Concord New Energy Announces 2026 Interim Results: Strategic Transformation Begins to Deliver Results, Firmly Advancing Business Globalization
(27 August 2026, Hong Kong) Concord New Energy Group Limited (“CNE” or "the Group", Stock Code: 0182.HK, SEG.SG) announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (the "Period"). During the Period, the Group advanced its project development, achieved notable progress in commercial development cooperation across China, successfully commissioned solar power projects in Singapore and New Zealand, and launched post-investment management for its first renewable energy private fund—marking a milestone in the Group’s evolution into a dual role of “operator + professional asset manager”. Asset optimization progressed steadily, while administrative expenses and financing costs declined further. However, due to a combination of adverse factors—including intensified wind and solar curtailment in China, suboptimal resource conditions during the first half of the year, declining electricity prices, and the phase-out of tax incentives—profit attributable to equity holders of the Group decreased year-on-year.During the Period, the Group achieved revenue of RMB1,258 million, representing a decrease of 10.2% compared to the corresponding period last year. Profit attributable to equity holders of the Company amounted to RMB101 million, with basic earnings per share of RMB1.29 cents. Despite the revenue decline, the Group's cash flow remained robust, with operating cash flow reaching RMB1,306 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 25.5%. As of 30 June 2026, the Group's cash and bank balances increased to RMB1,988 million, representing a significant increase of 54%.In the first half of 2026, the Group seized power demand opportunities arising from surging global AI investment, establishing a presence in AI data center (AIDC) development and related integrated energy solutions in the United States, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe. Through customized clean power solutions, the Group is advancing the integration of renewable energy and storage projects into AIDC infrastructure, and its innovative AIDC energy solutions business is gradually maturing. At the same time, the Group is actively pursuing long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) for renewable energy projects in mature markets where electricity demand is expanding rapidly and appetite for green power is strong, thereby enhancing the projects' earnings certainty and improving project bankability. The Group also accelerated the conversion of its pipeline projects in China into tangible outcomes. During the Period, it signed commercial development agreements covering an aggregate capacity of 1,070 MW, while grid connection and pre-construction preparations for several other projects are progressing in an orderly manner.During the Period, the Group continued to optimize its asset portfolio. The renewable energy private equity fund established by the Group in partnership with Taikang Insurance completed its first acquisition, comprising wind power assets with an aggregate capacity of 401 MW. The fund has formally entered the post-investment management phase, marking a milestone in the Group's transformation toward a dual role as both an operator and a professional asset manager. Meanwhile, the Group also completed the divestment of a 70 MW solar PV project to a third party. During the Period, the attributable installed capacity of operational projects transferred to the renewable energy private fund and other divested assets totaled 351 MW. As of 30 June 2026, the Group's attributable installed capacity of wind and solar PV power plants amounted to 4,586 MW, of which grid-parity projects accounted for 3,324 MW, representing 72.5% of the total attributable installed capacity.Facing challenges in the industry operating environment, the Group continued to strengthen its safety management system. During the Period, no general or major safety incidents occurred, and power plant operations remained safe and stable. The Group continued to improve the operational performance of its power plants. During the Period, 12 of the Group's power plants ranked in the top 20% of the China Electricity Council's 2025 operational benchmarking assessment for wind and solar PV facilities, including four sites awarded a 5A rating.In terms of electricity marketing, the Group closely tracked and studied evolving power sector policies and trading rules, and developed software modules leveraging AI and proprietary algorithms to enable automated trading, price spread forecasting, and cross-departmental data collaboration, thereby enhancing the electricity marketing business. Capitalizing on these professional trading capabilities, the Group's operating power plants achieved settlement tariffs above the market average in most provincial power markets. During the Period, the Group completed green electricity transactions totaling 660 million kWh, representing an increase of 27% year-on-year. Concurrently, newly signed green certificate sales contracts reached RMB16.3 million, surging 92% compared to the same period last year.During the Period, the Group continued to deepen partnerships with multiple global financial institutions. Capitalizing on favorable domestic market conditions, the Group refinanced and optimized existing debt across multiple channels, reducing its comprehensive financing rate by a further 8 basis points from the end of 2025 to 3.43%, falling below China's 5-year-plus Loan Prime Rate (LPR) of 3.50% for the first time. The Group achieved financial close for its solar PV projects in South Korea and New Zealand, while project financing for solar PV and BESS projects in the United States and Singapore is progressing on schedule.Mr. Liu Shunxing, Chairman of Concord New Energy Group Limited, commented: "Amid profound shifts in the new energy industry, the Group has remained steadfast in advancing its strategic transformation in recent years, achieving tangible progress in global business expansion, asset portfolio optimization, operational efficiency enhancement, and cost reduction. We will actively capitalize on the historic opportunities arising from the rapid advancement of AI, positioning AIDC development and integrated energy solutions as a primary focus of our transformation, and driving the iterative upgrade of our overall business. