Revenue from the digital intelligence-driven operation business was approximately RMB408 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 8.8% which was mainly driven by cost reductions from operators, but with continued growth in the non-telecommunications industry.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 August 2025 – AsiaInfo Technologies Limited (“AsiaInfo Technologies” or the “Company”, which together with its subsidiaries, is referred to as the “Group”; HKEX stock code: 01675), is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the “Period”).

In the first half of 2025 (“2025H1”), the Group’s current overall operating scale is under pressure due to the ongoing cost-reduction and efficiency-enhancement in the telecommunications sector. Revenue was approximately RMB2,598 million, representing a decrease of 13.2% year-on-year. However, amid the wave of new AI technologies, the Group’s AI large model application and delivery business has achieved explosive growth, while the 5G private network and application business has continued to gain momentum, and it has kept optimising the business structure of digital intelligence-driven operation. Meanwhile, the Group has strengthened internal cost management to support sustainable development, and its business fundamentals will continue to be sound in the long term.

To cope with challenges of the ICT support business transformation, the Group implemented a series of cost-reduction and efficiency-enhancing measures proactively, such as personnel restructuring optimisation, applying AI tools to enhance efficiency, strengthening centralised procurement, and the one-stop official consumption platforms, which have achieved significant results in cost control. In 2025H1, gross profit was approximately RMB783 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.1%, with a gross profit margin of 30.1%, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.4 percentage points. Net operating cash outflow improved by 35.3% year-on-year. Excluding the impact of one-off severance compensation due to personnel restructuring optimisation, net loss for the period was approximately RMB48 million, and the Group expected that net profit will continue to rebound in the second half of the year (“2025H2”), with full-year profit better than last year.

The Board has attached great importance to the shareholders’ interests and returns, and after giving due consideration to the Group’s business development, profitability, and cash flow level, the Board has recommended the guideline of the final dividend for the year 2025 is 40% of the annual net profit attributable to shareholders.

AI Large Model Application and Delivery Business Achieves Explosive Growth

In 2025, the industrial application of AI large models witnessed explosive growth. In 2025H1, the Group secured orders worth approximately RMB70 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 78 times. In addition, the Company entered into a framework agreement that accounted for more than RMB40 million with a company. Revenue from the AI large model application and delivery business reached approximately RMB26 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 76 times.

Through collaborations with Alibaba Cloud, Baidu Intelligent Cloud, NVIDIA, AsiaInfo Security and others, the Group has constructed end-to-end industrial large model solutions covering energy and power, industrial manufacturing, transportation, smart retail, and other large enterprises. The Group has become a partner in Alibaba Cloud’s AI Large Model Galaxy Program, jointly developed nearly 100 projects and created numerous benchmark cases for large model delivery. With a robust pipeline of business opportunities, the Group is driving the industrialisation of large models.

5G Private Network and Application Business Continues to Gain Momentum

The Group’s 5G private network and application business provides an important emerging telecommunications network for energy industries such as the power and mining industries. By providing customised 5G private network products and advanced industry solutions, as well as offering professional one-stop services and turnkey projects, the Group created differentiation in its competitive advantage and became a leading company in the field of 5G private network. In 2025H1, the Group signed orders for the 5G private network and application business amounted to approximately RMB82 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 51.7%, while revenue amounted to approximately RMB47 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 26.3%, which was mainly attributable to the delay in some nuclear power orders and the delay in revenue recognition. In 2025H2, the Group will expedite order conversion, which is expected to drive rapid performance growth.

In terms of nuclear power, in 2025H1, on the basis of maintaining the continued market leadership of CNNC, the Group has successfully achieved a breakthrough in Huaneng Group and signed a contract for the 5G private network project for units 3 and 4 of the Changjiang Nuclear Power Plant in Hainan. Up to this point, the Group’s nuclear power 5G private network projects have covered 29 units in seven national nuclear power bases, further consolidating its top one position in the market share of nuclear power 5G private network. In 2025H1, the country’s investment in the new nuclear power sector exceeded RMB200 billion, and the Group’s 5G private network in nuclear power business is expected to grow continuously.

In the field of new energy, the Group continues to make efforts in wind power and photovoltaic markets, and has currently covered more than 210 new energy stations and achieved project breakthroughs for a number of energy group customers.

