The address of the Company’s registered office is Room 303, 3/F, Block A, Heying Centre, Building 1, No. 10 Xiaoying West Road, Haidian District, Beijing, the PRC.
The Company has changed its English name from “Beijing Fourth Paradigm Technology Co., Ltd” to “Phancy Group Co., Ltd.” with effect from January 7, 2026 and the name in Chinese from “北京第四範式智能技術股份有限公司” to “範式智能技術集團股份有限公司” with effect from February 4, 2026 in Hong Kong.
The Company is an investment holding company. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) are primarily engaged in operation of AI platform, and provision of API and Agentic AI Services in the PRC and certain overseas countries and regions.
Dr. Dai Wenyuan is the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Group as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is also the functional currency of the Company.
2 APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Amendments to an IFRS Accounting Standard that are mandatorily effective for the current year
In the current year, the Group has applied the following amendments to an IFRS Accounting Standard as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the Group’s annual period beginning on January 1, 2025 for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:
| Amendments to IAS 21 | Lack of Exchangeability |
|---|---|
| The application of the amendments to an IFRS Accounting Standard in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements. |
New and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective
The Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:

|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 | Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity² |

- Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined.
- Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
- Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
Except for the new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards mentioned below, the directors of the Company anticipate that the application of all other new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements, will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This new IFRS Accounting Standard, while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1, introduces new requirements to present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss; provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements and improve aggregation and disaggregation information to be disclosed in the financial statements. In addition, some IAS 1 paragraphs have been moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (the title of which will be changed to Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements upon effective of IFRS 18) and IFRS 17. Minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share are also made.
IFRS 18, and amendments to other standards, will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions. The application of new standard is not expected to have significant impact on the financial performance and positions of the Group in terms of recognition and measurement. However, it is expected to affect the structure and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
3 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). For the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, information is considered material if such information is reasonably expected to influence decisions made by primary users. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
4 SEGMENT INFORMATION AND REVENUE
The Group’s business activities primarily involve the operation of AI platform, and provision of API and Agentic AI services in the PRC.
The Group’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated results when making strategic decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group as a whole and hence, the Group has only one reportable segment. The Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reports. As substantially all of the Group’s non-current assets are located in the PRC and substantially all of the Group’s revenue are derived from the PRC based on the delivery location of the goods and services, no geographical information is presented.

7 INCOME TAX CREDIT/(EXPENSES)
The income tax credit/(expenses) of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are analysed as follows:
| Year ended December 31, | ||

| 2025 | ||

8 LOSS PER SHARE
The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the respective years. In determining the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue, treasury stock and shares held for share award schemes are excluded from the calculation.
Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. As the Group incurred losses for both years, the potential ordinary shares were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Hence, diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are the same as basic loss per share for the respective years.
| Year ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Loss attributable to owners of the Company (RMB’000) | (26,266) | (268,788) |

Revenue
As a steadily growing and developing AI software company, Phancy has further expanded its industry influence and business presence through our robust technological expertise and domain application experience. The Company has currently established three core business segments: AI Platform, API business and Agentic AI business. During the Reporting Period, our total revenue amounted to RMB7,135.3 million (same period in 2024: RMB5,260.7 million), representing a year-on-year increase of $35.6\%$ , mainly due to substantial revenue growth from AI platform. For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue from AI platform amounted to RMB6,552.2 million, representing a year-on-year increase of $32.0\%$ and accounting for $91.8\%$ of our total revenue. Revenue from API business amounted to RMB79.9 million, representing a year-on-year increase of $129.2\%$ and accounting for $1.1\%$ of our total revenue.

