I. Deepening the Development of Intelligent Supply Chains to Enhance Quality and Efficiency across the Entire Industrial Chain
During the Reporting Period, the Group continued to enhance its intelligent supply chain capabilities, focusing on building an innovative supply chain model that integrates “reverse customization, short-chain distribution, and digitalization”. This initiative aims to assist partners across the entire industrial chain in improving quality and efficiency. On February 28, 2025, the Group officially launched three major intelligent supply chain projects: “Brand Express”, “Own Brand Ecosystem Development”, and “Open Smart Supply Chain Platform”, and comprehensively promoted their implementation. This involved continuously deepening strategic cooperation with leading brand manufacturers such as Apple, Shandong Ruixing, and Ningxia Lanfeng. Notably, during Apple’s new product launch season, the gross profit margin increased by over 30%, and output per single store grew by more than 40%. The Group actively expanded into innovative categories such as fast-moving consumer goods and senior-friendly health products, collaborating with companies like Joy Group, Oulin Group, Boin Hearing, and Benlai Life to develop new consumption scenarios in lower-tier markets. In 2025, the Group’s revenue from new categories increased by over 50%. Revenue from the Group’s own brands surpassed RMB140 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 37%, with gross profit margin exceeding 40%. Among these, our own brands such as “Peach Blossom (桃花潭)”, “Forbidden City (故宮)” and “IDISSA (阿爾蒂沙)” were widely acclaimed by the market, with their brand influence continuously growing.
II. Deepened Development and Application of AI Products with Remarkable Results in Intelligent Upgrading
The Group has firmly advanced the in-depth integration of “AI + industries”, strengthened AI empowerment for member stores, and developed the “Qiancheng Cloud AI” vertical application large model featuring “small stores with large models” as well as a product matrix of AI marketing agents. We have not only launched a large model, but more importantly, we have introduced the “AI Store Assistant”. It automatically analyzes store sales data and local consumption trends to provide precise product selection recommendations for member store owners. At the same time, it supports one-click generation of marketing copy and automated planning of marketing campaigns. With the “AI Store Assistant”, we have upgraded our SaaS tools from “management software” to “revenue-generating tools”, making member store operations easier and profitability more sustainable.
On the one hand, it has strengthened the foundation of vertical large models, independently developed and iterated the retail-scenario-based “Qiancheng Cloud AI” vertical model in an all-round way, integrated world-leading open-source model algorithms, and launched data analysis systems and industry models more suitable for the operation of small stores in the low-tier markets. It also passed the filing of “large models” with the Cyberspace Administration of China in May 2025. On the other hand, it has accelerated the R&D and commercial promotion of AI Agents, promoted the upgrading of AI innovative applications and digital-intelligent systems, improved and iterated AI-enabled products, accelerated the establishment of a full-scenario intelligent Agent matrix to empower digital-intelligent new retail, and continuously boosted the operational efficiency of member retail stores.

