HONG KONG, Mar 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - As AI accelerates into the inference era, enterprise-grade AI is achieving large-scale deployment, driving an exponential surge in Token consumption and ushering data demand into a new development stage. Against this backdrop, high-quality, structured and scenario-specific professional data has become critical for enterprises to forge core strategic competitiveness in the era of AI.As a leading provider of AI real-time data infrastructure and analysis services in China, Xunce Technology is rapidly solidifying its core position in AI data, driven by industry tailwinds, full-chain technological capabilities and diversified growth engines. Amid the unfolding landscape of the intelligent economy, this ten-year industry stalwart is entering a pivotal window for structural revaluation.Token Value Restructuring: Making Every Data Access Quantifiable and MonetizableFounded in 2016, Xunce Technology has built a full-chain technological system spanning data acquisition, cleansing, standardization, real-time computing and large- model optimization over a decade of development. With AI Data Agent at its core, the Company specializes in millisecond-level real-time data processing, serving a diversified portfolio of industries including finance, urban governance, high-end manufacturing, healthcare, robotics, satellite applications, low-altitude economy, electric power, power grids and energy.As the era of AI inference unfolds, Token is evolving from mere “fuel” to a form of “hard currency”. Maximizing the value of each individual Token has emerged as a central challenge in the large-model inference era. Today, general-purpose large models typically rely on a “computing power for precision” approach, where every inference run generates substantial wasteful Token consumption. Should inference fail, all Tokens expended in the process are lost entirely, which is a common pain-point plaguing general AI systems.By contrast, vertical AI solutions equip general large language models with an external industry “brain” powered by domain-specific data. At its core, such solutions optimize inference logic via business-aware models, enabling upfront task feasibility validation and eliminating Token waste at the source. With deep expertise in professional vertical domain data modeling, Xunce Technology leverages its extensive portfolio of high-quality, scenario-specific proprietary data to act as an “efficiency multiplier” for every Token invocation. This structure translates Token consumption into higher-precision outputs while securing maximal result certainty. Crucially, the Company is developing full-chain capabilities spanning data metering, pricing and settlement, enabling quantifiable and monetizable measurement for every data access. By elevating per-unit Token efficiency, it delivers enhanced business value to enterprise clients.Aligned with this strategy, Xunce’s platform features a “LEGO-inspired” modular architecture, enabling clients to flexibly compose modules tailored to their specific needs. This “assemble-on-demand, adapt-in-real-time” design fosters deep and long-term customer stickiness. The Company also employs a highly flexible pricing framework, with fees structured around module count, processing throughput and other key metrics. Supported by subscription, transaction-based and Token-based payment models, its pricing mechanism precisely aligns with diverse client demands.Currently, Xunce Technology is fully building a full-chain data measurement and settlement system. It is exploring pricing mechanisms tied to large model inference frequency and module usage count, allowing customers to pay for effective Tokens rather than raw computing power consumption.Inflection Point Reached, Profitability ConfirmedDriven by Token value restructuring and innovative business models, Xunce Technology has delivered robust performance and reached a historic inflection point. In H2 2025, the Company posted an adjusted net profit of RMB 50 million, achieving its first positive profitability. Meanwhile, revenue rose from RMB 197.85 million in H1 2025 to RMB 1,086.81 million in H2, representing a 449.32% quarter-on-quarter surge. Amid rapid business expansion, the Company has witnessed a substantial improvement in profitability.Explosive Revenue GrowthReturn to Profit in H2Doubled ARPU & Per Capita GrowthImproved Cash Flow & Operating Metrics+103% Y/YNarrowed by 33%+105% Y/YSignificant Improvement2025 full-year revenue YoY growth2025 full-year adjusted net loss2025 ARPU YoY growth2025 net operating cash flow+449% H/HRMB 50 million+135% Y/YAmple cash on hand in 20252025 H2 revenue HoH growth2025 H2 adjusted net profit2025 per capita revenue YoY growthAverage collection period decreased in 2025For the full year, the Company posted total operating revenue of RMB 1,284.66 million, representing a substantial year-on-year increase of 103.28% and successfully breaking the key milestone of RMB 1 billion in revenue. This