The acquired assets and liabilities of Letsvan are included at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. Mr. Peng Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of QuantaSing, commented, “Our third quarter results reflect our strategic pivot toward product-driven business models that create long-term value. The acquisition of Letsvan marks a significant milestone in our expansion into the pop toys market, a sector with strong growth potential that perfectly aligns with our brand-first philosophy. The early success of our WAKUKU IP, including the recent Fox and Rabbit collection launch, validates our approach of pairing strong product development capabilities with efficient go-to-market strategies. As we integrate Letsvan's operations, we're applying our test-and-scale methodology to build a global presence in this resilient market segment. We aim to create businesses where brand strength and product excellence drive sustainable growth, rather than simply pursuing traffic-driven metrics.” Mr. Dong Xie, Chief Financial Officer of QuantaSing, added, “Our financial performance this quarter underscores our commitment to disciplined capital allocation during this transformation phase. While revenue moderated to RMB570.7 million as we shifted resources away from traffic-driven businesses, we've maintained strong cash generation across our businesses. Our ROI-focused assessment methodology has allowed us to exit underperforming areas while preserving resources for high-potential opportunities. With our healthy cash position, we have the flexibility to support both our existing operations and our strategic initiatives in the pop toys space. Though we anticipate some near-term profitability fluctuations as we optimize our business mix, our financial foundation remains robust as we execute this strategic evolution.” Financial Results for the Third Quarter of FY 2025 Revenues Revenues were RMB570.7 million (US$78.6 million) in the third quarter of FY 2025, compared to RMB945.6 million in the third quarter of FY 2024. The change reflects the Company's deliberate shift from traffic-driven growth to high-quality growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses gross billings of individual online learning services, adjusted net income and basic and diluted adjusted net income per share as its non-GAAP financial measures. Gross billings of individual online learning services for a specific period represents revenues of the Company’s individual online learning services net of the changes in deferred revenues in such period, further adjusted by value-added tax in such period. Adjusted net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses and remeasurement gain of previously held equity interests inconnection with step acquisitions. Basic and diluted adjusted net income per share represents adjusted net income attributable to QuantaSing Group Limited divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods used in computing adjusted net income per share, basic and diluted. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company's results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for revenue, net income, net income per share, basic and diluted or other consolidated statements of operations data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's definition of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of industry peers and may not be comparable with their non-GAAP financial measures. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “QuantaSing Group Limited Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” near the end of this release.

Our strong first-half performance reflects the resilience of our business model, the quality of our assets, and the dedication of our talented teams. With the successful integration of Maverick progressing on schedule, we are already realizing meaningful synergies and operational efficiencies that enhance our ability to optimize cash flow in our expanded portfolio and drive long-term value from our investments. The strategic partnership with The Carlyle Group marks a transformational milestone for Diversified. This $2 billion commitment underscores confidence in our platform and provides significant capital flexibility to capitalize on the ongoing consolidation of mature producing assets. It also strengthens our ability to scale responsibly, in a non-dilutive manner, while preserving our disciplined approach to capital allocation. We remain focused on unlocking value across our portfolio through asset optimization, which resulted in approximately $70 million of additional cash flow, high return projects with our targeted capital investments, and the continuation of portfolio optimization through Smarter Asset Management (SAM) programs. Our NextLVL team’s industry-leading pace of asset retirements and regulatory advancements in West Virginia highlights our commitment to collaborating across our organization and with key stakeholders to solidify our commitment to sustainable operations. As we look ahead, the mega trends of electrification, AI power demand, and US LNG Export growth only strengthen the fundamental outlook for our business. The acceleration of natural gas generation for data center demand in Appalachia creates a line of sight to meaningful in-basin demand, pointing to tighter basis spreads near our footprint in the coming years. While our expansive central region operations are well-positioned to support US Energy dominance in the Gulf Coast, including as a strategic supplier to LNG export terminals. Given Diversified's