HONG KONG, Apr 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - This article serves as a foundational study for the Noah Medical deep-dive series, aiming to help investors establish a core framework for assessing value in the medical robotics industry.As the medical robotics sector continues to gain momentum, market discussion tends to center on technical specifications and commercialization progress. Yet from a long-term investment perspective, these dimensions alone cannot explain the divergence in value among companies. What truly determines a medical robotics company's long-term worth is not the technology itself—but the level of clinical problem it solves.The global medical robotics market is projected to grow from roughly USD 70–80 billion in 2023 to over USD 200 billion by around 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate above 15%. More notable, however, is the structural shift underway: the industry's core growth driver is moving rapidly from the "surgical execution end" toward the "diagnostic gateway"—that is, earlier disease detection and more accurate early-stage diagnosis and intervention. Competition around device performance is giving way to competition around solving clinical problems themselves.I. A Three-Tier Value Framework: Problem Level Determines Long-Term UpsideAt its core, medical innovation addresses clinical problems that can be organized into three progressive tiers:- Tier 1: Can it be done at all? — Procedures that were previously infeasible or unreliable, representing breakthroughs in clinical capability.- Tier 2: Can it be done faster? — Corresponding to efficiency gains.- Tier 3: Can it be done more affordably? — Corresponding to cost optimization.Most medical robotics innovation today remains concentrated in the latter two tiers—essentially extending existing clinical capabilities. The truly scarce and defensible direction is Tier 1: using technology to make previously unachievable medical procedures safe and accurate, thereby creating breakthrough clinical value.This logic has been validated repeatedly. The da Vinci Surgical System, with a global installed base exceeding 8,000 units and over 2 million annual procedures, owes its sustained high gross margins and steady growth to one thing: its irreplaceable ability to enable complex minimally invasive surgeries that could not otherwise be performed. The same principle applies to TAVR and electrophysiology ablation—each opened new markets by establishing entirely new clinical capabilities.Companies that solve "can it be done at all" typically enjoy higher technological barriers, stronger pricing power, longer product lifecycles, and more pronounced valuation premiums.II. An Overlooked Capability Gap: From Detection to DiagnosisThis framework is particularly clear in lung cancer care. Lung cancer remains one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies worldwide, with over 2.2 million new cases and nearly 1.8 million deaths annually—accounting for more than 18% of all cancer-related mortality.In recent years, the widespread adoption of low-dose CT screening (LDCT) has dramatically improved our ability to detect problems, with pulmonary nodule detection rates reaching 20–30% among high-risk populations. Diagnostic capability, however, has not kept pace—and has instead become a new systemic bottleneck.Consider the challenge of peripheral lung nodules: over 65% of pulmonary nodules are located in the lung periphery, where conventional bronchoscopes face clear limitations in reaching deep-seated lesions. Compounding this, dynamic discrepancies between preoperative CT imaging and the patient's actual respiratory state introduce widespread localization errors in clinical practice.This is not an efficiency problem. It is a capability that has yet to be established. How to reliably access targets within complex pulmonary anatomy, and how to achieve precise localization in a dynamically shifting environment—these capabilities directly determine diagnostic accuracy and safety. They represent a textbook "capability-gap opportunity."For investors, such opportunities share distinct hallmarks: well-defined demand, clear pain points, and high technological barriers. Once a breakthrough is achieved, it typically produces durable competitive moats and extended growth cycles.III. Noah Medical: A Strategic Entry Through the Capability GapAs the industry migrates from "efficiency optimization" to "capability creation," Noah Medical has chosen to enter precisely through the capability gap described above—targeting the core challenge of the confirmatory diagnosis stage in early lung cancer detection, and using technology to enhance lesion access and localization, completing a critical missing link in the diagnostic chain.The technological foundation of this approach lies in the deep integration of real-time image-based localization, AI, and robotic control systems. The Galaxy system dynamically corrects discrepancies between imaging and the patient's anatomy during the procedure, delivering higher-precision lesion localization in complex environments. This is the single most critical technical challenge in diagnosing peripheral lung nodules today.Core Clinical DataSince receiving FDA clearance in 2023, the Galaxy system has been used in over 10,000 clinical procedures across an installed base of more than 50 systems. Robotic navigational bronchoscopy diagnostic yield exceeds 90–93%, with a lesion localization success rate of approximately 96% and a low complication rate, demonstrating a strong safety profile. In the robotic bronchoscopy segment for pulmonary applications, Galaxy holds roughly 