Our gross profit margin increased from 19.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to 21.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily attributable to (i) the increase in the selling prices of our smartphones in response to the rising memory chip prices and (ii) the cost of memory chips recognized during the period continued to reflect inventories procured at relatively lower prices in earlier periods, prior to the increase in market prices of memory chips.
The decrease in 2024 was primarily because we recorded negative gross margins for our newly launched dTOF LiDAR products and line laser sensor products, as these newly launched products were still in the ramp up phase and had not yet achieved optimal production efficiency.
Summary · p. 16
We expect our overall gross profit margin to continue to improve as our newly launched products further mature and achieve greater production efficiencies through economies of scale.

The gross profit margin of sales to online retailers decreased from 27.9% in 2023 to 22.2% in 2024, and subsequently increased to 23.0% in 2025, primarily reflecting changes in the product mix at one of our major online retailers in the Chinese mainland market, where fluctuations in the proportion of sales contributed by high-volume products with relatively lower margins affected overall profitability.
Business · p. 154
The gross profit margin of our online direct sales was higher than that of sales to online retailers during the Track Record Period, primarily due to differences in geographic mix and sales arrangements.

Although our gross profit margin from sales of chips decreased to 10.7% for the year ended December 31, 2025 and further to 4.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as our ASP reductions outpaced cost savings in that year/period, we maintained positive gross profit from sales of chips of RMB67.6 million and RMB17.0 million, respectively, amid material growth in chip shipment volumes.
Revenue from our in-vehicle communication solutions increased in 2024, primarily due to the ramp-up of mass production for 4G in-vehicle communication solutions, and decreased in 2025 mainly because the decrease in 4G in-vehicle communication solutions revenue more than offset the revenue contribution from the commercialization of 5G in-vehicle communication solutions.
Summary · p. 4
Gross profit of our in-vehicle communication solutions increased in 2024 in line with revenue growth, but decreased in 2025 mainly due to lower revenue from 4G products; its gross profit margin increased in 2024 due to improved operating leverage and decreased in 2025 primarily due to changes in product mix and cost structure.
Summary · p. 5
Gross profit of our sensing and domain control solutions decreased in 2025 despite revenue growth, and its gross profit margin declined as well, mainly because certain products remained at an earlier stage of commercialization and were affected by product mix, program timing and cost absorption.

During the Track Record Period, the gross margin for electronic and ceramic materials continued to decrease while its average selling price continued to increase, due to a shift in product mix toward higher-priced but also higher-cost items and the timing of cost pass-throughs.
Financial Information · p. 198
In addition, increases in key raw material costs and consumables were not fully reflected in customer pricing within the same period due to qualification and contract cycles, resulting in temporary pressure on gross margin.
Financial Information · p. 198
Average selling price and gross margin for electronic components was relatively low in 2023 as a result of product mix changes and weak industry demand during the year.
Partly as a response to our gross loss attributable to certain legacy inventory as detailed in “Financial Information — Our Gross Loss in 2024,” we began formalizing these arrangements by entering into standard distribution agreements with our distributors starting in 2025.
Business · p. 149
This arrangement is similar to the price concession we granted in connection with certain Legacy Inventory in 2023 and 2024.

Summary · p. 10
Despite an increase in our revenue throughout the Track Record Period, our adjusted net loss increased from 2024 to 2025, primarily attributable to (i) the decrease in gross profit margin for satellite-based solutions, which primarily reflected changes in the delivered solution mix, as approximately 50% of our gross profit from satellite-based solutions in that year was generated from certain projects involving standalone sales of standardized satellite data and application software, which typically carry relatively higher gross profit margins, and the contribution from such sales decreased in 2025, and (ii) the relatively higher net impairment loss on financial assets and contract assets recorded in 2025.
Summary · p. 9

During the Track Record Period, the gross profit margin of our direct sales was lower than that of sales through distributors primarily due to (i) the relatively low gross profit margin of the promotion services for Reminton (类停^®^); and (ii) the relatively low gross profit margin of drug substances of EPOSINO (依普定^®^) and WHITE-C (白特喜^®^) sold to overseas markets.
Business · p. 163
Although the VBP schemes have resulted in lower average selling prices and narrower gross profit margins for the relevant products, our revenue relating to pharmaceutical products generated from domestic sales remained stable and our overall gross profit margin declined insignificantly, as we were able to increase sales volumes, enhance utilization of our manufacturing capacity and realize economies of scale, which helped offset the impact on our financial performance.
Our overall gross profit margin was 8.1%, 7.7% and 7.4% in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Financial Information · p. 163

Financial Information · p. 164
Our overall gross profit margin normalized from 46.1% in 2024 to 27.7% in 2025, primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margin of chip design from 40.8% in 2024 to 16.0% in 2025, partially offset by an increase in gross profit margin of chip delivery from 18.8% in 2024 to 27.6% in 2025.
Our overall gross profit and gross profit margin decreased in 2024, primarily due to (i) increased domestic to-C online literature business (online reading through mini programs) that had a relatively lower gross profit margin, due to intense competition in the domestic market and (ii) loss of gross profit from Crazy Maple Studio following its deconsolidation which had overseas online literature business with a higher profit margin.
