Revenue climbed 33.7% year over year to US$25.8 million

Gross profit soared 79.5% year over year to US$4.3 million, with improved margins

Total assets nearly tripled year over year, strengthening financial flexibility

Entered three new markets globally and acquired three IFM businesses, accelerating expansion and diversifying revenue streams

SINGAPORE, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) (“YY Group” or the “Company”), a global leader in on-demand workforce solutions and integrated facilities management (IFM), today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company delivered robust performances across its business segments, demonstrating competitive strength, execution excellence and rapid global expansion.

First Half 2025 Financial Highlights:

Total Revenues increased 33.7% to US$25.8 million, compared with US$19.3 million in the same period of 2024. The variance from the previously reported revenue estimate of US$29.4 million was due to a correction to revenue recognition related to a recently acquired business.[1] Gross profit increased by approximately 79.5% year over year to US$4.3 million, supported by greater business scale and disciplined execution. Gross profit margin reached 16.6%, improving from 12.3% in the same period of 2024.

  • Revenues from Manpower Services were US$9.6 million, an increase of 21.4% compared with US$7.9 million in the same period of 2024, driven by the successful scale-up of on-demand workforce solutions and continued global expansion. This segment’s gross profit margin was 16.7%, compared with 16.3% in the same period of 2024.
  • Revenues from IFM Services were US$14.5 million, an increase of 27.1% compared with US$11.4 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to continued contract procurement and business acquisitions. This segment’s gross profit margin was 12.6%, compared with 9.6% in the same period of 2024.
  • Revenues from Technology and Others, a business segment the Company added in 2025, were US$1.7 million. This segment’s gross profit margin was 49.4% in the first half of 2025.

The Company recorded an operating loss of US$7.7 million, primarily due to non-cash share-based compensation expense of US$3.6 million related to its 2023 and 2024 share incentive plans and an impairment loss on intangible assets of approximately $4.1 million. Excluding these items, underlying operational performance remained stable and in line with management expectations. As of June 30, 2025, YY Group maintained a positive working capital position of US$2.3 million, with cash balances of US$1.57 million and total assets of US$44.0 million, up from US$15.4 million six months ago.

Mr. Mike Fu, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of YY Group, commented, “YY Group is building an integrated workforce solutions and facilities management platform, and our strong performance in the first half of 2025 reflects meaningful progress in our growth strategy. During the period, we expanded our manpower business’s global footprint and broadened our IFM capabilities through multiple business acquisitions, rapidly increasing our scale. In our manpower segment, monthly average users of the YY Circle app rose 20%, demonstrating the growing reach of our tech-powered solutions. We also added over 80 new employers among top-tier companies in the hospitality and food and beverage sectors, strengthening our pipeline of high-quality, recurring revenue while attracting talent to our trained labor pool. Our IFM segment attracted more than 80 new clients, further diversifying our revenue base and creating new cross-selling opportunities. With a larger geographic presence, broadened service portfolio, and expanding partnerships, we are well-positioned to accelerate our growth trajectory in the coming quarters and deliver value to our stakeholders.”

Mr. Jason Phua, Chief Financial Officer of YY Group, added, “We delivered strong year-over-year revenue and gross profit growth in the first half of 2025, driven by solid execution across our business units and increasing contribution from newly added operations. The operating loss for the period was primarily attributable to non-cash share-based compensation expenses and impairment of intangible assets recognized following our recent acquisitions, and does not reflect the underlying strength of our core business. As we continue to scale rapidly, we expect improved operating leverage and greater cost efficiencies to strengthen profitability and support shareholder value.”

First Half 2025 Financial Results

Revenues were US$25.8 million in the first half of 2025, compared with US$19.3 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by accelerated growth across both Manpower and IFM Services.

Total operating expenses were US$12.0 million, representing an increase of 701.6% from US$1.5 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the issuance of share-based compensation related to the Company’s 2023 and 2024 share incentive plans and impairment loss on intangible assets.

Selling and marketing expenses were US$1.6 million, representing a 1066.1% increase from US$0.1 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to share-based compensation attributable to sales and marketing.

General and administrative expenses were US$7.1 million, representing a 173.2% increase from US$2.6 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to share-based compensation expenses.

