NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRS Accounting Standards (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations) as issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for other financial assets, other financial liability and investment properties, which have been measured at fair value. These consolidated financial statements are presented in RMB and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
1.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The Group has adopted amendments to HKAS 21 Lack of Exchangeability for the first time for the current year’s financial statements. The Group has not early adopted any other standard or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Amendments to HKAS 21 specify how an entity shall assess whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and how it shall estimate a spot exchange rate at a date when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments require disclosures of information that enable users of financial statements to understand the impact of a currency not being exchangeable. As the currencies that the Group had transacted in and the functional currencies of overseas subsidiaries and joint ventures for translation into the Group’s presentation currency were exchangeable, the amendments did not have any impact on the Group’s financial statements.
In addition, the HKICPA has issued amendments to Illustrative Examples on HKFRS 7, HKFRS 18, HKAS 1, HKAS 8, HKAS 36 and HKAS 37 Disclosures about Uncertainties in the Financial Statements, which added illustrative examples in the corresponding HKFRS Accounting Standards. These examples reflect existing requirements in the corresponding HKFRS Accounting Standards to report the effects of uncertainties in the financial statements using climate-related examples. Therefore, the amendments do not have an effective date or transitional provisions. The Group has considered the guidance in these illustrative examples and assessed that there were no impact on the Group’s financial statements.

2. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group is principally engaged in the provision of first-mile international freight services and last-mile fulfillment services, including overseas warehousing, other value-added services and deliveries for the cross-border e-commerce participants based in Chinese Mainland.
HKFRS 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reporting about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker in order to allocate resources to segments and to assess their performance. The information reported to the directors of the Company, who are the chief operating decision-makers, for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of performance does not contain discrete operating segment financial information and the directors of the Company reviewed the financial results of the Group as a whole. Therefore, no further information about the operating segment is presented.

| | 17,815 | 7,906 |
(b) Performance obligations
Information about the Group’s performance obligations is summarised below:
For first-mile international freight services including provision of transportation from the designated locations in Chinese Mainland to the designated overseas locations, the performance obligation is satisfied over time and the completion progress of these services is therefore measured by the number of days from the date the Group receiving the goods from the customers to the report date over the estimated service period. The credit terms offered to clients are generally within 30 days from the end of the month, can be extended up to two months, or are settled on an advance receipt basis depending on the relationships with the customers.
For last-mile fulfillment services including the provision of one-stop logistic services from the overseas port to the overseas destination designated by the end customers, which includes different steps such as overseas warehousing, other value-added services and local deliveries, the performance obligation is satisfied over time as progress towards the days consumed over the estimated service period. The credit terms offered to clients are generally within 30 days from the end of the month, can be extended up to two months, or are settled on an advance receipt basis depending on the relationships with the customers.
The Group has elected the practical expedient for not to disclose the remaining performance obligations for these types of contracts because the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

7. (LOSS)/EARNINGS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT
The calculation of the basic earnings per share amounts is based on the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 435,658,941 (2024: 400,797,498) outstanding during the year, as adjusted to reflect the rights issue during the year.
The calculation of the diluted earnings per share amounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 is based on the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent. The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation is the number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, as used in the basic earnings per share calculation, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed exercise or conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
No adjustment has been made to the basic loss per share amount presented for the year ended 31 December 2025 in respect of a dilution as impact of the potential ordinary shares had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share amount presented.
The calculations of basic and diluted (loss)/earnings per share are based on:

| Impairment | (37,994) | (16,797) |
| | 284,287 | 197,366 |
The Group’s trading terms with its customers are mainly on credit, except for new customers, where payment in advance is normally required. The credit terms offered to clients are generally within 30 days from the end of the month, extending up to two months for major customers. Each customer has a maximum credit limit. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by management. The Group’s trade receivables from third parties relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances. Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing.