continued operational excellence, fundamental market tailwinds, and strategic actions to optimize our portfolio of assets, we remain confident in our ability to continue delivering consistent and resilient free cash flow, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and returning meaningful capital to shareholders. Diversified is well-positioned to thrive as a proven portfolio manager of energy assets in today’s evolving energy landscape, and we are proud to be the Right Company at the Right Time, delivering essential energy while creating long-term value for all stakeholders.” Operations and Finance Update Production The Company recorded exit rate production in June 2025 of 1,135 MMcfepd (189 Mboepd)(a) and delivered 2Q25 average net daily production of 1,149 MMcfepd (192 Mboepd). The Company's production volume mix was approximately 73% natural gas, 13% natural gas liquids ("NGL's"), and 14% oil, with approximately 64% of production volumes from the Central region and 36% from Appalachia for the second quarter. Net daily production for the quarter continued to benefit from Diversified’s peer-leading, shallow decline profile. Margin and Total Cash Expenses per Unit Diversified delivered 2Q25 per unit revenues of $4.88/Mcfe(d) ($29.28/Boe) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin(b) of 63% (65% unhedged). Notably, these per unit metrics reflect an increase in both revenues and expenses from the incorporation of greater liquids-related production of Maverick. The Company’s per unit expenses are anticipated to improve as the Company implements its playbook to achieve long-term, sustainable synergies and cost savings. For example, General and Administrative expenses compared to prior period levels, despite the higher per unit costs of Maverick, supporting our progress on cost savings and synergy capture. 1Q252Q25 1H251H24 $/Mcfe$/Boe$/Mcfe$/Boe $/Mcfe$/Boe$/Mcfe$/BoeAverage Realized Price$3.57 $21.42$4.05 $24.30 $3.84 $23.04$3.05 $18.30Other Revenue$0.19 $1.14$0.19 $1.14 $0.19 $1.14$0.18 $1.08Total Revenue + Divestitures(d)$3.78 $22.68$4.88 $29.28 $4.41 $26.46$3.30 $19.80 Lease Operating Expense$0.91 $5.49$1.21 $7.26 $1.08 $6.48$0.66 $3.96Production taxes$0.21 $1.26$0.23 $1.38 $0.22 $1.32$0.15 $0.90Midstream operating expense$0.23 $1.38$0.18 $1.08 $0.20 $1.20$0.26 $1.56Transportation expense$0.35 $2.10$0.36 $2.16 $0.35 $2.10$0.31 $1.86Total Operating Expense$1.70 $10.23$1.98 $11.88 $1.85 $11.10$1.38 $8.28Employees, Administrative Costs and Professional Fees(g)$0.30 $1.80$0.23 $1.38 $0.26 $1.56$0.30 $1.80Adjusted Operating Cost per Unit(e)$2.00 $12.03$2.21 $13.26 $2.11 $12.66$1.68 $10.08Adjusted EBITDA Margin(b) 47% 63% 56% 49% Share Repurchase Program At the 2025 Annual General Meeting, the Company's share repurchase authority was approved for a maximum of 8,099,015 shares representing 10% of the Company's issued share capital (the "2025 Authorization").

These forward-looking statements, which contain the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “seek”, “continue”, “aim”, “target”, “projected”, “plan”, “goal”, “achieve”, “guidance” and words of similar meaning, reflect the Company’s beliefs and expectations and are based on numerous assumptions regarding the Company’s present and future business strategies and the environment the Company and the Group will operate in and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. No representation is made that any of these statements or forecasts will come to pass or that any forecast results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve inherent known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future and may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company or the Group to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the Company’s or the Group’s ability to control or estimate precisely, such as future market conditions, currency fluctuations, the behavior of other market participants, the actions of regulators and other factors such as the Company’s or the Group’s ability to continue to obtain financing to meet its liquidity needs, the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquisitions, including the acquired Maverick assets, changes in the political, social and regulatory framework, including inflation and changes resulting from actual or anticipated tariffs and trade policies, in which the Company or the Group operate or in economic or technological trends or conditions. The list above is not exhaustive and there are other factors that may cause the Company’s or the Group’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement, Including the risk factors described in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of their date and neither the Company nor the Group nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates or advisers expressly disclaim any obligation to supplement, amend, update or revise any of the forward-looking statements made herein, except where it would be required to do so under applicable law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements in this announcement, may not occur. As a result, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Past performance of the Company cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance. No statement in this announcement is intended as a profit forecast or a profit estimate and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that the financial performance of the Company for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published for the Company. Use of Non-IFRS Measures Certain key operating metrics