JAKARTA, Nov 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Wintermar booked a 25.1%YOY rise in 9M2025 Operating Profit to US$14.7million, supported by an 11.6% increase in Owned Vessel Revenue and rising Gross Margins.Owned Vessel DivisionOwned Vessel Revenue rose by 11.6%YOY to US$50.3million for 9M2025, driven by a significant increase in High Tier vessel utilization to 76% for 9M2025 compared to 59% in 9M2024.Average charter rates for our fleet have risen around 5% since end 2024 whereas average utilization for 9M2025 was 60.4%, lower than utilization rates of 67% achieved in 9M2024. The lower utilization stemmed from the large number of spot contracts for our mid-tier fleet in 2025, which is characteristic of this early phase of the oil and gas investment cycle where most of the OSV demand is for seismic/survey or the exploration and construction, where projects tend to be completed in several weeks. In the mid-tier segment, the utilization of HLB was lower in 3Q2025 compared to 2Q2025 due to completion of spot contracts.Overall, the higher charter rates for the fleet compensated for lower overall fleet utilization this year, leading to a rise in gross margins for the Owned Vessel Division to 38% from 30% in 9M2024. Total Gross Profit for the Owned Vessel Division amounted to US$20.1million (+29.6%YOY) for 9M2025. Although the fleet is still impacted by fluctuations in quarter-to-quarter utilization as the majority of vessels are still on spot contracts, we are confident that there will be longer term contracts coming up in 2026-2027 as more projects head into the development and production phase of the oil and gas investment cycle.Chartering Division and Other ServicesContribution from the Chartering Division has declined, with gross profit of US$0.35million for 9M2025 compared to US$1.2million in 9M2024. This was because a few chartered vessels completed a project which will not be resuming this year. This reduction has been offset by higher Gross Profit from Other Services, which rose 8.1%YOY to US$1.8million from an increase in commissions, fees and other service income.Direct Expenses and Gross ProfitTotal Owned Vessel Direct Costs rose by 2.2%YOY to US$30.2million for 9M2025, due to higher depreciation and crewing costs. Depreciation rose to US$10.5million (+3.6%YOY) with the operation of 3 additional HLB vessels and 1 PSV compared to 9M2024. Crewing costs roseto US$8.1million (+7.6%YOY) as a result of a higher number of Dynamic Positioning (DP) vessels in the fleet and higher salaries for crew on international contracts. Fuel costs are borne by charterers while a vessel is on contract, and with more high tier vessels chartered out compared to the previous year, the overall fuel expenses fell by 19.1% YOY to US$1.76million in 9M2025.Indirect Expenses and Operating ProfitTotal Indirect Expenses rose by 14%YOY or US$0.9million to US$7.5million for 9M2025, with salary costs, employee benefits and staff training accounting for US$0.6million of this increase. As our business has expanded internationally, we have invested more heavily into human resources, particularly in the technical and technology divisions, and expanded our crew training and development programs to invest in developing young marine graduates and electrical engineers to have practical experience on board our fleet to be ready for future international operations.Operating Profit grew by 25.1% YOY to US$14.7million for 9M2025 compared to US$11.8million in 9M2024. Other Income, Expenses and Net Attributable ProfitNet interest expenses rose by US$0.4million as higher interest expenses were offset by interest income. Net gearing stands at only 0.6% as at end September 2025. Equity in Associate Companies fell to US$0.6million in 9M2025, from US$2.1million in 9M2024, due to poorer utilization in 3Q2025 and increased capital costs related to the award of a new long-term contract.There were no vessel sales in 3Q2025, and only one vessel sold in 2Q2025, realizing a gain of US$1.7million for 9M2025. This represents a sharp decline compared to 2024 which included a large