SHANGHAI, China, Mar. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Hesai Group (“Hesai” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HSAI; HKEX: 2525), the global leader in three-dimensional light detection and ranging (lidar) solutions, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Management Remarks

“2025 was a landmark year as Hesai became the first lidar company to achieve full-year GAAP profitability, while also ranking No.1 in 2025 with over 40% share of the long-range automotive lidar market, according to Gasgoo.” said Dr. Yifan “David” Li, Hesai’s Co-Founder and CEO. “As lidar emerges as the ‘invisible airbag’ for ADAS safety, we have secured design wins with all top ten Chinese OEMs, expanded into the sub-RMB100,000 mass market, captured the multi-lidar L3 inflection point, and accelerated global expansion through partnerships with NVIDIA and others. These milestones are structurally increasing lidar content per vehicle and broadening our total addressable market. Beyond automotive, substantial opportunities are also opening up, where Hesai ranked No.1 across major robotics submarkets, such as humanoid and quadruped robots, robotaxis, robovans, and robotic lawn mowers, according to GGII, Yole Group, and Frost & Sullivan. To fully capitalize on the surging demand across both ADAS and Robotics, we are scaling our annual production capacity to over 4 million units in 2026.”

Dr. Li continued, “As the AI-driven Fourth Industrial Revolution accelerates, Hesai is positioning to become the key enabler of Physical AI – digitizing the real world, redefining how humans and robotics perceive and act. Over the coming months, we will launch new flagship products, each targeting an addressable market worth trillions of RMB, bringing this vision to life and laying the groundwork for our next decade of growth.”

“2025 marked a significant milestone for us in both the scale and quality of our financial performance,” said Mr. Andrew Fan, Hesai’s CFO. “We delivered record net revenues of over RMB3 billion (US$433 million), up 46% year-over-year, while tripling total shipments to over 1.6 million units. Importantly, we also achieved industry-first full-year GAAP net income of RMB436 million (US$62 million) and non-GAAP net income^2^ of RMB551 million (US$79 million) in 2025, driven by robust revenue growth, disciplined cost management, and improved operating leverage through AI-enabled efficiency gains across R&D, manufacturing, and operations. We have also delivered GAAP net income for three consecutive quarters and non-GAAP net income for five consecutive quarters. Alongside this, we also recorded three consecutive years of positive operating cash flow, while our net assets grew to around RMB9 billion (US$1.3 billion).”

Mr. Fan added, “2026 marks a bold new chapter for Hesai. We are raising our outlook for lidar shipments to 3 to 3.5 million units, and will soon launch breakthrough new products that unlock future opportunities, and further advance our vision to empower robotics and elevate lives.”

Use of Non-GAAPFinancial Measures

To supplement Hesai’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Hesai uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: income/loss from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses, net profit/loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, net profit/loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation, and per ordinary share net income/loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this release.

Hesai believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based compensation expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. Hesai believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Hesai’s historical performance and liquidity. Hesai believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP financial measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“2025 was a landmark year as Hesai became the first lidar company to achieve full-year GAAP profitability, while also ranking No.1 in 2025 with over 40% share of the long-range automotive lidar market, according to Gasgoo.” said Dr. Yifan “David” Li, Hesai’s Co-Founder and CEO. “As lidar emerges as the ‘invisible airbag’ for ADAS safety, we have secured design wins with all top ten Chinese OEMs, expanded into the sub-RMB100,000 mass market, captured the multi-lidar L3 inflection point, and accelerated global expansion through partnerships with NVIDIA and others. These milestones are structurally increasing lidar content per vehicle and broadening our total addressable market. Beyond automotive, substantial opportunities are also opening up, where Hesai ranked No.1 across major robotics submarkets, such as humanoid and quadruped robots, robotaxis, robovans, and robotic lawn mowers, according to GGII, Yole Group, and Frost & Sullivan. To fully capitalize on the surging demand across both ADAS and Robotics, we are scaling our annual production capacity to over 4 million units in 2026.”

^1^ All<br> translations from RMB to USD for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 were made at the<br> exchange rate of RMB6.9931 to US$1.00, the exchange rate on December 31, 2025, set forth<br> in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board.

Dr. Li continued, “As the AI-driven Fourth Industrial Revolution accelerates, Hesai is positioning to become the key enabler of Physical AI – digitizing the real world, redefining how humans and robotics perceive and act. Over the coming months, we will launch new flagship products, each targeting an addressable market worth trillions of RMB, bringing this vision to life and laying the groundwork for our next decade of growth.”

