CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

We are pleased to present the interim report for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

In the second quarter of this year, our total revenue reached RMB455 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 24.4% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 38.9%. Our total sales volume of LiDAR products in the second quarter amounted to approximately 158,200 units, representing a year-on-year increase of 28.6% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 45.7%. Notably, the sales volume of LiDAR products for robotics and others surged to 34,400 units, with a robust year-on-year increase of 631.9% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 189.1%. Deliveries of LiDAR products for ADAS reached 123,800 units, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.6% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 28.0%. Our gross margin has steadily increased for the sixth consecutive quarter, reaching 27.7% in the second quarter of this year, with a gross margin of LiDAR products for ADAS at 19.4% and for robotics and others at 41.5%. Net losses for the second quarter narrowed by 63.6% year-on-year and 49.6% quarter-on-quarter. This demonstrates our sustained revenue growth, the robotics business entering a high-growth cycle, and our continuously improving profitability.

With the advent of the digital era, core technological competition in LiDAR has evolved from innovations in optical architecture to profound competition at the chip level. Compared to analog architectures, digital architectures deliver superior performance advantages. Leveraging our self-developed SPAD-SoC chips and VCSEL architecture, we have built the industry's most comprehensive digital product matrix, primarily based on the E- and EM-platforms. Our next-generation digital chip development is progressing smoothly and is expected to launch next year. We are confident that continued iterations of new-generation architectures and chips will allow us to lead the industry and unlock more incremental markets.

With our new digital LiDAR products, such as the E1, EM4, and E1R, commencing mass production and delivery in the second half of this year, the superior performance and extensive adoption of digital LiDAR have become fully evident across various applications, including ADAS, Robotaxi, and the commercial robotics represented by lawnmowing robots.

In the ADAS sector, the E1 had become the sole mass-produced LiDAR solution with a wide FOV designed for L3 and L4 autonomous driving. The EM-platform has also secured design wins for 46 vehicle models from 8 OEMs within six months, with mass production expected to accelerate in 2026 to capture a substantially larger market share. Popular models equipped with the EM-platform's customized 520-line LiDAR, including the Zeekr 9X and the new IM LS6, have entered the pre-sale stage and received an outstanding market response.


2025 INTERIM REPORT

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT

As a technological pinnacle, Robotaxi holds significant strategic importance for our current and future business. In the Robotaxi sector, by leveraging our generationally leading digital LiDAR technology, we have partnered with over $90\%$ of leading L4 companies. In the first half of this year, the E1 and EM4 secured formal design wins from several global leading Robotaxi companies, including several top-tier North American Robotaxi customers. The EM4's ultralong detection range and high-line-count performance, combined with the E1's blind-spot coverage capabilities, form the ultimate combo and have become the preferred configuration for the new-generation Robotaxi.

In the robotics sector, our digital products for robotics, such as the E1R, have achieved significant breakthroughs across multiple applications. Our performance in the lawn-mowing robot industry has been particularly outstanding, with exclusive partnerships established with several of the world's top 5 manufacturers and order volumes reaching seven figures. In the unmanned delivery sector, we have collaborated with Coco Robotics and two leading North American delivery platforms, while also establishing in-depth strategic partnerships with leading domestic companies such as Meituan, Neolix, and Rino.ai to jointly build a global delivery network.

In the embodied intelligence market, we are leveraging our decade-long expertise in perception technology to concentrate on optimizing the "eyes" of robots. Beyond LiDAR, we are addressing the core needs of general robotic perception with an innovative product category – Active Camera – designed to function as the "Real Eyes of Robots". This groundbreaking sensor, capable of outputting RGBD data, redefines robotic perception with bondless potential, much like LiDAR has done.

At the hardware level, the AC (Active Camera) integrates data from cameras, LiDAR, and IMUs. Achieving efficient spatiotemporal synchronization between LiDAR and cameras requires advanced digital LiDAR chip capabilities, which is precisely RoboSense's strength. Building on this foundation of precise sensor fusion, the AC is further bolstered by toolchains and algorithm SDKs, establishing a full-stack "hardware + software + ecosystem" solution. Looking toward applications, we believe that as technology progresses, cutting-edge applications such as environmental 3D color modeling will expand from B2B into the B2C market. With the continuous evolution of spatial intelligence and VR, content sensors capable of directly generating models of the physical world will usher in a new era.

