First Half of 2025 Financial and Operating Highlights HybriU’s net revenues reached $1.2 million in the first half of 2025, compared with no net revenues in the first half of 2024. Established HybriU partnerships with two leading U.S. higher education institutions, Colorado State University and University of the West, to elevate the phygital learning experience for students and faculty. Broadened the HybriU platform's addressable market by launching a series of new HybriU products for corporate applications, including HybriU Conferencing and HybriU Knowledge Capture. Introduced the HybriU Global Learning Network (HGLN) in July to connect U.S. institutions with students worldwide, scale enrollment and provide localized academic and enrollment support. “In the first half of 2025, we grew our top-line, expanded margins and improved our profitability, all driven by the increasing adoption of our HybriU platform,” said Dr. Jin Huang, Ambow’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and acting Chief Financial Officer. “Our results reflect the strength of our business model and our disciplined approach to managing resources. With $11.3 million in cash resources and HybriU's growing footprint, we’re well-positioned to meet rising demand for hybrid learning and enterprise solutions across borders. In the months ahead, we plan to roll out new HybriU products designed to help universities and global businesses improve engagement and outcomes. With our comprehensive HybriU platform and expanding partnerships, HybriU is helping reshape how people learn and work together, transcending geographic limitations with cutting-edge AI. Looking forward, we remain focused on growing HybriU's impact and building long-term value for all of our stakeholders,” Dr. Huang concluded.