5% market share and remains in a phase of rapid growth.From a market standpoint, the global natural orifice surgical robotics market is expected to surpass USD 80 billion, with the lung cancer biopsy sub-segment alone representing approximately USD 6 billion. China's surgical robotics market is projected to sustain a 30–36% compound annual growth rate over the coming years, with select early-stage innovative sub-segments growing even faster. More critically, the shift toward non-invasive approaches is continuously expanding the addressable patient population—patients previously excluded due to procedural risk or diagnostic difficulty are steadily entering the diagnosable and treatable pool.The core value of Noah Medical's chosen path lies in combining assured demand with room for expansion: on one hand, lung cancer diagnosis and treatment represents a large and steadily growing base of inelastic clinical need; on the other, the precision access and localization capabilities built on the natural orifice approach carry platform potential for replication across other specialties.Noah Medical is not positioned in a single-product niche. It sits along a capability pathway with the potential for progressive, multi-specialty expansion.ConclusionThe investment logic of medical robotics ultimately comes down to a judgment about problem hierarchy. Amid similar levels of technological excitement and market narrative, the companies that choose to tackle clinical problems not yet effectively solved—and that create new medical capabilities through technology—are the ones most likely to deliver true long-term structural value.Noah Medical is a representative company worthy of sustained attention within this framework. Subsequent articles in this series will further examine its technology pathway, clinical evidence, and commercialization trajectory.— This is the first article in the Noah Medical deep-dive research series Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2026年4月13日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 本文系 Noah Medical 系列深度报告的铺垫性研究，旨在帮助投资者建立医疗机器人行业的核心价值判断框架在医疗机器人赛道持续升温的当下，市场的讨论往往聚焦于技术参数与商业化进展。然而，从长期投资视角来看，这些维度并不足以解释企业之间的价值分化。真正决定一家医疗机器人公司长期价值的，是其所解决的临床问题的层级--而非技术本身。全球医疗机器人市场规模预计从2023年约700至800亿美元，增长至2030年前后的2000亿美元以上，年复合增速超过15%。更值得关注的是结构性变化：行业的核心增量正加速从"手术执行端"转移至"诊疗入口端"，即更早发现疾病、更准确完成早期诊断与介入。围绕设备性能的竞争，正在让位于围绕"解决临床问题本身"的竞争。一、三层价值逻辑：问题层级决定长期空间拆解医疗创新的本质，临床问题可分为三个递进层级：第一层：能不能做--原本难以实现或稳定性不足的医疗行为，对应临床能力的突破；第二层：做得快不快--对应效率提升；第三层：做得便不便宜--对应成本优化。当前大多数医疗机器人公司的创新仍集中于后两个层级，本质是对既有医疗能力的延伸。真正稀缺且具备长期壁垒的方向，是切入第一层--通过技术手段，使原本难以完成的医疗行为能够被安全、准确地实现，从而创造突破性的临床价值。这一逻辑已被行业反复验证。达芬奇手术系统全球装机量超过8000台、年手术量超过200万例，其长期高毛利率与稳定增长，核心源于其在复杂微创手术中无可替代的"能力替代性"。TAVR、电生理消融等技术同理--均是通过建立新的临床能力开辟新的市场空间。解决"能不能做"的公司，通常具备更高的技术门槛、更强的定价能力、更长的产品生命周期，以及更显著的估值溢价。二、被忽视的临床能力缺口：从"发现"到"确诊"这一框架，在肺癌诊疗领域尤为清晰。肺癌是全球发病率与死亡率最高的恶性肿瘤之一，每年新增病例超过220万，死亡人数接近180万，占全部癌症死亡的18%以上。近年来，低剂量CT筛查（LDCT）的普及显著提升了"发现问题"的能力--高风险人群中肺结节检出率可达20%至30%。然而，确诊能力并未同步提升，反而成为新的系统性瓶颈。在肺外周结节场景中，超过65%的肺结节位于肺外周区域，传统支气管镜触达深部病灶的成功率存在明显局限。同时，术前CT影像与患者实际呼吸状态之间的动态差异，导致定位误差在临床实践中普遍存在。这不是效率问题，而是能力尚未建立的问题。如何在复杂肺部结构中实现稳定触达、如何在动态环境中完成精准定位--这些核心能力直接决定诊断准确性与安全性，构成典型的"能力缺口型机会"。对投资者而言，这类机会具有明显特征：需求确定、痛点清晰、技术门槛高，一旦突破，往往形成持久壁垒与更长的增长周期。三、Noah Medical：切入能力缺口的战略选择在行业从"效率优化"向"能力创造"迁移的过程中，Noah Medical选择从上述能力缺口切入，聚焦于肺癌早诊过程中确诊环节的核心问题，通过技术手段提升病灶触达与定位能力，补齐诊断链条的关键一环。这一路径的技术基础，在于影像实时定位、AI与机器人控制系统的深度融合。Galaxy系统能够在手术过程中动态修正影像与人体之间的偏差，实现复杂环境下更高精度的病灶定位--这正是当前肺外周结节诊断中最关键的技术难点。核心临床数据Galaxy系统自2023年获FDA批准以来，已累计完成超过10,000例临床手术，装机量超过50台；机器人导航支气管镜诊断率可达90%至93%以上，病灶定位成功率约96%，并发症发生率低，安全性表现良好。在同类肺部机器人支气管镜领域，市场份额约5%，仍处于高速增长阶段。从市场空间来看，全球自然腔道手术机器人市场规模预计超过800亿美元，其中肺癌活检细分市场约60亿美元。中国手术机器人市场预计未来数年保持30%至36%的复合增长率，而部分早期创新细分赛道增速更高。更关键的是，无创化技术路径正在持续扩大潜在诊疗人群--原本因创伤风险或诊疗难度被排除在外的患者，正逐步进入可诊断与可治疗范围。Noah Medical所选择路径的核心价值，在于兼具"确定性需求"与"扩展性空间"：一方面，肺癌诊疗对应庞大且持续增长的刚性临床需求；另一方面，基于自然腔道路径所建立的精准触达与定位能力，具备向其他科室复制拓展的平台潜力。Noah Medical所处的，并非单点产品赛道，而是一条有望逐步延伸的能力路径。结语医疗机器人行业的投资逻辑，本质是一场"问题层级"的判断。在同样的技术热度与市场叙事之下，那些选择切入尚未被有效解决的临床问题、并通过技术创造新增医疗能力的企业，往往才是真正具备长期结构性价值的投资标的。Noah Medical正是在这一框架下值得持续关注的代表性公司。后续系列文章，将进一步拆解其技术路径、临床数据与商业化进展。- 本文为 Noah Medical 系列深度研究第一篇 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

LAS VEGAS, NV, Apr 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A Clark County District Court judge has ruled against Jason Shurka in an ongoing case brought by Energy Enhancement System, LLC. Judge Timothy C. Williams denied Shurka's anti-SLAPP motion to dismiss in its entirety, finding that his public statements about EESystem were "not made in good faith" and "were made with knowledge of their falsehood" (Case No. A-25-910216-B). In separate federal proceedings in Florida and Nevada, courts ordered Shurka to pay a combined $54,034.05 in sanctions after judges found his attempts to move the case to federal court lacked a reasonable legal basis.Shurka had filed the anti-SLAPP motion claiming his public statements about EESystem were protected speech made in good faith. Judge Williams rejected that defense in its entirety. Under Nevada's anti-SLAPP statute, that denial means the court found Shurka could not meet even the threshold requirement of demonstrating his statements were made without knowledge of their falsity. In plain terms: the judge ruled he knew what he was saying was not true when he said it.The Clark County ruling is the latest in a series of legal defeats for Shurka across multiple jurisdictions. Federal judges have repeatedly returned his filings to the state courts where EESystem originally brought its claims, with one federal judge in Florida characterizing his removal attempt as "objectively baseless."A forensic analysis has also entered the permanent public record at the Zenodo EU Open Research Repository (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19389516). The report identifies the hardware behind The Light System as commercial LED display panels available at wholesale for $900 to $1,200, sold to consumers at prices reaching over $106,000. The study used to market the device was conducted on a single undisclosed test subject using shed mouth cells - the kind your body discards on its own - that burst and die on contact with the liquid the researcher placed them in.The litigation began after Shurka, once involved in a limited marketing capacity with EESystem, launched a competing venture and made public statements that courts have now found to be knowingly false.Active case dockets are publicly accessible: Energy Enhancement System, LLC v.