Meanwhile, the Group has deepened the construction of AI+ ecological cooperation and reached a full-stack comprehensive AI cooperation with Alibaba Cloud. It has continuously integrated its online-offline integrated operation and service capabilities with Alibaba Cloud's core "Cloud + AI" capabilities to jointly build a new "AI + industries" ecosystem in low-tier markets, further strengthening the Group's competitiveness in the digital-intelligent retail sector.
Adopting the market strategy of rapidly promoting the full AI transformation of digital-intelligent products and the fast commercialization of AI agents, combined with the characteristics of agile iteration and effect delivery of AI, the Group has gradually upgraded from the basic standard subscription payment model to a comprehensive payment model of "standard subscription payment + pay-as-you-go + pay-for-performance". Its annual AI revenue exceeded RMB100 million, and the structure of comprehensive service revenue continued to improve.
III. Explored and Laid Out New Retail Formats and Entered the FMCG Discount Chain Track
To adapt to the transformation of retail formats, build a new relationship among consumers, products and scenarios, seize terminal dominance in the new retail era, and further transform into fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) operation, the Group has officially entered the field of hard discount FMCG chains and launched the "Z-Zip Bee" hard discount supermarket chain brand. In December 2025, it successfully opened the first batch of ten stores simultaneously in Nanjing, striving to become a leading brand of hard discount chains in low-tier markets in the next three years.
IV. Deepened the Two-Wheel Drive of "Industry + Capital" and Completed Multiple Investments and Mergers of High-Potential Projects
The Group has adhered to the two-wheel drive strategy of "Industry + Capital". On the one hand, it has deeply cultivated industrial construction; on the other hand, it has promoted investments in and mergers of high-quality targets through capital means, achieving breakthrough results. In September 2025, as a restructuring industrial investor, the Group participated in the merger, acquisition and restructuring of Jin Tong Ling, a listed company in the high-end manufacturing industry, at the minimum acquisition price complying with regulatory requirements, constructing a dual industrial layout of "large consumption + intelligent manufacturing", enhancing the Group's management and operation capabilities in the high-end manufacturing sector, and bringing considerable investment returns to shareholders. In November 2025, the Group merged and acquired Tibet Boundary Information Technology Co., Ltd. ("Boundary") and its subsidiaries (together, "Boundary Group"), a leading enterprise in e-commerce AI. Boundary is an intelligent technology company focusing on e-commerce and retail enterprises, providing full-stack services covering "AI products" and "digital-intelligent solutions". Through the comprehensive integration of its technologies, commodities, operations, data and other resources, the Group has further enhanced its AI service capabilities and core competitiveness, and accelerated the construction of full-stack AI capabilities.
Through strategic mergers and acquisitions, the Group has successfully built a new industrial layout of "large consumption + intelligent manufacturing + AI technology", adding a new engine for the construction of its core capabilities and sustainable growth in the future.

