The Sales Cloud represents the Group's business segment focused on the second growth trajectory, dedicated to facilitating the digital and intelligent transformation of the entire marketing chain for consumer goods enterprises through the empowerment of AI and CRM, thereby supporting the enterprises in achieving intelligent growth. During the Reporting Period, Sales Cloud continued to promote the solution model of "consultation-driven solution + standard products + advanced aPaaS platform", striving to optimise client business processes from top to bottom, helping clients better implement digital and intelligent solutions while also enhancing our own product commercial value. The core product of Sales Cloud, Smart Sales 100, strengthened its original product functions and updated its UI to optimise user experience during the Reporting Period.

In addition, Smart U-Client under the Sales Cloud, which focuses on the durable consumer goods industry, underwent a comprehensive version upgrade based on Huawei's Ascend AI ecosystem and DeepSeek large model. In the meantime, Smart U-Client also released multi-language versions to help enterprises improve marketing efficiency and expand their business scope globally.

In terms of AI products, during the Reporting Period, based on Xuan Wu Cloud's self-developed Xuan Tao large model, which is specialised in the consumer goods industry, as well as open-source large models like DeepSeek, the Group continued to explore the needs of consumer goods terminal business scenarios. The Group launched the SKU super model that offers insights into the dynamics of beverage, liquor, and other industry terminal scenarios, as well as the industry's only marketing vertical model for the milk powder industry — the anti-cheating and retouch detection model, known as"AI Retouch Detective". In addition, the Group has added new features such as empty space detection and layered detection for terminal displays to our AI standard products, bringing the total number of standard products to 12. In the exploration of AI agent development, Xuan Wu Cloud has built multiple AI agents based on the aPaaS platform (a low-code platform). These agents serve as"development assistants"for enterprises to develop new business functions internally, and as "market research assistants"to help clients gain insights into market demands at the terminal. Additionally, to meet enterprises' needs for efficiency management of salespeople, the Group can provide a "voice operation assistant" to help enterprises achieve their management goals. Furthermore, the Group's business assistant "Smart Xiaoxuan" created by Smart U-Client has also been successfully implemented for clients.

Based on the above measures, during the reporting period, the Group's sales cloud achieved revenue of RMB 28.6 million, with a significant increase in gross profit margin. At the same time, the Group's annual recurring revenue (ARR) of the Sales Cloud accounts for 62.9% of Sales Cloud revenue, representing a year-over-year increase of 12.4 percentage points compared with the same period last year.

Additionally, the Service Cloud has integrated open-source large models like DeepSeek, developed a speech configuration robot, and successfully implemented it for clients. This product can help clients reduce 90% of their workload in speech configuration, significantly enhancing their overall work efficiency. Based on this, the Service Cloud achieved revenue of RMB26.6 million during the Reporting Period, representing a year-over-year increase of 71.7%.

While maintaining steady development in the Group's own business, Xuan Wu Cloud was also actively building an ecosystem of domestic resources and channels. During the Reporting Period, the Group's overseas service areas have expanded to include numerous countries and regions in Southeast Asia, Latin America, East Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. The Group has also forged direct resource cooperation with telecommunications operators in South Korea, Thailand and other countries, laying a solid foundation for the localisation of its overseas business operations. Domestically, the Group reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Tencent Cloud, and both parties will collaborate in areas such as AI products and services, cloud communication, and smart retail. Furthermore, the Group's data-related products were listed on the Guangzhou and Shenzhen data exchanges during the Reporting Period, thereby further expanding the sales channels for data-related products.

Focusing on standard products and AI innovation, and anchoring the business goal of profitability improvement

Regarding developments in the second half of 2025, Xuan Wu Cloud stated in its announcement that the Group will continue to deepen the development goals of "product standardization, refined management, and business globalization", prioritizing profits and achieving high-quality development.

In terms of core smart CRM products, the Group will enrich standardised components of core products to enhance profit margins, and will focus on improving the standardisation of core products across various business lines. By identifying common requirements in project delivery for different clients, the Group aims to develop more standardised product components. Coupled with standardised delivery processes, this will enable us to continuously optimise delivery cycles, reduce project costs, and increase profit margins. Simultaneously, based on the actual needs of client business scenarios, the Group will continue to enrich its AI standard product matrix, striving to achieve rapid product deployment.

In terms of AI innovation, the Group will strengthen the market expansion and operational efforts for key products such as the SKU super model and"AI Retouch Detective", striving to make them flagship AI products of the Group. While consolidating the technological application in the AI+mass consumption sector, based on the Group's customer resource advantages in the financial industry, the Group will also develop AI product applications for the financial industry in the second half of the year, including intelligent agent development, optimisation and upgrading of intelligent customer service, digital avatars, etc., thereby further deepening its cooperative relationship with clients.

In terms of ecology, given the market changes and challenges faced in the first half of the year, the Group will persist in continuously building its own ecosystems, maintaining closer ties with upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain. In the second half of the year, the Group will continue to strengthen interactions and cooperation with telecom operators, cloud service providers, and business partners, with the aim of achieving a more stable overall development for the Group. Additionally, the Group plans to implement localised operations in some overseas regions, deepen cooperation with resource providers, and further expand client base.
