BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, Aug 14, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Airwheel has officially announced the launch of its new luxury AI wheel cabin suitcase, a 20-inch carry-on electric ride luggage that integrates smart mobility technology to redefine how travelers move. Airwheel is bringing a new dimension of intelligent mobility to one of the most familiar products in travel—the cabin suitcase. As AI, robotics, and electric mobility move rapidly from emerging technologies into everyday life, Airwheel is rethinking how people move with their luggage. Its latest generation of intelligent rideable luggage integrates electric drive systems, smart controls, digital connectivity, and human-machine interaction, transforming the traditional suitcase from a passive carrier into an active mobility companion. Designed for airports, railway stations, business trips, exhibitions, and urban exploration, Airwheel's portfolio of Smart Suitcase, Rideable Suitcase, and Electric Suitcase solutions reflects a broader shift in travel technology: the suitcase is no longer simply something travelers carry—it can become part of how they move.From Intelligent Mobility to Embodied IntelligenceAirwheel has focused on intelligent mobility, evolving from smart self-balancing vehicles and electric bicycles to intelligent wheelchairs and rideable luggage. Across these categories, the company has continued to explore how electric drive technology, intelligent control, and human-machine interaction can create a more natural connection between people and technology.That exploration is becoming increasingly relevant as AI and Embodied Intelligence move from algorithms and digital interfaces into the physical world.For Airwheel, luggage represents a particularly relevant opportunity.Modern travel has become faster and more connected, yet much of the journey still depends on physical movement between airports, railway platforms, hotels, convention centers, and urban destinations. These short-distance transitions can become one of the most tiring parts of a trip.Airwheel is addressing this overlooked part of mobility with a simple question:What if a suitcase could do more than carry belongings? What if it could actively participate in the journey?The company's answer is its Rideable Cabin Suitcase.By combining electric drive technology, intelligent controls, digital connectivity, and human-machine interaction, Airwheel transforms conventional luggage from a passive container into a mobility companion designed to move with its user.This approach offers a practical interpretation of Embodied Intelligence in everyday travel—bringing intelligent technology beyond the screen and into the physical experience of moving through the real world.Riding Turns Luggage into a Mobility ExperienceAirwheel's approach to more flexible travel begins with giving the suitcase the ability to ride.Its smart luggage integrates electric drive systems, motorized wheels, and intelligent riding handles, allowing users to switch from conventional pulling to electric riding.Whether navigating an airport, transferring between railway platforms, moving through an exhibition center, or exploring a city, users can reduce the physical effort associated with pulling luggage.For Airwheel, riding is more than a product feature. It represents a change in the relationship between travelers and their luggage.Instead of simply following behind, the suitcase becomes part of the movement itself.Luggage can move with the traveler rather than simply being pulled by the traveler.From Rideable to Connected: Building a Smarter Travel ExperienceElectric mobility gives the suitcase the ability to move. Intelligent connectivity adds another layer by connecting the traveler with the device.Airwheel has developed dedicated mobile applications for multiple smart rideable suitcase models, supporting major operating systems including Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS.Users can monitor riding speed, battery status, mileage, and other operating information while adjusting speed settings, controlling lighting, and accessing intelligent remote-control functions.Low-battery notifications and Bluetooth disconnection alerts further enhance everyday usability, while selected models support Apple Find My, allowing users to locate their luggage through Apple's established tracking ecosystem.Together, these capabilities move the Smart Suitcase beyond traditional luggage functionality.The goal is not to add technology for Airwheel sake, but to make interaction simpler, more intuitive, and more useful throughout the journey.Beyond Efficiency: The Emotional Value of Intelligent MobilityFor younger travelers, a Smart Suitcase can become a distinctive expression of technology and personal style. For business travelers, an Electric Suitcase can reduce physical fatigue during frequent movement. For families, a Rideable Suitcase can give children a more active role in the travel experience.Airwheel's intelligent luggage portfolio includes 20-inch Cabin Suitcase configurations for compact travel as well as larger 24-inch checked-luggage models for longer journeys.Selected models feature 73.26Wh modular lithium batteries and relevant safety certification, while removable battery designs provide additional flexibility for different transportation