An ageing analysis of the trade receivable as at the end of the reporting period, based on the invoice date and net of loss allowance, is as follows:
| | 2025
RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Within 3 months | 250,664 | 194,002 |

| Over 6 months | 1,013 | 524 |
| | 284,287 | 197,366 |
The movements in the loss allowance for impairment of trade receivables are as follows:
| | 2025
RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| At beginning of year | 16,797 | 9,028 |
| Impairment losses | 22,234 | 14,524 |
| Amount written off as uncollectible | (1,037) | (6,755) |
| At end of year | 37,994 | 16,797 |
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date. The Group uses a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses for trade receivables. The provision rates are based on groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns (i.e., by customer type and service type). The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Besides, for balances in relation to individual customers which bear specific credit risk depending on the repayment history, financial position and other external or internal information, management estimates the amounts recoverable by taking into account any credit enhancement held by the Group and recognises provision against the difference between the net remaining balance and the amount recoverable.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
Since its inception, the Group has consistently adhered to an unwavering commitment to delivering customer-centric, technology-driven and reliable solutions to our customers, dedicating itself to providing global-leading logistics technology services powered by artificial intelligence for e-commerce sellers, which encompass cross-border logistics, overseas warehousing and fulfillment delivery services. The Group have integrated these services into our SaaS Platform, EDA Cloud platform, our self-developed cloud platform which houses a comprehensive range of digital supply management tools, aiming to support the sustainable growth of China's rapidly expanding B2C export e-commerce industry.
As an internet-driven enterprise in the cross-border e-commerce industry, the Group leverages our technology-enabled "internet + overseas warehouses" business model to focus on cross-border e-commerce services, enhancing synergies across the cross-border e-commerce industry value chain and driving the integrated development of "cross-border e-commerce + industrial clusters". The Group empowers its ecological partners, including cross-border e-commerce, logistics service providers, and warehousing service providers, through its self-developed EDA Cloud platform and extensive overseas warehouse storage network system, so as to enable partners to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and achieve worry-free cross-border transactions and trading in the new business environment of cross-border e-commerce.
In February 2025, the Group officially upgraded its long-term strategic goal to "becoming a leading global artificial intelligence logistics technology services group in the new era", and is committed to promoting the transformation of cross-border e-commerce logistics industry from "labor-intensive" to "intelligent-driven" through AI and large-scale model technology. With 2025 as the foundation year, the Group has established the strategic goal of achieving high growth by 2030, and formulated detailed action plans covering in-depth integration of AI technology, optimization of overseas warehouse layout, provision of AI + RPA services, implementation of intelligent warehousing plan and improvement of management model.
In terms of performance, for the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recorded revenue of RMB1,987,271,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 17.6% as compared with RMB1,690,081,000 for the corresponding period last year. In particular, during the Relevant Period, revenue from last-mile fulfillment services, which is the core growth engine, amounted to RMB1,864,858,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 26.8% as compared with RMB1,470,221,000 for the corresponding period last year, while revenue from first-mile international freight services amounted to RMB122,413,000, representing a year-on-year decrease of 44.3% as compared with RMB219,860,000 for the corresponding period last year. In terms of gross profit, the Group recorded a gross profit of RMB198,548,000 during the Relevant Period, representing a year-on-year decrease of
- 22 -
