Revenue Grows Rapidly with Year-on-Year Increase in Net Profit Margin<\/i><\/p>\n

BEIJING<\/span><\/span>, Aug. 28, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Bairong Inc. (the “Company”, “we” , “us” or “our” ; HKEX: 6608), a leading cloud-based AI turnkey service provider, today announced the interim results of the Group for the six months ended June 30, 2025<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Mr. Zhang Shaofeng, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, commented:
“In the first half of 2025, the Company achieved a year-on-year revenue growth of 22% while maintaining sustained profitability. The revenue of our MaaS business increased by 19% year-on-year. Our BaaS business also achieved rapid growth, especially the revenue of the BaaS financial industry cloud driven by generative AI, which surged by 45% year-on-year. Our gross profit remained strong at over 70% while non-IFRS profit for the period reached 254 million, with a non-IFRS net profit margin of 16%. This demonstrates that our investments in the AI business have not only brought first-mover advantages but also achieved meaningful economies of scale. In terms of technology and products, relying on the intelligent voice product VoiceGPT and the Bairong enterprise-level intelligent agent platform CybotStar, we have deeply integrated our cross-industry AI capabilities into high-potential sectors such as telecom operators, medical care, and large-scale retail. Notably, the commercialization of the Bairong CybotStar enterprise-level intelligent agent platform has been commercialized.”<\/p>\n

Revenue Grows Rapidly with Year-on-Year Increase in Net Profit Margin<\/i><\/p>\n

BEIJING<\/span><\/span>, Aug. 28, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Bairong Inc. (the “Company”, “we” , “us” or “our” ; HKEX: 6608), a leading cloud-based AI turnkey service provider, today announced the interim results of the Group for the six months ended June 30, 2025<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Mr. Zhang Shaofeng, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, commented:
“In the first half of 2025, the Company achieved a year-on-year revenue growth of 22% while maintaining sustained profitability. The revenue of our MaaS business increased by 19% year-on-year. Our BaaS business also achieved rapid growth, especially the revenue of the BaaS financial industry cloud driven by generative AI, which surged by 45% year-on-year. Our gross profit remained strong at over 70% while non-IFRS profit for the period reached 254 million, with a non-IFRS net profit margin of 16%. This demonstrates that our investments in the AI business have not only brought first-mover advantages but also achieved meaningful economies of scale. In terms of technology and products, relying on the intelligent voice product VoiceGPT and the Bairong enterprise-level intelligent agent platform CybotStar, we have deeply integrated our cross-industry AI capabilities into high-potential sectors such as telecom operators, medical care, and large-scale retail. Notably, the commercialization of the Bairong CybotStar enterprise-level intelligent agent platform has been commercialized.”<\/p>\n