V. Promoting the Integrated Development of Urban and Rural Economies and Constantly Enhancing Corporate Influence
In 2025, the Group received extensive attention and recognition from various levels of government and society, which further strengthened its industry influence. The Group was invited to attend symposiums held by the Ministry of Commerce and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, among others. Leaders from the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial United Front Work Department, and the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League visited for research and inspections for many times, and have highly praised for the Huitongda’s undertakings. In 2025, the Company received numerous corporate honors and provincial and ministerial-level awards: it continued to be listed on the Top 500 Chinese Enterprises, the Top 500 Chinese Service Enterprises, the Key Software Enterprise Encouraged by the State, and the Top 100 Industrial Internet Enterprises.
FUTURE PROSPECT
In 2026, with the advent of the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, the national strategy is guiding the economy to achieve a comprehensive leap from high-speed growth to high-quality development. Currently, technological innovation and industrial upgrading are deeply integrated, and artificial intelligence is developing rapidly. The “new quality productive forces” driven by technological innovation is becoming a key force in reshaping the global competitive landscape. On the other hand, the consumer market is showing a trend of both rationalization and high quality, with profound adjustments in the demand structure. We face both opportunities and challenges.
Amid this macro environment, the Group has established the annual policy of “ensuring growth, improving quality, and pursuing transformation and upgrading”, fully embracing the AI wave, meeting the new market demands, thereby accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the Group towards an innovative supply chain and AI-enabled technology enterprise. In 2026, the Group will focus on implementing four major innovative projects:
6
I. Accelerating the expansion to the fast-moving consumer goods discount chain market
The Group will accelerate the implementation of the “Fast-moving Consumer Goods Discount Chain Project” to drive the transformation of the Group’s core business from slow-moving consumer goods to fast-moving consumer goods. In terms of channel layout: the Group will focus in depth on the lower-tier markets, rapidly expand through various means such as self-operation, joint ventures, and mergers and acquisitions, and gradually build a wide-ranging distribution system for fast-moving consumer goods in the lower-tier markets in the future. In terms of supply chain construction: on the one hand, the Group will establish a centralized procurement platform to integrate and link more high-quality upstream resources of fast-moving consumer goods through a short-chain model. On the other hand, the Group will further collaborate with existing strategic partner brands, fully engage in customer co-creation, and create more innovative products, best-selling SKUs, and self-owned brands, providing a solid guarantee for the ultimate cost performance of the hard discount model. In terms of operation and management: the Group will focus on the single-store output, continuously refine its operation model, and strengthen AI empowerment and intelligent hardware services by centering on the pain points and demands of stores, such as product shelving, intelligent replenishment, intelligent marketing, instant retail, fan operation, retail robots and cash register robots, etc. The in-depth empowerment of AI capabilities will enable the Group to improve the operational efficiency, expand sales and increase profits of stores. In the next three years, the Group strives to become the leading brand of hard discount chains in China’s lower-tier markets and create new growth drivers for the sustainable development of the enterprise.
II. Focusing on AI Application Scenarios to Enhance Digital and Intelligent Empowerment Capabilities
In 2026, the Group will continue to upgrade its AI+ strategy, further focusing on AI application scenarios. Centered on the entire operational chain of the retail industry, we will build the Qiancheng Cloud AI vertical application large model, embodying the concept of “small stores, large models”, and an AI marketing agent matrix. We will accelerate the development, application, and revenue generation of AI Agent, constructing an empowerment system integrating “AI + Digital Intelligence + Hardware-Software Integration.” This marks a comprehensive upgrade from SaaS-based empowerment to AI-driven empowerment, continuously accumulating data assets and enhancing digital and intelligent empowerment capabilities.
On one hand, we will strengthen the foundation of our vertical large model by fully self-developing and iterating the “Qiancheng Cloud AI” vertical model tailored for retail scenarios. By integrating globally leading open-source model algorithms, we will introduce a data analysis system and industry model better suited for store operations in lower-tier markets. On the other hand, we will accelerate the R&D and commercial promotion of AI Agents, focusing on an AI Agent application matrix centered on enterprise-level applications in marketing, sales, content management, member marketing, and smart supply chain. We aim to build a more secure and efficient cloud-edge-device integrated, enterprise-level private computing-storage integrated solution.
7
We will further drive the comprehensive AI-oriented upgrade of digital intelligence products, achieving automation and intelligence. Through command-based and conversational interactions, we will deliver outcome-based results, empowering the new digital and intelligent retail landscape more intelligently and enhancing member marketing efficiency. Simultaneously, we will proactively plan the integration of physical AI and intelligent agents, introducing industry-leading algorithms and AI R&D talent. We will collaboratively develop intelligent terminals and AI robots based on retail intelligence, such as smart cash registers, smart store patrol systems, and smart retail service robots. Furthermore, we will strengthen our comprehensive full-stack AI cooperation with Alibaba Cloud, achieving complementarity and synergy between our agents and Alibaba Cloud's "Cloud + AI" core capabilities. We will deepen the construction of the AI+ ecosystem, collaborating with universities, research institutions, chip manufacturers, and leading enterprises to build an "AI + Agent" ecosystem for the lower-tier market. This will continuously enhance the Group's intelligent service capabilities and R&D capabilities in areas like digital and intelligent retail, AI member marketing, and smart supply chains, solidifying our market leadership.