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to execute its established strategy, uphold prudent operations, disciplined investment, and a quality-first approach, steadily advance globalization, deepen asset optimization, and vigorously expand our professional services while strengthening power marketing capabilities to drive revenue growth. We remain committed to delivering stable and sustainable long-term returns to our shareholders."28/08/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

From FaceU to CapCut to AI Video: The Team Behind ByteDance’s Imaging Apps Bets on Flova
The team behind FaceU and products that helped shape ByteDance’s consumer imaging ecosystem is entering a new chapter in video creation.Founded by Guo Lie, creator of FaceU and former leader of ByteDance’s imaging business, Flova.ai has raised more than $80 million across two funding rounds, with backing from Sequoia Capital, IDG Capital and Yunji Capital. The company launched globally in October 2025 and is now building what it describes as an AI-native approach to video production.Before Flova, Guo founded FaceU, which was acquired by ByteDance for approximately $300 million in 2018. He later led ByteDance’s imaging business and was involved in the incubation and development of CapCut.With Flova, the team is turning its attention from consumer imaging to a broader question: what happens when AI stops being a generation tool and becomes part of the production team?AI Video Has Solved Generation. Production Remains the Problem.The past few years have seen rapid advances in AI video generation. Platforms including Runway, Pika, Kling and Sora have made it possible to generate increasingly sophisticated images and video from natural-language instructions.But generating individual clips is only one part of making a video.A real production requires a creator to manage scripts, characters, shots, references, assets, model selection, versions, revisions and editing—often across multiple tools.Flova takes a different approach.Available at Flova.ai, the web-based platform brings multiple leading image and video models into a single creative environment, while placing an AI Agent at the center of the production workflow.Rather than treating each generation as an isolated request, Flova is designed to understand the relationships between a project's script, shots, assets and timeline.That distinction becomes increasingly important as projects grow more complex.An Agent That Understands the Project, Not Just the PromptA prompt describes a request. A project contains context.Characters have identities and relationships. Stories have continuity. Brands have visual rules. Assets have different versions. A change to one reference may affect multiple shots.Flova's Agent is designed to retain and work with this project-level context.Creators can upload long-form scripts, character profiles, world-building materials, brand guidelines and production requirements. Flova currently supports up to 100,000 Chinese characters in a single script upload, allowing creators to provide the Agent with an entire story while controlling which episode, scene or shot they want to produce.The Agent can then help transform that context into editable storyboards, organize and bind assets, prepare generation prompts, coordinate AI models, manage revisions and assemble rough timelines.The objective is not simply to build an AI assistant that can answer questions about a video.It is to create an Agent that can work with the structure of the project itself.From Prompt Templates to Creative SkillsFlova's latest 1.0 release introduces another layer: Flova Skills.Professional creators can create Skills that capture their preferred workflows, prompting structures, visual standards, creative preferences and production methods.A Skill is designed to be more than a reusable prompt. It can encode a repeatable way of working that an Agent can apply to future projects.A filmmaker could build a Skill around a particular cinematic workflow. A commercial creator could capture a brand's visual production standards. An AI creator could turn a proven prompting and iteration process into a reusable creative system.Flova currently offers a video-focused Skill Hub with more than 100 professional Skills, while also building a community where experienced creators can share their methods with others.This creates a different relationship between expertise and AI:Models provide generation capabilities.Skills capture creative methodology.Agents execute the workflow.Creators remain responsible for creative judgment.A Multi-Model Production EnvironmentFlova is also designed around a multi-model workflow rather than tying creators to a single generation model.Creators can access leading AI image and video models from within the same production environment, while Flova manages the surrounding project structure.This means creators can focus less on moving assets and prompts between different AI products and more on deciding which creative direction works.The company sees this as an important distinction between an AI video generator and an AI video production platform.The former answers:“Can AI generate this shot?”The latter needs to answer:“How does this shot fit into the project, what assets should it use, what happens when it changes, and how does the project move forward?”Flova is built around the second question.Making Professional Workflows More AccessibleFlova's ambition is not to replace creative judgment.Creators still decide what the project should look like, which