As the Company's first annual results announcement since listing, it underscores strong growth momentum and continued improvement in its financial profile.Revenue Mix Continues to Improve, with Faster Growth in H2For the full year of 2025, Unisound achieved total revenue of $175 million, representing a year-on-year (YoY) increase of 29%. Revenue in the second half of the year increased by 33% YoY to $117 million.It is worth noting that the Company's large language model (LLM) business generated a full-year revenue of $88.43 million, surging by over 10 times YoY. In particular, this business contributed approximately $72.49 million in H2 revenue, five times the level recorded in H1, demonstrating a compelling capacity for large-scale commercial application.Losses Narrowed Significantly, Making the Path to Profitability Increasingly ClearAlongside the rapid revenue growth, the Company's losses improved markedly. In the second half of 2025, the Company's net loss narrowed by 84% YoY, and its adjusted loss narrowed by 92% YoY, approaching break-even. This reflects the Company's ongoing improvements in cost control and operational efficiency.Simultaneously, some of the Company's operating metrics saw marked improvement. The adjusted expense ratio declined significantly by 10 percentage points YoY, while selling expenses decreased rather than increased and accounted for only 5.4%, highlighting a clear improvement in cost-to-efficiency ratio. In 2025, revenue per employee reached $365,300, up 25% YoY from $292,900 in 2024. Employee productivity continued to lead the industry, clearly underscoring the Company's core strengths in technology-driven, lean operations.Dual-Engine Strategy Gains Traction, with AI in Healthcare and AI in Daily Life Advancing in TandemIn 2025, driven by both technological breakthroughs and policy tailwinds, global demand for AI continued to rise. Unisound adhered to its "Strong Foundation Model + Deep Application" strategy, continued to strengthen its multimodal technology foundation, and drove the continuous elevation of the global influence of its proprietary large model matrix in fields such as healthcare, speech, and OCR.On the commercialization front, the Company leveraged its AI-native organization to accelerate business execution, and its dual-engine strategy in AI in Healthcare and AI in Daily Life delivered notable results. During the reporting period:The AI in Daily Life business achieved revenue of $140 million, a YoY increase of 30.8%. Among this, the Transportation segment recorded nearly 40% YoY growth. At present, AI agent applications based on the Shanhai large model have been deployed in more than 10 cities, including Qingdao, Ningbo, Shenzhen and Nanning. In addition, cumulative AI chip shipments exceeded 110 million units, further validating the Company's scale capabilities in endpoint AI products.The AI in Healthcare business achieved revenue of $35.38 million, a YoY increase of 22.3%, with average revenue per customer growing by 53.2% YoY. In 2025, over 70% of the hospitals the Company collaborated with were tertiary hospitals, and more than one-third of customers had maintained continuous cooperation for over three years. The medical-record entry and generation products powered by the medical large model delivered a 10-fold YoY increase in full-annual medical record generation at a single campus of a leading Class III hospital. The commercial insurance AI agent platform recorded a 37-fold YoY increase in case processing volume. In deep cooperation with a leading insurance group, the expense control rate was effectively raised to approximately 20%, delivering more than $145 million in incremental cost management compared with traditional review methods, comprehensively empowering insurance institutions to refine their medical risk management operations.Continued R&D Investment Strengthens the Technology MoatTo consolidate its industry-leading position, the Company continued to invest heavily in R&D in 2025. Full-year R&D expenses exceeded $55.09 million, accounting for 75% of the Company's adjusted operating expenses, while R&D personnel accounted for 69% of the total workforce. This sustained investment drove breakthroughs across multiple technology areas. For example, in the MedBench 4.0 evaluation, the Company ranked first place in three technical paradigms: "Medical AI Agent," "Medical Large Language Model," and "Medical Multimodal Large Model," earning a "Triple Crown."Outlook: Deepening the Technological Foundation and Expanding Application BoundariesLooking ahead, Unisound will continue to deepen its "Strong Foundation Model + Deep Application" strategy. On the technological front, the Company will continue to increase strategic investment in foundational large models and strive to maintain a world-class level. On the application front, it will use the large-scale expansion of MaaS (Model-as-a-Service) and AI agents as its core growth engine, driving exponential growth in its AI in Daily Life and AI in Healthcare businesses. Meanwhile, the Company is actively exploring the establishment of a recurring revenue system through models such as API calls and Token-based billing, and regards opportunities in consumer-facing (C-end) products as a second growth curve to further expand its commercialization boundaries.Between Q2 and Q3 2026, Unisound will launch a native AI agent large model for programming and office applications, which is expected to double both intelligence density and token production efficiency.

OpenClawd Ships Verified Skill Screening After Security Researchers Find 12% of OpenClaw Marketplace Skills Are Malware ACN Newswire

OpenClawd Ships Verified Skill Screening After Security Researchers Find 12% of OpenClaw Marketplace Skills Are Malware

