BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Review of our core strategic deployment and key achievements in 2025
2025 was an extremely challenging yet highly productive year for RoboSense.
Starting from the first quarter of 2025, our cooperation with one major OEM and one Tier-1 supplier was suspended.
At the same time, we observed highly positive signals in LiDAR industry. On one hand, intelligent driving technologies and commercial applications gradually formed a reinforcing cycle, driving a sharp surge in the demand for LiDAR. On the other hand, the rapid development of robotics and physical AI has led to the emerging of different LiDAR application scenarios, and each application scenario is expanding at a scale comparable to the size of the automotive market. We firmly believe that 2025 marked an inflection point for LiDAR industry and a critical year for our business development. It represented a key window for the Company to expand our businesses to other markets and the optimal time to optimize our business structure so as to mitigate performance volatility from over-reliance on a single market or a small number of key customers. In 2025, we led the industry into the digital era of LiDAR.
In the first quarter of 2025, leveraging our long-accumulated digital architecture, we launched a full portfolio of digital LiDAR products including EMX, EM4, E1R and Airy, officially initiating the paradigm shift of LiDAR from analog to digital architecture. This technological transformation is revolutionary, analogous to the shift from film cameras to digital cameras. In terms of resolution, it is challenging for traditional analog architecture using discrete components to mass produce LiDAR products that exceed 128 laser-beam channels. In contrast, digital LiDAR can easily surpass 1,000 laser-beam channels, while maintaining high cost-performance. Digital LiDAR fundamentally overturns the stereotype that LiDAR is limited in performance and prohibitively expensive.
In the second quarter of 2025, we started our market expansion activities. To date, our digital LiDAR products have achieved encouraging progress across Robotaxi, ADAS and general robotics segments, securing a large number of purchase orders.
In the third quarter of 2025, alongside with our market expansion strategy, we also fully focused on preparing for mass production of digital LiDAR products, including production capacity expansion and supply chain optimization, making final preparations for large-scale product delivery expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025. During this quarter, a series of our self-developed semi-conductor chips obtained automotive-grade certification, and were ready for product reliability verification. Production lines for the digital LiDAR products launched in the first half of 2025 began the trial production operations. Products delivery performance in the first three quarters of 2025 largely reflected the final phase of legacy analog products. The mass production readiness and order backlog of digital products are the key factors to define and determine our future.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, all these efforts came to fruition – large-scale delivery of digital LiDAR products to customers officially commenced for the first time. In the automotive sector, both EM4 and EMX products entered into large-scale mass production stage. Notably, we helped Zeekr and IM Motors become the first SOP vehicles equipped with LiDAR featuring more than 500 laser-beam channels, achieving L4 level LiDAR perception capability. In the general robotics sector, we also saw exponential growth. E1R and Airy Lite both entered into large-scale mass production stage. We helped customers deploy high-performance solid-state LiDAR technology at scale in different robotics applications, and achieved a quarterly product shipment exceeding 200,000 units. Technological breakthrough, market expansion and production capacity readiness were all realized in the fourth quarter of 2025, resulting in our quarterly LiDAR shipment volume hitting a record high. We completed the full cycle from strategic layout to commercial harvest.
Review of our key achievements by business sector in 2025
Robotaxi
Our “EM4 main LiDAR + E1 blind-spot LiDAR” combination, relying on their industry-leading performance and high level of product and technology sophistication, quickly became the preferred solution for Robotaxi customers.

The share of net loss was primarily due to the operating loss incurred by one of our associates in 2025.
Impairment Loss of an Associate Accounted for Using the Equity Method
Impairment loss of an associate accounted for using the equity method increased to RMB16.5 million in 2025 from nil in 2024. The loss was primarily due to the impairment of the goodwill incurred by one of our associates in 2025. Please refer to Note 7 in this announcement.
Net Loss
Our net loss decreased by about 69.9% to RMB145.0 million in 2025 from RMB481.8 million in 2024.
Non-IFRS Measure
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, we also use adjusted net loss (non-IFRS measure) as an additional financial measure, which is not required by, or presented in accordance with IFRS. We believe this non-IFRS measure facilitates comparisons of operating performance from year to year and company to company by eliminating potential impacts of items, and provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as they help our management. However, our presentation of adjusted net loss (non-IFRS measure) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The use of this non-IFRS measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for an analysis of, our results of operations or financial condition as reported under IFRS. We define adjusted net loss (non-IFRS measure) as net loss for the period adjusted by adding back share-based compensation, fair value changes in financial instruments issued to investors and listing expenses.
The following table reconciles our adjusted net loss (non-IFRS measure) for the periods presented with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, which is net loss for the period:

1 General information
RoboSense Technology Co., Ltd (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are principally engaged in (i) developing and producing LiDAR products for applications in advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”), as well as robotics and others, (ii) LiDAR perception solutions, combing LiDAR hardware and AI perception software, and (iii) services in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).
The Company is an investment holding company and was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 23, 2021 as an exempted company with limited liability. The address of the Company’s registered office is the offices of Maples Corporate Services Limited, PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands.

