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.

The changes in revenue and profit were primarily because the majority of orders during the Reporting Period were derived from repurchases by existing customers, and the provision of services for most of these orders had not yet commenced. Such order amounts are expected to be gradually recognized as revenue in subsequent reporting periods upon the commencement of services.  As of the end of the Reporting Period, the balance of contract liabilities amounted to approximately RMB1,889.4 million, representing a substantial year-on-year increase of approximately 133.6%.

Since the beginning of 2026, Forthright SmartInvest App successively launched batch trading functions for US stocks and Hong Kong stocks, with core functions such as AI assistant, AI stock diagnosis, intelligent stock selection, and AI account analysis deeply integrated into usage scenarios.

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.

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.

Star-tier Services created a closed-loop ecosystem of “tools-services-trading”, continuously enriched premium functional modules. Through its tiered product matrix, the Group precisely addressed the differentiated needs of investors ranging from entry-level to advanced users. The enhancement of product capabilities directly drove steady growth in user scale and operational performance. During the Reporting Period, the number of paying users reached 462,217. The Group operated approximately 1,180 accounts on different internet platforms, attracting over 73 million followers. Monthly active users of SmartInvest App increased by approximately 15% year-on-year, with a 30-day retention rate exceeding 60%. Service quality improved simultaneously, with the refund rate for VIP products further optimized to approximately 19.8%, representing a decrease of 4.8 percentage points from the Corresponding Period, and user satisfaction steadily increased.

It adhered to the “buyer-side investment advisory” philosophy and combined AI technology for service efficiency enhancement. This empowered user service scenarios, product capability optimization, and employees” professional standards. During the Reporting Period, the institute cumulatively conducted 336 research sessions on listed companies, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 270 sessions. It also undertook on-site visits to more than 20 cities nationwide, covering more than 10 trending industries including biomedical science, mechanical equipment, and electronic semiconductors.

The quantitative products have been incorporated into the VIP business service system.

Adopting postdoctoral cultivation as a long-term talent strategy, the Group continuously enhances its competitiveness in investment research. Future Outlook The chairman of the Board and chief executive officer of JF SmartInvest Holdings Ltd, Mr. Chen Wenbin said: “In the first half of 2026, we consistently adhered to the dual-driver strategy of “technology + investment research”, and our overall development remained robust. During the Reporting Period, gross billings remained generally stable year-on-year, and contract liabilities grew substantially, accumulating ample momentum for subsequent performance release. We successfully completed the strategic acquisitions of Forthright, achieving a key milestone in our overseas expansion. AI capabilities are accelerating their penetration across the entire product matrix, the “1+N” investment research system continues to deepen with significant improvements in research density and depth, and all strategic deployments have made substantial progress. Looking ahead, the Group will firmly implement its Group-wide AI technology strategy, driving the continuous evolution of AI capabilities from “tool-based applications” to an “agent ecosystem”. At the same time, we will deepen our globalization strategy, leveraging Forthright as platforms and taking “dedicated investment advisory”, “in-depth investment research” and “AI intelligent investment” as core engines to build a new generation of internet securities brokerage and cultivate a second growth curve.

During the Reporting Period, the Group recorded revenue of approximately RMB569 million, representing an increase of 6.6% year-on-year (“YoY”). Gross profit was RMB354 million, up 11.7% YoY; Profit for the year was RMB179 million, a YoY rise of 10.2%. Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent were RMB0.45, compared to RMB0.41 in the same period last year.

The Board has resolved the payment of an interim dividend of HKD$0.04 per ordinary share for the six months ended 30 June 2026, maintaining a stable dividend policy. Policy Dividends Continued to Be Released, Lingang’s Location Advantages Solidified Growth Foundation As the largest private university in Shanghai, Shanghai Jian Qiao University (the “University”) has fully benefited from dual support from national vocational education policy and Lingang special area policy. In February 2025, the Management Committee of Lingang New Area issued “the Action Plan for High-Quality Development of Industry-Education Integration in Lingang New Area of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone (2025-2027)”, explicitly supporting the University in building itself into an industry-education integration university. In December 2025, “Shanghai Lingang Science and Technology Innovation City Construction Plan” was launched, encouraging universities to participate in regional innovation development and bringing the Group opportunities in terms of policy support and resources. At the national level, in February 2026, the Ministry of Education issued the “Opinions of the Ministry of Education on Deepening the Reform of Key Elements in Vocational Education and Teaching”, which focuses on the key links of industry-education integration. In June 2026, the State Council issued the “Education Development Plan for the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan Period” (the “Plan”), which proposes launching the “Dual Excellence” construction of high-level application-oriented undergraduate universities, and leading and driving universities to focus on cultivating distinctive disciplinary specialty clusters around key industrial chains. Driven by these multiple policies, the University has leveraged its location in Lingang’s emerging industry agglomeration to transform its geographical advantages into institutional competitiveness. As of 31 August 2025, 77.5% of the University’s 2025 graduates were employed in the Yangtze River Delta region and 59.2% in Shanghai, which fully demonstrated the University’s effective integration into the regional development ecosystem through its educational outcomes. Teaching Quality Has Been Steadily Enhanced, While Digital and Intelligent Transformation Has Been Vigorously Advanced The University remains committed to teaching quality as its core priority, with ongoing efforts to strengthen faculty capacity building, curriculum development and smart campus construction. In terms of faculty, as of 30 September 2025, among the full-time teachers, the master degree or higher accounted for 86.4%, the doctoral degree accounted for 28.8%, the senior title accounted for 38.6%, and the double-position accounted for 47.8%. Grounded in its positioning as an application-oriented technological university, the University vigorously promotes professional teachers to practice in enterprises, organizes thematic workshops on industry education integration, and enhances teachers’ awareness and competence in industry-education integration. In terms of program and curriculum development, in the 2026/27 school year, the University has introduced two undergraduate majors, namely the Artificial Intelligence and the Electronic Packaging Technology, closely aligning with the demands of key industries such as integrated circuits and artificial intelligence. The University focuses on courses connotative construction, constructs “school level – city level – national level” 3-level courses building system, and enhances practical teaching and quality teaching. In 2025, 12 courses were selected as Shanghai first class undergraduate courses - the number of approved courses showed a YoY increase of 50%, reaching a historic new high. Besides, 26 courses were approved as Shanghai higher education municipal level key courses - the number of approved courses ranked the 7th place among higher education institutions in Shanghai, and thus became the only private university in the top 10. The courses cover various types including “AI+courses” and “industry-education integration courses”. In 2025, the “Fundamentals of Gemstone Geology and Crystallography” course of the College of Jewelry was selected as a “Online/Offline Hybrid First-Class Course”, achieving a breakthrough for the University in the construction of national first-class courses. In May 2026, the “Fundamentals of Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment” course of the College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering was included in the national case collection of “Excellent Intelligent Manufacturing Courses”. The Group continues to deepen the upgrading and renovation of teaching and research instruments and equipment as well as teaching laboratories. The University has deployed smart classrooms integrated with high-definition cameras, intelligent audio devices and high-speed networks, and has built a smart teaching system covering the entire process of talent cultivation, curriculum teaching and quality monitoring. Furthermore, the Group has actively explored the deep integration of AI and education, embedded technologies such as AI, 5G, and VR into the teaching process, and initiated the construction of a DeepSeek-based large model for vertical-domain educational applications, thereby creating three intelligent agents for services, management, and teaching. Industry-Education Integration Has Been Further Deepened, While the Diversified Education Ecosystem Has Been Continuously Improved The Group is fully committed to building an industry-education integrated university. It implements a tripartite operational model integrating “academic schools + industrial colleges + corporate entities”, striving to achieve the synergistic development of “industry, academia, research, and innovation” as an integrated whole. As of 30 June 2026, the University has successively launched seven key industry-education integration projects covering the College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, the College of Journalism and Communications, the Business College, the College of Art Design and the College of Jewelry. It has established Medical Engineering Industrial College, the Live Streaming Economy Industrial College, and Big Data Industrial College, is actively preparing for the establishment of the Integrated Circuit Industrial College and the Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial College, and endeavors to create a distinctive educational framework featuring multi-track industry and college collaboration and comprehensive industry-education integration. International cooperation has made steady progress, while external exchanges have continued to expand. The University works with Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology, The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics, Teesside University, among others, in junior college to master’s program, undergraduate to master’s program, dual bachelor’s program and other programs. In 2025, the University contracted with 11 overseas famous universities/colleges in Germany, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Thailand and other countries, to expand teachers and students’ overseas exchange channels. As the first private university in Shanghai that has obtained the qualification to recruit international students, the University also attracts international students from many countries around the world and forms an international student education system that combines long-term and short-term programs. The University has a well-established lifelong education system. With the Shanghai “Dual-system” Pilot Base for Continuing Education of Employees in Higher Education Institutions (Incubation) as a platform, the University has built an integrated, multi-field and cross-age lifelong education system for knowledge updating and ability enhancement, covering adult higher education, vocational skills training, and youth science and innovation education.