Furthermore, by combining AC with tactile dexterous hands, we aim to create a closed-loop ecosystem for robotic dexterous manipulations – from perception and data collection to model training – ultimately unleashing greater commercial value through synergistic ecosystem effects. This provides comprehensive support for the embodied robotics industry from core components to key toolchains and further to main algorithms, thereby accelerating the implementation of embodied intelligence in real-world applications.


RoboSense Technology Co., Ltd

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT

RoboSense is committed to becoming a global leading robotics company. We uphold our mission to “Safer world, Smarter life”, continuously increasing investments in chips, algorithms, and digital architectures to build a stronger technological moat and deliver sustainable long-term value for customers, partners, and society as a whole.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Overview

RoboSense is an AI-driven robotic technology company that supplies advanced and reliable incremental components and solutions for the robotics industry. We are committed to become “a global leader in robotic technology platforms”, and our mission is to make “Safer world, Smarter life”. RoboSense was established in 2014 with its headquarters located in Shenzhen, China. We currently hire over 1,600 professionals and employees who are working in our offices in various countries and regions, including Shanghai, Suzhou and Hong Kong in China, Stuttgart in Germany, and Detroit and Silicon Valley in the United States.

Business Outlook

Similar to the transition of cameras from film to digital, we believe that digitalization in LiDAR is irreversible. In 2021, RoboSense released the industry’s first fully solid-state digital LiDAR platform: the E-platform. The first product developed from this platform, E1 LiDAR, is the foundational digital LiDAR. After years of refinement, E1 LiDAR has officially commenced its mass production in the first half of this year, becoming the industry’s first large-scale commercialization of fully solid-state LiDAR.

Currently, E1 remains the sole wide FOV LiDAR product, which has started mass production and could be applied in L3 and L4 autonomous driving. At the same time, their outstanding performance also makes E-platform LiDAR products the preferred main LiDAR for robotics. We estimated that the number of shipment of E series LiDAR products will reach six figures in 2025.

Early this year, we launched another digital LiDAR platform – EM-platform, which is dedicated to develop long detection range LiDAR products. Our EM4 LiDAR from the EM-platform is currently the sole LiDAR product with over 500 laser beams mass-produced digital LiDAR which is able to fulfill the essential requirement of high performance in L3 and L4 autonomous driving in the market. We will commence mass production of EM4 LiDAR in the third quarter of this year. Our EMX LiDAR, featuring with real 192 laser beams, is able to meet the demand for optimal performance and cost-effective requirements from those new generation vehicle models in L2 ADAS driving area. Since its official launch, we have already obtained a number of vehicle models’ design wins from several leading OEMs, and the mass production and delivery of EMX LiDAR products will be achieved in the third quarter of this year. We expect EM-platform to expand rapidly and its products will capture larger market share in 2026.

As LiDAR enters the digital era, we predict its core competition on technology will shift from optical architecture innovation to profound chip-level technological advancement.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The critical feature of a digital LiDAR is the integration of the core receiver system and echo-feature recognition function into one single SPAD-SOC chip. This feature drastically simplifies the signal flow chain, lowers power consumption, enhances signals completeness and consistency, and also allows LiDAR's performance to improve continuously according to Moore's Law. Digital LiDAR can provide unprecedented perception accuracy to intelligent vehicles and robotics.

When developing our in-house SPAD-SOC chips, we enhance our point cloud processing know-how through deeper extraction of signal features to design signal processing algorithms, so as to address point cloud quality issues occurred in adverse weather conditions such as rain and fog.

We have already launched the industry-leading E-platform fully solid-state LiDAR based on our in-house SPAD-SOC chips. Going forward, we will continue to deliver EM-platform products, also based on our in-house SPAD-SOC chips, with quality superior than the products of our competitors.

In the Robotaxi sector, which is demanding for higher automotive-grade performance standards, digital LiDAR products has replaced those old generation mechanical LiDAR products and become the mainstream choice for Robotaxi applications. Currently, digital EM4 LiDAR, the industry's sole mass-produced automotive-grade high laser beams digital main LiDAR, together with E1 LiDAR, the industry's sole mass-produced automotive-grade fully solid-state digital blind-spot LiDAR, form the Robotaxi vehicles' "ultimate combo", which is capturing significant market share and driving the industry toward large-scale deployment.

