinese watchmakers will showcase their outstanding creations.

To celebrate the 45th edition of the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, organisers will present a special “Time Tunnel” exhibition, taking visitors on a journey through three key stages in the fair’s evolution since its debut in 1982. The exhibition will revisit the period from the 1980s to the 1990s, when the fair established itself as a major global sourcing platform for the watch and clock industry. It then traces the transformation of Hong Kong’s watch industry between 2000 and 2020, as the sector evolved from OEM manufacturing toward brand development, with the fair becoming an important platform for industry promotion, networking, and exchange. The final section covers the period from 2020 to the present, when the fair expanded beyond manufacturing, sourcing, and brand promotion. Through cross-sector collaboration and the integration of resources from different industries, it has evolved into a multifaceted platform that brings together craftsmanship, design, technology, lifestyle, culture and consumer engagement, reflecting the continuous transformation of both the watch industry and the fair itself.

Premium High-Purity Feedstock: C4V's Green Anode Technology requires natural graphite concentrate of approximately 98% carbon, a demanding feedstock specification that Lac Knife has demonstrated the ability to meet through conventional flotation. Commercialization Potential: Successful technical validation would establish the foundation for definitive commercial agreements involving technology licensing, downstream manufacturing, customer qualification, strategic partnerships and potential offtake opportunities. Advanced Materials Strategy: The collaboration supports Focus's broader strategy to expand beyond resource development into downstream processing, advanced materials and higher-value segments of the North American supply chain. Strengthening Allied Supply Chains: The collaboration combines Canadian graphite resources with American processing technology to support a secure, scalable and more resilient North American battery materials supply chain. OTTAWA, ON, Aug 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Charge CCCV LLC ("C4V"), a U.S.-based battery technology company, to evaluate graphite concentrate from Focus's 100%-owned Lac Knife Project ("Lac Knife" or the "Project") in Quebec using C4V's proprietary automated Green Anode Technology ("Green Anode Technology" or the "Technology"). A North American Mine-to-Anode Platform C4V's Green Anode Technology is designed to convert premium natural graphite concentrate directly into finished coated spherical purified graphite ("cSPG") through a highly automated process designed to reduce water and energy consumption, chemical usage and overall process complexity. Compared with conventional processing routes involving multiple upgrading and purification stages, the Technology is intended to provide a cleaner, more efficient pathway from graphite concentrate to finished battery-grade anode material. C4V has successfully demonstrated the Technology at pilot scale. C4V's broader anode-development experience includes a multi-year program focused on developing high-performance active anode materials using high-purity natural graphite feedstock. The technology has demonstrated successful development and qualification pathways for active anode material and previously supported a binding offtake agreement with a globally recognized U.S. electric vehicle ("EV") and battery energy storage manufacturer ("BESS") for U.S.-produced active anode material, subject to specified development, production and customer-qualification conditions. The commercial pathway ultimately did not proceed as contemplated for reasons unrelated to the technical performance of the underlying anode technology. Focus was not a party to that arrangement. C4V's Green Anode Technology requires a high-purity natural graphite concentrate of approximately 98% carbon, a demanding feedstock specification that Lac Knife has demonstrated the ability to meet through conventional flotation alone. Lac Knife's ability to produce high-purity flotation concentrate has been established through the Company's 2023 NI 43-101 Feasibility Study1 and further validated by its recent 8-tonne pilot-scale program2, announced July 28, 2026, which produced concentrate grading up to 98.7% carbon through mechanical processing, without chemical or thermal purification. Lac Knife is one of North America's highest-grade feasibility-stage graphite deposits. The ability to begin downstream processing with a premium, high-purity concentrate has the potential to reduce processing requirements, reagent and energy consumption, shorten processing times and improve overall manufacturing efficiency. Combined with Lac Knife's favourable purification characteristics, this provides a strong starting point for evaluating a cleaner, more efficient and potentially lower-cost pathway to finished anode material. Under the MOU, the parties intend to complete an evaluation Program (the "Program") to assess the technical and commercial suitability of Lac Knife graphite for processing through C4V's Green Anode Technology. The Program will examine processing performance, product consistency and electrochemical characteristics and evaluate whether Lac Knife's feedstock advantages can translate into a cleaner, more efficient and commercially competitive pathway from mine to finished battery-grade anode material, supporting future customer qualification, downstream product development and potential commercialization opportunities. Richard Pearce, P.E., Technical Advisor to Focus Graphite, commented, "The success of any anode manufacturing process begins with the quality of the graphite feedstock. Higher-purity concentrate has the potential to reduce downstream processing requirements, improve manufacturing efficiency and enhance overall product consistency. Lac Knife has demonstrated exceptional concentrate quality through conventional flotation, making it an outstanding candidate for evaluation within C4V's Green Anode Technology." "For years the anode has been the weakest link in the battery supply chain, dependent on foreign processing and heavy chemistry to reach purity," said Dr. Shailesh Upreti, Chief Executive Officer of C4V. "Our Green Anode Technology was built to change that. C4V successfully demonstrated the technology through an earlier natural-graphite development program that advanced through customer qualification and ultimately supported a commercial agreement with a prominent U.S. EV and BESS manufacturer. We are excited to build on that technical foundation with Lac Knife's exceptional graphite concentrate and evaluate a cleaner, more efficient and scalable North American pathway to finished battery-ready anode material." "North America is moving quickly to secure critical mineral supply chains from raw materials through advanced manufacturing," said Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite. "C4V's previous work has demonstrated the commercial interest that can emerge when high-quality natural graphite is successfully advanced into finished anode material. For Focus, the opportunity is to demonstrate that potential with Lac Knife. If successfully validated, this platform could position us for customer qualification, strategic partnerships and potential offtake while helping build a more secure and competitive North American anode supply chain." Building a Higher-Value Graphite Platform Beyond battery anode production, the collaboration also supports Focus's objective of maximizing value across the graphite processing chain. Graphite fines and other material streams generated during anode production may be evaluated as conductive additives for lithium iron phosphate ("LFP") batteries. Previous testing by Focus and C4V demonstrated that conductive additive material produced from Lac Knife graphite improved LFP cathode electrode density relative to baseline materials, highlighting an additional opportunity to improve resource utilization and support the Company's broader zero-waste development strategy. While the Green Anode Technology evaluation is focused on battery anode materials, it represents one component of Focus's broader advanced materials strategy. In parallel, the Company is advancing a chemical-free electrothermal graphite purification process intended to produce ultra-high-purity graphite for battery, defence, nuclear, aerospace, energy storage and other advanced industrial applications. This effort is being advanced through the Company's up to $14.1 million non-repayable funding agreement under Natural Resources Canada's ("NRCan") Global Partnerships Initiative ("GPI"). If successful, the Program could demonstrate a differentiated Mine-to-Anode pathway that aligns with Canada's "Mine-to-Market" critical minerals strategy by converting premium Canadian graphite into finished battery-grade anode material through a cleaner, lower-cost and scalable North American production process. The collaboration reflects Focus's strategy of evolving from a graphite developer into an integrated advanced materials company participating across the battery value chain. Subject to successful technical validation and the execution of definitive agreements, the Program could provide a foundation for expanded commercial collaboration, including technology licensing, downstream manufacturing, customer qualification, strategic partnerships and potential long-term offtake arrangements. The MOU is non-binding, and any future commercial relationship between Focus and C4V will remain subject to successful completion of the Program, definitive agreements and applicable corporate and regulatory approvals.

Airwheel Advances Embodied AI in Travel with SE3SXD Luxury Cabin Suitcase, a New Generation AI Suitcase Designed as an Intelligent Mobility Companion. As artificial intelligence moves beyond screens and into the physical world, Airwheel is bringing embodied intelligence to one of the most familiar products in everyday travel: the suitcase. With more than 600 patents accumulated globally, Airwheel has spent years developing technologies that integrate electric mobility, intelligent control, connected devices and industrial design into personal transportation products. Its latest flagship, the Airwheel SE3SXD Luxury Suitcase, takes this approach further by combining automated mechanical movement, intelligent interaction and premium travel design in a single 20-inch AI Suitcase. Rather than treating luggage as a passive container, Airwheel is exploring a new role for the suitcase—as an intelligent mobility companion capable of sensing, responding, transforming and moving with its user. Bringing Embodied Intelligence Into Everyday Travel The development of generative AI and AI agents has accelerated the transition from digital intelligence to physical intelligence. While software-based AI can understand information and respond to commands, embodied AI brings intelligence into physical systems that can interact with the real world. Airwheel sees intelligent luggage as a natural extension of this evolution. The SE3SXD combines the functions of a Smart Suitcase, Electric Suitcase, Scooter Suitcase, Cabin Suitcase and Rideable Suitcase, while maintaining the portability and refined appearance expected from premium luggage. Its design philosophy is centered on reducing unnecessary interaction: instead of requiring users to manually assemble or adjust multiple components, the suitcase is designed to transform through a coordinated automated mechanism. With one press of the activation button, the motorized front wheel automatically deploys while the intelligent riding handle rises and locks into position. The transition from conventional luggage to riding mode can be completed within seconds. The concept is simple: one touch, ready to ride. For travelers moving through airports, railway stations, exhibition centers, hotels and other large environments, the system is designed to reduce the physical effort traditionally associated with pulling luggage over long distances. From "Rideable Luggage" to "Intelligent Suitcase" Electric mobility has already changed how people move through cities, but Airwheel believes that simply adding a motor to luggage is not enough. The SE3SXD is designed around a more integrated approach in which mechanical systems, controls and connected software work together. The suitcase can reach a riding speed of up to 9.9 km/h and features a motorized front-wheel system designed to enhance stability during riding. Its intelligent handle uses a straightforward control layout, with the right control supporting acceleration and the left control supporting braking. Operating both controls simultaneously enables reverse movement. The goal is to minimize the learning curve and make the transition from traditional luggage to personal mobility intuitive for new users. Behind the mobility system is a reinforced luggage structure. The suitcase uses an ABS+PC composite body combined with an integrated aviation-aluminum frame structure, providing a balance between durability, structural support and premium design. The SE3SXD supports a maximum load of up to 95 kg, according to Airwheel's specifications. This combination allows the product to serve two roles without compromising either: a practical travel suitcase when being pulled or stored, and an electric mobility platform when riding is appropriate. A Smart Suitcase Connected to the Digital Lifestyle The intelligence of the SE3SXD extends beyond its physical transformation. Airwheel has developed a dedicated smart app compatible with major mobile operating systems, including iOS, Android and HarmonyOS. Through the app, users can access key operating information such as riding speed, mileage and remaining battery level. Riding speed can be adjusted within a 0.1–9.9 km/h range, allowing users to adapt the experience to different environments. The connected platform also provides additional functions, including remote control of the suitcase's mechanical deployment, low-battery notifications, Bluetooth disconnection alerts, cruise control and smart remote operation. Personalization is also built into the experience. The SE3SXD features customizable ambient lighting with eight colors and nine lighting effects, allowing users to create different visual combinations while giving the suitcase a distinctive technology-oriented identity. These features reflect Airwheel's broader approach to smart mobility: technology should not simply add functions. It should make the product easier to understand, easier to control and more naturally integrated into everyday life. Apple Find My Adds Another Layer of Connected Travel For international travelers, keeping track of luggage can be just as important as moving it. The SE3SXD supports Apple Find My, enabling users with compatible Apple devices to locate the suitcase through the Find My network. When the suitcase is within a nearby range, users can also activate a sound to help identify its location. In busy airports, railway stations, hotels and exhibition venues, this connected location capability is designed to provide an additional layer of visibility and reassurance. The suitcase also features a USB output interface, allowing travelers to charge compatible mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and wireless earbuds while on the move. Together, these capabilities position the SE3SXD not simply as a piece of luggage, but as a connected travel device that integrates mobility, power and digital management. Premium Design in a Cabin-Ready Form Intelligent technology is only part of the experience. For a product designed for frequent travelers, practical luggage requirements remain fundamental. The SE3SXD adopts a 20-inch Cabin Suitcase format with dimensions of approximately 530 × 360 × 236 mm, providing a compact form designed for applicable cabin-travel scenarios. The product uses a 73.26Wh removable lithium battery with a modular structure designed to simplify removal when required for security inspection or transportation. A TSA-compatible combination lock further supports international travel scenarios, while the removable battery architecture provides additional flexibility for transportation and maintenance. The result is a product positioned at the intersection of intelligent mobility and premium luggage—a Luxury Suitcase designed not only around appearance, but also around functionality, connectivity and the changing expectations of modern travelers. Building a Broader Intelligent Luggage Ecosystem The SE3SXD represents the flagship level of Airwheel's intelligent mobility portfolio, but it is part of a broader product strategy. Airwheel's lineup includes models such as the SE3SX Cabin Suitcase,  SE3SL+ Airport Suitcase and SE3SL electric suitcase, which combine rideable mobility, smart app connectivity, Apple Find My support and USB charging. The SE3MiniT focuses on lightweight urban and short-distance travel, while the larger SE3T provides additional capacity for travelers carrying more luggage. For families, Airwheel has also developed the SQ3 and SQ3S children's rideable luggage series, extending intelligent mobility into parent-child travel scenarios. Each product serves a different use case, but they share the same underlying development philosophy: bringing intelligent technology into real travel environments rather than treating AI as a purely digital concept. From Luggage to Mobility Companion The suitcase is undergoing the same transformation as smartphones, cars, and smart homes—evolving from passive gear into an intelligent travel partner. Airwheel’s AI Suitcase goes beyond adding smart features; it reimagines luggage as an active participant in the journey. The SE3SXD combines automated movement, electric propulsion, smart controls, connectivity, portable power, and premium design in one compact platform. It doesn’t just follow—it interacts, adapts, and connects with the traveler’s digital life. For Airwheel, this isn’t about smarter luggage—it’s about smarter travel. About Airwheel Airwheel specializes in intelligent mobility, with over 600 global patents across electric transport, rideable luggage, and connected travel products. Its growing lineup of AI, Smart, Electric, and Rideable Suitcases aims to make travel more efficient, connected, and effortless.