direction is right and which result is worth keeping.The Agent handles more of the operational work surrounding those decisions—from organizing context and preparing prompts to coordinating generations, managing assets, tracking versions and supporting revisions.For professional creators, this can reduce repetitive production work.For less experienced creators, Skills can provide access to workflows and methods that would otherwise take years to develop.The result is a different model of AI-assisted creation:The creator brings the vision. The Agent helps carry it through production.Building a Creative System That Learns Over TimeFlova's longer-term vision extends beyond a single generation session.Approved characters, products, environments and references can be retained for future projects. Creative workflows can be turned into Skills. Project standards can be updated and reused. Previous versions can remain available rather than being overwritten.Over time, the production system becomes more valuable because it accumulates the creator's assets, methods and decisions.This is the foundation of Flova's approach to Agent-Native Video Production: moving AI video from a sequence of disconnected generations toward a continuous production environment where context, creative methods and project knowledge can be reused.The Next Chapter for AI VideoThe first wave of generative AI made it possible to create individual images and clips with increasingly simple instructions.Flova is betting that the next wave will focus on something broader: making the production process itself AI-native.That means moving beyond asking AI to generate a shot and toward giving an Agent enough context, tools and creative methodology to help move an entire project forward.For the team that previously helped bring FaceU and ByteDance's imaging products to hundreds of millions of users, Flova represents a new chapter in the same long-running question:How can technology make sophisticated visual creation accessible to more people?This time, the answer may not be another camera, editor or generation model.It may be an Agent that works alongside the creator.About FlovaFlova.ai is an AI-native video creation platform focused on Agent-driven production workflows. Launched globally in October 2025, Flova combines leading AI image and video models with project memory, contextual understanding, intelligent asset management, timeline workflows and reusable Skills.Flova was founded by Guo Lie, creator of FaceU and former leader of ByteDance's imaging business. FaceU was acquired by ByteDance for approximately $300 million in 2018. Guo was subsequently involved in the incubation of products including CapCut, Hypic and BeautyCam.Flova has raised more than $80 million across two funding rounds, backed by Sequoia Capital, IDG Capital and Sky9 Capital.Email: contact@flova.aiWebsite: www.flova.ai26/08/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

A Portfolio of 19 Automotive MOSFETs Debuts: the World's First 12-Inch Mass Production Cuts Per-Chip Cost by Up to 50%
(24 August, Shanghai) Power MOSFETs are the heart of every electrical device — home appliances, industrial motors, new energy vehicle electronic controls, AI data center power supplies. The new-generation T2X technology platform optimizes gate structure, doping profile, and termination design to sharply reduce on-resistance at the same chip area, while also improving dynamic parameters such as gate charge and gate-drain charge. The result is a simultaneous reduction in both conduction and switching losses, breaking the traditional constraint that low on-resistance requires a large die.Nexperia ranks No. 1 globally in small-signal MOSFETs and among the global top three in automotive power MOSFETs. Nexperia China's proprietary 12-inch SGT T2X automotive MOSFETs are industry-leading in conduction loss, thermal performance, surge withstand capability, and EMI characteristics, filling the gap in 12-inch automotive-grade high-voltage MOSFETs.The products entering mass production this time have completed a full set of standardized reliability verification, covering both automotive and industrial grades. According to industry information, the effective chip output of a single 12-inch wafer is about 5.7 times that of a 5-inch wafer, about 4 times that of a 6-inch wafer, and about 2.2 to 2.4 times that of an 8-inch wafer. In terms of per-chip cost, this means a reduction of about 70% compared with 5-inch, about 60% compared with 6-inch, and about 50% compared with 8-inch.The new-generation 40V products achieve an on-resistance as low as 0.48 milliohms, an improvement of more than 50% over the previous generation; the 80V platform reaches a minimum on-resistance of 1.3 milliohms, 45% lower than the previous generation. Device thermal resistance and avalanche energy lead the industry by about 20%, and 2,000-hour board-level temperature cycling reliability is likewise leading.Nexperia China has released a portfolio of 19 automotive MOSFET products in the 40–100V range, designed for body control, infotainment, battery reverse protection, and LED lighting. Automotive-grade 100V products achieve on-resistance as low as 0.99 mΩ and can handle safe currents above 460 A, suitable for OBCs, traction inverters, and BMS.The new-generation MOS products have entered the supply chains of leading domestic new energy vehicle customers, with mass production delivery in the second half of 2026. The entire series exceeds the AEC-Q101 standard, and failure rates for core devices in braking, chassis, steering, and battery protection are controlled at the parts-per-billion level.On product iteration: Nexperia's development cycle used to take 24 to 36 months; now it takes 6 to 12 months. The localization ratio of some core devices has been pushed from under 20% to nearly 100%.About Nexperia Semiconductors (China) Ltd.:As a frontrunner in the development and production of basic semiconductor devices, Nexperia Semiconductors (China) Ltd.