one-off gain booked from vessel sales in 2024 where the Company made US$17.4million from the sale of several vessels including a significant gain from the sale of a PSV.Total Other Income for 9M2025 stood at US$1.3million which resulted in a net income before tax of US$16.1million for the nine months period year to date.Net profit attributable to shareholders for 9M2025 amounted to US$9.2million compared to US$19.7million in 9M2024. Net income before Non-Controlling Interest in 9M2025 fell to US$14.4million compared to US$27.2million in 9M2024 which included the impact of the PSV sale. EBITDA for 9M2025 rose by 15%YOY to US$25.5million, compared to US$22.1million in 9M2024. This reflects the strong cash flow enjoyed by the Company as most of the past vessel loans have been repaid.Industry Outlook The OSV industry was not spared from the global uncertainty in investor sentiment this year. Concerns over US tariffs and a potential global economic slowdown caused oil prices to trend lower, which led to a more cautious environment and delays in contract awards. Charter rates for OSVs which had risen sharply from 2021 to 2024 also saw a correction this year.The Oil and Gas investment cycle is a long-term cycle over several years from award of concessions to production. Due to the lack of investment in new reserves over a 8-year period until 2021, we are firmly optimistic that the longer-term fundamentals indicate continued investment in oil and gas exploration. In the Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) industry, there has been nearly no newbuilding of high tier Dynamic Positioning (DP) equipped vessels from 2015 to 2022. The softening in OSV charter rates this year is expected to be short term in nature as the limited supply of operationally ready OSVs points to a sustained shortage of OSV supply in the coming years. This is illustrated in the chart below, which shows the active fleet compared with the small number of idle PSVs and charter rates for the period 2023-2025. From the data, demand continues to be high with overall global fleet utilization close to 90%.Business ProspectsThe short-term weakness in oil prices over the past quarter reflects the volatile geopolitical sentiment which has been driven by changing news flows more than industry fundamentals. The structural outlook for oil and gas supply support stable oil prices, resulting from years of underinvestment in new reserves. In 2025, there have been several projects in Indonesia which are still at the early stage of the investment cycle, where seismic and exploration work only necessitates spot contracts. This has caused volatility in our fleet utilization. However, the long investment cycle from exploration to production indicates that there will be more demand in the coming years as these projects will continue towards production targets in 2027. This will underpin OSV demand in the coming years. Taking into consideration the limited orderbooks for new OSVs to be delivered in the coming years, we remain very optimistic that charter rates and utilization will improve in the coming years, as we continue to add high value vessels.Award of long-term contract in BruneiOur associate company, Fast Offshore Supply Pte Ltd (FOS), based in Singapore, has been awarded a tender to supply 5 newbuild 55-metre Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) under a five-year charter contract in Brunei for delivery in 2027. Construction of the vessels has commenced, and WINS has participated in a rights issue to support this project. The vessels are being constructed by FOS in Singapore and Batam. This new long-term contract provides secure future earnings and fleet renewal for FOS, thereby improving the financial & revenue contribution to the Company.About Wintermar Offshore Marine GroupWintermar Offshore Marine Group (WINS.JK), developed over nearly 50 years with a track record of quality that is both a source of pride and responsibility that we are dedicated to upholding, and sails a fleet of more than 48 Offshore Support Vessels ready for long term as well as spot charters.