Notably, the Group’s cash flow performance was particularly strong, with net operating cash flow reaching RMB3,796 million in the first half, while its cash-to-net-profit ratio stood at 87.7%, a near 15-year high. Across its business segments, the Group achieved robust growth, with its MiC (Modular Integrated Construction) business successfully securing a number of landmark projects, reflecting the strategic outcome of the Group’s steadfast efforts over the years to transform its business from traditional on-site construction towards new industrialised construction. Technology empowerment has evolved from a standalone technical advantage into a core competitive strength and a key driver of the Group’s long-term value creation. As one of the earliest companies in the Chinese Mainland to embrace construction industrialisation, the Group has reshaped the traditional construction model through its self-developed “Smart Construction – MiC technology”. By shifting from the construction site to the factory, and converting sequential processes into parallel workflows, the Group has effectively shortened construction periods, strengthened cost control, and reduced reliance on on-site labour and weather conditions. This transformation has become a core foundation for the Group to navigate industry cycles and drive improvement in its operating performance. Hong Kong: Serving Community Needs through MiC, with Landmark Projects Progressing One after Another China State Construction International’s technological practices are closely aligned with the policy direction of the Hong Kong SAR Government. Since 2017, MiC has been included in the Policy Address for eight consecutive years, while the Government has promoted new construction methods through measures such as gross floor area and building height concessions, as well as the Construction Innovation and Technology Fund. These initiatives have provided the Group with clear policy support and market opportunities. During the period, the Group secured a number of landmark projects, including the Kwu Tung North Joint User Complex, the first government facilities cluster in the Northern Metropolis, and the University of Macau campus project in the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone (North District). The Group’s Temple Street project has also topped out successfully. As Hong Kong’s first full-MiC private residential project, it achieved a pace of “one floor every three days” despite stringent road traffic restrictions. The Kai Tak Light Public Housing project, Hong Kong’s largest light public housing development, was delivered ahead of schedule, with 70% of the construction processes completed in factories in the Greater Bay Area. It achieved the installation of one module every 30 minutes and the completion of one floor every three days, substantially shortening waiting time and demonstrating the strategic positioning of “what Hong Kong needs, what the Group excels at”. The project also received a Completion Commendation Letter from the Architectural Services Department. The strategic value of the Group’s technology was demonstrated as early as during the pandemic. In 2020, the Group completed the North Lantau Hospital Hong Kong Infection Control Centre, the world’s first infectious disease hospital with full-MiC negative-pressure isolation wards, in just four months. This showcased the application value of MiC in major public emergencies, deepened recognition from the Government and the market of the Group’s construction capabilities and emergency-response capacity, and laid a strong reputational foundation for undertaking large-scale public infrastructure projects. Looking ahead, the Northern Metropolis is expected to become a new growth engine for the Group. The latest Budget proposed the first transfer of HK$150 billion in investment returns from the Exchange Fund to support infrastructure including the Northern Metropolis, while annual capital works expenditure is expected to increase from approximately HK$90 billion to around HK$120 billion over the next five years. Covering site formation, transport, public facilities and public housing, the Northern Metropolis is expected to involve total investment of more than HK$3 trillion, presenting considerable development potential. MiC modular construction can shorten construction periods by approximately 70%, aligning well with the Northern Metropolis’ need for rapid development. Together with Budget support for the direct procurement of Modular Integrated Construction units, this is expected to further unlock market demand. The Group has established 12 smart housing manufacturing bases nationwide and assembled a team of more than 300 design and R&D professionals, giving it advantages in scaled technology and production capacity. According to forecasts by the Development Bureau and the Construction Industry Council, the total MiC floor area in Hong Kong is expected to reach approximately 2.5 million square metres between 2025 and 2030, indicating substantial market opportunities. Chinese Mainland: Urban Renewal Opens a New Growth Driver as MiC Expands across Multiple Cities In May 2026, the State Council issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for Urban Renewal, the first national-level special plan for China’s urban renewal sector. Market estimates that urban renewal could drive investment of RMB15 trillion to RMB20 trillion during the period. Leveraging its MiC technology, the Group has developed benchmark redevelopment projects such as Huapichang Hutong in Beijing and Tianlin Road in Xuhui, Shanghai, achieving first-mover presence in first-tier cities. Going forward, the Group will replicate and scale mature models through its full-chain capabilities in “operation + technology + investment + construction”, positioning urban renewal as a core growth driver for its Chinese Mainland business. During the period, the Group’s newly signed MiC contracts in the Chinese Mainland increased by more than 70%, with progress across multiple first-tier cities and orderly expansion into strong second-tier cities. In Beijing, the Group has secured four rapid classroom construction projects in Fengtai District. In Guangzhou, the Group won its first MiC resettlement housing project in Conghua District. In Shanghai and Suzhou, the country’s largest concrete MiC urban renewal project — the demolition and reconstruction of old housing at Lane 65, Tianlin Road, Xuhui District — was officially delivered and well received by various stakeholders. The Group successively secured Shanghai’s second and Hongkou District’s first MiC in-situ redevelopment projects, and successfully won Suzhou’s first MiC project under an “investment + technology” model, further deepening its market presence. The positive results of the Group’s MiC modular transformation are becoming increasingly evident. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to seize the structural opportunities presented by Hong Kong’s Northern Metropolis and the urban renewal market in the Chinese Mainland, further harness technology, reinforce its industry leadership, pursue high-quality growth and create sustainable, long-term value for shareholders.

Should the over-allotment option be exercised in full, the maximum gross proceeds could reach HK$2.706 billion. The offering has attracted a stellar cornerstone investor line-up, led by Baillie Gifford, the century-old Scottish asset management giant renowned for its long-term holdings in technology leaders such as Tesla and Nvidia. Other participating cornerstone investors include Taikang Life, a leading Chinese insurance asset manager; Jane Street, the legendary quantitative trading firm on Wall Street; Golden Link, the industrial capital arm of BYD; as well as Invus, Ghisallo, Ruihua, NGS Super Fund, and E Fund, among other well-known institutions. Standardized Robot “Eye-Brain-Hand”: Global Market Share Ranked First for Four Consecutive Years by a Dominant Margin Mech-Mind focuses on providing robots with a complete closed-loop execution system comprising “eyes” (3D vision), “brain” (AI decision-making), and “hands” (dexterous manipulation). The Company is committed to leveraging standardized, universal product components to break the long-standing industry challenge of high-cost, hard-to-replicate customized solutions. With highly standardized hardware and software suites, its products offer exceptional versatility and reusability, enabling flexible adaptation to diverse industrial scenarios, including automotive, new energy, consumer electronics, education, and general manufacturing. According to CIC Report, in 2025 Mech-Mind ranked first in the global AI + 3D vision-guided non-specialty intelligent robot component market with a market share of approximately 22.1% (revenue of approximately RMB389 million), with its revenue scale nearly 2.6 times that of the second-placed player (8.5%). In terms of shipment volume, the Company captured a 27.5% market share, exceeding the combined total of the next four manufacturers. Mech-Mind ranked first in the China, Japan, and North American markets, and also held a leading position in Southeast Asia, Europe, and South Korea, maintaining the No.1 global market share for four consecutive years. As of March 31, 2026, Mech-Mind has served more than 100 Fortune Global 500 companies in total, with over 29.000 units deployed globally, covering more than 50 different application scenarios across dozens of industries, and capable of handling over 100,000 types of goods. Its client portfolio encompasses global manufacturing giants including CATL, BYD, Midea, Foxconn, Toyota, Volkswagen, and suppliers within Tesla’s supply chain. The Company maintains exceptionally high customer retention. Revenue contribution from existing customers accounted for 78% of total revenue in 2025, and further increased to 86% as at March 31, 2026. Its products are deeply integrated into customers’ production processes, resulting in significant switching costs and underpinning long-term growth momentum. Furthermore, leveraging an extensive, efficient network comprising 1,369 system integrators across the globe, the Company serves end customers in close to 50 countries and regions. Robust Financial Growth: Gross Margin Surges to 64.6% with a Clear Profitability Path Financial data indicates that Mech-Mind is in a critical phase of rapid growth with markedly improved profitability quality. From 2023 to 2025, the Company’s revenue surged from RMB181 million to RMB389 million, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46.6%. In the first quarter of 2026, revenue jumped 73.1% year-on-year to RMB107 million, demonstrating robust resilience amid slowing investment across the global manufacturing sector. Driven by the realization of economies of scale, supply chain cost optimization and an increased revenue share from overseas markets with favorable gross margin profile, the Company’s gross margin rose substantially from 39.1% in 2023 to 51.1% in 2024, further climbing to 64.6% in 2025, and hitting 64.8% in the first quarter of 2026. In terms of gross profit, it registered a year-on-year increase of 94.5% in 2024, 82.8% in 2025 and 79.7% in the first quarter of 2026, demonstrating strong growth momentum. Excluding non-operating factors such as fair value changes in redemption liabilities, the Company’s adjusted net loss narrowed significantly from RMB334 million in 2023 to RMB214 million in 2024, and further declined to RMB109 million in 2025. The adjusted net loss stood at merely RMB33 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing a 14.6% year-on-year contraction with sustained sequential quarterly improvement, which points to a clear path toward profitability. Meanwhile, operating leverage continued to strengthen. The sales expense ratio dropped substantially from 102.7% in 2023 to 42.4% in the first quarter of 2026; the administrative expense ratio fell from 58.2% to 29.9%; and the R&D expense ratio declined from 65.6% to 36.0%. Product sales volume and customer base expanded in tandem. Sales of intelligent robotic guidance products increased from 3,654 units in 2023 to 5,852 units in 2024, reaching 8,268 units in 2025 and 2,412 units in the first quarter of 2026. The number of ordering customers for the respective periods grew from 509 in 2023 to 605 in 2024 and 625 in 2025, and hit 258 in the first quarter of 2026. Globalization Gathers Pace: Over Half of Revenue Generated Overseas, Spanning Around 50 Countries and Regions Breakthrough progress in overseas markets has become a key pillar for Mech-Mind’s value rerating. Between 2023 and 2025, revenue from overseas customers rose from RMB58.6 million to RMB196 million, representing a CAGR of approximately 83%, well above the Company’s overall growth rate. In 2025, overseas markets contributed RMB196 million in revenue, accounting for 50.3% of total revenue — crossing the 50% threshold for the first time. Overseas gross profit also made up more than half of total gross profit, a clear reflection of the Company’s technical premium and pricing power. The Company embraced a globalization strategy from its early days. Back in 2019, it established its German subsidiary. To date, subsidiaries have been set up in the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong. More than ten business centers operate in Tokyo, Seoul, Chicago, Munich and other locations, with business footprint covering roughly 50 countries and regions and over 900 cumulative overseas customers served. The Company has obtained major international certifications, including FCC, CE, IC, UKCA, VCCI, KC and NRTL. Its overseas organization is structured across three major regions: AsiaPacific, Europe and the Americas. It is progressively moving into the phase of penetrating lowertier geographic markets and accelerating indepth local cultivation. Tsinghua-Founded Core Team & World-Class R&D Capabilities Mech-Mind was founded in 2016 by Shao Tianlan, an alumnus of Tsinghua University. Its founding team boasts top-tier technical expertise and a global vision. Shao Tianlan, founder and chief executive officer, earned his bachelor’s degree from the School of Software, Tsinghua University, followed by a master’s degree in robotics from the Technical University of Munich (Technische Universitat Munchen) in Germany.

Mech-GPT, its large multimodal model, was recognized by the World Economic Forum as World Economic Forum MINDS Programme. Blue Ocean Market Surges: Proceeds to Fuel AI R&D and Accelerate Global Commercialization From an industry perspective, global AI + 3D visionguided non-specialty intelligent robot component market is experiencing explosive growth. According to data from CIC, this market is expected to grow from RMB1.8 billion in 2025 to RMB10.6 billion in 2030, representing a CAGR of 43.2%, and is projected to further expand to RMB102.5 billion by 2035. Over the same period, the global non-specialty intelligent robot market is expected to grow from 590,000 units in 2025 to 2.25 million units in 2030, and reach 12.08 million units by 2035. As a specialist technology company applying for listing under Chapter 18C of the Listing Rules, Mech-Mind has crossed the critical watershed from technology validation to scaled commercialization. The Company possesses a stable and rapidly growing revenue base, a high gross margin level, and a clear path to profitability, standing in stark contrast to many technology enterprises that are still in the R&D-intensive stage and remain heavily reliant on external financing to sustain operations. Since its establishment, Mech-Mind has secured investments from a number of premier financial investors and industrial capital players. Under the Chapter 18C regime, the Company’s Pathfinder Sophisticated Independent Investor(s)” or “Pathfinder SII(s)” are Sequoia China and Qiming Venture Partners; its Other Sophisticated Independent Investor is Intel. In addition, Mech-Mind’s investor base also includes Meituan, IDG Capital, GIC, Source Code Capital, China Growth Capital, CICC-Porsche Fund, Coatue, among others. Through this IPO, the net proceeds will be precisely allocated to the following core strategic areas: approximately 31.8% for the continued enhancement of R&D investment (of which 14.6% for strengthening AI-centric software capabilities, 9.4% for optimizing core hardware competitiveness, and 7.7% for building scalable R&D infrastructure); approximately 29.4% for expanding global presence and accelerating commercialization (23.7% for overseas business development and 6.3% for domestic business expansion); approximately 25.2% or enriching product portfolios and broadening application scenarios (14.5% for the development of the next-generation “eye-brain-hand” solutions, and 10.7% for expanding into more scenarios such as services and households); approximately 5.0% for capacity expansion and operational efficiency improvement; and approximately 8.6% or working capital and general corporate purposes.

On the distribution side, monthly distribution revenue from its AI short drama business exceeded RMB 100 million at its speak during the first six months of the year, making it a key driver of the company’s overall revenue growth and highlighting the business’s strong commercial potential. Industry observers note that the AI short drama sector is entering a critical stage, characterized by rapidly expanding content supply and increasingly mature monetization models. Duiba Group, with its AI-native industrialization capabilities, enjoys unique advantages in production efficiency and cost structure. In addition, drawing on its extensive enterprise customer base and years of experience in Internet advertising, the company is expected to generate synergies across content distribution, traffic acquisition and commercial monetization , further amplifying the benefits of scale economies. Strong Interim Revenue Growth Points to Revaluation Potential Duiba Group’s disclosure of its AI short drama business performance is not only an early indication of the progress of its strategic transformation but also a clear signal of strong revenue growth in its upcoming interim report. Through an optimized revenue structure, the application of technologies and the formation of an industrialization system, Duiba Group is moving beyond the growth constraints of its traditional business and entering areas with greater growth potential and stronger profitability. As its AI short drama business continues to scale and new enterprise service products are launched, Duiba Group is expected to further optimize its business structure and enhance its profitability. In the announcement, Duiba Group said that it would continue to advance the industrialization of its AI-native content pipeline, strengthen its core market advantage, enrich user content experiences, and create long-term value for shareholders.