Sun Hung Kai & Co. Announces 2026 Interim Results
Resilient First-Half Performance with Attributable Profit of HK$688 MillionSun Hung Kai & Co. Limited (Stock Code: 86.HK) ("SHK & Co." or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") today announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026.In the first half of 2026, the Group delivered a resilient performance amid a volatile global operating backdrop marked by geopolitical instability, interest rate uncertainty and narrow market breadth. As a principal-led alternative investment platform, SHK & Co. remains well positioned to navigate market volatility. We continued to create value focused on downside protection and risk-adjusted returns backed by our strong balance sheet, liquidity and growing strategic partnerships, as well as our extensive global network.Profit attributable to the owners of the Company was HK$687.9 million, a lower reported profit this period was mainly due to the absence of a sizeable liquidity event compared to the preceding period. Basic earnings per share was HK35.2 cents.Total assets grew to HK$40,388.8 million, reflecting the steady scaling of the Group's platform.The Board of Directors of the Company declared an interim dividend of HK13 cents per share for the six months ended 30 June 2026, an increase of 8.3% year-on-year (“YoY”).During the first half of 2026, the Group repurchased 2.8 million shares, further demonstrating its commitment to disciplined capital management and enhancing long-term shareholder value. Since 1997, the Group has returned HK$16.2 billion to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.The Group also continued to proactively manage its funding profile. During the reporting period, the Group repurchased an aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes (“MTN”) totalling US$154.2 million. In January 2026, the Group completed a US$250.0 million issuance of notes due 2029 under its MTN programme and concurrently tendered US$152.0 million of its outstanding notes due 2026, thereby extending its debt maturity profile, reducing near-term refinancing risk and further strengthening its financial flexibility.As of 30 June 2026, the Group's book value per share was HK$11.6, an increase of 1.8% from the end of 2025.Investment ManagementThe Investment Management business recorded a pre-tax profit of HK$402.9 million. As at 30 June 2026, the segment's investment balance stood at HK$16,880.5 million, grew 7.4% compared with the end of last year, with Private Equity assets comprising 57.4% of the total. Within the Group's HK$9.7 billion Private Equity portfolio, around HK$1.7 billion is publicly listed, providing strong liquidity flexibility. Since inception, this segment has delivered a 15.8% IRR.Investment profit in the first half of 2026 was driven evenly across Private Equity, Special Situations & Structured Credit, and Hedge Funds. Gains were supported by liquidity events including IPO and M&A activity, portfolio markups through new financing rounds of technology investments, and ongoing distributions. The Fund of Hedge Funds strategy also delivered a strong return that outperformed market benchmarks.The expanded Special Situations & Structured Credit allocation continued to provide downside protection with meaningful upside, with gains driven by value appreciation, alongside steady income from private credit. New investments in the period focused on Secondaries, Special Situations and Buyout strategies, prioritising mature, cash-generative assets with clear exit paths.Alternative Solutions (Formerly Funds Management) The Alternative Solutions platform, conducted through Sun Hung Kai Capital Partners Limited (“SHKCP”), recorded a nominal pre-tax loss of HK$0.9 million, narrowing losses significantly by 82.0% YoY. Accelerating growth in fee income (+24.7% YoY) to HK$21.0 million was the main driver, partly offset by higher operating expenses.Total AUM* expanded 17.7% to HK$29,192.0 million (equivalent to approximately US$3,723 million), driven by net capital inflows, solid performance across strategies, and new strategic partnerships. Although only commenced recently, this collaborative model is already generating a flywheel effect that unlocks proprietary deal flow, expands network effects between investors, and enables SHKCP to build long-term recurring revenue.Beyond generating risk-adjusted returns for SHKCP’s clients, these growing partnerships also support group-wide investment returns and capture compelling co-investment opportunities for our Investment Management segment.Credit BusinessThe Credit business's Consumer Finance operations, conducted under United Asia Finance Limited (“UAF”), recorded a pre-tax profit of HK$565.2 million, up 50.7% YoY, supported by satisfactory growth in loan transaction volume and profitability in Hong Kong, disciplined credit underwriting, and a lower charge-off ratio. The consolidated gross loan balance reached HK$12,348.9 million, an increase of 4.6% compared with the end of 2025. UAF's SIM Credit