Financial Position Remains Sound, While the Asset-Liability Structure Has Been Continuously Optimized During the Reporting Period, finance costs of the Group decreased by 69.0% YoY, which was primarily due to the result of early repayment of most of long-term interest-bearing bank borrowings by the end of 2025. As at 30 June 2026, the scale of interest-bearing borrowings decreased to RMB276.7 million, with the gearing ratio remaining at 0.1. The financial position has become more robust. Looking forward, Mr. Zhao Donghui, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of Gench Education, stated: “The Group’s performance in the first half of 2026 achieved steady growth, validating the feasibility of its high-quality development strategy. In the future, we will continue to adhere to the educational philosophy of ‘student-oriented, teaching-centred, undergraduate-focused’ and the work ideology of ‘quality as the core, teaching as the centre, students as the base, teachers as the principal’ to promote the high-quality development of our undertakings. We will also fully capitalize on this historic opportunity by proactively aligning with the national strategy of promoting the high-quality development of vocational education and with Lingang’s regional initiative of becoming a ‘Global Hub of Power’, cultivate more high-quality technical and skilled talents, and accelerate the transformation to an industry-education integration university, and strive to build our University into a first-class private university in China with more unique features and international standing and a long-distance runner for the high-quality development of higher education in China.” About Shanghai Gench Education Group Limited Gench Education (Stock Code: 1525.HK) is a higher vocational education group which provides undergraduate education and junior college education, focusing on high-quality schooling for the provision of excellent education for students.

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.

The growth in revenue was primarily attributable to the continued organic growth of the Group—driven by the accelerating adoption of digitalization across the global dental industry, particularly in Europe and Australia—alongside the stabilization and operational turnaround of the Mainland China market. This expansion was partially offset by a revenue decline in North America, which was impacted by a softer macroeconomic environment affecting high-value discretionary procedures, as well as management’s strategic decision to rationalize loss-making Dental Service Organization (DSO) accounts to optimize customer mix and protect margins. - The Gross Profit Margin for the six months ended 30 June 2026 was approximately 58.1%; the gross profit was approximately HK$1,180.9 million, reflecting an increase of approximately 17.4% as compared to the same period in 2025. - The Group’s EBITDA for the six months ended 30 June 2026 was approximately HK$ 560.7 million, representing an increase of approximately 22.8% as compared to the same period in 2025. - The Group’s Net Profit for the six months ended 30 June 2026 was approximately HK$ 377.6 million, representing an increase of 30.8% as compared to the same period in 2025. - Basic earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2026 amounted to HK40.07 cents, representing an increase of approximately 31.9% as compared to the same period in 2025. - The Board declared an interim dividend of HK14.0 cents per ordinary share for the six months ended 30 June 2026. ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS: - For the six months ended 30 June 2026, the Group’s digital solution cases that are produced from its Mainland China, Thailand and Vietnam production facilities increased to approximately 627,773 cases, reflecting an increase of 29.2% as compared with the same period in 2025 as a result of our clients’ continued adoption of intra-oral scanners. HONG KONG, August 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - 27 August 2026, Modern Dental Group Limited (“Modern Dental” or “the Group”, stock code: 03600.HK), a leading global dental prosthetic device provider, is pleased to announce the unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June, 2026 (“the Period”). In the first half of 2026, the global macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, with geopolitical tensions and potential tariff changes continuing to create headwinds. However, the Group’s geographically diversified production footprint and global distribution network position us strongly to navigate these challenges. Unlike many competitors reliant on single-country manufacturing, our operations across China, Vietnam and Thailand (including the newly acquired Hexa Ceram) provide superior resilience and flexibility. This strategy, combined with our ability to adapt quickly to local market conditions, enables the Group to mitigate risks and capitalise on opportunities across regions. The dental industry has continued to demonstrate remarkable resilience, underpinned by irreversible demographic trends, including aging populations and increasing awareness of oral health, which drive consistent long-term demand. Building on our well performance, the Group is well placed to sustain momentum and further strengthen its market leadership. Digitalisation remains an irreversible industry trend that is accelerating consolidation of the dental prosthetics industry. We are at the forefront of this transformation, with digital solution cases now representing approximately 35–43% of total volume. Our centralized digital workflows, intra-oral scanner partnerships, proprietary solutions and global education centers have enhanced operational efficiency, reduced turnaround times and delivers superior customer experiences. These initiatives create high entry barriers and will continue to drive margin expansion and market share gains in the coming years. European Businesses During the period under review, the European market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$1,093.3 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$173.0 million as compared with the six months ended 30 June 2025. This geographic market accounted for approximately 53.8% of the Group’s total revenue. The increase of revenue from the European market was attributable to the increase in sales order volume driven by the launch of new products, such as digital dentures, and our state-of-the-art digital workflows. North American Businesses During the period under review, the North American market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$331.3 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$34.4 million as compared with the six months ended 30 June 2025. This geographic market accounted for approximately 16.3% of the Group’s total revenue. The top-line contraction in North America was primarily driven by a softer macroeconomic environment, which temporarily weighed on consumer sentiment and demand for high-value discretionary cosmetic procedures. In response, management proactively initiated a strategic rationalization of loss-making Dental Service Organization (DSO) accounts aimed at optimizing the customer mix, protecting gross margins, and focusing resources on higher-margin accounts. Concurrently, the Group’s diversified production footprint across the US, China, Vietnam, and Thailand continues to afford significant supply chain agility to navigate trade and tariff complexities—a key differentiator in the market. Demonstrating the resilience of this strategy, our US import business unit delivered a 1.4% period-on-period sales growth in the first half of 2026. This performance underscores how the accelerating trend toward clinical digitalization and the cost-competitiveness of our imported product lines have effectively mitigated and offset the impact of US tariffs. Greater China Businesses During the period under review, the Greater China market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$300.0 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$6.8 million as compared with six months ended 30 June 2025. This geographic market accounted for approximately 14.8% of the Group’s total revenue. Regional performance reflected diverging market dynamics across territories. In local currency terms, sales in Mainland China increased by approximately 0.9% year-on-year, signalling that the market has largely bottomed out from the initial impact of Volume-Based Procurement (VBP) policies and prolonged price competition. To protect sustainable profitability, the Group deliberately pivoted away from low-margin segments to focus on serving mid- to high-value customers. Conversely, sales in the Hong Kong market decreased by approximately 8.5% in local currency year-on-year. This contraction was primarily driven by a temporary reduction in local patient visits, as cross-border dental consumption increased due to aggressive promotions for dental treatments offered by Mainland China clinics targeting Hong Kong residents. Despite these near-term shifts, the Group remains optimistic about the mid- to long-term outlook for the Greater China region. Government procurement measures in Mainland China are expected to standardize prosthetic pricing and enhance market transparency, creating a more level playing field where the Group’s leading brand reputation, production scale, and operational efficiency serve as distinct competitive advantages. To capture evolving market demand, the Group is actively expanding its product portfolio, particularly in mid-end offerings and products. Australian Businesses During the period under review, the Australian market recorded a revenue of approximately HK$162.8 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$24.9 million as compared with the six months ended 30 June 2025. This geographic market accounted for approximately 8.0% of the Group’s total revenue. The increase in revenue from Australia was primarily driven by strong adoption of digital dental products and anti-snoring devices, and wins in dental service organization (DSO) customers. Other Markets Other markets primarily include Indian Ocean countries, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore and Thailand. For the six months ended 30 June 2026, these markets recorded a revenue of approximately HK$145.2 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$27.4 million as compared with the six months ended 30 June 2025. This geographic market accounted for approximately 7.1% of the Group’s total revenue. The increase in revenue from Other markets was primarily driven by the strong revenue contributions from Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. The scaled manufacturing hubs in Thailand and Vietnam have enhanced regional supply efficiency, broadened product availability, and strengthened the Group’s competitive footprint in the region. Future Prospects and Strategies Looking ahead, the Group remains committed to reinforcing its worldwide leading position through a multi-dimensional approach. We will continue to pursue selective acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships to expand and complement our product offerings, particularly in our high-growth clear aligner, Trioclear, while strengthening our distribution and sales networks. Ongoing investments in mass-scale production facilities, AI, automation, research and development, and digital innovation will drive efficiency gains and secure our position at the forefront of the industry. With the Board’s extensive experience and prudent governance, the Group is well positioned to seize new business opportunities while remaining strict financial discipline to safeguard Shareholders’ interests. The Board expresses its sincere gratitude to our dedicated employees, loyal customers, suppliers, and business partners for their unwavering commitment. Their collective efforts have been instrumental in delivering another year of record results and will continue to support the Group’s long-term success.