(stock code: 2018.HK; “AAC Technologies” or the “Group”) today released its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026. Revenue for the first half of 2026 (“1H 2026”) reached a record RMB14.51 billion, up 8.9% year-on-year (“YoY”). Net profit attributable to owners of the Company rose 2.9% YoY to RMB901 million. After excluding other gains and losses related to fair value gains and losses, the growth rate of net profit for the first half of the year stood at 37.4%. This marks the third consecutive year the Group has achieved a record first-half revenue since pivoting toward AI-related new businesses. At the results briefing, CFO Guo Dan highlighted that AI new businesses have become the core driver of the Group’s top-line growth. As specialized business segments including liquid-cooling coolant distribution units (CDUs), wafer-level glass (WLG) optical communications, AR optical waveguide lenses and robotic motors ramp, the Group’s multi-engine growth model is accelerating, and the contribution from new businesses is set to expand further. Full-year 2026 revenue is expected to deliver double-digit growth, with the scale of AI new businesses potentially exceeding RMB8 billion in 2027. ( AAC Technologies CFO Guo Dan) Full-year revenue is expected to deliver double-digit growth Dan stated that despite external market pressures, management remains cautiously optimistic regarding full-year operations, expecting double-digit revenue growth with gross profit margin to improve steadily from the 22.4% recorded in 1H 2026. By segment, the acoustics and electromagnetic drives business is expected to deliver single-digit full-year revenue growth, with gross margin likely to improve further from the 28.6% recorded in the first half. The precision mechanics and heat dissipation business continues to be a powerful  growth engine, with full-year revenue expected to increase by more than 30%. Gross margin in this segment reached 23.1% in the first half and is expected to rise further in the second half. The optics business saw a YoY decline in revenue, reflecting industry conditions and customer mix, but overall gross margin remained resilient. Gross margin of plastic lenses and G+P hybrid lenses improved by more than 5 percentage points YoY, driven by yield and process optimization. The Group is increasing the shipment mix of 6P-and-above high-end lenses and accelerating certification and onboarding with overseas customers. The sensor and semiconductor business, benefiting from AI-driven upgrades in end devices, is expected to grow full-year revenue by 15%–20%, with gross margin improving steadily. Automotive acoustics, leveraging vertically integrated solutions spanning speakers, amplifiers and professional tuning, is expected to grow full-year revenue by 15%–20% despite a weaker auto market. Gross margin may decline by around 2 percentage points YoY, reflecting intensified industry competition and changes in product mix. Among the global leaders in AI thermal management Rapid advances in the AI industry have triggered a surge in thermal-management demand. In 1H 2026, AAC Technologies’ heat dissipation revenue surged approximately 400% YoY to RMB1.10 billion, highlighting its strong growth momentum. According to Dan, AAC Technologies now ranks among the global leaders in consumer-electronics thermal management and among China’s top-three AI-server liquid-cooling providers by market size. In consumer electronics, shipments of the Group’s high-performance innovative vapor chambers (VCs) continued to ramp, and mass-production preparations for next-generation products are progressing smoothly. In AI computing, the Group is pursuing a dual-market expansion strategy covering both domestic and overseas markets. Yuandi (Guangzhou) Digital Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Group, has commenced scaled mass production and global batch deliveries of high-power centralized liquid-cooling CDUs, with monthly delivery capacity exceeding 600 units, firmly placing it among the industry’s leading players. Proprietary WLG technology enters optical communications Dan noted that co-packaged optics (CPO), a key technology direction for next-generation high-speed optical interconnects, imposes more stringent requirements on optical alignment — opening an important application scenario for WLG technology. AAC Technologies’ proprietary, self-developed WLG wafer-level glass molding technology offers advantages in high precision, superior consistency and large-scale mass production. The Group is actively engaging in technical exchanges, factory audits and sample submissions with leading overseas optical communications companies, including top-tier players providing high-speed interconnect chips for AI and cloud infrastructure. In AR optics, AAC Technologies has built a one-stop optical system design and simulation solution covering waveguides and light engines. Dan said the Group has become the industry’s first company to achieve volume delivery of full-color light engines serving top-tier customers. In single-layer surface relief grating (SRG) diffractive optical waveguides, it is also the first in the industry to achieve mass production using etching processes. First-ever integration of acoustics and electromagnetic drives To capture AI industry growth opportunities, AAC Technologies has combined its former acoustics and electromagnetic drives businesses — the first organizational integration of these two core segments since the Company’s listing. The combined segment generated revenue of RMB6.01 billion in the first half, up 14.2% YoY, with a gross profit margin of 28.6%. During the reporting period, the segment secured key breakthroughs across several new business lines. Projects related to active cooling fans have successfully passed customer certification and are expected to become standard configurations for high-end models over time, with further expansion into servers, robotics and other markets. Robotic motors and modules secured project design wins from several leading global customers, with certain projects already entering mass production. In addition, AAC Technologies is strategically expanding into the robot systems business, with relevant projects expected to enter mass production by the end of 2026. “One of the Group’s core strengths is its technology platforms plus cross-scenario reuse,” Dan said. Going forward, the Group will further deepen the integration of the acoustics and electromagnetic drives segment, unlocking synergies across technologies, production capacity and customer resources. While solidifying its core position in consumer electronics, the Group will deliver comprehensive solutions into emerging tracks such as automotive, humanoid robotics and AI terminals, continuously unlocking product value-add and long-term growth potential. Robotics business expected to reach RMB400–700 million in 2027 Regarding the development pace of the robotics industry, Dan noted that the ultimate form of embodied AI remains unsettled. Beyond humanoid robots, task-specific robots for professional scenarios, desktop AI interactive devices and other form factors are being explored in parallel, with product maturity and commercialization timelines varying significantly across use cases. Leveraging its long-standing expertise in precision electromagnetic drives, the Group is building capability moats around universal core components for robots — including motors, rotary joints and gimbal modules. It has already established deep partnerships with several leading overseas robotics companies, spanning core-component supply and joint technology development, and can flexibly address the differentiated needs of different robot form factors. Based on the current project pipeline, Dan said the Group’s robotics-related business is expected to reach RMB400–700 million in 2027. Looking ahead, as large AI models migrate to the edge and multi-form robot applications penetrate faster with accelerating commercialization, the segment is expected to see even stronger growth in the coming years. AI new businesses poised to exceed RMB8 billion next year Addressing market concerns over the impact of rising memory chip prices on the smartphone supply chain, Dan said that, despite industry pressure, AAC Technologies’ traditional smartphone businesses maintained a stable-to-improving gross margin, thanks to the Company’s solid core technology foundation and continuous improvements in internal operational efficiency. Dan further noted that, based on first-half operating performance and the internal outlook for the second half, AAC Technologies has effectively withstood the pressure from declining smartphone shipments and managed the impact of this round of memory-chip price increases on the handset supply chain. Looking at the Company’s medium- to long-term strategic roadmap, Dan revealed that the overall scale of the Company’s AI-related new businesses is expected to reach RMB8–9 billion by 2027, transforming these emerging segments into AAC Technologies' core growth engine. By business line, 2027 scale is expected as follows: - Vapor chambers (VCs) and active cooling: around RMB5 billion - AI devices and gimbal modules: around RMB1.5 billion - CDU liquid cooling and cold plates: around RMB1 billion - robotic core components: RMB400–700 million - new automotive acoustics initiatives: around RMB500 million - WLG optical communications: around RMB100 million in initial revenue “The RMB8–9 billion scale is only a beginning,” Dan emphasized. AI-driven industry transformation is just getting started. The new businesses the Company is focused on — including edge AI hardware, data center liquid cooling, XR, robotics and intelligent cockpits — are expected to grow far faster than traditional businesses over the next three to five years, continuously unlocking growth momentum.

The increase reflects growing industry confidence in Hong Kong as a premier platform for sustainable fashion development and ESG-related business opportunities. The latest findings also highlight the increasing commercial value of sustainability. Among exhibitors offering ESG-related products or services, 61% reported achieving additional profit margins of at least 10%, while 47% of buyers sourcing ESG-related products were willing to pay a premium of 10% or more. The results show that ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is increasingly embedded across the fashion value chain, while businesses recognise its potential to drive innovation, competitiveness and growth. The proportion of fashion practitioners considering ESG essential rose from 85% in 2025 to 92% in 2026, with those rating it "very important" increasing overall from 15% to 23%. This trend was markedly stronger among Chinese Mainland respondents, with 45% of whom regarded ESG as "very important" in business decision-making, representing a significant 27 percentage-point increase compared with 2025. HKTDC Principal Economist (Global Research Team) Alice Tsang, said: "The latest findings show sustainability is becoming an increasingly important commercial driver for the fashion industry. Not only are more companies integrating ESG into their business strategies, but many are also seeing tangible financial benefits. The strong profit margins reported by ESG-related suppliers, together with buyers' willingness to pay significant premiums for sustainable products, demonstrate that sustainability helps create business value. This trend, combined with Hong Kong's strengths in international connectivity, green finance and professional services, reinforces the city's role as a leading sustainable fashion hub in Asia." Hong Kong's ESG ecosystem earns strong industry recognition Hong Kong's strengthening position as a sustainable fashion hub was reflected across all three ESG dimensions. While the overall ESG Index rose to 65.5, all three sub-indices for the fashion industry also recorded gains, with the Environmental Sub-index increasing to 64.3, the Social Sub-index climbing to 67.0, and the Governance Sub-index advancing to 66.1. The results indicate that fashion practitioners increasingly value Hong Kong's strengths in green finance and sustainable investment opportunities, cross-border ESG knowledge exchange and business collaboration, as well as its effective ESG reporting framework and international connectivity. Together, these advantages reinforce Hong Kong's role as a leading platform for sustainable fashion development in Asia. ESG adoption delivers business value In addition to assessing Hong Kong's strengths as a sustainable fashion hub, the research highlights that sustainability is increasingly becoming an integral part of business strategy, product development and sourcing decisions, reflecting both evolving market expectations and emerging business opportunities. Other key findings: The share of fashion practitioners engaged in sourcing or selling ESG-related products and services rose from 33% in 2025 to 46% in 2026. Sustainable supply chain platforms (54%), AI analytics (31%) and supplier collaboration tools (31%) were identified as the most valuable digital solutions that Hong Kong offers for supporting ESG compliance. Respondents cited tools for better transparency and traceability (44%), ESG certification (40%), and ESG audits and risk analysis solutions (28%) as the top three supply chain solutions that Hong Kong offers for complying ESG reporting requirements across complex supply chains. HKTDC Director of Research Bruce Pang added: "Fashion businesses increasingly recognise Hong Kong's unique strengths and solutions, which positions the city as an ideal platform for companies looking to identify sustainable business opportunities, forge international partnerships and navigate evolving global ESG requirements. With events like CENTRESTAGE facilitating the exchange and showcase of innovative and sustainable fashion, Hong Kong is well placed to support the industry's transition towards a more sustainable future." HKTDC advancing sustainable fashion development The HKTDC is committed to promoting sustainable business development through its trade fairs, conferences, market intelligence and business-matching platforms. From Fashion InStyle and NEXT@Fashion InStyle, which drive innovation in sustainable fashion and materials, to CENTRESTAGE, taking place this September, where designers, brands and buyers will explore emerging trends including sustainability and responsible fashion, HKTDC continues to connect industry players with new ideas, partners and opportunities. Beyond fashion, HKTDC advances dialogue on ESG, sustainability reporting and green finance through major conferences and research initiatives, supporting businesses in navigating the global sustainability transition.

During the Period, the Group capitalised on the opportunities presented by the upward cycle of commodity prices, proactively adjusted its operating strategy, and adopted a proactive approach focused on increasing reserves and production while capturing sales opportunities. As a result, profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company increased by approximately 88.3% year-on-year to approximately HK$0.29 billion. For the oil and gas business, on the basis of its annual production stabilisation and growth targets, the Group optimised its production mix by prioritising the release of production capacity from high-margin blocks to fully benefit from the price upside. The JSC Karazhanbasmunai (“KBM”) oilfield advanced the development of its coastal area while managing the production decline of existing wells, achieving production capacity replacement. Newly drilled wells in the Hainan-Yuedong Block oilfield achieved the highest daily oil production of any new wells in the field in nearly six years. The Seram Block oilfield validated and implemented perforation and water shutoff programmes to tap the remaining oil potential. For the non-oil-and-gas business, under the principle of “control is essential for subsidiaries, exercising of rights is essential for participating interests”, the Group further strengthened its shareholder engagement, deepened its involvement in project management and operational decision-making, actively captured the pricing windows for aluminium, coal and other products, and optimised sales phasing and inventory management to enhance overall value creation. Meanwhile, the Group capitalised on the high share price of Alcoa to optimise its asset structure by reducing its Alcoa shareholding in the first quarter of 2026, realising proceeds of approximately US$366 million. The Group also established a Singapore trading company to fully leverage the geographical advantages of the Singapore platform, continuously expanding trading channels and customer networks, and transferring its oil and gas trading operations to the new entity in an orderly manner. The Group will continue to explore supply chain deployment and diversify trading models, with a view to steadily increasing the revenue scale of its oil and gas trading business. During the Period, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$5.07 billion (1H2025: approximately HK$9.38 billion), representing a year-on-year decrease of approximately 46.0%. The decrease was primarily attributable to the sharp reduction in oil and gas trading resources available in the market due to the situation in the Middle East, which significantly heightened transaction uncertainties and prompted the Group to proactively de-risk by reducing its oil and gas trading volume by approximately 60.5% year-on-year. Nevertheless, most of the Group’s segments and investments recorded profits during the Period, and the Group continued to maintain a strong financial position. Benefiting from the cash received from the disposal of a significant portion of its Alcoa shares, the Group’s cash and deposits increased significantly to approximately HK$7.04 billion as at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: approximately HK$3.52 billion). As at 30 June 2026, the Group’s total assets amounted to approximately HK$15.97 billion, while net assets attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company amounted to approximately HK$9.37 billion; the debt-to-asset ratio was approximately 40.3%, and the annualised return on equity was approximately 6.6%. The Group maintained a healthy asset position, ample liquidity and a solid operating foundation, enabling it to effectively navigate market volatility and build up financial reserves in support of its “Investment + Trade” dual-driver development strategy. Mr. Hao Weibao, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CITIC Resources, said: “Looking ahead, facing an external environment where opportunities and challenges coexist, we will remain unwavering in deepening our ‘Investment + Trade’ dual-driver development strategy, and systematically advance our work on ‘Upstream Asset Deployment, Trading Business Expansion and Production and Operation Enhancement’. For upstream asset deployment, we will focus on the oil and gas and aluminium industry chains as core areas, actively tracking and prudently screening quality assets with cost competitiveness and resource potential. For trading business expansion, we will focus on the restorative growth of trading volumes and the enhancement of sales prices for equity oil to fully improve our market value conversion capabilities. For production and operation enhancement, we will leverage technological innovation and lean management as dual enablers to systematically enhance the operational efficiency and value contribution of our existing assets. Pursuing organic growth and external expansion in parallel, we will make steady and sustainable progress in a complex and volatile external environment, and remain fully committed to delivering stable and sustainable long-term returns to our shareholders.” For details of CITIC Resources’ 2026 interim results, please refer to the Group’s interim results announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Group’s website.