NICOSIA, Apr 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) -?Fintech infrastructure provider FinHarbor has repackaged its Hybrid Neobank Module into a unified launch stack that combines regulated fiat banking with a full-featured centralized exchange engine. Financial platforms, exchanges, and digital asset companies can now deploy both under a single infrastructure rather than assembling them from separate vendors.The move addresses a consistent pain point: operators building hybrid fiat-crypto products have had to piece together exchange engines, banking integrations, compliance layers, and treasury infrastructure from multiple providers. FinHarbor bundles these into one deployable system.A Production-Grade CEX at the CoreThe exchange engine at the heart of the module is built for serious trading volumes and low-latency execution ? relevant both for institutional market makers and algorithmic strategies running at scale. Exact throughput and latency parameters are configured to match each operator's infrastructure requirements.The platform supports Spot, Margin, and Perpetual Futures trading ? open-ended contracts with no expiry date. Traders get a full professional order type suite: Limit, Market, and Stop orders, with Time-in-Force controls and Post Only mode for passive liquidity provision.The trading terminal runs on both web and mobile and includes a full order book with bid/ask depth and cumulative volume, TradingView charting with click-to-price order entry, a depth chart, real-time trade history, and a live view of active, executed, and cancelled orders. Trading pairs ? crypto, fiat, and local payment instruments in any combination ? are configurable per operator and can be shown selectively to different user groups: retail, institutional, and internal.API Access for Bots and Market MakersThe exchange connects via REST, WebSocket, or FIX. A single API key covers both the wallet and the exchange, with granular permission settings managed directly from the interface. This makes the platform usable for bot trading, algorithmic strategies, and third-party market maker integrations without additional infrastructure on the operator's side.Liquidity is structured by user tier: institutional pairs run on automated market making with external liquidity aggregation, retail pairs are hedged through multi-leg chains, and internal pairs support manual market making with end-of-day hedging.Two Accounts, One EcosystemEach user operates with multiple accounts within a single ecosystem: a Main Account for deposits, withdrawals, on/off-ramp, and card operations, plus dedicated trading accounts for Spot, Margin, and Futures activity."The line between banking apps and trading platforms is disappearing," said Ilya Podoynitsyn, CEO of FinHarbor. "Operators no longer want to assemble five vendors to go live ? wallets, exchange engines, compliance, fiat rails, treasury. They need a single infrastructure layer they can deploy, configure, and scale. That's what we've built."Risk Controls Built Into the ExchangeThe trading layer includes: Fat Finger Protection against erroneous order submission, Price Slippage Limits, Self-Match Prevention, a User Kill Switch for emergency account deactivation, Cancel on Disconnect for FIX sessions, Message Throttling, and Mass Cancel for rapid position clearing. All trading activity feeds directly into the platform's AML monitoring and accounting systems.Compliance and Treasury as Core InfrastructureA unified AML and KYC layer covers both fiat and crypto flows, with source-of-funds checks, sanctions screening, and KYT monitoring embedded into onboarding and transactions. Treasury-configured hedging protects operators against exchange rate moves during crypto-fiat conversion.This matters particularly as MiCA in Europe and expanding licensing regimes across MENA raise the compliance bar for hybrid financial products.Built for Operators Expanding Beyond PaymentsThe module is aimed at:● challenger banks entering crypto with exchange functionality● exchanges adding regulated fiat rails and neobanking features● wallets expanding into active trading products● OTC and treasury platforms building client-facing financial productsThe stack also connects to external loyalty and rewards platforms, enabling cashback, points, and retention mechanics without proprietary development.About FinHarborFinHarbor is a technical platform provider for launching compliant, modular financial products ? from wallets and neobanks to crypto ramps and OTC desks. Built on years of real-world fintech experience, the platform covers onboarding, compliance, wallets, transactions, cards, and reporting, delivered with a microservice-based architecture (ISO/PCI DSS-certified), a robust API layer, and on-premise or cloud-ready deployment. FinHarbor supports fiat-only, crypto-native, and hybrid business models across markets in Europe, MENA, and beyond.

