Although the single unit revenue this year is lower than that in 2025, as the overall sales volume will increase more, we believe that the revenue of the service and other sectors will continue to grow in 2025.

Therefore, we are optimistic and not pessimistic about the overall development and trend of the domestic market in 2022. Although demand was relatively low in December, we believe that this is only an adjustment in the time structure of demand, which will continue to release demand in subsequent months. Therefore, we are confident of achieving our annual sales target.
Q:What is the layout of the North and South markets?
A:At present, the South American market is our focus. We will focus on the eight-phase standard and gradually enter the markets of South American countries including Brazil, Argentina, and Chile.

For the problem of accelerating the growth of new energy vehicles in Europe, it depends on changes in the international environment, especially the impact of events such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on oil and gas supply.

Q:Management, I would like to ask about the overall inventory of the terminal now. Considering the unchanged sales target and the change of audio market rhythm, how should we adjust the sales strategy of ABCD4 series?
A:Regarding terminal inventory, starting from December 2025, we began to reduce terminal inventory in a planned way and achieved 596500 sales in 2025. Due to the forecast that the overall environment may be poor in the first quarter of 2026, we have taken measures to reduce dealer inventory in advance. At present, based on sales in the past eight weeks or so, the overall inventory level is between 1.5 months and 2 months. For March and April sales forecasts, we are dynamically adjusting dealer inventory to ensure that it remains at a healthy inventory level. We attach great importance to the impact of dealer inventory on the overall sales volume and are committed to controlling it within a reasonable range.
Q:Based on the new listing plan, what proportion of the ABC4 series is expected to occupy in 1 million sales this year?
A:We hope that on the basis of last year, there will be an increase in 2025, and it is expected to reach 600000 vehicles, including 40000 new models, but the specific proportion is a rough estimate. In the annual budget, we will make a corresponding detailed evaluation of the sales volume of each model.
Q:Regarding the collection of outdoor models in cooperation with FAW, mass production will also be launched in the second half of this year. What are we responsible for? What is the revenue this year?
A:We expect the first cooperative model in the region to be mass-produced in the third quarter of this year, mainly responsible for the research and development and manufacturing of the model. Since the model is an overseas model, Liu Hao is responsible for the overall manufacturing. Regarding the revenue that this model can bring, the specific amount will depend on the overall sales of the model. Although mass production is expected around September, due to the existence of overseas sales cycle, the overseas listing time of models has been delayed to the end of 2026, so the impact on the operating performance of the year is limited.