Sixty confirmed speakers and moderators from eleven countries are named across three days, from 14 to 16 September 2026, at the Sofitel Riyadh Hotel and Convention Centre. Among them are Prof. Jin-Soo Kim of KAIST, whose work on mitochondrial DNA editing reaches beyond CRISPR; Dr. Matthew H. Porteus of Stanford University, engineering genetic circuits into cell-based medicines; Dr. Alex Shalek of MIT; Prof. Vijay Kuchroo of Harvard Medical School; Prof. Keith T. Flaherty of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and President of the American Association for Cancer Research; Prof. George F. Gao of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; President Mitsuo Ochi of Hiroshima University; and Dr. Zdenko Herceg of the International Agency for Research on Cancer. They are joined by the people who move science into the world. Dr. Steve Yang, Co-CEO of WuXi AppTec, and Mr. Alec Reynolds of Flagship Pioneering open the program on global partnership. Mr. Kasim Kutay, Chief Executive Officer of Novo Holdings, speaks on where capital should go next. Dr. Hyun-Young Park, Deputy Minister of the Korea National Institute of Health, delivers the closing keynote. Alongside them stand the Saudi institutions building a biotechnology sector in real time: KAIMRC, Lifera, HUMAIN, SPIMACO, KAUST, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, and Astronaut Rayyanah Barnawi on what the human immune system does in space. The program runs across six tracks: artificial intelligence in biotechnology, multi-omics, biotech investment, immunology, bioengineering and synthetic biology, and biotech workforce development. Its defining feature is that discovery and delivery share the same stage. Genome editing and population genomics sit beside regulation, domestic manufacturing, and procurement, and in several sessions the scientists and the regulators are on the same panel. That is the premise of the Kingdom's National Biotechnology Strategy, which targets $34.6 billion in non-oil GDP from biotechnology by 2040: a discovery is worth only as much as the system available to carry it to a patient. "Biotechnology is where the health of every nation will be decided over the next twenty years. Saudi Arabia has chosen not to watch that happen from a distance. We are building the laboratories, the manufacturing, the regulatory ecosystems, and above all, the bio-workforce talent. And we are building it in partnership with the world, under one roof. That is what this Summit is for. Its themes highlight where medicine and biotechnology converge to shape the future of biosciences. Discoveries and breakthroughs are transforming how we care for patients. The diversity of emerging technologies and therapies is creating significant opportunities to explore, advance, invest, and translate scientific progress into better health outcomes. Please join us in Riyadh this September." H.E. Prof. Bandar bin Abdulmohsen Al-Knawy, Chief Executive Officer of Health Affairs, Ministry of National Guard, and President, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences The Summit is organized and supervised by the Ministry of National Guard, represented by its Health Affairs sector, and hosted by King Abdullah International Medical Research Center (KAIMRC) and King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS), with the Ministry of Investment and Invest Saudi serving as strategic partners. The fourth edition is expected to welcome more than 15,000 visitors, over 200 biotechnology and healthcare brands, and delegations from more than 70 countries, under the theme Building the Foundations of Biotechnology Excellence. The full scientific program is attached and available at rgmbs.org, where registration is open for delegates, exhibitors, and industry partners. Follow the Summit at #RGMBS2026.

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).

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. Microbrand participation doubles, bringing greater diversity to the fair Located in Hall 3FG, Salon de TIME features six themed zones: World Brand Piazza, Chic & Trendy, Craft Treasure, Renaissance Moment, Wearable Tech, and Microbrands. The Microbrands zone has attracted 29 brands from eight countries and regions, with both the number of participating brands and the number of represented countries and regions doubling compared with last year. World Brand Piazza showcases prestigious international watch brands For the 16th consecutive year, the World Brand Piazza zone is organised in partnership with Prince Jewellery & Watch, featuring limited-edition and rare timepieces from some of the world’s most prestigious watch brands. This year, Prince Jewellery & Watch will showcase exceptional creations from six internationally renowned brands: Baume & Mercier, Corum, DeWitt, Franck Muller, Montblanc and Sarcar.

The brand will also host a product introduction seminar on 2 September titled “Franck Muller 2026 WPHH Novelties ‘Vanguard Lady Crazy Hours Jisbar’”. Meanwhile, Sarcar has specially created a unique platinum version of its Medusa timepiece exclusively for the World Brand Piazza. The one-of-a-kind watch is set with 228 diamonds, complemented by red garnets and green agates, showcasing exceptional high jewellery craftsmanship. Two marquise-cut diamonds are used to represent Medusa’s eyes. At the same time, the signature snake-hair motif extends seamlessly from the dial to the case and lugs, all meticulously sculpted from solid gold, offering the charm of ancient Roman stone sculptures of beautiful women. The Renaissance Moment zone will also welcome the debut appearance of WOLF, the luxury watch storage box and winder brand from the United Kingdom. Built around the concept of preserving heritage, WOLF provides professional care solutions for high-end mechanical timepieces. On the opening day of the fair (1 September), the brand will unveil its latest innovation, The Rocket, the world's most compact travel watch winder, highlighting WOLF's commitment to innovative design and exceptional craftsmanship. Guochao timepieces showcase the strength of Chinese watchmaking Designs incorporating traditional Chinese cultural elements have gained strong market appeal in recent years. This year, Salon de TIME will bring together five leading independent watchmakers from the Chinese Mainland, all of whom will attend the fair in person. The Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) which is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious independent watchmaking institutions, maintains exceptionally stringent membership requirements. 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. Highlights include: Chinese watchmaker Qian Guobiao will present the limited-edition AB-05S “Skylight Sun”, restricted to just 18 pieces worldwide. The self-developed AB-05 manual-winding movement powers the timepiece. At the same time, its semi-skeletonized dial reveals the balance wheel and gear train, highlighting the watch's intricate mechanics and technical expertise. Shanghai Watch will present the ORIGINATE Collection A623 Revival Watch, a modern recreation of China’s first calendar watch, modelling after the original A623 timepiece worn for many years by Zhou Enlai, the first Premier of the People’s Republic of China. The brand will also unveil the Hong Kong Exclusive Edition featuring two interchangeable straps in grey and green, with colours inspired by the Zhongshan suits frequently worn by Premier Zhou, evoking a spirit and memory that transcend generations. Award-winning timepieces showcase innovation and craftsmanship This year’s fair brings together award-winning timepieces, highlighting the watch industry’s pursuit of technical excellence and design innovation. Highlights include: AGELOCER’s 29.51-Day MoonPhase Original Astronomer reimagines the traditional moon phase display by featuring an industry-first 28.5mm oversized moon phase aperture. Blending astronomical imagery with mechanical aesthetics, the timepiece has earned nine international design awards, including the German Design Award 2022, MUSE Design Awards Gold 2023, and European Design Award 2023. Making its debut at the exhibition, Singaporean brand Vario will present the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time Watch. With an innovative reversible case design, the watch features two independent dials, each showing a different time zone.

The watch provides comprehensive health monitoring capabilities, including real-time tracking of mental resilience and stress levels, with data displayed directly on the watch dial. This year’s two major overseas pavilions, the Swiss Independent Watchmakers Pavilion (SIWP) and France’s Francéclat, together with other European exhibitors, will bring together around 80 brands from across Europe.

Among them, Pageant of Eternity will showcase premium finished watches from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Original Design Manufacturers (ODM). One example is Hong Kong exhibitor Time Grand Ltd, which has more than 20 years of experience in product development, engineering design, and manufacturing services for global watch brands.