Card business continued to generate profit through growth in card receivables, interest and fee-based income.Mortgage Loans, conducted by Sun Hung Kai Credit Limited ("SHK Credit"), recorded a pre-tax profit of HK$26.0 million, up 140.7% YoY, primarily driven by a significant reduction in impairment charges; the net impairment losses ratio improved by 160 basis points to 3.5%. The mortgage servicing business continued its momentum, with the servicing portfolio expanding 40.7% to HK$1,491.8 million and loan servicing income rising 81.3% to HK$2.9 million. This growth was driven by new mandates, underscoring market recognition and trust in SHK Credit from institutional investors, and showcasing growing demand across developers. Expanding this business advances our strategy to broaden revenue base through capital-light recurring income while solidifying our position as an institutionalized mortgage solutions platform.Mr. Seng Huang LEE, the Group Executive Chairman, said, "While the macro environment remains complex, our over half-century track record and disciplined capital allocation give us the resilience to navigate market cycles. By leveraging our integrated Credit, Investment Management, and Alternative Solutions businesses, we will continue to deepen strategic partnerships and expand co-developed solutions, driving powerful flywheel and network effects across our platform, positioning us to capture high-conviction opportunities and deliver sustainable shareholder value."For more details of the 2026 Interim Results, please refer to the official announcement.* “Total AUM” refers to the total value of assets managed, advised, distributed or otherwise serviced by SHKCP, and also includes assets managed by seeding partners and external managers in which SHK & Co. has equity stakes.

RENOSY by Renters Warehouse Launches Resident Benefits Package for Single-Family Rental Homes
Minneapolis, Minnesota - August 18, 2026 - (SeaPRwire) - RENOSY by Renters Warehouse today introduced its Resident Benefits Package, a bundled service offering for residents living in single-family rental homes managed by the company. The package costs $49.99 per month and includes renters insurance, identity protection, move-in assistance, credit-building support, resident rewards, and automatic filter delivery, subject to availability and service options.The launch reflects a wider shift in single-family rental investing, where asset performance is increasingly tied to operations rather than ownership alone. RENOSY positions the package as a resident-facing offering with an asset-performance purpose: helping homeowner clients protect long-term profitability through stronger retention, fewer vacancies, and more consistent service.A rental home performs best when the resident experience is stable, useful, and well-supported. Turnover, vacancy, and renter dissatisfaction can erode returns. A stronger resident offering can support renewals, attract quality renters, and create more predictable performance for homeowners and investors."Great property management is no longer just about collecting rent and handling maintenance," said Shunsuke "Gucci" Iguchi, CEO of RENOSY by Renters Warehouse. "It's about elevating the way people live in the homes we manage. When residents feel supported, they stay longer, take better care of the property, and create stronger returns for our homeowner clients."Single-family rental ownership has become an increasingly important part of the real estate investment landscape. Rental property can generate income, preserve ownership of an asset, and support long-term wealth creation. Professional management can give residents more consistent service and a better leasing experience.Property management has historically been viewed as an administrative function — leasing, rent collection, maintenance, and basic resident support. Increasingly, it has become an operating platform tied directly to retention, yield protection, and asset performance."Every vacancy has a cost," said Mark Hanson, National Director of Leasing at RENOSY by Renters Warehouse. "By investing in the day-to-day rental experience, we are ultimately investing in homeowner and investor performance. Better residents, longer stays, and fewer interruptions all contribute to a more stable and profitable rental asset."The package aligns with RENOSY's broader mission of making real estate investing more accessible. Accessibility in this context is about helping more people own rental property and about making rental ownership easier to operate over time. That matters especially for individual homeowners and smaller investors, who may lack the infrastructure of large institutional landlords but still require professional systems, reliable service, and consistent resident support.About RENOSY by Renters WarehouseRENOSY by Renters Warehouse is a property management company serving homeowners, real estate investors, and residents in the single-family rental market. The company's mission is making real estate investing more accessible, with professional systems and consistent resident support designed for individual homeowners and smaller investors as well as larger portfolios.Media ContactCompany: RENOSY by Renters WarehouseContact: Ponara Eng, VP MarketingEmail: media@renterswarehouse.comWebsite: https://renterswarehouse.com/Address: Minneapolis, MN 5541618/08/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

