BEIJING, China, October 14, 2025 -- NaaS Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: NAAS) (“NaaS” or the “Company”), the first U.S.-listed EV charging service company in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

2025 First Half Financial and Operational Highlights

 

·Substantial Increase in Gross Margin: Gross margin reached 97% in the first half of 2025, a substantial increase of 65 percentage points from 32% in the same period last year. Gross profit rose by 81% year-over-year.

 

·Stronger Order Margins: The proportion of profitable orders increased to approximately 75% (vs. 64% in the first half of 2024), while online operating expenses declined by 37% year-over-year.

 

·Improving Overall Profitability: The Company delivered net profit of RMB65.4 million for the reporting period, compared with a net loss of RMB363.2 million in the first half of 2024. Meanwhile, non-IFRS net loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company narrowed by 63% year-over-year.

 

Ms. Yang Wang, Chief Executive Officer of NaaS commented, “We have successfully completed strategic initiatives to focus on platform-based charging business, with significant optimization in cost, efficiency and profitability. Going forward, we will keep leveraging artificial intelligence technology to optimize the supply-demand matching of electric vehicle (EV) charging. Besides, as corporate fleets increasingly deploy EVs, we will enhance enterprise-grade energy management services based on our EV charging service ability.”

 

Mr. Steven Sim, Chief Financial Officer of NaaS, added, “During the reporting period, strong growth in gross profit and gross margin, combined with continued improvements in workforce productivity, further strengthened the Company’s financial resilience. Our optimized financial structure has not only reinforced the foundation for profitability but also created greater flexibility for future strategic investments and sustainable value creation.”

 

Recent Developments:

 

1. NaaS Completes China’s Pioneering Carbon Credit Transaction for EV Charging

 

In January 2025, NaaS facilitated the sale of 1,962 tons of carbon emission reductions generated from EV charging adoption, in partnership with Hubei Zhongtan Asset Management Co., Ltd.. These reductions were generated through NaaS’s pioneering EV charging carbon account, which enables users to earn and redeem carbon credits through their daily charging activities. As of June 30, 2024, more than 800,000 users had activated carbon accounts, further underscoring the platform’s leadership in green mobility. This milestone transaction once again highlights NaaS’s long-term commitment to carbon reduction practices, advancing sustainable mobility, and contributing to China’s carbon neutrality goals.

 

2. Strategic Partnership with Xiaomi

 

In March 2025, NaaS formed a strategic partnership with Xiaomi Auto, enabling Xiaomi Auto users to seamlessly access NaaS’s nationwide charging network via the Xiaomi Auto app and in-car charging map. The partnership brings together NaaS’s AI-driven technology and Xiaomi’s smart mobility platform to deliver a more seamless, efficient, and intelligent charging experience. It also reaffirms NaaS’s long-term commitment to technological innovation, superior user experience, and the promotion of sustainable mobility.

3. 2024 ESG Report

 

In August 2025, NaaS released its 2024 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, announcing a long-term goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 by 2050. In 2024, the Company’s charging services enabled a cumulative reduction of 3.22 million tons of carbon emissions, while its own greenhouse gas emissions fell by more than 47% year over year. NaaS also earned top recognition across leading international ESG rating systems: it ranked among the top 1% in the global retail industry according to S&P Global’s Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), received an “A” rating from the CDP Climate Change Questionnaire, and scored 78 in Sustainable Fitch ESG Entity Rating in 2024 — the highest in the Asia-Pacific region. Collectively, these distinctions further reinforce NaaS’s position as a global leader in sustainable mobility.

 

2025 First Half Financial Results

 

Revenue

 

Total revenue was RMB66.6 million, down 40% year over year, primarily due to the Company’s proactive strategic shift away from capital-intensive, cash-consuming businesses, which had a short-term impact on the revenue.

 

·Charging services revenue was RMB63.5 million, compared with RMB92.7 million in the same period last year, with revenue from low margin full station operation business down by RMB31.9 million year-over-year.

 

·Energy solutions revenue was RMB0.5 million, compared with RMB14.5 million in the same period last year, as the Company continued to reduce the scale of working capital intensive offline business such as charging pile sales and EPC engineering projects.

 

·New Initiatives revenue was RMB2.6 million, compared with RMB4.0 million in the prior year, mainly attributable to decrease in power purchasing service business.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Operating costs were RMB2.2 million, a 97% decrease from RMB75.6 million in the same period last year. Key changes included:

 

1)Personnel expenses (excluding share-based compensation) decreased by 71% year over year to RMB0.6 million, from RMB2.1 million in the first half of 2024, reflecting the phase-out of full station operation model and energy solutions businesses as well as related team optimization;

 

2)Site rental and electricity expenses related to full station operation model declined by 98% to RMB0.7 million, from RMB37.6 million in the first half of 2024;

 

3)Costs related to the energy solutions business, including charging pile sales and offline EPC projects, decreased by 94% to RMB0.8 million, from RMB13.2 million in the first half of 2024.

 

The significant cost reductions were primarily driven by the Company’s transition to an asset-light platform model and its proactive shift away from asset-heavy businesses, resulting in a more optimized cost structure.

 

Gross Margin

 

Gross margin reached 97%, up by 65 percentage points from 32% in the same period last year, primarily reflecting the Company’s transition to an asset-light operating model that has significantly improved overall profitability.

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses were RMB104.5 million, down by 68% year-over-year, reflecting effective control of personnel-related costs and improved online operating efficiency based on reduction in loss-making charging orders.

 

1)Selling and marketing expenses were RMB57.7 million, reduced by 52% from RMB119.7 million in the same period last year.

 

2)General and administrative expenses were RMB54.0 million, reduced by 69% from RMB172.6 million in the same period last year.

 

3)Research and development expenses were RMB7.5 million, reduced by 77% from RMB32.8 million in the same period last year.

 

The Company recorded a net impairment reversal of RMB14.7 million, compared with a net impairment loss of RMB1.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily attributable to significant improvements in actual collections of receivables that warranted positive adjustment credit loss provisions.

 

These improvements highlight the Company’s disciplined cost control and enhanced operating efficiency.

 

Net Profit and Non-IFRS Net Loss

 

Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB66.1 million, compared with a net loss of RMB362.9 million in the same period last year. The Company recognized a gain of approximately RMB140 million upon the settlement of a US$35 million convertible note, where the minimum amount payable by the Company to the convertible note holder was modified from US$35 million to US$16.5 million amongst the modification of several other terms. Non-IFRS net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB61.0 million, narrowing by 63% year over year from a net loss of RMB166.3 million in the prior-year period.

 

Cash Position

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled RMB74.7 million as of June 30, 2025, compared with RMB126.6 million as of December 31, 2024.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