scenarios.TSA-compatible combination locks are designed to support international travel and security inspection requirements.USB charging connectivity further expands the role of the suitcase, allowing travelers to conveniently power smartphones and other portable electronic devices while on the move.The result is a new category of travel equipment that combines several roles: luggage, personal electric mobility, portable power, and connected technology.Airwheel's Smart Suitcase PortfolioAirwheel continues to expand its intelligent luggage portfolio to address different travel needs, from premium business trips and cabin travel to long-distance journeys and family vacations.Airwheel SE3SXD Ai Luxury Suitcase: One-Touch Deployment for a New Riding ExperienceThe Airwheel SE3SXD is positioned as Airwheel's flagship intelligent rideable suitcase, introducing a one-touch automatic deployment system designed to simplify the transition into riding mode.With a single press, the motorized front wheel and intelligent riding handle automatically extend and lock into position. The system eliminates the need for multiple manual adjustments before riding, with a maximum riding speed of up to 9.9 km/h.This shift—from users manually configuring a device to the device automatically completing part of the setup—illustrates Airwheel's approach to more natural human-machine interaction.Its 20-inch cabin configuration, smart app connectivity, and USB charging further position the SE3SXD within the emerging category of AI Suitcase and next-generation intelligent travel technology.Airwheel SE3SL+ Airport Suitcase: Smart Mobility for Frequent TravelersDesigned for frequent travelers, the Airwheel SE3SL+ combines intelligent riding, smart connectivity, and a portable 20-inch design.The model supports riding speeds of up to 9.9 km/h and integrates smart app connectivity, USB charging, and Apple Find My support.Its 20-inch format makes it suitable for carry-on travel, while the modular 73.26Wh lithium battery and relevant safety certification are designed around modern transportation requirements.For business trips and premium leisure travel, the SE3SL+ combines the convenience of a Carry-On Suitcase with the mobility of an Electric Suitcase.Airwheel SE3S Smart Electric Suitcase: A Proven Rideable Mobility PlatformThe Airwheel SE3S is one of Airwheel's established rideable luggage models, combining a high-performance motorized wheel with riding speeds of up to 13 km/h.Designed for everyday travel and urban exploration, it helps reduce the physical effort associated with conventional luggage while providing a more engaging mobility experience.Its development reflects Airwheel's continued evolution of the Rideable Suitcase from an emerging product concept into a practical travel solution.Airwheel SE3T: More Capacity for Longer JourneysFor travelers who require additional storage, the Airwheel SE3T features a 24-inch suitcase body with approximately 48 liters of capacity.Its internal organization and side-opening design are intended to make packing and accessing belongings more convenient, while riding speeds of up to 13 km/h help reduce the effort required to move larger luggage.The SE3T extends Airwheel's electric rideable luggage concept beyond compact cabin travel to longer journeys.Airwheel SQ3S Kids Suitcase: Bringing Children into the Travel ExperienceDesigned for family travel, the Airwheel SQ3S gives younger travelers an opportunity to participate more actively in the journey.The smart rideable children's suitcase supports riding speeds of up to approximately 6.5 km/h, helping children keep pace with their parents during travel.An integrated high-fidelity audio system supports TF cards and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing children to enjoy music, stories, and educational content along the way.For young travelers, it is more than luggage. It becomes a personal rideable companion designed to add interaction and enjoyment to family travel.Technology, in this context, does not replace human experience. It enriches it.The Airwheel has continued to develop technologies spanning electric drive systems, intelligent controls, human-machine interaction, and personal mobility, applying these capabilities across different categories of transportation products.From smart self-balancing vehicles and electric bicycles to intelligent wheelchairs and rideable luggage, Airwheel has pursued one consistent question:How can technology become a more natural part of human mobility?To date, Airwheel has accumulated more than 600 patents worldwide, including international invention patents and PCT patents.Its products have also received recognition from international design programs, including the MUSE Design Awards, Berlin Design Awards, French Design Awards, and Asian Design Awards.For Airwheel, however, patents and awards are not the destination.The real value of technology lies in how it improves everyday life.Future intelligent devices may not simply answer questions or process commands. They may increasingly sense their environments, respond to users, participate in physical actions, and become more naturally integrated into everyday life.For mobility, this could mean smarter vehicles, more capable robots, and luggage with its own ability to move.Airwheel's intelligent rideable luggage represents one practical expression