Fosun’s Bold Innovation & Globalization Drive Valuation Upside

HONG KONG, Aug 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On 27 August, Fosun International (HKEX: 00656) announced its 2025 interim results, with total revenue reaching RMB87.28 billion, industrial operation profit amounting to RMB3.15 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent reaching RMB661.2 million.While these figures may seem uneventful at first glance, the underlying shifts are worth taking a closer look.In the first half of 2025, Fosun’s four core subsidiaries generated a total revenue of RMB63.61 billion, with their contribution to the Group’s total revenue rising from 70% in 2024 to 73%. This clearly reflects that Fosun has made notable progress in its core business-focused strategy and has actively strengthened both its operational capabilities and competitive advantages across key industries in recent years.Regarding Fosun’s investment in technology innovation, the first half of 2025 marked a “DeepSeek moment” for China’s innovative drug industry. Fosun’s consistent pursuit of the technology innovation strategy also delivered breakthroughs, fostering a number of globally competitive innovations. Its Health segment posted profit attributable to owners of the parent of RMB756 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 48.3%. Fosun’s investment in technology innovation reached RMB3.6 billion in the first half of 2025, representing sustained growth compared to the same period last year. After years of intense investment, Fosun has entered a phase of accelerated innovations.In addition, leveraging its long-term commitment to global operations, Fosun’s overseas revenue reached RMB46.67 billion in the first half of 2025, with its proportion of the Group’s total revenue rising from 49.3% in 2024 to 53%.These three sets of figures give us a glimpse into the changes in Fosun International’s fundamentals. After years of advancing its innovation and globalization strategies, these have become the core drivers of Fosun’s business growth, expanding the runway for future performance growth while driving a valuation re-rating of Fosun International.Multi-front breakthroughs in innovation poised to drive “adaptive growth”In the first half of 2025, Fosun entered a harvest phase for its innovation achievements. A total of 5 indications of 4 innovative drugs independently developed and licensed-in by Fosun Pharma were approved for launch both domestically and internationally, 4 innovative drugs had entered the pre-launch approval stage. Among them, the Class I new drug independently developed by Fosun Pharma, FUMAINING (luvometinib tablets), was approved for marketing in Chinese mainland, filling the treatment gap in the field of rare tumors and marking an important milestone in Fosun Pharma’s development in the fields of oncology and rare disease treatment.Fosun Pharma’s R&D investment totaled RMB2.584 billion in the first half of 2025, focusing on core therapeutic areas such as solid tumors, hematological tumors, and immuno-inflammatory diseases to build a high-value pipeline portfolio. Meanwhile, it actively expanded into chronic diseases (cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic diseases) and neurological fields.Leveraging the efficiency, cost advantages, and high quality of China’s R&D system, Henlius, a subsidiary of Fosun is scaling up its R&D capacity and building innovation capabilities comparable to those of leading multinational pharmaceutical companies. In the first half of 2025, Henlius achieved multiple breakthroughs in its core innovative products, including the PD-L1-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), HLX43 and the novel epitope anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody, HLX22.Among these innovative drugs, HLX43 is a PD-L1-targeting ADC currently in global Phase II clinical trials. It is undergoing clinical studies for solid tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and thymic carcinoma in countries including China, the US, Japan, and Australia. HLX43 has demonstrated notable competitiveness in terms of drug safety, efficacy, and R&D progress, and holds strong potential to become a broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug.Driven by its innovation strategy, Henlius achieved impressive growth in revenue, profit and cash flow in the first half of the year. Alongside its performance breakthroughs, Henlius