HONG KONG, Nov 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Star Plus Legend Holdings Limited (“Star Plus Legend” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiary, the “Group”, stock code: 6683.HK), announced that the Group, through an industrial fund, has subscribed no more than 7% of the issued share capital (the “Investment”) of Galaxy Corporation Co., Ltd (“Galaxy”), a well-known entertainment management company in South Korea. The first closing of the Industry Fund was completed, and the Group has contributed US$8 million to subscribe for the Industry Fund’s Interest, being 16% of the Interest. The remaining Interest were held by two Independent Third Parties. The Investment is expected to create synergy for the Group through various cooperations with Galaxy and artists managed by it. The Group is currently engaged in advanced discussions with Galaxy regarding details of the strategic partnership, including but not limited to collaborations with Galaxy’s artists on exhibitions, concerts, and the development of artist IP and related merchandise.Galaxy boasts a roster of globally influential artists, including Kwon Ji-Yong (also known as G Dragon), Kim Jong-kook and Song Kanghao. Becoming a strategic shareholder of Galaxy marks a key milestone in the Company’s global IP expansion. This investment will not only strengthen the Company’s deep collaboration with top international celebrity IPs, but also inject strong momentum into its strategic vision of building a “global IP development and operation platform”.Two Industry-leading Powerhouses Join Forces to Seize the High Ground of Global Top-tier IP ResourcesIn recent years, the Company has continued to expand its IP portfolio, led by two flagship celebrity IPs “CHOUCHOU” and “Coach Liu”, and the cumulative number of fans of the IP portfolio has reached 280 million. The Company also recently introduced a new original IP character, “WAKAEMO.” As the copyright owner of Jay Chou’s official Nijgen-style personality “CHOUCHOU,” the Company has successfully extended the IP’s licensing to five major sectors, including fashion, cultural and creative products, and 3C electronics. To date, “CHOUCHOU” has collaborated with over 200 brands, generating cumulative co-branded product sales exceeding RMB 1 billion.Galaxy holds artist IPs that possess exceptional rarity and strategic value, including Kwon Ji-Yong (a highly influential figure in the world of K-pop), Kim Jong-kook (best known internationally for his roles in Korean variety shows such as Running Man) and Song Kanghao (a global icon in cinemas and lead actor in movies including Parasite and A Taxi Driver). The global influence and commercial value of these renowned artists will provide strong support for the Company as it expands across Asia and beyond, marking a significant leap in the Company’s IP strategy from the Chinese-speaking market to the global stage.The Company’s celebrity IPs, particularly those related to Jay Chou, demonstrate immense commercial potential, a solid fan base, and strong market appeal. The partnership between these two industry-leading powerhouses represents not only a strategic integration of resources, but also a mutual empowerment of brand influence. This collaboration is expected to significantly enhance both parties’ global visibility and unlock broader international cooperation opportunities. The strategic value of IP has already been recognized by the market: Star Plus Legend’s stock price once surged over 160% in a single day following Jay Chou’s debut on Douyin as “CHOUCHOU.”This investment aligns seamlessly with the Company’s recent series of strategic initiatives. From launching a collaboration program with 100 international pop artists, to partnering with Unitree Robotics in developing IP-based smart robots, and becoming the only private-sector shareholder of the National Stadium (Bird’s Nest), the Company is building a global ecosystem that integrates “IP + Products + Technology + Channels.” The investment in Galaxy represents a crucial step in this strategic blueprint, expected to generate new growth momentum and unlock the limitless potential of the “IP+” model.Unlocking the Commercial Potential of Global IPs and Building a Worldwide IP EcosystemThe Company plans to collaborate closely with Galaxy across multiple areas, including global concert tours, large-scale themed exhibitions, and the creation and development of celebrity IPs and related merchandise. By leveraging Galaxy’s artist resources, the Company will apply its mature capabilities in IP creation and end-to-end operations to bring these collaborative projects to global markets, enabling scalable expansion of its business model.In addition, by becoming a strategic shareholder of Galaxy, the Company establishes a capital linkage that systematically connects it to a diversified and mature pool of international IP resources. This provides a richer content foundation and more stable resource support for IP operations, strongly underpinning the Company’s goal of building a “global IP development and operation platform” and advancing toward a value-maximizing, sustainable IP ecosystem.The key highlight of this collaboration lies in the synergy between the Company’ top-tier celebrity IPs and its mature IP operation system, and Galaxy’s world-class international IP assets. Future cooperation between the two parties is expected to go beyond the one-way export of proven business models, aiming instead to achieve deep resonance between global top-tier IPs and operational capabilities in international markets. This not only promises substantive expansion of the Company’s business footprint but also has the potential to reshape market valuation logic, opening up a more imaginative growth space for investors.

