Under the theme&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;</strong><strong>Go Smart, Live Green</strong><strong>&rdquo;</strong>, the twin lighting fairs introduce a number of new zones this year, including the debut of&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;</strong><strong>Light Lab</strong><strong>&rdquo;</strong>, which focuses on lighting solutions that combine innovation and sustainability, unveiling the latest lighting trends for 2026.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Jenny Koo</strong>, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: &ldquo;This year&rsquo;s twin lighting fairs bring together some 900 exhibitors, including new exhibitors from the Netherlands and Vietnam. A number of industry leaders are participating, including Absen, whose LED displays were in use at the World Cup and World Expos, and has been ranked first nationally in LED display exports for 16 consecutive years, and Shanghai Sansi, which supplies over 60% of the screens in Times Square, New York. Overall, our exhibitor lineup is strong. As one of the key events of&nbsp;<strong>Business of Innovation and Technology Week (BIT Week)</strong>, the Smart Lighting Expo focuses on cutting edge lighting technologies and applications. This year, the newly launched&nbsp;<strong>Smart Commercial Display &amp; Stage Audio-Visual Zone</strong> features lighting products and equipment related to cultural tourism and performing arts. As top-tier trade events for lighting products and technologies, the twin lighting fairs not only help promote Hong Kong as an international innovation and technology hub but also support the development of the megaevent economy by fostering cross industry exchange and collaboration.&rdquo;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to Statista, the global smart lighting market is expected to reach US$44 billion by 2030. An analysis released by the International Energy Agency in March said that a second wave of LED transformation is imminent. In regions including Africa, Latin America and the Asia Pacific (excluding India and Chinese Mainland), LED penetration remains relatively low. In the residential sector alone, around 30% of lighting fixtures worldwide have yet to be upgraded, creating opportunities for high efficiency LED technologies. At the same time, early generation LED products, which account for nearly 15% of global residential lighting fixtures and have an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years, are gradually reaching the end of their service life, creating opportunities for high efficiency and more intelligent lighting systems.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Against the backdrop of surging demand for high efficiency and intelligent lighting, this year&rsquo;s fairs curate multiple highlights that bring advanced lighting technologies into real world application scenarios. The newly introduced&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;Light Lab&rdquo;</strong>&nbsp;in Hall 3 features three scenario-based designs that present a range of products in an immersive manner, allowing visitors to experience their characteristics in different settings. The&nbsp;<strong>Lumin Garden</strong>&nbsp;displays garden lighting, smart lamp posts and solar luminaires.&nbsp;<strong>Shanghai Sansi LED Lighting</strong> presents plant lighting fixtures that use proprietary independent ceramic technology, delivering heat dissipation efficiency superior to metal structures. Combined with precise spectral control and professional optical systems, the solution meets the needs of plants at different growth stages.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The&nbsp;<strong>Lumin Arena</strong>&nbsp;showcases professional grade lighting performance with stadium lights and high bay lights.&nbsp;<strong>Foshan Electrical and Lighting</strong>, which provides lighting for the China National Youth Football Training Centre, presents its new overseas sports lighting product, the<strong>&nbsp;F&nbsp;</strong><strong>Series stadium lights</strong>, manufactured using full aluminium forging technology. Under the same illuminance level, the lights are 20% to 45% lighter than traditional fixtures and use high thermal conductivity 1060 pure aluminium, effectively reducing LED chip operating temperatures. With a lifespan of up to 100,000 hours, maintenance requirements are significantly reduced. The&nbsp;<strong>Lumin Gallery</strong>&nbsp;focuses on high-end museum lighting, displaying modular track lights and spotlights that highlight the integration of precise light control and aesthetics.&nbsp;<strong>Guangdong ThinkGis&nbsp;</strong>presents ultralow glare spotlights that emphasise glare control, reducing eye stimulation through specialised optical design and enhancing operational comfort and safety.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As for the group pavilion, the twin lighting fairs receive strong support from&nbsp;<strong>Zhongshan City</strong>, as a Special Partner City this year, bringing the&nbsp;<strong>Zhongshan Guzhen Pavilion</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Zhongshan Henglan Pavilion</strong>&nbsp;to form the Zhongshan Smart Home Zone, showcasing competitive lighting manufacturing capabilities and innovative solutions. The&nbsp;<strong>Shanghai Pudong Intelligent Lighting Association</strong>&nbsp;participates in the Smart Lighting Expo for the third consecutive year, setting up the&nbsp;<strong>Smart Ecosystem and IoT Supply Chain Area</strong>, together with brands including BWEETECH, AIDimming, Darkoo and TYF, presenting the latest developments in smart lighting and IoT solutions. In addition, pavilion from Shenzhen also participate, while the Spring Lighting Fair brings together pavilion from Xiamen, as well as new pavilions from Changzhou Zouqu and Zhejiang, further expanding industry exchange.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Four major lighting trends move forward in parallel, showing new directions in smart, low</strong>&nbsp;<strong>carbon, immersive and human</strong>&nbsp;<strong>centric lighting</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">As artificial intelligence technologies continue to mature, lighting products are no longer limited to basic illumination functions. Instead, they integrate design, aesthetics, health, personalised experiences and sustainability, and even become an important part of urban and social infrastructure.