Xunce Technology H1 Revenue Surges 389% with nearly RMB 100mn Profit; Token Commercialization Far Outpaces Expectations
The Hong Kong stock market’s AI sector boasts no shortage of standout names, yet it lacks a genuine performance benchmark that delivers tangible results.On July 31, Xunce Technology (3317.HK, “Company”) unveiled its latest business results: revenue surged nearly four times, the Company secured first-half profitability for the first time in its decade-long history, gross margins remained elevated, and annual recurring revenue (ARR) from Token services jumped 410% quarter-over-quarter.Taken together, no other player in Hong Kong’s AI sector can match this set of metrics. As the first player to deliver material earnings growth, Xunce Technology has effectively demonstrated a viable commercial AI business model.All Core Metrics Show Strong MomentumDriven by rapidly rising demand for enterprise-level real-time AI data infrastructure and analytics, Xunce Technology outperformed market expectations in the first half of 2026. The Company released its trading update on July 31, reporting H1 revenue of RMB 970 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 389% and hitting an all-time high for the period. This robust topline growth stems not from a single catalyst, but from five mutually reinforcing drivers: surging enterprise demand for AI implementation, accelerated penetration across industries, faster deployment of TokenOS, successful commercialization of its Token business model, international expansion and ecosystem development.Revenue generated via the Token business model has exceeded 10% of total turnover. The ARR from Token services leapt 410% QoQ in June, with commercial progress far outstripping forecasts. Accelerated deployment of the TokenONE operating system is fueling exponential growth in data Token consumption. The Company projects Token-related revenue will account for 20% to 30% of total revenue by year-end.Revenue reached RMB 970 million, surging 389% year-on-year to hit an all-time high for the period. Net profit attributable to owners stood at RMB 72.51 million, compared with a net loss of RMB 89 million in the prior-year period, marking the Company’s first profitable first half. Adjusted net profit amounted to RMB 67 million, versus a net loss of RMB 105 million recorded a year earlier, representing a substantial turnaround from losses to profitability.The scale of this turnaround has exceeded broad expectations, signaling the Company’s transition from an investment phase to a period of earnings realization.The turnaround and profit growth can be traced to three key factors. First, higher margin revenue streams now make up an increasing share of total income, driving an improved revenue mix and stronger profitability. Second, the platform-based and modularized product architecture unlocks economies of scale. R&D, sales and administrative expense ratios improved versus the prior-year period, with operating leverage kicking in at an accelerated pace. Third, enhanced capital management generated incremental investment income, further boosting profits for the period.Five Growth Drivers behind the Strong ResultsEnterprise demand for practical AI deployment is surging, shifting from experimental spending to critical business demand. Even so, effective deployment of large language models (LLMs) in specialized use cases including financial risk control, industrial quality inspection and energy scheduling remains constrained by three hurdles: data governance, real-time data provision, and security compliance. Enterprises are moving beyond simply purchasing model APIs, rather, they are systematically building data infrastructure to bridge the gap between private domain data and model-ready datasets. As AI applications expand from general use cases to specialized commercial scenarios, demand for high-quality, scenario-specific data infrastructure is growing exponentially.TokenOS unlocks new upside for Token-driven commercialization. In May, Xunce Technology launched TokenONE, the world’s first TokenOS operating system, a platform that converts heterogeneous enterprise data into measurable and priceable vertical scenario Tokens in real time. Powered by exclusive private domain data, millisecond-level response speed and a decade of industry knowhow accumulated, its scenario Token pricing ranges from $10 to $100 per million tokens, over ten times the rates for generic LLM tokens. CITIC Securities characterizes the platform as a “data flow operating system”, highlighting its core strength: delivering millisecond-scale data governance and