HONG KONG, Apr 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In recent years, young consumers’ preferences have evolved rapidly, with demand for personalization and experiential consumption becoming increasingly prominent. Young consumers’ choices are profoundly rewriting the inherent logic of industry competition — what they seek is not only products, but emotional value and cultural resonance. This is particularly evident in the spiritual consumption space represented by pop toys. The market’s appetite for high quality products that combine design aesthetics, emotional depth, and social attributes continues to grow.Among the many emerging brands, TOP TOY targets Gen Z consumers, family customers, and loyal brand fans as its core audience. Backed by a diverse product portfolio, robust IP operation capabilities, and strong financial performance, it is widely recognized in the market as an industry benchmark in the pop toy sector with both high growth potential and significant brand influence. According to Frost & Sullivan, TOP TOY is the largest and fastest-growing pop toy multi-brand store chain in China, with GMV reaching RMB4.2 billion in mainland China in 2025.Financially, TOP TOY has achieved rapid revenue growth in recent years. Revenue rose from RMB1.461 billion in 2023 to RMB3.587 billion in 2025, representing a CAGR of 56.7%, marking a leap forward in scale. Gross margin improved steadily from 31.4% in 2023 to 32.1% in 2025, reflecting a gradual uplift in overall profitability. Affected by one-off non-cash items such as equity-settled share-based payment expenses and fair value changes on redemption liabilities liabilities, the Company posted a net profit of RMB101 million in 2025. Adjusted net profit reached RMB523 million, up 77.5% year-on-year, demonstrating strong growth momentum.Full Value Chain Layout: Building Competitive Moats in the Pop Toy IndustryThe core competitiveness of the pop toy industry lies not only in IP creation, but also in the ability to turn content into a sustainable business system that maximizes IP value. What makes TOP TOY unique is that it has built an integrated platform covering all key links of the industry value chain. TOP TOY is one of only two brands in the industry that have achieved full coverage of the pop toy full industry chain, from IP incubation and operation to direct consumer interaction, while holding a leading position across the entire chain. This allows the Company to build a distinctive competitive moat.In the IP incubation and product R&D stage, TOP TOY focuses on self-developed products and adopts a parallel strategy of “proprietary + licensed + third-party” IPs, forming a diverse IP resource pool. As of the end of March 2026, TOP TOY has built an IP matrix comprising 24 proprietary IPs, 42 licensed IPs, and over 660 third-party IPs. Among these, its self-developed products accounted for over 55% of revenue, establishing it as a highly competitive trendy toy brand in the industry.In terms of product R&D, TOP TOY focuses on three core categories — model figures, 3D building blocks, and vinyl plush toys. Among these, vinyl plush toys have emerged as the most prominent growth category, with its revenue share increasing significantly from 3.5% in 2024 to 31.6% in 2025, generating RMB1.102 billion for the full year. Meanwhile, through its “X-category” mechanism, it develops products across diverse categories to flexibly seize market opportunities.In the channel sales stage, TOP TOY has constructed an omni-channel network with both depth and breadth, enabling in-depth access to global trendy culture consumers. Offline, it adopts a hierarchical layout of “flagship + mainstream + pop-up”, with the number of stores reaching 334 as of December 31, 2025. By providing immersive interactive experiences, it achieves effective brand exposure and enables the Company to promptly collect first-hand user feedback, providing information for the Company’s product design and channel selection strategies. Online, it covers major e-commerce platforms and distributes products through large retailers such as Sam’s Club and Don Don Donki, as well as other diversified retail channels. This omni-channel layout not only expands the scope of consumer reach but also forms a consumption closed loop of “offline experience - online repurchase”. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 12 million registered members, making it one of the companies with the largest member base in the trendy toy industry.Leveraging the integrated operation of full value chain, TOP TOY has achieved synergy across all links — the richness of its IP portfolio ensures product appeal, the extensiveness of its channels expands market coverage and establishes emotional connections with consumers, and the Company has also built strong ecosystem partnerships. The linkage of these three elements drives the maximization of IP value, forming a rare full-industry-chain competitiveness among domestic trendy play enterprises.Taking the Proprietary IP Matrix as the Core: Building a Core Engine for Long-term GrowthThrough its in-house original IP incubation team, TOP TOY has created many popular proprietary IP characters. The Company is dedicated to promoting these proprietary IPs to expand their reach across diverse markets, foster deeper audience engagement, and drive sustained growth. On the other hand, through the acquisition of multiple IP design studios such as Sure Fun and Sugar Pocket, TOP TOY has integrated IPs like “Nommi” and “Ninimo ” into its proprietary IP matrix, accelerating its IP layout process.As of the end of March 2026, TOP TOY had 24 proprietary IPs. Among them, the “Nommi” IP delivered an