According to the Chairman&rsquo;s Statement for 2025, the valuation of the investment portfolio of the Beijing Robot Industry Development Investment Fund (Limited Partnership) increased by approximately fourfold. On that basis, the corresponding unrealized book gain is estimated at around RMB 8 billion. The robotics business has therefore become one of the most closely watched sources of incremental upside for Shoucheng Holdings in the near term.</p><p>Based on disclosed projects, Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics strategy is not a series of isolated bets, but rather a systematic deployment across the industry chain. In the field of embodied intelligence and robotics, the Company has made concentrated investments in more than 20 leading companies, including Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot, DEEP Robotics, Booster Robotics, and Galaxea AI. In the latest Chairman&rsquo;s Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang characterized this approach as &ldquo;track-level deployment&rdquo;.</p><p>Unlike some purely financial investors, Shoucheng Holdings is advancing its robotics business from simply &ldquo;holding equity stakes&rdquo; to &ldquo;operating an industry&rdquo;. Following an integrated path of &ldquo;investment + operations + ecosystem,&rdquo; the Company is building capabilities centered on &ldquo;funds + scenarios + industry chain,&rdquo; providing robotics companies with capital support, application scenarios, supply-chain integration, and commercialization pathways. On the offline channel side, its robotics consumer experience brand, Taozhu New Creation, has established five stores in Beijing, with locations including Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport Terminals 2 and 3, and Wangfujing APM, among other core venues. To date, the Company has signed agreements with nearly 100 robotics companies as authorized agents.</p><p>Market analysts note that the valuation logic for Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics business is transitioning from book valuations in the primary market toward more observable pricing in the capital markets. As a representative investment within Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics portfolio, Unitree Robotics&mdash;together with its IPO progress&mdash;provides the market with a clearer anchor for assessing the value of Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics assets.</p><p>From a longer-term perspective, the data points of &ldquo;more than RMB 2 billion invested, more than 20 companies covered, and portfolio valuation increasing approximately fourfold to around RMB 8 billion&rdquo; already outline the basic contours of Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics strategy:At the front end, the Company secures leading projects through its funds.In the mid-stage, it accelerates commercialization through channels and service systems.At the back end, it opens up exit and re-rating opportunities through IPOs and capital operations.</p><p>As projects such as Unitree Robotics move into the capital-market spotlight, the book value of Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics investments, its industrial synergy capabilities, and its subsequent monetization path are becoming increasingly clear.</p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

According to information released in the company&rsquo;s 2025 annual report, parking lots are no longer merely static spaces that rely on parking fees for profit. Instead, they are being upgraded into intelligent digital infrastructure nodes serving Robotaxis, Robovans, and even eVTOL aircraft. Shoucheng uses the term &ldquo;mother port&rdquo; to describe this transformation, meaning that parking lots in the future will do far more than provide parking spaces. They will also support charging, berthing, maintenance, dispatching, automatic docking, and other back-end support services, becoming critical hubs in autonomous mobility systems.</p><p>This shift is, in essence, a rewriting of the business model. Traditional parking lots mainly depend on time-based parking fees. Under Shoucheng&rsquo;s E Park model, however, revenue streams are expanding to include dispatch service fees for autonomous vehicles, charging, battery swapping, and hosting fees for robots, maintenance and OTA service fees, commercial display and advertising revenue, and intelligent business integration income. Accordingly, the core assets of a parking lot are no longer limited to the number of parking spaces, but now also include site resources, intelligent platforms, charging and battery-swapping facilities, dispatching capabilities, and ecosystem support capabilities for autonomous operations.</p><p>Behind this transformation lies a change in the commercialization logic of the autonomous driving industry. In the past, the sector focused more on whether vehicles could operate on the road. Today, the key factors determining operating efficiency are increasingly concentrated in back-end functions such as charging, berthing, maintenance, and dispatching. Where vehicles go to recharge after completing orders, where they park during off-peak hours, how faults are handled, and how cross-regional fleets are deployed efficiently now determine not only whether a single vehicle can be put on the road, but also whether an entire fleet can sustain operations and scale up. For this reason, parking lots are no longer the end point of the mobility chain; they are becoming the starting point of the next round of operations.