HONG KONG, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RoboSense Technology Co., Ltd. ("RoboSense" or the "Company"; Stock Code: 2498.HK), a pioneering AI-driven robotics technology company, announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025, underlining robust performance driven by its dual-engine strategy of ADAS and robotics.

In 2025, the Company's performance significantly exceeded expectations, achieving its first-ever quarterly profitability, with net profit reaching approximately RMB 104 million in Q4 2025. This milestone was primarily driven in large part by the strong momentum of the robotics business, which delivered approximately 303,000 units for the year, ranking No. 1 globally. Looking ahead, the Company will adopt a dual-engine strategy across ADAS and Robotics to sustain strong growth in 2026. To support this trajectory, the Company plans to expand production capacity of four million units in 2026.

Mark Qiu, CEO and Executive Director of RoboSense, remarks that "We are thrilled to announce that in the fourth quarter of 2025, RoboSense achieved its first-ever quarterly profit since inception, marking a clear inflection point in our operations. In 2025, we led the industry into the digital era of LiDAR, and our technological breakthroughs, market expansion, and mass production readiness collectively enabled full-spectrum leadership across ADAS, Robotaxi, and the broader robotics sector. The robotics business delivered 303,000 units for the year, ranking No. 1 globally, with performance significantly exceeding expectations. We are confident in sustaining this momentum through consistent performance and translating it into tangible results in 2026 and beyond. Our strategic direction is clear: RoboSense is a robotics company. We will continue to expand the boundaries of Physical AI, further consolidate our core competitive advantage through proprietary chipsets, which lay the foundation for our generational-lead product offerings. Our ultimate vision is to make LiDAR a ubiquitous category, as essential and ever-present as the common camera".

Financial Highlights

In the fourth quarter, the Company achieved total revenue of approximately RMB 751 million, a year-over-year increase of 46.1%; an operating profit of approximately RMB 130 million, and a net profit of approximately RMB 104 million, marking its first-ever profitable quarter. Meanwhile, the robotics business experienced explosive growth, with quarterly sales reaching approximately 221,200 units — a robust year-over-year increase of 2,565.1%.

RoboSense Beat Expectations, Achieved First-Ever Quarterly Profit on Strong Robotics Growth

SHANGHAI, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Biomethanol from Shanghai Electric's Taonan project has been successfully bunkered onto the container vessel CMA CGM OSMIUM at Shanghai's Yangshan Port this month. The operation marks the first large-scale adoption of Chinese biomethanol by a global shipping leader, underscoring Shanghai Electric's expanding of its presence in green hydrogen and next-generation fuel technologies.

Coordinated by Shanghai International Port Group from March 5 to 6, the bunkering operation was completed through a simultaneous loading and bunkering model that enables efficient coordination between cargo handling and fuel supply.

The recipient vessel, a next‑generation methanol‑dual‑fuel container ship owned by the CMA CGM Group, was fueled with biomethanol produced by Shanghai Electric, validating the company's fully integrated supply chain model spanning biomethanol production, land‑sea intermodal logistics, and port‑side bunkering.

Shanghai Electric's Taonan project is China's first large-scale commercial biomethanol facility. Located in western Jilin Province, it leverages the region's abundant wind, solar, and biomass resources. The initiative integrates proprietary technologies, including oxygen‑blown pressurized biomass gasification, flexible wind‑powered hydrogen production, and CO₂‑rich syngas‑to‑methanol synthesis, to create a fully integrated biomethanol production system.

Compared with conventional coal‑based methanol, biomethanol delivers a significant reduction in full‑life‑cycle carbon emissions, offering concrete progress toward maritime decarbonization goals. It provides the global shipping industry with a reliable green fuel option, supporting the transition to low‑ and zero‑carbon operations.

This integrated "green power–green hydrogen–green methanol" system addresses local renewable energy consumption and biomass utilization, while offering the shipping industry a stable, efficient, and sustainable low‑carbon fuel. Following systematic optimization, the Taonan facility now operates continuously, producing biomethanol that meets international marine fuel standards and holds International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC EU). The initial phase has an annual output of 50,000 tons, with plans for further expansion.

"The successful bunkering marks a breakthrough for Shanghai Electric in the fields of green hydrogen and next‑generation fuels. Moving forward, Shanghai Electric will continue to deepen its R&D and industrial application of biomethanol technology, strengthening collaboration with global shipping and port operators. With independently developed core technologies and full‑chain solutions, we are committed to contributing solid momentum to the global energy transition and pursuing carbon neutrality in the maritime industry," a Shanghai Electric representative said.