has earned strong recognition from investors. As at 26 August, Henlius’ share price saw an impressive 254% surge year-to-date.Fosun’s innovative drug achievements in the first half of the year mark only a starting point. Nearly 20 clinical trials of Fosun Pharma’s innovative drugs were approved to be conducted by domestic and overseas regulatory institutions in the first half of the year, positioning Fosun for adaptive growth.Meanwhile, several promising molecules in Henlius’ early-stage pipeline are advancing rapidly, spanning ADCs, small molecules, T-cell engagers (TCEs), and more. Gradually stepping onto the global innovation stage, these candidates hold potential to become blockbuster products. For example, HLX43, a key focus, has enrolled more than 300 patients globally. Its global Phase II clinical trials are underway, with patient enrolment progressing smoothly across China, the US, Japan, and other countries and clinical efficacy data indicating strong potential for it to become a major product.Unleashing continued benefits from globalizationQuality innovations need the right platform to shine. Fosun’s success in innovative drug R&D is closely linked to another strategic capabilities, globalization. As one of the earliest Chinese private enterprises to go global, Fosun has spent over 30 years building its presence in more than 40 countries and regions worldwide, demonstrating well-recognized globalization capabilities.Fosun’s globalization capabilities have undoubtedly facilitated the establishment of a global innovation system integrating “independent R&D + investment incubation + ecosystem collaboration”, as well as the global expansion of innovative drugs.In August 2025, the small molecule orally administered DPP-1 inhibitor developed by Fosun Pharma achieved overseas licensing for a potential total of US$645 million, garnering strong investor attention. Currently, no small molecule orally administered inhibitors with the same mechanism of action have been approved for marketing worldwide.In the first half of 2025, Henlius’ globalization strategy was in full swing, with global product revenue exceeding RMB2.5568 billion, representing an increase of 3.1% year-on-year. Overseas products profits surged over 200%. Cash inflows from business development (BD) agreements exceeded RMB1 billion, surging 280% year-on-year. As the overseas sales volume of commercialized products continues to rise, Henlius is expected to see significant growth in overseas revenue and profits for the full year of 2025, with strong momentum likely to continue into 2026.Up to date, Henlius has 6 products launched in China, 4 approved for marketing in overseas markets, reaching about 60 markets in Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America and Oceania.Fosun’s globalization capabilities have also driven significant growth across industries such as consumption, cultural tourism, and intelligent manufacturing.Hainan Mining, a subsidiary of Fosun focusing on energy and bulk commodities, saw its overseas revenue proportion exceed that of Fosun International, reaching 57% in the first half of 2025. Hainan Mining commenced pilot production at Phase 1 of the Bougouni lithium mine in Mali. Coupled with the Roc Oil oilfield project in Malaysia and the recently acquired oilfield project in Oman, Hainan Mining is accelerating the building of a “Minerals + Energy” network spanning West Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.In recent years, the Yuyuan Lantern Festival, with a long history in Shanghai, has been steadily expanding its presence overseas. Following its overseas debut in Paris, France in late 2023, the themed lantern installation made a stunning appearance in Hanoi, Vietnam in January 2025, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam. In June, the Lantern Festival lit up at ICONSIAM, a renowned commercial landmark in Bangkok, Thailand, as part of the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Thailand.Songhelou, a time-honored Chinese brand under Yuyuan with a 268-year history, opened its first overseas restaurant in London, the UK. Yuyuan Jewelry Fashion Group will embark on its overseas expansion by the end of this year, targeting Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia as key destinations.Fosun’s overseas subsidiaries have been actively expanding their presence globally. In the first half of 2025, Fosun Insurance Portugal’s international