AI-ready outputs for high-frequency decision-making scenarios such as finance and energy.The Token business model has been validated, delivering blistering ARR expansion. Under this pricing framework, revenue is driven by four multipliers: unit pricing, call frequency, module quantity and customer scale, removing constraints of linear growth. Surging Token consumption has fueled sharp ARR rises: approximately 300% month-over-month growth in April, 320% in May, and a 410% quarter-over-quarter jump in June, reflecting continuously accelerating momentum.Penetration across multiple sectors is accelerating, with proven capacity to replicate solutions across sectors. In the first half, the Company secured traction in two new verticals: smart vehicles and low altitude economy. Within manufacturing, it partnered with Getech to build China’s first Token Factory. In connected vehicles, deep partnerships have been established with PATEO and Saime. On computing infrastructure, the Company formed strategic alliances with three major Chinese GPU developers: MetaX, Iluvatar CoreX and Biren Technology.International expansion has reached a critical milestone. In July, Xunce signed a memorandum of understanding with a European digital and AI service provider to jointly develop Token factories tailored for the European market. Europe is renowned for stringent data sovereignty and compliance regulations. TokenOS’s entry into the region serves as top-tier validation of product maturity and compliance frameworks, creating a replicable blueprint for scaled rollout across additional overseas markets.A New Cycle of Exponential Growth has CommencedFirst-half results validate the soundness of the Company’s strategic roadmap. Three successive growth stages ahead pave the way for an extended expansion cycle.In the short term, accelerated TokenOS deployment unlocks large scale revenue expansion. Commercialization of TokenOS remains in the early phase. As more industry-specific Token Factories move from piloting to formal operation, and an increasing number of clients shift from subscription to Token-based payment models, Token-driven revenue is on track to rise from the current 10% to the targeted 20%-30% for the full year, supporting sustained and accelerating ARR growth.Over the medium term, TokenRouters will reshape the growth model. The official launch of TokenRouters scheduled for the second half of the year will systematically break down barriers to Token circulation across enterprises, industries and scenarios. This creates a full value loop covering internal data governance, tokenization, compliant encapsulation, cross-domain circulation and value exchange.Long term, enterprise-specific small models and the data ecosystem together unlock a trillion-dollar market opportunity. The ultimate form of enterprise AI adoption centers on every organization owning privately deployable, continuously evolving domain-specific small models. Xunce has taken an early lead by building a full-stack value chain spanning computing power, data, Tokens, models and applications, establishing substantial first-mover advantages. Among the three core pillars of AI, computing infrastructure and foundational models are already dominated by large tech players. The data layer, however, lacks systematic investment from major players – a strategic gap Xunce aims to fill. The Company bridges the “last mile” for AI adoption, turning large model technology into enterprise productivity.Over the past decade, Xunce has deepened its footprint in financial services and cross-industry data governance via project-based and subscription models, proving the viability of its technology and business model. Looking ahead to the next decade, the Company’s strategic roadmap is clear. Xunce will build on the TokenONE operating system as its foundation, use TokenRouters to enable cross-enterprise value exchange, and leverage enterprise small models to bridge the last mile of AI implementation. A new cycle marked by the shift from linear to exponential growth has commenced.31/07/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

Beyond the Confinement Center: SAINT BELLA Brings a New Model of Postpartum Care to Southern California Homes
In-Home Postpartum Care gives families with Asian heritage a new way to preserve the depth of traditional postpartum support without leaving the privacy and rhythm of home.SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, July 2026 — For many families with Asian heritage in the United States, the weeks after childbirth bring a deeply personal question: how can they preserve the care, rest and nourishment associated with longstanding postpartum traditions while living according to the values and realities of contemporary life?SAINT BELLA is introducing an answer through its In-Home Postpartum Care program, also known as the Nesting Plan. Designed for eligible private homes in Irvine and Newport Beach, the 28-day program brings a coordinated postpartum team into the family’s own residence. The