signifies that the Company has evolved from an early-stage, technology-driven startup into a new era of platform-based development with scalable and replicable business models.Furthermore, the Company’s combined gross proceeds for 2025 amounted to approximately RMB 792.08 million, representing a substantial increase of 63.44% compared to approximately RMB 484.63 million in the previous year. In terms of adjusted net loss, after deducting one-off non-recurring gains and losses, the Company’s adjusted net loss for 2025 was RMB 54.84 million, representing a significant narrowing of 33% from RMB 82.37 million in 2024.Notably, the Company achieved combined gross margin of 62% in 2025, exceeding that of Cambricon (55%), a leading AI chip provider, and far outpacing general large- model developer Minimax (25.4%). This underscores its high-value strategic positioning and resilient business model in the AI data infrastructure sector.In terms of R&D investment, Xunce Technology has also maintained efficient growth conversion. In 2025, the Company’s R&D expenditure reached RMB 450.44 million, with R&D expenses accounting for 48% of revenue, driving a 105% year-on-year increase in operating revenue. For comparison, Minimax’s R&D expenditure accounted for as high as 219% of its revenue, with a revenue growth rate of 159%. Xunce achieved a comparable expansion pace with a lower R&D intensity.As revenue scale continues to expand and gross margin in new industries gradually stabilize, the Company’s short-term objective is to achieve an inflection point in adjusted net profit. Looking ahead, as the industries already deployed enter a period of margin stabilization and Token-based payment and revenue-sharing models gain accelerated traction, its net profit is poised to improve at an accelerated rate.Driven by Diversified Growth Engines, Business Structure Continuously OptimizedThe robust revenue growth is not accidental, but underpinned by Xunce Technology’s multi-dimensional, systematically structured growth framework.Accelerate cross-industry replication. The Company currently covers 9 major industries, benchmarking Palantir’s 17 industries and leaving ample room for horizontal expansion. Xunce Technology is rapidly deepening its presence in key national strategic sectors such as asset management, telecommunications, electric power, urban management, high-end manufacturing, healthcare, energy, robotics training platforms and commercial aerospace. For each new industry, the Company first completes industry-specific data accumulation over 3 to 5 years, enabling rapid replication and scaled deployment across peer customers thereafter.The business model fosters deep customer value enhancement. As customers evolve from single-module adoption to multi-module deployment, and from pilot trials to full integration into core business workflows, substantial upside potential in ARPU remains. By synergistically lifting Token invocation volume, module usage count and per-Token value, the Company will unlock a new dimension of growth.Steadily expand overseas business and establish a global layout. The Company targets raising its overseas revenue share to 10% to 15% in 2026, and will further escalate its globalization strategy during 2027 and 2028, unlocking new avenues for sustained long-term growth.Cultivate a strategic cooperative ecosystem to forge deep integration with upstream and downstream partners in computing power and algorithms. Xunce Technology is engaging in in-depth collaboration with leading domestic GPU providers and large language model enterprises to build a one-stop solution encompassing “infrastructure computing power, upper-layer applications and data governance,” further solidifying its core position in the AI data infrastructure sector. Pioneer cutting-edge applications to seize commanding heights in future industries. From robotics data platforms to commercial aerospace, low-altitude economy and power grid systems, Xunce Technology has taken the lead in extending AI infrastructure to emerging sectors with stringent demands for real-time performance and operational reliability. Such mission-critical scenarios with ultra-high requirements for data timeliness and stability serve as a rigorous validation of the Company’s technological advantages. The Company will continue to ramp up R&D investment in frontier fields, refine its technical capabilities through high-end application scenarios and unlock new high-growth, high-value growth tracks for long-term development.Evolving from Data Services to Core AI Economy Infrastructure: Building Sustainable Competitive BarriersFrom a macro perspective, the artificial intelligence data sector is witnessing a profound convergence of five defining trends: a surge in demand for real-time, secure, high-quality data in the era of AI Agent; the rise of domain-specific models elevating professional data as a critical enabler for industry-wide intelligent upgrading; standardization of data interfaces driven by next-generation