operations accounted for 28.2% of total consolidated business and overseas gross written premiums reached EUR924 million.Club Med, a global resort group under Fosun, once again achieved record-high global performance in the first half of 2025. Its business volume amounted to RMB9.25 billion, up 3.8% year-on-year; operating profit reached RMB1.27 billion, up 11.0% year-on-year.Entering a new phase of valuation recoveryPursuing innovation and globalization requires not only financial investment but also a long-term vision and the patience to endure challenging periods. For companies constantly navigating survival and development challenges, maintaining such persistence is no easy task.Since its establishment in 1992, Fosun has maintained high R&D investment in the Health segment and is now reaping the rewards with steadily increasing revenue contribution. Against the backdrop of booming technology innovations, driven by biopharmaceuticals and AI, Fosun holds strong potential to achieve adaptive growth fueled by blockbuster innovations.Globalization has been a strategic “first-mover” advantage for Fosun since the listing of Fosun International in 2007. While many competitors battled domestically, Fosun seized the opportunity presented by the 2008 global financial crisis to deepen its overseas business presence. As domestic competition intensifies, the imperative “go global or go home” is becoming clear for many companies. With over half of its revenue now from overseas markets, Fosun’s over a decade-long global footprint continues to deliver sustained development benefits.According to Fosun’s interim results, Fosun continued to optimize its asset portfolio in the first half of 2025, maintaining a solid financial position with ample cash reserves. As at 30 June 2025, the total debt to total capital ratio stood at 53%, with debt ratio remaining at a healthy level.In May 2025, the international credit rating agency S&P affirmed Fosun’s credit metrics and maintained its rating outlook as “Stable”. Fosun’s Hong Kong-listed companies in the Health segment saw a strong market capitalization performance in the first half of 2025, driving a revaluation of underlying asset values. As the macroeconomic landscape progressively brightens, Fosun International has initiated a new phase of valuation recovery. Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2025年8月29日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 随着中国消费者对西式快餐的接受度和喜爱度越来越高,中国的西式快餐市场保持高速增长。达势股份(1405.HK)作为达美乐比萨在中国大陆、中国香港特别行政区和中国澳门特别行政区的独家总特许经营商(以下简称:"达美乐中国"/"公司"),近期报告了2025年上半年业绩,其在竞争白热化的中国西式快餐市场中脱颖而出,树立了卓越业绩新标杆,在保持高效运营的同时,进一步提升市场竞争力。财务表现亮眼 体现多重竞争优势根据弗洛斯特沙利文数据,按2024年比萨销售额计算,达美乐比萨已跃升为中国第二大比萨品牌。但达美乐中国并未止步于此,2025年上半年业绩表现优异,多项指标创历史新高,维持积极的增长势头。达美乐中国销售额连续多年达到两位数增长,上半年营业额高达25.9亿元(人民币,下同),同比增长27.0%。2024年公司首次实现全年报告与调整后净利润均为正,2025上半年净利润同比大幅增长504.4%达到6,592万元,经调整净利润同比增长79.6%达到9,142万元。在市场波动的背景下,在收入增长又同时实现利润提升,这印证了其增长韧性。达美乐中国门店网络近年来不断快速扩张。自现任管理团队于2017年三季度上任以来,达美乐中国充分实践"走深走广"的高质量门店扩张战略,门店网络已从一百多家扩张到1,198家店,进驻了中国大陆48个城市。自2022年12月进入中西部地区市场以来,短短两年半内,达美乐中国已经完成100家门店布局。达美乐中国的扩张战略相较于速度更侧重于质量。公司建立了严格的门店审阅基准以确保每一家新店都具备长期盈利的能力,这使得其门店汰换率远低于行业水平。门店的高质量不仅体现在数量上,更是体现在其全球达美乐系统中遥遥领先的销售能力。新市场新开门店广受消费者欢迎,经常可见宾客盈门的景象。沈阳首店仅仅开业198天就打破了此前由厦门首店创下的超3,100万元的年度销售记录。今年8月,邯郸首店更是以超54万人民币的销售额和6,000多笔订单打破达美乐全球门店首日销售记录。目前达美乐中国已占据达美乐全球超21,500家门店首30天销售额排行榜中前50名中48个席位。达美乐中国展现了强大的业务韧性:即便在新增门店与市场波动的双重压力下,其在剔除了超高产城市门店进入同店周期影响因素后,同店销售(SSSG)依然逆势实现正增长,这得益于其卓越的运营控制能力。2025年,在上海新国际博览中心举办的SIAL西雅国际食品展(上海)上发布的《2025 披萨新潜力白皮书》指出,外卖渗透率提升是中国比萨市场强劲增长的主要动力之一。2022年,中国比萨行业线上市场份额首度超过线下市场,占比达58.1%,预计未来几年线上市场占比有望持续提升。达美乐中国多年提供有保障的配送服务,品牌给出"外送30分钟必达,超时送免费比萨券"的配送服务保障承诺,上半年整体准点送达率高达94%,为未来线上市场扩张奠定基础。产品运营多管齐下 深耕消费体验依托达美乐全球品牌的资产能力和本土供应链管理能力,达美乐中国逐步实现高效的经营效率,为消费者提供高质价比的美味比萨和多样化的消费体验。在餐饮行业之中,产品的味道是最主要的竞争力之一。达美乐中国菜单保留经典畅销款产品,并多年维持定价一致性,确保消费者即便在久未光顾后,也依旧能够获得熟悉的味道和消费体验,从而获得了高度的品牌认同感和消费者信任。与此同时,达美乐中国从未停止拥抱变化、产品创新,积极进行口味、食材组合的创新,也十分重视饼底多样化。2025上半年,达美乐中国进一步丰富广受欢迎的榴莲比萨系列和火山饼底,推出迪拜巧克力风情猫山王榴莲比萨、可可火山饼底等新组合,也加入托斯卡纳风情芝浓三文鱼比萨、可可熔岩流心芝士卷边等新产品。达美乐中国提供丰富的配料和饼底选择,结合高度自定义的小程序点单系统,为消费者创造了超400种风味组合,这不仅给予了顾客自由探索的乐趣,更能精准满足每一位消费者的个性化口味需求,体现了达美乐中国深厚的品类专业度和精准的消费者洞察力。如今平价西餐快餐品牌正在加速市场下沉,触达更多下沉市场的消费场景。《2025披萨新潜力白皮书》预计2025年至2027年,中国三线及以下城市有望新增1.5万家比萨门店。在产品多样化的基础上,达美乐中国的价格策略同具竞争优势。其菜单结构清晰,菜单划分了物超所值、经典风味和甄选尊享三种价格分类,以满足不同消费层级的需求。渠道策略上,同时上架第三方外卖平台,有节奏和选择性的参加平台活动,以保持品牌定价优势。此外,公司同步构建会员生态,双重驱动:1."达人荟"会员可参与新品小游戏有机会获得免费比萨和小食券;2. 在积分抵扣活动中,达美乐中国提供最高达10%的积分可兑换金额为消费者提供了实质性好处;3.又融入积分抽奖、入会好礼等活动,进一步提升了会员活跃度。为进一步触达年轻一代消费者,达美乐中国在营销上也积极创新调整。