that are not defined under IFRS (alternative performance measures) are included in this announcement. These non-IFRS measures are used by us to monitor the underlying business performance of the Company from period to period and to facilitate comparison with our peers. Since not all companies calculate these or other non-IFRS metrics in the same way, the manner in which we have chosen to calculate the non-IFRS metrics presented herein may not be compatible with similarly defined terms used by other companies. The non-IFRS metrics should not be considered in isolation of, or viewed as substitutes for, the financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Certain of the key operating metrics are based on information derived from our regularly maintained records and accounting and operating systems. Adjusted EBITDA & Pro Forma TTM Adjusted EBITDA As used herein, EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depletion, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjusting for items that are not comparable period-over-period, namely, finance costs, accretion of asset retirement obligation, other (income) expense, (gain) loss on fair value adjustments of unsettled financial instruments, (gain) loss on natural gas and oil property and equipment, (gain) loss on sale of equity interest, unrealized (gain) loss on investment, costs associated with acquisitions, other adjusting costs, loss on early retirement of debt, non-cash equity compensation, (gain) loss on interest rate swaps, and items of a similar nature. Pro forma TTM adjusted EBITDA extends adjusted EBITDA by adjusting for acquisitions or other significant changes that impacted EBITDA over the last twelve months. Adjusted EBITDA and pro form TTM adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating profit or loss, net income or loss, or cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities. However, we believe such measure is useful to an investor in evaluating our financial performance because it (1) is widely used by investors in the natural gas and oil industry as an indicator of underlying business performance; (2) helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the often-volatile revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement; (3) is used in the calculation of a key metric in one of our Credit Facility financial covenants; and (4) is used by us as a performance measure in determining executive compensation. When evaluating this measure, we believe investors also commonly find it useful to evaluate this metric as a percentage of our total revenue, inclusive of settled hedges, producing what we refer to as our adjusted EBITDA margin.

(3)Other adjusting costs for the three months ended March 31 and June 30, 2025, and the six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily associated with one-time personnel-related expenses and legal fees from certain litigation. Other adjusting costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily associated with expenses associated with unused firm transportation agreements and legal and professional fees. Other adjusting costs for the six months ended December 31, 2024 were primarily associated with legal fees from certain litigation. (4)Includes adjustments for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2025 for the Oaktree, Crescent Pass, and East Texas II acquisitions to pro forma results for a full twelve months of operations. Similar adjustments were made for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025 for the Maverick, Summit, Crescent Pass, and East Texas II acquisitions as well as for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024 for the Oaktree acquisition and for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2024 for the Oaktree, Crescent Pass, and East Texas II acquisitions. Net Debt, Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA & Net Debt-to-Pro Forma TTM Adjusted EBITDA As used herein, net debt represents total debt as recognized on the balance sheet less cash and restricted cash. Total debt includes our borrowings under the Credit Facility, borrowings under or issuances of, as applicable, our subsidiaries’ securitization facilities, and other borrowings. We believe net debt is a useful indicator of our leverage and capital structure. As used herein, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, net debt-to-pro forma TTM adjusted EBITDA, or “leverage” or “leverage ratio,” is measured as net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA or pro forma TTM adjusted EBITDA. We believe that this metric is a key measure of our financial liquidity and flexibility and is used in the calculation of a key metric in one of our Credit Facility financial covenants. The following table presents a reconciliation of the IFRS Financial measure of Total Non-Current Borrowings to the Non-IFRS measure of Net Debt and a calculation of Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt-to-Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods listed: As of(In thousands)March 31, 2025June 30, 2025June 30, 2024December 31, 2024Total debt$2,701,190$2,676,910$1,654,560$1,693,242LESS: Cash and cash equivalents 32,641 23,743 3,483 5,990LESS: Restricted cash(1)(2) 106,011 103,158 54,976 46,269Net debt$2,562,538$2,550,009$1,596,101$1,640,983Pro forma TTM adjusted EBITDA(3)$952,216$964,028$584,261$548,570Net debt-to-pro forma TTM adjusted EBITDA(4)2.7x2.6x2.7x3.0x (1)Includes adjustments for deferred financing costs and original issue discounts, consistent with presentation on the Statement of Financial