The Group will continue to optimize its AI product market strategy, implementing a comprehensive payment model combining "standard subscription fees + pay-as-you-go fees + pay-for-performance fees." We will continuously optimize the service revenue structure, ensuring the sustainable growth of comprehensive service income and achieving breakthroughs in AI revenue growth.
III. Building an Intelligent Technology Product Service Platform
Leveraging long-term, in-depth cooperation with leading technology brands like Apple, the Group has established and validated a full-chain service capability for technology products that integrates refined operations, high-efficiency service, and precise conversion. In 2026, relying on this core capability, the Group will comprehensively upgrade to build an "Intelligent Technology Product Service Platform." We are committed to becoming the "Value Connector" in the intelligent technology industry, utilizing full-chain services and data intelligence to accelerate the efficient transformation of technological achievements into new quality productive forces. We will provide full-cycle commercialization services for a wider range of intelligent technology enterprises, especially innovators with cutting-edge technologies.
Through deep channel empowerment and digital marketing, the Group will help them solve the challenge of transforming technology prototypes into best-selling products, achieving a large-scale leap from product to best seller and successfully commercializing them. This involves, on one hand, leveraging our extensive lower-tier channel network and AI marketing capabilities to pave the way for the market entry of technology products. On the other hand, relying on our digital and intelligent platform, we will feed back accumulated consumer data to upstream enterprises, providing them with more precise market-oriented suggestions for product R&D and iteration, thereby promoting demand-driven production and agile innovation.
8
IV. Implementing Innovative Supply Chain Projects
The Group will focus on building an innovative supply chain platform centered on FMCG. On one hand, the Group will continue to deepen the “Self-owned Brand Ecosystem Development (自有品牌生態群)” and the “Brand Express Project (品牌直通車工程)” through an innovative supply chain model characterized by “reverse supply chain + short supply chain + digitalization (反向+短鏈+數字化)”. Leveraging AI and big data, the Group aims to achieve precise matching between supply and demand, fostering a virtuous industrial ecosystem that benefits producers, distributors, and consumers alike. On the other hand, aligning with the new directions of consumer categories, consumption scenarios, and consumption channels, the Group will forge deeper upstream connections with high-frequency FMCG categories such as liquor and beverages, foods, daily detergent and skin-care products to enrich our supply resources and enhance supply quality, and precisely cover emerging scenarios such as chain retail terminals, private domain operations, and O2O in downstream industries, positioning ourselves as a comprehensive, innovative supply chain service platform that serves all channels and adapts to new consumption trends.
The year 2026 will mark a pivotal transition for Huitongda from strategic upgrading to value realization. With the deep engagement in the markets in lower-tier cities over the past fourteen years, and driven by the artificial intelligence technological revolution, the transformation of new retail formats, and industrial capital, the Group will accelerate its shift from a phase of high-quality operations to one of value creation. Looking ahead to 2026, the Group will steadfastly implement our annual strategy of “ensuring growth, improving quality, and pursuing transformation and upgrading”, translating our strategic vision into growth momentum. We will leverage AI to reshape operational efficiency, create industrial value through supply chain capabilities, and explore new growth opportunities through hard-discount chain operations.
The Group will continue to strengthen capital-driven growth, achieving dual-line expansion in both “industry and capital”. On one hand, the Group will optimize the operations of existing investment and M&A projects (such as Jin Tong Ling and Boundary), fully enabling synergies, enhancing industrial value, and driving sustained growth. On the other hand, in line with our strategic transformation and upgrading, the Group will advance investments and M&As in high-potential projects across key areas such as FMCG chains, AI vertical applications, technology service platforms, and innovative supply chains. This will accelerate our capability-building and promote a comprehensive improvement in both corporate and capital value.
The Group places great importance on returning value to our Shareholders. In 2026, the Group will make well-coordinated plans that balance long-term development with Shareholder interests, continuously improving our profit distribution mechanisms and actively sharing the fruits of our development with all Shareholders through cash dividends and other means. Going forward, the Group will remain committed to creating sustainable, long-term value for our Shareholders, partners, and society.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the Reporting Period, the Group continued to focus on its strategy of cooperation with leading brands and network expansion in lower-tier markets. It proactively optimized its business structure, scaled back inefficient operations, and concentrated resources on developing core product categories with high margins and strong growth potential. In 2025, the Group's revenue was RMB52,297.5 million, representing a decrease of 12.9%.
The following table sets forth the absolute amount and year-on-year change in revenue by business segments for 2024 and 2025:
Commerce Business

