OneRobotics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (abbreviated “ONEROBOTICS”) released its 2026 interim report, highlighting rapid top-line expansion but a swing to loss driven by foreign-exchange pressure and heavier research spending.
Financial Performance • Revenue rose 31.8% year on year to RMB 522.39 million, supported by the rollout of new products including the humanoid home robot H1, Acemate AI sports robot and KATA Friends companion robot. • Gross profit increased 22.5% to RMB 263.12 million; gross margin narrowed to 50.4% from 54.2% due to yen and U.S.-dollar weakness against the renminbi. • R&D expenses surged 73.3% to RMB 101.72 million, lifting the R&D ratio to 19.5% of revenue (1H 2025: 14.8%). • Net foreign-exchange loss reached RMB 42.70 million; forward FX contracts generated RMB 33.80 million of gains, partly offsetting currency effects. • The Group reported a net loss of RMB 38.29 million versus a profit of RMB 27.90 million a year earlier.