</p><p>Shoucheng&rsquo;s unique advantage lies in its strong ability to integrate site resources and drive industrial synergies. Through models such as PPP and BOT, the company has long acquired operating rights and concession rights, with business coverage spanning airports, healthcare, public services, and other diversified scenarios, giving it the foundation to build a city-level node network. At the same time, Shoucheng also has a dual-engine capability combining industrial funds and asset operations. On one end, it is strategically positioned in embodied intelligence and robotics; on the other, it upgrades static transportation sites, enabling parking lots to more smoothly accommodate the emerging needs of the autonomous driving and robotics industries.</p><p>In terms of implementation, this model has already begun to prove itself. Shoucheng has advanced robotics applications in relevant scenarios at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport, and together with Wisson Robotics, it has built a demonstration project featuring robots and automatic charging at the Chengdu ICD project, promoting the extension of underground parking lots from single-purpose parking spaces to intelligent operational scenarios featuring integrated parking and charging. This shows that the &ldquo;mother port&rdquo; model is not just a concept, but is gradually moving toward practical application.</p><p>It is foreseeable that in the future, the key to competition among parking lots will no longer be simply the number of parking spaces or parking turnover rates, but rather who can connect dispersed nodes into a citywide service network covering charging, berthing, operations and maintenance, and dispatching needs. What Shoucheng Holdings is betting on is no longer just parking fee income, but a more imaginative entry point into downstream service infrastructure in the era of autonomous mobility. For Shoucheng, parking is not the destination; &ldquo;mother port services&rdquo; are the real starting point of its new business model.</p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

According to the latest 2025 Chairman&rsquo;s Statement, the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund, which the company co-manages, has achieved approximately fourfold growth in portfolio valuation over the past four years, demonstrating strong capabilities in deal sourcing and value realization. At the same time, Shoucheng Holdings has invested in more than 20 leading companies in embodied intelligence and robotics, covering multiple areas including humanoid robots, quadruped robots, medical robotics, and the low-altitude economy, gradually building a relatively comprehensive industry footprint.</p><p>Based on disclosed projects, the company&rsquo;s investment portfolio already includes a number of representative enterprises such as Unitree Robotics, Galbot, Xinghaitu, TowardPi Medical, Volant, and DEEP Robotics. Management has also previously disclosed that the funds under the company&rsquo;s management have cumulatively invested more than RMB 2 billion in the robotics industry, completing over 40 transactions. As the valuations of leading projects continue to rise and exit timelines gradually progress, Shoucheng Holdings is expected to unlock profits in the future through fund distributions, management fees, and carried interest.</p><p>Taking Unitree Robotics, which has submitted a listing application, as an example, based on minimum post-offering dilution calculations, the value of the relevant equity stake held by the Beijing Robotics Fund has increased from approximately RMB 520 million to approximately RMB 1.55 billion, generating about RMB 1 billion in book value appreciation. This also reflects, from another angle, the return potential accumulated by Shoucheng Holdings through its forward-looking positioning in the robotics sector.</p><p>In addition to investment returns, another differentiated advantage of Shoucheng Holdings lies in its ability to combine industrial investment with asset operation capabilities. Leveraging managed scenarios such as parking facilities, industrial parks, and airports, the company can provide portfolio robotics companies with support in product display, testing, energy replenishment, operations and maintenance, and commercialization deployment, gradually forming a closed-loop model of &ldquo;investment + scenarios + operations.&rdquo; This not only helps improve the deployment efficiency of portfolio companies, but also has the potential to enhance the utilization efficiency and commercial conversion capability of the company&rsquo;s assets.</p><p>In terms of shareholder returns, the company proposed a total dividend of HKD 780 million for 2025, corresponding to a dividend yield of approximately 5.6%. While continuing to increase its investment in robotics and embodied intelligence, Shoucheng Holdings has also demonstrated an operating profile that balances growth potential with shareholder returns.</p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