On April 21, 2023, Dr. Qiu Chunxin, Dr. Zhu Xiaorui, and Mr. Liu Letian (collectively the “Founders”) entered into the Concert Party Confirmation, to formalize and confirm that they have been parties acting in concert in exercising directors and shareholders’ rights of the Group and aligning their votes in the board and shareholders’ meetings of the Group since the Founders become shareholders or directors of the relevant member of the Group (whichever is earlier).
The Company’s shares have been listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited since January 5, 2024.
These financial statements are presented in thousands of Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated.
2 Basis of preparation
(i) Compliance with International Financial Reporting Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) and the disclosure requirements of HKCO
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance Cap. 622. IFRS comprise the following authoritative literature:
- International Financial Reporting Accounting Standards,
- International Accounting Standards (“IAS Standards”), and
- Interpretations developed by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC Interpretations) or its predecessor body, the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC Interpretations).
(ii) Historical cost convention
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
- certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments), that are measure at fair value.
28
(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The following amendment to standard has been adopted by the Group for the financial period beginning on January 1, 2025:
| Amendment | Subject of Amendment |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IAS 21 | Lack of Exchangeability |
The adoption of above amendment does not have material impact on the results and financial position of the Group.
(b) New and amended standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group
Certain amendments to standards have been issued but are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group during the period. The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new and amended standards and has concluded on a preliminary basis that adoption of these new and amended standards is not expected to have significant impacts on the financial performance and positions of the Group when they become effective, except for IFRS 18, which will mainly impact the presentation of consolidated financial statements.
| Amendments | Subject of amendments | Effective for accounting periods beginning on or after |
|---|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 | Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments | January 1, 2026 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 | Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity | January 1, 2026 |
| Annual improvements to IFRS – Volume 11 | Annual improvements | January 1, 2026 |
| IFRS 18 (i) | Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements | January 1, 2027 |
| IFRS 19 and Amendments | Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures | January 1, 2027 |
| Amendments to IAS 21 | Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency | January 1, 2027 |
| Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 | Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture | To be determined |
(i) IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027)
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements, introducing new requirements that will help to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities and provide more relevant information and transparency to users. Even though IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, its impacts on presentation and disclosure are expected to be pervasive, in particular those related to the statement of financial performance and providing management-defined performance measures within the financial statements.
Management is currently assessing the detailed implications of applying the new standard on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. From the high-level preliminary assessment performed, the following potential impacts have been identified:
-
Although the adoption of IFRS 18 will have no impact on the Group’s net loss, the Group expects that grouping items of income and expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income into the new categories will impact how operating profit is calculated and reported. From the high-level impact assessment that the Group has performed, the following items might potentially impact operating profit:
-
Foreign exchange differences currently aggregated in the line item ‘other gains/(losses) – net’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income might need to be disaggregated, with some foreign exchange gains or losses presented below or above operating profit.
-
IFRS 18 has specific requirements on the category in which assets generate a return individually and largely independently of other resources. Although the Group currently recognises in the line item ‘other gains/(losses) – net’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, there might be a change to where these gains or losses are recognised, and the Group is currently evaluating the need for change.
-
The line items presented on the primary financial statements might change as a result of the application of the concept of ‘useful structured summary’ and the enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation.
-
The Group does not expect there to be a significant change in the information that is currently disclosed in the notes because the requirement to disclose material information remains unchanged; however, the way in which the information is grouped might change as a result of the aggregation/disaggregation principles. In addition, there will be significant new disclosures required for:
-
management-defined performance measures;
-
a break-down of the nature of expenses for line items presented by function in the operating category of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income – this break-down is only required for certain nature expenses; and
-
for the first annual period of application of IFRS 18, a reconciliation for each line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income between the restated amounts presented by applying IFRS 18 and the amounts previously presented applying IAS 1.
-
From the consolidated statement of cash flows perspective, there will be changes to how interest received and interest paid are presented. Interest paid will be presented as financing cash flows and interest received as investing cash flows, which is a change from current presentation as part of operating cash flows.
The Group will apply the new standard from its mandatory effective date of January 1, 2027. Retrospective application is required, and so the comparative information for the financial year ending December 31, 2026 will be restated in accordance with IFRS 18.

