CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

FROM CONNECTIVITY TO INTELLIGENCE: USHERING IN ASIAINFO'S SECOND LEAP

INTRODUCTION

Dear Shareholders,

The year 2025 was marked by profound recalibrations in the industrial economy and the swift evolution of technological paradigms. Macroeconomic fluctuations prompted enterprise clients to become more prudent in their digitalisation investments, while the software industry found itself pressed from both sides grappling with a saturated market and rising costs. Telecommunication operators intensified their efforts to cut costs and enhance efficiency, triggering cyclical and structural adjustments in IT spending. The resulting contraction in investment posed formidable challenges to the Group's business growth and operational performance. Facing these pressures, the Group acted decisively to accelerate the expansion of emerging AI businesses and driving the deep integration of traditional operations with “AI+” technologies, thereby achieving strategic transformation and upgrading. At the same time, we fully leveraged AI tools to improve efficiency and refined management practices and optimised workforce structure to elevate efficiency, effectively improving the downward trend in performance. As a result, we achieved full-year profitability and realised a substantial improvement in operating cash flow, laying a solid financial foundation to propel our strategic transformation forward.

While assessing these challenges, we were acutely aware of the accelerating wave of technological and industrial transformation, epitomised by AI Initiatives such as Digital China, “AI+”, the construction of computing infrastructure, satellite internet, and 6G technology presented profound development opportunities, as the industry's approach to creating value was being reshaped, shifting from a tool-oriented framework to one defined by intelligence. Drawing on our thirty years of deep insight into complex systems and client pain points, we remained steadfast in delivering assured value to key clients amid the uncertainties of technological evolution.

Humanity is now standing at the threshold of a paradigm shift far more profound than the Industrial Revolution. We are irreversibly voyaging from the old continent of the "Internet of People" to the new continent of the "Internet of Agents". In 2026, the Group established "AI First" as its core strategy for the coming decade, articulating a mission to "Linking the Intelligent World, Safeguarding Digital Intelligence Interconnection" and a vision of "Making the Digital Intelligence Ecosystem Thrive", thereby charting a bold new blueprint for the "Internet of Agents". By redefining organisational boundaries and business systems to align with the productivity of the silicon-based era, the Group has built three major business segments: telecom core system, smart digital operation, and smart connectivity product business. At the same time, it deepened strategic collaboration with AsiaInfo Security, embedding internal security capabilities to reinforce the digital security foundation for the Era of the Internet of Agents.

The positions of our three core businesses and future development drivers are as follows:

  • Telecom Core System: As the premier partner of telecom operators in data asset management and business value delivery, this business forms the bedrock of the Group, continually stabilising scale, enhancing efficiency, and maintaining reasonable profitability and cash flow. Its future growth is primarily driven by three key forces. First, incremental capital expenditure/operational expenditure (CAPEX/OPEX) investments in computing power services unlock growth opportunities across computing power scheduling, multi-cloud management, computing power provenance, Internet of Agents, token-based billing for intelligent agents, transaction and settlement solutions, identity authentication services, and application operations. Second, Hong Kong serves as a strategic gateway to support the expansion of our international business for operators. Finally, cultivated relationships with China Tower, StarNet, Broadnet, and other next-generation operator clients open avenues to capture additional business growth.

  • Smart Digital Operation: Surrounding an “ecology” cooperation, we cultivate strong alliances with strategic partners such as Alibaba, Volcengine, Kimi, NVIDIA, and ABB. These collaborations establish us as the “go-to partner for the final stage of delivery” for foundational model providers. Our future growth is driven by three powerful forces. First, the explosive surge in token consumption, which accelerates our shift towards high-margin business models. By aligning with leading AI ecosystems and delivering vertical, scenario-driven intelligent agents, we seamlessly bridge the final stage of AI implementation. As token consumption of customers surges, we pivot towards high-margin growth, powered by token sharing and RaaS performance-based fees. Second, our deep integration with foundational model providers fosters synergies in key sectors like energy, retail, and manufacturing. Third, our collaboration with ABB in delivering Physical AI solutions for the industrial sector positions us to enhance our footprint in both the transformation and incremental deployment of industrial robotics.

Meanwhile, revenue from the smart connectivity product business stood at approximately RMB125 million, representing a year-on-year growth of 6.2%.

In response to pressures on revenue, the Group has strengthened its refined cost control through a series of initiatives. These encompass the improvement of operational efficiency through company-wide deployment of AI-enabled tools, the optimisation of workforce structure, the consolidation of centralised procurement, and the introduction of an integrated expense management platform. During the year, the Group recorded a net profit of approximately RMB104 million (2024: approximately RMB516 million). This figure includes a one-off severance compensation expense of approximately RMB169 million, incurred as part of the Group's proactive workforce optimisation initiative aimed at enhancing long-term operational efficiency and streamlining both its personnel and cost structure. Excluding the effect of this non-recurring item, the adjusted net profit for 2025 amounted to approximately RMB273 million.