As a leading provider of AI real-time data infrastructure and analytics services in China, Xunce Technology made breakthrough progress in the first half of the year across business models, product innovation, industry penetration, and international expansion. The company led the industry across all key metrics, officially transitioning from the “investment phase” to the “profit realization phase,” while also exploring new avenues for profitability. Four Key Drivers Fuel Strong Revenue Growth and Continued Improvements in Operational Efficiency In the first half of 2026, against the backdrop of the 15th Five-Year Plan designating artificial intelligence as a national strategic priority, enterprise-level AI is accelerating its transition from model training to practical inference deployment, and from general-purpose capabilities to industry-specific applications. As a result, demand from enterprises for high-quality, structured, scenario-based real-time data is growing exponentially. Facing these significant development opportunities, Xunce Technology based on the FDE model, has expanded its end-to-end data processing and tokenization capabilities—covering everything from data acquisition to large-model fine-tuning—to transform dispersed and heterogeneous enterprise data into data tokens. This helps clients reduce costs, improve efficiency, maximize the business value per token, and achieve more agile, data-driven decision-making. Currently, the company has penetrated eleven high-value, high-barrier industries and developed over 400 functional modules. It has refined three core technological advantages: millisecond- and second-level real-time response, 100% accurate data processing, and data tokenization, connecting computing power to algorithms and taking responsibility for clients’ business outcomes. The company delivered strong performance in the first half of the year, with both revenue and net profit reaching all-time highs. The high revenue growth was primarily driven by the synergistic effect of four key drivers: accelerated deployment of enterprise-grade AI real-time data infrastructure, accelerated penetration into diverse industries, the implementation of the Token business model, and the expansion of international operations and ecosystem development. The significant turnaround in profitability was driven by a steady increase in the proportion of high-margin businesses; the realization of economies of scale from a platform-based and modular product architecture, leading to significantly improved operational efficiency and further optimization of the structure of R&D, sales, and general and administrative expenses; improved cash management efficiency, and investment income contributing to incremental profits. At the same time, the company’s operational efficiency has continued to rise. It has established a data development system centered on the AIDP platform, automating data development tasks. Its solutions are deeply integrated into clients’ self-managed cloud or on-premises systems, serving as a “data hub” that deeply embeds AI into corporate clients’ core business processes, supports high-quality business decision-making, and thereby continuously enhances clients’ willingness to pay;In the first half of the year, the company’s ARPU jumped from 1.64 million yuan to 5.56 million yuan, marking a significant year-over-year increase of 240 percent. Customer retention rates have long remained above 90%, fully demonstrating the strong lock-in effect and high customer stickiness resulting from the deep integration of the product into clients’ business processes, with per-capita revenue surged by 379% year-over-year, placing its labor efficiency among the highest in the AI technology sector. Driven by the dual engines of TokenOS and TokenCloud, revenue from the Token business accounts for over 10% In the first half of this year, the company proactively pioneered the Token business model, enabling data token calls to drive AI-based business decisions. Currently, the Token business model has been implemented in multiple high-value scenarios and has undergone successful commercial validation. During the first half of the year, revenue from the Token business model surpassed 10% of total revenue, with strong growth in ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue). It has become a new engine for revenue growth, and the commercialization of the token economy has far exceeded expectations. The company launched the world’s first TokenOS operating system, which focuses on data capabilities. It transforms enterprises’ multi-source, heterogeneous data in real time into standardized, measurable, and priceable scenario-based tokens, establishing a seamless end-to-end pipeline from data ingestion to model invocation. This enables enterprise data to be directly utilized as tokens and drives the implementation of token factories across various industries. Building on this foundation, the company has also launched the TokenCloud platform, which focuses on model capabilities and “data + model” capabilities. This accelerates the development of an integrated, end-to-end product and service ecosystem spanning “computing power—data—tokens—models—applications,” covering the entire lifecycle from underlying computing power scheduling and data tokenization to model inference optimization, as well as the refinement, tuning, and deployment of enterprise-specific small models. This drives the transformation of AI from a general-purpose capability into enterprise-specific productivity. TokenOS and TokenCloud work in tandem to provide enterprise customers with a one-stop AI infrastructure, enabling them to reduce deployment costs and improve matching efficiency across computing power, data, and models. This “operating system + cloud platform” dual-drive architecture forms the company’s strong competitive barrier, helping it become the computing infrastructure partner for enterprise AI transformation. Accelerated Penetration Across Diverse Industries and Substantial Progress Toward Internationalization Xunce Technology began in the asset management industry, which has the most stringent requirements for data real-time performance. It has now extended its AI real-time data processing capabilities to eleven high-value, high-barrier industries, including telecommunications, electric power, energy, urban operations, and high-end manufacturing. The company is accelerating its penetration across diverse industries, and its ability to replicate solutions across sectors continues to be validated. In the first half of this year, the company collaborated with PATEO Connect and Saimo Technology to jointly develop a token-based physical AI and world model, entering the smart connected vehicle sector; it partnered with three major domestic GPU manufacturers—MetaX, Iluvatar CoreX, and Biren Technology—to build a “computing power + data” closed-loop system; and through a strategic partnership with Shenzhen Kaihong, it implemented tokenization capabilities within the HarmonyOS ecosystem to explore world models and physical AI. The “Scenario Token Factory” model continues to be validated across multiple industries, scenarios, and ecosystems. As a result, the company’s revenue from diversified industries rose to 87.6%, making its business structure more diversified and opening up broader growth opportunities for the company. In addition, the company is actively expanding its overseas operations, accelerating the global rollout of the TokenOS operating system and its tokenization business model; it has also entered into strategic partnerships with the Shenzhen Data Exchange and the Beijing International Data Exchange, laying the foundation for global expansion. In the first half of the year, the company’s overseas revenue reached 11.86 million yuan，year-over-year increase of 264%. Four-Stage Evolution of AI Data Infrastructure: Strategic Initiatives Across Five Key Directions Looking ahead, Xunce Technology has established a strategic evolution path for the four-stage transformation of AI data infrastructure: starting with data governance (1.0), progressing through the tokenization phase (2.0), and moving toward a global token exchange platform (3.0) in the future, while accelerating the training and large-scale deployment of enterprise-level small models (4.0). Specifically, in Phase 1.0, the company began in the asset management industry and expanded across sectors, fully validating its cross-industry data governance capabilities. In Phase 2.0, the company used TokenOS to refine enterprise private data into high-quality scenario-based tokens and provided one-stop services through the end-to-end integrated cloud service platform TokenCloud, opening up a growth channel for its token business. In Phase 3.0, the company will launch a global Token exchange platform to break down barriers to Token circulation across enterprises, industries, and scenarios. In Phase 4.0, the company will use enterprise-grade small models to bridge the “last mile” of AI implementation, forming a complete closed-loop ecosystem of “computing power—data—Tokens—models—applications.” At the same time, the company will implement strategic initiatives across five key areas: First, deepening the evolution of its business model by accelerating the transition from project-based and subscription-based models to exploring a Token-based business model; second, accelerating cross-industry replication through a “high barriers, high value” expansion strategy to continuously unlock growth opportunities across diverse industries; third, pioneering cutting-edge applications to secure a leading position in future industries; fourth, building a strategic partnership ecosystem to forge deep ties with upstream and downstream players in computing power and algorithms; and fifth, steadily expanding overseas operations to lay the groundwork for a global footprint. By implementing strategic initiatives across these five key areas, the company will continue to create commercial value for its customers and usher in a new cycle of exponential growth. These impressive financial results mark a turning point for Xunce Technology as it officially begins to realize its value. At a time when demand for high-quality industry data is surging due to the inference requirements of large AI models, the company has built a solid competitive moat through its proprietary token system and opened up vast opportunities for revenue growth through “in-depth cross-industry development and international expansion.” In the future, as the ecosystem of token exchange platforms matures and enterprise-level small-model applications are implemented, this will significantly expand the potential for profit growth, propelling Xunce Technology onto a fast track of rapid development.

Against the backdrop of intensifying competition in China’s domestic automotive market, sustained profit erosion from ongoing industry price wars, and a widespread phenomenon where automakers see revenue growth without corresponding profit growth, Chery has delivered a semi-annual report that demonstrates both scale resilience and earnings quality. Powered by its two growth engines, exports and new energy vehicles, the Company not only achieved steady scale expansion but also validated its long-term growth narrative with net profit margins that outperform peers and superior earnings quality, further underscoring its value in the capital markets. Steady Improvement in Operational Quality, in Line with Institutional Expectations Looking at the core operational data, Chery Automobile’s overall operational quality continued to improve steadily in the first half of the year, with its earnings structure particularly standing out. During the reporting period, the Company recorded revenue of approximately RMB 143,280 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 1.2%, fully demonstrating its robust capability to withstand cyclical industry pressures. Profit for the period reached RMB 9,016 million, representing a year-on-year increase of -9.0%; gross profit margin improved to 16.1%, representing an increase of 3.1 percentage points from the same period last year; net profit margin for the period came in at 6.3%, significantly outperforming industry peers and reflecting superior earnings quality. The core drivers of this earnings improvement lie in the Company’s new energy vehicle (NEV) business transitioning from a “scale-first” approach to a “scale-profit balance” strategy, and the acceleration of its globalization strategy, which is evolving from “exporting products” to a “full-system going global” model. The concurrent improvement in both gross and net profit margins validates the combined effectiveness of the Company’s NEV transition, product structure iteration, refined operations, and overseas business structure optimization, with operational quality and efficiency continuing to trend upward. The Company’s corporate strength has also been recognized by authoritative institutions. It made its debut on the Fortune Global 500 list as a listed company, securing the 383rd position. With a return on equity (ROE) of 36.5%, it ranked 30th globally on the ROE sub-ranking and first among all Chinese companies on the list. Its exceptional asset return capability, corroborated by net profit margins that outpace leading peers, underscores the Company’s outstanding profitability quality and capital return efficiency. In response to the common industry challenge of “more revenue but less profit”, Chery Automobile has been enhancing profitability through product mix optimization and expansion of its overseas business, thereby steadily boosting its resilience against economic cycles. Comparing the interim results with previous institutional forecasts, CICC had previously assigned Chery a target price of HK$35-40 and projected a full-year 2026 profit of approximately RMB20.2 billion. Based on the interim results delivered, the Company’s overall operations are broadly in line with institutional expectations, with overseas business performance significantly exceeding market projections. While intensifying competition in the Chinese market has exerted certain pressures, overseas revenue has emerged as a key performance engine. The robust growth in exports and the NEV segment has effectively offset domestic uncertainties, validating the strategic approach of “consolidating the domestic base while seeking incremental growth overseas” and laying a solid foundation for achieving full-year targets. Institutions generally believe that as economies of scale are further realized, overseas production capacity comes on stream, and new models ramp up volume, the Company's subsequent profit elasticity is expected to gradually materialize. Dual engine Growth Driven by Exports and New Energy Businesses to Build Longterm Growth Momentum Exports and new energy businesses constitute the dual engines underpinning Chery Automobile’s current round of performance growth. Together they create a dual-engine drive model of globalization coupled with accelerated NEV volume growth. In the first half of the year, Chery Group’s overseas business saw explosive growth, with cumulative exports hitting 943,800 units, representing a substantial yearonyear rise of 71.5%. Its leading edge in globalization has been further consolidated. Overseas revenue has grown robustly, becoming a key engine driving performance. Moving beyond simple complete-vehicle exports, Chery Automobile has kept ramping up overseas resource investment to advance localized production, channel development and supply-chain deployment. Breaking away from the pure completevehicle export model, it is pursuing integrated overseas operations spanning research, manufacturing and sales. As at the end of July, Chery Group’s cumulative global user base exceeded 20.16 million, of which overseas users totaled over 6.99 million. This sizable user base bears testament to its past overseas achievements and forms a solid foundation for the future realization of overseasmarket value, fully demonstrating the robust global manufacturing capabilities of Chinese automakers. The new energy business also delivered highquality growth against headwinds, acting as the other pillar of its dual-engine drive model. In the first half of the year, Chery Group posted new energy sales of 475,200 units, up 32.3% yearonyear. Its monthly wholesale volume of new energy vehicles has surpassed 100,000 units for multiple consecutive months, ranking among the industry’s top three with robust growth momentum. New energy penetration keeps rising, reaching 62% for Chery Group’s domestic market in July. To date, the Group has built a comprehensive product matrix covering the RMB50,000 to RMB500,000 price brackets. It has established presence across multiple market segments, ranging from compact city cars and rangeextended SUVs in the RMB200,000 price bracket to highend MPVs and offroad vehicles. Beyond driving sales volume growth, the new energy business has fueled overall product structure iteration. It works in synergy with overseas operations to lift gross and net profit margins, acting as a critical lever for improved earnings quality and consolidating the foundation for full-year development. Looking ahead, multiple catalysts are expected to further unlock Chery Automobile’s growth potential. On the new model cycle front, the first production model of the FREELANDER brand is set to commence deliveries shortly. Co-developed by Chery and Jaguar Land Rover as a global premium NEV brand, FREELANDER will be manufactured at the upgraded Changshu plant (Chery Jaguar Land Rover Changshu Manufacturing Base). Over the coming years, the brand plans to roll out a series of new models, targeting both the domestic Chinese market and overseas markets. In parallel, key models such as the Luxeed RX are poised for launch and will be gradually introduced to the market, further enriching Chery’s premium NEV portfolio and opening up room for the brand to move upmarket. On the overseas front, Chery Automobile continues to drive the unlocking of global production capacity. The construction and retrofitting of localized production facilities in multiple countries are steadily taking shape, as the Company continues to refine its global supply chain network. As overseas production capacity gradually ramps up, the Company’s international operations will no longer rely solely on CBU (Completely Built Unit) exports from China. Instead, localized manufacturing will realize further economies of scale, which is expected to sustain a relatively high growth rate in overseas markets and continue to contribute incremental earnings. Overall, the interim results for 2026 validate the effectiveness of Chery Automobile’s dual-engine growth model: “globalization coupled with accelerated NEV volume growth”, while simultaneously demonstrating a marked improvement in both earnings quality and the maturity of its global operations. Although competition in China’s automotive market remains intense, and uncertainties persist on the geopolitical and currency fronts, Chery’s superior earnings quality relative to peers, its rapidly growing and structurally improving overseas business, and its steadily rising NEV segment, combined with the two major catalysts of a new model cycle and overseas capacity release, underpin a clear long-term growth thesis for the Company. The Company possesses substantial future growth potential, which makes it a compelling long-term investment opportunity for investors. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