品牌营销迈向多元化,向跨界合作和社交媒体平台拓展。品牌通过一系列精心选择的IP合作,从去年的腾讯《白荆回廊》、Hello Kitty到今年的网易《蛋仔派对》以及近期的史努比,前述IP涵盖年轻消费者喜爱的游戏及文化IP。达美乐中国深度切入年轻圈层的文化语境,强化和年轻消费者的情感连接,让品牌在交易属性之外建立了更强的文化共鸣。同时,达美乐中国去年开始陆续布局抖音等短视频与直播阵地,旨在通过社交媒体平台扩大影响力,持续强化其年轻化、数字化的品牌形象。2025年上半年,达美乐中国的会员计划"达人荟"累计会员数同比增长55.2%至3,010万,成为上半年业绩中最亮眼的战略成果之一。会员收入贡献占比从63.6%进一步提升至66%,会员规模与粘性双升,用户池扩张的同时深化用户参与度与忠诚度。消费者群体更为多元,将美味比萨带给更多消费者。平衡增长下的长期潜力达美乐中国2025年上半年的表现展现了健康增长和盈利能力的难得平衡。在不断变化的消费环境中,品牌继续构建可持续竞争优势,为公司保持增长、抢占市场份额奠定了坚实基础。凭借美味、高质价比、高效率的产品和广受信赖的品牌力以及扎实的运营根基,达美乐中国在高速增长的西式快餐赛道中脱颖而出。在规模持续扩大的同时,公司始终注重单店模型健康度和运营效率,支撑了整体盈利质量的稳步提升。这种兼具爆发力与韧性的发展模式,使达美乐中国成为西式快餐行业中一个极具吸引力的长期增长范本,展现出穿越周期、持续创造价值的巨大潜力。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

业绩摘要:- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月(「回顾期」)的收益约为18.3亿港元,较去年同期增加约7.8%。收益增加主要由于本集团持续的自然增长(主要在欧洲及澳洲地区),并借着我们于2025年1月完成收购泰国最大的牙科实验室Hexa Ceram Company Limited(「Hexa Ceram」)而加快。- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月的毛利率约为54.8%;毛利约为10.1亿港元,较去年同期增加约10.0%。- 本集团于截至2025年6月30日止六个月的EBITDA约为4.6亿港元,较去年同期增加约21.6%。- 本集团截至2025年6月30日止六个月的纯利约为2.9亿港元,较去年同期增加约34.7%。- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月的每股基本盈利为30.37港仙。- 董事会已宣派截至2025年6月30日止六个月的中期股息每股普通股10.7港仙。- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月,本集团于中国内地、泰国及越南生产设施生产之数码化解决方案个案(海外及国内)增加至约457,653件,较2024年同期增加24.4%,原因为客户持续采用口腔内部扫描仪。香港, 2025年8月29日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 8月28日,全球领先之义齿器材供应商-现代牙科集团有限公司(简称「现代牙科」或「本集团」,股份代号:03600.HK)欣然公布截至2025年6月30日止6个月之未经审核中期业绩。截至2025年6月30日止六个月,在牙科行业数码化趋势的持续支持下,本集团的多维度策略及持续提升的营运效率及生产力使其于本期间的收益、纯利及EBITDA均创下纪录。此情况在宏观经济环境充满挑战之时,包括牙科手术的需求普遍疲弱及贸易战的不确定性下仍能体现。本集团充分善用位于泰国、越南及中国内地的全球化生产设施,积极应对前所未有的国际贸易环境。全球数码化趋势持续推动整合义齿行业,让本集团进一步增加其于业内的市场份额。而我们数码化的持续转型有望改善顾客及患者的体验,可令本集团在竞争对手中脱颖而出,表现优于同行。凭借销售及经销网络的优势,我们于欧洲、北美、大中华、澳洲及其他国家的义齿行业均取得领先地位。欧洲市场业务自欧洲市场的销售收益占我们于回顾期间收益的最大部分。于回顾期间,欧洲市场录得收益约9.2亿港元,较截至2024年6月30日止六个月增加约9,734.1万港元。此地理市场占本集团收益总额约50.2%。欧洲市场收益增加是由于推出新产品(例如数码化义齿)及我们最先进的数码化流程,推动销售订单量增加。本集团已成为提供全面数码化解决方案的先驱,范围涵盖多项微创及美容义齿解决方案以至口腔内部扫描仪及透明矫正器,本集团已准备好把握牙科行业数码化趋势加速带来的机遇。本集团继续透过建立以教育及数码化为重点且贴近客户需求的牙科解决方案生态系统,积极从国际及本地竞争对手取得市场份额;并透过不同的境内及境外资源有效地满足我们客户的高期望。本集团一直致力并将继续装备好自己,为市场上的牙科领域提供最先进的数码化解决方案。北美市场业务自北美市场的销售收益占回顾期间收益的第二大部分。于回顾期间,北美市场录得收益约3.7亿港元,较截至2024年6月30日止六个月减少约1,964.5万港元。此地理市场占本集团收益总额约19.9%。虽然2025年上半年对主动美容治疗的需求仍然疲弱,我们的中央化数码流程及广泛的生产网络让我们为北美客户提供更高服务质素及营运效率。我们位于美国、中国、越南及泰国等地的多元化供应基地,在应对美国关税的不确定性时带来更大的弹性 - 使我们比其他竞争对手更具优势。虽然进口产品线的数码化起初带动整体市场个案的增长,然而2025年4月在美国实施的关税带来新的不确定性及为我们以进口为主的业务单位的后续销售带来下跌。大中华市场业务于回顾期间,大中华市场录得收益约2.9亿港元,较截至2024年6月30日止六个月减少约4,257.6万港元。此地理市场占本集团收益总额约16.0%。中国内地市场面对带量采购政策及持续价格竞争的逆境。此亦导致中国内地诊所积极于香港推广种植牙治疗(香港患者就诊人数明显减少)。本集团有意转移低利润业务,并专注于服务中及高价值客户,确保本集团业务能够长期及可持续获利。本集团对此市场的中长期前景感到乐观,特别是在政府最新的采购相关措施中,预计(i)规范义齿价格及建立价格透明度,促进公平竞争;(ii)让本集团领先的品牌名称及声望成为客户及顾客的主要考虑;及(iii)让本集团从其规模化的生产团队中得益及根据顾客或客户更有效分配资源。澳洲市场业务于回顾期间,澳洲市场录得收益约1.4亿港元,较截至2024年6月30日止六个月增加约995.6万港元。此地理市场占本集团收益总额约7.5%。澳洲的收益录得双位数增长,反映牙科行业数化码趋势带动更多新的数码化产品,以及收购Digital Sleep的收益贡献,但部分被相较于截至2024年6月30日止六个月,澳元兑港元贬值4.0%抵销所致。其他市场其他市场主要包括印度洋国家、马来西亚、台湾、新加坡及泰国。截至2025年6月30日止六个月,该等市场录得收益约1.2亿港元,较截至2024年6月30日止六个月增加约8,790.7万港元。此地理市场占本集团收益总额约6.4%。其他市场的收益增加主要由于新收购的Hexa Ceram的收益贡献所致。展望及策略全球宏观经济环境仍然不明朗,地缘政治挑战让全球各行业处于逆境当中。然而,本集团的业务遍及全球多个地区及市场,多元化的经营使其在面对该等挑战时享有独特优势。有别于在单一国家或有限地区经营的竞争对手,本集团均衡多元的国家风险策略,确保其在动荡时刻仍然坚毅不屈,平稳过渡。凭借全球布局及我们适应当地市场环境的能力,使本集团的表现优于竞争对手,并能把握新兴机遇。数码化势不可挡,带动义齿行业的整合。本集团于此趋势中尽享优势,凭借其中央化数码工作流程、先进的生产能力及全球化网络,旨在提升营运效率及提供卓越的客户体验。我们持续对数码化的投资不仅加强我们的竞争优势,亦加快行业的整合,本集团可以从中获得更大的市场份额。我们在过往多年作出多项标志性收购,包括最近于2025年1月收购泰国最大牙科实验室Hexa Ceram,本集团的全球分销及销售网络进一步多元化,加强在东南亚地区的影响力。是次扩张连同我们位于美国、中国、越南及泰国等地的多元化供应基地,让本集团在应对与贸易不明朗因素及其他地缘政治风险等相关的挑战时带来更高弹性。凭借董事会丰富的经验及克服短期挑战的决心,本集团已准备就绪,继续全力把握新商机,同时保持审慎及谨慎的态度,以保障股东利益。关于现代牙科集团现代牙科集团有限公司 (股份代号: 03600.HK) 为全球领先的义齿器材供应商、经销商和顾问,专注于发展迅速的义齿行业为客户提供定制式义齿。我们的产品组合大致可分为三类﹕固定义齿器材,例如牙冠及牙桥;活动义齿器材,例如活动义齿;及其他器材,例如正畸类器材、透明牙套、运动防护器及防鼾器。现代牙科集团拥有多个备受称许的全球品牌,包括西欧的Labocast、Permadental及Elysee Dental、中国的洋紫荆牙科器材、香港的现代牙科器材、美国的Modern Dental USA及MicroDental、澳洲及新西兰的Modern Dental Pacific、新加坡的Modern Dental SG、台湾的 Modern Dental TW、马来西亚的 Apex Digital Dental及泰国的Hexa Ceram等。我们提供稳定和优质的产品及卓越的客户服务,令这些公司品牌能茁壮成长。我们于全球超过 28个国家拥有超过 80 家服务中心及服务逾 30,000 名客户。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Yunkang Group’s 2025 Interim Net Loss Narrows, Demonstrating Strong Operational Resilience