In terms of customer validation and product commercialization, owing to its large competitive advantages, E1 has become the preferred choice of blind-spot LiDAR product for Robotaxi operating in the large scale deployment phase. We have already formally obtained design wins for mass production of E1 LiDAR from eight global leading Robotaxi companies. We have also secured several design wins for the mass production of high performance and long detection range main LiDAR EM4 with several top-tier North-America Robotaxi customers. The EM4+E1 combo has passed mass-production validation with eight global Robotaxi customers, and entered into closer cooperation stage. Several top Robotaxi companies will initiate the mass production of "EM4+E1" by the end of this year. The annual shipments of LiDAR products to Robotaxi customers are expected to reach the tens of thousands units.

We are cooperating closely with DiDi Autonomous Driving, Baidu, Pony.ai and WeRide. Moreover, leading Silicon Valley Robotaxi and Robotruck companies in the North America will also expand their fleets, which are equipped with our E1 and EM4 LiDAR products, by the end of this year. Uber has integrated our partners WeRide, Pony.ai, Momenta and Lucid Motor into its commercial ride-hailing network across Europe and the Middle East. Overall, more than $90\%$ of the world's leading L4 autonomous driving companies are now collaborating with us. By using our proprietary chips and fully digital architecture as the foundation and leveraging our products' features and performance and production capability, we will accelerate the "design-win - mass production - volume ramp" cycle so as to make Robotaxi as RoboSense's next key growth driver.

  • Our revenue from the sales of products was RMB721.0 million for the first half of 2025, representing an increase of $5.0\%$ from RMB686.5 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to the increase in sales of products for robotics and others. The total number of our LiDAR products sold increased to approximately 266,800 units in the first half of 2025 from approximately 243,400 units in the same period of 2024. For the first half of 2025, our revenue generated from sales of our LiDAR products for ADAS applications decreased to RMB500.3 million from RMB609.0 million for the same period of 2024, representing a year-on-year reduction of $17.9\%$ . The number of LiDAR products sold for ADAS applications decreased to approximately 220,500 units in the first half of 2025 from approximately 234,500 units in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the decrease in sales of LiDAR products to two of our major OEM customers, one of them has adopted to install LiDAR products developed by its strategic Tier 1 supplier in its vehicles, and the other one has ceased to install LiDAR products in its vehicles. Such decreases have been partially compensated by the increase in sales of LiDAR products to another two major OEM customers in China. The average unit price of products for ADAS applications decreased to approximately RMB2,300 per unit in the first half of 2025 from approximately RMB2,600 per unit in the same period of 2024. The decrease in the average unit price of products for ADAS applications was mainly because the sales of lower priced MX LiDAR products have been increased in the first half of 2025. Our revenue generated from sales of products for robotics and others was RMB220.7 million for the first half of 2025, representing an increase of $184.8\%$ from RMB77.5 million for the same period of 2024. The total number of our LiDAR products sold for robotics and others increased to approximately 46,300 units in the first half of 2025 from approximately 8,900 units in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the demand from robotic customers for our new E1R and Airy LiDAR products as well as mechanical LiDAR products such as Helios and Bpearl series has been increased in the first half of 2025. The average unit price of product decreased from approximately RMB8,700 per unit for the first half of 2024 to approximately RMB4,800 per unit for the same period of 2025, primarily because the unit price of E1R and Airy products were lower than the unit price of those mechanical LiDAR products such as Ruby, Helios and Bpearl series.

Other Losses – Net

Our other losses decreased by 94.5% to RMB0.2 million for the first half of 2025 from RMB3.9 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the fair value gains on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the first half of 2025.

Finance Income – Net

Finance income – net decreased by 7.3% to RMB50.1 million for the first half of 2025 from RMB54.0 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in interest income from cash and cash equivalents.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

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.

Excluding share-based compensation, fair value changes in financial instruments issued to investors and listing expenses, the adjusted net loss (non-IFRS measure) was RMB114.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $43.4\%$ from RMB202.1 million for the same period of 2024.