The Group recorded revenue of RMB3,947 million, representing an increase of 21.8% year-on-year. Gross profit was RMB849 million, up 18.3% year-on-year, and net profit was RMB213 million, up 12.1% year-on-year. Core operating profit (non-IFRS measure) amounted to RMB225 million, up 18.3% year-on-year, representing a core operating profit margin of 5.7%. Existing Franchised Stores Sales up 7.4%; Large-Store Remodelling Reshapes Per-Store Value When assessing the operational quality of a chain retail enterprise, sales of products to existing franchised stores are a more meaningful metric than new store opening numbers. As of 30 June, the Group had a total of 12,198 stores, representing a net increase of 1,798 stores. During the period, 365 stores were closed, with a store closure rate of below 3%. Revenue from existing franchised stores amounted to RMB2,581 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 7.4%. Excluding the impact of new store ramp-up, this indicates that the existing franchised store network still possesses organic growth momentum. Behind the growth of existing franchised stores, large-store remodelling served as the primary driver. In the first half of the year, 684 stores completed the upgrade to the large-store model. This upgrade is not simply about expanding floor space, but rather about using larger physical space to accommodate a wider range of categories and extended operating hours – expanding consumption scenarios from hotpot and barbecue to cover all daily meal occasions, and upgrading stores from mere ingredient sales points into comprehensive community family dining entry points. Penetration into lower-tier markets progressed simultaneously. The number of stores in township markets reached 3,377. By precisely targeting these markets with high-cost-performance bulk-sale items and large-pack family packs, the “one store per town” strategy taps into the vast hinterland of approximately 38,000 townships nationwide, with penetration potential far from being exhausted. Farm Business Grows Over Sixfold, New Growth Engine Takes Shape Online and membership data also recorded rapid growth. Registered members reached approximately 82 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 63.0%. Member consumption accounted for 73.2% of total sales, up 12 percentage points year-on-year, indicating that the revenue structure is increasingly concentrated among highly loyal customer groups. The Douyin channel saw significant growth: platform exposure exceeded 6.97 billion views, up 117.8% year-on-year; store GMV on Douyin reached RMB910 million, up 97.2%, initially forming a closed loop between online traffic and offline conversion. Guoquan Farm was the fastest-growing business segment during the period. Its omni-channel paid GMV reached RMB240 million, up over 600% year-on-year, and it brought in over 1.92 million new members for the stores. This model does not set up an independent e-commerce platform; instead, it leverages the existing store network as front-end warehouses and pickup points, while online content seeding and traceability livestreams drive traffic, forming a closed loop of “direct sourcing – content seeding – online ordering – in-store pickup”, which theoretically reduces marginal costs. Among best-selling products, the Golden Pillow Durian Pulp attracted a total of 1.559 million buyers, with a repurchase rate of 22.06%, and also boosted sales of related categories such as durian mille-crêpe cakes, Beihai cooked salted duck eggs, and crispy ice cream. In August, the “Grassland Sheep Traceability” livestream achieved over 8.09 million total exposures within three hours, with a peak concurrent viewership of 173,000. The Farm model completely removes the physical constraints of store floor space and freezer capacity from Guoquan’s category boundaries – the “infinite shelf” combined with a 10,000-store fulfilment network represents a critical leap forward in its transformation from a hotpot ingredient retailer to a full-category platform for home dining. Institutionalised Return Mechanisms; Hong Kong Flagship Store Launched The Board proposed the payment of an interim dividend of RMB0.0503 per ordinary share (tax inclusive), totalling approximately RMB128 million. During the period, the Group repurchased a total of 82,201,200 H shares on the Stock Exchange at an aggregate consideration of approximately HK$192 million. The dividend together with the share buybacks amounted to approximately RMB296 million, equivalent to 139.9% of the profit attributable to owners of the parent for the period (RMB211 million). The shareholder return ratio increased from 5.6% in 2024 and 2025 to 7.1%. In addition to the amount, the Board also approved the 2026 H-Share Equity Incentive Plan, which adopts core operating profit as the performance indicator. The reference target values for the years 2026 to 2030 are set to gradually increase from no less than RMB600 million to no less than RMB1.2 billion. By anchoring the assessment to profit rather than revenue or store count, the plan helps guide management to focus on profitability, better aligning management’s interests with those of shareholders. The high dividend payout provides immediate returns, while the equity incentive focuses on long-term growth. The Hong Kong flagship store opened on 18 August, serving as the first stop for the brand’s overseas expansion. Its positioning is not rapid replication, but rather validating the large-store model in high-tier cities and localised supply chain capabilities. According to publicly available data, the Greater Bay Area, with a population of 87 million and an economic aggregate of RMB15 trillion, coupled with the logistics efficiency of the “one-hour living circle”, provides ample room for subsequent regional deepening. Integrated Manufacturing-Retail Closed Loop; Synergies Gradually Unfolding Linking these strategies together is the “manufacturing-retail integration” capability that Guoquan has built over the years. On the front-end “retail” ecosystem – community stores, township stores, large stores, camping stores, stir-fry stores, flash delivery, and Farm – it reaches consumers, understands scenarios, and accumulates member data. On the back-end “manufacturing” ecosystem – seven ingredient production facilities covering core categories such as seasonings, beef, surimi, and aquatic products, with a “single product, single factory” strategy complemented by digitalised central warehouses – it converts front-end demand into scaled product supply. During the period, external sales from the industrial end increased by 20.7% year-on-year, reflecting the potential for the supply chain capability to be externally deployed. The Danzhou Industrial Park in Hainan was topped out, Heyi Meat’s Phase II commenced production, and the Daixiaji Zhangzhou factory was contracted, indicating that the production capacity landscape continues to expand. Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, with the continued replication of the large-store model, the regular operation of the Farm traceability IP, and the gradual accumulation of operating data from the Hong Kong flagship store, Guoquan is expected to gain clearer market recognition of its positioning as a “home dining infrastructure platform”. From a 10,000-store scale to an ecosystem platform, Guoquan’s strategic transformation is entering a substantive realisation phase. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

Revenue: Net Interest Income Drives Growth; Fee-Income Volatility Mirrors Broader Industry Trends Bank of Chongqing's headline revenue figures provide a useful starting point. In 2025, the bank reported revenue of RMB 15.113 billion, up 10.48% year on year, while net profit attributable to shareholders rose 10.49% to RMB 5.654 billion. The momentum carried into the first quarter of 2026. Revenue increased 11.57% to RMB 3.996 billion and net profit rose 11.22% to RMB 1.898 billion, marking another quarter of double-digit growth in both metrics. Preliminary results for the first half of 2026 showed revenue of RMB 8.486 billion, up 10.80% year on year; profit before tax of RMB 4.081 billion, up 7.82%; and net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 3.518 billion, up 10.28%. This marked a fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in both revenue and attributable net profit, making Bank of Chongqing the only bank among the 42 listed on China's A-share market to do so. A closer look at the revenue mix shows that net interest income has been the principal growth engine. It reached RMB 12.459 billion in 2025, an increase of 22.44%. The momentum remained firm in 2026, with first-quarter net interest income rising 12.83% to RMB 3.548 billion, pointing to another solid first-half performance. As a locally rooted city commercial bank, Bank of Chongqing has played an active role in supporting the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle and the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor. Growth backed by strong demand from the real economy is more sustainable and gives the bank a defensible revenue base in an increasingly competitive market. Fee and commission income tells a different story. Banks' fee businesses have entered a period of deep adjustment amid tighter enforcement of rules requiring reported bancassurance commission rates to match actual payments, lower mutual-fund distribution fees, and volatility in wealth-management markets. Sharper swings in wealth-management markets produced a marked divergence in fee income among listed city commercial banks in 2025. Against the backdrop of interest-rate liberalization, while a handful of institutions continued to grow on the back of the sector's winner-takes-more dynamics, the industry remained broadly under pressure, with several listed city commercial banks recording declines of around 30% in net fee and commission income. Bank of Chongqing held up relatively well: the decline in its fee income narrowed in 2026, with early signs of stabilization and recovery. The bank has also made headway in improving the quality of its fee income. In 2025, it ranked first in Chongqing by non-financial corporate bond underwriting volume, market share, and number of issues. It also led locally incorporated financial institutions across western China. In trade finance, cross-border renminbi settlement volume increased by more than 120% year on year. These higher-quality fee income streams, underpinned by stronger service capabilities, are gradually displacing traditional conduit business and emerging as a new growth driver. Net interest margin, or NIM, rose to 1.39% in 2025 from 1.35% in 2024, an increase of 4 basis points. A breakdown of asset yields and funding costs shows what drove the improvement: Although the average yield on loans fell by 12 basis points, the average cost of deposits declined by 37 basis points. The larger reduction in funding costs offset downward pressure on asset yields, enabling the bank to deliver a stronger improvement in NIM than the industry average and highlighting more effective management of deposit pricing. Total assets reached RMB 1.034 trillion at the end of 2025, up 20.67%, taking the bank above the RMB 1 trillion threshold. Expansion continued in 2026: assets rose to RMB 1.108 trillion at the end of March, up 7.20% from year-end, and to RMB 1.109 trillion at the end of June, up 7.27% from end-2025. Market observers see the bank's growth potential at its new scale as evidence that its “Five Highs” operating strategy, centered on ambitious goals, strategic transformation, efficient operations, quality service, and high-quality growth, is gaining traction. Through greater efficiency and higher-value services, Bank of Chongqing has achieved a step-change in scale and built a more differentiated competitive position as it moves toward the ranks of leading listed commercial banks. As a locally rooted financial institution, Bank of Chongqing has anchored its growth in China's Western Development strategy and achieved a step-change in scale as it grew in tandem with the regional economy. Outstanding corporate loans rose 30.95% year on year at the end of 2025. Backed by coordinated execution across the organization, credit was directed to national priorities including the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle and the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, as well as Chongqing's '33618' modern manufacturing cluster system. The annual report showed a 60% increase in outstanding loans to technology-based enterprises and 40% growth in green lending. Manufacturing loans posted their largest absolute increase and fastest growth in five years. Outstanding financing in support of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor exceeded RMB 55 billion. This lending not only supports the real economy but also embeds the bank more deeply in customers' transaction flows, helping it attract substantial low-cost demand deposits as its balance sheet expands. 2. Risk: Broad-Based Improvement in Forward-Looking Indicators Reinforces Asset Quality Bank of Chongqing has put its belief that 'risk management creates value' into practice by upgrading its risk controls and steadily reducing risk exposure. At the end of 2025, the non-performing loan ratio fell by 11 basis points year on year to 1.14%. More importantly for investors, forward-looking asset-quality indicators improved in tandem: the special-mention loan ratio and overdue loan ratio declined by 70 basis points and 37 basis points from the start of the year to 1.94% and 1.36%, respectively. Asset quality improved further in the first quarter of 2026. At the end of March, the non-performing loan ratio fell by another 2 basis points to 1.12%, while the provision coverage ratio rose by 1.02 percentage points from year-end to 246.60%. The continued improvement in these forward-looking indicators, together with steadily rising provision coverage, reduces the risk of potential problem loans migrating into the non-performing category, strengthens the margin of safety, and highlights the bank's capacity to absorb credit risk. 3. Institutional Views: Capital Replenishment Potential and the Case for a Valuation Re-rating At the end of 2025, the bank's core Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio stood at 8.53%. Rapid asset growth has consumed some capital, but the bank's RMB 13 billion convertible bond is now in its conversion period. Chongqing Expressway Group's decision to convert its holdings into shares may be only the beginning. By the end of March 2026, the bank's core Tier 1 and total capital adequacy ratios had risen to 8.67% and 12.57%, respectively. Institutional estimates suggest that full conversion of the remaining bonds could materially strengthen capital and create room for continued balance-sheet expansion during China's 15th Five-Year Plan period. After Bank of Chongqing released its annual and first-quarter reports, the market response was broadly positive. Analysts at CITIC Securities, China Merchants Securities, Zhongtai Securities, Guotai Haitong Securities, China Galaxy Securities, and Zheshang Securities published a series of follow-up notes, with ratings ranging from Buy and Overweight to Recommend and Outperform. The common thread across the reports was that the bank's move beyond RMB 1 trillion in assets was not simply a story of scale; it was also accompanied by tangible progress in lowering funding costs and improving asset quality. 4. Conclusion: A Clear Case for a Return to a More Reasonable Valuation Taken together, Bank of Chongqing's performance in 2025 and the first half of 2026 points to several positive shifts: assets have crossed RMB 1 trillion, revenue and profit growth have returned to double digits, NIM has bottomed and begun to recover, and risk indicators continue to decline. These stronger fundamentals could increasingly feed through to the bank's market valuation. According to a June 9 report by BOCOM International, the banking sector was trading at between 0.5 and 0.8 times book value, near the bottom of its valuation range. That has sharpened investor focus on listed banks' share-price performance and market-capitalization management practices. Changjiang Securities argues that a turning point in fund flows into bank stocks is already in place. Broad-based index funds tracking the CSI 300 recorded net outflows of nearly RMB 1 trillion in the first half of 2026, while active mutual funds' exposure to banks fell to a record low. The brokerage believes the impact of those reductions has now been fully absorbed, and that bank valuations will enter a slow, gradual recovery from the second half of 2026. With sector NIMs stabilizing and earnings expectations improving, high-quality regional city commercial banks are drawing renewed institutional interest. As confidence in Bank of Chongqing's re-rating case grows, a higher weighting in institutional portfolios, together with the stock's high dividend yield and low valuation, could help the shares move decisively out of undervalued territory and toward a more reasonable valuation.

To drive the digital transformation of Hong Kong’s green minibuses and facilitate cross-border travel between Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland, Wonder, a leading FinTech and payments platform for merchants in Hong Kong and Asia-Pacific, Weixin Pay (WeChat Pay), and Koon Wing Motors signed a cooperation intention at the “Hong Kong Minibus Smart Transit Cooperation Signing Ceremony” held on 18 August 2026. This cooperation marks a pivotal milestone in the integration of public transportation between Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. By deploying the Wonder Transit X smart mobility platform across Hong Kong’s green minibus network, the initiative will comprehensively drive innovation in smart payments, smart ticketing, and digital operations, delivering a seamless, frictionless commuting experience for local residents and cross-border passengers, further deepening the integration of FinTech with Hong Kong’s public transit sector.   Under the cooperation agreement, Wonder Transit X will be integrated into the green minibus fleet operated by Koon Wing Motors, seamlessly bridging Weixin Pay, Wonder’s smart mobility solutions, and the local green minibus network. In particular, routes servicing the new Huanggang Port will introduce Wonder Transit X to support a versatile array of electronic payment methods, including Weixin Pay, thereby streamlining cross-border commutes for both tourists and local residents. This cooperation will introduce various digital payment options and digital operational capabilities to these critical routes, elevating the passenger journey while empowering operators to optimize ticketing, transaction processing, and daily administrative efficiency. This deployment signifies the official expansion of Wonder Transit X into Hong Kong’s green minibus sector, laying a solid foundation for the digital transformation of local public transport. Wayne Chen, Regional Head of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, Weixin Pay, said, “Minibuses are a cornerstone of Hong Kong's transit infrastructure, essential for both the immersive travel experiences of tourists and the everyday needs of Greater Bay Area residents. We believe this cooperation with Koon Wing Motors will significantly optimize transit efficiency, eliminate the friction of cash handling, and digitally transform the 'last mile' of cross-border connectivity.” Ma Kiu Sang, Director of Yan Yan Motors Ltd., a subsidiary of Koon Wing Motors, said, “To enhance the commuting experience for passengers utilizing our green minibuses post-clearance at the Heung Yuen Wai and new Huanggang ports, we have upgraded our fleet with a state-of-the-art digital payment system. In addition to Octopus, cross-border passengers can now pay fares using Weixin Pay, credit cards and a wide array of digital payment methods, making every journey smoother and more convenient.” Jason Ngan, Founder and CEO of Wonder, said, “This cooperation underscores Wonder’s unwavering commitment to advancing smart city infrastructure through FinTech. By integrating Wonder Transit X into an expanding network of green minibuses, we are delivering more accessible, diversified, and globally recognized payment options to passengers, while injecting fresh impetus into the digital transformation of Hong Kong’s public transit system. Whether serving local residents, mainland visitors, or international tourists, our platform ensures everyone can utilize their preferred payment methods for a frictionless and inclusive travel experience. Given the intensifying cross-border connectivity, incorporating commonly used payment tools in the Chinese Mainland like Weixin Pay into minibus routes connecting port-adjacent communities directly addresses the pragmatic needs of cross-border passengers. We look forward to working with Weixin Pay and Koon Wing Motors to seamlessly integrate smart payment capabilities into the daily commutes of Hong Kong citizens and facilitating cross-border travel, further cementing Hong Kong's leading position as an international smart city.” Wayne Chen, Weixin Pay (WeChat Pay), Regional Head of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan; Ma Kiu Sang, Director of Yan Yan Motors, a subsidiary of Koon Wing Motors; and Jason Ngan, Founder and CEO of Wonder, at the Hong Kong Minibus Smart Transit Cooperation Signing Ceremony. Digitalizing Public Transit: Elevating the Passenger Experience and Operational Efficiency Public transportation is an integral component of daily life in Hong Kong. In tandem with ongoing smart city initiatives, the digital transformation of public transit has become paramount. This cooperation will offer convenience to passengers on the relevant green minibus routes. Local residents, Mainland visitors and international travelers can seamlessly settle fares using a comprehensive suite of digital payment solutions tailored to their preferences, including Weixin Pay, PayMe, UnionPay, UnionPay app, JCB, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Diners, and BOC Pay. This effectively eliminates the reliance on cash and exact change — a critical advantage during peak transit hours and short-haul journeys. Furthermore, digital payments ensure transparent transaction records and instant confirmation, granting passengers peace of mind and real-time visibility into their fare expenditures. Over the long term, this cooperation will drive the modernization of minibus services, aligning them more closely with the contemporary needs of the public.   Beyond serving local communities, this cooperation significantly refines the cross-border travel experience between Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland. Specific routes act as vital arteries connecting border communities, offering essential transit links for frequent cross-border travelers. Notably, as a flagship infrastructure project between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, the new Huanggang Port's connecting minibus routes will feature this diversified digital payment system. Mainland visitors can utilize familiar platforms such as Weixin Pay, mitigating the friction of acquiring Hong Kong currency upon arrival and ensuring a fluid transit experience. As minibus services increasingly integrate with border checkpoints, community transit hubs, and broader railway networks, this streamlined payment infrastructure will be instrumental in enhancing cross-border travel convenience. For operators, the Wonder Transit X platform centralizes fare configuration, transaction logging, and operational data analytics, substantially reducing administrative overhead. The system dynamically accommodates complex fare structures across varying routes, section fares, and passenger categories, supporting fare collection and management for various ticket types including adults, children and seniors. Leveraging robust digital transaction ledgers and backend administrative tools, operational teams can gain better insights into transaction and operational conditions across various routes, laying the groundwork for digital fleet management and service optimisation, ultimately elevating the experience for both frontline drivers and passengers. Green minibuses under Koon Wing Motors now feature a new electronic payment system offering a wide range of payment methods including Weixin Pay, PayMe, UnionPay, UnionPay app, JCB, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Diners and BOC Pay. Wonder Transit X: “Any Payments. Any Transportation.” Wonder Transit X is a comprehensive, all-in-one smart payment platform engineered specifically for the transit sector. Anchored by the product philosophy of “Any Payments. Any Transportation.”, it integrates passenger payment processing, fare routing rules, transaction confirmation, and fleet management into a single platform.