HONG KONG, Aug 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Yunkang Group Limited ("Yunkang" or the "Group"; Stock Code: 2325), a leading medical operation services provider in China, has announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the "Reporting Period"). The Group adopted “one horizontal, one vertical” as its core business strategy: horizontally, it extended a lean management system to advance multi-mode collaboration among medical institution alliances; vertically, it focused on specialty-specific innovation in medical diagnostics to fast-track the translation and implementation of new technologies and products. Meanwhile, the Group leveraged AI to enhance the comprehensive solutions for medical institution alliances, promoted the practical application of AI in healthcare scenarios, and continuously strengthened the value of empowering clinical practices, demonstrating strong operational resilience.In the first half of 2025, due to multiple factors, including the centralized drug-procurement program, cost controls of medical insurance, and fierce market competition, the Group’s short-term results did not meet expectations. However, the Group remained committed to product and business model innovation, and further refined the mechanisms and processes of its operational management. By adhering to lean operations, the overall performance has achieved significant improvements. During the Reporting Period, the Group’s gross profit margin reached approximately 34.0%, representing an improvement of approximately 4.4% over the overall gross profit margin for 2024. The net loss amounted to RMB55.4 million, a significant decrease of 56.1% compared to the same period last year. The joint construction business remained the Group’s largest business segment, which recorded the revenue of RMB180.3 million, accounting for 57.6% of the total revenue, increased by approximately 9.6% as compared with the same period last year, achieving significant outcomes in empowering medical alliance clients through in-depth services, paving the way for the Group’s long-term high-quality growth.

During the Reporting Period, the Group provided nearly 450 alliance clients with multi-scenario solutions tailored to different clinical needs, including AI+ digital intelligence solutions for medical institution alliances, comprehensive collaborations with medical laboratories, solutions for regional/pathology centers and precision medicine center, and specialty-based solutions for alliance development, among other multi-model collaboration services. By leveraging Yunkang’s strengths, the Group assisted healthcare institutions at all levels in enhancing service capabilities and expanding service coverage, established a hierarchical and coordinated healthcare service system, and promoted the development of regional hierarchical diagnosis and treatment services.During the Reporting Period, despite increasingly fierce market competition, the Group maintained solid growth in the joint construction business through continuous deep collaboration with leading hospitals and municipal and county-level hospitals, further consolidating its competitive advantage.“One vertical” ——Joint innovation platform for diagnostic testing serves as strong driver for R&DThe Group has always focused on “clinical needs”, continuously strengthening hospital-enterprise collaboration and pioneering the establishment of a joint innovation platform for diagnostic testing, driving business expansion and product competitiveness. During the Reporting Period, the Group forged joint diagnostic innovation partnerships with dozens of top-tier medical institutions nationwide, delivering a portfolio of testing products addressing multiple infectious syndromes, including respiratory tract infections, central nervous system infections, urinary tract infections, gynecological infections, and tuberculosis, as well as genetic testing products for personalized medication. Collectively, these innovative products have served nearly 300 clients across the country, and achieved sustained growth in testing revenue.During the Reporting Period, Yunkang and Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital successively launched a series of new panel products covering respiratory tract infections, central nervous system infections, and invasive fungal infections, successfully creating a standardized incubation model for domestic hospital-enterprise research innovation and translation, as well as a “1+N” medical inspection collaboration network. Moreover, throughout the process of scientific and technological innovation, both parties have gained rich clinical experience. With the active involvement and