Of particular significance, the Group's operating cash flow improved significantly, from a net outflow of approximately RMB104 million in 2024 to a net inflow of approximately RMB407 million in 2025. This reflects a marked improvement in the Group's cash collection performance and provides a robust foundation to support its ongoing strategic transformation.

The Board has consistently prioritised delivering returns to Shareholders. Taking into account the Group's future growth prospects, profitability, and cash flow position, the Board has resolved to recommend a final dividend of HK$0.054 per Share for 2025, representing a payout ratio of 40% of net profit.

The address of the registered office of the Company is Craigmuir Chambers, Road Town, Tortola, VG1110, British Virgin Islands.

The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of the Group are provision of software products and related services in the PRC.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in associates. The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the historical cost basis except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at their fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS Accounting Standards requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

3. CHANGES IN NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES EFFECTIVE DURING THE YEAR

The Group has applied the amendments to Hong Kong Accounting Standard 21 issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates — Lack of exchangeability, to these financial statements for the current accounting period. As the Group has not entered into any foreign currency transactions where the currency cannot be converted into another currency, these amendments have no material impact on these financial statements.

The Group has not applied any new or amended standard that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.

Disaggregation of revenue — Continued

Notes:

(i) The Group records contract liabilities when receiving consideration from customers prior to its provision of services or the amount is due. The transaction price allocated to performance obligations in relation to the non-refundable advance payments received that were unsatisfied amounted to RMB282,386,000 as at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: RMB294,475,000), representing the contract liabilities included in Note 12. As at 31 December 2025, the majority of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under the Group’s existing contracts are expected to be recognised as revenue in the next 12 months.

Contract liabilities would be recognised as revenue upon the rendering of services. Almost all of the contract liabilities at the beginning of the financial years 2025 and 2024 have been recognised as revenue during the respective years. The management expects substantially all of the amount allocated to the unsatisfied contracts as at 31 December 2025 will be recognised as revenue during the year ending 31 December 2026.

(ii) Other services represent revenue primarily generated from the provision of system integration services, etc.

Segment information

The Group makes resources allocation decisions based on internal management functions and assesses the Group’s business performance as one integrated business instead of by separate business lines or geographical regions. Accordingly, the Group has only one operating segment and therefore, no segment information is presented.

Geographical information

The Group’s operations are in the PRC. Substantially all revenue of the Group and non-current assets of the Group are generated from and located in the PRC.

Information about the Group’s revenue from external customers is presented based on the location of the signing parties of the sales or service contracts. During the years ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, substantially all the sales and service contracts were with signing parties located in the PRC.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE — CONTINUED

The calculations of basic earnings per share for the years ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 were based on the profit for the year attributable to the equity holders of the Company.

The calculation of the number of share for the purpose of basic earning per share had taken into account the share issued/transferred upon the exercise/vesting of share options/RSUs and purchase of share in respect of RSUs, where applicable.

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2025 did not assume the exercise of the share options under 2014 stock incentive plan (“2014 Plan”), certain share options under the Pre-IPO share option scheme of the Company (“Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme”) and certain share options under the share option scheme adopted on 25 November 2019 (“2019 Share Option Scheme”) since such share options had an anti-dilutive effect.

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2024 did not assume the exercise of the share options under 2014 Plan, the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme and the 2019 Share Option Scheme since such share options had an anti-dilutive effect.

10. GOODWILL — CONTINUED

The recoverable amount is determined by the management based on the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. The management engaged an external valuer to determine the recoverable amounts of the CGU.

Impairment testing on goodwill

The recoverable amount of the Group's CGU has been determined based on a value in use calculation and is assessed by the management with reference to valuations carried out by an independent professional valuer, which has appropriate qualifications and experience in valuation of similar testing.

Software business:

The calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management covering a five-year period, and at a pre-tax discount rate of 16.5% for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: 17.5%). Key assumptions for the value in use calculations relate to the estimation of cash inflows and/or outflows which include revenue growth rate and gross profit margin, with expected gross profit margin for five-year period floating up and down within 1% compared with that of the year. The cash flows of the CGU beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a 2.0% growth rate considering the relevant industry growth rate forecast and the economic condition of the market and period which does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the industry.

Such estimation is based on the past performance of the CGU, industry information and management's expectations for the market development, including the fluctuation in the software products and related services business in the current economic environment. The key assumptions used in estimating the recoverable amount are as follows:

2025 2024
Average annual revenue growth rate during the forecast period 1.8% 3.1%
Average annual gross profit margin during the forecast period 34.9% 37.9%
Terminal revenue growth rate 2.0% 2.5%
Pre-tax discount rate 16.5% 17.5%

The recoverable amount of the CGU of software business was RMB7,160,000,000 as at 31 December 2025 (2024: RMB7,520,000,000), which was higher than the carrying amount of the CGU, including the goodwill. Therefore, for the year ended 31 December 2025, no impairment loss was recognised (2024: nil).

