Published

on

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 March 2026 – SenseTime (the “Company”; Stock Code: 0020) announced its annual results for 2025. For the full year, total revenue rose 33% year-on-year to more than RMB 5 billion, reaching a new record high and marking the fastest growth in three years. Net loss narrowed by 58.6% year-on-year, while adjusted net loss declined for a fourth consecutive half‑year period, with the pace of year‑on‑year reduction accelerating.

SenseCore has since become a core partner of leading research institutes, Internet giants, pan-entertainment groups, embodied-intelligence robotics firms and large-model unicorns, and has also launched China’s first overseas Chinese-led computing cluster in Saudi Arabia.

As of the release of this result announcement, the total operational computing scale of SenseCore had reached 40,400 PetaFLOPS (FP16).

CV 2.0 records firstever net profit and positive cash flow; “X” Businesses gains strong recognition from external investors

SenseTime’s Computer Vision (CV; Visual AI) business is transitioning from a technology investment phase into a period of large-scale commercial returns. During the reporting period, CV 2.0 achieved profitability for the first time and generated positive cash flow for a second consecutive year, emerging as a key driver of the Company’s revenue growth and cash-flow improvement. SenseTime has maintained the leading position in China’s CV market for nine consecutive years. Internationally, clients across Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia and the Middle East continued to repurchase CV products and services, while interest increased from clients in South America, Europe and other regions, forming a replicable, scalable “Chinnovation” model for global expansion.

In 2025, SenseTime firmly advanced its “1+X” strategy, establishing a highly efficient collaborative system in which the core platform (the Company) provides foundational capabilities, while ecosystem partners compete and scale within targeted verticals. This marked a strategic shift from standalone business expansion towards the multiplication of ecosystem-wide value. Ecosystem enterprises incubated by SenseTime made steady progress in financing during the year, attracting strong interest from external investors including Internet giants, leading venture capital firms and industrial funds. Notably, the edge AI chip and intelligent driving business successfully completed financing rounds and were subsequently spun off to operate independently.

Looking ahead to 2026, the Company believes it is well positioned to compete in the critical phase of the global AI industry. It will continue to deepen its native multimodal architecture, reinforcing its global leadership in the integration of native multimodal large models and spatial intelligence. Meanwhile, the Company plans to capitalize on opportunities in the merging agentic AI market, targeting rapid growth in both user scale and commercial value. The Company will also accelerate the adaptation of domestic Chinese chips, further reduce large-model inference costs, and enhance product competitiveness through superior cost-performance. Within its Visual AI business, it will leverage both domestic and international growth engines to drive large-scale expansion and establish a global benchmark for intelligent industries. In parallel, the Company will continue to advance its “1+X” strategy to capture incremental returns arising from the accelerating intelligent transformation of vertical industries.

“This not only demonstrates the HKSAR’s capability in contributing to the country’s development into an aerospace power, but also showcases how Hong Kong could better integrate into and serve the overall national development,” Mr Lee said.

“This mission is of great significance, as it is not only the first manned spaceflight mission during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, but also the first time for a payload expert from the HKSAR to participate in it.”

The Shenzhou-23 crew will conduct on-orbit rotation with the Shenzhou-21 crew. The crew, including Dr Lai, will stay in the space station and conduct multiple experiments and applications in various fields such as scientific applications.

The Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of the HKSAR Government, Professor Sun Dong, led a delegation to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to witness this historic moment. Members of the delegation included other government representatives, I&T experts, youths and students.

“I truly believe this is a great demonstration of Hong Kong integrating into and serving the overall national development through concrete actions, while contributing our strength in I&T,” Professor Sun said.

” ‘Science and technology is primary productive force, talent is primary resource, and innovation is primary driver of growth.’ The HKSAR Government will continue to drive the development of I&T, accelerate the establishment of an international I&T centre, and make greater contributions to building our nation into a strong power in science, technology, and aerospace.”

Commissioner for Innovation and Technology of the HKSAR Government, Mr Ivan Lee, said that the Government had been providing funding support for universities and research institutions in conducting aerospace technology-related projects through the Innovation and Technology Fund.

“In 2024, we launched a special call for funding applications, inviting universities to submit project proposals related to aerospace technology. Following a selection process, we supported six projects. Among them was the Multi‑Spectral Imaging Carbon Observatory (MUSICO) developed by a team from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,” he said.

On the Tiangong Space Station, Dr Lai will conduct experiments including operating the MUSICO — the world’s first lightweight, high-resolution synergistic observatory for carbon dioxide and methane emission point sources.