sustained efforts of dozens of domestic diagnostic experts and scholars, they formulated the Expert Consensus on the Application of tNGS for Clinical Standardization, which was published during the Reporting Period in Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine, a leading journal in China’s diagnostic field. During the Reporting Period, Yunkang also maintained close collaboration with the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, one of China’s top-tier hospitals, and successfully developed a urinary tNGS product, advancing the clinical practice of precision diagnosis and treatment for urinary tract infections. Simultaneously, Yunkang partnered with the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University to establish a “university-hospital-enterprise joint innovation platform” and incubated and operated the “innovation project of psychiatric drug genetic testing”, which has successfully yielded genetic testing products for antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and sedative-hypnotics.AI empowers multi-modal solutions for medical institution alliances, improving quality and efficiency to deepen client services During the Reporting Period, Yunkang fully employed DeepSeek and achieved digital deployment across its platforms. Centered on the core concepts of “AI+” and “precision diagnostics”, Yunkang extensively applied artificial intelligence technology across the multi-technology platforms of its medical laboratories. Taking the in-depth integration of AI technology with Yunkang pathology diagnosis platform as an example, the per-slide efficiency of AI-empowered diagnostic was continuously optimized, achieving simultaneous improvements in intelligence, efficiency, and quality. Moreover, through the deployment of intelligent applications, Yunkang realized smart online customer services and the efficient review of results and reports, which fully streamlined diagnostic service processes and improved experience and satisfaction of its client services. In the process of jointly developing new technologies and products through hospital-enterprise R&D, Yunkang’s AI technology empowered product innovation and R&D across multiple aspects, including bioinformatics analysis, report interpretation, disease risk assessment, and development and translation of novel products, by leveraging the powerful data analysis, modeling, and predictive capabilities of large-scale AI models. This has accelerated the clinical implementation.Notably, Yunkang unveiled its medical AI model “ZhiYun” developed in collaboration with Runda Medical and Huawei, spanning the entire clinical workflow from pre-diagnosis to diagnosis and post-diagnosis. It will provide more efficient and convenient support and experience across all stages of clinical medical services. Meanwhile, Yunkang signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Runda Medical to strengthen in-depth collaboration across the industrial ecosystems in “AI + IVD + healthcare services”, jointly promoting the development and application of large-scale AI models in the medical field, and providing clients with digital-intelligence healthcare solutions. In the future, “ZhiYun”, the medical AI model, will be piloted in Yunkang’s healthcare partners and gradually rolled out nationwide, to improve quality and efficiency of medical institution alliance operations.Future prospects2025 marks the final lap for implementing the 14th Five-Year Plan. China has accelerated the capacity expansion of premium healthcare resources and their extension to lower-tier markets, resulting in a more balanced regional distribution. The country has also expedited the development of medical institution alliances and driven their upgrade from “framework building” to “high-quality operation”. Clinical treatment is also shifting from “broad-spectrum therapies” to “precision medicine”, with the growth potential of the industry continuing to be realized. At the same time, AI technology has continued to empower hierarchical diagnosis and treatment services, and the industry is embracing new growth opportunities. Looking ahead, Yunkang will continue to keep pace with industry development trends and align with national policies, further strengthening the value of empowering clinical practices, and persistently exploring the “product innovation + business innovation” dual-pronged model to accelerate business development, deeply empower medical testing services, and benefit more residents.Yunkang Group Limited (Stock Code: 2325)Yunkang Group is a leading medical operation service provider in China, which started to provide standardized medical diagnostic services to medical institutions at all levels as early as 2008. Leveraging its own professional diagnostic capabilities and the nationwide service network of integrated healthcare systems, Yunkang has gradually grown to become a medical operation service platform.