NEW YORK, N.Y., Mar 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OpenClawd AI today released a security-focused platform update that adds automated skill vetting, verified installer sourcing, and runtime sandboxing to its managed OpenClaw hosting service. The update responds to two converging threats targeting users of the open-source AI agent formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot: a large-scale malware campaign inside the official OpenClaw skill marketplace, and a parallel wave of counterfeit installation packages being promoted through search engine results.The numbers are bad enough on their own. Together, they describe a supply chain that is actively hostile to casual users.One in Eight OpenClaw Skills Is Confirmed MaliciousIndependent security researchers recently completed an audit of the ClawHub skill marketplace — the primary distribution channel for third-party OpenClaw plugins. Out of 2,857 published skills, 341 were confirmed as malicious. That is approximately 12% of the entire marketplace.The findings include:Keyloggers and credential stealers deployed through skills that appear to offer legitimate productivity featuresSilent data exfiltration — one widely-downloaded skill was found to instruct the OpenClaw agent to execute curl commands that sent user data to an external server without any notification or consent promptPrompt injection payloads embedded in skill descriptions, designed to override the agent’s safety guidelines and force execution of unauthorized commandsPlaintext credential exposure — a separate audit found that over 280 additional skills were leaking API keys, tokens, and passwords in their source codeA major cybersecurity firm tested a specific ClawHub skill and published the results: nine security findings, including two critical and five high-severity issues. The skill functioned as what the researchers called “functionally malware.” The most widely-downloaded malicious skill on ClawHub was a cryptocurrency stealer.Fake OpenClaw Installers Are Being Promoted by Search EnginesThe marketplace problem is only half the story. A cybersecurity research team discovered that threat actors have published counterfeit OpenClaw installation packages on open-source code repositories. These fake installers mimic the legitimate OpenClaw setup process but instead deliver a malware packer that disables firewall protections and routes network traffic through compromised systems.The attack chain is straightforward: a user searches for “install OpenClaw” or “Clawdbot download.” An AI-powered search engine returns a result linking to the malicious repository. The user follows the instructions. The malware deploys silently.The researcher who discovered the campaign noted that the person who first reported the threat was a technical professional. “If a fellow IT pro is susceptible to this threat,” he said, “then anyone could be.”“There are now two ways to get compromised before you even run your first OpenClaw command,” said Danny Wilson, spokesperson for OpenClawd. “You can install a fake version of the software, or you can install the real version and then add a skill that steals your data. We built this update so that neither path exists on our platform.”What OpenClawd Ships TodayThis update targets both the supply chain and the runtime:Verified installer sourcing — all OpenClawd instances are provisioned from cryptographically signed OpenClaw releases, pulled directly from the official repository. No third-party install paths. No search engine intermediaries.Skill vetting pipeline — third-party skills go through automated static analysis and behavioral testing before activation. Skills flagged for network exfiltration, prompt injection patterns, or credential exposure are blocked by default.Runtime sandboxing — each skill executes in an isolated environment with explicit permission boundaries. A skill that requests network access to an unexpected endpoint triggers a review before execution.Credential isolation — API keys and tokens are stored in encrypted vaults and never exposed in plaintext to skill code or agent logsAutomatic CVE patching — hosted instances track the latest stable OpenClaw release (currently v2026.3.x), with all known vulnerabilities patched before deploymentOpenClawd does not operate its own skill marketplace. Skills available on hosted instances are drawn from the official ClawHub repository after passing the vetting pipeline described above.OpenClawd is not affiliated with the OpenClaw open-source foundation, OpenAI, Peter Steinberger, or any third-party security research firm cited in this release. It is an independent platform built on the open-source Clawdbot codebase. The open-source project remains free at github.com/openclaw/openclaw.Pricing starts with a free tier. Paid plans include dedicated compute, priority security patching, and uptime monitoring.

The global campaign is a powerful tribute to the iconic polo shirt's authentic sports origins and its evolution into one of the world's most enduring style essentials.U.S. Polo Assn. Global Brand Ambassador, 6-goal American professional polo player Nico Escobar takes in the game atop his equine partner, wearing polo whites and a classic navy U.S. Polo Assn. polo shirt, An Icon Born from the GameU.S. Polo Assn. models in polo shirts at the Spring-Summer 2026 Global Collection Photoshoot in Charleston, South Carolina‘The Polo Shirt: An Icon Born From the Game' campaign imagery featuring U.S. Polo Assn. modelsThe polo shirt's beginning was born on the polo fields, shaped by motion, competition, and the spirit of the game for which it was named. From its earliest days, the polo shirt was designed with purpose, worn by players seeking performance on the polo fields. Today, U.S. Polo Assn. celebrates this timeless favorite, not just as a fashion item, but as an icon born from sport and carried forward through generations of players and consumers all over the world.The polo shirt is one of the most iconic essentials dating back over 100 years, notable for its unique fusion of sport and style. Originally designed with breathable pique knit, a soft collar, and lightweight construction to meet the demands of competitive sports, it has evolved into a timeless essential, suitable for casual elegance and leisurewear.The polo shirt traces its origins to polo players, where it was created out of necessity for the sport. Polo players modified long‑sleeved cotton shirts to better handle heat, movement, and wind while playing. These functional, sport‑driven adaptations represent the earliest form of what would become the polo shirt. In the early 20th century, polo players helped formalize these functional elements as the sport gained popularity, reinforcing the shirt's connection to the sport and its functional design.Over the years, the polo shirt became a cornerstone of casual sportswear around the world, symbolizing preppy style, luxury leisure culture, and contemporary athleisure, seamlessly transitioning from polo fields to college campuses and boardrooms. Its enduring adaptability is demonstrated by distinct reinventions across the decades; the ability to evolve has ensured the polo shirt's lasting relevance and cultural significance.As the official sports brand of the USPA, founded in 1890 and one of the oldest sports governing bodies in the United States, U.S. Polo Assn. occupies an authentic place in the history of the polo shirt."The polo shirt's DNA is deeply rooted in the inspirational sport that inspired it," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the multi-billion-dollar, global U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "With An Icon Born from the Game, we're honoring a legacy that began on the field and continues to shape how polo players, sports fans, and consumers all over the world live, move, and express themselves today, and for future generations."An Icon Born from the Game reinforces that legacy by connecting the polo shirt's origins in the sport, while celebrating its place in modern culture."The polo shirt was designed for the game with a real purpose on the field, but it's also what I wear off the field to go out to dinner or hang out with friends and family," said Nico Escobar, U.S. Polo Assn. Global Brand Ambassador, 6-goal American professional polo player. "I love that U.S. Polo Assn. understands both the performance aspect and how the polo shirt fits into everyday life.""U.S. Polo Assn.'s authentic connection to the sport and the way it supports the game of polo around the world is why I wear it - both on the field and off," adds Escobar.Global Launch: An Icon Born from the GameLaunching globally across 190 countries in Spring 2026, An Icon Born from the Game will come to life through a coordinated, multi‑channel presence designed to make the U.S. Polo Assn. polo shirt unmistakably visible wherever consumers engage with the sport-inspired brand. In stores, dedicated polo shirt focus areas, including the brand's iconic polo walls, window displays, and visual merchandising moments, will highlight the full range of styles through bold color stories, clear categorization, and campaign signage anchored by the slogan.Across outdoor and print advertising, hero imagery shot on location brings the polo shirt back to the field, reinforcing its authentic connection to the sport, while digital and social media activations extend the story through short‑form content and global storytelling. Together, these touchpoints create a consistent, immersive expression of the polo shirt as a true icon rooted in sport but relevant to everyday life.Further, An Icon Born from the Game is launching around two of the sport's most important events in the United States - the prestigious USPA Gold Cup® and one of the most competitive tournaments in the world, the U.S. Open Polo Championship®, which concludes with the Championship Final on April 26."An Icon Born from the Game is about owning our truth and telling it boldly on a global scale," said Stefanie Coroalles, Vice President, Global Brand Marketing. "The Global Polo Shirt Campaign brings together heritage, product, and self-expression, showing how the polo shirt moves effortlessly from sport to everyday life.""This launch is a proud moment for us, one that brings our heritage to life in a way that feels modern, visible, and unmistakably U.S. Polo Assn.," adds Coroalles.Product Pillars: Play It Your Way"Every U.S. Polo Assn. polo shirt is designed with intention by balancing style, comfort, function, and authentic sport details," said Brian Kaminer, Senior Vice President, Brand and Product Development. "From heritage-inspired construction to modern performance fabrics, our U.S. Polo Assn. collections reflect how the polo shirt continues to evolve while staying true to its sports roots."The global polo shirt campaign showcases the versatility of the icon through five distinct expressions that give the consumer the opportunity to "Play It Your Way" when styling with the polo shirt.Play It Sporty is the polo shirt that carries the legacy of U.S. Polo Assn. in every stitch. Featuring authentic detailing, iconic branding, and sport-inspired elements, this timeless silhouette connects directly to the game that started it all.