of this transformation.By integrating electric drive systems, intelligent controls, digital connectivity, and human-machine interaction into a familiar travel product, Airwheel is exploring how AI Suitcase, Smart Suitcase, and Rideable Suitcase technologies can evolve beyond conventional luggage.Ultimately, the purpose of intelligent mobility is not to make travel more complicated. It is to give people more choices—to move with less effort, explore with greater freedom, and experience more control, convenience, and enjoyment along the way.The world keeps moving forward.Our way of moving should evolve with it.Airwheel continues to explore how intelligent mobility can make every journey lighter, smarter, freer, and more enjoyable.Media ContactCompany: AirwheelContact: Media TeamWebsite: https://www.airwheel.net Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Robotic mowers still represent a small fraction of the broader lawn‑equipment market, leaving significant room for penetration.Rising labor shortages and escalating lawn‑maintenance costs are fueling demand for automation. Concurrently, regulatory initiatives worldwide to phase out gasoline‑powered outdoor equipment are gaining momentum, accelerating industry electrification. Shifting consumer preferences toward intelligent, convenient solutions are fostering deeper integration of robotic mowers with smart‑home ecosystems and the Internet of Things (IoT), creating substantial headroom for automated electric mowing solutions.Proprietary DSA Technology Enables True Off‑Grid OperationSunScout’s core competitive advantage lies in its proprietary Deployable Solar Array (DSA) technology, which allows its robotic mowers to operate entirely on solar power, achieving genuine off‑grid performance without reliance on electrical outlets. Conventional gasoline‑powered mowers emit carbon emissions, and while existing electric mowers eliminate direct emissions, they remain dependent on fixed charging infrastructure, constraining operational range and flexibility.The DSA mechanism enables solar panels to automatically deploy when stationary, tripling the surface area to maximize solar‑energy capture for onboard battery charging; panels retract during movement to preserve maneuverability. This design supports fully solar‑dependent, zero‑emission autonomous mowing, augmented by autonomous navigation and AI‑powered obstacle avoidance capabilities.According to the company, few competing products can function completely independent of external power sources. This capability unlocks deployments at sites without power outlets or charging facilities—such as golf courses, public parks, and large‑scale green spaces—delivering meaningful advantages for continuous autonomous field operations. Over the longer term, DSA‑based hardware insulates operating costs from electricity‑price inflation and enables rollouts in regions with limited or unreliable grid infrastructure.SunScout also emphasizes that its technology platform is highly adaptable and platform‑agnostic, opening potential applications beyond lawn mowing, including agricultural robotics, onboard solar‑charging systems for electric vehicles, autonomous patrol robots, and other mobile machinery.Three‑Tier Product Lineup and Rapidly Expanding Global DistributionSunScout’s autonomous solar‑powered robotic mower portfolio comprises three modular models: the residential‑grade SunScout Eco, light‑commercial SunScout Pro, and large‑institutional‑focused SunScout ProMax. The modular architecture supports incremental upgrades without extensive redesign, facilitating efficient global deployment across diverse terrain and climate conditions.For example, the entry‑level SunScout Eco integrates high‑efficiency photovoltaic panels into the top housing, converting sunlight to supply all energy required for propulsion, cutting assemblies, and onboard electronics. The unit employs a multi‑sensor suite and AI‑enhanced dual‑camera visual navigation to map work zones, identify lawn boundaries and obstacles, and optimize mowing routes. For larger and more complex sites, RTK satellite navigation is available to deliver centimeter‑level positioning accuracy.On commercial‑channel development, SunScout has established distribution partnerships with Wrissmer Werkstattsysteme GmbH (WWS) in Europe and MowBot Limited in Australia and New Zealand, and is in active discussions regarding potential distribution cooperation with major retailers, including Walmart.Beyond robotic hardware, the company provides end‑to‑end solar power development solutions, including system design, installation, and full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for commercial, industrial, and institutional clients. Through its Brunton Engineering brand, it also offers engineering products and services leveraging nearly 30 years of precision‑fabrication and mechanical‑engineering expertise, and is an accredited supplier to the New Zealand Defence Force.On the manufacturing front, assembly is currently conducted via SunScout Asia in Thailand. The company is advancing the establishment of an assembly and distribution center in Austin, Texas, through its U.S. subsidiary, which will build domestic production capacity and support long‑term North American expansion, aligning with U.S. policy emphasis on domestic robotics and technology supply chains. Recent actions