SHANGHAI, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Haier Group proudly announces that it has been ranked 54th in the 2025 Kantar BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands, with a brand value of USD 47.6 billion, marking an impressive 47.1% year-on-year increase. This milestone not only highlights Haier's sustained brand momentum but also reinforces its leadership as the only Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem brand to be listed in the global ranking for seven consecutive years. Haier Consolidates Its Position as One of the Most Valuable Global Brands and the Only IoT Ecosystem Brand in the World Recognized as one of the world's most authoritative brand valuation rankings, Kantar BrandZ combines rigorous financial analysis with in-depth consumer insights across 54 markets. The total brand value of this year's Global Top 100 reached a record USD 10.7 trillion, reflecting a 29% annual growth. Among those listed, Haier's continued rise reflects its ecosystem-driven strategy and user-centric innovation in the global marketplace. In the 2025 ranking, Apple retained its No.1 position for the fourth year in a row with a brand value of USD 1.3 trillion. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and NVIDIA followed in the top five. Reflecting a long-term growth trajectory, Chinese brands have doubled their value over the past 20 years, now accounting for 6% of the total brand value in the Global Top 100. Haier's continued rise in the Kantar BrandZ Global Top 100 reflects the growing strength and adaptability of its ecosystem brand strategy, which is built around three pillars: Smart Living Ecosystem, Comprehensive Health Industry Ecosystem, and Digital Economy Industry Ecosystem. In the age of IoT, Haier has moved beyond traditional product-making to create interconnected ecosystems shaped by user co-creation and intelligent integration. For Smart Living, Haier Smart has advanced from traditional appliances to intelligent, connected living experiences, aiming to become the world's most valuable home ecosystem brand. In Comprehensive Health, Haier has formed a full-spectrum health ecosystem spanning life science, clinical medicine, and biotechnology. With rapid expansion over the past five years, its healthcare business has become a national industry leader. Also, Haier's Digital Economy Ecosystem, powered by the COSMOPlat industrial internet platform, is unlocking new productivity engines and enabling sustainable transformation across industries. "We have witnessed the ups and downs of brands over the past 20 years. Haier has truly evolved from a brand in Qingdao, to a brand in China, then to a global brand, and now to an ecosystem brand. Now, it has truly established itself as an excellent localised world-class brand," said Doreen Wang, Kantar Greater China CEO and Global Chair of Kantar BrandZ. Haier's seven-year presence in the BrandZ Global Top 100 is not only a reflection of its enduring brand strength, but also a testament to China's growing role in shaping the future of global value creation. As AI continues to reshape global industries, Haier has announced 2025 as the inaugural year of its full-scale AI applications. By embedding AI across every facet of its operations, Haier is cultivating a powerful engine of productivity and innovation, which is further fueling the advancement of its three-pillar ecosystems. Staying true to its user-centric vision, Haier strives to maximize human value in the AI era. As Chairman of the Board and CEO of Haier Group Zhou Yunjie noted, user needs are evolving from passive acceptance to active co-creation; this is driving Haier to radically reimagine user interaction. To meet this transformation, Haier is boldly redefining user interaction through intelligent collaboration. "Either evolve together with AI or be left behind," Zhou emphasized. Guided by this belief, Haier is embedding AI across all scenarios to empower people to build a future where technology adapts to humans. In the Smart Living Ecosystem, Haier has developed UhomeGPT, its proprietary foundational model equipped with three core capabilities: understanding, perception, and vitality. By creating AI-connected kitchen solutions that integrate appliances like refrigerators and ovens, Haier is redefining everyday life. In the Digital Economy Ecosystem, COSMOPlat has independently developed a lightweight industrial large model—CosmoGPT, supporting functions such as intelligent Q&A, code generation, and decision-making. Haier's continued rise in the Kantar BrandZ Top 100 reflects not only its brand strength but also the growing influence of Chinese brands on the global stage. Through its ecosystem brand strategy and ongoing AI transformation, Haier is setting a new benchmark for innovation in the age of intelligent connectivity.