outstanding performance, with its 2025 GMV exceeding RMB200 million. Proprietary IPs not only attract consumers through unique designs and cultural connotations but also extend their life cycles and amplify their value through diversified operational strategies, such as the continuous release of new product series, the creation of offline experiential scenarios, and cross-over IP collaborations.Furthermore, TOP TOY continues to consolidate long-term, stable cooperative relationships with top global IPs such as Sanrio, Disney and Crayon Shin-chan. By creating hit products through IP reinvention, the Company not only rapidly broadens market awareness but also accumulates mature IP operation experience and consumer insights, laying a solid foundation for the development of its self-developed products.Leveraging the continuous expansion of its proprietary IP matrix and stable licensing cooperation with major IPs, the Company continues to intensify its layout of self-developed products. As the proportion of self-developed products steadily increases, its scale effect continues to be unleashed, driving a continuous improvement in the overall gross margin. Looking ahead, with an increasing revenue contribution from self-developed products and the impact of economies of scale, the Company’s gross margin is expected to rise further, unlocking greater profit elasticity.Accelerating Global Expansion to Open Up New Growth SpaceNotably, while consolidating its advantages in the Chinese market, TOP TOY is extending its business reach to overseas markets. To date, the Company has entered markets such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Japan, with the number of overseas stores reaching 39. In terms of revenue, the proportion of TOP TOY’s overseas business rapidly increased from 0.6% to 8.2%, fully demonstrating strong overseas growth momentum.In terms of market potential, the overseas global pop toy market still has significant growth space. Taking mature consumer markets such as North America and Europe as examples, local consumers have a relatively high per capita consumption amount on pop toy, and their willingness to pay for original IP and cultural recognition are also prominent. However, the layout of emerging pop toy categories in local markets is still relatively limited, and the overall market penetration rate is at a low level, with broad incremental space and potential for exploration in the future. The above market advantages and development opportunities together constitute the core logic and realistic basis for TOP TOY to focus on laying out the above developed country markets. In the future, relying on the advantages of the full value chain synergy and mature IP operation experience, the overseas market is expected to become an important incremental engine for the Company.The market’s attention to pop toy companies is essentially a consideration of their IP operation capabilities and sustainability. TOP TOY has demonstrated a clear development logic by virtue of its two core advantages: the fully integrated platform and a diversified IP matrix. Amid accelerating consolidation in the pop toy industry and rising consumer demand, if TOP TOY can continue to deepen the synergy effect of the full value chain, strengthen the influence of its proprietary IP, and superimpose the gradual growth of the overseas incremental market, it is expected to seize opportunities in the fragmented market pattern, further solidifying its industry leadership and unlocking long-term potential.

HONG KONG, Apr 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The luxury NEV maker has now been profitable for two consecutive years, signaling more stable footing in a competitive market.Caption: Image courtesy of Seres Group.Driven by policy support, shifting consumer demand, and advances in technology, China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) industry is entering a new phase of development, with Seres Group positioning itself at its center. On April 8, the Hong Kong-listed NEV maker (ticker code: 9927.HK) reported results that reflect its technology capabilities, product lineup, and international expansion strategy.In 2025, Seres recorded operating revenue of RMB 164.89 billion (USD 24 billion), up 13.63% year-on-year. Net profit attributable to shareholders reached RMB 5.96 billion (USD 867.3 million). Revenue hit a record high, and the company said it has now reported profitability for two consecutive years, achieving a notable milestone in an industry where many players remain loss-making.Aito builds position in luxury NEV segmentSeres attributed its latest performance to ongoing product development and brand positioning. It said it continues to align its strategy with user demand while refining its product mix and market focus.As an early entrant into China’s premium NEV segment, the company has sought to differentiate through what it describes as “technology luxury,” a term it uses to position its vehicles.Its premium brand, Aito, reported strong delivery figures for 2025. The Aito M9 exceeded 110,000 units in annual deliveries and was described by the company as the bestselling model in the RMB 500,000 (USD 72,757) segment for two consecutive years, 2024 and 2025. Meanwhile, the Aito M8 delivered more than 150,000 units during the year, maintaining its position as the top-selling model in the RMB 400,000 (USD 58,206) segment since launch. The Aito M7 also surpassed 110,000 units.Combined, these three models pushed Aito’s total annual deliveries above 420,000 units. Seres said this made Aito the leading high-end automotive brand in China by sales and set a new delivery pace in the segment.Beyond product