埃及沙姆沙伊赫, 2025年11月1日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - Energy Enhancement System, LLC ("EES") 在其持续捍卫真相、创新与诚信、抵御来自Jason Shurka及The Light System, Inc.（TLS）的毫无根据的攻击的行动中，又一次取得了决定性胜利。美国纽约东区联邦地区法院正式批准EES推进其全面驳回动议，这强烈表明法院认可EES在法律与事实层面的坚实立场。多个司法辖区的法官现已将Shurka的诉状形容为“毫无根据” 和“徒劳无益”，并多次将案件发回EES最初提起诉讼的法院——而EES在那些法院中持续获胜。真相胜于欺骗这一最新裁决是在几个月的广泛诉讼往来之后作出的，这些文件揭露了EES所称的一场协调一致的误导宣传与品牌混淆行动。法院记录显示，Shurka曾在短暂的时间内参与过EES有限的市场推广活动，但随后发起了一个竞争性项目，虚假暗示其产品与原始EESystem技术相同或源自该技术。EES在内华达州与纽约州的诉讼详细说明了Shurka及TLS如何虚假陈述其合作关系、滥用EES的知识产权，并利用公众影像与研究成果来宣传他们的仿制产品。这些起诉引用了《兰哈姆法》（Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125）及《内华达州欺骗性贸易行为法》（Nevada Deceptive Trade Practices Act）等多项法律条款。“这不是关于竞争的问题，而是关于保护几十年来诚实工作与创新成果的问题。”——EESystem创始人兼发明人 荣誉博士 桑德拉·罗斯·迈克尔（Hon. Dr. Sandra Rose Michael, DNM, DCSJ）表示。“我早在1978年就开始研发这项技术——远在这些人出现之前。我们将继续守护我们的诚信传承，确保真相而非谎言引导我们的社群。”法院的裁定授权EESystem维持其立场并推进全面驳回动议——这清晰地再次确认了真实与诚信终将胜出。“每一次有利于我们的判决，都在强化我们的证据，也让全球各中心更加团结一致。”——EESystem发言人、桑德拉·罗斯·迈克尔博士之女 梅拉·贝托拉奇尼（Mela Bertolacini）补充道。真正创新的传承近五十年来，荣誉博士 桑德拉·罗斯·迈克尔（DNM, DCSJ）一直领导着能量增强系统（Energy Enhancement System, EESystem）的研发——这项技术探索标量场与光子能量环境如何与人体系统相互作用。能量增强系统在全球拥有数百个公共中心，以其研究、工程精度与教育推广的独特融合而闻名。总部位于内华达州的能量增强系统有限公司持续推动新兴能量科学领域的研究与设计，营造促进放松、一致性与科学好奇心的环境。自1978年以来，迈克尔博士的工作始终强调以诚信推动创新，并追求在科学与意识交汇处的更深理解。关于能量增强系统（EESystem）由荣誉博士 桑德拉·罗斯·迈克尔（DNM, DCSJ）创立的能量增强系统有限公司（Energy Enhancement System, LLC）是一家总部位于内华达州的研究与科技公司，致力于负责任地探索标量场与光子能量现象。公司的使命是促进透明、教育以及与全球科学家、从业者及社区中心合作开展基于一致性的环境研究。为确保公开透明并便于公众核实，案件详情可通过官方法院档案查询：Energy Enhancement System, LLC v.