|---|---|---|---|

| Total Income for Commerce Business | 51,529,380 | 59,269,204 | (13.1%) |
Note: (1) Others mainly include various fast-moving consumer goods.
The Group's revenue from the commerce business segment, decreased by 13.1% from RMB59,269.2 million in 2024 to RMB51,529.4 million in 2025.
The change in revenue from the commerce business segment was mainly due to the Group's proactive promotion of strategic transformation and business restructuring. During the Reporting Period, the Group focused on profit and cash flow, resolutely implemented a "strategic streamlining" initiative, divested resources from the low value-added "logistics intermediary" role, and concentrated efforts on the high-growth "technology-enabled" and "private brand" sectors. This forward-looking adjustment was made to achieve more sustainable compound growth in the future. It is specifically reflected in the following aspects:
(i) Proactive optimization of business structure and exit from inefficient sectors. Committed to sound operations, the Group proactively scaled back inefficient businesses, including new energy complete vehicles and tires in the transportation sector, traditional home building materials businesses dragged down by the real estate cycle, and highly volatile feed businesses in the agricultural production materials sector. These proactive adjustments constituted the main reason for the periodic decline in the Group's revenue.
(ii) Improved profit quality against the market trend with remarkable results from structural adjustment. Although revenue scale decreased, the gross profit of the Group's commerce business reached RMB1.72 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of nearly 5%; the gross profit margin of the commerce business rose to 3.3%, representing a year-on-year increase of over 18%. The "decline in revenue and rise in profitability" fully validated the positive effects of the proactive business restructuring.
(iii) Deepened cooperation with leading brands and continuously enhanced supply chain bargaining power. The Group continued to strengthen strategic cooperation with leading brand manufacturers such as Apple, Shandong Ruixing, Ningxia Lanfeng, etc. The procurement proportion from leading brands steadily increased to over 50%, further consolidating the supply chain foundation and providing strong support for the improvement of gross profit margin.
(iv) Expanded private brand portfolio and increased contribution from high-margin businesses. During the Reporting Period, the Group's self-owned brands revenue exceeded RMB140 million, up 37% year-on-year, with a gross profit margin of over 40%. Among them, brands such as "Peach Blossom (桃花潭)", "Forbidden City (故宫)" and "IDISSA (阿爾蒂沙)" gained wide recognition in the lower-tier markets, and self-owned brands have become an important engine driving the improvement of gross profit margin.
Overall, the Group's proactive strategic transformation has yielded initial results. Although the overall revenue scale decreased, profit quality and core capabilities have been comprehensively enhanced. With the continuous optimization of business structure, deepened cooperation with leading brands, expanded development of self-owned brands and new businesses, the Group is steadily advancing into a new stage of high-quality development.
Service Business
| Year ended December 31, | Year-on-year change | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 RMB'000 | 2024 RMB'000 | ||

| Merchant solutions | 132,252 | 99,623 | 32.8% |

Revenue from the service business of the Group was mainly from subscription services and merchant solutions. Among these, revenue from subscription services includes revenue from digital products and AI products and services.
(i) The decrease of revenue from digital products was primarily due to the fact that the Group actively promoted the transformation from SaaS to AI empowerment, and made some SaaS functions free of charge to lower the threshold for member stores to accelerate user coverage. During the Reporting Period, the total number of subscribers increased to 116,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 7.5%, which cultivated scenarios for large-scale application of AI products.
(ii) In the same period, revenue from AI products and services recorded breakthrough growth, achieving RMB106.2 million, accounting for nearly 20% of total service revenue, mainly benefiting from the Group's further implementation of the ALL in AI strategy. AI products and services precisely addressed the operational challenges of physical stores by leveraging the diverse application scenarios in the lower-tier markets, achieving significant commercialization results.
(iii) Revenue from merchant solutions increased by 32.8% from RMB99.6 million in 2024 to RMB132.3 million in 2025, mainly attributable to the Group advancing its key client strategy and enhancing digital solutions for major customers such as brand owners and chain enterprises. Its customer base expanded from offline stores to online e-commerce merchants, driving rapid growth in revenue from merchant solutions.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
The Group's cost of revenue decreased by 13.5% from RMB57,750.4 million in 2024 to RMB49,965.9 million in 2025, which is in line with the change of revenue. The gross profit increased by 1.0% from RMB2,308.9 million in 2024 to RMB2,331.5 million in 2025. The Group's gross profit margin increased from 3.8% in 2024 to 4.5% in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 0.7 percentage points, or 18%. Such increase was mainly attributable to the Group's proactive optimisation of its business structure, with resources increasingly allocated to higher-margin product categories, as well as the deepening of strategic cooperation with leading brands which further enhanced supply chain capabilities, coupled with the initial results achieved from the establishment of the Group's self-owned brand portfolio. These factors collectively drove a significant improvement in the Group's gross profit margin.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 10.5% from RMB1,075.4 million in 2024 to RMB962.2 million in 2025, which was mainly attributable to the Group's continuous efforts to enhance refined operations, as well as the steady improvement in sales and marketing efficiency achieved through optimizing resource allocation and strengthening expense control.