Beyond green minibuses, Wonder Transit X supports various modes of transport and integrates with existing transport systems, making it highly adaptable for taxis, ferries, and broader public transit applications.   Smart Upgrades for Green Minibuses: A Benchmark for Public Transit Digitalization This cooperation illustrates the seamless expansion of smart transit platforms from fundamental payment gateways into comprehensive ticketing and operational management solutions. By unifying payment processing, fare structuring, and operational analytics, the platform fosters a more efficient, intelligent, and sustainable public transit model. This implementation will serve as a benchmark and operational blueprint for other public transport operators considering smart mobility solutions in the future.   Through this cooperation, Weixin Pay is extending its frictionless payment ecosystem deeper into daily commuting scenarios. Passengers utilizing Weixin Pay will benefit from the enhanced convenience of using their preferred payment option on designated green minibuses. Ultimately, this cooperation not only accelerates the digital transformation of Hong Kong’s green minibuses but also enhances cross-border mobility by optimizing the transit payment experience at border checkpoints. It simultaneously promotes the growth of Hong Kong's local payment ecosystem, cross-border payment convenience, and smart mobility services, injecting new momentum into Hong Kong's smart city development. Green minibus routes operated by Koon Wing Motors serve vital port-adjacent communities, delivering a smart travel experience for cross-border passengers between Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland.

During the reporting period, innovative drugs remained the Company’s key growth driver, while globalization initiatives continued to validate the global value of Hengrui’s innovation portfolio. Financial Highlights In the first half of 2026, Hengrui reported revenue of RMB15.46 billion. Drug sales revenue was RMB13.95 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 1.87%. Innovative drug sales increased by 16.38% year-over-year and accounted for 63.16% of total drug sales, with non-oncology innovative drug sales increasing by 73.97% year-over-year and emerging as an increasingly important growth driver. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was RMB4.47 billion, up 0.34%. R&D investment totaled RMB4.61 billion, representing 29.8% of revenue. Pipeline and Regulatory Highlights Hengrui continued to advance its pipeline in China during the reporting period, obtaining seven innovation-related approvals, including two Class 1 innovative medicines, one Class 2 innovative medicine and four additional indications. At the end of the reporting period, nine marketing applications had been accepted for review by China’s National Medical Products Administration, while 17 clinical programs had advanced to Phase III, 22 to Phase II, and 10 innovative assets had entered Phase I clinical development. Hengrui also reported progress across its metabolic pipeline. Two Phase III studies of ribupatide injection, a GLP-1/GIP dual receptor agonist, in China for type 2 diabetes reported positive topline results, supporting a planned NDA submission. HRS-7535, an oral small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist, met all primary and key secondary endpoints at Week 44 in a China Phase III obesity study, with continued weight loss through Week 50 and mean body-weight reduction of up to 11.1%. An NDA submission is planned. Global Partnerships and Business Development Hengrui continued to advance its globalization strategy through diversified collaboration models. Since 2023, the Company has completed 13 overseas business development transactions, including out-licensing, NewCo and strategic alliances, with a total potential transaction value of approximately US$42 billion. These collaborations include leading global pharmaceutical companies such as BMS, GSK and others.

Braveheart Bio also successfully listed on the Nasdaq Global Market on August 6, 2026. Scientific Recognition During the reporting period, 204 research findings related to Hengrui products were published in academic journals and received international recognition. Hengrui participated in the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting for the 16th consecutive year, with 91 studies accepted, including 11 oral presentations—a new high for the Company. Research in non-oncology areas was also presented at major international congresses, including the American Diabetes Association, International Stroke Conference, World Congress of Nephrology‌, American College of Cardiology, American Academy of Dermatology, and European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology. Outlook Looking ahead, Hengrui will continue to advance its innovation and globalization strategy, while further pursuing its dual-growth strategy across oncology and chronic diseases.

Everest delivered strong growth and reached an important profitability milestone in the first half of 2026. Total revenue increased 157% year-on-year to RMB 1.148 billion, driven by continued commercial momentum across the company’s portfolio. Gross margin excluding non-cash items reached 73.7%, while operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased by 64.0 percentage points year-on-year, reflecting increasing operating leverage and execution efficiency. From the first-half results, the company’s growth drivers are broadening beyond the commercialization of core products to include portfolio expansion, monetization of innovative assets, and global expansion. In the first half of 2026, the company achieved non-IFRS net profit of RMB 97.23 million, while IFRS net loss narrowed by 98% year-on-year. Everest ended the period with RMB 1.859 billion in cash. Following the reporting period, the company received approximately RMB 770 million in July from the upfront payment under its global licensing and collaboration agreement for civorebrutinib, further strengthening its financial position and capacity to invest in future growth. Mr. Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines, said: “Everest Medicines has entered a new phase of development as an innovation-driven, integrated biopharmaceutical company. Guided by our 2030 Strategy, we are strengthening our capabilities in innovation, commercialization, and global development, accelerating the realization of global value and laying a stronger foundation for sustainable, high-quality growth.” During the period, the company achieved profitability, while expanding its innovative pipeline and advancing its R&D programs. Through continued efforts to strengthen its BD capabilities, the company is developing a model that combines in-licensed and internally developed early-stage assets, exemplified by civorebrutinib (also known as EVER001), with internal incubation and development creating opportunities to out-license innovative assets and realize their value. At the same time, the company is bringing in high-quality mid- to late-stage assets, exemplified by NEFECON(R), while continuing to build its commercialization capabilities and generate further opportunities for BD partnerships. These efforts are enhancing the efficiency of innovation resource allocation and accelerating the translation of innovation into clinical and commercial value. Everest’s marketed portfolio continued to gain momentum NEFECON(R) maintained strong sales momentum. In the first half of 2026, sales revenue from NEFECON(R) reached RMB 889 million, with net sales increasing 94% year-on-year. Through deeper penetration across key hospitals, broader market expansion, enhanced physician and patient education, and continued generation of real-world evidence, Everest is supporting broader adoption of treatment strategies focused on addressing underlying causes, early intervention, and long-term management. Following approval, VELSIPITY(R) moved rapidly into commercialization, with local manufacturing progressing. XERAVA(R) delivered steady hospital sales growth, while local manufacturing advanced as planned. The company also reached an understanding with Hainan Herui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. regarding certain NEFECON(R)-related patent matters and entered into a commercialization collaboration for budesonide enteric capsules, further broadening treatment options for patients. Meanwhile, commercialization services for Hasten Biopharmaceuticals continued to contribute to revenue growth. Services for mature products under the CSO arrangement commenced in March 2026, generating RMB 145 million in service revenue and RMB 28 million in commercialization profit in the first half of the year. Mr. Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines, said: “In the first half of 2026, the company continued to execute its strategy and accelerate the translation of innovation into clinical and commercial value. Solid progress across commercialization, BD, in-house R&D, and global expansion further strengthened our foundation for sustainable growth and our ability to bring innovative therapies to patients. Our BD strategy is building a diversified portfolio of future growth drivers through global partnerships for internally developed assets and selective in-licensing of differentiated innovative assets, while our in-house R&D continues to generate clinical progress. With the establishment of a pan-Asia-Pacific commercialization platform, we are also extending our proven capabilities from China into other Asian markets.” EVER001 global licensing deal expected to accelerate overseas development In June, the company entered into an exclusive licensing and collaboration agreement with Travere Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TVTX) for the development and commercialization of civorebrutinib (also known as EVER001) in all markets outside China and certain countries in East and Southeast Asia. The deal has a total potential value of up to $1.1425 billion, including an upfront payment of $112.5 million and up to approximately $1.03 billion in additional cash payments tied to specified clinical development, regulatory and commercial milestones across up to five indications. Travere will also pay tiered royalties on future sales in its licensed territories, ranging from high single-digit to double-digit percentages based on annual net sales thresholds. CICC believes the partnership is expected to accelerate the global clinical development and commercialization of EVER001 and could advance its development in membranous nephropathy. BOCOM International is positive on EVER001’s overseas market potential and its development opportunities across additional indications. EVER001 achieved positive 52-week Phase 1b/2a clinical results, and a Phase 2 basket trial has been initiated in China to further evaluate its potential in autoimmune kidney diseases, including FSGS, MCD, and IgAN. BD expansion further strengthens the product pipeline The company continued to selectively introduce mid- to late-stage assets with strong commercial potential. MT1013, DMX-200, and Bejescin(R) strengthened its nephrology and autoimmune portfolio; CARDAMYST(R) and Sumecigrel (formerly known as Vicagrel) further expanded its cardiovascular portfolio; and LNZ100, together with VIS-101, enhanced its ophthalmology portfolio. With multiple assets moving through key regulatory and commercialization milestones, the company is building a diversified portfolio of future growth drivers. CARDAMYST(R) is expected to receive approval in the third quarter of 2026, LEROCHOL(R) and LNZ100 are expected to receive approval in 2027, and MT1013 is expected to receive approval in 2028. In-house R&D and pan-Asia-Pacific expansion advance The company’s in-house R&D also translated into clinical progress. The company’s proprietary AI+mRNA platform also advanced, with its personalized mRNA cancer vaccine EVM16 achieving its first-in-human clinical data readout and planned to enter an investigator-initiated Phase 1b study in the fourth quarter of 2026. EVM18, the company’s in vivo CAR-T therapy, has initiated IIT studies across multiple autoimmune diseases and is advancing toward global IND filings. The acquisition of Hasten Biopharmaceuticals (SG) Pte. Ltd. further strengthened the company’s global commercialization capabilities and established a pan-Asia-Pacific commercialization platform. The platform provides a foundation for scaling the company’s proven commercialization capabilities from China across Asian markets, supporting the regional expansion of both existing and future products. Meanwhile, CBC Group and the company’s Directors have collectively purchased 5.163 million shares since December 2025, with the transactions totaling more than HK$172.5 million, demonstrating their confidence in the company’s strategic direction and long-term prospects. Overall, Everest Medicines is gradually developing a growth model built on the commercialization of core products, portfolio expansion through BD, a pipeline of innovative assets generated through in-house R&D, and international expansion through global partnerships and its pan-Asia-Pacific platform. As the company enters its new phase, the coordinated strengthening of its capabilities in innovation resource integration, commercialization, and global development is expected to provide an important foundation for future growth.