LAS VEGAS, NV, Oct 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Energy Enhancement System, LLC ("EES") has achieved another decisive victory in its ongoing effort to defend truth, innovation, and integrity against baseless attacks from Jason Shurka and The Light System, Inc. ("TLS").The United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York has formally granted EES permission to move forward with its full motion to dismiss - a strong indication that the court recognizes the legal and factual strength of EES's position. Judges in multiple jurisdictions have now described Shurka's filings as "baseless" and "futile," repeatedly returning the cases to the very courts where EES first initiated them - and where EES continues to win.Truth Over DeceptionThe latest decision follows months of extensive filings exposing what EES alleges was a coordinated campaign of misinformation and brand confusion.Court records show that Shurka, once briefly involved in limited marketing activities with EES, launched a competing venture falsely implying that his product was identical to or derived from the original EESystem technology.EES's lawsuits in Nevada and New York detail how Shurka and TLS misrepresented their affiliation, misused EES's intellectual property, and exploited public imagery and research to promote their imitation product. These filings cite violations under the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. § 1125) and the Nevada Deceptive Trade Practices Act, among others."This is not about competition; it's about protecting decades of honest work and innovation," said Hon. Dr. Sandra Rose Michael, DNM, DCSJ, founder and inventor of the EESystem."I began developing this technology in 1978 - long before these individuals appeared. We will continue to safeguard our legacy of integrity and ensure that truth, not falsehood, guides our community."The court's decision authorizes EESystem to maintain course and proceed with its full motion to dismiss - a clear reaffirmation that authenticity and integrity prevail."Every decision in our favor strengthens our evidence and unites our global centers even further," added Mela Bertolacini, daughter of Sandra Rose Michael and EESystem spokesperson.A Legacy of Authentic InnovationFor nearly five decades, Hon. Dr. Sandra Rose Michael, DNM, DCSJ, has guided the development of the Energy Enhancement System (EESystem) - a technology exploring how scalar-field and photonic energy environments interact with the human system.Energy Enhancement System, with hundreds of public centers across the globe, is recognized for its distinctive integration of research, engineering precision, and educational outreach.From its Nevada headquarters, Energy Enhancement System, LLC advances research and design in emerging energy sciences, fostering environments that encourage relaxation, coherence, and scientific curiosity. Since 1978, Dr. Michael's work has emphasized innovation with integrity and the pursuit of deeper understanding at the intersection of science and consciousness.About Energy Enhancement System (EESystem)Founded by Hon. Dr. Sandra Rose Michael, DNM, DCSJ, Energy Enhancement System, LLC is a Nevada-based research and technology company dedicated to the responsible exploration of scalar-field and photonic energy phenomena.

Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, Oct 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Today, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia solidified its global leadership in public financial auditing and accounting by winning the chairmanship of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI). The announcement was made during the 25th General Assembly of INTOSAI, held in Sharm El-Sheikh under the patronage of His Excellency President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi of the Arab Republic of Egypt.Saudi ArabiaSaudi Arabia Assumes Chairmanship of INTOSAIThe General Assembly declared Saudi Arabia, represented by the General Court of Audit (GCA), as the Chair of INTOSAI starting in 2031 for a three-year term. Saudi Arabia will host delegations from over 195 countries, led by the heads of Supreme Audit Institutions, assuming leadership of the world's foremost organization in financial and performance auditing. This role positions Saudi Arabia to steer global efforts in enhancing transparency, public sector governance, and government performance, while reinforcing public trust in national economies.On this occasion, His Excellency Dr. Hussam Alangari, President GCA, extended his congratulations to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, acknowledging their unwavering support and empowerment of GCA. He emphasized that this achievement reflects the Kingdom's international standing and global trust, enabling it to play a pivotal role in advancing auditing and accountability worldwide. Dr. Alangari highlighted the transformative developments in organizational independence, technical and human capacity, and methodological innovation that have enabled GCA to achieve its vision of impactful audit, public sector effectiveness, and quality of life for citizens. He added: "Saudi Arabia welcomes the world in 2031, and we look forward to hosting everyone in Riyadh to shape a global future that promotes