Industry Background: Robotics Entering the Acceleration Phase of Application DeploymentAt present, the global robotics industry is in a stage of rapid development, with national strategies and policies being introduced intensively. On August 26, the State Council officially released the Opinions of the State Council on Deeply Implementing the “AI+” Initiative (Guo Fa [2025] No. 11), which explicitly calls for promoting the extensive and in-depth integration of artificial intelligence with various industries and fields across the economy and society, and accelerating the formation of new models of intelligent economy and intelligent society characterized by human-machine collaboration, cross-industry integration, and co-creation.Under this national strategy, the robotics industry is shifting from “technological breakthroughs” to “application deployment.” Automobiles and robotics, as two highly complementary industries, are increasingly showing a trend of cross-sector integration. The cooperation between Shoucheng Holdings and IAT Group, under the dual drivers of favorable policy and strong market demand, will inject new momentum into robotics applications across key segments such as R&D, manufacturing, transportation, and mobility services.IAT is a leading enterprise in China’s automotive design field and the only independent automotive design company listed on the A-share market. The company provides full-process services ranging from complete vehicle R&D and design to core component manufacturing, while pursuing a globalization strategy of “technology + supply chain.” According to public information, IAT has served more than 80 clients and participated in the development of nearly 500 vehicle models. Its clients include major OEMs such as FAW, Dongfeng, BAIC, Geely, emerging EV brands, as well as joint-venture automakers. This highlights IAT’s strong OEM resources and delivery capabilities across the automotive value chain.At the same time, through its subsidiary — Beijing IATROBOT Technology Co., Ltd. — IAT has officially entered the robotics sector. IATROBOT is dedicated to building an integrated R&D, design, and simulation training platform, capable of supporting multi-scenario robotics development from simulation and testing to optimization. The company has already launched multiple R&D projects, including wheeled robots, underwater robots, drilling robots, and pet-care robots, demonstrating its potential in cross-scenario development and industry collaboration. The involvement of IATROBOT expands the scope of this cooperation beyond traditional automotive design, providing important support for the integration of robotics R&D, simulation, and automotive industrialization.By partnering with IAT and IATROBOT, Shoucheng will be able to embed robotics technologies deeply into the core stages of the automotive value chain, such as vehicle manufacturing, intelligent assembly, and production line testing. This will enable robots to truly enter the production line and accelerate industrial adoption. This strategic cooperation is not merely a technological connection — it leverages IAT’s extensive OEM client network to move robotics scenarios from “next-door demonstrations” directly into the “factory workshop,” bridging the crucial pathway between R&D validation and scaled industrial delivery.II. Key Areas of Cooperation: Balancing R&D Breakthroughs and Application DeploymentGuided by the State Council’s “AI+” Initiative, the four parties will anchor their collaboration on the full chain of “technology R&D — industrial application — ecosystem co-construction,” working together to drive industrial innovation. The cooperation will focus on the following areas to promote the deep integration of robotics and automobiles:(1) Technological Innovation and Joint R&DThe four parties will jointly build an integrated robotics R&D and simulation platform, drawing on the comprehensive R&D system of the automotive industry.