8 Income tax expenses
(a) Cayman Islands
The Group is subject to income tax on an entity basis on profits arising in or derived from the tax jurisdictions in which members of the Group are domiciled and operate. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company is not subject to tax on either income or capital gain. Additionally, upon payments of dividends to the shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed.
(b) British Virgin Islands ("the BVI")
The Company's subsidiaries incorporated in the BVI are exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income in the BVI. There are no withholding taxes in the BVI.
(c) Hong Kong
When the subsidiary was incorporated in Hong Kong, the subsidiary was subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a rate of 16.5% for taxable income earned in Hong Kong. Commencing on April 1, 2018, the two-tiered profits tax regime took effect, under which the tax rate is 8.25% for assessable profits on the first HKD2,000,000 and 16.5% for any assessable profits in excess of HKD2,000,000. The payments of dividends to shareholders are not subject to withholding tax in Hong Kong.
(d) United States
The applicable income tax rate of United States where the Company's subsidiaries having operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is 27.98%, which is a blended state and federal rate.
(e) PRC Enterprise Income Tax
Enterprise income tax ("EIT") was made on the estimated assessable profits of entities within the Group incorporated in the PRC and was calculated in accordance with the relevant regulations of the PRC after considering the available tax benefits from refunds and allowances. The general PRC EIT rate is 25% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Certain subsidiaries of the Company in the PRC have been approved as High and New Technology Enterprises ("HNTE") under relevant tax rules and regulations, and accordingly, are subjected to a preferential EIT rate of 15% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
According to a policy promulgated by the State Tax Bureau of the PRC and effective from 2018 onwards, enterprises engaged in R&D activities are entitled to claim an additional tax deduction amounting to 75% of the qualified R&D expenses incurred in determining its tax assessable profits for that year ("Super Deduction"). Starting from October 1, 2022, the additional deduction ratio was increased to 100%.
Certain subsidiaries of the Company in the PRC were qualified as "Small Low-Profit Enterprise". The entitled subsidiaries are subject to a preferential income tax rate of 5% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
33
(f) The PRC withholding tax
Under the EIT Law enacted by the National People’s Congress of the PRC, dividends generated after January 1, 2008 and payable by a foreign investment enterprise in the PRC to its foreign investors who are non-resident enterprises are subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless any such foreign investor’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with the PRC that provides for a different withholding arrangement. Under the taxation arrangement between the PRC and Hong Kong, a qualified Hong Kong tax resident which is the “beneficial owner” and directly holds 25% or more of the equity interest in a PRC resident enterprise is entitled to a reduced withholding tax rate of 5%. The Cayman Islands, where the Company was incorporated, does not have a tax treaty with the PRC.
In accordance with accounting guidance, all undistributed earnings are presumed to be transferred to the parent company and are subject to the withholding taxes. All foreign-invested enterprises are subject to the withholding tax from January 1, 2008. The presumption may be overcome if the Group has sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the undistributed dividends will be re-invested and the remittance of the dividends will be postponed indefinitely. The Group did not record any dividend withholding tax, as it has no retained earnings for any of the year presented.
The income tax expenses of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are analyzed as below:
| Year ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| RMB’000 | RMB’000 | |

| Deferred income tax | 14,308 | – |
| Income tax expenses | 19,299 | 4,980 |
9 Loss per share
(a) Basic loss per share
Basic loss per shares is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
In determining the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue, the unvested restricted shares and treasury shares are excluded.
| Year ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Loss attributable to the owners of the Company (RMB’000) | (145,922) | (481,827) |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding | 461,546,498 | 434,594,019 |
| Basic loss per share (in RMB) | (0.32) | (1.11) |
(b) Diluted losses per share
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had one category of potential ordinary shares: share-based awards granted to employees. As the Company incurred losses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, these potential ordinary shares were not included in the calculation of loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are the same as basic loss per share.

14 Contingencies
(a) Contingent assets
The subsidiary of the Group, Shenzhen Suteng has lodged three claims against a company ("the Defendant") in November and December 2025, for misappropriation of trade secrets and infringement of patents, and seeking total damages of RMB91,000,000. All claims have been formally accepted and registered by the court. Upon legal advice, the directors concluded that the outcomes of these litigations remain uncertain at this stage. As of December 31, 2025, the Group's contingent assets have not been recognised as receivables, as receipt of the amount is dependent on the outcome of the litigation process.
As of December 31, 2024, the Group did not have any significant contingent assets.
(b) Contingent liabilities
As of December 31, 2025, the Group had a contingent liability in respect of a claim for RMB20,500,000, which was lodged against Shenzhen Suteng by the Defendant in December 2025 in relation to alleged infringement of a patent right. Shenzhen Suteng has disclaimed liability and is defending the action. It is not practical to estimate the potential effect of this claim but management assessed that it is not probable that a material liability will arise.
As of December 31, 2024, the Group did not have any significant contingent liabilities.