transparency, governance, and governmental effectiveness."This milestone crowns decades of international engagement led by Saudi Arabia through GCA, starting with its early membership in INTOSAI in 1977. Saudi Arabia has consistently taken leadership roles in international and regional organizations, including serving as Chair of the Arab Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (ARABOSAI) for two consecutive terms since 2022, and the upcoming Chair of the Asian Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (ASOSAI) starting in 2027. GCA has also led numerous INTOSAI committees and initiatives focused on capacity building and enhancing the efficiency of peer SAIs in developing countries, reflecting the Saudi Arabia commitment to advancing auditing and accountability globally.Founded over seventy years ago, INTOSAI is the largest and most prestigious international organization uniting Supreme Audit Institutions worldwide. Today, it comprises over 195 member countries, each represented by its Supreme Audit Institution, working to enhance transparency, governance, and public sector auditing, with the ultimate goal of improving citizens' lives around the world.Contact InformationGeneral Court of AuditMedia Centergca@gca.gov.sa0114056770SOURCE: General Court of Audit Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Oct 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The global energy transition presents an irreversible trend in the world today. Amidst this historic process, the energy storage industry is particularly critical in the construction of new power systems. Its exponential growth trajectory unequivocally declares it to be a “Golden Track” brimming with long-term potential. From an investment perspective, when selecting companies in the energy storage sector, leading players with high growth visibility and strong certainty are clearly the most worthwhile targets for current focus and monitoring. ZhiTong Finance believes that Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as “Hithium Energy Storage”), which recently filed its Application Proof for listing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX), is a prime example.Founded in 2019, Hithium Energy Storage has achieved an extraordinary market position in just over five years. This is naturally reflected in its financial statements, where core financial data continues to trace a steep upward curve. For instance, building on a high base from last year, Hithium Energy Storage’s revenue reached RMB 6.971 billion in the first six months of this year, representing a massive year-on-year increase of 224.6%. Gross profit rapidly expanded from less than RMB 100 million in the same period last year to RMB 916 million, marking a robust year-on-year surge of 1073.4%. The net profit metric also underwent a simultaneous “qualitative change,” successfully turning profitable in the first half of the year with a profit of RMB 223 million.Even more noteworthy, Hithium Energy Storage's latest performance trend has released a strong value signal: its more profitable international business is powerfully “taking the baton” to become the new “locomotive” contributing incremental performance. In the first half of this year, the proportion of Hithium Energy Storage's international revenue surged to 17.5%, a “qualitative leap” compared to 3.3% in the same period last year. While the revenue weight increased significantly, the profit potential of the international business was also initially unlocked. It is estimated that Hithium Energy Storage's international business achieved a gross margin of 30.5% in the first half, a figure significantly higher than the 9.5% gross margin of its Chinese mainland business during the same period. The rapid scaling of Hithium Energy Storage's international business is largely due to its early and acute recognition of the importance of overseas markets, evidenced by its proactive establishment of a production base in Texas, USA, making it the first Chinese company to set up energy storage system production capacity in the United States. With the rapid expansion of its international business, it is reasonable to expect Hithium Energy Storage’s revenue scale and profitability metrics to continue growing rapidly.Cultivating Global Competitiveness Around Core StrategiesThe corporate history of Hithium Energy Storage can, in a way, be viewed as a classic example of the global offensive launched by Chinese manufacturing. Over the past few years, Hithium Energy Storage’s business volume has continuously climbed new steps. According to the company’s prospectus, the compound annual growth rate of Hithium Energy Storage’s ESS battery shipments reached 167% from 2022 to 2024. In the first six months of this year, Hithium Energy Storage's ESS battery shipments reached 30 GWh, with a year-on-year growth rate of 252.9%. Despite the high base, there is no sign of a “regression to the mean” in its shipment growth rate; instead, it has further accelerated.The secret behind the consistently rapid increase in Hithium Energy Storage's product shipments is likely embedded within the company's three core strategies. Focusing on energy storage is one of the company's core strategies. Placing Hithium Energy Storage within the industry perspective, this