by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) restricting authorizations for certain foreign‑produced robotic products further underscore the growing importance of domestic manufacturing and supply‑chain resilience.Net proceeds from the offering are expected to be used primarily for: (i) construction of the Austin manufacturing facility; (ii) sales and marketing activities; (iii) product research and development; (iv) inventory procurement; (v) repayment of one loan; (vi) consideration for the acquisition of Brightway Energy LLC; and (vii) general working capital purposes.Against the backdrop of accelerating global clean‑energy transition and continued expansion of the robotic‑mower market, market participants will closely monitor whether SunScout can leverage its proprietary off‑grid solar‑robotics technology to differentiate itself amid intensifying industry competition.Note: This translation has been calibrated against the company’s registration statement on Form F‑1 (File No. 333‑295248), as declared effective by the SEC on August 11, 2026.

Mr. Wawruch is a senior geology and mineral resource consultant independent of Doubleview. Mr. Gilles Arseneau, PhD., P.Geo., of ARSENEAU Consulting Services Inc., provided an independent review of this MRE.Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014), and CIM MRMR Best Practice Guidelines (2019).The effective date of the MRE is February 4, 2026.Metal contents have been calculated using the following metallurgical recovery factors: Cu = 85%, Au = 89%, Co = 78%, and Ag = 68%.Economic assumptions used include US$4.80/lb Cu, US$20.00/lb Co, US$3,200/oz Au, US$46/oz Ag, and a 2% NSR royalty.Mineral Resources are reported within optimized open pit constraints and 0.2% CuEq cut-off grade, based on a C$7.93/t milled processing cost and C$2.90/t milled general and administrative cost, with a mining cost of C$3.01/t plus incremental mining cost increasing by C$0.015/t for every bench below the reference level of 1,125 mRL.CuEq calculations do not include scandium. The formula used to calculate CuEq is: CuEq = [(((Ag × 46.0 × 0.68)/31.1035) + ((Au × 3200 × 0.89)/31.1035) + 0.0001 × (Co × 20.0 × 0.78 × 22.0462) + 0.0001 × (Cu × 4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85))/(4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85)], where all input variables are expressed in (ppm) and CuEq is expressed in percent (%).Rounding may result in minor variations between individual values and totals; such differences are not considered material to the MRE.Mineral Resource classification reflects the level of geological confidence and satisfies the uncertainty criteria appropriate for exploration and resource development. Additional drilling will be required to reduce uncertainty to the level expected for production planning. The MRE reflects the geological interpretation, drill-hole spacing, and estimation parameters available at the time of modelling. Any additional drilling is expected to influence the current outcome by improving confidence in the estimates and refining the geometry of the mineralized domains.The Mineral Resource results are presented in situ within the optimized pit. Mineralized material outside the pit has not been considered as a part of the current MRE tabulation. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes, g/t).A total of 97 diamond drill holes, comprising 49,548 m of core, were incorporated into the Mineral Resource Estimate. All drilling data used in the MRE were subject to standard QA/QC validation prior to inclusion.The block model is defined relative to a model origin at UTM Zone 9N 346,750 E / 6,453,000 N / 0 (NAD 83). Parent blocks measure 15 × 15 × 15 m, totalling 136 × 150 × 75 blocks across extents of 2,040 m (X), 2,250 m (Y), and 1,125 m (Z). All volumes and estimates are constrained by these discretization parameters. 1 https://www.war.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/4566598/office-of-strategic-capital-signs-400-million-conditional-loan-commitment-with/To view the source version of this press release, please visit https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/309323 Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

ATLANTA, GA, Aug 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Haven Safety AI, the AI-powered workplace safety platform transforming how organizations investigate incidents and learn from operational risk, today announced the launch of HavenASSURE, an AI platform for investigation quality assurance. The launch coincides with the company's successful completion of its SOC 2 Type II attestation, reinforcing Haven Safety AI's position as a security-first partner for enterprise safety, risk management, and insurance organizations.HavenASSURE introduces a new approach to incident management by applying Haven's knowledge graphs and AI reasoning capabilities to the quality of completed investigations. It serves as an independent reviewer, identifying missing evidence, overlooked causal factors, weak root cause analysis, insufficient corrective actions, and opportunities to strengthen organizational learning before those findings become part of an organization's institutional knowledge.Designed for enterprise safety organizations, HavenASSURE also extends these capabilities to insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and claims