Administrative and other operating expenses decreased by 10.0% from RMB364.3 million in 2024 to RMB328.1 million in 2025, mainly benefiting from the Group's continuous promotion of cost reduction and efficiency improvement, leading to a significant improvement in organizational efficiency.

Impairment Loss on Trade and Other Receivables
The impairment loss on trade and other receivables increased by 19.5% from RMB304.7 million in 2024 to RMB364.3 million in 2025, which was mainly due to the Group's increased provision for expected credit losses on certain receivables with longer aging.
Other Revenue
Other revenue decreased by 29.3% from RMB43.2 million in 2024 to RMB30.5 million in 2025, mainly due to the decrease in government grants.
Other Net Gains
Other net gains decreased by 22.8% from RMB57.4 million in 2024 to RMB44.3 million in 2025, primarily due to a decline in income from wealth management products affected by the downward trend of market interest rates.
Net Finance Costs
Net finance costs increased by 4.5% from a net expense of RMB78.2 million in 2024 to a net expense of RMB81.7 million in 2025, mainly due to a decrease in interest income affected by the downward trend of market interest rates.
Income Tax
Income tax increased by 39.8% from RMB57.5 million in 2024 to RMB80.4 million in 2025. The increase in income tax expense in 2025 was primarily due to the increase in profit before tax as compared to last year.
The consolidated tax rate based on profit before tax was 13.2%, representing a slight increase from 11.1% as compared to last year.
The management of the Company considers that the effective tax rate applied by the Group during the Reporting Period was at a reasonable level.

NOTES
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
匯通達網絡股份有限公司 Huitongda Network Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on December 6, 2010 as a limited liability company. Upon approval by the Company’s board meeting held on November 16, 2015, the Company was converted from a limited liability company into a joint stock limited liability company. The Company’s H shares were listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on February 18, 2022.
The Company and its subsidiaries (together, “the Group”) are principally engaged in sales of a comprehensive suite of merchandise in the PRC and provision of intelligent business and marketing subscription service, offering merchant solutions and rendering other various related services.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, which collective term includes all applicable individual International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (the “IASs”) and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”), using the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The consolidated financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
The financial information relating to the year ended December 31, 2025 that is included in this annual results announcement does not constitute the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 but is derived from those financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 comprise the Group and the Group’s interests in associates and a joint venture.
In October 2025, the Group agreed to acquire the entire equity interest of Jiangsu 511 Retail Chain Management Co., Ltd. (“Jiangsu 511”), which is principally engaged in investing in companies selling snacks, daily consumer goods and other merchandises in the PRC, from Five Star Holdings Group Co., Ltd. at a consideration of RMB3,236,000.
Upon completion of the acquisition, Jiangsu 511 became a subsidiary of the Group. As Jiangsu 511 and the Group was ultimately controlled by the same party before and after the business combination and the control is not transitory, the acquisition of Jiangsu 511 was considered as a business combination involving entities under common control.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been therefore prepared using the merger basis of accounting as if the current group structure had been in existence throughout the periods presented. The net assets of Jiangsu 511 have been consolidated using the existing book values from the perspective of controlling party. Comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements are presented as if the entities or businesses had been combined at the beginning of the comparative period unless the combining entities or businesses first came under common control at a later date.
The consolidated statement of profit or loss and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income include the results of combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control combination. The consolidated statement of profit or loss and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income also take into account the profit or loss attributable to the non-controlling interest recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the controlling party. The effects of all transactions between the combining entities or businesses, whether occurring before or after the common combination, are eliminated. Comparatives for the year ended December 31, 2024 were not restated as Jiangsu 511 was established on August 25, 2025.
A uniform set of accounting policies is adopted when preparing the consolidated financial statements.
3 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Group has applied amendments to IAS 21, The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates – Lack of exchangeability issued by the IASB to these financial statements for the current accounting period. The amendments do not have a material impact on these financial statements as the Group has not entered into any foreign currency transactions in which the foreign currency is not exchangeable into another currency.
The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.
4 REVENUE AND SEGMENT REPORTING
(a) Revenue
The principal activities of the Group are sales of a comprehensive suite of merchandise in the PRC and provision of intelligent business and marketing subscription service, offering merchant solutions and rendering other various related services.