This milestone not only highlights Haier's sustained brand momentum but also reinforces its leadership as the only Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem brand to be listed in the global ranking for seven consecutive years. Haier Consolidates Its Position as One of the Most Valuable Global Brands and the Only IoT Ecosystem Brand in the World Recognized as one of the world's most authoritative brand valuation rankings, Kantar BrandZ combines rigorous financial analysis with in-depth consumer insights across 54 markets. The total brand value of this year's Global Top 100 reached a record USD 10.7 trillion, reflecting a 29% annual growth. Among those listed, Haier's continued rise reflects its ecosystem-driven strategy and user-centric innovation in the global marketplace. In the 2025 ranking, Apple retained its No.1 position for the fourth year in a row with a brand value of USD 1.3 trillion. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and NVIDIA followed in the top five. Reflecting a long-term growth trajectory, Chinese brands have doubled their value over the past 20 years, now accounting for 6% of the total brand value in the Global Top 100. Haier's continued rise in the Kantar BrandZ Global Top 100 reflects the growing strength and adaptability of its ecosystem brand strategy, which is built around three pillars: Smart Living Ecosystem, Comprehensive Health Industry Ecosystem, and Digital Economy Industry Ecosystem. In the age of IoT, Haier has moved beyond traditional product-making to create interconnected ecosystems shaped by user co-creation and intelligent integration. For Smart Living, Haier Smart has advanced from traditional appliances to intelligent, connected living experiences, aiming to become the world's most valuable home ecosystem brand. In Comprehensive Health, Haier has formed a full-spectrum health ecosystem spanning life science, clinical medicine, and biotechnology. With rapid expansion over the past five years, its healthcare business has become a national industry leader. Also, Haier's Digital Economy Ecosystem, powered by the COSMOPlat industrial internet platform, is unlocking new productivity engines and enabling sustainable transformation across industries. "We have witnessed the ups and downs of brands over the past 20 years. Haier has truly evolved from a brand in Qingdao, to a brand in China, then to a global brand, and now to an ecosystem brand. Now, it has truly established itself as an excellent localised world-class brand," said Doreen Wang, Kantar Greater China CEO and Global Chair of Kantar BrandZ. Haier's seven-year presence in the BrandZ Global Top 100 is not only a reflection of its enduring brand strength, but also a testament to China's growing role in shaping the future of global value creation. As AI continues to reshape global industries, Haier has announced 2025 as the inaugural year of its full-scale AI applications. By embedding AI across every facet of its operations, Haier is cultivating a powerful engine of productivity and innovation, which is further fueling the advancement of its three-pillar ecosystems. Staying true to its user-centric vision, Haier strives to maximize human value in the AI era. As Chairman of the Board and CEO of Haier Group Zhou Yunjie noted, user needs are evolving from passive acceptance to active co-creation; this is driving Haier to radically reimagine user interaction. To meet this transformation, Haier is boldly redefining user interaction through intelligent collaboration. "Either evolve together with AI or be left behind," Zhou emphasized. Guided by this belief, Haier is embedding AI across all scenarios to empower people to build a future where technology adapts to humans. In the Smart Living Ecosystem, Haier has developed UhomeGPT, its proprietary foundational model equipped with three core capabilities: understanding, perception, and vitality. By creating AI-connected kitchen solutions that integrate appliances like refrigerators and ovens, Haier is redefining everyday life. In the Digital Economy Ecosystem, COSMOPlat has independently developed a lightweight industrial large model—CosmoGPT, supporting functions such as intelligent Q&A, code generation, and decision-making. Haier's continued rise in the Kantar BrandZ Top 100 reflects not only its brand strength but also the growing influence of Chinese brands on the global stage. Through its ecosystem brand strategy and ongoing AI transformation, Haier is setting a new benchmark for innovation in the age of intelligent connectivity.