Impairment testing on goodwill — Continued

Software business: — Continued

The table below sets forth a sensitivity analysis of the impact of variations in key assumptions, namely the discount rate and the terminal revenue growth rate, on the recoverable amount of the CGU of software business, where the headroom represents the excess of the recoverable amount over the carrying amount of the CGU of software business. The headroom amounts to RMB509,000,000 as at 31 December 2025 (2024: RMB742,000,000). The management believes that any reasonably possible change in assumptions would not cause the aggregate carrying amount of the CGU to exceed the recoverable amount.

11. TRADE AND NOTES RECEIVABLES — CONTINUED

The Group generally grants a credit period of 30 days from the dates of acceptance reports when the Group has the right to consideration becoming unconditional. The extension of credit period to the customers may be granted on a discretionary basis by considering customer type, the current creditworthiness and the customer's financial condition and payment history with the Group.

Trade receivables relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Group. The allowance for doubtful debts of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of individual trade debts performed by the management. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer.

Notes receivables are bank acceptance notes and commercial acceptance notes issued by large enterprise customers, which the management believes that all the counterparties are of high credit quality and the expected credit loss is not significant.

Ageing of trade and notes receivables, net of allowance for credit losses, based on the dates when the Group has the right to bill, at the end of the years ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 is as follows:

Revenue

In 2025, due to reduced investment in the telecommunications industry, the Group took proactive measures to expand its market presence, maintain its scale, and improve efficiency. As a result, its business has stabilised, and new business grew rapidly. The Group achieved operating revenue of approximately RMB6,302 million (2024: approximately RMB6,646 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 5.2%, with the decline significantly narrower than in 2024.

The following table sets forth the breakdown of our revenue by business category, both in absolute amounts and as percentages of the total revenue, for the periods indicated:

Goodwill

As at 31 December 2025, we had goodwill of approximately RMB1,932 million (31 December 2024: approximately RMB1,932 million), mainly arisen from the business combination and acquisition which was completed in 2010. The Group engaged a professional independent valuer to conduct an impairment assessment of the goodwill at the end of 2025. According to the assessment results, during the Reporting Period, we did not record goodwill impairment losses.


Restricted bank deposits

As at 31 December 2025, restricted bank deposits amounted to approximately RMB202 million (31 December 2024: approximately RMB201 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 0.2%, with no material changes.

As at 31 December 2025, trade and notes receivables amounted to approximately RMB1,811 million (31 December 2024: approximately RMB2,065 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 12.3%. The turnover days of trade and notes receivables were approximately 126.7 days (2024: approximately 105.5 days). The above changes were mainly due to changes in business scale and a slight increase in annual average trade receivables. The above figures include trade and notes receivables with China Mobile Group.

As at 31 December 2025, financial assets measured at FVTPL amounted to approximately RMB162 million (31 December 2024: approximately RMB179 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 9.4%, which was mainly due to the redemption of wealth management products. During the Reporting Period, no single wealth management products investment accounted for more than 5% of the Group's total assets.

Inventories

As at 31 December 2025, inventories amounted to approximately RMB161 million (31 December 2024: approximately RMB275 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 41.4%.

The above figures were mainly subject to normal changes in line with business development during the credit period.

Borrowings

As at 31 December 2025, the Group had no bank borrowings (31 December 2024: nil). The gearing ratio was nil (31 December 2024: nil).

Note 1: Gearing ratio was calculated by dividing total bank borrowings by total equity and multiplied by 100%.

Contingencies

During the Reporting Period, the Group received an arbitration notice from the Beijing Arbitration Commission. The claimant, a supplier of the Group, has filed multiple arbitration claims related to disputes arising under a procurement contract, including claims for rescission of the contract. The aggregate amount claimed is approximately RMB101 million. The hearing for the case has not yet been conducted.

After considering the advice of professional legal counsel, the Group has assessed the matter and implemented appropriate legal measures to actively defend the Group in the arbitration proceedings. The arbitration process is expected to take time, and the impact on the Group's operating results remains uncertain. The Group has determined that the maximum potential risk exposure is not material and is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Group's business and operations.

For the Reporting Period, save as disclosed above and in this annual results announcement, we did not have any plan for material external debt financing, nor were there any material outstanding debt securities, charges, mortgages, or other material similar indebtedness, leasing commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

Cash flow and financial resources

In 2025, net cash generated from operating activities amounted to approximately RMB407 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 493.5%, primarily due to significant improvement in cash collection and effective cost and expense control. In the same period of 2024, net cash used in operating activities was approximately RMB104 million.


In 2025, net cash used in investing activities was approximately RMB11 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 103.5%, primarily due to differences in the redemption scale of wealth management products. In the same period of 2024, net cash generated from investing activities was approximately RMB316 million.

In 2025, net cash used in financing activities was approximately RMB566 million (2024: approximately RMB1,208 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 53.1%, primarily due to differences in dividends and dividend taxes paid during the corresponding period.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and other short-term deposits. The Group's bank balance are denominated in RMB, US$, HK$ and dirham.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk of loss resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Fluctuations in exchange rates between RMB and other currencies in which the Group conducts business may affect its financial position and results of operations. The foreign exchange risk facing the Group mainly comes from movements in the HKD/RMB and USD/RMB exchange rates.
