• Achieved a critical commercial inflection point by reaching unit economics (UE) breakeven in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, proving the replicability of a profitable robotaxi model.

• Transitioned to mass production of Gen-7 robotaxis through a multi-OEM network including Toyota, Guangzhou Auto, and Beijing Auto to accelerate fleet scaling.

• Implemented a ‘dual-engine’ strategy to simultaneously dominate China’s tier-one cities and expand into high-value international markets across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

• Guidance assumes continued policy tailwinds and coordinated government support for L4 autonomous driving licenses in both domestic and international markets.

• Achieved first-ever quarterly GAAP net profit in Q4 2025, primarily driven by gains from strategic equity investments rather than core operations.

• Operating expenses widened in 2025 due to front-loaded investments in Gen-7 mass production and R&D for the Pony World Model.

• Maintains a robust liquidity position with $1.5 billion in cash reserves following a successful Hong Kong IPO to fund aggressive 2026 expansion.
