Mr. Zhang Zhengyu, Chairman and CEO of Lianlian DigiTech, said, "We made solid progress across three growth pillars in H1 2026. Our AI-Native + Globalization strategy drove product delivery, with the launch of multiple AI products and key breakthroughs in Agentic Payment. We also expanded our ecosystem and deepened our presence across the fintech and AI value chains."

Ms. Wen Yingse, CFO of Lianlian, stated that the Company delivered solid results. "Revenue and gross profit both grew approximately 11.9% year-over-year, adjusted operating profit more than doubled, and our combined expense ratio fell by 8.4 percentage points. Looking ahead, we'll focus on core business growth, deepen AI integration across operations, and expand ecosystem partnerships prudently."

In its global payment business, Lianlian accelerated intelligent payment capabilities by embedding AI into operational processes, while focusing on high-value enterprise clients and expanding services across B2B trade and service trade.

In the domestic payment sector, Lianlian proactively adjusted resource allocation by deprioritizing lower-contributing transaction categories.

In value-added services, it deepened the integration of payment capabilities across commercial scenarios, driving demand for value-added services such as virtual bank cards and intelligent marketing.

During the period, Lianlian translated its AI-Native + Globalization strategy into concrete products, introducing Agent Wallet as intelligent payment infrastructure for the agent era, while enterprise-grade agent platforms further strengthened its intelligent service system.

Looking ahead, Lianlian will continue to execute its AI-Native + Globalization strategy, deepen its global footprint, and empower Chinese enterprises for high-quality global expansion.