Other zones include Complete Watches, Clocks, Machinery & Equipment, Packaging & Display, Parts, Components & Accessories. 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. Experts to share insights on emerging global watch industry trends More than 40 events will take place throughout the fair, including forums, seminars, watch parades, and networking activities, giving industry professionals valuable insights into the latest market developments and business opportunities.

NATO Flight Training Europe is a multinational initiative designed to provide NATO nations with access to a network of high-quality military aviation training capabilities. ITPS Canada's accreditation places the organization within the NFTE framework and provides participating NATO air forces with a more direct mechanism to access accredited training delivered by ITPS and ITTC, spanning specialist flight test and aerospace training as well as advanced military flying and tactical training. International Tactical Training Centre in North Bay, Ontario To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/9198/311371_itpsimage2.jpg "This accreditation reflects how ITPS Canada has continued to grow while remaining focused on the standards and capabilities that have earned the trust of customers around the world," said Giorgio Clementi, Executive Chairman, ITPS Canada Ltd. "We have continued to invest in our people, aircraft, simulation, infrastructure, and training methodologies to meet increasingly complex requirements. NFTE accreditation is an important endorsement of that investment and of the professional framework we have built across ITPS and ITTC." The NFTE accreditation process assesses training providers against demanding criteria spanning aviation safety, training quality, governance and supervision, regulatory compliance, operational delivery, infrastructure, and duty of care. Accreditation provides customers with additional assurance that ITPS Canada's training environments meet the standards expected for military aviation training within the NATO framework. ITPS provides specialist flight test and aerospace training for test pilots, flight test engineers and associated specialists. ITTC, based in North Bay, Ontario, provides advanced military flying and tactical training for fighter aircrew preparing for increasingly complex operational environments. International Test Pilots School in London, Ontario To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/9198/311371_itpsimage3.jpg Together, these capabilities represent a growing Canadian sovereign pilot training capability, expanding the capacity available within Canada to support domestic, NATO and Allied air force requirements. ITTC's investment in advanced training capabilities, including the Leonardo M-346 Block 20 Advanced Jet Trainer, further builds Canada's domestic training capacity while strengthening ITPS Canada's ability to support the requirements of modern air forces. "This accreditation recognizes the professionalism, discipline and operational focus that define both ITPS and ITTC," said Dave Lohse, CEO, ITPS Canada. "Our teams have worked diligently to build training environments that meet the highest international standards, with safety underpinning everything we do. We are proud to support NATO and Allied partners while contributing to the readiness and interoperability required for collective defence." "CCC is pleased that ITPS has achieved NATO's accreditation, a significant milestone that reflects the company's world-class expertise, innovation, and commitment to excellence in pilot training. This recognition positions ITPS for continued growth with Canada's allies and like-minded nations. We look forward to securing more government-to-government (G2G) contracts with ITPS to help expand the reach of their training around the world." - Bobby Kwon, President and CEO of CCC. As NATO and Allied air forces face growing demand for highly qualified aircrew, ITPS Canada will continue investing in its aircraft fleets, synthetic training systems, instructional capability, facilities, and people. Through ITPS and ITTC, the organization is positioned to contribute additional training capacity across the Alliance and support the operational readiness of NATO and Allied air forces.

By positioning cutting-edge technologies such as AI as core differentiators that set it apart from industry peers, the Group continues to increase investment in two frontier technology areas: Modular Integrated Construction (“MiC”) and Building Integrated Photovoltaics (“BIPV”). Through technological innovation, the Group is driving its own development and the wider industry’s transformation towards green, industrialised, intelligent and internationalised growth, while building new momentum for long-term development. MiC Smart Construction: AI-Driven End-to-End Process Upgrades and Steady Expansion into Overseas Markets In the field of MiC, leveraging the intelligent construction-MiC “assembly and integration” technology independently developed by its subsidiary China State Construction Hailong, the Group has adopted the C-SMART Smart Construction Platform to deeply integrate AI into its production processes. Among its innovations, the HyPA intelligent hoisting robot, jointly developed by China State Construction Hailong, The University of Hong Kong and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, represents an industry-leading technology. Data from multiple projects show that MiC technology can shorten construction periods by 50% to 75%, reduce construction waste by 70% to 80%, and lower the factory defect rate of modules by approximately 80%, demonstrating that the Group’s AI-driven construction efficiency significantly outperforms traditional models. The C-SMART platform is also continuing to expand a range of specialised AI applications, forming a multi-scenario technology matrix. Its AI fire inspection and acceptance system improves inspection efficiency by 30%; the Zhitu Ronglian drawing comparison system increases drawing analysis efficiency by 64%; Skeye has been applied in more than 10 projects in Hong Kong for inspections of high-risk operations; and AI façade inspection has compressed the inspection cycle for a 20-storey building from 12-15 days to just four hours, with an accuracy rate exceeding 95%. The Group’s MiC smart construction technology has also successfully expanded into overseas markets, progressing steadily with a light-asset, low-risk internationalisation model based on “intellectual achievements” and “standardised products”. The Group has obtained in-principle pre-approval from Dubai Municipality for MiC, becoming the first Chinese enterprise to receive such qualification in the Dubai market. This reflects the international recognition of its MiC technologies and standards, and lays a foundation for future large-scale overseas expansion. BIPV Building Integration Photovoltaics: AI Breaks Through the Limits of Traditional Construction With AI-enabled BIM modelling, intelligent annotation and CNC processing, the Group’s subsidiary Far East Façade successfully undertook the Shenzhen OPPO Building, the world’s most challenging hyperboloid façade project. The façade comprises 20,280 unique glass panels, with the largest hyperboloid unit covering an area of 56 square metres and weighing 16.5 tonnes. The Group controlled the precision of irregular components to within three millimetres, a level of accuracy rarely seen in the industry. On the construction side, AI monitoring and collision detection early-warning systems, together with the “Digital Far East” platform, enabled full-process visualised management, fully demonstrating the Group’s distinctive capability to use AI technology to overcome the limitations of traditional curtain wall construction. In addition, Far East Green Energy independently developed the Light series of building photovoltaic panels, which have been applied at Shenzhen Qianhai Snow World, the world’s largest indoor ski resort. The panels cover an area of 35,000 square metres, generate more than 6.3 million kWh of electricity annually, and reduce carbon emissions by 5,200 tonnes per year, equivalent to planting 270,000 trees. The products are designed to withstand Category 17 typhoons. Looking ahead, Far East Light building photovoltaic panels will be integrated with the self-developed Volta.AI Smart Energy Cloud Platform to build an integrated smart energy system covering photovoltaics, energy storage and charging, forming a dual moat of “technology + AI” for the Group in the BIPV sector. AI has become a core competitive strength that differentiates China State Construction International from its peers and spans the entire construction life cycle. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to increase investment in technology and deepen the breadth and depth of AI applications. By leveraging its differentiated innovation advantages, the Group aims to build a safer, more efficient and more sustainable smart construction ecosystem, creating long-term value for shareholders and the industry.

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.

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.

Its overseas organization is structured across three major regions: AsiaPacific, Europe and the Americas.

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.

(TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of patent pending G FLUIDTM for use as a graphene water-based additive for data centre and industrial cooling circuits to increase heat transfer and reduce microbial and bacterial growth. The cooling water treatment chemicals market is valued at US$15 billion per annum in 2026 and is expected to be valued at US$27.2 billion per annum in 2035 (with a 6.1% CAGR).[1] Figure 1 shows the launch of the initial pack size of 1 litre - used in 1:100 concentrate additive form - where 1 litre is added into 100 litres of coolant. Please see website for more details: https://graphenemg.com/graphene-products/g-fluid/.

