HONG KONG, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Cryofocus Medtech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. ("Cryofocus" or the "Company", Stock Code: 6922.HK), an innovative medical device platform company with a main focus on the field of minimally-invasive interventional cryotherapy, recently announced its annual results for the year ended December 31, 2025. The report highlights that the Company's commercialization process has comprehensively accelerated, delivering exceptional performance across core financial metrics. Alongside exponential revenue growth, Cryofocus achieved significantly improved operational efficiency and drastically narrowed losses, demonstrating its robust growth momentum and intrinsic platform value.Robust Revenue Growth, Drastically Narrowed Losses, and Continuous Improvement in Operational QualityIn 2025, Cryofocus recorded a revenue of RMB 95.27 million, representing a surging increase of 78.0% compared to RMB 53.53 million in the same period of 2024. The loss for the year was significantly narrowed by 60.0% to RMB 44.46 million, down from RMB 111.28 million in 2024, showcasing the Company's outstanding operational efficiency and cost-control capabilities.The Company's overall gross profit reached RMB 63.98 million, a year-on-year increase of 66.6%, while the gross profit margin was maintained at a healthy level of 67.2%. During the reporting period, Cryofocus continued to optimize its R&D efficiency. R&D expenses decreased by 58.6% year-on-year to RMB 30.44 million, primarily due to the reduction in investments following the successful NMPA approval of certain products, as well as the optimization of staff costs. This reflects the steady transition of the Company's R&D pipeline from an early-stage investment phase to a late-stage harvest phase.Comprehensive Acceleration of the Cryotherapy Product Matrix with Respiratory Intervention as the Core Growth Engine The strong financial growth was primarily driven by the commercial volume ramp-up of the Company's cryotherapy product pipeline, which is built upon its unique liquid nitrogen cryoablation technology and advanced flexible catheter technology platforms. Notably, the respiratory intervention product pipeline delivered a stellar performance, acting as the absolute main driving force for revenue growth.In March 2025, the Company's Malignant Stenosis Cryoablation System received approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and was successfully commercialized in China in May of the same year, with sales volume climbing rapidly. In addition, the sales of the previously commercialized Cryoadhesion System continued to grow. Meanwhile, the Company further deepened its distribution partnership with the international medical giant Boston Scientific (BSC) in the Chinese market, which contributed considerable incremental revenue.More notably, the Company's Asthma Cryoablation System was granted designation as a "Breakthrough Medical Device" by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2025. This marks an international authoritative recognition of its innovative technology, laying a solid foundation for its future expansion into the global market.Successful Share Placement Fortifies Financial Foundation to Facilitate Global ExpansionTo support future R&D and market expansion, the Company successfully completed the placement of new H shares to specific investors in January 2026. A total of 5,595,000 H shares were issued, raising net proceeds of approximately HK$29.73 million. Cryofocus plans to utilize the funds primarily for the R&D, manufacturing, and commercialization of minimally-invasive interventional products related to vascular intervention, respiratory intervention, and cancer intervention, as well as to provide financial backing for the potential overseas business expansion of these commercialized products.This financing not only bolstered the Company's cash reserves, securing a solid financial guarantee for the clinical development and global registration of subsequent high-value pipeline products—such as the Peri-Pulmonary Nodule Cryoablation System, COPD Cryospray System, Asthma Cryoablation System, and the Cryo-RDN System for resistant hypertension—but also underscored the strong confidence of professional institutional investors in the Company’s technology platform and long-term prospects.Looking Ahead: Platform Advantages Highlighted, Striving to Become a Global Cryotherapy LeaderLeveraging its unique "One Platform, Multiple Tracks" business model, Cryofocus has built a robust product pipeline covering multiple therapeutic areas, including vascular intervention, respiratory intervention, and cancer intervention. The Company currently possesses a comprehensive pipeline comprising 25 products and product candidates, 11 of which have already been commercialized. As more products progressively enter late-stage clinical trials and the regulatory approval phase, the value of the Company's platform is expected to be continuously unlocked.Looking ahead, Cryofocus stated that it will continue to execute its clear strategies: rapidly advancing the clinical development and commercialization of product candidates; further expanding the product portfolio based on its core technology platform; continuously investing in underlying and supporting technologies; and selectively expanding its worldwide footprint. The Company is steadily transitioning from an R&D-driven approach to a dual-engine model driven by both R&D and commercialization, taking solid steps toward its vision of becoming a "global medical device platform in the field of minimally-invasive interventional cryotherapy."