AI operating systems including Open Claw, positioning Xunce Technology as a core data Token provider; Token-based payment emerging as a new paradigm for the data element market; and the implementation of data asset capitalization policies, spurring a sharp rise in enterprises’ mandatory investment in data governance.At the intersection of these five pivotal trends, Xunce Technology has established a robust fundamental logic for sustained long-term growth. The Company has evolved beyond a traditional data infrastructure provider to become a critical “connector” and “enabler” linking large models, computing power and cloud vendors. By integrating upstream models, downstream computing power and horizontal collaboration with cloud vendors, the Company delivers irreplaceable data-centric value to its enterprise clients.The Company stresses that it shares a natural upstream-downstream synergy with general large-model providers, rather than a competitive dynamic. Analogous to the deep collaboration between GPU manufacturers and model developers, the value of Xunce Technology lies in a mutually reinforcing cycle: the wider the adoption of models by its clients, the greater the opportunity for the Company to deliver services and generate incremental value for clients.Notably, in contrast to niche market players offering only isolated modules such as data cleansing or computing engines, Xunce Technology’s core differentiation lies in its full-process coverage and outcome-driven accountability. The Company provides an end-to-end solution spanning data acquisition, cleansing, standardization, modeling, real-time computing and model tuning, ensuring that final data delivered to clients is clean, accurate, real-time and accessible for model invocation at millisecond latency. Furthermore, through deep integration into clients’ private clouds or on-premises environments, the Company acts as a dedicated data steward, fostering exceptional customer stickiness and forging robust, sustainable competitive barriers.Currently, the Company’s product portfolio and solutions feature more than 300 functional modules, covering a full spectrum of scenarios from data infrastructure to upper-layer analytics applications. In 2025, its active paid clients base reached 230, with an outstanding customer retention rate of 90%. ARPU increased substantially from RMB 2.72 million in 2024 to RMB 5.59 million in 2025, representing a year-on-year growth of over 103%.As algorithms become increasingly open-source and computing power tends toward standardization, what truly sets companies apart lies in data — particularly industry data that has undergone sophisticated governance and can effectively empower large models. Backed by a decade of deep industry expertise, Xunce Technology has established a substantial and sustainable competitive barrier in this domain.ConclusionFrom an early-stage private equity tool provider to a cross-industry AI data infrastructure builder, and from a module supplier to a Token-priced core platform, Xunce Technology has remained committed to unlocking data as a scarce, strategic resource that is freely circulable, readily callable and empowered to drive high-quality decision-making.Amid the rapid emergence of new intelligent economic paradigms, the Company stands at the threshold of a fundamental structural revaluation, with the potential to enter the RMB 100-billion market cap camp. It is a competitor to none, but an indispensable partner to all. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire. All rights reserved. www.acnnewswire.com

This geographic market accounted for approximately 6.7% of the Group’s total revenue. The increase in revenue from Other markets was primarily driven by the revenue contribution from the newly acquired Hexa Ceram.Future Prospects and StrategiesThe 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 capitalize 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 record 2025 performance, the Group is well placed to sustain momentum and further strengthen its market leadership.Digitalization 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 35–40% 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 delivered superior customer experiences. These initiatives create high entry barriers and will continue to drive margin expansion and market share gains in the coming years.Following the successful integration of Hexa Ceram (Thailand’s largest dental laboratory, acquired in January 2025) and Digital Sleep Design (Proprietary nylon oral appliance to treat obstructive sleep apnea), our Southeast Asian presence and specialized capabilities have been significantly strengthened. This expansion, coupled with our diversified supply bases in the US, China, Vietnam, and Thailand, provides enhanced flexibility to address potential trade and geopolitical risks while supporting faster regional delivery.Looking ahead, the Group remains committed to reinforcing its worldwide leading position through a multi-dimensional approach.