Figure 3.0 shows the various test results from the third party laboratory for anti-microbial performance due to G FLUID™ dosed at 1% - providing 0.01% graphene by weight in the final solution. Figure 3.0 G FLUID™ Anti-Microbial Testing Results To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/311034_38099a9454ef4b8d_004full.jpg GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "G FLUID™ lets a data centre, industrial plant or building operator improve the heat transfer of the water or coolant already running through their cooling loop, at a simple 1% dose rate. Independent laboratory testing to the EN 1276 standard also shows a meaningful reduction in microbial growth in that same water, which matters for anyone managing corrosion, fouling and maintenance costs in a chiller system. We're launching first into data centres, where cooling demand is growing fastest, but the same dosage works in industrial process chillers and building chiller systems, giving us a large market to grow into." GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "G FLUID™ is our fourth energy-saving product alongside THERMAL-XR® and G® LUBRICANT, and it gives GMG a foothold in a cooling water treatment market worth more than US$15 billion a year globally, growing quickly as AI-driven data centre construction accelerates. It's a strong example of how our graphene production capability keeps opening up new, commercially relevant applications across very different industries." USA EPA Application Update: GMG is also pleased to announce the Company has submitted an amendment application to the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") seeking approval to manufacture, in addition to sell, graphene and GMG's THERMAL-XR®, G® LUBRICANT and G®FLUID products in the United States. This was based on the advice from the EPA to replace the Significant New Use Notice ("SNUN") the Company submitted in June 2026. GMG expects an EPA approval for this amendment by the end of September 2027 and the existing Consent Order conditions are not impacted for THERMAL-XR® sales into the United States. About GMG GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications. The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines. GMG is also developing a graphene coolant additive focused on energy saving for data centres and industrial cooling applications. In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of GMG Graphene Batteries. GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. GMG's 4 critical business objectives are: Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processes Build Revenue from Energy Savings Products Develop Next-Generation Battery Develop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution Capability For further information please contact: Craig Nicol, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of the Company at craig.nicol@graphenemg.com, +61 415 445 223 Leo Karabelas at Focus Communications Investor Relations, leo@fcir.ca, +1 647 689 6041 www.graphenemg.com Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.