Focusing on consumers’ diverse needs, the company has continuously innovated in flavor, functionality, and specifications, establishing a complete product matrix covering both basic mass consumption and various segmented scenarios. Its product lines include not only classic series, premium soy sauce series, and time-honored series for daily cooking, but also healthy and nutritious lines such as organic, less-sodium, iron-fortified, selenium-enriched, and gluten-free products, as well as trendy products such as matsutake premium soy sauce.In the oyster sauce category, the company insists on selecting premium whole oysters from high-standard marine ranches and simmering them into sauce. With genuine ingredients and rigorous craftsmanship, Haitian oyster sauce maintains its advantage of being “rich in flavor, free from any fishy taste; one simple step to seal in freshness” . Currently, the company has launched diversified products such as Haitian superior oyster sauce and golden label oyster sauce, covering different flavors, packaging specifications, and price points. In response to consumer demand, the company has carried out scenario-based innovation, successively launching new products such as spicy oyster sauce and matsutake fresh oyster sauce to continuously enrich consumer choices.In the seasoning sauce category, the company’s products are mainly divided into two categories: basic flavored sauces and compound flavored sauces.

Meanwhile, the company adheres to a dual-wheel layout of “traditional vinegar + specialty vinegar,” developing regional characteristic rice vinegar such as sweet rice vinegar, selected fresh rice vinegar, and kangle vinegar, as well as specialty fruit vinegar including sugar-free apple cider vinegar and raw orange vinegar. This has formed a rich and diverse vinegar product system, further consolidating the company’s all-category competitive advantages, providing solid support for its steady performance growth, and building a profound market barrier.Benefiting from the recovery of the consumer market and its extensive product portfolio, Haitian Flavouring’s core categories including soy sauce, oyster sauce, and seasoning sauces maintained steady development in 2025, achieving operating revenues of RMB 14.934 billion, RMB 4.868 billion, and RMB 2.917 billion respectively, with year-on-year growth rates of 8.55%, 5.48%, and 9.29%.

Among them, the two products series of Golden Label Light Soy Sauce and Mushroom Dark Soy Sauce have been bestsellers for over 60 years. The two products series of Premium Soy Sauce and Haitian Superior Oyster Sauce have achieved annual revenue of over RMB 1 billion per product for over 10 consecutive years, becoming the core drivers supporting the Company's steady performance growth and demonstrating strong product vitality and high market recognition.While consolidating its advantages in core product categories, Haitian Flavouring proactively adapts to the trend of consumption upgrading, invests heavily in new product development, creates trend-setting new products, and forms a continuously evolving growth flywheel. Supported by its industry-leading product strength, the nutritionally healthy product series, represented by organic and less-sodium options, achieved operating revenue with a year-on-year growth rate of 48.3%, significantly outperforming the industry average growth rate and opening up a new growth curve for the Company's performance growth.Furthermore, Haitian Flavouring is proactively transforming itself from a "condiments supplier" to a "comprehensive flavor solutions provider," accurately capturing the new market opportunities brought by the industrialization and chain-upgrading of the catering industry. As of the end of 2025, the Company has cumulatively provided one-stop commercial condiment solutions to catering chains, food enterprises, and numerous global retail brands, further expanding its profit margins.Meanwhile, the Company boasts leading digitalization-enabled flexible production and customized service capabilities. It can produce up to over 20 specifications and more than 130 SKUs of different products on the same production line, with its customized service response and time-to-market speed leading the industry. Powered by its digital transformation, the Company's ultimate supply chain has established a new paradigm for the collaborative development of "customization, scale, quality-to-price performance ratio" in the manufacturing industry. This not only ensures stable and safe product quality to meet the stringent requirements of chain catering but also caters to the diverse needs of different users for condiments.Digitalization Empowers Across the Entire Chain, Technological Innovation Boosts EfficiencyTechnology development and technological innovation are the core engines driving Haitian Flavouring's performance growth. The Company proactively embraces the AI era, deeply integrating artificial intelligence and big data into the entire chain of R&D, production, supply, and sales.

Meanwhile, the Company’s Gaoming production base was successfully recognized as the world's first "Lighthouse Factory" in the soy sauce brewing industry, a benchmark for smart manufacturing certified by the World Economic Forum, redefining the Digitalization height of the traditional condiments industry.With comprehensive digital empowerment, Haitian's supply chain operational efficiency has significantly improved. In 2025, the Company's On-Time In-Full (OTIF) delivery rate continued to optimize, and customer service levels reached a new height. At the same time, the ratios of manufacturing expenses and direct labor costs to operating costs-two core cost indicators- surpassed those of most peers, achieving a dual breakthrough in quality improvement, efficiency enhancement, and cost control.Thanks to its outstanding digital practices, in 2025, the Company won numerous awards, including the "CGF China Supply Chain Digitalization and Sustainable Resilience Development Case" and the "National Typical Cases of Digital Transformation in Manufacturing", establishing itself as a benchmark for digital transformation in the industry. Additionally, the national standard " General Technical Requirements for Food Production Digital Factories", led by Haitian, was officially released. This fills the gap in the field of digital factory construction in China's food industry and provides authoritative and unified technical guidelines and an implementation framework for the Digitalization upgrading of the food industry.Leveraging smart technologies, the Company also achieved notable progress in green manufacturing. In terms of energy structure, the scale of solar photovoltaic power stations increased by nearly 100%, and a biomass power generation project was also put into operation. Power generated from green energy reached 29 million kWh, while the share of green electricity exceeded 28%.