For that reason, the underlying logic of the traditional parking lot is being redefined: it is no longer merely a static space for vehicle storage, but is rapidly evolving into a critical node for the operation of future unmanned systems.</p><p>In its 2025 Annual Report, Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK) judged that parking lots will become the largest robot operating bases in the future. Zhao Tianyang, Chairman of the Board of Shoucheng Holdings, further explained the logic behind this view in the annual report: "What we see is not merely today's parking spaces, but the key nodes of future smart digital infrastructure." Based on this understanding, the role of the parking lot is changing - from a traditional supporting space for static transport to an infrastructure platform that supports robot operation, dispatch, and services.</p><p>To understand this transformation, the key is to grasp the fundamental difference between the traditional parking model and the "E Park" model. Under the traditional model, parking lot revenue mainly comes from parking fees, the core asset is parking space resources, the main customers are vehicle owners, and the operating logic is essentially the management of space and time, with relatively limited growth potential. Under the E Park model, however, the parking lot is no longer a single space-leasing asset, but is upgraded into an integrated service platform for Robotaxis, Robovans, and various types of robots.</p><p>This change is first reflected in the revenue structure. Revenue sources in the traditional parking business are relatively simple, whereas the E Park model can layer in multiple income streams, including dispatch service fees, charging or battery-swapping and custody fees, O&amp;M and OTA service fees, advertising fees, and smart service integration fees, significantly broadening the boundaries of profitability. At the same time, the core assets of the parking lot are upgraded from mere parking space resources to a composite system of "site resources + energy-replenishment facilities + dispatching capabilities + robot access capabilities." In other words, the future value of a parking lot will no longer depend primarily on how many cars it accommodates, but on how deeply it can serve how many unmanned systems.</p><p>The customer structure is also changing in parallel. Traditional parking lots primarily serve end-user vehicle owners. Under the E Park model, however, the service base expands to a coexistence of To B, To C, and To Robot - serving autonomous driving operators, end users, and robot devices themselves, thereby forming a new infrastructure ecosystem. At the same time, parking lots designed for unmanned systems can enable 24-hour automatic docking and a fully unmanned closed loop throughout the process through dedicated lanes, space-efficient design, energy-replenishment facilities, and data interfaces, thereby improving space utilization and overall operational efficiency.</p><p>To turn this judgment into a replicable path in the real world, the key lies in validation and implementation in real scenarios. Shoucheng Holdings has chosen to begin with high-traffic, high-density transport hubs and core urban scenarios, promoting deep integration between robotic capabilities and parking assets. One landmark case is the introduction of the Hobbs W1 intelligent robot from Noetix Robotics at the Terminal 3 parking building of Beijing Capital International Airport, where technology was used to enhance both asset operating efficiency and passenger experience. Another example is Shoucheng Holdings' collaboration with its portfolio company Wisson Robotics to build the country's first automatic charging robot pop-up experience station in the underground parking lot at Chengdu IFS ICD, driving the parking lot's evolution from a single parking space into an intelligent operating scenario integrating parking and charging, and further validating the deep embedding of robotic technology into urban infrastructure.</p><p>From a broader macro perspective, the reason Shoucheng Holdings has been able to advance this path lies in its ownership of an asset base capable of accommodating new demand. As Robotaxis, Robovans, and embodied intelligent robots accelerate into urban scenarios, cities will require a large number of distributed nodes to undertake energy replenishment, dispatching, and maintenance functions. Compared with building new facilities from scratch, parking lots naturally possess advantages such as wide geographic distribution, well-developed spatial conditions, easy access to power supply, and clearly defined asset characteristics. They have therefore become the most practical and efficient carriers for this new demand.</p><p>Against this backdrop, Shoucheng Holdings' advantage in network-based deployment is being rapidly converted into real capability. The Company manages more than 100 parking lot projects nationwide, with a total area of several million square meters, covering core economic regions and providing a foundation for standardized retrofitting and large-scale replication. This means that its previously scattered static parking resources are now poised to be restructured into a multi-city, multi-node robot operating infrastructure network. At the same time, improvements at the operational level are also supporting this transition. In 2025, the Company's parking space turnover rate increased by 7.1%, its full-occupancy rate reached 55%, and innovative business revenue accounted for 20% of total revenue, demonstrating that through the application of AI technologies, refined operations, and expanding scenario applications, it is driving parking lots' transformation from traditional legacy assets into platform-based, growth-oriented assets.</p><p>Accordingly, for Shoucheng Holdings, the proposition that "parking lots will become the largest robot operating bases in the future" is no longer merely a forward-looking judgment. It is a practical path that is being continually validated and is expected to achieve replication at scale.</p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

