- H1 2025 Net Revenues Increased 34.4% to RMB17.7 million - H1 2025 Gross Profit Increased 551.5% to RMB8.4 million - Cash and Cash Equivalents of RMB22.7 million as of June 30, 2025 Positioned to Take Advantage of Increasing Demand for Green and Sustainable Transportation Solutions , /PRNewswire/ -- U Power Limited (Nasdaq: UCAR) (the "Company" or "U Power"), a provider of AI-powered solutions for next-generation energy grids and intelligent transportation systems, building on its proprietary UOTTATM electric vehicle (EV) battery-swapping technology, today announced its interim unaudited financial results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 ("H1 2025").[1] Johnny Lee, CEO and Chairman of U Power commented on the H1 2025 results, "Our first-half 2025 financial performance reflects strategic progress and operational execution, marked by a 34.4% year-over-year increase in revenues and improvement in gross profit. These results underscore the growing demand for our innovative solutions and the strength of our business model, as we continue to serve both domestic and international customers. A key highlight of this period is the increasingly international composition of our customer base. This shift is no coincidence, it is the direct outcome of our strategic blueprint and deliberate efforts to expand globally, enhance brand visibility, and offer value-driven services in overseas markets since 2023. The adoption of our quick, easy, and efficient battery replenishment solutions for commercial vehicles across new geographic regions reflects the acceptance of our technology and supports our long-term vision, which was reinforced by partnerships with international enterprises such as SUSCO, SAIC Motor-CP, and SMAS that share our commitment to advancing sustainable mobility." Commenting on growth strategy and outlook for 2025 and beyond, Mr. Lee added, "As we look toward the second half of 2025 and beyond, we are energized by the positive momentum driving our transformation into a comprehensive provider of sustainable mobility and energy solutions. Our recent deliveries of next-generation intelligent stations, along with prospective orders in Hong Kong SAR and Thailand, demonstrate how our AI-powered, carbon-reducing technologies may be utilized in urban transportation infrastructure. Hong Kong SAR and Thailand represent two of our high-priority markets, and we are eager to accelerate their long-term development with the anticipated rollout of more stations and compatible vehicles. In parallel, we are actively deepening our ecosystem through strategic partnerships aimed at expanding the deployment of battery-swapping compatible vehicles and station networks. Our proprietary and replicable Energy Service Provider (ESP) model plays a crucial role in enabling this expansion, supporting both service scalability and geographic reach across our priority markets by combining local sales, operations and financial support. We anticipate that the traction we are getting will contribute to our growth for the remainder of 2025 and 2026. Beyond mobility, we are also embracing the future through our engagement with Web3.0 initiatives, including Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization and battery bank solutions. We expect these forward-looking projects to position U Power at the intersection of clean energy and digital innovation, creating new opportunities for growth and market differentiation in pioneering Web3 applications and infrastructure within the EV battery swapping sector. The global ecosystem we are building is not only scalable, but also resilient and future-ready. We believe that the agreements and partnerships announced to date will begin delivering tangible revenue contributions in the second half of 2025. We remain unwavering in our commitment to driving the global transition to green and sustainable transportation. At U Power, we are not just adapting to change, we are helping to lead it."

H1 2025 Financial Review Total net revenues for H1 2025 were RMB17.7 million (or $2.5 million), representing an increase of 34.4% from RMB13.2 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 ("H1 2024"), primarily due to increased revenues from sales of battery-swapping stations, sourcing services, and battery swapping services. Specifically: Net revenues from sales of battery swapping stations of RMB13.9 million (or $1.9 million) increased 12.2% during H1 2025 as compared to RMB12.4 million in H1 2024 and accounted for 78.4% of total net revenues. The increase was mainly attributable to overseas market expansion during the period. Net revenues from sourcing services of RMB2.8 million (or $0.4 million) substantially increased during H1 2025 as compared to RMB0.08 million in H1 2024 and accounted for 15.9% of total net revenues. The increase was primarily a result of the battery-swapping vehicle fleet delivered to the Thailand market in H1 2025. Net revenues from battery swapping services of RMB1.0 million (or $0.14 million) increased 40.2% during H1 2025 as compared to RMB0.7 million in H1 2024 and accounted for 5.7% of total net revenues. The increase was a result of increased number of battery swapping vehicles in use during the period. Gross profit for H1 2025 was RMB8.4 million (or $1.2 million), representing a significant increase of 551.5% from RMB1.3 million during H1 2024, mainly due to increased revenues and profits associated with overseas sales of battery swapping stations. Similarly, gross margin significantly improved to 47.3% during H1 2025, compared to 9.8% during H1 2024, mainly due to increased revenues and gross profit. Total operating expenses for H1 2025 were RMB25.9 million (or $3.6 million), representing a decrease of 6.6% from RMB27.7 million in H1 2024. The decrease was mainly a result of RMB3.9 million recorded allowance for expected credit losses and RMB1.6 million lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by increased research and development expenses and selling expenses. Specifically, for H1 2025: General and administrative expenses of RMB24.6 million (or $3.4 million) decreased by RMB1.6 million as compared to H1 2024, mainly as a result of streamlined operations in project management during the period. Research and development expenses of RMB3.4 million (or $0.5 million) increased by RMB2.8 million as compared to H1 2024, primarily due to increased research investments to support technological compatibility of EVs during international expansion. Selling expenses of RMB1.8 million (or $0.2 million) increased by RMB0.3 million as compared to H1 2024, primarily due to higher overseas marketing expenses. Net loss was RMB27.4 million (or $3.8 million), compared to net loss of RMB26.5 million in H1 2024. Basic and diluted losses per common share were RMB5.8 (or $0.81), compared to RMB7.4 during H1 2024. Cash and cash equivalents were RMB22.7 million ($3.2 million) as of June 30, 2025, compared to RMB23.4 million as of December 31, 2024. Working capital was RMB77.3 million ($10.8 million) as of June 30, 2025, compared to RMB48.2 million as of December 31, 2024. Total assets were RMB396.0 million ($55.3 million) as of June 30, 2025, compared to RMB385.7 million as of December 31, 2024. Total liabilities were RMB69.1 million ($9.6 million), compared to RMB64.7 million as of December 31, 2024. Total shareholders' equity was RMB302.9 million ($42.3 million), compared to RMB291.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