SINGAPORE, Mar 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Choosing where to place your savings in Singapore is an important financial decision that requires careful consideration. With many banks offering different types of accounts, it is easy to get confused. However, picking the right one is the first step to reaching your financial goals, whether you are saving for a dream wedding, a new home, or a retirement fund.The good news is that you no longer need to spend a whole afternoon waiting at a bank branch. You can now open a bank account online in just a few minutes using your phone or computer. Here is a simple guide to help you choose the best account for your needs in 2026.Identify Your Financial HabitsBefore focusing on interest rates, consider how you manage your money on a daily basis. Savings accounts in Singapore usually fall into two categories:The Active Saver: These accounts give you high interest rates, but you have to make a few mandatory transactions each month. Usually, you need to credit your salary and spend a set amount on your credit card.The Passive Saver: These accounts help you earn bonus interest just for keeping your money in the account and letting it grow. You do not need to worry about credit card spending or paying bills.Compare Interest RatesBefore opening a bank account online, make sure you compare the interest rates. Many basic accounts offer low interest rates. To make your money grow, you should look for bonus interest.For example, a high-interest account can offer between 2% and 5% depending on the rules you follow. If you have SGD 50,000, the difference between a basic account and a high-interest one could be hundreds of dollars in extra cash every year. Always check the effective interest rate, which tells you the real amount you will earn after all the levels are counted.Look for Welcome PromotionsBanks in Singapore are always competing for your business. When you open a bank account online, you can often grab a welcome gift, such as cash credits or rewards. These promotions are a great way to get a head start on your savings. Just make sure to check the dates, as many of these flash deals only last for a few months.Check the Fees and MinimumsEven a great account can lose you money if you are not careful about fees. Before you sign up, check for these three things:Minimum balance: Most accounts require maintaining a certain amount of money in the account at all times. If the balance drops below this limit, the bank may charge you a monthly fee.Initial deposit: Some accounts require at least SGD 1,000 to get started.ATM access: Make sure the bank has plenty of ATMs near your home or office so you do not get charged for using the machine of another bank.Open an Account OnlineOnce you have picked the right account, the final step is to fill out your application. In Singapore, you can use Singpass MyInfo to fill out your application automatically.When you open a bank account online, your details, such as your NRIC, address, and income, are pulled directly from the government database, thus reducing paperwork. Most accounts are approved almost instantly, and you can start using your new digital card right away.Final ThoughtsChoosing a savings account is not just about finding the highest interest rate. It is about finding the one that fits how you live. If you are a busy professional who already uses a credit card, an active account is perfect. If you just want to set your money aside and forget it, a passive account is better.By taking 10 minutes to compare your options today, you can ensure that every dollar you earn works as hard as you do.Disclaimer: This article is for general information only and does not have any regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any specific person.

During the Reporting Period, the commercialization of HuaTangNing (dorzagliatin tablets), the Company’s core product – the global first-in-class innovative anti-diabetes medicine, glucokinase activator (GKA) – advanced comprehensively across all fronts, the Company’s independent commercialization team was efficiently and seamlessly established in its first year of operations, the Company’s R&D pipeline continued to be enriched, and the Company’s financial performance achieved a historic breakthrough, successfully entering a new stage of profitability, injecting strong momentum into the innovative development of the global diabetes treatment field.Dr. Li CHEN, Founder and CEO of Hua Medicine, stated: “2025 is a remarkable year in the commercialization operation of Hua Medicine. The Company has successfully advanced from R&D to commercialization driven organization and achieved the fully independent capacity in commercialization of global first in class novel glucose homeostasis regulator HuaTangNing. With strong market execution and product competitiveness, we have achieved nearly triple-digit growth in sales volume and revenue over 2024 when the commercialization was farmed out to sales and marketing partners. At the same time, the Company has made key progress in global market expansion through registration of drozagliatin in Hong Kong and position it toward 700 M population in south-east Asia. We continue to expand the clinical application of glucose homeostasis regulation technology and engage in new indications such as early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and Frailty. The first-in-disease efforts in GCK-MODY and Frailty set the new innovation course of Hua Medicine in the next 5 years.” Business Highlights and Operational Progress- Fully Powered Commercialization, Historic Breakthrough in ProfitabilityOn January 1, 2025, the Company assumed full responsibility for the commercialization of HuaTangNing, allowing the company to consolidate both operational and strategic control over market execution in China. The Company successfully built a professional sales team covering 10 sales regions around the country, focusing on marketing, medical affairs and commercial operation. Through an AI-empowered digital commercialization platform, operational efficiency and sales productivity were greatly enhanced, injecting new vitality into the Company’s commercial development.Reimbursement coverage under the NRDL has significantly increased