Summary of Annual Performance
- Turnaround to Profit: Voicecomm Technology reported a dramatic turnaround in its financial results, shifting from a net loss of RMB481.5 million in 2024 to a net profit of RMB140.2 million in 2025. This change was primarily due to the reclassification of redeemable capital contributions from financial liabilities to equity following the successful listing and global offering. This event eliminated a significant non-cash expense that had previously weighed on results.

- Gross Profit Margin Improvement: The gross profit margin rose to 54.7% from 54.2%, with gross profit up 8.0% to RMB551.2 million, attributable to revenue growth and cost discipline.
- Research & Development (R&D) Investment: R&D expenses surged 67.7% to RMB224.3 million, driven by higher depreciation and amortisation of servers and software, and increased outsourced services. This signals a strong commitment to technology innovation and long-term growth.

- Other Revenue: Other revenue rose 23.6% to RMB13.5 million, mainly due to a RMB11.5 million tax refund.