For the six months ended June 30,
2025 (Unaudited) (RMB in thousands) 2024 (Unaudited) (RMB in thousands)
Reconciliation of net loss to adjusted net loss (non-IFRS measure):
Net loss (148,606) (267,521)
Add:
- Share-based compensation (1) 34,214 62,559
- Fair value changes in financial instruments issued to investors (2) - 2,799
- Listing expenses (3) - 26
Adjusted net loss (non-IFRS measure) (114,392) (202,137)

Notes:
(1) Share-based compensation is non-cash in nature and mainly represents the arrangement that we receive services from employees as consideration for our equity instruments. Share-based compensation is not expected to result in future cash payments.
(2) Fair value changes in financial instruments issued to investors represent the fair value changes of the preferred shares issued by us, which have converted into equity upon Listing.
(3) Listing expenses are related to the Global Offering.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Our business faces risks including those set out in the section headed "Risk Factors" in the Prospectus. The following list is a summary of certain principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group, some of which are beyond its control:

  • Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter;
  • We have a history of net losses, which may continue in the future;
  • We have recorded net operating cash outflow in the past, which may reoccur in the future;
  • The failure to innovate our technology or develop new products to adapt to changing customer needs could harm our growth;
  • Continued pricing pressures from our customers, many of whom possess significant bargaining power, may result in lower than anticipated revenue and margins, which may materially and adversely affect our business prospects and results of operations;
  • We are susceptible to supply shortages, long lead times and increased costs of raw materials and key components, any of which could disrupt our supply chain, increase our production costs, adversely affect our profitability and delay deliveries of our products to customers;
  • As the LiDAR and robotics industry in which we operate is new and rapidly evolving, we are subject to intense competition and it is difficult to forecast adoption rates and demand for our products.

  • There is no guarantee that our automotive OEM customers will purchase our products and solutions in any certain quantity or at any certain price even after we obtain design wins, and the period of time from product design to mass production is long and we are subject to the risks of termination or postponement of contracts or unsuccessful implementation; and
  • Changes in China's or global economic, political or social conditions or government policies, including, without limitation, geopolitical tensions, imposition of or increase in any industry-specific or product-specific tariffs, outbound investment restrictions on Chinese companies engaged in certain activities involving specified sensitive technologies, or export control measures, may have a material and adverse impact on our business operation, financial performance or position, or prospects.

2025 INTERIM REPORT
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RISK MANAGEMENT

We are exposed to a variety of financial risks, including market risks (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk as set out below. Our overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on our financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the senior management of our Group. Our management regularly manages and monitors the financial risks of our Group to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner. During the Reporting Period, no hedging activity was undertaken by our Group.

Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument fluctuates because of the changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the respective functional currency of our Group's entities. The functional currency of our Company and majority of its overseas subsidiaries is USD whereas the functional currency of the PRC subsidiaries is RMB. Our Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to RMB, USD and HKD. During the Reporting Period, our Group did not hedge transactions undertaken in foreign currencies but managed its foreign exchange risk by performing regular reviews of our Group's net foreign exchange exposures. See Note 5 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in this interim report for details.

Interest Rate Risk

Our Group's interest rate risk primarily arises from long-term time deposits, restricted time deposits, cash and cash equivalents and borrowings. Those carried at floating rates expose our Group to cash flow interest rate risk whereas those carried at fixed rates expose our Group to fair value interest rate risk. Our Group regularly monitors the interest rate risk to ensure there is no undue exposure to significant interest rate movements. During the Reporting Period, our Group did not have any significant interest-bearing liabilities nor any significant interest-bearing assets except for long-term time deposits, restricted time deposits, cash and cash equivalents and borrowings. The fair value interest rate risk arises from financial assets and liabilities carried at fixed rates was not significant for our Group during the Reporting Period. See Note 5 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in this interim report for details.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Price Risk

Our Group is exposed to price risk in respect of financial assets at FVTPL, which mainly include investments in wealth management products. During the Reporting Period, our Group was not exposed to commodity price risk. See Note 5 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in this interim report for details.

Credit Risk

Our Group is exposed to credit risk in relation to its cash and cash equivalents, long-term time deposits, restricted time deposits, restricted cash, trade and notes receivables, other receivables, financial assets at amortised cost, at FVOCI and FVTPL and derivative financial instrument. The carrying amounts of above items represent our Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. The management of our Group manages credit risk on a group basis. As of June 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalent were mainly placed with reputable financial institutions in the PRC without significant credit issue, and our Group was not exposed to significant credit risk arising from other receivables having considered the counterparties' past operational and financial performance and other factors. See Note 5 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in this interim report for details.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that our Group is unable to meet its obligations when they fall due, resulting from amount and maturity mismatches of assets and liabilities. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and the availability of funding. Due to the nature of the underlying businesses, our management responsible for treasury function aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping sufficient cash available. See Note 5 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in this interim report for details.