is clearly an “atypical” new energy technology company. The key feature of this “atypical” nature is that since its inception, the company has consistently focused solely on the energy storage sector, unlike other leading companies in the industry that disperse their focus across the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. It is likely due to this singular focus that Hithium Energy Storage is able to better understand the fundamental logic and core challenges of the industry. The continued realization of high growth expectations this year is undoubtedly closely linked to the company's unwavering focus on the energy storage domain, based on a deep understanding of the market.In an era where technological innovation is playing a decisive role in the global competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, any manufacturing enterprise aiming to break out must establish a leading edge in technology and product capabilities. By adhering to the core strategy of building competitive barriers through R&D and innovation, Hithium Energy Storage has consistently matched the vast and rapidly growing market demand with high-quality supply over the years. Data shows that Hithium Energy Storage's cumulative expenditure on R&D exceeded RMB 1.5 billion from 2022 to the first half of 2025. To date, the company has assembled an R&D team of over 1,030 professionals, with over 30% holding a master's degree or higher. This continuously growing R&D expense and powerful R&D talent pool provide the foundational support for Hithium Energy Storage to intensively launch innovative products.In terms of energy storage battery products, Hithium Energy Storage currently mainly offers 280Ah and 314Ah cells and has unveiled the ∞Cell 587Ah and ∞Cell 1175Ah ESS batteries. Furthermore, it has introduced the sodium-ion ESS battery with a cycle life exceeding 20,000 cycles. Protected by its strong core scientific and technological capabilities, the company has entered a vigorous new product cycle.For energy storage system products, Hithium Energy Storage provides all-round energy storage systems with leading capabilities that can be applied in power stations, grids, data centers, commercial and industrial, and residential scenarios. Current delivered products include the 5MWh liquid-cooling energy storage system. Last month, at RE+ 2025—the largest and most influential international solar and energy storage exhibition globally, held in Las Vegas, USA—Hithium Energy Storage unveiled energy storage solutions for AI Data Centers (AIDC), such as the ∞Power 6.25MWh 8h lithium-ion long-duration energy storage system.Its core R&D innovation strength has also provided crucial assistance for Hithium Energy Storage to achieve scaled production and extreme efficiency. It is reported that Hithium Energy Storage has continuously overcome technological bottlenecks and successfully iterated four generations of smart factories within the last three years, leading to a continuous decline in unit manufacturing costs over the past three years. Currently, the company’s fifth-generation factory is also under construction and is expected to commence operation next year. Combined with the explosive growth in Hithium Energy Storage’s shipment data, it is fair to say that “Hithium Smart Manufacturing” has become a reality. Furthermore, the prospectus reveals that the ∞Cell 587Ah, ∞Cell 1175Ah, and ∞Cell N162Ah ESS battery cell products, as well as the ∞Power 6.25 MWh 2h/4h ESS system product, are all expected to achieve mass production in the second half of the year, which will lead to a continued significant increase in Hithium Energy Storage’s shipments in the latter half of the year.How to Evaluate the Investment Value of an “Evolving” Energy Storage Leader?Looking across the global capital markets, star technology stocks in mainstream markets have generally been favored by capital this year. The clear dominance of the growth style is underpinned by emerging industries, including new energy, which are gradually becoming critical drivers stimulating current economic growth, thereby guiding market consensus and capital flows.Given Hithium Energy Storage's strong growth DNA, its consistent delivery on growth expectations over the past few years, and its high growth visibility for the future, it is anticipated that the company will become a highly sought-after “hot commodity” in the new stock market after its listing on the HKEX.Reviewing its historical performance, Hithium Energy Storage achieved a compound annual growth rate of 89% in revenue from 2022 to 2024. The gross profit margin significantly jumped from 11.3% in 2022 to 17.9% in 2024. Concurrently, the net profit metric achieved a historic turnaround in 2024, reaching RMB 288 million. Over the same period, the company's metric of total assets minus current liabilities also grew annually, increasing from RMB 718 million in 2022 to RMB 1.701 billion in 2024, indicating a continuously optimizing balance sheet. Building upon the high-performance base of 2024, Hithium Energy Storage's core financial data continued its rapid advance in the first half of this year, strongly fulfilling growth expectations.A detailed analysis shows that Hithium Energy Storage’s proactive adjustment of its business structure and