20.9% as compared with RMB250,995,000 for the corresponding period last year. As for the profits, during the Relevant Period the Group recorded a net loss of RMB12,156,000 as compared with net profit of RMB47,068,000 for the corresponding period last year, and the adjusted loss (a non-HKFRS measure and derived from the net profit or net loss of the Group excluding the effect of listing fees and share-based payment expenses) was RMB8,374,000, as compared with the adjusted net profit of RMB113,903,000 for the corresponding period last year. During the Relevant Period, the Group's net loss margin and adjusted net loss margin (non-HKFRS measure) were 0.6% and 0.4% respectively, as compared with net profit margin of 2.8% and adjusted net profit margin of 6.7% respectively in the corresponding period last year. The turnaround from profit to loss of the Group for the Relevant Period was mainly attributable to: 1) strategic investment in overseas warehouses: with the addition of leased overseas warehouses by the second half of 2024 and the year of 2025, such warehouses usually require a ramp-up period before achieving profitability. However, the relevant costs and expenses increased significantly, mainly due to the commencement of amortization of the related right-of-use assets and the recognition of interest expenses on the lease liabilities; 2) tariff policy adjustments during the Relevant Period increased the uncertainty of the market and intensified industry competition, resulting in a continued decline in the unit price of orders; 3) increases in overseas logistics costs and labor costs, leading to a significant rise in the Group's overall costs during the Relevant Period; and 4) an increase in the provision for expected credit losses of the Group's accounts receivable, primarily due to the lengthening of receivables ageing, which increased by approximately RMB7,717,000 as compared with that of the corresponding period in 2024. The management of the Group believes that the presentation of the adjusted net profit as a non-HKFRS measure when shown in conjunction with the corresponding HKFRS measures helps to identify underlying trends in the Group's business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of non-operational or non-recurring expenses, and therefore provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating results of operation of the Group by eliminating potential impacts of such items. The management of the Group also believes that the use of non-HKFRS measures provides useful information about the Group's operating results, enhances the overall understanding of the Group's past performance and prospects, and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Group's management in its financial and operational decision-making.

In terms of businesses, for the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group contracted 6 new overseas warehouses, which are located in United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Germany, with an increase in total area of approximately 130,000 square meters. As of the same date, the Group contracted a total of 60 overseas warehouses covering more than 40 cities in three continents of the world. The Group's overseas warehouse storage network continued to expand, enhancing its business capacity. During the Relevant Period, the number of core customers of the Group (customers which contributed more than RMB3 million of our revenue for the Relevant Period) increased to 117 (90 for the corresponding period in 2024) and sales to core customers amounted to RMB1,629,847,000, representing an increase of $13.1\%$ as compared to the same period last year. During the Relevant Period, revenue generated from SaaS services amounted to RMB1,612,000, representing a year-on-year increase of $48\%$ and there were additional 8 new users.
Meanwhile, the Group has forged close partnerships with major e-commerce platforms and actively seized the opportunities arising from the vigorous development of the "semi-hosting" model of cross-border e-commerce during the Relevant Period. The Group has obtained TikTok's local certification docking warehouse qualification, and has deepened strategic cooperation with global mainstream e-commerce platforms such as TEMU, AliExpress and SHEIN. Benefiting from this, orders from the above-mentioned semi-hosting platforms have grown rapidly, and related revenue has increased by $145.3\%$ year-on-year.
The Group always closely monitors the dynamic changes in the global industrial layout. The Group is optimistic about the huge potential of the Southeast Asian market and has invested in 5 overseas warehouses in Indonesia with a total area of 30,000 square meters, laying a solid foundation for future development in this region. At the same time, the Group firmly implemented the strategy of multi-regional balanced development and successfully reduced its dependence on a single market. In 2025, revenue contribution from the US market decreased from $80.5\%$ in 2024 to $73.3\%$ , while revenue contribution from the European region increased from $12.1\%$ in 2024 to $17.2\%$ .
Furthermore, the Group is acutely aware that in the wave of digital trade, artificial intelligence (“AI”) to assist in global expansion of trade has become a trend. To this end, the Group established a dedicated AI team to comprehensively promote the “AI+” strategy. It has entered into in-depth collaborations with Huawei Cloud and AWS, and successfully integrated the DeepSeek large model, achieving early technological implementation within the industry. The Group launched intelligent assistant and digital human “Cloud Doudou” to significantly enhance customer interaction experience. On the operation side, through the deep integration of AI technology and robotic process automation (RPA), the Group’s automated document processing rate has been significantly improved, and the demand forecast deviation rate has been significantly reduced.