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value of the equity-settled share-based payments determined at the grant date without taking into consideration all non-market vesting conditions is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (share award scheme reserve). At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest based on assessment of all relevant non-market vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the share award scheme reserve. When share awards are exercised, the amount previously recognized in share award scheme reserve will be transferred to share capital and share premium. When the shares awards are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognized in share award scheme reserve will be transferred to accumulated losses.

Save as disclosed above, no other Award has been granted, exercised, cancelled, lapsed or remained outstanding under the Post-IPO Share Incentive Scheme during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Details of Grant of Awards after the Reporting Period

On July 18, 2025, the Company granted Restricted Share Units underlying a total of 1,181,397 Shares to 26 eligible Participants, who are the employees of the Group, pursuant to the Post-IPO Share Incentive Scheme. The Shares underlying these Restricted Share Units shall vest within a period between one month and 48 months after the date of grant pursuant to the vesting schedule specified in the Award Agreement entered into between the Company and each Participant who are granted the Awards. For details of the grant of Awards, please refer to the Company's announcement dated July 18, 2025.

After this grant of Awards and taking into account the Awards lapsed after June 30, 2025, as of the Latest Practicable Date, 9,510,465 Shares are available for future grants under the Scheme Mandate Limit under the Post-IPO Share Incentive Scheme.

羅兵咸永道

To the Board of Directors of RoboSense Technology Co., Ltd
(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 45 to 93, which comprises the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet of RoboSense Technology Co., Ltd (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") as of June 30, 2025, the interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and six months periods then ended, the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months period then ended, and selected explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

5 Financial risk management

(a) Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the senior management of the Group.

The Group's policies on financial risk management were set out in the annual report and there have been no significant changes in the financial risk management policies for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

(b) Fair value estimation

The Group analyzes its financial instruments' fair value by level of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Such inputs are categorized into three levels within a fair value hierarchy as follows:

  • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
  • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
  • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The Group has a team that manages the valuation of level 3 instruments for financial reporting purposes. The team manages the valuation exercise of the investments on a case-by-case basis. External valuation experts will be involved when necessary.

The valuation of the level 3 instruments mainly included financial assets at FVOCI, financial assets at FVTPL and derivative financial instruments. As these instruments are not traded in an active market, their fair values have been determined by using various applicable valuation techniques, including:

  • For financial assets measured at FVTPL or financial assets measured at FVOCI, discounted cash flow model is used and unobservable inputs are involved, mainly including assumptions of expected future cash flows and discount rate; and
  • For the valuation of derivative financial instruments, option valuation model is used and the management assessed the change of fair value of derivative financial instruments for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was immaterial.

There was no change to valuation techniques during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

12 Loss per share

(a) Basic loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

In determining the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue, the unvested restricted shares and share options are excluded:

Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,
2025 RMB'000 (Unaudited) 2024 RMB'000 (Unaudited) 2025 RMB'000 (Unaudited) 2024 RMB'000 (Unaudited)
Loss attributable to the owners of the Company (RMB'000) (51,387) (137,365) (150,980) (269,151)
Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding 233,710,793 441,990,996 457,206,245 433,738,117
Basic loss per share (in RMB) (0.22) (0.31) (0.33) (0.62)

(b) Diluted loss 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 three and six months ended June 30, 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 three and six months ended June 30, 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 is the same as basic loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

(a) In July 2025, the Group acquired approximately $31.58\%$ of the equity interests of a start-up entity with the Group's equipment, totalling to approximately RMB35.7 million as purchase consideration. The Group has one director on the board of the investee and can participate in its operating, investing and financing decisions. Therefore, the Group has significant influence over the investee through its shareholding.

(b) On July 18, 2025, the Company granted RSUs underlying a total of 1,181,397 shares at nil consideration to eligible employees of the Group, pursuant to the post-IPO share incentive scheme. The shares underlying the RSUs shall vest within a period between one month and 48 months after the date of grant pursuant to the vesting schedule specified in the award agreement, which is based on performance conditions. The fair value of the RSUs granted was determined based on the share price of the Company's shares on the grant date, which was HKD33.35 per share, and would be recognized as expenses over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in equity.