In the field of mining, the Group established an associated company with Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Company Limited to explore the new model of “digital and intelligent operation of mines and equipment manufacturing”. In 2025H1, the Group acquired projects such as Zhengzhou Coal Smart Supervision Platform, China Coal AI Management and Control Platform, China Coal Pingshuo Open-pit Mining Smart Transportation and others. In addition, the Group’s launch of intrinsically safe 5G private network base stations has obtained network access authorisation, and the Group has entered into cooperation with multiple 5G intrinsically safe certifiers, including CCTEG Changzhou Research Institute and China Coal. Meanwhile, the Group signed a framework procurement agreement with Hangzhou Jiaoyang Communications Technology Ltd. for intrinsically safe 5G private network base stations.

Optimisation of Digital Intelligence-driven Operation Business Structure and Continued Growth in the Non-Telecommunications Industry

Leveraging over 30 years of practical experience in business support and data governance in the telecommunications sector, along with an extensive network of industry experts, the Group has expanded its offerings to major industries with large end-user bases, such as finance, automobile and consumer sectors. It provides data operation services based on “data aggregation + scenario insights + AI empowerment”, continuously creating and enhancing value for clients. This approach has further strengthened the Group’s leading position in the results-based charging commerce models. In the non-telecommunications industry, the Group achieved an overall year-on-year order growth of 18.2% in 2025H1. Among them, orders in the finance sector increased significantly by 48.3% year-on-year, orders in the automobile sector increased by 5.3% year-on-year, and orders in the consumer sector increased by 4.4% year-on-year.

In the telecommunications sector, the Group leveraged a “scenario + AI Agent” strategy to enhance operational efficiency of clients and drive business revenue growth. Firstly, through joint innovation with operators, the Group supported clients in implementing value-based operations at scale, securing projects such as an intelligent marketing service assistant agent for operators’ household customers, an AI solution advisor for government and enterprise clients, and a frontline AI sales assistant. Secondly, the Group actively integrated the rights resources and technical capabilities of leading internet enterprises, and united with operator customers to develop operational innovations in areas such as households and business enterprise customers, and help customers to generate revenue by obtaining projects such as AI intelligent marketing, AI intelligent recommendation, and the introduction of rights to cooperative operations with a carrier.

In 2025H1, revenue from digital intelligence-driven operation business reached approximately RMB408 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 8.8%, primarily driven by increased cost control efforts by operators. However, the business structure continued to improve, with revenue from results-based and commission-based charging models accounting for 33.4%, up by 6.7 percentage points year-on-year. The Group will accelerate order conversion and revenue realisation in 2025H2 to ensure the achievement of full-year targets.

ICT Support Business Proactively Responds to Industry Transformation and Accelerates Expansion in New Customers and Projects

The Group has clearly positioned itself as a software service provider, acknowledging the structural adjustments occurring in the traditional operator industry while basing itself on its operator’s base of business, stabilising the ICT support business in the telecommunications sector, and laying a solid foundation for the Group’s overall business enhancement and transformation. In 2025H1, the Group’s ICT support business maintained a leading market share, with revenue reaching approximately RMB2,118 million. However, due to factors such as reduced overall investment by operators, revenue declined by 14.7% year-on-year. To offset the downward pressure in the BSS business, the Group implemented a series of measures, including AI empowerment, expansion into new services for existing customers, expansion of new clients, and joint market development in the government and enterprise sector. Meanwhile, the Group continued to restructure its organisational model from an “olive-shaped” to a “pyramid-shaped” structure to reduce delivery costs. The Group also leveraged AI large models and other new tools to empower internal operations to achieve cost reductions and enhance operational efficiency in order to significantly narrow the decline in full-year revenue of the ICT support business.

In 2025H1, the Group accelerated the application of AI in the BSS and OSS businesses, and 48 new projects were signed, including the R&D project of an operator’s intelligent platform and the project of technological innovation platform, etc. The deployment of AI tool platform exceeded 10 provinces, and more than 10 metahuman projects have been implemented, including product sales and assisted acceptance. In addition, the Group has been steadily sourcing new customers and projects, the first phase of the HKT project has been successfully launched.

In terms of joint market development in the government and enterprise sectors, the Group focused on data governance, trusted data space, public services, low altitude economy and other areas, and collaborated with operators to open up the market and break the ceiling of traditional business. Several projects have been successfully delivered, including data governance of an energy central enterprise, digital network of a province’s energy bureau, a province’s construction supervision and public service platform, a city’s health service platform, a province’s Forestry and Grassland Bureau’s digital forestry platform, and a city’s intelligent tourism service platform, among others.

