Management Commentary

"The second quarter of 2026 was a transformative period for XMax as we launched our API platform, generated our first AI-related revenue," said Xiaohua Lu, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "We reported net income of $32.4 million, driven primarily by a $42.1 million unrealized gain on our investment in Preamble Capital, while our balance sheet was further strengthened by approximately $34.6 million in cash and $45.3 million in working capital as of June 30, 2026."

"Our overall gross margin was 40% in the second quarter, compared to 50% a year ago, primarily reflecting the initial cost mix of our new AI-based services," Mr. Lu continued. "Total revenue grew 7% as our new API-based services contributed for the first time, while our furniture sales declined due to challenging market conditions and the impact of tariffs. With our working capital increasing to $45.3 million, we have significant financial flexibility to pursue our strategic AI initiatives."

"As we move forward, we are focused on our key priorities: building scalable AI software and platform-based services through our wholly owned subsidiaries, XMax AI Inc. in the U.S. and Elonx AI Holdings PTE. LTD. in Singapore, and deploying capital strategically to create long-term shareholder value," Mr. Lu added. "The launch of our API platform, together with the service agreements we have executed with new customers, represent important steps in establishing our AI infrastructure and service capabilities, positioning us to serve enterprise customers seeking to integrate advanced AI capabilities into their commercial applications."