Casa Minerals Receives Extensive Historic Drill Database from Congress Gold Mine Project; Desktop Technical Studies Define Three Priority Exploration Zones Ahead of 2026 Drilling Season ACN Newswire

Casa Minerals Receives Extensive Historic Drill Database from Congress Gold Mine Project; Desktop Technical Studies Define Three Priority Exploration Zones Ahead of 2026 Drilling Season

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 26, 2026) - Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTCQB: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the "Company" or "Casa") is pleased to announce that it has received a large dataset of historic drill hole information from the Congress Gold Mine Project in Yavapai County, Arizona, USA. Comprehensive desktop technical studies integrating this data with the Company's own 2022 drilling campaign have resulted in the identification and delineation of three distinct priority exploration zones that will form the basis of the 2026 field and drilling program.HIGHLIGHTSReceipt of a large historic drill hole database greatly expanding the geological model for the Congress Gold Mine Project3D modelling of over 100 historic and recent drill holes confirms strong structural integrity and continuity of the gold-bearing vein systemsThree distinct exploration zones classified: Echo Bay Exploration Zone (~750m x 1,000m), Malartic Exploration Zone (~450m x 1,150m), and New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone (~800m x 1,000m)Echo Bay Exploration Zone designated highest priority target based on historic drill density and potential for expanded mineralization envelopeHistoric drill intercepts include highlights such as 1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au, 2.0m @ 21.88 g/t Au, 3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au, and 11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au within the Echo Bay ZoneCongress Gold Mine Project is fully permitted with excellent road access and proximity to an experienced regional labor forceCompany geologists and field personnel are being mobilized for initial site preparation and drill program setupHISTORIC DRILL DATABASE COMPILATIONCasa Minerals is pleased to announce the receipt of a comprehensive dataset of historic drill hole collars, surveys, and assay records from the Congress Gold Mine Project. This data was compiled from exploration programs conducted by previous operators -- most notably Echo Bay Mines Ltd. -- during the 1980s through the early 1990s. The database encompasses a significant number of drill holes distributed across the project area, substantially expanding the known geological framework of the property.Historic exploration at the Congress Gold Mine was conducted during a period when gold market conditions were materially lower than today's environment, which directly influenced the selection criteria and cut-off grades used by previous operators. Consequently, the historic programs focused predominantly on higher-grade gold intersections, and many lower-grade vein intercepts that may be economically significant at current gold prices were not assigned the same level of analytical priority. Casa believes this creates a meaningful opportunity to reinterpret the mineralization system with a lower economic threshold, logically expanding the dimensions of the mineralization envelope that will be targeted in the forthcoming drilling season.Important Disclosure: The historic drill hole results referenced in this news release were collected and reported by previous operators under practices that predate current NI 43-101 standards. These results are disclosed solely for contextual and geological interpretation purposes. They have not been verified by a current Qualified Person, do not conform to NI 43-101, and are not classified as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historic results as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Casa is not treating them as such.THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELLING AND VEIN SYSTEM VALIDATIONDesktop technical studies have included rigorous 3D modelling of all available drill hole data using industry-standard geological modelling software. The resulting three-dimensional representation of the drill hole database, illustrated in Figure A below, demonstrates the remarkable density of historic drill coverage across the project and confirms the structural coherence and continuity of the principal gold-bearing vein systems.The 3D model was constructed using NAD83 / UTM Zone 12N coordinates and captures drill holes ranging from surface to depths approaching 600 metres below ground elevation. The model reveals that:The dominant vein systems exhibit strong northeast-southwest structural orientation, consistent with the principal fault architecture identified on surfaceThe alignment and attitude of vein structures intercepted in the Company's 2022 confirmatory drilling campaign correlate with high fidelity to those projected from the historic drill hole database, validating the overall geological modelThe 2022 drilling campaign identified additional vein structures not captured in the historic database, indicating that the current geological model is likely incomplete and that the total mineralized footprint may be materially larger than previously understoodIncorporating lower-grade vein intercepts -- previously deprioritized by historic operators under lower gold price conditions -- into the mineralization envelope substantially increases the aggregate target volume for future drillingFigure A: Four-panel 3D presentation of historic and recent drill hole collars and traces, Congress Gold Mine Project.