Leveraging NVIDIA Isaac/Omniverse technology, the parties will co-develop an integrated simulation training platform that not only supports simulation of robotics applications in automotive R&D, manufacturing, and testing, but also enables cross-scenario simulations such as collaborative operations between autonomous driving vehicles and logistics robots.In addition, a mechanism for data and outcome sharing will be established: Shoucheng Holdings will provide operational data resources from transportation and mobility scenarios, while IAT will contribute expertise in automotive engineering and robotics R&D, together forming a complete closed loop spanning simulation — R&D — validation — production line application.(2) Priority Procurement and Synergy MechanismAcross R&D design, simulation training, complete machine and component supply, the four parties will adopt a priority procurement mechanism, under which signatories will be given preference as partners under equivalent conditions. Shoucheng Holdings and Shoucheng Robotics will focus on product promotion, distribution, and supporting services, while IAT and IATROBOT will concentrate on technology R&D, engineering validation, and customized whole-machine development.The parties will also work together to advance secondary development of robotic systems, ensuring optimal adaptation of robotics products to scenarios such as automotive production lines, intelligent assembly, and line testing. Through division of labor and collaborative mechanisms, a complementary cycle of product supply — technological innovation — application feedback will be established, accelerating the conversion of results and enhancing commercialization efficiency.(3) Talent DevelopmentLeveraging the research and industrial platforms of Shoucheng, IAT, and their partners, the four parties will jointly carry out technological problem-solving, simulation training, and application pilots, providing researchers and engineers with cross-industry, cross-scenario practical environments. Regular technical seminars and industry forums will be held, inviting experts and upstream and downstream enterprises to participate, thereby establishing a joint talent development mechanism. This initiative aims to cultivate a new generation of young researchers with both automotive engineering backgrounds and practical experience in robotics industrialization, laying a solid talent foundation for long-term growth.(4) Expanding Development HorizonsThe four parties will closely align with national strategies for “AI+” and robotics industry development, with a focus on scaling up “Robotics + Automobiles” applications in R&D, manufacturing, testing, and mobility services. Building on this foundation, the cooperation will gradually extend into broader fields such as smart transportation, intelligent manufacturing, healthcare, education, and public services, covering the design, R&D, production, testing, and commercialization of robots and core components. At the same time, by integrating capital and industry, the parties will drive coordinated upgrades across the value chain, ultimately forming a full-cycle closed loop from R&D validation to large-scale application. This will create a demonstrative “Robotics + Automobiles” application matrix, achieving mutual benefits and long-term value creation.III. Strategic Significance: Establishing a New Benchmark for Robotics ApplicationsThe greatest value of the robotics industry lies in real-world applications, and “Robotics + Automobiles” stands out as one of the most promising and high-potential application directions. From complete vehicle R&D to intelligent manufacturing, from traffic scheduling to smart mobility, robots will create tremendous value across the entire automotive value chain.Shoucheng Holdings, leveraging its capital platform, ecosystem resources, and industrial fund advantages, has invested in leading domestic enterprises such as Unitree Robotics, Galbot, Noetix Robotics, Galaxea-AI, and Booster Robotics, equipping it with the capability to integrate frontier technologies. Shoucheng Robotics has established collaborations with hundreds of high-quality upstream and downstream enterprises, making it one of the most comprehensive resource-linking platforms in China. IAT and IATROBOT, in turn, bring mature automotive engineering systems into robotics R&D and industrialization. Together, the combined strengths of both sides will form a complete pathway of “R&D — iteration — application — scale-up.”By joining forces with IAT, Shoucheng will further integrate its scenario resources and industrial ecosystem with IAT’s expertise in vehicle R&D, engineering capabilities, and industrialization experience. Over the next one to two years, the cooperation will focus on the deep integration of “Robotics + Automobiles,” taking the lead in demonstrating large-scale applications across vehicle R&D, production and manufacturing, smart transportation, and mobility services.