result is a new option for families with Asian heritage—neither relocating to a confinement center nor placing the entire responsibility for postpartum life on relatives or a single caregiver.The premise is simple: a mother should not have to leave the environment in which she feels most secure in order to receive attentive, highly organized support. Instead, care, freshly prepared meals, recovery services and household coordination come to her, while the family remains connected to its own routines, spaces and relationships. The In-Home Postpartum service is scheduled to officially launch across Southern California in mid-August 2026.A postpartum model built around the homeIn the United States, clinical care is centered on pregnancy, delivery and medically necessary follow-up. Yet much of daily postpartum life begins after the family returns home: disrupted sleep, newborn feeding, maternal nourishment, physical recovery, household coordination and the emotional adjustment to a new identity.In-Home Postpartum Care is designed for that everyday space. A dedicated maternal-and-infant care specialist provides 24-hour one-on-one support with newborn routines and non-medical maternal care. A nutrition-focused private chef prepares fresh postpartum meals in the home. Additional members of the service team—including a nursing supervisor, pediatric physician, postpartum recovery specialist, service concierge and location manager—participate according to the agreed schedule and locally permitted scope of service.The seven-role model is not intended to place seven people in the home at once. Its value lies in distribution: different needs are assigned to different roles, while a concierge coordinates the experience so the mother is not required to manage a collection of disconnected providers during one of the most demanding periods of her life.“For families with Asian heritage, postpartum care should not require a choice between tradition and contemporary life. We want mothers to retain what matters most—the time to rest, to be nourished and to be cared for—while remaining in a home that reflects who they are today.”— Danny Xiang, Founder of SAINT BELLA What a supported day at home can feel likeAt night, a trained nanny can assist with feeding routines, burping and soothing so the mother can rest between the moments when she is needed. In the morning, meals are prepared fresh rather than delivered as a standardized daily package. Throughout the stay, the family receives guidance on newborn routines and parent participation, while scheduled professional visits and recovery services are coordinated around the mother’s condition, preferences and household rhythm.The model also makes room for the family itself. Partners and grandparents do not have to be excluded from the earliest weeks, nor do they have to carry every practical responsibility. They can participate in ways that are sustainable, while the mother remains at the center of the postpartum experience.Eastern roots, expressed through contemporary choiceSAINT BELLA's philosophy is rooted in the East Asian belief that the postpartum period is a sacred time - one that calls for rest, nourishment and intentional care. Rather than replicating traditional confinement practices, the program reinterprets their enduring wisdom through a modern, evidence-informed lens, creating a highly personalized, home-based recovery experience that honors each mother's unique needs.Beyond expert maternal and newborn care, the program integrates SAINT BELLA's signature four-stage nutritional framework, holistic postpartum wellness and recovery services, parent education and exclusive Bella Arts workshops. Thoughtfully curated music, literature and art provide moments of inspiration and reflection, transforming postpartum recovery into more than a physical journey. It becomes a time to restore not only the body, but also the mind, identity and spirit - allowing every mother the space to rediscover herself while embracing the beginning of motherhood.Support beyond the first weeksFamilies enrolled in the program may also enjoy selected SAINT BELLA membership privileges and lifecycle services across participating markets, extending support beyond the first 28 days and accompanying families from pregnancy through recovery and early parenthood.SAINT BELLA In-Home Postpartum Care is a signature 28-day in-home postpartum program, currently available at non-apartment, qualifying private residences in Irvine and Newport Beach. Program eligibility, service inclusions and professional support are tailored through a personalized consultation.About SAINT BELLA GroupFounded in 2017, SAINT BELLA Group provides premium postpartum care, recovery, in-home family services and women’s nutrition products across Asia and international markets. Its philosophy, “Loving You Is Loving Life,” places the mother’s dignity and long-term wellbeing at the center of family care.Availability: qualifying non-apartment private residences in Irvine and Newport Beach, California.