“2025 marked a significant milestone for us in both the scale and quality of our financial performance,” said Mr. Andrew Fan, Hesai’s CFO. “We delivered record net revenues of over RMB3 billion (US$433 million), up 46% year-over-year, while tripling total shipments to over 1.6 million units. Importantly, we also achieved industry-first full-year GAAP net income of RMB436 million (US$62 million) and non-GAAP net income of RMB551 million (US$79 million) in 2025, driven by robust revenue growth, disciplined cost management, and improved operating leverage through AI-enabled efficiency gains across R&D, manufacturing, and operations. We have also delivered GAAP net income for three consecutive quarters and non-GAAP net income for five consecutive quarters. Alongside this, we recorded three consecutive years of positive operating cash flow, while our net assets grew to around RMB9 billion (US$1.3 billion).”

Mr. Fan added, “2026 marks a bold new chapter for Hesai. We are raising our outlook for lidar shipments to 3 to 3.5 million units, and will soon launch breakthrough new products that unlock future opportunities, and further advance our vision to empower robotics and elevate lives.”

UNAUDITED FINANCIALRESULTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

Net revenueswere RMB3,027.6 million (US$432.9 million) for the full year of 2025, representing an increase of 45.8% from RMB2,077.2 million for the prior year. Product revenues were RMB2,982.9 million (US$426.6 million) for the full year of 2025, representing an increase of 51.7% from RMB1,966.3 million for the prior year. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to increased revenues from sales of both ADAS and Robotics lidar products due to robust demand, both in China and globally. Service revenues were RMB44.6 million (US$6.4 million) for the full year of 2025, representing a decrease of 59.8% from RMB110.8 million for the prior year. The year-over-year decrease was driven by lower revenues from non-recurring engineering services.

Cost of revenueswas RMB1,762.5 million (US$252.0 million) for the full year of 2025, representing an increase of 47.8% from RMB1,192.6 million for the prior year.

Gross marginwas 41.8% for the full year of 2025, compared with 42.6% for the prior year. The year-over-year decrease was due to a decrease in revenues from high-margin non-recurring engineering services, and a higher revenue contribution from ADAS lidars, which typically carry a lower gross margin than Robotics lidars, partially offset by effective cost and scale optimization on both ADAS and Robotics lidars.

Sales and marketingexpenses were RMB192.0 million (US$27.5 million) for the full year of 2025, representing a decrease of 0.5% from RMB193.0 million for the prior year. The decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in marketing expenses of RMB5.4 million (US$0.8 million).

General andadministrative expenses were RMB288.8 million (US$41.3 million) for the full year of 2025, representing a decrease of 8.9% from RMB316.9 million for the prior year. The decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in professional service fees of RMB40.5 million (US$5.8 million).

Research anddevelopment expenses were RMB796.9 million (US$114.0 million) for the full year of 2025, representing a decrease of 6.9% from RMB855.6 million for the prior year. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease in payroll expenses of RMB32.8 million (US$4.7 million) and a decrease in material expenses of RMB17.2 million (US$2.5 million). The payroll savings were mainly driven by the broader adoption of AI tools within our R&D team.

Income fromoperations was RMB168.8 million (US$24.1 million) for the full year of 2025, compared with loss from operations of RMB204.9 million for the prior year. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP income from operations was RMB283.4 million (US$40.5 million) for the full year of 2025, compared with non-GAAP loss from operations of RMB88.8 million for the prior year.

Other incomewas RMB184.6 million (US$26.4 million) for the full year of 2025, compared with other loss of RMB2.5 million for the prior year. The other income was mainly derived from a gain on disposal of an equity investment in an early-stage tech company.

Net income was RMB435.9 million (US$62.3 million) for the full year of 2025, compared with net loss of RMB102.4 million for the prior year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSIS

Liquidity andCapital Resources

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we funded our cash requirements principally through IPO financing and cash generated from our operations. We had cash reserve of RMB7,511.0 million and RMB3,204.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB117.0 million in 2025, compared with RMB63.5 million in 2024.

SignificantInvestments

In April 2025, we, through a partnership, indirectly subscribed approximately 10% equity interest in an early-stage technological company (the “Investee”), an associate of Founding Shareholders of the Group, for a cash consideration of US$13.9 million, equivalent to approximately RMB100 million. In August 2025, we, through a partnership, indirectly disposed its entire equity interest in the Investee to two independent third-party investors for a cash consideration of US$38.4 million, equivalent to RMB275 million. The gain on the indirect disposal of the Investee after deduction of the related taxes and expenses would be approximately US$20.7 million, equivalent to RMB148 million. As of December 31, 2025, our short-term and long-term investments were comprised almost entirely of structured bank financial products and time deposits.

^4^ Cash<br> reserve represents cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and<br> long-term time deposits.

Material Acquisitions and Disposals

The Group did not have any material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, consolidated affiliated subsidiaries, associated companies or joint ventures during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Pledge of Assets

As at December 31, 2025, land-use rights and constructions with a total book value of RMB362 million were pledged to secure banking facilities.

Future Plans for Material Investmentsor Capital Assets

The Group did not have detailed future plans for material investments or capital assets as at December 31, 2025.

