Domestic energy storage system shipments reached 3.7GWh, up 105.6% year-on-year. Leveraging its proprietary Xinghan vertical large language model and AI algorithm capabilities, the Group achieved intelligent upgrades in power generation, load, and electricity price forecasting, and completed integration with VPP and electricity pricing platforms. This supports autonomous strategy control of household energy systems and proactive safety O&M of the systems, significantly improving customers’ energy utilization efficiency and economic returns. In overseas markets, in the first half of 2026 the Group established subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK, the Netherlands, etc., building localized operation networks and service teams to develop comprehensive local service capabilities. A strategic breakthrough was achieved in the UK market, where the Group successfully entered the government-level projects, with its product compliance and localized delivery capabilities validated and brand recognition further enhanced. In Africa, the Group continued to deepen its presence, with localized networks in core markets continuously improved, driving rapid growth in business scale and further consolidating the Company’s market position in the African residential energy storage sector. According to CIC, based on newly installed capacity and shipment volume of multi-purpose energy storage systems globally in 2025, the Group ranked ninth among global energy storage system suppliers and seventh among Chinese suppliers worldwide, and stands among the global frontrunners in the African residential energy storage sector, underscoring the effectiveness of the Group’s strategy as recognized by an authoritative industry institution. In terms of capacity layout, in the first half of the year the Group added two new production bases in Chengdu and Lianyungang. The Group simultaneously advanced the construction of intelligent production lines for utility-scale energy storage and the capacity expansion of residential energy storage lines, systematically implementing intelligent manufacturing upgrades across all bases, significantly enhancing its in-house manufacturing capabilities and continuously reducing its reliance on external OEMs. At the supply chain management level, the Group integrated global resources and implemented lean manufacturing, leveraging economies of scale in procurement to effectively control raw material costs, effectively mitigating the impact of price fluctuations on profitability and ensuring steady and sustainable profit levels.

Leveraging multidimensional risk models, the Group further optimised its customer mix, while enhancing the credit approval and drawdown experience, effectively strengthening the engagement of existing high-quality customers. In customer operations, the Group refined its approach across three dimensions: acquisition, existing customer management and product experience. On the acquisition front, the Group maintained a disciplined presence across premium platforms while continuously iterating its customer admission models to improve conversion efficiency. For existing customers, the Group deepened engagement with quality borrowers through tailored product solutions and refined segmentation, unlocking greater value from quality customers.