The classification of each zone reflects the combination of historic drill density, vein system geometry, and the nature of the gold mineralization documented to date. Figures 1 through 4 present these zones in their regional and local contexts.Figure 1: Regional overview map of the Congress Gold Mine Project showing principal vein systems (red dashed), fault corridors (blue dashed), shaft locations (Shafts 1 through 6), historic stope outlines (yellow, 1959-1987), patented claim and BLM claim outlines, and the location of the three principal exploration zones. The project is situated in Yavapai County, Arizona.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/290037_3e63fd76341e7b14_002full.jpgEcho Bay Exploration Zone -- Highest Priority TargetThe Echo Bay Exploration Zone, measuring approximately 750 metres by 1,000 metres, is the largest and most intensively drilled zone on the property. It encompasses the historic non-NI 43-101 resource outline that was previously defined by Echo Bay Mines and represents the core of the historic gold-producing system at Congress. The zone is bounded by the principal northeast-trending veining corridors and is cut by northwest-trending fault structures that locally displace but do not terminate the mineralized vein arrays.As illustrated in Figure 2, the Echo Bay Exploration Zone hosts a dense cluster of historic drill hole intercepts distributed across the full extent of the zone. The drill hole collars and assay intercepts depicted in the figure provide compelling evidence for broad, zone-scale gold mineralization. Notably, the higher-grade intercepts are concentrated along the principal vein corridors while lower-grade disseminated and stockwork gold is documented in the intervening ground. This spatial distribution is characteristic of orogenic gold systems and is consistent with the geological setting at Congress.Selected historic drill intercepts within the Echo Bay Exploration Zone include:1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au -- exceptional high-grade intercept within the principal vein corridor3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au -- high-grade intercept demonstrating vein width and continuity2.0m @ 21.88 g/t Au -- high-grade vein intercept in the central portion of the zone2.4m @ 19.03 g/t Au -- confirming strong grade continuity along strike11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au -- broad, elevated-grade intercept indicative of wide mineralization envelopes within the vein system1.5m @ 15.28 g/t Au -- demonstrating high-grade vein core and broader lower-grade haloes2.0m @ 12.19 g/t Au and 7.3m @ 11.00 g/t Au -- further confirming grade and continuity of the principal vein arrays3.1m @ 11.19 g/t Au and 2.0m @ 15.63 g/t Au -- documented in the southwestern portion of the zone, indicating lateral continuityGiven the historic drill density, the documented grade profile, and the alignment of the 2022 confirmatory drilling with the historic vein model, the Echo Bay Exploration Zone has been assigned the highest exploration priority for the 2026 program. The Company views the zone as offering the clearest near-term pathway to NI 43-101 resource delineation.Figure 2: Detailed plan map of the Echo Bay Exploration Zone (~750m x 1,000m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are historic drill hole intercepts (brown dots annotated with interval length in metres and gold grade in g/t), principal vein system traces (red dashed), fault corridors (blue dashed), historic stope outlines (yellow), shaft locations, and the historic non-NI 43-101 resource outline (red hatch). Selected intercepts include 1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au, 3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au, 11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au, and 2.4m @ 19.03 g/t Au, among numerous others.

The zone is named after the "Malartic-style" stratabound and vein-hosted gold mineralization that has been documented in this area of the project. Historic shaft locations CGC-003 and CGC-004 are located within this zone, providing direct underground access for potential future development.The Malartic Exploration Zone is characterized by multiple subparallel northwest-striking vein sets that have been intercepted in a series of shallow to moderate-depth drill holes. The vein system includes documented vein widths of 27 feet, 38 feet, and 55 feet (as labelled on Figure 3), indicating substantial structural corridors capable of hosting economically significant gold mineralization.Representative historic drill intercepts within the Malartic Exploration Zone include:3.6m @ 0.74 g/t Au and 10.3m @ 1.73 g/t Au -- broad lower-grade intercepts within the principal vein corridor demonstrating wide mineralization envelopes10.36m @ 1.41 g/t Au and 8.1m @ 3.53 g/t Au -- moderate-grade intercepts confirming continuity of the vein arrays7.7 @ 3.56 g/t Au and 8.1m @ 2.53 g/t Au -- further demonstrating consistent grade within vein-hosted mineralization3.2m @ 7.72 g/t Au and 2.8m @ 9.41 g/t Au -- higher-grade intercepts at the northern margin of the zone (shared boundary with the Echo Bay Zone)The Malartic Exploration Zone is relatively underexplored compared to the Echo Bay Zone, and the relatively sparse drill coverage suggests significant upside potential for zone expansion with systematic drilling.Figure 3: Detailed plan map of the Malartic Exploration Zone (~450m x 1,150m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are historic drill hole intercepts (annotated with gold values), principal vein system traces, shaft locations including CGC-003 and CGC-004, historic stope outlines, and documented vein widths of 8.2m, 11.6m, and 16.8m.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/290037_3e63fd76341e7b14_004full.jpgNew Congress Niagara Exploration ZoneThe New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone, measuring approximately 800 metres by 1,000 metres, is the northernmost of the three classified exploration zones and is situated along a structurally distinct corridor characterized by the northwest-striking New Congress-Niagara fault system. This zone encompasses historic Shaft 1 as well as drill holes CGC-008, CGC-009, and CGC-010 from the Company's 2022 exploration program.The 2022 drilling in this zone identified four discrete veins with widths ranging from 49.5 feet to 206 feet -- a notably wide structural corridor. These widths are illustrated in Figure 4 as Vein 49.5 ft, Vein 55 ft, Vein 70.5 ft, and Vein 206 ft. The scale of these structural features highlights the potential for significant bulk-tonnage style mineralization within this zone, distinct from the higher-grade but narrower veins documented in the Echo Bay Zone.Critically, the 2022 drilling at the New Congress Niagara Zone identified several vein structures that are not represented in the historic drill database, reinforcing the Company's view that the existing geological model incompletely captures the full scope of the vein system. This structural incompleteness, combined with the relatively limited historic drill coverage of this zone, underscores its exploration potential.Figure 4: Detailed plan map of the New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone (~800m x 1,000m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are drill hole locations from the 2022 exploration program (CGC-008, CGC-009, CGC-010) alongside Shaft 1, with identified vein widths of 49.5 ft, 55 ft, 70.5 ft, and 206 ft.

