NEWS RELEASE

HIGHWAY HOLDINGS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCALYEAR 2026 RESULTS

HONG KONG — December15^th^, 2025 — Highway Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: HIHO, the “Company” or “Highway Holdings”) today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 and the six months ended September 30, 2025.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $1.18 million compared to $2.11 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $373,000, or net loss of $0.08 per diluted share, compared with net income of $231,000, or net income of $0.05 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Roland Kohl, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Highway Holdings, noted, “The adverse pressure on our long-term OEM business continues, including a reorganization of one of our customer’s production plants which shifted a substantial part of our motor OEM business to that customer’s own motor manufacturing company in Czechia. We still maintain a smaller portion of this OEM customer’s motor business but the revenue contribution from this customer has been substantially reduced.”

“While this action will result in a substantial reduction of our previous motor OEM business, we are fortunate that at the same time, another OEM customer finally approved the mass production of its motor product. We are in the early ramp-up phase, which will cause a time period with lower motor sales, but this new motor business is expected to eventually compensate for the loss of the other customer’s motor business. Since all of the remaining motor manufacturing shall be performed in China, this will result in a workforce reduction in our Myanmar plant.”

“On the positive side, we recently also received a substantial order from our old gaming industry business customer. We are happy that this prior business was not lost and is coming back strongly. But we still expect a gap in time between the loss of the old business and the new, replacement business.”

“As an OEM supplier, our success remains fully dependent on the success of our customers, with failures having an outsized impact on our business. We continue to evaluate options to ease the dependent, captured situation we are faced with. We have looked at numerous German companies for the purpose of M&A only to discover during the due diligence process that their businesses were having the same or even worse problems, which would only serve to further burden our business. As a result, it has taken a much longer time to find a viable acquisition. We are, however, optimistic at this juncture that we have found a suitable target, which we are in the final stage of negotiation with. We believe there are many synergies with this company that will benefit both parties. At the same time, we continue to look actively for other types of business. For example, we started to look inside the China market. This is a longer-term effort, given we have previously focused only on manufacturing for export. We are presently in a testing phase determining how best to enter the Chinese market given our core manufacturing business. We are also evaluating a potential entirely new revenue stream – providing services for the Chinese market’s large and fast growing elderly population. As this would represent an entirely new business line, we are proceeding cautiously to test viability, while minimizing development costs. These new activities align with our long-term focus on reinvigorating revenue and profit growth, and building a more stable model that is not in a captive position. While these new activities will take time and burden in a limited way our existing business, we are confident we are moving in the right direction with the intention of moving the company into a stronger position over the coming year.”

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $301,000 compared with $834,000 in the year ago period mainly due to the 44% decrease in sales over the same period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was 25.5 percent, compared to 39.4 percent in the year ago period, primarily due to decreased sales. Gross profit for the first half of fiscal year 2026 was $828,000 compared with $1,495,000 in the year ago period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the first half of fiscal year 2026 was 30.4 percent compared with 37.4 percent in the year ago period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 slightly increased to $843,000 from $724,000.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 reflects a currency exchange gain of $11,000 compared to a $58,000 gain in the year ago. The Company reported a currency exchange gain of $15,000 for the first half of fiscal year 2026, compared with a $96,000 gain in the year ago period.

Interest income was approximately $54,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to approximately $97,000 for the first half of fiscal year 2026. The Company continues to benefit from the relatively high interest rates on fixed deposits despite the slight decrease in interest rates in the recent months. Upon review of its China tax position, the Company reversed a portion of its prior year’s income tax provision for a Chinese subsidiary.

The Company’s balance sheet remains strong, with total assets of $8.37 million and cash and cash equivalents in excess of $5.6 million, or approximately $1.21 per diluted share. The cash and cash equivalent amount exceeded all of its short- and long-term liabilities by approximately $3.2 million. Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2025, was $6.0 million, or $1.30 per diluted share.