performance, the figures point to the broader rise of Chinese brands in the premium global automotive market.In assisted driving, Seres said it increased R&D investment and made technical progress. In 2025, Aito vehicles accumulated 3.8 billion kilometers of assisted driving mileage. During the 2026 Lunar New Year holiday, 51.9% of mileage driven by Aito M9 vehicles was generated using assisted driving functions, according to the company. These figures indicate growing adoption and suggest increasing maturity of the company’s assisted driving system.Seres added that the data and expertise accumulated to date will support further development and iteration of its assisted driving systems.Strong cash flow and ESG positioningThe company’s financial position also strengthened. As of December 31, 2025, net cash flow from operating activities reached RMB 28.12 billion (USD 4.1 billion), nearly five times its net profit. Seres attributed this to its robust cash flow management and revenue generation, which it said provide resilience against industry cycles and support continued investment in R&D, product development, and international expansion.Seres also emphasized its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts. It said it has sought to integrate ESG principles across R&D and supply chain operations, with a focus on achieving long-term sustainability and alignment with broader societal and environmental goals.Its endeavors have earned it an AAA ESG rating from MSCI, its highest tier, according to the company. The rating reflects its governance framework and ESG management, and may influence its appeal to both retail and institutional investors.Looking ahead, Seres plans to focus on expanding production capacity, investing further in core technologies, and broadening its distribution network.Often compared with Western luxury automotive brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Seres has had to manage high expectations around product quality and brand positioning. Its latest results, if anything, suggest it is not only making progress toward meeting those expectations, but also hint at its potential to eventually surpass them.

The Acquisition will require shareholder approval under the policies of the Exchange, which the Company anticipates receiving by way of written resolution of its shareholders.Stria Lithium Chairman Jeff York said: "We are delighted to embark on this new chapter with a high-growth royalty strategy backed by an extremely successful and experienced team."Adam and Tyron are royalty specialists with an outstanding track record and Steve and Mike are highly successful resources executives who have generated exceptional shareholder returns."The combination of this team, our balance sheet, access to capital and deal flow will enable Stria to build a significant portfolio in this rapidly growing sector."The acquisition of the Mt Henry royalty is a strong start in our new strategy. With Alicanto moving quickly to create value at Mt Henry through drilling, Stria is well-positioned to share in the upside as the project advances towards production.Management AppointmentStria is pleased to announce that, subject to and following the closing of the Acquisition, it will appoint experienced royalty company executives Adam Davidson as Chief Executive Officer, Tyron Rees as Vice President Corporate Development, and Sam Brooks as Project Generation Geologist. Current Chief Executive Officer Dean Hanish will remain on the board and transition to non-executive director.Mr Davidson and Mr Rees founded AIM-listed Trident Royalties. Trident grew from a small AIM-listed shell into a diversified mining royalty company over a relatively short period, demonstrating a highly effective growth and acquisition strategy. From its listing, the company rapidly assembled a portfolio of royalties and offtakes across multiple commodities and jurisdictions through disciplined deal-making and creative financing structures. Over four years, Trident expanded to holding more than twenty assets acquired through a series of transactions, building meaningful market awareness and liquidity in the process. The strategy culminated in the acquisition of the company by Deterra Royalties in 2024 for circa US$200 million.Mr Parsons and Mr Naylor are the founding Directors of several highly successful ASX-listed resources companies having identified, acquired and funded projects, devised and implemented exploration and development strategies and created substantial shareholder value.Mr Parsons and Mr Naylor founded ASX200 Bellevue Gold Limited (ASX: BGL) leading the business through discovery, funding, development and construction of the 3 million oz Bellevue gold mine in Western Australia.They are also founding directors and executives of ASX300 (and TSX) FireFly Metals and were instrumental in the successful acquisition and subsequent growth of the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland, Canada.Prior to that Mr Parsons was the founding Managing Director and Mr Naylor was the Chief Financial Officer of Gryphon Minerals Ltd, which discovered a large multi-million ounce gold project in Burkina Faso, West Africa and grew to be an ASX200 company prior to its takeover by a significant North American gold company and becoming a major gold producing mine.Mr Brooks complements this track record, having served as Chief Geologist of Bellevue Gold, and previously as a director of Auteco, now FireFly Metals, as well as a key technical geologist at Gryphon Minerals.Royalty PurchaseStria has entered into the Investment Agreement for the acquisition of up to a 2% NSR royalty on the Mount Henry Gold Project in Western Australia.