Position. (2)The increase of restricted cash as of March 31 and June 30, 2025, is due to the addition of $19 million and $31 million in restricted cash for the ABS X Notes and ABS Maverick Notes, respectively, offset by $4 million for the retirement of the ABS I & II notes. (3)Includes adjustments for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2025 for the Oaktree, Crescent Pass, and East Texas II acquisitions to pro forma results for a full twelve months of operations. Similar adjustments were made for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025 for the Maverick, Summit, Crescent Pass, and East Texas II acquisitions as well as for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024 for the Oaktree acquisition and for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2024 for the Oaktree, Crescent Pass, and East Texas II acquisitions. (4)Does not include adjustments for working capital which are often customary in the market. Free Cash Flow As used herein, free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, less expenditures on natural gas and oil properties and equipment, and cash paid for interest. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash that is available for activities beyond capital expenditures. The Directors believe that free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to service debt obligations, make strategic acquisitions and investments, and pay dividends. The following table presents a reconciliation of the IFRS Financial measure of Net Cash from Operating Activities to the Non-IFRS measure of Free Cash Flow for each of the periods listed: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended(In thousands)March 31, 2025June 30, 2025 June 30, 2025June 30, 2024December 31, 2024Net cash provided by operating activities$131,539 $132,596 $264,135 $160,810 $184,853 LESS: Expenditures on natural gas and oil properties and equipment (28,031) (61,238) (89,269) (20,848) (31,252)LESS: Cash paid for interest (41,574) (50,680) (92,254) (47,632) (75,509)Free cash flow$61,934 $20,678 $82,612 $92,330 $78,092 ADD: Proceeds from divestitures 1,970 67,655 69,625 9,933 59,048 Adjusted free cash flow$63,904 $88,333 $152,237 $102,263 $229,470 Free cash flow yield(1) 31% (1) Annualized second quarter 2025 free cash flow of $88 million and Market Cap of $1.1 billion as of August 8, 2025. Total Revenue, Inclusive of Settled Hedges and Adjusted EBITDA Margin As used herein, total revenue, inclusive of settled hedges, accounts for the impact of derivatives settled in cash. We believe that total revenue, inclusive of settled hedges, is useful because it enables investors to discern our realized revenue after adjusting for the settlement of derivative contracts. As used herein, adjusted EBITDA margin is measured as adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of total revenue, inclusive of settled hedges. Adjusted EBITDA margin encompasses the direct operating costs and the portion of general and administrative costs required to produce each Mcfe. This metric includes operating expense, employee costs, administrative costs and professional services, and recurring allowance for credit losses, which cover both fixed and variable cost components. We believe that adjusted EBITDA margin is a useful measure of our profitability and efficiency, as well as our earnings quality, because it evaluates the Group on a more comparable basis period-over-period, especially given our frequent involvement in transactions that are not comparable between periods.

Leading National Presence — Launched fully-driverless commercial operations in Shanghai; the ONLY Company commercially operating fully-driverless Robotaxi services across all four tier-one cities in China.Strong Revenues Momentum — Total revenues up 76% year-over-year, with Robotaxi fare-charging revenues surging by over 300%. NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pony AI Inc. (“Pony.ai” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: PONY), a global leader in achieving large-scale commercialization of autonomous mobility, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Dr. James Peng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pony.ai, commented, “This quarter marked a significant milestone in our journey toward large-scale production and deployment, further solidifying our leadership in the Robotaxi industry. Since mass production started two months ago, over 2001 Gen-7 Robotaxi vehicles have rolled off the production line, putting us firmly on track to hit the year-end 1,000-vehicle target. Our robust Robotaxi revenues more than doubled, with fare-charging revenues surging by over 300% year-over-year. The path toward positive unit economics is also clear, as we made substantial improvements in key cost items such as remote assistance and vehicle insurance. These achievements are underpinned by our rapid scaling and operational breakthroughs in all four tier-one cities in China, coupled with expanded presence in Dubai, South Korea and Luxembourg. As we enter the second half of this pivotal year of mass production, we are driving strongly toward positive unit economics and accelerating our multi-year growth trajectory.” Dr. Tiancheng Lou, Chief Technology Officer of Pony.ai, commented, “Our leading position in the Robotaxi industry is built on two key pillars, fully-driverless and scale, both of which we have already achieved. With extensive real-world testing and operations across diverse conditions, we have demonstrated our commitment to rigorous engineering practices, the reliability of