These statements, referred to herein as "forward-looking statements", are not historical facts, are made as of the date of this news release and include, without limitation, statements regarding: G FLUID™'s ability to increase heat transfer rates and limit microbial and bacterial growth; the repeatability of preliminary internal heat transfer testing and of independent laboratory anti-microbial testing in commercial applications; the size and expected growth of the cooling water treatment chemicals market; G FLUID™'s suitability for various applications in water-based cooling systems, including data centres, industrial process chillers and building chiller systems; the Company's amendment application submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") seeking approval to manufacture, in addition to sell, graphene and GMG's THERMAL-XR®, G® LUBRICANT, G FLUID™ and other products in the United States; the expected timing of the EPA's review of, and decision on, the amendment application, including the Company's expectation of receiving approval by the end of September 2027; the Company's plans to manufacture and sell its products in the United States following any such approval; GMG's intentions to develop commercial scale-up capabilities; GMG's focus in the energy savings segment; GMG's intentions for the use of graphene lubricant additive on saving liquid fuels; expectations for R&D and commercialisation of Graphene Batteries; GMG's ability to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries; and the Company's four critical business objectives. Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions of management, including, without limitation, assumptions that: the Company's operational and strategic progress will continue; G FLUID™ will be purchased by cooling water treatment market distributors and customers in large volumes; G FLUID™ will increase heat transfer rates and limit microbial growth in commercial applications; the preliminary internal testing results and independent laboratory testing results will be repeatable and applicable in commercial applications; the EPA will accept and review the Company's amendment application in the ordinary course and will grant approval within the timeframe currently anticipated by the Company; the EPA will not require material additional testing, data or amendments in connection with the application; the regulatory requirements applicable to the manufacture and sale of graphene and graphene-based products in the United States will not change in a manner adverse to the Company; the Company's cash position and business fundamentals remain strong; that the preliminary results will be repeatable and applicable in commercial applications, that the warrant liability will decrease as warrants are exercised or expire, that future financial performance will improve, and that the accounting treatment of warrants under IFRS will remain unchanged. Additionally, forward-looking information involves a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual plans, intentions, activities, results, performance or achievements of GMG to be materially different from any future plans, intentions, activities, results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, without limitation, fluctuations in the Company's share price that may increase the warrant liability: the risk that the EPA delays, denies or imposes conditions or restrictions on the approval of the Company's amendment application, or that the review takes longer than currently expected; the risk that the EPA requires additional data, testing or information that delays or increases the cost of the application; the risk that the Company is unable to manufacture or sell its products in the United States on the terms or within the timeframe currently anticipated; the risk that G FLUID™'s performance in commercial applications differs from preliminary internal testing or independent laboratory testing results; the risk that market adoption of G FLUID™ is slower or smaller than anticipated; failure to complete or commission the Gen 2.0 Plant as currently planned; construction, cost-overrun, technology and ramp-up risks associated with the Gen 2.0 Plant; failure to achieve operational milestones; inability to commercialize products; changes in accounting standards; adverse market conditions; foreign exchange volatility; and the risk factors set out under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual information form dated November 4, 2025 available for review on the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca. Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and forward looking information. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, forward-looking information or financial outlook that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Moving forward, rooted in glycemic homeostasis regulation, the Company will advance a new paradigm for diabetes homeostasis-targeted therapy featuring next-generation long-acting GKAs, fixed-dose combinations and combination therapies. We will build a human energy-metabolism health pipeline matrix covering disease prevention, special types of diabetes, fatty liver diseases and steatohepatitis, cognitive impairment and frailty. Leveraging artificial intelligence technologies, the Company will continuously expand the clinical boundaries and application scenarios of its glycemic homeostasis technology platform, and strive to bring China-originated innovative therapies to patients with metabolic diseases at home and abroad.” Business Highlights and Operational Progress 1. Accelerated Proprietary Commercialization with Major Operational Efficiency Improvements - Rapid sales expansion. During the Reporting Period, we sold approximately 3,055,000 packs of HuaTangNing in the first half of 2026, up 73% from 1,764,000 packs sold during the same period in 2025. This rapid sales growth trajectory is further supported by the maintenance of China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) price for the 2026 and 2027 calendar years. Regions that already led sales in 2025, coastal areas including Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangdong province and Beijing, continued to deliver strong growth during the reporting period, reflecting the substantial market potential for further market penetration and providing a solid basis for sustained strong growth in the future. - Markedly enhanced profitability driven by scale effects. Relying on expanded production capacity and optimized manufacturing processes, gross margin rose significantly from 54.2% in the first half of 2025 to 61.8%, up 7.6 percentage points; gross profit reached RMB234.3 million, a 99% year-on-year surge. Selling expenses totalled RMB126.9 million, with the ratio of selling expense to revenue standing at 33.5%. Our commercialization efforts achieved profit of approximately RMB107.4 million (as defined by gross profits less selling expenses), doubled from RMB53.7 million in the same period of 2025. as profitability from proprietary commercialization continues to materialize. - Normalized financial performance with healthy cash reserves. Loss before tax stood at approximately RMB30.2 million. Excluding the one-off release of contract liabilities in the corresponding period of 2025 following the termination of the Bayer contract, the loss for the current reporting period is expected to narrow by approximately RMB29.4 million as compared with the adjusted loss of approximately RMB59.6 million for the corresponding period in 2025. Fundamental business operations continued to improve. Cash balances were approximately RMB1,072.9 million as of June 30, 2026 a decrease of RMB19.4 million from bank balances and cash position as of December 31, 2025. Ample liquidity supports domestic market expansion, global clinical R&D, and overseas commercialization in Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia. - Our commercialization team continued to scale. The professional sales team expanded to 187 product representatives, and 75 staff actively engaged in marketing, medical affairs and commercial operation as of June 30, 2026, representing growth of 93% and 79% respectively compared with the same period of 2025. 2. Strengthened Core Intellectual Property Rights and Breakthroughs in Overseas Market Development - Marketing approvals secured and commercialization rolled out in Hong Kong and Macao. Dorzagliatin (brand names: MYHOMSIS(R) was approved for marketing in Hong Kong on February 2026 and in Macao on June 2026. The product has been distributed to hospitals and pharmacies in Hong Kong, with the first prescription issued in August 2026, providing a new treatment option for patients with Type 2 diabetes outside mainland China.  - Patent term extension secured to boost long-term commercial certainty. In February 2026, the China National Intellectual Property Administration granted a five year patent term extension for dorzagliatin, extending core patent protection to April 2034. 3. Real-World Clinical Evidence Reinforces the Product’s Differentiated Value The Group continued advancing post-marketing real-world studies of dorzagliatin to further validate its efficacy and safety profiles in complex patient cohorts. - Topline data released from large-scale multi-centre post-marketing real-world study HMM0601. At the 2026 ADA Scientific Sessions, the Company presented results from HMM0601, a large-scale post-marketing real-world study. Across 80 clinical centres in China, HMM0601 enrolled 2024 patients with Type 2 diabetes with mean disease duration of 7.9 years. Over the 52-week treatment period, no drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) or episodes of severe hypoglycemia were observed; the incidence of clinically meaningful hypoglycemia was below 1%, and no new safety signals were identified compared with the Phase III clinical trials; HbA1c was significantly reduced from baseline, and the proportion of patients achieving HbA1c<7% increased markedly. This provides robust evidence of dorzagliatin’s strong safety and tolerability profile and consistent glycemic control efficacy. - Interim findings disclosed from prospective real-world observational study HMM0701. This study enrolled 255 patients with Type 2 diabetes, the majority of whom had long disease duration and were already receiving multi-drug regimens including insulin. The 6-month interim results of subgroup analysis indicates that dorzagliatin provides meaningful efficacy in glycemic control. Even in patients with severely compromised baseline TIR, clinically meaningful reductions in HbA1c, improved TIR, enhanced β-cell function, and reduced insulin resistance were observed, collectively indicating the restoration of glucose homeostasis. This study provides a solid rationale for a novel glycemic management option in complex T2D cases. - Preparations remain underway for post-marketing study HMM0602. The study is designed to generate further clinical evidence regarding the role of dorzagliatin in restoring glucose homeostasis and its potential contribution to diabetes remission. Research and Development Pipeline and Future Outlook 1. Multiple R&D Innovation Breakthroughs Usher in New Chapters for First-in-Disease Indications - Dorzagliatin for Patients with GCK-MODY Medical experts in mainland China and Hong Kong have conducted independent clinical and preclinical studies of dorzagliatin for MODY-2 treatment. MODY-2, also called GCK-MODY, is a monogenic disease in which patients have a genetic defect of glucokinase gene (GCK) which results in elevated blood glucose and significant reduction of the second phase release of insulin. The population of GCK-MODY patients is approximately 1.7 million in China. These patients are diagnosed with diabetes at a young age and represent an unmet medical need given currently available medications are not effective. In clinical studies with MODY-2 patients, a single dose of dorzagliatin improved overall glucose sensitivity and second phase insulin secretion significantly in GCK-MODY patients, suggesting a unique mechanism of action of dorzagliatin to regulate glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion. During the Reporting Period, we continued to advance the regulatory development of dorzagliatin for GCK-MODY in China. Following prior communications with the Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration, we completed the proposed clinical protocol. We plan to submit an IND application for dorzagliatin in GCK-MODY by December 2026. - Dorzagliatin for Diabetes Prevention Prevention of diabetes is an important focus at Hua Medicine. There are approximately 1.12 billion people living with prediabetes worldwide. We have initiated the SENSITIZE 3 clinical study in Hong Kong in pre-diabetic (IGT) subjects and in early diabetes patients under the leadership of Dr Juliana Chan and Dr Elaine Chow of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. These studies represent first-in-disease studies. In this double-blinded placebo-controlled study, we will evaluate the blood glucose management and pancreatic function under intravenous glucose tolerance test and oral glucose tolerance test conditions to better define the clinical treatment baseline and endpoints. We expect to complete this study in 2026 and file IND applications of dorzagliatin for diabetes prevention in China and Asia-Pacific regions thereafter. - Dorzagliatin for Neurodegenerative Diseases MCI shows approximately 15.5% prevalence among elderly people in China and approximately 22% in the United States, and is common in T2D patients with a 45% incidence rate. Development of dorzagliatin for neurodegenerative disease is a new focus in our drug discovery efforts. Through the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) and Mendelian Randomization (MR) study, we have realized the important role of GCK gene activation in prevention of memory loss and cognitive impairment in humans. It has also come to our attention that post-meal glucose excursion is closely related to Alzheimer disease and dementia. Impaired glucose homeostasis and diabetes conditions result in a reduction of glucose transporter expression and insulin receptor expression in the brain, which can be prevented by low dose dorzagliatin. We have realized the potential of dorzagliatin in the treatment of MCI and are initiating these first-in-disease clinical studies. Preparation of the clinical study protocol and clinical development plan has been initiated. We expect to launch pre-IND communications with the relevant regulatory authority in the fourth quarter of 2026. - Dorzagliatin for Frailty Frailty is an age-related geriatric syndrome characterized by reduced tolerance to internal and external stressors. Approximately 17% of American older adults and 11% of Asian older adults suffer from frailty, while pre-frailty affects roughly 50% and 47% of these populations, respectively. It is not a single-organ disease, but the consequence of dysregulated multisystem homeostasis. Genetic evidence has suggested a potential relationship between glucokinase activation and a reduced risk of frailty, supporting further investigation of dorzagliatin in this area. We intend to progress the regulatory preparations for an IND submission in 2026. 2. Robust Pipeline Gains Momentum, AI Powers Collaborative Innovation - Fixed Dose Combination of Dorzagliatin and Metformin We are fast forwarding the development of the FDC of dorzagliatin with metformin. An IND with the NMPA has been filed for our FDC with metformin in China in 2025, with an NDA submission planned for 2027. - The 2nd Generation of GKA under Development in the United States HM1005 is our second-generation GKA program based on a sustained-release formulation of dorzagliatin and is being developed as a once-daily oral therapy. In 2025, we successfully initiated MAD clinical study in T2D patients in the United States. As of the date of this report, five cohorts have been completed as planned in the Phase Ib multiple ascending dose study. HM1005 was generally well tolerated across the completed cohorts. We are conducting a subsequent cohort evaluating two 246 mg tablets in the United States. Topline data are expected to be published in the second half of 2026, and we will pursue partnerships to develop the 2nd generation GKA for global markets. - Development of Combination Therapies for Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases We presented three combination therapy studies in animal models of metabolic disorder at 2026 ADA. The combination of dorzagliatin and orforglipron, an oral small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist, demonstrated synergistic glycemic control, significantly enhanced β-cell function, and maintained weight loss and lipid-lowering benefits in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. Notably, the data revealed a compelling dose-sparing effect which directly reduces the overall side-effect burden – particularly common GLP-1-related gastrointestinal adverse events – thereby meaningfully improving long-term patient adherence. These complementary mechanisms across glycemic control, weight loss, and lipid improvement, position the potential combination as a highly effective, well-tolerated, and differentiated oral option for T2D patients with obesity. In the study combining dorzagliatin with the THR-β agonist resmetirom, the combination synergistically improved systemic metabolism and exerted hepatoprotective effects, optimizing glycemic control, regulating lipids, reducing uric acid, and alleviating hepatic fibrosis. This supports the clinical potential of dorzagliatin for T2D patients with MASLD. Additionally, the combination of dorzagliatin with chiglitazar, a pan-PPAR agonist, improves glucose tolerance, reduces insulin resistance, enhances insulin sensitivity and β-cell function, and elevates high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in DIO mice model of MASLD. - Integration of AI, LLMs and Clinical Big Data Alongside the continued development of dorzagliatin in research and clinical practice, the Company has continued to invest in the integration of AI, large language models (LLMs) and clinical big data, and has achieved concrete outcomes. We launched our proprietary GK education platform (GK Charger) in 2025. The platform uses natural language interaction to present complex glucokinase relevant knowledge in evidence-based, clinically relevant format that is easy for both physicians and patients to understand. It enables doctors to obtain up to date diagnostic and treatment information, make accurate clinical decisions, and develop individualized treatment plans for patients. Since the launch of GK Charger, the platform has cumulatively responded to more than 3,700 queries.

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. The platform is designed to deliver a streamlined, intuitive, and secure payment experience for commuters, while empowering operators with robust tools for complex fare structures, transaction records, and day-to-day fleet operations. 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.

It requires trusted environments where leaders can exchange ideas openly, build relationships, and collaborate on solutions that create long-term impact. With the strategic investment from the Onchain Foundation, Trust Square will accelerate the international expansion of its ecosystem-driven business model, scaling its flagship initiatives across leading innovation hubs worldwide. At the core of this expansion are three complementary formats designed to create meaningful connections, foster collaboration, and support the responsible adoption of emerging technologies. Trust Forum The Trust Forum is Trust Square's biannual flagship gathering, bringing together up to 250 global leaders for confidential dialogue, strategic exchange, and collaboration on emerging technologies and future opportunities. Trust Circle The Trust Circle is a global network of curated gatherings connecting 80 to 100 innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, corporates, policymakers, and academics through meaningful discussions and knowledge exchange. Trust Hive The Trust Hive consists of agile, invitation-only pop-up gatherings that activate the ecosystem around timely topics, opportunities, and special occasions. Together, Trust Forum, Trust Circle, and Trust Hive create a global platform for trusted dialogue, ecosystem development, and collaboration among leaders shaping the future of technology.