Airwheel is bringing a new dimension of intelligent mobility to one of the most familiar products in travel—the cabin suitcase. As AI, robotics, and electric mobility move rapidly from emerging technologies into everyday life, Airwheel is rethinking how people move with their luggage. Its latest generation of intelligent rideable luggage integrates electric drive systems, smart controls, digital connectivity, and human-machine interaction, transforming the traditional suitcase from a passive carrier into an active mobility companion. Designed for airports, railway stations, business trips, exhibitions, and urban exploration, Airwheel's portfolio of Smart Suitcase, Rideable Suitcase, and Electric Suitcase solutions reflects a broader shift in travel technology: the suitcase is no longer simply something travelers carry—it can become part of how they move. From Intelligent Mobility to Embodied Intelligence Airwheel has focused on intelligent mobility, evolving from smart self-balancing vehicles and electric bicycles to intelligent wheelchairs and rideable luggage. Across these categories, the company has continued to explore how electric drive technology, intelligent control, and human-machine interaction can create a more natural connection between people and technology. That exploration is becoming increasingly relevant as AI and Embodied Intelligence move from algorithms and digital interfaces into the physical world. For Airwheel, luggage represents a particularly relevant opportunity. Modern travel has become faster and more connected, yet much of the journey still depends on physical movement between airports, railway platforms, hotels, convention centers, and urban destinations. These short-distance transitions can become one of the most tiring parts of a trip. Airwheel is addressing this overlooked part of mobility with a simple question: What if a suitcase could do more than carry belongings? What if it could actively participate in the journey? The company's answer is its Rideable Cabin Suitcase. By combining electric drive technology, intelligent controls, digital connectivity, and human-machine interaction, Airwheel transforms conventional luggage from a passive container into a mobility companion designed to move with its user. This approach offers a practical interpretation of Embodied Intelligence in everyday travel—bringing intelligent technology beyond the screen and into the physical experience of moving through the real world. Riding Turns Luggage into a Mobility Experience Airwheel's approach to more flexible travel begins with giving the suitcase the ability to ride. Its smart luggage integrates electric drive systems, motorized wheels, and intelligent riding handles, allowing users to switch from conventional pulling to electric riding. Whether navigating an airport, transferring between railway platforms, moving through an exhibition center, or exploring a city, users can reduce the physical effort associated with pulling luggage. For Airwheel, riding is more than a product feature. It represents a change in the relationship between travelers and their luggage. Instead of simply following behind, the suitcase becomes part of the movement itself. Luggage can move with the traveler rather than simply being pulled by the traveler. From Rideable to Connected: Building a Smarter Travel Experience Electric mobility gives the suitcase the ability to move. Intelligent connectivity adds another layer by connecting the traveler with the device. Airwheel has developed dedicated mobile applications for multiple smart rideable suitcase models, supporting major operating systems including Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS. Users can monitor riding speed, battery status, mileage, and other operating information while adjusting speed settings, controlling lighting, and accessing intelligent remote-control functions. Low-battery notifications and Bluetooth disconnection alerts further enhance everyday usability, while selected models support Apple Find My, allowing users to locate their luggage through Apple's established tracking ecosystem. Together, these capabilities move the Smart Suitcase beyond traditional luggage functionality. The goal is not to add technology for Airwheel sake, but to make interaction simpler, more intuitive, and more useful throughout the journey. Beyond Efficiency: The Emotional Value of Intelligent Mobility For younger travelers, a Smart Suitcase can become a distinctive expression of technology and personal style. For business travelers, an Electric Suitcase can reduce physical fatigue during frequent movement. For families, a Rideable Suitcase can give children a more active role in the travel experience. Airwheel's intelligent luggage portfolio includes 20-inch Cabin Suitcase configurations for compact travel as well as larger 24-inch checked-luggage models for longer journeys. Selected models feature 73.26Wh modular lithium batteries and relevant safety certification, while removable battery designs provide additional flexibility for different transportation scenarios. TSA-compatible combination locks are designed to support international travel and security inspection requirements. USB charging connectivity further expands the role of the suitcase, allowing travelers to conveniently power smartphones and other portable electronic devices while on the move. The result is a new category of travel equipment that combines several roles: luggage, personal electric mobility, portable power, and connected technology. Airwheel's Smart Suitcase Portfolio Airwheel continues to expand its intelligent luggage portfolio to address different travel needs, from premium business trips and cabin travel to long-distance journeys and family vacations. Airwheel SE3SXD Ai Luxury Suitcase: One-Touch Deployment for a New Riding Experience The Airwheel SE3SXD is positioned as Airwheel's flagship intelligent rideable suitcase, introducing a one-touch automatic deployment system designed to simplify the transition into riding mode. With a single press, the motorized front wheel and intelligent riding handle automatically extend and lock into position. The system eliminates the need for multiple manual adjustments before riding, with a maximum riding speed of up to 9.9 km/h. This shift—from users manually configuring a device to the device automatically completing part of the setup—illustrates Airwheel's approach to more natural human-machine interaction. Its 20-inch cabin configuration, smart app connectivity, and USB charging further position the SE3SXD within the emerging category of AI Suitcase and next-generation intelligent travel technology. Airwheel SE3SL+ Airport Suitcase: Smart Mobility for Frequent Travelers Designed for frequent travelers, the Airwheel SE3SL+ combines intelligent riding, smart connectivity, and a portable 20-inch design. The model supports riding speeds of up to 9.9 km/h and integrates smart app connectivity, USB charging, and Apple Find My support. Its 20-inch format makes it suitable for carry-on travel, while the modular 73.26Wh lithium battery and relevant safety certification are designed around modern transportation requirements. For business trips and premium leisure travel, the SE3SL+ combines the convenience of a Carry-On Suitcase with the mobility of an Electric Suitcase. Airwheel SE3S Smart Electric Suitcase: A Proven Rideable Mobility Platform The Airwheel SE3S is one of Airwheel's established rideable luggage models, combining a high-performance motorized wheel with riding speeds of up to 13 km/h. Designed for everyday travel and urban exploration, it helps reduce the physical effort associated with conventional luggage while providing a more engaging mobility experience. Its development reflects Airwheel's continued evolution of the Rideable Suitcase from an emerging product concept into a practical travel solution. Airwheel SE3T: More Capacity for Longer Journeys For travelers who require additional storage, the Airwheel SE3T features a 24-inch suitcase body with approximately 48 liters of capacity. Its internal organization and side-opening design are intended to make packing and accessing belongings more convenient, while riding speeds of up to 13 km/h help reduce the effort required to move larger luggage. The SE3T extends Airwheel's electric rideable luggage concept beyond compact cabin travel to longer journeys. Airwheel SQ3S Kids Suitcase: Bringing Children into the Travel Experience Designed for family travel, the Airwheel SQ3S gives younger travelers an opportunity to participate more actively in the journey. The smart rideable children's suitcase supports riding speeds of up to approximately 6.5 km/h, helping children keep pace with their parents during travel. An integrated high-fidelity audio system supports TF cards and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing children to enjoy music, stories, and educational content along the way. For young travelers, it is more than luggage. It becomes a personal rideable companion designed to add interaction and enjoyment to family travel. Technology, in this context, does not replace human experience. It enriches it. The Airwheel has continued to develop technologies spanning electric drive systems, intelligent controls, human-machine interaction, and personal mobility, applying these capabilities across different categories of transportation products. From smart self-balancing vehicles and electric bicycles to intelligent wheelchairs and rideable luggage, Airwheel has pursued one consistent question: How can technology become a more natural part of human mobility? To date, Airwheel has accumulated more than 600 patents worldwide, including international invention patents and PCT patents. Its products have also received recognition from international design programs, including the MUSE Design Awards, Berlin Design Awards, French Design Awards, and Asian Design Awards. For Airwheel, however, patents and awards are not the destination. The real value of technology lies in how it improves everyday life. Future intelligent devices may not simply answer questions or process commands. They may increasingly sense their environments, respond to users, participate in physical actions, and become more naturally integrated into everyday life. For mobility, this could mean smarter vehicles, more capable robots, and luggage with its own ability to move. Airwheel's intelligent rideable luggage represents one practical expression of this transformation. By integrating electric drive systems, intelligent controls, digital connectivity, and human-machine interaction into a familiar travel product, Airwheel is exploring how AI Suitcase, Smart Suitcase, and Rideable Suitcase technologies can evolve beyond conventional luggage. Ultimately, the purpose of intelligent mobility is not to make travel more complicated. It is to give people more choices—to move with less effort, explore with greater freedom, and experience more control, convenience, and enjoyment along the way. The world keeps moving forward. Our way of moving should evolve with it. Airwheel continues to explore how intelligent mobility can make every journey lighter, smarter, freer, and more enjoyable.

The company has principal operations in New Zealand and the United States and is incorporated in the Cayman Islands. SunScout commenced concurrent trading on NYSE American and NYSE Texas on August 12, 2026, becoming the first issuer with this combination of domicile and operational footprint to list on both exchanges. The offering was priced at $5.00 per Class A ordinary share, yielding gross proceeds of approximately $15.5 million. Upon closing, the company will have approximately 23.1 million Class A ordinary shares outstanding, implying a market capitalization of roughly $115.5 million based on the offer price. NYSE Texas, launched by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in March 2025 and headquartered in Dallas, currently hosts listed companies with an aggregate market capitalization exceeding $3.9 trillion, positioning it as a significant U.S. capital‑markets hub. The dual listing is expected to enhance SunScout’s brand visibility across the United States, particularly in Texas, where the company is pursuing strategic expansion, while also broadening its investor base. Three‑Pronged Clean‑Tech Portfolio; SunScout Products Emerges as Key Growth Driver As detailed in its prospectus, SunScout designs, develops, manufactures, and commercializes autonomous solar‑powered robotic mowers alongside complementary solar‑energy solutions. Its operations are organized into three segments: SunScout Products (autonomous solar-powered robotic mowers and complementary products), solar power development solutions, and engineering products and services under the Brunton Engineering brand, which encompasses clean‑energy hardware and high‑precision manufacturing. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the company reported total revenue of approximately $4.8 million, representing year‑over‑year growth of 93.6%. Solar power development solutions contributed approximately 40.9% of total revenue, while engineering products and services accounted for approximately 31.1%. Revenue from SunScout Products rose to approximately 28.0% of total revenue, up from approximately 18.5% in FY2024, demonstrating strong growth momentum. The prospectus explicitly notes that while solar power development and engineering services currently generate the majority of top‑line revenue, the SunScout Products segment captures long‑term growth opportunities aligned with global market expansion and is positioned as a core growth engine, accelerating the company’s transition toward a higher‑value, product‑driven business model. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global robotic lawn mower market is on a robust growth trajectory, valued at roughly $2.4 billion in 2025 and projected to reach $4.7 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. Robotic mowers still represent a small fraction of the broader lawn‑equipment market, leaving significant room for penetration. Rising labor shortages and escalating lawn‑maintenance costs are fueling demand for automation. Concurrently, regulatory initiatives worldwide to phase out gasoline‑powered outdoor equipment are gaining momentum, accelerating industry electrification. Shifting consumer preferences toward intelligent, convenient solutions are fostering deeper integration of robotic mowers with smart‑home ecosystems and the Internet of Things (IoT), creating substantial headroom for automated electric mowing solutions. Proprietary DSA Technology Enables True Off‑Grid Operation SunScout’s core competitive advantage lies in its proprietary Deployable Solar Array (DSA) technology, which allows its robotic mowers to operate entirely on solar power, achieving genuine off‑grid performance without reliance on electrical outlets. Conventional gasoline‑powered mowers emit carbon emissions, and while existing electric mowers eliminate direct emissions, they remain dependent on fixed charging infrastructure, constraining operational range and flexibility. The DSA mechanism enables solar panels to automatically deploy when stationary, tripling the surface area to maximize solar‑energy capture for onboard battery charging; panels retract during movement to preserve maneuverability. This design supports fully solar‑dependent, zero‑emission autonomous mowing, augmented by autonomous navigation and AI‑powered obstacle avoidance capabilities. According to the company, few competing products can function completely independent of external power sources. This capability unlocks deployments at sites without power outlets or charging facilities—such as golf courses, public parks, and large‑scale green spaces—delivering meaningful advantages for continuous autonomous field operations. Over the longer term, DSA‑based hardware insulates operating costs from electricity‑price inflation and enables rollouts in regions with limited or unreliable grid infrastructure. SunScout also emphasizes that its technology platform is highly adaptable and platform‑agnostic, opening potential applications beyond lawn mowing, including agricultural robotics, onboard solar‑charging systems for electric vehicles, autonomous patrol robots, and other mobile machinery. Three‑Tier Product Lineup and Rapidly Expanding Global Distribution SunScout’s autonomous solar‑powered robotic mower portfolio comprises three modular models: the residential‑grade SunScout Eco, light‑commercial SunScout Pro, and large‑institutional‑focused SunScout ProMax. The modular architecture supports incremental upgrades without extensive redesign, facilitating efficient global deployment across diverse terrain and climate conditions. For example, the entry‑level SunScout Eco integrates high‑efficiency photovoltaic panels into the top housing, converting sunlight to supply all energy required for propulsion, cutting assemblies, and onboard electronics. The unit employs a multi‑sensor suite and AI‑enhanced dual‑camera visual navigation to map work zones, identify lawn boundaries and obstacles, and optimize mowing routes. For larger and more complex sites, RTK satellite navigation is available to deliver centimeter‑level positioning accuracy. On commercial‑channel development, SunScout has established distribution partnerships with Wrissmer Werkstattsysteme GmbH (WWS) in Europe and MowBot Limited in Australia and New Zealand, and is in active discussions regarding potential distribution cooperation with major retailers, including Walmart. Beyond robotic hardware, the company provides end‑to‑end solar power development solutions, including system design, installation, and full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for commercial, industrial, and institutional clients. Through its Brunton Engineering brand, it also offers engineering products and services leveraging nearly 30 years of precision‑fabrication and mechanical‑engineering expertise, and is an accredited supplier to the New Zealand Defence Force. On the manufacturing front, assembly is currently conducted via SunScout Asia in Thailand. The company is advancing the establishment of an assembly and distribution center in Austin, Texas, through its U.S. subsidiary, which will build domestic production capacity and support long‑term North American expansion, aligning with U.S. policy emphasis on domestic robotics and technology supply chains. Recent actions by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) restricting authorizations for certain foreign‑produced robotic products further underscore the growing importance of domestic manufacturing and supply‑chain resilience. Net proceeds from the offering are expected to be used primarily for: (i) construction of the Austin manufacturing facility; (ii) sales and marketing activities; (iii) product research and development; (iv) inventory procurement; (v) repayment of one loan; (vi) consideration for the acquisition of Brightway Energy LLC; and (vii) general working capital purposes. Against the backdrop of accelerating global clean‑energy transition and continued expansion of the robotic‑mower market, market participants will closely monitor whether SunScout can leverage its proprietary off‑grid solar‑robotics technology to differentiate itself amid intensifying industry competition.

