Bulletin Express
Sep 21

ROBOTPHOENIX (Robotphoenix Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.) reported a 58.0% year-on-year surge in first-half 2026 revenue to RMB 186.14 million, driven by a 132.5% jump in robot body sales, which now represent 41.9% of the top line versus 28.5% a year earlier.

Gross profit rose 62.5% to RMB 44.19 million, and gross margin edged up to 23.7% from 23.1%. Nonetheless, aggressive investment in product development and international expansion widened the interim net loss by 40.6% to RMB 107.68 million. Adjusted net loss (excluding share-based payments and listing expenses) increased 53.9% to RMB 75.69 million.

Key operating metrics underscore the company’s dual focus on scaling hardware volumes and solution sales:

• Segment mix: Robotics solutions contributed 58.1% of revenue (RMB 108.11 million), while robot bodies—led by parallel, mobile, and SCARA units—added RMB 78.03 million. • Market diversification: Automotive components & new energy revenue more than tripled to RMB 67.77 million, overtaking consumer electronics (RMB 61.27 million). • Overseas traction: International sales climbed 318.5% to RMB 22.57 million, accounting for 12.1% of total revenue, supported by new distributors in South Korea and other regions. • Customer base: Total clients reached 373, up 33.2% year on year, with 48 new distributors and 230 new direct customers onboarded.

Spending intensity rose sharply. R&D expenses doubled to RMB 52.03 million, equivalent to 27.9% of revenue, reflecting ongoing work on integrated control cabinets, high-payload parallel robots, mobile platforms, and the second-generation HOGENE wheeled dual-arm robot. Selling and marketing costs grew 27.5% to RMB 29.73 million, while administrative expenses jumped 44.0% to RMB 58.30 million due to listing-related fees and senior hires.

The May 2026 Hong Kong IPO injected net proceeds of HK$672.90 million (about RMB 618.40 million), boosting cash and cash equivalents to RMB 605.03 million at 30 June 2026 from RMB 51.12 million at year-end 2025. Total assets almost doubled to RMB 1.29 billion, and the asset-liability ratio improved to 45.6% from 71.9%, while interest-bearing debt stood at RMB 258.64 million.

Looking ahead, management reaffirmed a strategy centered on full-stack technology development, accelerated commercialization of embodied-intelligence robots, and continued global market penetration, particularly in Southeast Asia, East Asia, Latin America, and Europe. No interim dividend was declared.