market strategy is also a key reason for the leap in its financial data. In terms of business structure, the company continues to promote the development of businesses with higher added value. According to data from the prospectus, the revenue from energy storage systems accounted for 18.3% of total revenue in the first half of this year, a significant increase from 7.9% in the same period last year. From a profitability perspective, the gross margin for the ESS System business was 29.7% in the first half, notably higher than the 9.7% gross margin for the ESS Battery business. The rising weight of high-margin business clearly had a positive impact on increasing the company's profits.Regarding its market strategy, as stated at the beginning of the article, Hithium Energy Storage has achieved global operations covering the entire value chain, guided by its globalization strategy. In 2024, the company's international revenue ratio historically rose to 28.6%. In the first half of this year, Hithium Energy Storage's revenue scale and revenue contribution ratio in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and other countries and regions in Asia all significantly increased. All evidence indicates that Hithium Energy Storage's strategic move to establish advanced production capacity in the United States played an extremely critical role in the further scaling of the company's overall performance in the first half of this year. Currently, the company's strategy of building a diversified global market is accelerating in its effectiveness, and its reliance on any single regional market is significantly reduced.ZhiTong Finance believes that Hithium Energy Storage's track record has already proven it to be a company with deep growth DNA. Furthermore, considering the broad prospects of the energy storage sector and the company's long-term strategy of increasing its presence in international markets, the company's growth sustainability and visibility are excellent. Therefore, Hithium Energy Storage can be considered a high-potential stock in the energy storage field with significant long-term investment value. A company that aligns with market preference and investor expectations, upon its successful listing on the HKEX, is highly likely to be sought after by various capital sources.

The incidence of common adverse reactions (conjunctivitis, injection site reactions, etc.) of drugs with the same target is relatively low for MG-K10.The Product has the potential for the treatment of other type 2 inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, prurigo nodularis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic spontaneous urticaria, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Among them, asthma, prurigo nodularis and seasonal allergic rhinitis have all entered the phase III clinical trial stage in China.If MG-K10 is approved, it will provide a new, effective, and safe systemic treatment option for 14.5 million patients with moderate-to-severe AD[1]. Furthermore, MG-K10 will generate synergy with Dermavon's ruxolitinib cream (for mild to moderate AD), the oral small molecule TYK2 inhibitor CMS-D001 (for moderate to severe AD), and dermatology-grade skincare products of Heling soothing product series, establishing a comprehensive solution for AD that covers various administration routes (injection, oral, and topical) and addresses multiple needs in “treatment + care”, benefiting a wide range of AD patients. Concurrently, it will further enrich Dermavon's product portfolio in the field of dermatological treatment and reinforce its leading position in skin health sector.On 24 January 2025, CMS through its subsidiaries entered into a Collaboration Agreement (“Agreement”) with Hunan Mabgeek Biotech Co., LTD and its subsidiaries for MG-K10. In accordance with the Agreement and supplementary agreements, CMS has obtained the co-development rights (excluding AD) and exclusive commercialization rights for the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and Singapore; its subsidiary Dermavon has obtained, through its subsidiary, the co-development rights (excluding AD) and exclusive commercialization rights for the Product in the field of dermatological indications in Mainland China.About AD IndicationMG-K10’s first indication, AD, is a chronic inflammatory skin disease accompanied by severe itching. It is the most burdensome non-fatal skin disease worldwide and also a chronic disease with a relatively high prevalence and significant disease burden in China. It is estimated that there are over 54 million AD patients in China in 2024. Based on SCORAD scores, the proportion of moderate to severe AD in China was 27%, which means there are over 14.5 million patients[1]. Due to the limitations in efficacy and safety of traditional systemic therapies for AD, moderate to severe AD patients often experience delays in systemic treatment initiation, poor compliance, and suboptimal disease control, leaving a significant unmet need in clinical practice[2]. MG-K10, with its extended dosing interval of once every four weeks, is expected to improve patient adherence and provide a new, effective, and safe systemic treatment option for patients with moderate-to-severe AD.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products.