The Onchain Foundation is a Swiss non-profit organization committed to advancing blockchain technology and supporting initiatives that unlock the transformative potential of decentralized systems.

His appointment further strengthens Trust Square's strategic leadership and reflects the close alignment between both organizations' missions to foster innovation, collaboration, and responsible technology adoption.

With the Onchain Foundation joining The Hashgraph Association and Inacta Ventures becoming a strategic shareholder of Trust Square, we are confident that Trust Square's global network of Web3 leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers will drive innovation, enhance cross-chain collaboration, foster the deployment of viable decentralized solutions, and support the mainstream adoption of the Web3 industry." Guido Schmitz-Krummacher, Managing Director of the Onchain Foundation, Managing Director and Member of the Board of Onchain Ventures AG, Director of Lisk Ltd., and Member of the Board of Trust Square Ecosystem AG: "Our blockchain ecosystem is facing significant challenges, while the AI ecosystem is moving beyond the initial hype cycle and entering a necessary phase of consolidation around its core values. This makes it more important than ever to bring together the innovation leaders of both ecosystems at meetings and events where the future of blockchain and AI can be discussed, shaped, and advanced collaboratively. Trust Square and its team are well positioned to play a leading role in addressing these challenges. As an entrepreneur and an 'old blockchain guy,' I am excited to contribute to this mission."

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.

All these factors are transitional in nature and have not undermined the market appeal of the Group's core IP. 3.Strategic launch of "Wuyi Guanwu" to unlock diversified growth: During the period, the Group's wholly-owned subsidiary signed the Mount Wuyi Impression Jianzhou Project Operation Investment and Management Cooperation Agreement, with the project tentatively named "Wuyi Guanwu". This project will deeply integrate Wuyi Mountain's local culture with modern immersive experiences, enriching the Group's "day-and-night activity linkage" ecosystem and injecting strong momentum for future development. 4.Steady progress across three core business segments; Global Offering proceeds empower industrial upgrades: The Group continues to deepen its three core businesses – "shows and performance services", "Impression Cultural Tourism Town" and "Chatang Hotel". Leveraging the proceeds from the Global Offering, the Group is accelerating the iterative upgrade of performance quality, replication of projects in other regions, and diversified business deployment. HONG KONG, August 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Impression Dahongpao Co., Ltd. (HKEX Stock Code: 2695; NEEQ Code: 870608, “Impression Dahongpao” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), a leading large-scale cultural tourism performance and integrated leisure resort service provider in China, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (the “Period”). In the face of a complex and volatile external environment and extreme weather challenges in the first half of 2026, the Group maintained stable operations in its core business while proactively adjusting its business structure with a forward-looking strategic vision, making significant moves to develop new cultural tourism upgrade projects. During the Period, the Group recorded revenue of RMB47.14 million, representing a slight decrease compared with the same period of 2025; net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company was approximately RMB2.54 million; and gross profit margin for the Period was 24.74%. Net cash flows generated from operating activities reached RMB6.79 million, providing a solid foundation for the Group to weather market fluctuations and invest in future growth. Meanwhile, the Group’s total assets stood at RMB481.81 million, and the gearing ratio was strictly controlled at a low level of 29.35%, demonstrating the Group’s excellent risk management capabilities and prudent financial strategy. The decline in performance in the first half of 2026 was primarily attributable to the combined effect of exceptional one-off and non-recurring factors. In the first half of this year, the Wuyi Mountain region experienced total rainfall of 4,201mm, an increase of approximately three times compared with the same period, and frequent extreme rainstorms directly led to the cancellation of performances or a short-term decline in attendance rates. Secondly, the Group’s “Moonlight Wuyi” project, which premiered in 2025, received strong support from trade unions and the education system in its inaugural year, benefiting from one-off promotional support which did not continue during the Period. At the same time, the extended operating period of “Moonlight Wuyi” during the Period directly resulted in a corresponding increase in rigid costs, including depreciation of right-of-use assets, depreciation of fixed assets, amortisation of long-term deferred expenses, as well as utilities and staff salaries. Continuous optimisation of business layout to consolidate diversified growth foundation In terms of business optimisation, the Group has implemented a series of cost-reduction and efficiency-enhancement measures for “Moonlight Wuyi”. These include optimising the pricing system, introducing tiered incentive policies for groups and study tours to activate channel momentum, partnering with cultural tourism and tea enterprise live-streaming rooms to expand online sales channels, and innovating NPC interactive check-in and new media seeding marketing models to boost market visibility. At the same time, the Group strictly controls costs, precisely adjusts performance schedules, and centrally deploys performers from the Impression Art Troupe to reduce labour costs. In addition, the Chatang Hotel has completed a brand upgrade and was renamed “Impression Dahongpao Qiyuan” to strengthen the synergy with the core performance brand. The Group has introduced a professional marketing team to focus on the online market, revitalised idle spaces for external leasing to generate stable ancillary income, and launched “performance + hotel” package tickets for joint marketing. Meanwhile, the Group continues to reduce losses, optimise its asset structure, and drive a steady transformation with improved quality and efficiency. Signing of the Mount Wuyi Impression Jianzhou Project Operation Investment and Management Cooperation Agreement to build a new cultural tourism ecosystem engine While actively responding to short-term fluctuations, the Group has not slowed down its pace of expansion and upgrading. During the Period, the Group achieved a milestone breakthrough in its business development – its wholly-owned subsidiary formally signed the “Wuyi Impression Jianzhou (Upgrade and Renovation) Project Operation, Investment and Management Cooperation Agreement”, with the project tentatively named “Wuyi Guanwu”. This project represents the Group’s core strategic deployment to align with the national trend of cultural tourism consumption upgrading and to deepen the excavation of Wuyi Mountain’s local culture. The “Wuyi Guanwu” project is not merely a hardware renovation, but a deep integration of culture, business and tourism. It aims to comprehensively upgrade the existing commercial area into a high-quality cultural tourism block integrating “intangible cultural heritage experiences, immersive performances, national trendy cultural and creative products, specialty dining and themed accommodation”. In the past, the Group’s revenue was heavily dependent on the nighttime “Impression Dahongpao” scenery show. The implementation of the Impression Jianzhou project will greatly enrich tourists’ daytime activity options, successfully creating a full-day tourism loop of “visit Jianzhou and experience culture by day, watch Impression and enjoy the grand show by night”, achieving “day-night linkage” and effectively extending tourist stay in Wuyi Mountain. At the same time, through introducing high-quality self-operated and co-operated commercial formats, the Group will break through the limitations of a single ticket-based economy. The upgraded “Wuyi Guanwu” will generate substantial high-margin secondary consumption scenarios including dining, cultural and creative products, and accommodation, comprehensively optimising the Group’s revenue structure. The signing of this agreement also marks a new milestone for the Group’s operational investment and management capabilities. The Group will export its proven IP operation standards and commercial management systems, which will not only enhance the overall tourism destination image of Wuyi Mountain, but also accumulate valuable practical experience for the Group’s future “replication in other regions” and asset-light expansion. Deepening the three core segments with a clear long-term development blueprint Looking ahead, the Group will continue to maintain its three core segments: (i) shows and performance services; (ii) Impression Cultural Tourism Town business; and (iii) Chatang Hotel business. In terms of core business development, the Group will leverage the proceeds from the Global Offering as a driving force to reinforce its solid foundation in daily operations, continuously strengthen its core IP competitiveness, and promote iterative upgrades in performance quality. At the same time, the Group will accelerate the deployment of diversified businesses, with a strategic focus on the innovative development of the “Impression Cultural Tourism Town” to further enrich tourists’ leisure options and the overall tourism ecosystem. In addition, exploring replication paths in other regions will be one of the Group’s key strategic directions. The Company plans to export its proven operational management models to broader markets and actively explore replication in other regions, striving to create new growth drivers. Overall, the Group will strengthen operational support, continuously enhance operational efficiency and visitor experience, aiming to achieve an organic integration of short-term stability and long-term development.