| | 52,297,458 | 60,059,328 |
The Group’s customer base is diversified and nil (2024: nil) of the customers with whom transactions have exceeded 10% of the Group’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025.
(ii) Revenue expected to be recognized in the future arising from contracts with customers in existence at the reporting date
The Group has applied the practical expedient in paragraph 121 of IFRS 15 to its sales contracts for goods and services such that information about revenue expected to be recognized in the future is not disclosed in respect of revenue that the Group will be entitled to when it satisfies the remaining performance obligations under these contracts that had an expected duration of one year or less.
(b) Segment reporting
The Group manages its businesses by divisions, which are organized by business lines. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has presented the following three reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments.
Commerce business
The commerce business segment, which mainly represents the direct sales of merchandise.
Service business
The service business segment, which mainly represents the provision of intelligent business and marketing subscription service and a collection of merchant solutions.
Others
Revenues from the others are primarily derived from other services rendered by the Group.
23
(i) Segment results, assets and liabilities
For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Group’s senior executive management monitors the results attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:
Revenue and cost are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to sales generated by those segments and the costs incurred by those segments or which otherwise arise from the depreciation of certain assets attributable to those segments. The measure used for reporting segment profit is gross profit.
There were no separate segment assets and segment liabilities information provided to the Group’s most senior executive management as Group’s most senior executive management does not use this information to allocate resources to or evaluate the performance of the operating segments.
Information regarding the Group’s reportable segments as provided to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purpose of recourse allocated and assessment of segment performance for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is set out below.
| 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commerce business RMB’000 | Service business RMB’000 | Others RMB’000 | Total RMB’000 | |
| Reportable segment revenue | 51,529,380 | 553,252 | 214,826 | 52,297,458 |

| Reportable segment revenue | 59,269,467 | 610,474 | 179,387 | 60,059,328 |
| Reportable segment profit | 1,639,455 | 529,371 | 140,069 | 2,308,895 |
The reconciliation of gross profit to profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is shown in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.
(ii) Geographic information
IFRS 8, Operating Segments, requires identification and disclosure of information about an entity’s geographical areas, regardless of the entity’s organization (i.e. even if the entity has a single reportable segment). The Group operates within one geographical location because primarily all of its revenue was generated in the PRC and primarily all of its non-current assets and capital expenditure were located/incurred in the PRC. Accordingly, no geographical information is presented.