the autonomous driving stack and the strong generalization capabilities powered by our proprietary PonyWorld. With mass production underway, we are not just on track to reach 1,000 vehicles but building the foundation for sustained future growth.” Dr. Leo Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Pony.ai, commented, “We delivered strong results in the second quarter, with total revenues growing 76% year-over-year, reflecting the effectiveness of our go-to-market execution. Our robust Robotaxi fare-charging revenues growth once again underscores our progress in building a scalable and recurring monetization model and enhancing long-term business visibility. As Gen-7 mass production gains momentum and we maintain disciplined investment, we are well positioned to accelerate the large-scale commercialization.” Kicking off Robotaxi Scaling-up, a Strong Validation of our Scalable Fully-Driverless Advantage Mass production and operations of multiple Gen-7 Robotaxi models. 1) We kicked off mass production of the Guangzhou Automobile Group (“GAC”) and Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation (“BAIC”) Gen-7 Robotaxi models in June and July, respectively. With over 200 already produced, we’re accelerating toward our 1,000-vehicle target by the end of 2025. 2) We initiated operations in all four tier-one cities, collectively accumulating over 2 million kilometers of on-road autonomous driving mileage. This showcases the safety and stability of our entire autonomous driving stack in complex real-world scenarios. 3) We have made significant progress in cost efficiency, driven by an improving remote assistant-to-vehicle ratio and lower vehicle insurance. We are confident of achieving a 1:30 ratio by the end of 2025, enabling one remote assistant to monitor 30 vehicles.Two key pillars for technological advancement: fully-driverless and scale. 1) By achieving fully-driverless operations on a large scale, we have already established ourselves as one of the leading Robotaxi companies worldwide. 2) Among all participants in the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (“WAIC”) 2025 in Shanghai, we were the only provider offering fully-driverless and on-demand ride-hailing services to the public. In addition, we were the only one to remain fully-operational during extreme weather conditions, including typhoons and heavy rainstorms. Accelerating Commercial Deployment with Extending Service and User Coverage Accelerating commercial deployment and expanding ecosystem at scale. 1) Growing user adoption, increasing fleet of deployed Robotaxi vehicles and optimizing operational strategy collectively propelled our fare-charging revenues growth, establishing a sustainable monetization model. 2) We entered into a strategic partnership with Shenzhen Xihu Corporation Limited (“Xihu Group”), Shenzhen’s largest taxi operator, to jointly deploy a fleet of over 1,000 Gen-7 Robotaxis in Shenzhen over the coming years.Scaling up service availability to a wider user group. 1) Registered users on our platform surged by 136% year-over-year in the second quarter. 2) We secured testing permits for Gen-7 Robotaxis in all four tier-one cities, laying out a solid foundation for public-facing commercial deployment. 3) In July, we started fully-driverless commercial Robotaxi services to the public in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area, the heart of Shanghai’s financial district and luxury retails. 4) We extended Robotaxi services from 15 hours per day to full 24/7 coverage in certain areas of Guangzhou and Shenzhen to better fulfill rising user demand. Expanding Global Presence by Entering New Markets and Deepening Our Existing Footprint Strategic collaboration with local partners. We have reached a strategic collaboration with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (“RTA”) to integrate our autonomous driving technology into the city’s future transportation ecosystem. The collaboration will deploy our autonomous driving technology through a multi-phase roll-out, starting with supervised Robotaxi trials in late 2025.Advancing operations to cover diverse environments. We have advanced our presence in South Korea by securing nationwide permits, enabling Robotaxi operations across the country. In Gangnam district, Seoul, we are navigating complex urban traffic and challenging conditions, including winter snowfall. In the second quarter, we further launched nighttime and early-morning operations.Ongoing positive regulatory and testing progress. Following the testing permit granted earlier this year in Luxembourg, we launched road testing in the city of Lenningen in the second quarter in partnership with Emile Weber, Luxembourg’s leading mobility and fleet service provider. 1 As of August 11, 2025, 213 Gen-7 Robotaxi vehicles had been produced. Unaudited Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results (in USD thousands) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 June 30, 2025 Revenues: Robotaxi services 592 1,526 1,168 3,256Robotruck services 10,568 9,520 18,035 17,300Licensing and applications 1,039 10,409 5,517 14,878Total revenues 12,199 21,455 24,720 35,434 Total revenues were US$21.5 million (RMB153.7 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 75.9% from US$12.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by robust growth in both Robotaxi services and Licensing and Applications revenues.Robotaxi services revenues were US$1.5 million (RMB10.9 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 157.8% from US$0.