The following table sets forth a breakdown of our revenue by business segment for the periods indicated.
| Year ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 RMB in millions | 2024 RMB in millions | Change | |
| AI Platform | 6,552.2 | 4,965.4 | 32.0% |
| API business | 79.9 | 34.9 | 129.2% |
| Agentic AI business | 503.2 | 260.4 | 93.2% |
| Total | 7,135.3 | 5,260.7 | 35.6% |
AI Platform
During the Reporting Period, revenue from AI Platform amounted to RMB6,552.2 million (same period in 2024: RMB4,965.4 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 32.0%, mainly due to the increasing demand in the overall AI market and the empowerment of our products through the Company’s large model and generative AI capabilities. The proportion of revenue from AI platform to total revenue decreased from 94.4% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 91.8% for the year ended December 31, 2025.
API Business
During the Reporting Period, revenue from API business amounted to RMB79.9 million (same period in 2024: RMB34.9 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 129.2%. The proportion of revenue from API business to total revenue increased from 0.7% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 1.1% for the year ended December 31, 2025, mainly due to our rising demand in the overall AI market.
Agentic AI Business
During the Reporting Period, revenue from Agentic AI business amounted to RMB503.2 million (same period in 2024: RMB260.4 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 93.2%. The proportion of revenue from Agentic AI business to total revenue increased from 5.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 7.1% for the year ended December 31, 2025. This growth was primarily attributed to our strategic expansion pace for the high added value solutions and services.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales primarily includes: (1) cost of finished goods sold, primarily representing procurement cost of hardware components from third-party vendors, (2) technology service fees, primarily representing technology implementation costs paid to third-party service providers for delivery, deployment and installation of customized AI applications that we develop at users’ request, (3) employee benefit expenses, representing wages and benefits of our implementation and maintenance personnel for our enterprise AI solutions, and (4) others.
During the Reporting Period, our cost of sales amounted to RMB4,651.9 million (same period in 2024: RMB3,015.8 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 54.2%. Our cost of sales increased in line with the growth in our total revenue, mainly driven by our hardware procurement costs.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Our gross profit increased by 10.6% from RMB2,244.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB2,483.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our gross profit margin decreased from 42.7% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 34.8% for the year ended December 31, 2025, mainly due to the changes in the Company’s product portfolio compared to the previous year.

- 24 -
Selling and Marketing Expenses
During the Reporting Period, our selling and marketing expenses amounted to RMB205.2 million (same period in 2024: RMB268.7 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 23.6%. This reduction was primarily due to the optimization of our brand promotion strategy, which allowed us to meet brand promotion needs while appropriately controlling marketing and brand promotion activity costs.
Administrative Expenses
During the Reporting Period, our administrative expenses amounted to RMB154.4 million (same period in 2024: RMB193.3 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 20.2%, mainly due to the decrease of employee benefit expenses and professional services.
Research and Development Expenses
We continuously invest in the development and enhancement of our solutions and technologies as in the past. During the Reporting Period, the Group’s total research and development expenses further increased, reaching RMB2,337.4 million (same period in 2024: RMB2,169.8 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 7.7%, mainly due to increase of cloud service fees and decrease of technology service fees.
Provision for credit loss allowance, net
Our provision for credit loss allowance, net primarily includes impairment losses on trade receivables, contract assets, and other receivables.
During the Reporting Period, our provision for credit loss allowance, net amounted to RMB17.4 million (same period in 2024: RMB200.0 million), mainly due to the decrease of trade receivable balance and the enhancement of our collection management. In accordance with our accounting policy and relevant internal management system, we have made prudent provision for bad debts and will continue to closely monitor the recovery of receivables.
Other Income
Our other income primarily includes (i) government grants; and (ii) value-added tax refunds and other tax rebates.
During the Reporting Period, our other income amounted to RMB96.2 million (same period in 2024: RMB120.1 million).
Other gains or losses, net
Other gains or losses, net primarily include (i) fair value changes of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) net foreign exchange gains/(losses); (iii) net gains on disposal/dilution of investments accounted for using the equity method; and (iv) net gains on partial disposal of subsidiaries.
During the Reporting Period, our other gains, net amounted to RMB1.2 million (same period in 2024: other gains, net of RMB111.7 million), mainly due to increase of foreign exchange losses and the decline of gains on partial disposal of subsidiaries.
Operating Loss
Due to the above factors, during the Reporting Period, our operating loss amounted to RMB133.5 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 62.4% (same period in 2024: operating loss of RMB355.1 million).
Finance Income
During the Reporting Period, our finance income amounted to RMB77.3 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 49.1% (same period in 2024: RMB51.9 million), which was mainly due to the Company having conducted two placings during the Reporting Period, resulting in an increase in cash on hand.
Finance Costs
During the Reporting Period, our finance costs amounted to RMB1.0 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 83.2% (same period in 2024: RMB6.1 million), mainly due to decrease of interest expense on borrowings and interest expense on payable for acquisition of subsidiaries recognized last year.
Loss for the Year
Due to the above factors, during the Reporting Period, our loss for the year amounted to approximately RMB37.8 million (same period in 2024: loss for the year of RMB296.3 million).
Non-IFRS Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), we use adjusted net loss (a non-IFRS measure) as an additional financial metric. We believe that these non-IFRS measures facilitate comparisons of operating performance from period to period and company to company by eliminating potential impacts of certain items. We believe that these measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as they help our management. However, presentation of adjusted net loss (a non-IFRS measure) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The use of these non-IFRS measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider them in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, our results of operations or financial conditions as reported under IFRS.