As the first enterprise in China’s cross-border e-commerce industry to successfully list with overseas warehouse as its core business, the Group remains committed to providing globally leading AI logistics technology services to our customers, aiming to seize market opportunities in global trade and capitalize on the rapid growth of the cross-border B2C e-commerce market. Meanwhile, we will vigorously develop cross-border e-commerce empowerment for industrial belts, strive to improve the Group’s profitability, achieve sustainable high-quality growth, and maximize returns for the Shareholders.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND FUTURE STRATEGIES
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s gross domestic product (“GDP”) for the year of 2025 reached RMB140.19 trillion, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.0% calculated at constant prices. In 2025, China’s foreign trade demonstrated strong resilience, and the total volume of goods import and export reached RMB45.47 trillion for the full year, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.8%, while the total volume of service import and export reached RMB8.08 trillion, with a year-on-year increase of 7.4%. In 2025, China’s exports reached RMB26.99 trillion, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.1%; imports amounted to RMB18.48 trillion, representing a year-on-year increase of 0.5%; and the trade surplus reached RMB8.51 trillion, expanding by 20.5% year-on-year. Overall, the net exports of China’s trade in goods and service in 2025 contributed 32.7% to China’s economic growth, providing strong support for the smooth operation of the macro economy.
In 2025, China introduced multiple policies to stabilize foreign trade, with cross-border e-commerce, as one of the key channels for foreign trade, supporting by several policies, and the industry development environment continues to be optimized. According to the initial statistics from the General Administration of Customs, the total volume of cross-border e-commerce import and export in China in 2025 reached RMB2.75 trillion, accounting for 6% of the total volume of goods import and export. At the tax level, the State Administration of Taxation formally implemented the “departure tax refund” policy for the export of cross-border e-commerce overseas warehouse (Customs supervision code “9810”) on 27 January 2025, allowing enterprises to declare in advance after the goods are declared for customs departure, thereby significantly enhancing their working capital efficiency.

In terms of pilot construction, the State Council approved the establishment of new cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones in 15 cities (regions) including Hainan Island and Qinhuangdao during the year, further improving the layout of comprehensive pilot zones linked along the border, coastal and inland areas, and providing a policy basis for more regions to use cross-border e-commerce to empower local industries. Furthermore, the construction of China's first "Silk Road E-commerce" cooperation pilot zone (Shanghai) entered a deepening stage, and more than 10 institutional open achievements that can be replicated and promoted have been formed in terms of "single declaration, dual customs clearance" and cross-border electronic invoice interoperability. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Commerce and other relevant authorities guided comprehensive pilot zones across various regions to deeply implement the "cross-border e-commerce + industrial belt" empowerment initiative, fostering the deep integration of cross-border e-commerce with local advantageous industries.
From the perspective of industry trends, the "semi-hosting" model continued to rise and gradually matured in 2025. This model is between full hosting and self-operation models, allowing merchants to operate independently, while the e-commerce platform only handles warehousing and logistics. This model provides merchants with greater operational flexibility while lowering the barriers to entering overseas markets, making it a new trend in cross-border e-commerce platforms. As the semi-hosting model is being widely embraced by market participants, the platform will promote sellers to use their designated or approved overseas warehouses in order to efficiently fulfill the contract, which directly promotes the growth of demand for overseas warehouses. At the same time, markets such as the United States and the European Union have adjusted the tax-free policy for small parcels, which has increased the tariff cost of some direct mail models, thus further highlighting the strategic value of overseas warehouses in responding to policy changes, ensuring the timeliness of contract performance and cost control, and accelerating the transfer of orders to overseas warehouse fulfillment models.
Additionally, with the continuous evolution of AI technology, its application scenarios in cross-border e-commerce and overseas warehousing have become increasingly extensive. AI technology is no longer limited to simple tool-based applications but is playing a significant role in intelligent decision-making, market trend prediction, as well as other fields, thereby improving operational efficiency and user experience and comprehensively driving the development of cross-border e-commerce and overseas warehouse sectors. In addition, the Group is promoting cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the industry in an all-round way by accessing the DeepSeek large model, launching intelligent assistant and digital human "Cloud Doudou", and deeply integrating AI technology with robotic process automation (RPA).
