Updates on Strategic Acquisition of Lotus UK & Suspension of the First and Third Financial Report in 2026
Lotus Tech is preparing for and steadily advancing the strategic acquisition of Lotus UK, which is expected to be closed in 2026. The acquisition will enable Lotus Tech and Lotus UK to operate under the One Lotus strategy, maintain a consistent global identity as a high-performance luxury brand, strengthen worldwide recognition, and maximize the heritage of the brand.
Because the transaction is expected to constitute an acquisition under common control, Lotus Tech is working closely with Lotus UK to conduct comprehensive preparations across regulatory filings, SOX compliance, operational system alignment and financial reporting, aiming to ensure a seamless post-acquisition transition. Meanwhile, the Company continues to refine the integration plan to fully capture synergies across R&D, supply chain, administration, etc., driving cost optimization and operational efficiency. These efforts are aligned with the Lotus Focus 2030 strategy, which underpins a transformation toward greater flexibility and sustainability, and strengthens overall competitiveness and market resilience against external headwinds.
In order to prioritize resources for the strategic acquisition of Lotus UK, Lotus Tech is temporarily suspending the release of financial results for the first and third quarters of 2026. Lotus Tech will continue to report its financial results for the first half and full fiscal year of 2026.

Dr. Daxue Wang, Chief Finance Officer of Lotus Tech, said, "Pending the closing of the transaction we are suspending earnings release for Q1 and Q3 of 2026. We are seeing great momentum in the luxury EV strategy and continue to be laser focused on delivering on our growth strategy. The temporary adjustment to our 2026 reporting schedule enables our teams to prioritize the successful execution of the Lotus UK acquisition and integration process. We believe this is an important step in strengthening our global platform and supporting sustainable long-term growth.”
Lotus Tech reaffirms its unwavering commitment to maintaining a high level of transparency for investors and stakeholders and will continue to comply with all applicable U.S. securities laws and Nasdaq listing requirements. This adjustment does not impact the Company’s underlying business operations or financial fundamentals. At the same time, Lotus Tech continues to see encouraging operational momentum across key markets – the recent entry into Canada marks an important step in expanding its North American footprint, reflecting growing demand for premium electric vehicles and a progressively supportive trade and regulatory environment. Building on its global product pipeline and strategic initiatives under Focus 2030, the Company remains confident in its ability to deliver sustained growth and strengthen its financial performance over the long term.