Strengthening the Technological Leadership of Products such as Cloud Network and Digital Intelligence

In 2025H1, AsiaInfo Technologies continued to focus on the three major product systems of “Cloud Network”, “Digital Intelligence” and “IT”, comprehensively promoting the evolution and innovation of the product system towards AI Native, and continuously strengthening its technological leadership to provide strong support for the Group’s three growth engines. In 2025H1, the Group’s R&D investment amounted to approximately RMB415 million, with continued efforts to strengthen technological leadership in cloud and digital-intelligent products.

Future Prospects

Dr. TIAN Suning, Chairman and Executive Director of AsiaInfo Technologies, said, “We expect the results for 2025H2 to improve significantly compared to 2025H1, and we are determined to achieve our full-year targets by optimising the rhythm of signing contracts. In this regard, the Group will adhere to a steady and progressive development strategy. On one hand, we will continue to consolidate the foundation of our core telecommunications business to promote a steady recovery of our fundamental operations in ICT support business. On the other hand, we will continue to focus on cultivating three core growth engines, including AI large model application and delivery, 5G private network and application, and digital intelligence-driven operation. We will also accelerate our pace of signing contracts, to maintain a stable and healthy annual performance. Meanwhile, we will accelerate the commercialisation of AI large model application and delivery, 5G private network and application business orders, to achieve high performance growth for the year. Combining digital intelligence-driven operation business with AI and intelligent agent technology, we will continue to promote the innovative results-based charging commerce models, and optimise the business structure.”

A First in the Asia-Pacific – Taiwan Leads the Launch of the Early Kidney Disease Annual Report, Opening a New Era in Advancing Kidney Care

Published

12/12/2025

By

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 December 2025 – Taiwan’s chronic disease care is once again at the forefront internationally, taking new strides with the release of the Asia-Pacific’s first “Early Chronic Kidney Disease Annual Report,” jointly published by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the National Health Research Institutes, and the Taiwan Society of Nephrology. This report not only comprehensively covers the information on various stages of chronic kidney disease but also provides timely and internationally relevant data that has garnered high attention from the Asia-Pacific medical community.

Domestic and international leaders gathered at the launch ceremony of the 2025 Early CKD Annual Report Press Conference, symbolizing the formal release of the first early kidney disease annual report in the Asia-Pacific region and showcasing Taiwan’s international leadership position in precise kidney care. From left to right are:

  • Yung-Ho Hsu, Secretary General of the Taiwan Society of Nephrology
  • Shang-Jyh Hwang, Honorary President of the Taiwan Society of Nephrology
  • Masaomi Nangaku, Immediate Past-President of the International Society of Nephrology
  • Marcello Tonelli, President of the International Society of Nephrology
  • Mai-Szu Wu, President of the Taiwan Society of Nephrology
  • Chung-Liang Shih, Minister of the Ministry of Health and Welfare
  • Ching-Fen Shen, Director General of the Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare
  • Chih-Cheng Hsu, Professor at the National Health Research Institutes
  • Hyeong-Cheon Park, President Elect of the Asia Pacific Society of Nephrology
  • Rajnish Mehrotra, President of the International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis

The complete and immediate analysis aids in reversing the past trend where most patients were diagnosed at late stages and required dialysis, ushering in a new era of early detection and treatment. Minister of Health and Welfare, Chung-Liang Shih, stated at a press conference that this annual report serves as a new engine for promoting precise care, integrating complete data and risk classification indicators for Early CKD P4P(Pay for Performance) and Pre-ESRD P4P. This fills the gap in early kidney disease data and strengthens the quantitative basis for policy and clinical decision-making, facilitating early intervention and delaying disease progression. The goal is to achieve the Healthy Taiwan Policy target of reducing the standardized mortality rate for chronic diseases by one-third by 2030, and for Taiwan’s care model to become an example in the Asia-Pacific, establishing a sustainable and precise new framework for kidney care.

The early kidney disease annual report reveals several key trends. According to KDIGO risk classification, the proportion of high-risk and very high-risk patients in the P4P program has gradually decreased in recent years, reflecting a shift in treatment strategies toward early intervention and prevention. This trend not only highlights the medical team’s emphasis on the care of early-stage chronic kidney disease patients but also helps delay disease progression and reduce the incidence of later-stage complications. In terms of controlling the “three highs” (hyperglycemia, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia), data shows that approximately 80% of patients meet lipid targets and nearly 60% maintain stable blood sugar levels. However, only about 30% meet the target for blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg, indicating significant challenges remain in blood pressure control. The “three highs” are important risk factors for the progression and deterioration of chronic kidney disease, making it crucial to further improve control rates. The implementation of the P4P program has already shown preliminary results, and there are expectations for more immediate, comprehensive, and rigorous data collection and tracking, which will more fully demonstrate the long-term benefits of this care model.