accessibility, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 hospitals, and played a critical role in accelerating patient adoption. Since its launch in October 2022, HuaTangNing has been prescribed to over 500,000 patients through 3,000+ hospitals, community centers, pharmacies and online channels.Sales performance exceeded expectations, with 4.011 million packs of HuaTangNing sold during the reporting period, representing a 91% increase over the fiscal year 2024. This growth was achieved at the same price for both periods, underscoring strong demand and successful execution of Hua’s commercial strategy.In terms of profitability, the Company’s gross profit reached approximately RMB280.4 million, a year-on-year increase of 125%. Thanks to expanded production scale and optimized manufacturing processes, the Company’s gross margin improved to 56.9%, increasing by 8.2 percentage points as compared to 48.7% for the year of 2024. Selling expenses increased only by RMB12.3 million to RMB165.5 million, reflecting a significant positive trend towards profitability when our selling expenses in the 2025 fiscal year represents only 33.6% of revenue, whereas in the 2024 fiscal year, our selling expenses represented approximately 59.9% of revenue. In fiscal year 2025, our commercialization efforts achieved profits of approximately RMB114.9 million (as defined by gross profits less selling expenses). Although we expect to continue to increase personnel to our commercialization team, we expect this profitability trend in our commercial operations in mainland China to continue.Following the termination of the collaboration with Bayer at the end of 2024, dorzagliatin achieved a record-high sales volume. Profit before tax increased to RMB1,106.4 million for the fiscal year 2025. We ended fiscal year 2025 with a cash position of approximately RMB1,092.3 million.- Accelerated Global Layout, Strengthened Core Rights and InterestsThe Company took a key step in global expansion. On February 27, 2026, dorzagliatin (trade name: MYHOMSIS®, was successfully approved for marketing by the Hong Kong regulatory authority. The Company plans to officially launch the product in the Hong Kong market by the middle of 2026 and further expand to Asian regions. In addition, the Company submitted a new drug registration application in Macau in 2025.The Company also made new progress in intellectual property protection. In February 2026, the patent term extension (PTE) application for dorzagliatin was formally approved by the China National Intellectual Property Administration, thereby the core patent protection period of dorzagliatin extended to April 2034 and an additional 5-year market exclusivity obtained, which provides a strong guarantee for the product’s long-term market competition.In 2025, dorzagliatin was recognized as national innovation and an effective therapy for chronic diseases by the regulatory authorities in China. Accordingly, the same NRDL price was offered for the calendar years 2026 and 2027. Reimbursement coverage under the NRDL has significantly increased accessibility, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 hospitals, and played a critical role in accelerating patient adoption. The Company will continue to safeguard the product’s market competitiveness and patient accessibility and accelerate the popularization of the drug among patients.- Advancement of Real-World Studies, Continuous Validation of Clinical ValueReal-world evidence (RWE) studies continue to corroborate the key role of dorzagliatin in improving glucose-dependent pancreatic islet secretion function, and demonstrate its efficacy in diabetes prevention, remission, and delaying or preventing diabetes complications.The RWE study sponsored by Hua Medicine HMM0701 with 380 T2D patients was fully enrolled in 2025. The interim analysis, as reported at the 2025 American Diabetes Association (ADA), showed that 86% of such patients were taking two or more antidiabetic drugs and 41% of such patients were using insulin. After a 6-month treatment, a significant improvement of glycemic control was observed with HbA1c reduction from 8.1% to 7.3% with the mean time-in-range (TIR) levels increasing to over 70%. Thus far, the studies have demonstrated that when dorzagliatin is administered in combination with other antidiabetic drugs, such patients have experienced significantly improved post-meal glucose levels and improved β-cell function.Separately, a mechanistic study with dorzagliatin (employing double-tracer measurement) was conducted in the United States to provide scientific evidence of hepatic glycogen formation in T2D patients with an average of 17 years of diagnosed diabetes. In this study, patients were treated with dorzagliatin twice daily for 6 weeks. The results showed that dorzagliatin increased direct glucose flux to hepatic glycogen implying the improvement of restoration of hepatic Glucokinase (GK) function. Together with the clinical research data that dorzagliatin improves early phase insulin release and GLP-1 secretion, recovery of hepatic glycogen synthesis in T2D patients offers an important path in controlling post-meal glucose excursion and provides a unique opportunity in controlling diabetes complications, such as diabetes kidney diseases and mild cognition impairment.The RWE sponsored by Hua Medicine (HMM0601) has completed clinical trials with over 2,000 subjects, with average diabetes duration of 7.9 years and above 30% having disease duration more than 10 years. The initial results suggest that dorzagliatin is safe and well tolerated in Chinese T2DM patients. There were no new adverse effects observed in the study and the incident rate remains as low as what was observed in Phase III clinical trials. Patient adherence was generally high, with a mean adherence rate of approximately 95%. In this study, 80% of the participants have used one or more oral anti-diabetes medicine, and 20% used insulin. Dorzagliatin demonstrated good efficacy and safety not only in the overall population but also in elderly, obese, and hyperglycemic patient populations, whether used as monotherapy or in combination with metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, insulin, and other medications. The topline results will be reported at the 2026 American Diabetes Association.