AAC Technologies CFO Guo Dan: Accelerating Expansion into AI Blue Ocean for a New Revenue Milestone in 2026

SINGAPORE, Mar 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – March 19, AAC Technologies Holdings Inc. (HKEX Stock Code: 2018) held its 2025 Annual Results Announcement Conference in Singapore and reported a strong set of annual results. The Group achieved RMB 31.82 billion in annual revenue, representing a 16.4% year-on-year increase and marking a record high of over RMB 30 billion, with net profit rising 39.8% to RMB 2.51 billion. These results reflect the continued success of the Company’s strategic transformation, with revenue reaching new highs in recent years and net profit delivering sustained double-digit growth.“Pioneering Innovation” and “AI Empowerment” have emerged as the central themes of AAC’s recent developments, driving its strategic transformation from a traditional component supplier to a builder of AI perception infrastructure.In an interview during the conference, AAC’s Chief Financial Officer, Guo Dan, highlighted that the Company’s strategic new business lines — represented by optics and automotive solutions — together with its expansion into high-potential AI sectors such as heat dissipation, robotics, and XR, have become the key growth engines supporting mid-to-long-term sustainable development. This strong momentum is expected to continue unlocking further growth potential in 2026.Looking ahead to 2026, Dan expressed strong confidence. Despite persistent industry volatility, the Group will capitalize on its diversified business portfolio to deliver steady revenue growth, with the growth rate expected to be no lower than that of 2025. At the same time, the gross profit margin is projected to improve steadily from the 22.1% baseline in 2025.( AAC Technologies CFO Guo Dan)1. On the Optics Business: Plastic Lens Gross Margin to Rise to 35%, with Proprietary WLG Technology Reaching Key MilestoneAs a core strategic growth driver, AAC’s optics business (AAC Optics) has achieved rapid development since in 2019. It reported RMB 5.73 billion in revenue in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 32% over the past six years, establishing itself as a key pillar of the Group’s overall growth.Dan stated that in 2026, the optics business is expected to deliver steady revenue growth while further improving its gross margin. In 2025, the Company continued to upgrade its mid-to-high-end lens product mix, with the shipments of lens products with 6 or more elements accounting for over 18% of the total and seven-element (7P) lens shipments reaching 15 million units. Building on this foundation, the gross profit margin of plastic lenses is projected to rise from 30% in 2025 to 35% in 2026, reaching a industry-leading level.Notably, AAC has made a significant breakthrough in its globally proprietary Wafer-Level Glass (WLG) lens technology, reaching a key milestone. This advancement not only expands the scope of application scenarios but is also expected to drive a shift in the market landscape traditionally dominated by plastic lenses. Dan added, “In the future, whether in smartphones, automotive solutions, or emerging smart terminal devices, we will see more stable incremental growth that will inject long-term momentum into our business growth.”2. On the Automotive Solution Business: The "Second Growth Engine" Solidifies, with 2026 Revenue Expected to Grow by 15%-20%Through the acquisition of Premium Sound Solutions (PSS), AAC has rapidly established a core platform in the smart automotive solution sector, successfully developing a second growth engine for the Company.Dan revealed that following the acquisition of PSS in 2024 and the acquisitions of Chuguang and PSG in 2025, the Company has become a comprehensive system-level automotive solution provider, expanding its business from smartphones into the entire automotive domain. In 2025, the Company’s automotive acoustics business recorded revenue of RMB 4.12 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.1%. This performance has positioned AAC among the world’s top-tier automotive audio system suppliers, second only to industry leaders such as Harman and Bose.Regarding the 2026 outlook for the automotive acoustics business, Dan stated that the segment is expected to maintain high double-digit growth of 15% to 20%, while keeping the gross margin stable. The Company’s automotive solution business has now achieved broad customer coverage both in China and overseas, including multiple Asian markets. This diversified regional presence is expected to provide steady and reliable support for both revenue and profit growth.3. On AI Sectors: Heat Dissipation Business Poised to Reach RMB 10 Billion, with Explorations in XR and Robotics Opening New FrontiersIf optics and automotive solutions represent the Company’s “core growth engines,” then business lines such as heat dissipation, robotics, and XR optical waveguides constitute the high-potential “reserves” for AAC’s future development. Dan noted that the Company’s revenue in the past was primarily driven by traditional mobile phone acoustics and haptics business. However, following years of strategic transformation and amid broader industry technological shifts, AI has become the fundamental driver underpinning the sustained growth of the Company’s multiple product lines.“For example, the rapid growth of the heat dissipation business is mainly attributable to AI-driven demand. Similarly, our initiatives in robotics and AR glasses are also propelled by AI,” Dan explained. In 2025, the Company’s heat dissipation business recorded revenue of RMB 1.67 billion, grew by 410.9% year-on-year. This performance has further solidified the Company’s position as one of the leading global suppliers in consumer electronics heat dissipation. “As AI technology continues to advance, related application scenarios are expected to extend from smartphones to a wider range of devices, including laptops and tablets, generating strong momentum for the Company’s overall growth.”The acquisition of Yuandi Technology, with more notable strategic significance, has allowed AAC to formally enter the data center liquid cooling, AI server heat dissipation, and high-end thermal solutions sectors, and extend its capabilities from “terminal-side heat dissipation” to “AI infrastructure heat dissipation” creating a synergistic “terminal + infrastructure” development model. Dan stated clearly, “Leveraging the substantial market opportunities across multiple sectors, our heat dissipation business has the potential to reach and even exceed a scale of RMB 10 billion in the coming years, positioning it as a highly promising and important growth engine for the Group.”In the XR optical waveguide field, through the acquisition of Dispelix — a global leader in AR diffractive waveguide technology — AAC has become one of the few industry players with vertically integrated capabilities spanning optical waveguide design and manufacturing. The Company can now offer one-stop full display module solutions, encompassing optical waveguides, optical engines, push-pull lenses, eye-tracking systems, and electrochromic technology. AAC is expected to become the world’s first supplier to achieve mass production of SRG full-color optical waveguides for leading customers in 2026. Dan disclosed, “The per-unit value in the optics business can reach USD 100–200. These initiatives are expected to deliver clear mass production and shipment opportunities within the next two to three years, continuously generating significant value in revenue, profit, and long-term market expansion.”Regarding the robotics field, Dan pointed out that the industry’s market definition, application scenarios, and product forms are still evolving and remain in a diverse exploratory stage. AAC has long maintained deep involvement and has established comprehensive layouts across multiple core areas, including acoustics, motors, optics, structural components, and electromechanics, laying a solid foundation to capture opportunities as the sector matures. “For example, our dexterous hand products for humanoid robots have already entered mass production and shipments, generating over RMB 100 million in revenue last year. In addition, we are co-developing the first motor, as a core component for AI hardware devices, with our customers. Overall, the Company has built deep cooperation with leading domestic and international customers, and we believe we will become an important player in this field in the future.”4. Strategic Review: Combining Technology Reuse with Ecosystem Construction to Anchor Long-Term GrowthIn AAC’s three-decade development journey, the core driver behind its sustained growth has consistently been rooted in the dual logic of technology reuse and ecosystem construction.Leveraging its long-established, robust technological foundations in micro-acoustics, precision