Standardized Robot “Eye-Brain-Hand”: Global Market Share Ranked First for Four Consecutive Years by a Dominant Margin Mech-Mind focuses on providing robots with a complete closed-loop execution system comprising “eyes” (3D vision), “brain” (AI decision-making), and “hands” (dexterous manipulation). The Company is committed to leveraging standardized, universal product components to break the long-standing industry challenge of high-cost, hard-to-replicate customized solutions. With highly standardized hardware and software suites, its products offer exceptional versatility and reusability, enabling flexible adaptation to diverse industrial scenarios, including automotive, new energy, consumer electronics, education, and general manufacturing. According to CIC Report, in 2025 Mech-Mind ranked first in the global AI + 3D vision-guided non-specialty intelligent robot component market with a market share of approximately 22.1% (revenue of approximately RMB389 million), with its revenue scale nearly 2.6 times that of the second-placed player (8.5%). In terms of shipment volume, the Company captured a 27.5% market share, exceeding the combined total of the next four manufacturers. Mech-Mind ranked first in the China, Japan, and North American markets, and also held a leading position in Southeast Asia, Europe, and South Korea, maintaining the No.1 global market share for four consecutive years. As of March 31, 2026, Mech-Mind has served more than 100 Fortune Global 500 companies in total, with over 29.000 units deployed globally, covering more than 50 different application scenarios across dozens of industries, and capable of handling over 100,000 types of goods. Its client portfolio encompasses global manufacturing giants including CATL, BYD, Midea, Foxconn, Toyota, Volkswagen, and suppliers within Tesla’s supply chain. The Company maintains exceptionally high customer retention. Revenue contribution from existing customers accounted for 78% of total revenue in 2025, and further increased to 86% as at March 31, 2026. Its products are deeply integrated into customers’ production processes, resulting in significant switching costs and underpinning long-term growth momentum. Furthermore, leveraging an extensive, efficient network comprising 1,369 system integrators across the globe, the Company serves end customers in close to 50 countries and regions. Robust Financial Growth: Gross Margin Surges to 64.6% with a Clear Profitability Path Financial data indicates that Mech-Mind is in a critical phase of rapid growth with markedly improved profitability quality. From 2023 to 2025, the Company’s revenue surged from RMB181 million to RMB389 million, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46.6%. In the first quarter of 2026, revenue jumped 73.1% year-on-year to RMB107 million, demonstrating robust resilience amid slowing investment across the global manufacturing sector. Driven by the realization of economies of scale, supply chain cost optimization and an increased revenue share from overseas markets with favorable gross margin profile, the Company’s gross margin rose substantially from 39.1% in 2023 to 51.1% in 2024, further climbing to 64.6% in 2025, and hitting 64.8% in the first quarter of 2026. In terms of gross profit, it registered a year-on-year increase of 94.5% in 2024, 82.8% in 2025 and 79.7% in the first quarter of 2026, demonstrating strong growth momentum. Excluding non-operating factors such as fair value changes in redemption liabilities, the Company’s adjusted net loss narrowed significantly from RMB334 million in 2023 to RMB214 million in 2024, and further declined to RMB109 million in 2025. The adjusted net loss stood at merely RMB33 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing a 14.6% year-on-year contraction with sustained sequential quarterly improvement, which points to a clear path toward profitability. Meanwhile, operating leverage continued to strengthen. The sales expense ratio dropped substantially from 102.7% in 2023 to 42.4% in the first quarter of 2026; the administrative expense ratio fell from 58.2% to 29.9%; and the R&D expense ratio declined from 65.6% to 36.0%. Product sales volume and customer base expanded in tandem. Sales of intelligent robotic guidance products increased from 3,654 units in 2023 to 5,852 units in 2024, reaching 8,268 units in 2025 and 2,412 units in the first quarter of 2026. The number of ordering customers for the respective periods grew from 509 in 2023 to 605 in 2024 and 625 in 2025, and hit 258 in the first quarter of 2026. Globalization Gathers Pace: Over Half of Revenue Generated Overseas, Spanning Around 50 Countries and Regions Breakthrough progress in overseas markets has become a key pillar for Mech-Mind’s value re rating. Between 2023 and 2025, revenue from overseas customers rose from RMB58.6 million to RMB196 million, representing a CAGR of approximately 83%, well above the Company’s overall growth rate. In 2025, overseas markets contributed RMB196 million in revenue, accounting for 50.3% of total revenue — crossing the 50% threshold for the first time. Overseas gross profit also made up more than half of total gross profit, a clear reflection of the Company’s technical premium and pricing power. The Company embraced a globalization strategy from its early days. Back in 2019, it established its German subsidiary. To date, subsidiaries have been set up in the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong. More than ten business centers operate in Tokyo, Seoul, Chicago, Munich and other locations, with business footprint covering roughly 50 countries and regions and over 900 cumulative overseas customers served.

Its overseas organization is structured across three major regions: Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas. It is progressively moving into the phase of penetrating lower tier geographic markets and accelerating in depth local cultivation.

The announcement signals an evolution in Duiba Group’s business profile, from its early focus on reward points operation SaaS platforms and Internet advertising to the new growth areas centered on AI-powered content creation and enterprise services. It also points out that Duiba Group is among the first to achieve industrialization and large-scale commercial monetization from AI-led scriptwriting and AI-driven production to AI-enabled distribution. The company is now leveraging an AI-driven content industrialization system to reshape its business structure and unlock new long-term growth opportunities. A Rising Star in AI Short Drama Segment Powered by AI Technological Edge With a focus on reward points operation SaaS platforms and Internet advertising in its early years, Duiba Group has provided services to more than 16,000 enterprises in total and built a strong foundation in data technology, user operations, marketing and content distribution. Recognizing the technological transformation taking place across the content industry, as well as enterprises’ growing demand for digitalization and intelligent upgrading, Duiba Group has strategically expanded into two new areas: AI short drama and intelligent enterprise services. This marks a transition from a traditional service platform towards a technology-driven content ecosystem. According to sources, since launching its AI short drama business, Duiba Group has established an end-to-end AI-native pipeline covering scriptwriting, AI content creation, automated production and intelligent distribution.

Early Adoption of an Industrialized System Supports Rapid Growth and Leading Position According to the announcement, Duiba Group is among the first to operate an end-to-end AI-native pipeline and achieve commercial monetization at scale. From AI-led scriptwriting and AI-driven production to AI-enabled distribution, the company is transforming short-form drama into an industrialized, asset-light AI technology-driven high-growth business. This approach has significantly shortened production cycles and radically improved unit economics, enabling the company’s AI short dramas to be monetized across multiple platforms and channels.

On the distribution side, monthly distribution revenue from its AI short drama business exceeded RMB 100 million at its speak during the first six months of the year, making it a key driver of the company’s overall revenue growth and highlighting the business’s strong commercial potential. Industry observers note that the AI short drama sector is entering a critical stage, characterized by rapidly expanding content supply and increasingly mature monetization models. Duiba Group, with its AI-native industrialization capabilities, enjoys unique advantages in production efficiency and cost structure. In addition, drawing on its extensive enterprise customer base and years of experience in Internet advertising, the company is expected to generate synergies across content distribution, traffic acquisition and commercial monetization , further amplifying the benefits of scale economies. Strong Interim Revenue Growth Points to Revaluation Potential Duiba Group’s disclosure of its AI short drama business performance is not only an early indication of the progress of its strategic transformation but also a clear signal of strong revenue growth in its upcoming interim report.