Gearing Ratio

As at December 31, 2025, the Company’s gearing ratio (i.e., total liabilities divided by total assets, in percentage) was 20.4% (as at December 31, 2024: 34.4%).

Foreign Exchange Exposure

Our expenditures are mainly denominated in Renminbi and, therefore, we are primarily exposed to risks related to movements between Renminbi and U.S. dollars. Our exposure to

U.S. dollars exchange rate fluctuation arises from the Renminbi-denominated cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits and short-term investments and long-term financial instruments held by us and our subsidiaries whose functional currency is U.S. dollars, and the

U.S. dollar-denominated cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits and short-term investments and long-term financial instruments held by our subsidiaries whose functional currency is Renminbi.

To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of Renminbi against U.S. dollars would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments to suppliers or for dividends on the class B ordinary shares of the Company (the “Class B OrdinaryShares”) or American depositary shares of the Company (the “ADSs”) or for other business purposes, appreciation of U.S. dollars against Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amounts available to us.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest income generated by excess cash, which is mostly held in interest-bearing bank deposits and wealth management products. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rates, and we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure.

7

From time to time, we may invest the net proceeds that we receive from our overseas offerings in interest-earning instruments. Investments in both fixed-rate and floating rate interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed-rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall.

Contingent Liabilities

The Company had no material contingent liabilities as at December 31, 2025.

Capital Commitment

As of December 31, 2025, capital commitment of the Company was RMB38.4 million, compared with RMB132.9 million as at December 31, 2024, primarily attributable to commitments of manufacturing facilities and investment.

Employees and Remuneration

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had a total of 1,118 employees.

As required by the PRC laws and regulations, we participate in various employee social security schemes organized by municipal and provincial governments, including pension, maternity insurance, unemployment insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance and housing provident fund. We are required under PRC laws and regulations to make contributions to employee social security schemes at specified percentages of the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of our employees, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time. We also purchase commercial health and accidental insurance for our employees.

Bonuses are generally discretionary and based in part on employee performance and in part on the overall performance of the Group’s business. The Company has granted and plans to continue to grant share-based incentive awards to its employees in the future to incentivize their contributions to its growth and development.

We regularly provide training programs to our employees of different departments. Such training programs include technical and engineering trainings as well as general career development. To attract top talents and cultivate a culture of collaboration, we also invested in mentorship programs that are open to employees of all levels.

Compliance with Corporate GovernanceCode

As the Class B Ordinary Shares were only listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Stock Exchange”) on September 16, 2025 (the “Listing Date”), during the period from the Listing Date to the date of this announcement, we have complied with all of the applicable code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code^5^ (the “Corporate Governance Code”) set forth in Appendix C1 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ListingRules”), save for the following.

^^

^5^ The<br> amendments to the Corporate Governance Code effective on 1 July 2025 will apply to corporate<br> governance reports and annual reports for financial years commencing on or after 1 July 2025.<br> For this announcement, the Company shall refer to the then effective Corporate Governance<br> Code.
8

Pursuant to Code Provision C.2.1 of the Corporate Governance Code, companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are expected to comply with, but may choose to deviate from the requirement that the responsibilities between the chairperson and the chief executive officer should be segregated and should not be performed by the same individual. We do not have a separate chairman of the Board and chief executive officer and Dr. Yifan Li (“Dr. Li”) currently performs these two roles. The Board believes that, in view of Dr. Li’s experience, personal profile and his roles in our Company, Dr. Li is the Director best suited to identify strategic opportunities and focus on the Board due to his extensive understanding of our business as our chief executive officer. The Board also believes that the combined roles of both chairperson and chief executive officer has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within the Group and can promote the effective execution of strategic initiatives and facilitate the flow of information between management and the Board. The Board will continue to review and consider splitting the roles of chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company if and when it is appropriate taking into account the circumstances of the Group as a whole.

The Board considers that the balance of power and authority will not be impaired due to this arrangement. In addition, all major decisions are made in consultation with members of the Board, including the relevant Board committees, and the independent non-executive Directors. The Board will reassess the division of the roles of chairperson and the chief executive officer from time to time, and may recommend dividing the two roles between different people in the future, taking into account the circumstances of the Group as a whole. The Company will continue to regularly review and monitor its corporate governance practices to ensure compliance with the Corporate Governance Code, and maintain a high standard of corporate governance practices of the Company.

Compliance withthe Code for Securities Transactions by Directors

The Company has adopted a code of conduct regarding directors’ securities transactions (the “Code”) on terms no less exacting that the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers (the “Model Code”) as set out in Appendix C3 to the Listing Rules, as its own securities dealing code to regulate all dealings by Directors and relevant employees of securities in the Company and other matters covered by the Model Code.