iQIYI expands MENA presence with MENA Branch launch and local partnership, elevating Chinese storytelling worldwide
BEIJING, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- iQIYI, China's leading online entertainment platform, has taken two major steps recently to deepen its presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, signaling continued ambition in the overseas market. On May 11, the company signed a content partnership with Egypt's leading Arabic streaming platform WATCH IT. Three days after, it officially launched iQIYI MENA Branch in Dubai, marking a stronger operational foothold in the region. Grounded in extensive market research, these moves are part of iQIYI's broader localization strategy, aimed at amplifying Chinese storytelling abroad while integrating more regional content into its global ecosystem. The company has identified MENA as a market with a long history and huge potential, driven by a rising demand for digital entertainment. iQIYI Content Partnership Signing Ceremony in Cairo Under the new partnership, WATCH IT will stream a curated slate of iQIYI's premium Chinese-language films and shows — including top-rated series such as "Road Home" and "Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty" — through its established regional network. In return, iQIYI's main platform will feature WATCH IT's original humanities documentary series "Mother of the World," which draws upon archaeological evidence to showcase the development of ancient Egyptian civilization. iQIYI International will also introduce WATCH IT's select Arabic-language original content, enriching its overseas content ecosystem. "WATCH IT is deeply rooted in the Egyptian and Middle Eastern markets, with robust production and distribution capabilities," said Zhaonan WANG, vice president and editor-in-chief of iQIYI. "Through this collaboration, we hope to better serve MENA audiences and use film and television as a bridge for cultural exchange." iQIYI MENA Branch Opening Ceremony in Dubai With the new branch launched in Dubai, iQIYI continues to better serve local customers. With a content strategy tailored to local tastes, iQIYI has curated a dedicated MENA content library featuring Chinese-language dramas, movies, animation, and variety shows adapted to local customs. The platform endeavors to continue optimizing the playback experience for MENA's network environment and is in discussion with local telecom operators to extend viewing options. In addition to the WATCH IT partnership, iQIYI has also collaborated with evision, the media and entertainment arm of e&, since June 2014 to distribute over 20 popular Chinese dramas, animations, and movies to MENA viewers via evision's free streaming service STARZ ON. Speaking in Dubai, Xianghua YANG, president of iQIYI's Movie & Overseas Business Group, noted the key support of ongoing collaborations with local partners in advancing the company's continued development in MENA. With the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia as its core, iQIYI aims to gradually cover the Gulf region. The launch of iQIYI MENA Branch in Dubai further strengthens the platform's global footprint, following the debut of its international website, iQ.com, and iQIYI International App in 2019, as well as the opening of its international headquarters in Singapore in 2020. Since then, the company has established four key operational regions — Southeast Asia, North America, Japan and South Korea, and MENA — as it strives to become the home for beloved Asian content for audiences worldwide. Today, iQIYI's content reaches audiences in over 190 countries and regions. iQIYI International currently supports user interface and subtitles in 12 languages, including English, Thai, Indonesian, Korean, Spanish, and Arabic.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results Total revenues were RMB5,479.0 million (US$755.0 million) compared with total revenues of RMB5,024.0 million in the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to the rise of number of orders resulting from rise in the average monthly number of transacting users and higher monthly order frequency, and new opened frontline fulfillment stations with density and market penetration improved in East China.

Product Revenues were RMB5,386.5 million (US$742.3 million) compared with product revenues of RMB4,944.3 million in the same quarter of 2024.

General and administrative expenses were RMB112.9 million (US$15.6 million), an increase of 7.5% from RMB105.0 million in the same quarter of 2024, mainly due to the increase of staff cost. Product development expenses were RMB198.0 million (US$27.3 million), an increase of 2.4% from RMB193.3 million in the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to the increase of staff cost.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income margin, non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP net income per share, basic and diluted, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges and do not correlate to any operating activity trends. 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, cash flows or liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flows 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 the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this announcement.

The executive further stated that the global economy is now entering the "Giga Data Center Age", where data is the "New Oil", making it the most valuable resource that requires data centers for processing. "Data centers will be the heart of the new economy" the CP Group CEO emphasized. Mr. Bayo Ogunlesi, Founding Partner, Chairman, and CEO of GIP, and Senior Managing Director at BlackRock, expressed that "The growth of data consumption and AI requires significant amounts of private capital to fund investments to help the world's leading data center developers and operators provide this essential infrastructure to their customers," said Bayo Ogunlesi.

We are confident that GIP, with its expertise in managing and investing in global infrastructure, will enhance True IDC's capability to fully expand its business across ASEAN.
