VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT BUSINESS UPDATE

This is a voluntary announcement made by Linklogis Inc. (the "Company") to provide its shareholders and potential investors with certain business update of the Company and its subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entities (the "Group").

CEO Comment

Despite a challenging start to 2025, marked by headwinds in the supply chain asset-backed securities market, the Group remains steadfast in executing our strategic priorities and driving sustainable value creation. In the first quarter of this year, while our AMS Cloud and ABS Cloud businesses experienced temporary volume declines due to subdued market sentiment and delayed issuances, we achieved meaningful progress in product innovation, operational efficiency and strategic realignment, laying a strong foundation for the full year. Our Multi-tier Transfer Cloud continued to deliver healthy growth, with transaction volume expanding robustly. In line with our "focus and simplify" strategy, we completed the divestiture of the SME Credit Tech Solutions during the quarter. This move allows us to reallocate resources toward high-growth verticals, such as cross-border supply chain finance technology solutions. Additionally, we proactively reduced low-margin product lines in the e-chain Cloud, prioritizing profitability over scale – a decision that aligns with our long-term value-centric approach.


In the first quarter, we further advanced on AI application and product innovation. Our newly launched AI Agent "BeeLink AI" has been deployed across multiple financial institutions. We expanded our Cross-border Cloud offerings, and made investments in India, UK and US to beef up our global presence, which saw a $25\%$ year-on-year increase in transaction volume. Although the total transaction volume growth in the first quarter moderated to $7\%$ year-on-year, we are encouraged by early signs of recovery in the supply chain asset-backed securities market and strong pipelines in the Multi-tier Transfer Cloud. Our initiatives for 2025 remains clear, including accelerating AI commercialization, global expansion and strategic M&A. We are confident that these actions, combined with our resilient balance sheet and industry-leading market position, will drive a progressive recovery in the latter quarters of the year.

Cross-border Cloud2 2,304.5 1,838.22 25.4
TOTAL: 100,037.5 93,536.53 7.0

Notes:

  1. Aligned with the strategic plan to focus on core business segments, we initiated a restructuring of the SME Credit Tech segment, which has no longer been consolidated into the Group's financial statements since February 1, 2025. As such, the SME Credit Tech Solutions are no longer disclosed as part of the Group's Emerging Solutions.
  2. We restated this number for a given period to refer to the total amount of financing enabled by, instead of the total volume of supply chain assets processed by, the Cross-border Cloud during that period. Since the beginning of 2025, we took strategic moves, such as developing new financing solutions, streamlining operations and divesting non-core businesses to enhance our global trade finance capabilities of the Cross-border Cloud. In light of the recent developments in the Cross-border Cloud segment, we believe that the total amount of financing enabled by the Cross-border Cloud will be a more meaningful metric for capturing the business update in the segment.
  3. This figure has been adjusted to exclude the total amount of financing enabled by SME Credit Tech Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2024, that is, RMB205.4 million.

The above data may therefore differ from the figures to be disclosed in the audited or unaudited consolidated financial statements to be published by the Group on an annual or a half-yearly basis due to various uncertainties during the process of collecting such information.