Brian Wolfe is a consultant to Stria.Historical Mineral Resource Disclosure While the historical estimates on the Mt Henry Gold Project were reportedly prepared in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ("JORC Code") (2012) in effect at the time, consistency with current standards is not assured. The Company considers these historical estimates to be relevant as they indicate the potential presence and scale of mineralization on the Mt Henry Gold Project. The historical resource categories used are consistent with those defined in NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves; however, a QP has not done sufficient work to classify these historical estimates as current mineral resources, and the Company is not treating them as current mineral resources.The Mt Henry historical resource estimate was reported on the 17th of December 2025 0n the Australian securities exchange (ASX) by Alicanto Minerals Ltd prepared using the JORC code of reporting. Reporting classification is consistent with the CIM code of reporting. The historical resource estimate has been reviewed by the QP who has confirmed the historical estimate has been appropriately estimated.To the extent known and insofar as existing available documentation indicates, the historical estimate described can be considered to be reliable under the JORC code (2012). The description of work undertaken, assumptions and chosen parameters demonstrate competency in the procedures and workflow required. Although historical data back to 1980 has been included, sufficient detail is maintained in the available database to ensure integrity. Only suitable drilling (Diamond core and RC) and surveying techniques have been employed. Sampling and assaying techniques described are to industry standard. The estimation methodology, Ordinary Kriging with Localised Uniform Kriging post processing are standard methods and appropriate for the style of mineralization. The reporting classification of Measured, Indicated and Inferred is consistent with the CIM code of reporting. Applied mining factors and assumptions appear reasonable. A history of mining with good reconciliation of mine claimed to mill recovered provides confidence in the accuracy of the estimate.Key assumptions and parameters of the December 2025 historical Resource Estimate reproduced from the AQI ASX press release dated 17th of December 2025 are tabulated below.CriteriaExplanationCommentaryDatabase IntegrityMeasures taken to ensure that data has not been corrupted by, for example, transcription or keying errors, between its initial collection and its use for Mineral Resource estimation purposes.Data validation procedures used.As new data was acquired it passed through a validation approval system designed to pick up any significant errors before the information is loaded into the master database.The Competent Person, Mr Palich, has undertaken sufficient independent checks on the database integrity to conclude there are no material discrepanciesA visual review of down hole survey outcomes has shown no material deviations Site VisitsComment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent Person and the outcome of those visits.If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the caseA site visit was made by the Competent Person, Mr Ben Palich, on December 9, 2025.During the visit Mr Palich discussed the logging facilities, geological and logging processes, sampling and core handling process and operating procedures. Additionally, existing open pit excavations were reviewed, and Mr Palich observed the location of a number of collar locations from the drilling.Geological interpretationConfidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) the geological interpretation of the mineral deposit.Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made.The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral Resource estimation.The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral Resource estimation.The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geologyConfidence in the geological interpretation at MHGP is high. The current geological interpretation has been a precursor to successful mining over the yearsThe data and assumptions used do suggest that any significant alternative geological interpretation is unlikely.Geology (lithological units, alterations, structure, veining) have been used to guide and control Mineral Resource estimation for MHGP. There is a strong geological control to the mineralisation interpretation. The deposit is essentially strata hosted within a sheared Banded Iron Formation (BIF). The shear is essentially contiguous along the upper contact of the BIF and an overlying mafic unitNo alternative interpretations are currently considered viable.Geological interpretation of the deposit was carried out using a systematic approach to ensure that the resultant estimated Mineral Resource was both sufficiently constrained, and representative of the expected sub-surface conditions. In all aspects of resource estimation the factual and interpreted geology was used to guide the development of the interpretation.Geological matrixes were established to assist with interpretation and construction of the estimation domains.The structural regime is the dominant control on geological and grade continuity in the Goldfields. Lithological factors such as rheology contrast are secondary controls on grade distribution.Low-grade stockpiles are derived from previous mining of the mineralisation styles outlined above.DimensionsThe extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length(along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower limits of the mineral ResourceThe Mt Henry mineralised domain is approximately 2km long and has a down dip extent of 280m and is open at depth. The deposit consists of a main lode that varies between 3m and 40m thick with numerous parallel lodesThe Selene mineralised domain is approximately 1.3km long, has a down dip of extent of up to 440m and is open at depth. The deposit consists of a main lode that varies between 10m and 50m thick with numerous parallel lodes at various stages along the length of the deposit.The North Scotia mineralized domain is approximately 450m long and has a down dip of extent of 110m and is open at depth. The deposit consists of multiple NNE trending quartz lodes that vary between 1m and 5m in true thickness with numerous thinner parallel lodes at various stages along the length of the deposit.Low-grade stockpiles are of various dimensions.Estimation and modelling techniques.The nature and appropriateness of the estimation technique(s) applied and key assumptions, including treatment of extreme grade values, domaining, interpolation parameters, maximum distance of extrapolation from data points. The availability of check estimates, previous estimates and/or mine production records and whether the Mineral Resource estimate takes appropriate account of such data. The assumptions made regarding recovery of by-products. Estimation of deleterious elements or other non-grade variables of economic significance (e.g. sulphur for acid mine drainage characterisation).In the case of block model interpolation, the block size in relation to the average sample spacing and the search employed. Any assumptions behind modelling of selective mining units. Any assumptions about correlation between variables.The process of validation, the checking process used, the comparison of model data to drillhole data, and use of reconciliation data if available.After validating the drillhole data to be used in the estimation, interpretation of the orebody is undertaken in sectional and / or plan view to create the outline strings which form the basis of the three-dimensional orebody wireframe. Wireframing is then carried out using a combination of automated stitching algorithms and manual triangulation to create an accurate three-dimensional representation of the sub-surface mineralised body.Drillhole intersections within the mineralised body are defined, these intersections are then used to flag the appropriate sections of the