organizations seeking to improve investigation quality, strengthen claims consistency, and identify emerging portfolio risks across large volumes of investigations."Organizations have invested heavily in digitizing incident reporting, but far less attention has been paid to the quality of the investigations themselves," said Joseph Hanna, CEO of Haven Safety AI. "For decades, investigation quality has been measured through audits, peer reviews, and sampling. HavenASSURE changes that by making every investigation reviewable, measurable, and continuously improvable. We believe investigation quality will become as important a safety metric as incident rates themselves."Organizations can use HavenASSURE to continuously improve investigation quality across internal teams, contractors, acquired businesses, historical incident records, and insurance claims, helping ensure every investigation meets a consistent standard before lessons are shared across the enterprise."The value of an incident investigation is determined not by whether it was completed, but by the quality of the conclusions it reaches. The quality of an investigation directly influences the effectiveness of corrective actions, organizational learning, and ultimately future safety performance. Giving organizations a consistent way to evaluate investigation quality represents an important advancement for the safety profession," said Dr. David Michaels, Former Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA and Advisor to Haven Safety AIBuilt for Enterprise TrustAs AI becomes embedded in safety-critical workflows, organizations increasingly expect enterprise-grade security, governance, and operational controls from their AI providers, particularly when investigations involve sensitive operational, legal, employee, and claims information.Haven Safety AI's successful SOC 2 Type II examination validates the effectiveness of the company's controls over an extended operating period, providing customers with additional confidence that their data is protected through mature security, availability, and operational practices."Haven was built from the beginning for enterprise environments," Hanna added. "Security, governance, explainability, and regulatory alignment are foundational to our platform, not capabilities added later. As organizations expand their use of AI across safety operations and claims management, they need partners that combine advanced reasoning with enterprise-grade controls."Expanding AI for Insurance and ClaimsWhile originally developed for workplace safety, HavenASSURE also introduces a new approach for insurance carriers and claims organizations. By automatically reviewing completed claims investigations, identifying inconsistencies or missing evidence, evaluating the quality of causal analysis, and surfacing emerging risk indicators across thousands of claims, HavenASSURE helps insurers improve claims quality, strengthen subrogation and litigation readiness, identify systemic loss drivers, and uncover trends that traditional quality assurance processes often miss.Beyond improving individual claims, HavenASSURE enables insurers to transform completed investigations into portfolio-wide operational intelligence, helping inform underwriting, risk engineering, customer loss prevention, and strategic advisory services through deeper insight into the underlying causes of loss.A Connected Platform for Continuous LearningHavenASSURE extends Haven Safety AI's platform, which supports organizations throughout the incident lifecycle, from frontline evidence collection and AI-assisted investigations to investigation quality assurance and enterprise learning.Together, these capabilities create a continuous learning system that captures richer evidence, conducts more consistent investigations, verifies investigation quality, and transforms every incident into trusted organizational knowledge. The result is stronger corrective actions, earlier identification of systemic risks, and an enterprise safety program that becomes smarter with every investigation.About Haven Safety AIHaven Safety AI is an AI-native workplace safety platform that helps organizations investigate incidents faster, improve investigation quality, and accelerate organizational learning.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, August 11, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) today hosted its flagship overseas promotion, Think Business, Think Hong Kong (TBTHK), in Kuala Lumpur, offering Malaysian business leaders direct access to government officials, investors, founders, innovators and professional service providers.The symposium brought together some 1,600 business leaders from Hong Kong and Malaysia for a day of dialogue, networking, business matching and one-on-one consultations. Among them are over 200 government and business leaders, start-up entrepreneurs and professional service providers from Hong Kong, marking a historic high. During the event, over 300 tailored business matching meetings were lined up to help Malaysian companies find the right Hong Kong partners to expand internationally.As businesses navigate shifting global trade dynamics and seek more resilient pathways for international growth, the symposium offered vast opportunities for Malaysian businesses to access capital, diversify their business networks, establish cross-border