- Deepened Clinical R&D, Continuous Expansion of New IndicationsNew Indication for Dorzagliatin – MODY-2 Patients.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 insulin secretion. 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 that currently available medications are not effective. In clinical studies with MODY-2 patients, China investigators have reported that dorzagliatin is effective in reducing blood glucose levels to normal levels in MODY-2 patients who previously failed to manage their elevated blood glucose levels when treated with metformin, TZD, DPP-IV inhibitors, and SGLT-2 inhibitors. Additional results demonstrated that 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 GLP-1 secretion. Based on such results, Hua Medicine has communicated and reached a consensus with the CDE at NMPA to file the IND submission of dorzagliatin for MODY-2 patients in 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 SENSITIZE 3 clinical study in Hong Kong in pre-diabetic (IGT) subjects and in early diabetes patients. 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 IVGTT and OGTT conditions to better define the clinical treatment baseline and endpoints. We expect to complete this study in 2026 and explore the opportunity to file IND applications of dorzagliatin for diabetes prevention in China and Asian Pacific regions thereafter. Dorzagliatin for Neurodegenerative Diseases.MCI shows approximately 15.5% prevalence among elderly people in China and approximately 22% in the US, and is common in T2D patients with a 45% incidence rate. The 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 the 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. The bio-energy balance in the brain is largely dependent on the glucose homeostasis control in the peripheral organ and the neural network communication in the central and peripheral system via spatial temporal management. 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 mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and will initiate these first-in-disease clinical studies in the future.Dorzagliatin for Frailty.Frailty is an age-related geriatric syndrome characterized by reduced tolerance to internal and external stressors. Approximately 17% of Americans and 11% of Asians over the age of 50 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 supports the causal effects of glucokinase (GK) activation on lowering frailty risk. We plan to initiate clinical studies in the future to advance dorzagliatin’s application in frailty.Development of combination therapy for diabetes and complications.Dorzagliatin rescues pancreatic function in glucose insulin secretion and GLP-1 secretion, as evidenced by clinical and basic research results. It also improves hepatic insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic insulin resistance through recovery of hepatic glycogen synthesis in T2D patients. The combination of dorzagliatin with DPP-IV inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and GLP-1 agonists have demonstrated effective regulation of lipid metabolism. Studies in combination with anticancer PI3K inhibitors have also offered unique benefits for glucose homeostasis management.- Diversified Product Pipeline, Innovative Layout for Future GrowthHua Medicine continues to enrich its pipeline layout based on core products. The Company has accelerated the R&D of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of dorzagliatin and metformin as a twice-daily therapy for Type 2 diabetes patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin alone, to further improve patient medication compliance. The product is supported by the strong results of the loose-dose combination in both Phase III clinical trials and real-world use. The Company has submitted an IND application to NMPA, and the GMP commercial manufacturing process has been successfully carried out, preparing for the pivotal bioequivalence study for NDA filing in 2027. Clinical studies have shown that the combination of dorzagliatin and metformin can better control blood glucose, reduce postprandial blood glucose and improve fasting blood glucose, providing new clinical value for optimizing blood glucose homeostasis endpoints.We have advanced our 2nd generation GKA as a once daily therapy for patients with obesity, leveraging dorzagliatin effects in improved glucose-stimulated GLP-1 secretion in the pancreas and in the intestine. The MAD study of the 2nd generation GKA was initiated in the United States with first-patient-in in December 2025, and we expect to report topline data by the middle of 2026.Meanwhile, the Company is also exploring combination therapy regimens of dorzagliatin with GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT-2 inhibitors and other drugs. In a recently published clinical trial in China, researchers reported the superior benefits of our dorzagliatin in combination with semaglutide as compared to semaglutide alone in a 12-week study. The combination group showed superior results across several key measures, including glycemic control, bodyweight related indicators and β-cell function.Financial Summary- Revenue generated by the Company was approximately RMB 492.9 million from the sale of approximately 4.011 million packs of HuaTangNing, increases of approximately 93% and 91% respectively, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024.- Gross profit generated by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, was approximately RMB280.4 million, representing an increase of approximately 125%, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024, and gross margins rose to 56.9%.- Profit before tax increased by approximately 542% to approximately RMB1,106.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024.- Bank balances and cash position was approximately RMB1,092.3 million as of December 31, 2025.- Expenditures incurred by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, were approximately RMB433.4 million.Forward-Looking StatementsThis document contains statements regarding Hua Medicine's and its products' future expectations, plans and prospects.

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.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.