Data-Driven: Taiwan’s First Early Kidney Disease Annual Report Fills Care Gaps

Professor Chih-Cheng Hsu from the National Health Research Institutes pointed out that past domestic kidney disease care has primarily focused on dialysis and end-stage disease, with limited understanding of early stages and delayed updates on data. This annual report breaks through traditional reporting frameworks and represents the first integration of complete data and risk classification indicators for Early CKD P4P and Pre-ESRD P4P. Utilizing big data for in-depth analysis, it outlines the disease progression and comorbidity trends of patients at different risk levels, successfully filling the long-term gap in early kidney disease care. He noted that grasping information on early stages of disease helps clinicians intervene earlier and delay deterioration while providing quantitative evidence for health policies to promote proactive and timely kidney care strategies, enhancing Taiwan’s international competitiveness in precise health governance.

Early CKD P4P and Pre-ESRD P4P are two phased quality-based reimbursement programs promoted by the National Health Insurance Administration, addressing key care needs for early chronic kidney disease and pre-dialysis patients, respectively. Early CKD P4P primarily targets patients in CKD stages 1-3a, aiding healthcare institutions in early identification of kidney deterioration risks through disease tracking and integrated care models, providing personalized management. Pre-ESRD P4P focuses on patients in CKD stages 3b, 4-5, enhancing control of complications, medication, and nutritional management while utilizing data feedback to support treatment decisions, aiming to delay dialysis and improve care efficiency. Both programs link the complete processes from early prevention to pre-dialysis intervention, contributing to improved overall CKD care quality and patient long-term prognosis.

Precise Kidney Care: Holistic and Continuous CKD Care as a Model for Chronic Disease

Taiwan centers its approach on “precise care,” continuously optimizing the integrated chronic kidney disease care system to implement policy blueprints in clinical practice. Director General of National Health Insurance Administration, Lian-Yu Chen, mentioned that Taiwan has progressively refined various measures, from educational programs for pre-end-stage renal disease patients to integrated care plans for early chronic kidney disease. The medical team can adjust personalized treatment strategies based on patient risk classification and clinical data, strengthening disease management and follow-up effectiveness for early-stage patients. She indicated that by integrating and providing feedback across units, care gaps could be minimized to ensure that patients receive consistent medical services across different levels of care. Director General of Health Promotion Administration, Ching-Fen Shen, remarked that grassroots health education and community health advocacy go hand in hand to enhance public awareness of kidney health. Years of efforts have significantly slowed the deterioration of early kidney disease progression, with patients participating in integrated care exhibiting a lower future risk of dialysis compared to those who do not participate, showing tangible effectiveness of the Taiwan model.

Policy Linkage and Sustainable Vision: Achieving the Healthy Taiwan Goals and Leading the New Landscape of Asia-Pacific

In response to the government’s “Healthy Taiwan” policy, Taiwan is implementing a preventive kidney care model based on the Early CKD P4P and Pre-ESRD P4P systems and the Early Kidney Disease Annual Report. President of the Taiwan Society of Nephrology, Mai-Szu Wu, stated that investing in early chronic kidney disease management not only contributes to health sustainability but also reduces waste of medical resources, achieving dual benefits of health outcomes and environmental sustainability, assisting the government in its goal to reduce chronic disease mortality by one-third by 2030.

During the Asia-Pacific Nephrology Conference (APCN) held in Taipei this year, the Asia-Pacific’s first Early Kidney Disease Annual Report was officially unveiled. President of the International Society of Nephrology, Marcello Tonelli, and Immediate Past-President , Masaomi Nangaku, along with the President Elect of the Asia Pacific Society of Nephrology Hyeong-Cheon Park and Honorary Secretary Sunita Bavanandan attended as witnesses, attracting experts from South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mongolia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Additionally, various important domestic academic societies, including the Taiwan Academy of Family Medicine, Taiwan Society of Cardiology, the Diabetes Association of the Republic of China (Taiwan), the Taiwan Association of Clinical Diabetes, and the Taiwan Medical Clinics Association also participated and supported the event. Minister Chung-Liang Shih expressed gratitude for the collective efforts and emphasized that this kidney annual report showcases Taiwan’s leading position in medical data integration and clinical evidence, hoping that real-time and comprehensive data analysis will once again showcase Taiwan’s precision care model to the international community, working together with other countries to create a new global framework for chronic kidney disease prevention and treatment.