Exhibitors, buyers and industry representatives concluded multiple cooperation and procurement agreements, underscoring Hong Kong's position as an important trade platform connecting Chinese Mainland and international markets, as well as its role as an international food trade hub. Buyers' purchasing intentions show that market demand continues to grow for health and functional products, convenience foods, specialty foods and premium tea products. Products with sustainable development concepts and international certifications such as Halal certification are also gaining popularity, reflecting the industry's proactive response to consumers' pursuit of healthy living, quality experiences and responsible consumption, injecting growth momentum into the market.” Per capita spending reaches record high of HK$1,685; Health and wellness products in the spotlight During the fairs, the organiser conducted a random sampling survey, interviewing more than 1,430 visitors. The per capita spending continued to grow, reaching HK$1,685, with 87% of respondents indicating that their actual spending was in line with or exceeded their budget, reflecting stable consumer sentiment.

Among the respondents who are aware that the fairs have a halal food and beverage label, more than half of the respondents (53%) believed that halal food and beverage label helps promote halal products, while 51% noted the silver-age products and services showcased at the fairground, reflecting the continued growth potential of these markets.

("CanSinoBIO"; HKEX: 06185/SHSE: 688185) announced that the New Drug Application (NDA) for its Tetanus, Reduced Diphtheria and Pertussis (Acellular, Five Components) Combined Vaccine, Adsorbed (for people aged six years and above; the "Td5cp Adolescent and Adult") has been formally accepted by China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). As a booster vaccine for adolescents and adults, the product was granted Priority Review status in May 2026. If approved and launched, it is expected to create synergies with the recently approved next-generation three-component DTaP vaccine Tripecia(R) (DT3cP Infant), further strengthening CanSinoBIO's pertussis-containing vaccine portfolio across different age groups. Pertussis is a highly contagious acute respiratory infectious disease caused by Bordetella pertussis¹. In recent years, the disease has experienced a global resurgence. Data show that reported pertussis cases in China exceeded 470,000 in 2024¹, representing an approximately 12-fold increase compared with 2023 and drawing sustained attention to disease prevention and control. Against this backdrop, in addition to primary immunization in infants, the importance of booster immunization during adolescence and adulthood has become increasingly evident. Vaccination with diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis-containing vaccines is an important measure for preventing the related diseases, yet China has long lacked a dedicated booster immunization product for people aged six years and above. In April this year, CanSinoBIO's Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis (Acellular, Three Components) Combined Vaccine, Adsorbed for infants—Tripecia(R) (DT3cP Infant)—was approved for marketing through the NMPA's Priority Review pathway, marking an important breakthrough for the company in component-based pertussis vaccine technology. Compared with the three-component (PT, FHA and PRN) DT3cP vaccine, the Td5cp Adolescent and Adult includes two additional pertussis antigens, FIM2 and FIM3. Each pertussis antigen is individually purified and formulated at precise ratios, helping ensure stable product quality and batch-to-batch consistency. The continued advancement of this product will also support further exploration of innovative component-based pertussis vaccine technology across broader age groups. In July 2026, seven departments, including the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, jointly issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for Disease Prevention and Control", which explicitly calls for the implementation of a life-course immunization strategy covering the entire population. As public health needs continue to evolve, providing more comprehensive immunization protection solutions for people at different stages of life has become an important direction for vaccine innovation. If the Td5cp Adolescent and Adult is successfully approved and launched, it will further enrich CanSinoBIO's pertussis-containing vaccine portfolio and support the company's continued efforts to strengthen its innovative vaccine portfolio across all age groups. From a capital market perspective, the acceptance of the NDA for the Td5cp Adolescent and Adult marks the product's formal entry into a key regulatory review stage. It also represents important progress in CanSinoBIO's continued advancement of innovative vaccine R&D and commercialization, while strengthening market expectations for the development of the company's pipeline of combination vaccine candidates and laying a solid foundation for the company's medium- to long-term performance growth.

The launch coincides with the company's successful completion of its SOC 2 Type II attestation, reinforcing Haven Safety AI's position as a security-first partner for enterprise safety, risk management, and insurance organizations. HavenASSURE introduces a new approach to incident management by applying Haven's knowledge graphs and AI reasoning capabilities to the quality of completed investigations. It serves as an independent reviewer, identifying missing evidence, overlooked causal factors, weak root cause analysis, insufficient corrective actions, and opportunities to strengthen organizational learning before those findings become part of an organization's institutional knowledge. Designed for enterprise safety organizations, HavenASSURE also extends these capabilities to insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and claims organizations seeking to improve investigation quality, strengthen claims consistency, and identify emerging portfolio risks across large volumes of investigations. "Organizations have invested heavily in digitizing incident reporting, but far less attention has been paid to the quality of the investigations themselves," said Joseph Hanna, CEO of Haven Safety AI. "For decades, investigation quality has been measured through audits, peer reviews, and sampling. HavenASSURE changes that by making every investigation reviewable, measurable, and continuously improvable. We believe investigation quality will become as important a safety metric as incident rates themselves." Organizations can use HavenASSURE to continuously improve investigation quality across internal teams, contractors, acquired businesses, historical incident records, and insurance claims, helping ensure every investigation meets a consistent standard before lessons are shared across the enterprise. "The value of an incident investigation is determined not by whether it was completed, but by the quality of the conclusions it reaches. The quality of an investigation directly influences the effectiveness of corrective actions, organizational learning, and ultimately future safety performance. Giving organizations a consistent way to evaluate investigation quality represents an important advancement for the safety profession," said Dr. David Michaels, Former Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA and Advisor to Haven Safety AI Built for Enterprise Trust As AI becomes embedded in safety-critical workflows, organizations increasingly expect enterprise-grade security, governance, and operational controls from their AI providers, particularly when investigations involve sensitive operational, legal, employee, and claims information. Haven Safety AI's successful SOC 2 Type II examination validates the effectiveness of the company's controls over an extended operating period, providing customers with additional confidence that their data is protected through mature security, availability, and operational practices. "Haven was built from the beginning for enterprise environments," Hanna added. "Security, governance, explainability, and regulatory alignment are foundational to our platform, not capabilities added later. As organizations expand their use of AI across safety operations and claims management, they need partners that combine advanced reasoning with enterprise-grade controls." Expanding AI for Insurance and Claims While originally developed for workplace safety, HavenASSURE also introduces a new approach for insurance carriers and claims organizations. By automatically reviewing completed claims investigations, identifying inconsistencies or missing evidence, evaluating the quality of causal analysis, and surfacing emerging risk indicators across thousands of claims, HavenASSURE helps insurers improve claims quality, strengthen subrogation and litigation readiness, identify systemic loss drivers, and uncover trends that traditional quality assurance processes often miss. Beyond improving individual claims, HavenASSURE enables insurers to transform completed investigations into portfolio-wide operational intelligence, helping inform underwriting, risk engineering, customer loss prevention, and strategic advisory services through deeper insight into the underlying causes of loss. A Connected Platform for Continuous Learning HavenASSURE extends Haven Safety AI's platform, which supports organizations throughout the incident lifecycle, from frontline evidence collection and AI-assisted investigations to investigation quality assurance and enterprise learning. Together, these capabilities create a continuous learning system that captures richer evidence, conducts more consistent investigations, verifies investigation quality, and transforms every incident into trusted organizational knowledge. The result is stronger corrective actions, earlier identification of systemic risks, and an enterprise safety program that becomes smarter with every investigation. About Haven Safety AI Haven Safety AI is an AI-native workplace safety platform that helps organizations investigate incidents faster, improve investigation quality, and accelerate organizational learning. Purpose-built for safety professionals, Haven Safety AI combines advanced AI reasoning with deep domain expertise to support incident capture, investigation, quality assurance, corrective actions, and enterprise learning across high-risk industries.

BIC is a unique organization that has been leading battery cell development for world leading battery companies for over 10 years and has carried out over 500 battery development projects. About GMG GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications. The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines. In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of GMG Graphene Batteries. GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. GMG's 4 critical business objectives are: Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processes Build Revenue from Energy Savings Products Develop Next-Generation Battery Develop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution Capability For further information please contact: Craig Nicol, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of the Company at craig.nicol@graphenemg.com, +61 415 445 223 Leo Karabelas at Focus Communications Investor Relations, leo@fcir.ca, +1 647 689 6041 www.graphenemg.com Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