partnerships and expand into the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), the wider Chinese Mainland and global markets through Hong Kong.The opening ceremony was officiated by Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of HKTDC, together with The Honourable Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the Hong Kong SAR Government, and YB Loke Siew Fook, Malaysia's Minister of Transport.In his welcome remarks, Prof Ma said: “Especially at times like these – when businesses are navigating geopolitical uncertainty, evolving supply chains and rapid advances in technology – trusted connections and strong networks are more valuable than ever. First launched in 2011 and held in major cities all around the world, TBTHK has proven to be popular and successful. It is a platform via which networks are expanded, relationships are deepened and new partnerships are forged. Today’s symposium is a timely opportunity to build on the close ties that we have all benefitted from – in so many different and rewarding ways – over the years.”In his opening remarks, Mr Yau said: “For Malaysian companies, the Chinese Mainland is for no doubt a huge market not to be missed. Especially at times like this, everyone is talking about diversification. Apart from strengthening your operations in the local market, it is always good to tap the potentials from overseas markets, including the Chinese Mainland. Hong Kong has the knowhow and expertise to help Malaysian companies to navigate the Chinese Mainland markets. We have been doing it for a long time, and we are good at it. The other way around, we are also supporting Chinese Mainland enterprises to go overseas via Hong Kong. We established the GoGlobal Task Force (Task Force on Supporting Mainland Enterprises in Going Global) last year to provide one-stop, customised support services to facilitate outbound direct investment into overseas markets, including Malaysia and beyond.”In his special remarks, Mr Loke said connectivity Is the precondition for movement of capital and people, with Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong being under four hours flight apart and sharing the same time zone.“The same logic governs freight. Hong Kong International Airport is among the busiest cargo gateways in the world, while Port Klang sits on one of the most heavily used shipping lanes globally. Malaysia's exports are increasingly electronics, semiconductors and other high-value goods that are time-sensitive and travel by air. Therefore, Hong Kong's depth in logistics, trade finance, arbitration and professional services is the natural complement to that. If your business depends on moving a product from a Malaysian factory to a customer anywhere in Asia, Europe or North America quickly and with the documentation in order, this is a corridor you should be examining closely,” he said.Mr Loke also pointed out that Malaysia wants more events of TBTHK’s calibre to be held in the country, to facilitate business discussions, networking and build foundations for future collaborations.Opening new growth pathways for Malaysian businessesThe programme featured a flagship plenary session chaired by Lincoln Pan, Chief Executive Officer of Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited, with heavyweight speakers, including Bonnie Y Chan, Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, Tan Sri Dato’ David Chiu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Far East Consortium International Limited, Daniel R Fung, Senior Counsel, Des Voeux Chambers; Founding Chairman, ASEAN Chamber of Commerce (Hong Kong); Vice Chairman, Financial Services Development Council, Datuk Wira Song Hoi See, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Plaza Premium Group; Chairman, Malaysian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong and Macau, and Thomas Tsao, Co-founder and Chair of Gobi Partners, who discussed Asia's evolving business landscape and how companies can position themselves to capture emerging regional opportunities.Reflecting Malaysia's growing strategic importance in ASEAN and the evolving priorities of businesses across the region, four thematic sessions explored key areas of collaboration between Hong Kong and Malaysia.The Capturing RMB Opportunities in Trade, Financing and Investment – Hong Kong’s Strategic Role session, co-organised with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, explored the growing role of the Renminbi in trade, investment and treasury management. Speakers discussed how Malaysian businesses can leverage Hong Kong's position as the world's leading offshore RMB hub to support regional and Chinese Mainland expansion.The GreenBiz Hong Kong: Driving the Green Transition with Green Finance, Innovation and Cross-Border Collaboration session, supported by the Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, examined how sustainable growth can be achieved. Participants highlighted opportunities in green finance, climate technology and data-driven solutions as well as Hong Kong's role in connecting green capital and innovation across the region.Following the luncheon, the Strategic Resilience: Capitalising on Hong Kong as a Base for Regional Expansion session, co-organised with Invest Hong Kong, explored how companies can strengthen regional expansion strategies amid a changing global business landscape.

