3 Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Revenue was US$218.8 million, representing an increase of 10.0% from US$198.9 million in the same period of 2025. • Revenue from Haidilao restaurant operations was US$197.8 million, representing an increase of 4.6% from US$189.1 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) significantly improved operational performance at Haidilao restaurants driven by our ongoing operational optimization initiatives, with higher overall average table turnover rate 1 and increased customer traffic, further strengthening brand influence; and (ii) continued expansion of the restaurant network, resulting in a year-over-year increase in the total number of restaurants. • Revenue from delivery business was US$7.6 million, representing an increase of 105.4% from US$3.7 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) the continuous optimization of delivery offerings based on market demand, including product innovation and promotional initiatives; and (ii) the expansion of delivery channels and strengthened collaborations with local food delivery platforms. • Revenue from other business was US$13.4 million, representing an increase of 119.7% from US$6.1 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was mainly driven by (i) the increasing popularity of hot pot condiment products and Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products among local customers and retailers; and (ii) the incubation of secondary branded restaurants under the “Pomegranate Plan ” through diversification into multiple business concepts. Raw materials and consumables used were US$74.7 million, representing an increase of 10.5% from US$67.6 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by (i) business expansion, in line with the Company ’s revenue growth; and (ii) increased sales of hot pot condiment products, Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products, and the expansion of the secondary branded restaurants. As a percentage of revenue, raw materials and consumables used increased to 34.1% in the second quarter of 2026 from 34.0% in the same period of 2025. Staff costs were US$75.0 million, representing an increase of 6.7% from US$70.3 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increased number of employees to support the continued expansion of our restaurant network and enhance customer experience; (ii) ongoing investment in central support functions to strengthen management capabilities and operational efficiency, and (iii) higher statutory minimum wages in certain countries where we operated. As a percentage of revenue, staff costs decreased to 34.3% in the second quarter of 2026 from 35.3% in the same period of 2025. Income from operation 3 was US$8.1 million, representing an increase of 118.9% from US$3.7 million in the same period of 2025. Income from operation margin 4 was 3.7%, compared to 1.9% in the same period of 2025. This increase in income from operation margin 4 was mainly attributable to (i) improved operational efficiency resulting from ongoing operating cost optimization initiatives; and (ii) positive operating leverage driven by revenue growth.

4 Loss for the period was US$1.9 million, compared to a profit of US$16.4 million in the same period of 2025. This change was mainly due to an increase in net foreign exchange loss of US$20.6 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025, which was primarily attributable to foreign exchange fluctuations, particularly the depreciation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar. Basic and diluted net loss per share were both approximating nil, compared to a basic and diluted net profit per share of US$0.03 in the same period of 2025.