According to the latest 2025 annual results report disclosed by Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK), the company proposes a dividend of 780 million HKD, corresponding to an average annual market value dividend yield of approximately 5.6%. Looking at the long term, since its strategic transformation in 2018, the company has continuously advanced business transformation and structural optimization, leading to steady improvements in profitability and cash flow quality. It has maintained stable dividends for many consecutive years, with a cumulative dividend scale of approximately 6 billion HKD over eight years, shifting the investment logic from "growth expectations" toward "balancing both growth and returns".</p><p>It is noteworthy that this dividend does not rely on high leverage or short-term overdrafts; rather, it is a proactive return built on improved balance sheets, enhanced operating quality, and optimized cash flow. As of December 31, 2025, the company's bank balances and cash stood at 3.671 billion HKD, with total borrowings of 979 million HKD. The cash-to-interest-bearing debt coverage ratio is approximately 3.75 times, demonstrating strong dividend sustainability and a significant financial safety margin.</p><p>Over the past eight years, Shoucheng Holdings has gradually formed a smart infrastructure asset service system centered on parking asset management, industrial space management, REITs investment, and equity investment, constructing a composite model of "operational efficiency + asset management + capital circulation". Mature businesses such as parking and industrial parks continue to provide steady cash flow, serving as the practical foundation for the company's dividends. Meanwhile, REITs investments, the robotics ecosystem, and emerging industry funds further open up space for profit realization and valuation enhancement.</p><p>Among these, the robotics business is becoming a significant incremental driver of Shoucheng Holdings' long-term value. In recent years, the company has continuously refined its robotics layout around "investment + operations + ecosystem," systematically investing in several leading robotics enterprises. Through scenario integration, channel construction, and industrial services, it has pushed projects from technical verification to commercial implementation. As relevant companies accelerate financing, see valuation increases, or move toward IPOs, the robotics segment is expected to continuously strengthen the company's mid-to-long-term profit release and shareholder return capabilities.</p><p>Furthermore, in the latest Chairman's Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang explicitly expressed "gratitude" to investors and continued to emphasize "creating long-term value for investors". This statement is not merely a declaration of attitude but sends a clear signal: Shoucheng Holdings is placing shareholder returns and long-termism in a more prominent position. For the market, the significance of eight years of continuous dividends has long transcended a simple profit distribution; it serves as a more certain anchor of confidence for long-term capital amidst complex economic cycles.</p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

Revenue in the second half of the year increased by&nbsp;<strong>33%</strong>&nbsp;YoY to&nbsp;<strong>$117 million</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is worth noting that the Company's large language model (LLM) business generated a full-year revenue of<strong>&nbsp;$88.43 million</strong>, surging by&nbsp;over 10 times&nbsp;YoY. In particular, this business contributed approximately&nbsp;<strong>$72.49 million</strong>&nbsp;in H2 revenue,&nbsp;five times&nbsp;the level recorded in H1, demonstrating a compelling capacity for large-scale commercial application.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Losses Narrowed Significantly, Making the Path to Profitability Increasingly Clear</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Alongside the rapid revenue growth, the Company's losses improved markedly. In the second half of 2025, the Company's net loss narrowed by&nbsp;<strong>84%</strong>&nbsp;YoY, and its adjusted loss narrowed by&nbsp;<strong>92%</strong>&nbsp;YoY, approaching break-even. This reflects the Company's ongoing improvements in cost control and operational efficiency.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Simultaneously, some of the Company's operating metrics saw marked improvement. The adjusted expense ratio&nbsp;declined&nbsp;significantly by&nbsp;10 percentage points&nbsp;YoY, while selling expenses decreased rather than increased and accounted for only&nbsp;<strong>5.4%</strong>,&nbsp;highlighting a clear <strong>improvement in cost-to-efficiency ratio</strong>.