optics, electromagnetic drives, sensors, and semiconductors, the Company has successfully upgraded and expanded its business, with its focus shifting from mobile phones and consumer electronics to emerging high-growth areas, including AI terminals, robotics, XR, smart vehicles, and data center infrastructure. This approach enables its core technological capabilities to be efficiently migrated and continuously amplified across diverse application scenarios.This development model — “upgrading application scenarios without changing underlying technology” — not only ensures the stability and success rate of business transformation but also allows the Company to rapidly address capability gaps through strategic ecosystem integration, such as the acquisitions of Dongyang, PSS, Chuguang, and Yuandi. Together, these efforts have created a virtuous cycle of “technology–product–scenario–customer.”The clear pathway to realizing this cycle was articulated by Dan in her outlook: Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, AAC will position itself as a “builder of AI perception infrastructure,” deepen cross-business synergy and full-scenario coverage, accelerate its expansion into the “AI blue ocean,” strengthen its global footprint, and continue riding the wave of industry development to achieve new heights.source as Forbes(https://www.forbeschina.com/investment/71292) Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Mar 25, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everbright Grand China Assets Limited, a property leasing, property management and sales of properties held for sale company under China Everbright Group ("Everbright Grand China Assets" or the "Group", Hong Kong Stock Exchange stock code: 3699) today announced the annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the "Year under Review").During the Year under Review, the Group's revenue was approximately RMB49.9 million (2024: approximately RMB45.9 million), representing a increase of approximately 8.7% as compared to last year, mainly attributable to the increase in total rental income from investment properties. The profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company amounted to approximately RMB19.5 million (2024: approximately RMB25.3 million), representing an decrease of approximately 22.9% as compared to last year. The decrease in profit was primarily due to the increase in dividend withholding tax and deferred tax expenses recognised in 2025. The Board has proposed to pay a final dividend of RMB1.04 cents per share for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: RMB1.05 cents). Together with the interim dividend of RMB0.73 cents per share, the full year dividend amounts to RMB1.77 cents per share (2024: RMB2.17 cents per share).As at 31 December 2025, the Group had current assets of approximately RMB241.0 million (2024: approximately RMB239.9 million). The increase in current assets was mainly a result of [the increase in deposits with maturity of more than three months and cash and bank balances during the year].. The Group had current liabilities of RMB20.1 million (2024: approximately RMB19.9 million). The increase in current liabilities was mainly due to he rise in lease liabilities arising from lease renewals.Property LeasingDuring the year under Review, the rental income from the Group’s property leasing business was approximately RMB34.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: RMB30.5 million). Due to increase in the average rent per square metre, and together with rental subsidies offered to tenants, the total rental income increase. As at 31 December 2025, the Group’s property portfolio comprises three commercial buildings, namely Everbright Financial Center, part of Everbright International Mansion and Ming Chang Building, with a total gross floor area (“GFA”) of approximately 89,507 square meters.Property Management ServiceThe Group provides property management services for its properties, namely Everbright Financial Center and Everbright International Mansion. Revenue from the Group’s property management services was approximately RMB15.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: RMB15.4 million). The increase in revenue from property management services was due to the increase in restaurant income. As at 31 December 2025, the total GFA under the Group’s management was 72,534 sq.m.Investment PropertiesThe Group's investment properties primarily consist of land and/or buildings which are owned or held under a leasehold interest to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation. As at 31 December 2025, the fair value of the investment properties was RMB979.0 million (2024: RMB967.1 million), representing an increase of approximately 1.23%. For the year ended 31 December 2025, the valuation gain on investment properties amounted to approximately RMB10.3 million (2024: approximately RMB6.6 million).PROSPECTSAs the World Bank noted that despite persistent trade tensions, the global economy has demonstrated stronger-than-expected resilience. Amid a complex environment of mounting external pressures and internal challenges, China continued to advance high-quality development, with the overall economy maintaining stable performance and achieving steady progress. With stable economic growth, corporate demand for commercial space has increased. Coupled with accelerated urbanization and the development of new business districts, demand for commercial properties has continued to rise, supporting the growth of commercial property management and leasing activities. In addition, the Chinese government has introduced a series of favourable policies for the commercial real estate sector, focusing on inventory digestion and optimization of industry planning, thereby providing further support to the property management and leasing industry.The Group’s managed properties mainly comprise commercial assets. Despite macroeconomic conditions and market competition, tenancy arrangements, lease agreements and occupancy rates remained stable in 2025. However, rental levels for newly signed leases were lower than in previous periods. To mitigate the pressure arising from rental adjustments, the Group will continue to enhance customer satisfaction by incorporating value-added services into new lease agreements, including property maintenance and upkeep, facilities management and community event planning.The Group’s existing properties are primarily located in Chengdu, Sichuan and Kunming, Yunnan—two key regional cities—and comprise three commercial buildings: Everbright Financial Center, Everbright International Mansion and Ming Chang Building. Benefiting from their prime locations and high-quality facilities, these properties have attracted a sizable number of state-owned enterprises and large institutions, providing a solid foundation for the Group’s leasing business. In recent years, the Group has successfully introduced tenants from emerging sectors such as software and technology, while also offering digitalised services to tenants. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to promote diversified business development and strive to attract more high-quality commercial tenants.In addition, the further escalation of the situation in the Middle East in March 2026 has led to rising energy prices, heightened inflation expectations and slower economic growth, all of which are core factors affecting overseas investment decisions. Accordingly, the Group will carefully reassess its asset allocation and regional risks with respect to its overseas investment plans. Despite the current significant volatility in the global economy, the Group will adhere to the principle of prudent operation, flexibly seize investment windows, and ensure the safety of capital operations.The Group continues to leverage technology to advance smart property management, enhance operational efficiency and elevate the customer experience. By strengthening digitalisation and refined management capabilities, the Group aims to further improve service quality and customer satisfaction.By fully leveraging the synergy with its parent company, China Everbright Group, while actively developing diversified value-added services to broaden its revenue mix and enhance brand influence. As the industry undergoes transformation and upgrading, the Group remains committed to prudent operations, a strong focus on risk management and internal controls, agile responses to macroeconomic and policy developments, continuous optimisation of its asset portfolio, further strengthening of its resilience against market uncertainties, and also actively explore new development opportunities to create greater value for the shareholders.About Everbright Grand China Assets LimitedEverbright Grand China Assets Limited is engaged in the businesses of property leasing and the provision of property management services under China Everbright Group.