Specific enquiry has been made of all the Directors and relevant employees, and they have confirmed that they have complied with the Model Code during the period from the Listing Date to the date of this announcement.

Important Eventsafter the Reporting Period

By a special resolution passed at the extraordinary general meeting and class meetings of the Company held on March 3, 2026, the Company had, among others, adopted of its third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, approved the re-designation of 50,000,000 authorized but unissued and un-designated shares (as defined under the Listing Rules) into Class B Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis, and granted a general mandate to the Directors to issue/repurchase shares and/or ADSs. For details, please refer to the circular and poll results announcement of the Company dated January 26, 2026 and March 3, 2026 respectively, and the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company.

Save as disclosed above and in this announcement, no other important events affecting the Group occurred since December 31, 2025 and up to the date of this announcement.

BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board delegates certain responsibilities to various committees and has formed three Board committees, namely the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the unaudited annual results of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 and has met with the independent auditor of the Company, Messrs. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. The Audit Committee has also discussed matters with respect to the accounting policies and practices adopted by the Company and internal control and financial reporting matters with senior management members of the Company.

Scope of Work of Deloitte ToucheTohmatsu

The work performed by Messrs. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in this respect did not constitute an assurance engagement and consequently no opinion or assurance conclusion has been expressed by Messrs. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu on this announcement.

Saved as disclosed above, the Company was not involved in any other material litigation or arbitration during the year ended December 31, 2025, and the Directors are not aware of any material litigations or claims that are pending or threatened against the Group since the Listing Date and up to the date of this announcement.

Dividend

The Board did not recommend the distribution of an annual dividend for the year ended December 31, 2025. (for the year ended December 31, 2024: nil).

Publication of Annual Results andAnnual Report

This announcement is published on the website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk and on the website of the Company at investor.hesaitech.com. The 2025 annual report of the Company containing all the information required by the Listing Rules will be dispatched to the shareholders (if applicable) and will be made available on the websites of the Company and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in due course.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Hesai’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Hesai uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: income/loss from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses, net profit/loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, net profit/loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation, and per ordinary share net income/loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth in this announcement.

Hesai believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based compensation expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. Hesai believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Hesai’s historical performance and liquidity. Hesai believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP financial measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSEDCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Description of Businessand Corporate History

Hesai Group (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on April 21, 2021. The Company, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) is primarily engaged in the development, manufacture and sales of 3-dimensional light detection and ranging solutions, or lidar.

History of the Group

The Group’s history began in October 2014 with the establishment of Shanghai Hesai Photonics Co., Ltd. (“Hesai Photonics”), a limited liability company established in the PRC by Dr. Kai Sun, Dr. Yifan Li and Mr. Shaoqing Xiang (collectively known as the “Founding Shareholders”). In August 2020, Hesai Photonics was converted by its then shareholders into a joint stock company under the PRC law and changed its name to Shanghai Hesai.

Initial Public Offering(“IPO”)

In February and March 2023, the Group, in connection with its IPO in the United States, issued 10,125,118 Class B ordinary shares with net proceeds of US$179,786 (equivalent to RMB1,225,470).

In September 2025, the Group listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a global offering of 22,482,500 Class B ordinary shares with net proceeds of HK$4,654,135 (equivalent to RMB4,249,946).

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation

The financial statements presented herein represents the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for annual financial information and the disclosure requirements of the Listing Rules, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Historical Financial Information in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial information and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Group’s management reviews these estimates based on information that is currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Group to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Historical Financial Information mainly includes the estimated project progress towards certain services revenue, warranty reserves, incremental borrowing rate of lease liabilities, inventory write-down, allowance for credit losses, the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets and land-use rights, and share-based compensation.

Functional currency andforeign currency translation

The Group uses Renminbi (“RMB”) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries located outside of PRC is US$, CHF, EUR and other currencies such as THB, while the functional currency of subsidiaries located in PRC is RMB.

Assets and liabilities are translated from each entity’s functional currency to the reporting currency at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Equity amounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year/period. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the entity’s applicable functional currencies are translated into the functional currencies at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the applicable functional currencies at historical exchange rates. Transactions in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies during the year/period are converted into the functional currencies at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. Transaction gains and losses are recognized as foreign exchange gain (loss), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

(Loss) earnings per share

Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to the holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. The Group had share options, which could potentially dilute basic earnings per ordinary share in the future. To calculate the number of shares for diluted earnings per ordinary share, the effect of the share options is computed using the treasury stock method.

Income taxes

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities.

Deferred income taxes are provided using the assets and liabilities method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the management consider all positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of projected future taxable income and results of recent operation. Deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance through a charge to income tax expense when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Group accounts for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of the benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained (based on the technical merits of the tax position), the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefits to recognize in the Historical Financial Information.

Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Group did not recognize any income tax due to uncertain tax position or incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025.
