Mr. Qizhou Wu, Chief Executive Officer of CAAS, commented, “The 2025 year was marked by higher sales growth, improved profitability, strengthened finances, higher cash flow from operations and organizational changes. Our traditional hydraulic steering products grew by 12.6% in 2025 as our more advanced electric power steering (“EPS”) grew by 25.5%. Domestically, our steering product sales benefitted as Chinese branded vehicles continued to experience higher sales and capture more market share.”
“Our strategy of selling a broad portfolio of steering products into multiple markets resulted in a range of sales growth both domestically and internationally. In our major market segments, we achieved higher sales in all except for sales to Chery Auto. Our operations in Brazil reported stronger sales growth and demand in North America improved. The high quality and performance enhancements of our steering products provide the impetus to be a tier-1 supplier to large global OEM customers in North America, Europe, Asia and South America.”
“Improved profitability reflected the ongoing success of our transition to higher technology-focused steering products and improved manufacturing activities. In 2025, our Jingzhou Henglong subsidiary won its first R-EPS product order from a large, well-known European automobile producer. Also, Shashi Jiulong’s L2+ standard electro-hydraulic steering system entered mass production in 2025. This system utilizes cutting-edge electro-hydraulic control technology; a power steering system used in heavy-duty vehicles that utilizes both hydraulic power and electronic controls to assist with steering. The Company also launched its active rear-wheel steering using its ball screw and nut mechanisms to provide the ability to adapt steering strategies to different vehicle speeds, boosting our ADAS capabilities. Another subsidiary, Hyoseong (Wuhan) Motion Mechatronics System Co. Ltd., finalized its new 115–platform steering motor production line, to support the CAAS eRCB commercial vehicle program. Our Hubei Henglong subsidiary entered into a strategic cooperation with KYB-UMW Sdn Bhd in Malaysia to develop a regional manufacturing and supply system for ASEAN markets. In 2025, our subsidiary, Shashi Jiulong Power Steering Gears Co., Ltd (“Shashi Jiulong”), won customer awards and accolades from two major vehicle OEM customers, Beiqi Foton Motor, and Shaanxi Automobile Heavy Truck.”
“In September 2025, we announced the completion of our merger to redomicile the Company as a Cayman Islands company. We believe this action will pave the way for CAAS to better position itself as a global company as this move enables us to shift resources and focus more on operations, product development and global sales. Part of our changes will include reporting sales and operational results on a six-month reporting cycle.”
Mr. Jie Li, Chief Financial Officer of CAAS, commented, “Our record sales and net profits generated much higher cash flow from operations and free cash flow in 2025. Cash and cash equivalents, pledged cash and short-term investments and long-term time deposit rose to $256.7 million at year end with net cash approaching $169.7 million. We look forward to reaping the savings, greater flexibility and benefits of our redomiciliation.”

In the fourth quarter of 2025, net sales increased by 21.4% to $229.2 million compared to $188.7 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Additionally, export sales increased during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Gross profit increased by 79.8% to $53.0 million from $29.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 rose to 23.1% compared to 15.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to changes in product mix.

Fiscal Year 2025
Net sales increased by 17.6% to an annual record of $765.7 million in 2025, compared to $650.9 million in 2024. This increase was mainly due to higher sales and production of passenger vehicles in China, increased vehicle export sales, and commercial vehicle sales in China increasing by approximately 10.9% year-over-year in 2025. Total sales of the Company’s EPS systems increased by 25.5% year-over-year and sales of the traditional steering products increased by 12.6% year-over-year.

Net gain on other sales in 2025 was $3.6 million compared to $4.3 million in 2024.
Selling expenses rose by 15.9% year-over-year to $20.7 million in 2025 from $17.9 million in 2024, mainly due to an increase in marketing and office expenses offsetting lower other expenses. Selling expenses continued to represent 2.7% of net sales in 2025 and 2024.
G&A expenses increased by 7.0% year-over-year to $29.7 million in 2025, compared to $27.7 million in 2024. G&A expenses represented 3.9% of net sales in 2025, compared to 4.3% of net sales in 2024. This expense increase was mainly due to higher personnel and other expenses.
R&D expenses increased by 63.0% year-over-year to $45.1 million in 2025, compared to $27.6 million in 2024. Higher R&D expenses reflected increased personnel expenses due to an acceleration in R&D activities including more investment in traditional product upgrades, advancing EPS technologies and miscellaneous research expenses. R&D expenses were 5.9% of net sales in 2025, compared to 4.2% of net sales in 2024.
Operating income increased by 33.2% year-over-year to $53.6 million in 2025, compared to $40.3 million in 2024. The increase in operating income was mainly due to higher sales and gross profit.

Net financial income was $2.4 million in 2025, compared to net financial expense of $0.09 million in 2024. This increase in financial income of $2.4 million was primarily due to an increase in foreign exchange gains due to foreign exchange volatility.
Income before income tax expenses and equity in earnings of affiliated companies increased by 39.1% year-over-year to $61.4 million in 2025 compared with $44.1 million in 2024. The change was primarily due to higher operating income in 2025.
Income tax expense was $11.6 million in 2025 compared to $5.9 million in 2024. This increase was mainly due to higher income before income tax expenses and equity in earnings of affiliated companies, and the effective tax rate in 2025.