Adjusted Net Profit/(Loss)

Our net current assets increased from RMB3,192.8 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB5,383.3 million as of December 31, 2025, mainly due to increase of current cash resources and decrease of trade payables.
Capital Management and Gearing Ratio
As of December 31, 2025, our gearing ratio (calculated as total borrowings divided by total equity attributable to equity holders of the Company) was approximately 2.7% (December 31, 2024: 0.1%). Our gearing ratio increased mainly due to the increase of borrowings. After taking into account the Group’s future business plans and the macroeconomic environment, we may seek debt or equity financing as necessary to continuously optimize our capital structure.
Capital Commitments
As of December 31, 2025, our capital commitments related to equity investments amounted to RMB4.0 million (December 31, 2024: RMB4.0 million).
Contingent Liabilities
As at December 31, 2025, we did not have any material contingent liabilities.
Pledge of Assets
As of December 31, 2025, except for restricted cash of RMB0.5 million as security deposits mainly for bidding, issuance of letter of guarantee or bank acceptance bills, the Group had no material pledge of assets.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The functional currency of the Company and its major subsidiaries is RMB. The majority of the Group’s revenue is derived from operations in the PRC. Foreign exchange risk primarily arises from recognized assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Group’s entities. Fluctuations in exchange rates between RMB and other currencies during the Group’s operations may impact its financial position and operating results. The foreign exchange risk facing the Group mainly comes from the US dollars/RMB and Hong Kong dollars/RMB exchange rates. As of December 31, 2025, the Group did not hold any financial instruments for hedging purposes, nor did it hold any foreign currency investments hedged through currency borrowings or other hedging instruments.

Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit risk in relation to our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, term bank deposits, investments in debt instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets. The carrying amounts of each class of the above financial assets and contract assets represent our maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets and contract assets.
To manage risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, term bank deposits and investments in debt instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, we only transact with state-owned banks and reputable or licensed financial institutions. There has been no recent history of default in relation to these financial institutions.
To manage risk arising from trade receivables and contract assets, we have policies in place to ensure that sales with credit terms are made to counterparties with an appropriate credit history and the management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its counterparties. We usually grant a credit term no more than 90 days and the credit quality of these customers is assessed by taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
For other receivables, management makes periodic collective assessments as well as individual assessment on the recoverability of other receivables based on historical settlement records and past experiences. In view of the history of cooperation with debtors and the sound collection history of receivables due from them, the management believes that the credit risk inherent in the Group's outstanding other receivables balances due from them is low.
Fund and Working Capital Management
Our funds and liquidity management are centrally carried out by our finance department. Our finance department is generally responsible for overall management and implementation of funds, including formulating the capital management policy for the Group, guiding, coordinating and standardizing the fund management of regional companies, making annual funding plans, reviewing and summarizing annual capital budget, overseeing and assessing fund management of each regional company. We have also adopted sophisticated fund management policies and implemented a set of rules and guidelines on fund management to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of fund management, thereby ensuring our financial security and reducing cost of capital.
To manage our idle cash on hand, we primarily purchase and redeem wealth management products using them as our "cash pool" from which we could readily access cash as needed and generate higher yield than bank deposits. The underlying financial assets of the wealth management products in which we invested primarily consist of the low-risk wealth management products issued by state-owned banks or other high-quality reputable banks in the PRC. The amount of the purchase will be determined based on our surplus funds. We consistently comply with our treasury policy during the procedures of purchasing the wealth management products and managing the relevant departments, as well as in conducting business, accounting and filing.
We are committed to safeguarding overall financial security and maintaining strong cash position and a healthy debt profile with strong repayment ability. By adopting a full, reasonable and professional assessment mechanism, preparing annual and monthly funding plans, we have established prudent fund management principle, which allows us to efficiently manage market risks.
MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS OF SUBSIDIARIES, ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES
During the Reporting Period, we did not make any material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, associates, or joint ventures.
FUTURE PLANS FOR SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS AND CAPITAL ASSETS
Except as disclosed in this announcement and the Prospectus, as at the date of this announcement, we did not have any plans for significant investments or capital assets.
EMPLOYEES
As at December 31, 2025, we had a total of 619 employees (as at December 31, 2024: 967 employees). Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. During the Reporting Period, the total staff costs of the Group amounted to approximately RMB275.7 million, including wages, salaries, bonuses, share-based compensation expenses, pension costs, other social security costs, housing benefits and other employee benefits. We provide various incentives and benefits to our employees. We offer competitive salaries, bonuses and share-based compensation to our employees, especially key employees.
As required under PRC regulations, we participate in various employee social security plans that are organized by applicable local municipal and provincial governments, including housing, pension, medical, work-related injury, maternity, and unemployment benefit plans.
To maintain the quality, knowledge and skill levels of our workforce, we provide continuing education and training programs, including internal and external training, for our employees to improve their technical, professional or management skills. We also provide training programs to our employees from time to time to ensure their awareness and compliance with our policies and procedures in various aspects.
Prior to the Listing, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of the Employee Incentive Scheme on April 25, 2021. After the Listing, the Company adopted an equity incentive scheme (the "Equity Incentive Scheme") on September 19, 2024. The Equity Incentive Scheme consists of the H-Share Restricted Share Unit Scheme and the Partnership Employee Stock Ownership Plan of the Company. In addition, the Company adopted the Share Option Scheme on September 19, 2024. We have granted and may grant options or share-based incentive awards to our employees in the future to incentivize their contributions to our growth and development.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board is committed to achieving good standards of corporate governance.
The Board believes that good corporate governance standards are essential for providing the Company with a framework to safeguard shareholders’ interests, enhance corporate value, formulate business strategies and policies, and improve transparency and accountability.
The Company has adopted the principles and code provisions under Part 2 of the Corporate Governance Code (the “CG Code”) contained in Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules as the basis of the Company’s corporate governance practices.
In the opinion of the Directors, during the Reporting Period, the Company has complied with all code provisions set out in the CG Code save as the code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code as set out below:

The Company has not separated the roles of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, and currently, Dr. Dai holds both positions. Dr. Dai has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of our Company since 2015. He has extensive experience in the business operations and management of our Group and in the AI industry. Given his experience, personal qualifications, and role in the Company, the Board believes that Dr. Dai is the most suitable Director to identify strategic opportunities and serve as the core of the Board due to his comprehensive understanding of our business as the Chief Executive Officer. The Board also believes that having the same individual serve as both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer can (i) ensure unified leadership within the Group, (ii) make the Board's overall strategic planning and execution of strategic measures more effective and efficient, and (iii) facilitate the flow of information between management and the Board. The Board believes that the current arrangement will not impair the balance of power and authority, and this arrangement will enable the Company to make and implement decisions swiftly and effectively. The Board will continue to review and, taking into account the overall situation of the Group, consider separating the roles of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer at an appropriate time.
The Company will continue to regularly review and monitor its corporate governance practices to ensure compliance with the CG Code and maintain high standards of corporate governance.
Save as disclosed herein, the Group has complied with the code provisions set out in the CG Code throughout the Reporting Period and up to the date of this announcement.