drillhole database tables for compositing purposes. Drillholes are subsequently composited to allow for grade estimation. In all aspects of resource estimation, the factual and interpreted geology was used to guide the development of the interpretation.Once the sample data has been composited, a statistical analysis is undertaken to assist with determining estimation search parameters, top-cuts etc. Variographic analysis of individual domains is undertaken to assist with determining appropriate search parameters. Which are then incorporated with observed geological and geometrical features to determine the most appropriate search parameters.An empty block model is then created for the area of interest. This model contains attributes set at background values for the various elements of interest as well as density, and various estimation parameters that are subsequently used to assist in resource categorisation. The block sizes used in the model will vary depending on orebody geometry, minimum mining units, estimation parameters and levels of informing data available.Grade estimation was completed using ordinary kriging estimation method, and localised uniform conditioning (LUC) method.The resource is then depleted for mining voids and subsequently classified in line with JORC guidelines utilising a combination of various estimation derived parameters and geological/mining knowledge.Estimation results are routinely validated against primary input data, previous estimates and mining output.Good reconciliation between mine claimed figures and milled figures were routinely achieved during production.MoistureWhether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or with natural moisture, and the method of determination of the moisture content.Tonnage estimates are dry tonnesCut-off parametersThe basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters appliedThe cut-off grades used for the reporting of the Mineral Resources have been selected based on the style of mineralisation, depth from surface of the mineralisation and the most probable extraction technique and associated costsMining factors or assumptionsAssumptions made regarding possible mining methods, minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if applicable, external) mining dilution. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential mining methods, but the assumptions made regarding mining methods and parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the mining assumptions madeVariable by deposit.No mining dilution or ore loss has been modelled in the resource model or applied to the reported Mineral Resource with the exception of the Selene Mineral Resource which has implicit dilution included through the use of LUC.Metallurgical factors or assumptionsThe basis for assumptions or predictions regarding metallurgical amenability. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential metallurgical methods, but the assumptions regarding metallurgical treatment processes and parameters made when reporting Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the metallurgical assumptions made.Metallurgical recovery assumptions have been applied to reported Mineral Resources by reporting inside A$2160 pit shells and are based on test work and processing records from processing the Mt Henry deposit ore through the Higginsville plant.Assumed recoveries of oxide material for all deposits was 94%, whereas assumed recovery for fresh material at Mt Henry was 86.2%, Selene was 88.6%, and North Scotia was 82%.Environmental factors or assumptionsAssumptions made regarding possible waste and process residue disposal options. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider the potential environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation. While at this stage the determination of potential environmental impacts, particularly for a greenfields project, may not always be well advanced, the status of early consideration of these potential environmental impacts should be reported. Where these aspects have not been considered this should be reported with an explanation of the environmental assumptions made.The mine and exploration programs operated in accordance with all environmental conditions set down as conditions for grant of the respective leasesBulk densityWhether assumed or determined. If assumed, the basis for the assumptions. If determined, the method used, whether wet or dry, the frequency of the measurements, the nature, size and representativeness of the samples.The bulk density for bulk material must have been measured by methods that adequately account for void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc.), moisture and differences between rock and alteration zones within the deposit. Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in the evaluation process of the different materials.Bulk density of the mineralisation is variable and is for the most part lithology and oxidation rather than mineralisation dependent.A large suite of bulk density determinations has been carried out across the project areas.The bulk densities were separated into different weathering domains and lithological domains.Past mining history has validated the assumptions made surrounding bulk density.ClassificationThe basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources into varying confidence categories.Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant factors (i.e. relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data, confidence in continuity of geology and metal values, quality, quantity and distribution of the data).Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent Person's view of the deposit.Resources are classified in line with JORC guidelines utilising a combination of various estimation derived parameters, input data and geological / mining knowledge.Drillhole spacing to support classification varies based upon lode characteristics.Measured ranges from 10-35m, Indicated from 10-60m and Inferred from 10-200m.This approach considers all relevant factors and reflects the Competent Person's view of the deposit.Audits or reviewsThe results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource estimates.This Mineral Resource Estimate has not been reviewed or audited externally.The Mineral Resource estimates have been reviewed by Alicanto geologists and are considered to appropriately reflect the mineralization styles and grade tenor supported by drilling data.Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidenceWhere appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors that could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate.The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used.These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared with production data, where available.All currently reported resource estimates are considered robust, and representative on both a global and local scale.A continuing history of mining with good reconciliation of mine claimed to mill recovered provides confidence in the accuracy of the estimate Work needed to convert the JORC MRE as described above includes (but is not limited to) the following:-Additional database checks to demonstrate the veracity of the data including checks of assay certificates against the master database.Analysis and review of all available assay quality control data.Review of the existing geological and mineralisation interpretations.A full geostatistical review and analysis using the resultant geological and mineralisation interpretations.Determination of the most appropriate geostatistical estimation methods applicable.Classification of the grade estimates consistent with the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.Assessment of the classified grade estimates using suitable reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE) criteria and reporting of the Mineral Resource subsequent to application of the resultant RPEEE criteria.Neither Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.Completion of the Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and shareholder approval.