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. Revenues from both fare-charging and project-based engineering solution services demonstrated rapid growth, with fare-charging revenues surging by over 300% year-over-year. The strong growth was primarily driven by expanding user adoption, growing demand in tier-one cities and an increased fleet of deployed Robotaxi vehicles. We also continued to optimize our pricing and operation strategies across diverse user bases, leading to improved user engagement and service efficiency.Robotruck services revenues were US$9.5 million (RMB68.2 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 9.9% from US$10.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease primarily reflected our proactive operation optimization to focus on high-margin revenues.Licensing and applications revenues were US$10.4 million (RMB74.6 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing a significant increase of 901.8% from US$1.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The growth was mainly driven by increased orders and deliveries of autonomous domain controller (“ADC”) products, supported by rising demand from both new and existing clients in the robot-delivery segment. Cost of Revenues Total cost of revenues was US$18.0 million (RMB128.9 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 47.0% from US$12.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. Gross Profit (Loss) and Gross Margin Gross profit was US$3.5 million (RMB24.8 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to gross loss of US$41 thousand in the second quarter of 2024.Gross margin was 16.1% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to negative 0.3% in the second quarter of 2024.

The increase in share-based compensation expenses reflected the normalization of expense recognition following our IPO in November 2024, as vesting is no longer contingent on IPO completion. Non-GAAP2 operating expenses were US$57.5 million (RMB412.1 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 58.5% from US$36.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by increased investments in mass production, alongside employee expenses aimed at strengthening R&D capacity for Gen-7 Robotaxi vehicles. Research and development expenses were US$49.0 million (RMB351.2 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 69.0% from US$29.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP research and development expenses were US$44.1 million (RMB315.6 million), representing an increase of 53.3% from US$28.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly due to i) investments in mass production for the Gen-7 vehicles and ii) increased employee compensation and benefits to strengthen technological capabilities.Selling, general and administrative expenses were US$15.7 million (RMB112.5 million) in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 97.3% from US$8.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses were US$13.5 million (RMB96.5 million), representing an increase of 78.2% from US$7.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to i) increased personnel expenses in preparation for large-scale commercial deployment and ii) increased professional service fees. Loss from Operations Loss from operations was US$61.3 million (RMB438.9 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to US$37.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP loss from operations was US$54.1 million (RMB387.3 million), compared to US$36.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. Net Loss Net loss was US$53.3 million (RMB381.6 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to US$30.9 million in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP net loss was US$46.1 million (RMB329.9 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to US$30.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Ordinary Share Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was both US$0.14 (RMB1.00) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to US$0.92 in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was both US$0.13 (RMB0.93) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to US$0.91 in the second quarter of 2024. Each American depositary shares (“ADS”) represents one Class A ordinary share. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash and long-term debt instruments for wealth management were US$747.7 million (RMB5,356.1 million) as of June 30, 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, financing activities provided cash of US$33.1 million, showing an increase compared to the second quarter of 2024. This was mainly due to employee share sales following the expiration of the lock-up period, resulting in funds collected on behalf of employees for future distribution. 2 Non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation expenses and changes in fair value of warrants liability, and such adjustment has no impact on income tax.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to Pony AI Inc., non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share, and non-GAAP free cash flows, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and changes in fair value of warrants liability, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.

However, in the context of the Company, operating cash flows are a cash out (i.e., a cash outflow). Free Cash Flows represent the total of operating cash outflows plus capital expenditures. This metric reflects the Company's important cash outflows, as it combines the funds required to maintain operations and invest in growth.