Lithium Measurement MR-Technology Provider NanoNord Expands Business with DLE Leader ElectraLith, Following Danish State Visit to Australia

AALBORG, DENMARK AND MELBOURNE, AU, Mar 25, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The North Jutland technology company NanoNord has, in connection with the Royal Couple's state visit to Australia, secured an order for additional measurement equipment valued at between 160k - 240k AUD from the Australian deeptech pioneer ElectraLith. The order underscores the growing international potential for Danish measurement technology in the green transition.NanoNord was part of the business delegation during the state visit and seized the opportunity to strengthen its business with both existing and new customers in Australia. It is not the first time the Danish Royal Family has been close to NanoNord - the company was originally officially inaugurated by a then-young Crown Prince Frederik.Danish Technology Measures Lithium in Real TimeNanoNord's flagship technology, Tveskaeg, is an MR-based measurement instrument that enables precise real-time measurement of lithium and a range of other elements. The technology is wireless, uses neither chemicals nor disposable materials, and requires minimal calibration and maintenance - making it robust, green, and operationally reliable.ElectraLith uses Tveskaeg instruments as a central part of their groundbreaking DLE-R technology for lithium extraction. DLE (Direct Lithium Extraction) is a new and far more sustainable method for extracting lithium - a critical metal in the batteries powering the green transition. The full potential of the collaboration is up to DKK 10 million over the coming years, as ElectraLith rolls out its technology globally.The two companies connected in Melbourne during the Danish Industry reception 'An Evening in the Name of Business, Sport and Danish Dynamite,' and further strengthened ties during a meeting at ElectraLith's headquarters following the conclusion of the official business delegation.A Happy Customer on the Other Side of the Globe"Tveskaeg is an essential part of our DLE-R system and we are delighted with our partnership with Martin and the NanoNord team. Each DLE-R unit will include a Tveskaeg system to measure lithium and the order of additional units highlights its importance to our operations, particularly as we prepare for rapid global deployment to meet burgeoning demand lithium.Our existing two systems perform flawlessly and intuitively - so much so that our team has named them Forky and Hilda (after King Sweyn ‘Forkbeard' Tveskaeg and his wife). This is our second major order, in what we expect to be many."- Charlie McGill, CEO, ElectraLith"There is nothing better than visiting a customer on the other side of the globe and seeing our technology in use with happy customers like Charlie and his team. Our talented employees back at Skjernvej in Aalborg deserve the credit for the technology simply working and the customers being happy. That we can also bring home an order for additional instruments naturally makes me extra pleased."- Martin Mindorf, CCO, NanoNord"It is a great honour to be part of the historic state visit to Australia, and we are honoured by the attention from especially H.M. the Queen on this trip. The Queen quickly understood the potential of the technology in Australia and asked curiously about how Tveskaeg is used in connection with lithium extraction. NanoNord and ElectraLith are a great example of how our countries can work together, and there is great potential out here, particularly for the extraction of metals that are critical for the green transition. Beyond ElectraLith, we also have several exciting customers and prospects that we need to come back for."- Martin Mindorf, CCO, NanoNordAbout ElectraLithElectraLith is an American deeptech pioneer developing DLE-R - a proprietary electrochemical technology for lithium extraction and refining. The technology produces battery-grade lithium hydroxide or carbonate without water, chemicals, or waste, and can be powered by renewable energy.In December 2024, the company closed a materially oversubscribed Series A round of approximately USD 17 million with investors including Rio Tinto, Chevron, Marathon Petroleum, and In-Q-Tel. In 2026, ElectraLith was selected a Top Innovator by the World Economic Forum and has pilot projects planned in Australia, the United Kingdom, and Argentina.About NanoNordNanoNord was founded in 2001 by inventor Ole Nørgaard Jensen, who previously sold the Bluetooth pioneer company Digianswer to Motorola. The company develops and manufactures MR-based measurement equipment under the name Tveskaeg, used for applications including sodium measurement in food, lithium measurement in the mining industry, and nitrogen and phosphorus measurement in agriculture. Customers include global names such as Kraft-Heinz, Orkla, and Imerys. In the other industries, such as the food industry, NanoNord equipment eliminates the need for silver nitrate titration, and in several European countries, Tveskaeg technology is currently being tested for agricultural applications, where it has the potential to optimise the use of slurry, resulting in less groundwater pollution and better utilisation of nutrients.NanoNord is foundation- and family-owned, with the Lauritzen Foundation as a major investor, and continues to be led by founder Ole Nørgaard Jensen as CEO. In Australia, NanoNord is represented during the state visit by Martin Nørgaard Mindorf, CCO, the next generation of the family.Contact information:Martin MindorfCCOmm@nanonord.dk+4596341590Charlie McGillCEOcharles.mcgill@electralith.comSOURCE: NanoNord Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Adyton Reports 6.60g/t Au, 2.44% Cu and 39.8g/t Ag Within 164m @ 0.82g/t AuEq Including 53m at 1.60g/t AuEq Within 164m at 0.82g/t AuEq from the Northeastern Extension Target, Feni Island