Unisound adhered to its <strong>"Strong Foundation Model + Deep Application"</strong> strategy, continued to strengthen its<strong> multimodal technology foundation</strong>, and drove the continuous elevation of the global influence of its proprietary large model matrix in fields such as healthcare, speech, and OCR.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the commercialization front, the Company leveraged its AI-native organization to accelerate business execution, and its dual-engine strategy in AI in Healthcare and AI in Daily Life delivered notable results. During the reporting period:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The&nbsp;<strong>AI in Daily Life business&nbsp;</strong>achieved revenue of&nbsp;<strong>$140</strong> million, a YoY increase of&nbsp;<strong>30.8%</strong>. Among this, the Transportation segment recorded nearly&nbsp;<strong>40%</strong>&nbsp;YoY growth. At present, AI agent applications based on the Shanhai large model have been deployed in more than 10 cities, including Qingdao, Ningbo, Shenzhen and Nanning. In addition, cumulative AI chip shipments exceeded&nbsp;<strong>110 million</strong>&nbsp;units, further validating the Company's scale capabilities in endpoint AI products.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The<strong>&nbsp;AI in Healthcare business&nbsp;</strong>achieved revenue of&nbsp;<strong>$35.38 million</strong>, a YoY increase of&nbsp;<strong>22.3%</strong>, with average revenue per customer growing by&nbsp;<strong>53.2%</strong>&nbsp;YoY. In 2025,&nbsp;over 70%&nbsp;of the hospitals the Company collaborated with were tertiary hospitals, and&nbsp;more than one-third of customers&nbsp;had maintained continuous cooperation for&nbsp;over three years. The medical-record entry and generation products powered by the medical large model delivered a&nbsp;10-fold YoY increase in full-annual medical record generation at a single campus of a leading Class III hospital. The commercial insurance AI agent platform recorded a&nbsp;37-fold YoY increase in case processing volume. In deep cooperation with a leading insurance group, the expense control rate was effectively raised to approximately&nbsp;<strong>20%</strong>, delivering more than&nbsp;<strong>$145</strong> million&nbsp;in incremental cost management compared with traditional review methods, comprehensively empowering insurance institutions to refine their medical risk management operations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Continued R&amp;D Investment Strengthens the Technology Moat</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">To consolidate its industry-leading position, the Company continued to invest heavily in R&amp;D in 2025. Full-year R&amp;D expenses exceeded&nbsp;<strong>$55.09 million</strong>, accounting for&nbsp;<strong>75%</strong>&nbsp;of the Company's adjusted operating expenses, while R&amp;D personnel accounted for&nbsp;<strong>69%</strong>&nbsp;of the total workforce. This sustained investment drove breakthroughs across multiple technology areas. For example, in the MedBench 4.0 evaluation, the Company ranked first place in three technical paradigms: "Medical AI Agent," "Medical Large Language Model," and "Medical Multimodal Large Model," earning a "Triple Crown."</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Outlook: Deepening the Technological Foundation and Expanding Application Boundaries</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Looking ahead,&nbsp;<strong>Unisound will continue to deepen its "Strong Foundation Model + Deep Application" strategy</strong>.&nbsp;On the technological front, the Company will continue to increase strategic investment in foundational large models and strive to maintain a world-class level. On the application front, it will use the large-scale expansion of MaaS (Model-as-a-Service) and AI agents as its core growth engine, driving exponential growth in its AI in Daily Life and AI in Healthcare businesses. Meanwhile, the Company is actively exploring the establishment of a recurring revenue system through models such as API calls and Token-based billing, and regards opportunities in consumer-facing (C-end) products as a second growth curve to further expand its commercialization boundaries.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Between Q2 and Q3 2026, Unisound will launch a native AI agent large model for programming and office applications, which is expected to double both intelligence density and token production efficiency.</strong></p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.