The Foundation: Kefi's Decisive Role in Building the TCR Ecosystem Kefi B.V. and its predecessor entity have invested the largest amount of capital into WSC Group among all shareholders since 2018, while simultaneously providing strategic resources and support to fellow shareholders throughout this period. This commitment was made well before the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) adopted the TCR Regulations as its global touring car standard. Kefi's high-conviction capital investment proved decisive, enabling the seamless integration of FIA standards and the global debut of the first commercially available road car bearing the TCR brand. Following this foundational investment, WSC Group successfully launched landmark co-branding initiatives with major automotive manufacturers. In 2019, the Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR road car was introduced to the European and Asian markets, pushing sales significantly with the strength of the TCR brand and becoming a sought-after performance icon. In 2021, the Hyundai Elantra N TCR Edition further demonstrated the power of the TCR brand to drive consumer car sales in global markets. These achievements confirm that the commercial potential of the TCR ecosystem is limitless, extending far beyond the racetrack and into the showrooms of the world's largest automakers. Beyond Capital: Kefi's Strategic Partnership and Long-Term Support Kefi B.V.'s contribution to WSC Group has extended far beyond capital injections. Over nearly a decade of close collaboration, Kefi has provided continuous long-term strategic support: referring high-value business networks and introducing real commercial opportunities to the company and its shareholders, offering professional advisory services on corporate governance, legal structuring, and financial strategy, and connecting WSC Group with strategic partners across the automotive, technology, and media sectors. "Over nearly ten years of close collaboration, we have grown alongside WSC," stated a spokesperson for Kefi B.V. "We have deep insight into the company's inner circle, its daily workings, and its operational details. We maintain absolute clarity regarding our rights as a major shareholder and creditor, and we believe the time has come to unlock the true, unmaximised value of this extraordinary global IP." Kefi as the Institutional Interface for WSC Given its extensive expertise in global laws, regulations, and capital markets, Kefi B.V. acts as the primary communication channel on behalf of WSC Group when engaging with institutional investors and sophisticated partners. This role ensures that WSC Group's engagement with the global investment community meets the highest standards of professionalism, regulatory compliance, and fiduciary transparency, standards that are essential for the company's path to a public listing. Kefi's efforts in this capacity have already brought tangible benefits to all minority shareholders by enhancing the company's credibility, expanding its investor base, and laying the groundwork for a liquidity event that will deliver significant value to all stakeholders. A New Chapter: Evolving for the Next Phase of Growth The TCR ecosystem has now matured into a global institution operating across more than 40 countries with over 16 major manufacturers. The scale and complexity of the business today demands institutional governance, centralized commercial expertise, and capital markets experience to take the platform to its next level of growth. Kefi B.V. and its aligned shareholders are therefore advocating for the introduction of enhanced professional structures and a business model upgrade that matches the ambition and scale of the opportunity ahead. From Grassroots to World-Class: A Platform for All Drivers At its core, TCR cars remain the most affordable and exciting category in global motorsport. With a complete race-ready car costing a fraction of GT3 or single-seater alternatives, TCR delivers thrilling, close-contact touring car racing that is accessible to a wide range of participants. Yet affordability does not come at the expense of competition quality. The TCR Series attracts the full spectrum of driving talent, from passionate gentleman drivers to top-tier professionals with elite driving skills competing at the highest level of touring car racing. This unique combination of accessibility and world-class competition is what sets the TCR Series apart and gives WSC an unrivalled depth of driver engagement across all levels. Kefi B.V. and its aligned shareholders aim to bring the enthusiasm of motorsport back to the world, to reignite the passion that comes from watching production-based cars, driven by relatable heroes, battling bumper-to-bumper on circuits and street tracks across every continent. Unprecedented Growth and Media Value The TCR ecosystem has demonstrated explosive growth. According to recent data certified by IRIS Sport, the Kumho FIA TCR World Tour saw its total media value increase by 103% in the past season alone. Global reach expanded by 33% to 296 million, generating 1.58 billion media contacts. With over 900 hours of broadcasting and a rapidly expanding digital footprint, the TCR ecosystem has proven its capability to deliver massive international visibility, particularly in high-growth markets such as China, Pan-Asia, and Latin America. The TCR Ecosystem: Beyond Traditional Racing The TCR ecosystem extends well beyond traditional circuit racing. WSC Group's intellectual property encompasses a comprehensive portfolio of assets and growth verticals, including e-sports and competitive sim racing, video gaming (PC and mobile applications), legal street racing events that bring motorsport directly to city centres, the ETCR (Electric) and HTCR (Hybrid) platforms for next-generation powertrains, and TCR-branded racing academies and driving experiences. This breadth of the ecosystem positions WSC Group as a multi-dimensional sports, entertainment, and technology platform with numerous avenues for monetisation and audience growth. Fundraising and Use of Proceeds To capitalize on this momentum, Kefi B.V. and its aligned shareholders are actively pursuing a new round of fundraising to prepare WSC Group for a public listing. The proceeds will be deployed towards: - General Working Capital: Strengthening the operational foundation and supporting day-to-day business expansion across all markets. - Research & Development and TCR Lab: Establishing a dedicated TCR Lab focused on advancing new materials for car kits and components, developing the ETCR (Electric) and HTCR (Hybrid) platforms, and integrating cutting-edge technologies such as solid-state batteries. The TCR Lab will position the ecosystem as the ultimate R&D testing ground for the automotive industry, attracting manufacturer investment and accelerating innovation. - Marketing and Fan Engagement: Expanding global broadcasting partnerships, developing digital content strategies, building experiential fan engagement platforms, and deepening relationships with drivers, racing teams, and national promoters worldwide. Future Growth Through Strategic Acquisitions Looking ahead, Kefi B.V. will leverage its extensive global networks and M&A expertise to identify and execute strategic acquisitions that complement and expand the TCR ecosystem. This may include acquiring complementary motorsport properties, technology platforms, media assets, or regional promotion rights that accelerate WSC Group's path to becoming the dominant global touring car and accessible motorsport conglomerate. Valuation Outlook: Exponential Upside Based on peer comparisons with publicly listed motorsport properties, including Formula 1 (market capitalization exceeding US$22 billion) and MotoGP (acquired by Liberty Media for €4.2 billion at 8.8x revenue), the future valuation of WSC Group upon achieving a public listing is expected to be exponentially higher than its current private valuation. The TCR ecosystem's unmatched global footprint (40+ series, 200+ annual races, 1,000+ cars, 16+ manufacturers) and its rare FIA endorsement represent an IP asset with no direct comparable at its current valuation level. Early investors stand to benefit from a significant valuation re-rating as the company transitions from a privately held entity to a publicly listed global sports and entertainment platform. Welcoming New Partnerships Kefi B.V. and its aligned shareholders warmly welcome new partnerships with major car manufacturers, leading technology companies, and upstream/downstream supply chain participants who share the vision of building the TCR ecosystem into the world's premier accessible motorsport platform. About WSC Group and the TCR Ecosystem Founded in 2014, WSC Group is the sole owner of the TCR (Touring Car Racing) technical regulations. TCR is the most successful customer racing concept of the 21st century, currently licensed to over 40 national and regional series globally, encompassing more than 200 annual races. Over 1,000 TCR-specification cars have been built by more than 16 major automotive manufacturers, including Alfa Romeo, Audi, Cupra, Geely, Honda, Hyundai, Peugeot, Toyota, and Volkswagen. In a rare endorsement, the FIA adopted the private TCR regulations for its top-tier touring car world championship, the Kumho FIA TCR World Tour. WSC Group is backed by a consortium of strategic investors who are committed to driving the next phase of the company's global expansion and public listing. Media Contact: Kefi B.V.

HONG KONG, August 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - OrbusNeich Medical Group Holdings Limited (“OrbusNeich” or the “Group”; stock code: 6929), a multinational medical device company specializing in interventional devices for percutaneous coronary intervention (“PCI”) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (“PTA”), today announced its interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (the “Period”). Despite macro uncertainties, the Group reported growth across all geographical segments. During the Period, the Group’s revenue increased by 18.1% year-on-year to US$98.7 million, supported by sustained product popularity across all regions. Gross profit reached approximately US$67.7 million, an increase of 21.0% from the corresponding period last year, while the gross profit margin rose by 1.6 percentage points to 68.5%. Profit for the period attributable to owners of the Company amounted to US$21.6 million, representing an increase of 9.0% year-on-year. Core operating profit, defined as profit for the period attributable to owners of the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses, net tax credit from deferred tax assets related to tax losses and finance income – net, amounted to US$18.1 million, up 20.1% year-on-year. Basic earnings per share rose to US2.62 cents (first half of 2025: US2.40 cents). The Group maintained a robust financial position, with cash and bank balances (including long-term bank deposits) of approximately US$224.3 million as at June 30, 2026. The Board remains confident in the Group’s business outlook and, having carefully reviewed its capital requirements and dividend policy, has resolved to declare an interim dividend of HK8 cents per share. This marks the Group’s first interim dividend distribution in its history and demonstrates its commitment to creating value and delivering attractive returns to shareholders. Mr. David Chien, Chairman, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of OrbusNeich, said, “Despite a complex and volatile global macroeconomic environment, OrbusNeich achieved growth in all major geographical markets, demonstrating the effectiveness of our business strategies, the strength of our global commercial platform and the industry’s trust in our brand. Product innovation remains the cornerstone of our development. Through proprietary R&D and strategic collaborations, we continue to enrich our portfolio while refining our global sales footprint and manufacturing capacity to build a more resilient business ecosystem. The Board’s decision to declare our first interim dividend reflects our confidence in the Group’s prospects and our commitment to creating shareholder value. Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage our competitive strengths to provide quality medical solutions to patients worldwide and generate sustained value for all stakeholders.” Healthy Growth Across All Geographical Markets All geographical markets recorded various degrees of growth during the Period. The strong performance of the Group’s proprietary and third-party products, coupled with the direct channel benefiting from the integration of the Taiwan distributor, drove revenue in APAC up 24.5% year-on-year to US$34.0 million. Revenue from the EMEA region grew significantly by 16.7% to US$26.2 million. Limited impacts on the Middle East markets were seen despite the ongoing regional conflict, while European direct sales markets such as Germany, France and Spain delivered robust performance. Meanwhile, the Group’s proactive strategy of participating in volume-based procurement (VBP) programs in the Mainland of China yielded results, with revenue from this market growing 4.8% year-on-year to US$10.1 million. As the Japan and US markets benefited from increased sales of new-generation and high-performance products, revenue from these two markets rose by 6.4% and 5.6%, respectively, reaching US$17.1 million and US$7.9 million. Unleashing Potential of the Robust Global Sales Network OrbusNeich’s sales network covers more than 70 countries and regions worldwide. In the first half of 2026, the Group officially launched local sales teams in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, successfully transitioning these markets to the direct sales model. This expansion has brought the total number of direct sales markets to 15, which contributed 60.3% of total revenue for the Period. Leveraging its widely recognized global commercialization capabilities, the Group continues to seek strategic partnerships with medical device manufacturers in order to capitalize on opportunities arising from the international expansion of Chinese healthcare companies and to enrich its product offerings. Since 2024, the Group has partnered with SonoScape to introduce its intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) products into select overseas direct sales markets. Product sales continued to grow during the Period and the market response was positive, fully demonstrating the success of this collaboration. Steady Progress in Innovative R&D, Proactive Positioning for the “Leave Nothing Behind” Trend OrbusNeich regards R&D as a core strategic pillar. As at June 30, 2026, the Group held over 215 granted patents and published patent applications in major jurisdictions worldwide, with more than 55 approved products, including 37 PMDA-approved products, 42 CE-marked products, 21 FDA-cleared or approved products, and 27 NMPA-approved products. During the Period, the Group continued to achieve milestones in product registrations and clinical trials, including: - Obtaining PMDA approvals for Sapphire NC ULTRA and Sapphire ULTRA, NMPA approvals for Scoreflex TRIO and Sapphire NC 24, and FDA approval for Teleport Glide; - Submitting applications for FDA approval of JADE Score and Sapphire 3, CE certification for Scoreflex QUAD, and NMPA approval for Teleport Glide, Sapphire NC Ultra, Sapphire ULTRA and JADE PLUS; In addition, patient enrolment for the clinical trial of its proprietary coronary paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (DCB) commenced in July 2026 in Japan. Completion is expected within 16 months, with the product’s first launch anticipated in Japan in 2030. The Group also plans to initiate its clinical studies in the Mainland of China for NMPA registration and CE mark application in the second half of 2026. Development plans for next-generation standard balloons are also in place to further strengthen its product portfolio. Optimizing Global Production Capability to Build a Foundation for Long-Term Growth As at June 30, 2026, the Group operates production facilities in Shenzhen, the PRC; Hoevalaken, the Netherlands; and Weil am Rhein, Germany, with an aggregate annual production capacity of approximately 2.1 million units of balloons and stents. To meet growing global demand, construction of the Hangzhou R&D and manufacturing facility is progressing steadily, with interior fitting out works, mechanical equipment installation, and external landscaping well underway. The facility is expected to receive the final acceptance certificate in September 2026 and is scheduled to commence operations by the end of 2027. Additionally, to strengthen its key growth engine in Southeast Asia, the Group plans to invest approximately US$2 million to establish a production base with GFA of 1,500 square meters in Indonesia, from which it will supply balloons locally to meet rising demand. Mr. Chien concluded, “Looking ahead, the Group expects to maintain strong revenue growth in the near term, supported by rising sales of eucatech AG and Scoreflex QUAD products, as well as the accelerated commercialization of third-party products, including IVUS products. In the medium to long term, we will continue to expand our PCI therapeutic portfolio, with our proprietary DCB product progressing on schedule toward regulatory approvals and positioned to become a key growth driver. We will also pursue organic team building and selective acquisitions to strengthen our European presence, enhance global competitiveness, and create sustainable value for patients, healthcare professionals and shareholders.” About OrbusNeich Medical Group Holdings Limited OrbusNeich is a multinational medical device company specializing in interventional devices for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) procedures.

The Group expects to record revenue of at least RMB 608.0 million—a year-on-year growth of at least 35%—and an adjusted net profit of at least RMB 60.0 million, up over 54% year-on-year. Across the family care sector—where average consumer spend remains under pressure and expansion costs are high—scale and margin typically move in opposite directions. Saint Bella Group has delivered concurrent improvements on both fronts. Normalizing the Base: Underlying Operating Power The statutory net profit figure warrants context. Statutory net profit is expected to be at least RMB 53.4million, compared to RMB 326.9 million in H1 2025. This variance bears no relation to operational health. In H1 2025, the Group recognized a one-off, non-cash fair value gain of RMB 318.2 million on pre-IPO financial instruments. Following its listing on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, these instruments were fully converted into ordinary shares, eliminating further fair value adjustments. Adjusted net profit is therefore the true measure of year-on-year performance. The elevated 2025 base was an accounting event; this year’s growth reflects core operating capability. As a company that listed in 2025, this marks the first reporting period where Saint Bella's core earnings power is presented cleanly to the market. A Reinforced Core Business Postpartum care centers remain the Group's core business and revenue anchor. The alert demonstrates steady improvements in brand premium and average spend per customer. In an industry highly dependent on word-of-mouth and localized execution, core business stability provides the primary foundation for expansion. Deepening core capabilities also serves as an efficient client acquisition strategy for downstream services. The trust built during a client's postpartum stay is an asset that is difficult to replicate, enabling Saint Bella to cross-sell adjacent services far more cost-effectively than acquiring cold traffic. Expanding the Lifetime Value: From 28 Days to Full-Cycle Family Care While a standard postpartum stay lasts 28 days, customer needs extend far beyond. During the period, Saint Bella's adjacent business lines—postpartum recovery care (STB Institute), home-based nursing (PrimeCare), and health nutrition (Guang He Tang)—all demonstrated strong growth: - Guang He Tang: Positions itself as a full-cycle Chinese nutritional brand for women, spanning pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause. - STB Institute: Delivers specialist care for expectant/new mothers and women's long-term wellness, reinforcing offline touchpoints and brand positioning. - PrimeCare: Introduced an age-tiered childcare program tailored for infants across developmental stages, extending customer engagement into early childhood. None of these extension businesses require acquiring clients from scratch; they scale on the existing customer base, systematically improving the Group's overall revenue mix. Twin Growth Engines: Organic Network Expansion & Strategic M&A - Organic Growth: Saint Bella continued expanding into new Chinese cities throughout H1 2026. Internationally, the opening of its first Baby Bella store in Singapore in April marked a shift from single-brand internationalization to a coordinated, multi-brand global strategy. - Strategic Acquisition: On 22 June 2026, the Group acquired Freya, a leading maternal and infant care brand in Wuhan with 13 years of local presence. Freya operates three standalone centers in prime districts (including a flagship 15,000 sq. m. facility with 160+ suites). This transaction doubles Saint Bella’s directly operated center count and capacity in central China while enhancing its standalone operational capabilities. Because the deal closed near period-end, its financial contributions will begin reflecting in H2 2026. AI-Driven Operational Efficiency Supported by refined management systems, Saint Bella’s selling and administrative expense ratios declined year-on-year. Dr. Bella, the Group’s proprietary domain-specific large language model, was integrated into in-centre operations and home-based services, boosting workforce productivity. Commercialization of its AI agent business also achieved its first revenue breakthrough. Technology continues to serve as an efficiency driver, helping optimize cost structures as operations scale. Share Buybacks & Full-Year Outlook Saint Bella Group has conducted regular share repurchases, reinforcing management’s confidence in the company’s intrinsic value and enhancing earnings per share (EPS). Looking ahead, the Group will continue executing its dual strategy of deepening core business capabilities and driving organic/inorganic network expansion across domestic and international markets.