8 EARNINGS PER SHARE
(a) Basic earnings per share
The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the Company of RMB300,294,000 (2024: RMB269,738,000). The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic earnings per share is calculated as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Issued ordinary shares at the beginning of the year | 562,569,837 | 562,569,837 |
| Treasury shares at the beginning of the year | (8,322,910) | (3,450,400) |
| Effect of purchase of own shares (Note 19) | (77,410) | (4,732,641) |
| Effect of vested shares under the RSU Scheme (Note 17) | - | 41,632 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares at the end of the year for the purpose of basic earnings per share | 554,169,517 | 554,428,428 |
(b) Diluted earnings per share
The calculation of the diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the Company of RMB300,294,000 (2024: RMB269,738,000) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 554,169,517 shares (2024: 554,428,428 shares).
During the year ended December 31, 2024, diluted earnings per share was the same as the basic earnings per share as there were no dilutive potential ordinary shares issued.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the dilutive potential ordinary shares of the Share Option Scheme (as defined in Note 17) were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise price of the Share Option Scheme is higher than the average market price of the ordinary shares of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2025. Accordingly, diluted earnings per share was the same as basic earnings per share of the year ended December 31, 2025.

Impairment tests for cash-generating units containing goodwill
For the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, goodwill arising from the business combination was allocated to the appropriate cash-generation units ("CGU") of the Group identified in Tibet Boundary Information Technology Co., Ltd. ("Boundary") and its subsidiaries (together, "Boundary Group") business acquired by the Group in 2025.
Goodwill is allocated to the Group's CGU as follows:

| --- | --- | --- |
| Boundary Group | 359,791 | - |
The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations. The group engaged an independent professional valuer to assist with the calculation. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a perpetual growth rate of 2.0% which is consistent with the forecasts included in industry reports. The key assumptions used in estimating the recoverable amount are as follows:
2025
| Revenue growth rate (average during the forecast period) | 12.7% |
|---|---|
| Operating profit margin (average during the forecast period) | 25.1% |

The fair value of the equity interests subscribed was measured by reference to the third party valuer’s valuation report.

(a) The terms and conditions of the grants are as follows:
| Number of instruments | Vesting conditions | Contractual life of options | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Options granted to employees and service providers: | |||
| - on May 21, 2025 | 18,000,000 | Graded vest of 7,200,000 options on June 1, 2026, 5,400,000 options on June 1, 2027 and 5,400,000 options on June 1, 2028, respectively and subject to performance conditions | 1.61-3.61 years |
(b) The number and weighted average exercise prices of share options are as follows:
| At December 31, 2025 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Weighted average exercise price HK$ | Number of options | |
| Outstanding at the beginning of the year | – | – |
| Grant during the year | 19.30 | 18,000,000 |
| Outstanding at the end of the year | 19.30 | 18,000,000 |
| Exercisable at the end of the year | – | – |
No options were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025. The options outstanding as at December 31, 2025 had an exercise price of HK$19.30 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 1.90 years.
(c) Fair value of share options and assumptions
The fair value of services received in return for share options granted is measured by reference to the fair value of share options granted. The estimate of the fair value of the share options granted is measured based on a binomial lattice model. The contractual life of the share option is used as an input into this model. Expectations of early exercise are incorporated into the binomial lattice model.
At date of grant
| Fair value at measurement date | HK$3.91 – HK$5.61 per share option |
|---|---|
| Share price | HK$19.30 per share |
| Exercise price | HK$19.30 per share |
| Expected volatility (expressed as weighted average volatility used in the modelling under binomial lattice model) | 35.23%-38.31% |
| Option life (expressed as weighted average life used in the modelling under binomial lattice model) | 1.61-3.61 years |
| Expected dividends | – |
| Risk-free interest rate | 1.87%-2.10% |
The expected volatility is based on the historic volatility (calculated based on the weighted average remaining life of the share options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility based on publicly available information. Expected dividends are based on historical dividends. Changes in the subjective input assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate.
Share options were granted under a service condition. This condition has not been taken into account in the grant date fair value measurement of the services received. There were no market conditions associated with the share option grants.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the total expenses recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the Share Option Scheme are RMB26,642,000.