Saint Bella Group has delivered concurrent improvements on both fronts.Normalizing the Base: Underlying Operating PowerThe statutory net profit figure warrants context. Statutory net profit is expected to be at least RMB 53.4million, compared to RMB 326.9 million in H1 2025. This variance bears no relation to operational health. In H1 2025, the Group recognized a one-off, non-cash fair value gain of RMB 318.2 million on pre-IPO financial instruments. Following its listing on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, these instruments were fully converted into ordinary shares, eliminating further fair value adjustments.Adjusted net profit is therefore the true measure of year-on-year performance. The elevated 2025 base was an accounting event; this year’s growth reflects core operating capability. As a company that listed in 2025, this marks the first reporting period where Saint Bella's core earnings power is presented cleanly to the market.A Reinforced Core BusinessPostpartum care centers remain the Group's core business and revenue anchor. The alert demonstrates steady improvements in brand premium and average spend per customer. In an industry highly dependent on word-of-mouth and localized execution, core business stability provides the primary foundation for expansion.Deepening core capabilities also serves as an efficient client acquisition strategy for downstream services. The trust built during a client's postpartum stay is an asset that is difficult to replicate, enabling Saint Bella to cross-sell adjacent services far more cost-effectively than acquiring cold traffic.Expanding the Lifetime Value: From 28 Days to Full-Cycle Family CareWhile a standard postpartum stay lasts 28 days, customer needs extend far beyond. During the period, Saint Bella's adjacent business lines—postpartum recovery care (STB Institute), home-based nursing (PrimeCare), and health nutrition (Guang He Tang)—all demonstrated strong growth:- Guang He Tang: Positions itself as a full-cycle Chinese nutritional brand for women, spanning pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause.- STB Institute: Delivers specialist care for expectant/new mothers and women's long-term wellness, reinforcing offline touchpoints and brand positioning.- PrimeCare: Introduced an age-tiered childcare program tailored for infants across developmental stages, extending customer engagement into early childhood.None of these extension businesses require acquiring clients from scratch; they scale on the existing customer base, systematically improving the Group's overall revenue mix.Twin Growth Engines: Organic Network Expansion & Strategic M&A- Organic Growth: Saint Bella continued expanding into new Chinese cities throughout H1 2026. Internationally, the opening of its first Baby Bella store in Singapore in April marked a shift from single-brand internationalization to a coordinated, multi-brand global strategy.- Strategic Acquisition: On 22 June 2026, the Group acquired Freya, a leading maternal and infant care brand in Wuhan with 13 years of local presence. Freya operates three standalone centers in prime districts (including a flagship 15,000 sq. m. facility with 160+ suites). This transaction doubles Saint Bella’s directly operated center count and capacity in central China while enhancing its standalone operational capabilities. Because the deal closed near period-end, its financial contributions will begin reflecting in H2 2026.AI-Driven Operational EfficiencySupported by refined management systems, Saint Bella’s selling and administrative expense ratios declined year-on-year. Dr. Bella, the Group’s proprietary domain-specific large language model, was integrated into in-centre operations and home-based services, boosting workforce productivity. Commercialization of its AI agent business also achieved its first revenue breakthrough. Technology continues to serve as an efficiency driver, helping optimize cost structures as operations scale.Share Buybacks & Full-Year OutlookSaint Bella Group has conducted regular share repurchases, reinforcing management’s confidence in the company’s intrinsic value and enhancing earnings per share (EPS). Looking ahead, the Group will continue executing its dual strategy of deepening core business capabilities and driving organic/inorganic network expansion across domestic and international markets.