– 26 –
The Group believes that despite the short-term disturbance caused by the changes in tariff policies of some countries, the strategic value of overseas warehouses as critical infrastructure of cross-border supply chain will become increasingly prominent. The Group will continue to firmly implement its long-term growth strategy from 2025 to 2030, and the Group believes that the following competitive advantages have contributed to our success and distinguished us from our competitors: 1) enhance the level of automation and intelligence of self-developed system tools through continuous R&D investment in technologies and systems; 2) leveraging on its strong global network organization capabilities and continuously expanding overseas warehousing network, the Group’s business carrying capacity was enhanced; 3) high-quality and stable customer structure, and gradually deepened cooperation with brand customers and integrated manufacturing-trade customers; 4) deepening cooperation with major e-commerce platforms to help the Group reach customers more efficiently; 5) leading AI technology application capabilities, achieving significant improvements in operational efficiency by accessing DeepSeek large models and applying RPA technology.
In order to capture the potential growth opportunities of the industry, in the next stage, the Group will continue to improve the profitability of the Group through the following measures: 1) continue to expand the Group’s overseas warehouse network, especially deepen the coverage of the US market, and accelerate the layout in potential markets such as Europe and Southeast Asia, so as to balance the global business structure; 2) continue to increase R&D investment in artificial intelligence and automation technologies, build industry-leading digital and intelligent solutions, and consolidate the Group’s technological moat; 3) focus on serving high-quality and integrated manufacturing-trade customers, and enhance customer stickiness by launching customized value-added services such as performance insurance and supply chain finance; 4) actively seek strategic investment and merger and acquisition opportunities with synergistic effects (such as integrating domestic truck resources in the United States and investing in AI technology companies) to improve the Group’s industrial chain layout and enhance its comprehensive competitiveness; 5) promote management innovation, improve human efficiency, and increase talent investment.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recorded gross profit of RMB198,548,000, representing a year-on-year decrease of RMB52,447,000 or 20.9% as compared with RMB250,995,000 for the corresponding period last year. The Group's overall gross profit margin was 10.0% during the Relevant Period, as compared to 14.9% for the corresponding period last year. The gross profit margin of first-mile services was 8.6% for the Relevant Period, as compared to negative gross profit margin of 0.4% (excluding direct mail for small package air transportation business) for the corresponding period last year. The negative gross profit margin of direct mail for small package air transportation was 20.9%
- 30 -
for the corresponding period last year, mainly due to significant penalties imposed by counterparties. The gross profit margin of last-mile services was 10.1% during the Relevant Period, as compared to 17.4% in the corresponding period last year.
During the Relevant Period, the gross profit margin of first-mile services increased, mainly due to the impact of continuous decrease in first-mile ocean freight rates since the second quarter of this year, which was mainly due to: 1) the impact of tariff policies, importers of the United States had already replenished a large amount of goods in advance during the tariff "window period" in April 2025, resulting in a sharp decline in the volume of new goods in the second quarter; 2) To meet the replenishment demands before tariffs, shipping companies have put a large number of ultra-large container ships into the trans-Pacific route; 3) in view of the above situation, shipping companies have an excess of shipping space, and the first-mile ocean freight rates in the sellers' market has declined.
The gross profit margin of last-mile services was 10.1% during the Relevant Period, as compared to 17.4% for the corresponding period last year. The decrease in the gross profit margin of last-mile services was mainly due to: 1) the Group's newly opened overseas warehouses in the second half of 2024 and the year of 2025, which usually need ramp up time to reach profitability, led to the decline in gross profit margin when the rental cost was fixed; 2) the decrease in the unit price under the Semi-hosting Warehouse model; 3) the increase in the labor costs of overseas warehouses and rent.