Brisbane, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 25, 2026) - Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV: ADY) ("Adyton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive expansionary drill results from its ongoing exploration program at the 100% owned Feni Island Gold-Copper Project, located on the productive Lihir Trend, Papua New Guinea (PNG). This announcement provides all the assay results for expansionary hole FDD017 (preliminary results were first reported on February 18, 2026).Hole FDD017 previously returned 53m @ 1.29g/t Au (gold only) and now, incorporating newly released copper assays, reports as 53m @ 1.60g/t AuEq representing an approximate 25% increase in reported grade. In addition, strong silver (Ag) and molybdenum (Mo) results further support the presence of a highly fertile epithermal-porphyry at Kabang.KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF DRILL HOLE FDD017Final assays for hole FDD017 have delivered another >100g*m intercept, further confirming strong Au-Cu mineralisation in the north-eastern extension targetHole FDD017 yielded:53m @ 1.29g/t Au, 0.26% Cu (1.60g/t AuEq; from 151m)within a broader interval of 164m at 0.63g/t Au, 0.15% Cu (0.82g/t AuEq for 134g*m; from 36m);including a higher-grade interval that returned: 5m @ 3.6g/t Au, 1.48% Cu (5.63g/t AuEq: from 198m)In addition to gold and copper, FDD017 also reports significant silver and molybdenum signalling strong system fertility for a large alkalic epithermal-porphyry system:5m @ 22.3g/t Ag (from 198m) and 6m @ 275ppm Mo (from 295m; peak Mo 579ppm)These final assay results for hole FDD017 confirm the North-Eastern zone at Kabang is strongly mineralised and prospective for gold and copper and continues to expand this zone beyond the current resource model.Ground based IP/MT survey progressing well; looking to deploy within 2Q 2026."FDD017 continues to exceed our expectations, delivering a meaningful uplift in grade with the inclusion of copper and highlighting the strength of the broader mineralized system at Feni. The increase to 1.60g/t AuEq over 53 metres, combined with strong silver and molybdenum values, reinforces our view that Kabang represents a highly fertile and evolving epithermal-porphyry system. Importantly, this hole further confirms the scale and continuity of mineralization in the north-eastern extension, which remains open and continues to grow beyond the current resource footprint." said Tim Crossley, CEO.Adyton is looking forward to receiving additional assays from nearby drillholes within this zone and updating the market accordingly.SIGNIFICANT INTERCEPTSTable 1 shows the Significant Intercepts for gold and copper assay results received to date (new assays this release for FDD017 only).

Of note, geochemical zonation appears to be vectoring towards a hydrothermal fluid source to the SW and to depth - exactly where the Danmagal porphyry is located. Furthermore, the Kabang drilling has encountered smaller apophyses of porphyry style intrusives and copper mineralization, and the current geological model suggests that Danmagal is the likely source of these.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/289847_b8a30a4df4e5ea26_005full.jpgFUTURE CATALYSTS & OUTLOOKAdyton is well-funded with C$16.75m in cash and cash equivalents, 100% earmarked for the Feni Au-Cu Project (plus G&A). The company is executing a systematic exploration strategy to grow the MRE and discover new deposits. Upcoming results and milestones include:Pending Assays:NNE: FDD018, FDD020, FDD023, FDD025, FDD029SSW: FDD019, FDD021, FDD024, FDD026, FDD028Ongoing Drilling: focused on expanding the MRE footprint at Kabang, and testing new targets.Advanced Geophysics: An approximately 5km by 5km ground-based IP & MT survey is being scoped to detect additional deposits on Feni Island and detect deeper prospective targets for drilling (see Figure 1).Spectral Mapping: Deployment of pXRF as well as spectral mineral mapping (1Q 2026) to generate a 3D alteration model for precise vectoring toward the core of the mineralized system with potential high Au-Cu grades to target for drilling.FERGUSSON ISLAND PROGRESS UPDATEEVIH, our 50/50 JV partner, continues to make good progress on the restart of the Wapolu Au Mine.