[1] Subsequent to the release of estimated financial results for the first half of 2025 on September 8, 2025, the Company identified an error in the recognition of revenue related to an acquisition completed in April 2025. The initial 1H25 revenue estimate inadvertently included contributions from the acquired business as if the acquisition had been effective January 1, 2025. The corrected figures reflect revenue recognition beginning on the actual acquisition date. This adjustment does not affect underlying operational performance or cash flow, and comparative periods remain unchanged.

 

How the World’s Longest Highway Tunnel Conquers the Tianshan Mountains?

BEIJING, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On December 26, 2025, the 22.13-kilometer Tianshan Shengli Tunnel, the world’s longest highway tunnel, officially opened to traffic today, making traveling between northern and southern Xinjiang more convenient and shortening the journey from Urumqi to Korla from seven hours to three hours and a half.


How the World’s Longest Highway Tunnel Conquers the Tianshan Mountains?

Crossing 16 major fault zones under high ground stress, severe cold, and high altitude, the Tianshan Shengli Tunnel project represents a major engineering achievement for China.

To better introduce the Project, the three-episode short documentary series, The Youth Moving Mountains, co-produced by Xinjiang Radio and Television Station and Xufang International Media, CICG, captures this grand endeavor from an international perspective. Hosted by American presenter Jack Klumpp, the series delves deep into the tunnel, unfolding across three episodes: The Tunnelers, The Pioneers, and The Guardians. It showcases not only technical feats but also the spirit of the builders.

The episode The Pioneers is particularly compelling. Following the host to the No. 2 shaft worksite at an altitude of 3,613 meters, it focuses on a section director Dong Jialiang, who was born in 1990s. In the uninhabited extreme cold, he and his team started from scratch-transforming from novices into skilled leaders through determination and teamwork.

Phemex Upgrades RPI Ecosystem, Setting New Liquidity Benchmarks Across 210+ Pairs

APIA, Samoa, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Phemex, a user-first crypto exchange, has announced a major upgrade to its Retail Price Improvement (RPI) order system. By deepening strategic ties with top-tier institutional liquidity partners, the enhanced RPI ecosystem now delivers market-leading depth that significantly outperforms industry benchmarks.

Latest data from a comprehensive market audit conducted in late 2025 reveals that the RPI upgrade has triggered a massive surge in liquidity across Phemex’s core assets. Based on internal comparative research of public order book depth (±0.1% from mid-price) relative to top-tier exchange averages:

  • BTCUSDT: Liquidity depth is now 2x the standard industry benchmark.
  • ETHUSDT: Liquidity has reached a staggering 5x the average market liquidity.
  • SOLUSDT: Liquidity has climbed to 5.5x compared to high-performance market standards.
  • Top 12 Trading Pairs: Aggregate liquidity consistently tracks at 3x the baseline of top-tier exchange requirements.

RPI orders are specifically engineered as Maker orders for retail customers (non-API manual traders). This upgrade ensures a much denser order book and more aggressive pricing, narrowing spreads and providing “price improvement” that often exceeds the visible order book.

By ensuring that RPI orders interact exclusively with the retail maker liquidity — effectively bypassing high-frequency API algorithms — Phemex’s upgraded RPI has allowed the platform to maintain a competitive edge in liquidity across more than 210 trading pairs. This reinforces Phemex’s commitment to providing a transparent and high-performance environment where retail users can trade with the same precision and execution quality as institutional giants.

About Phemex
Founded in 2019, Phemex is a user-first crypto exchange trusted by over 10 million traders worldwide. The platform offers spot and derivatives trading, copy trading, and wealth management products designed to prioritize user experience, transparency, and innovation. With a forward-thinking approach and a commitment to user empowerment, Phemex delivers reliable tools, inclusive access, and evolving opportunities for traders at every level to grow and succeed.

Anycubic Opens Deposits for Kobra X, Following Formnext Debut of Its Next-Generation Entry-Level Multicolor FDM Printer

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Following its public debut at Formnext 2025, Anycubic today announced the opening of the deposit program for Kobra X, a new entry-level FDM 3D printer designed to make multi-color and multi-material printing more accessible to a broader range of users.

Anycubic‘s Newly Released Entry-Level Multicolor FDM Printer Kobra X
Anycubic‘s Newly Released Entry-Level Multicolor FDM Printer Kobra X

Unveiled alongside the company’s latest product lineup in Frankfurt, Kobra X reflects Anycubic’s continued focus on simplifying advanced desktop manufacturing workflows. As noted by 3D Printing Industry during Formnext, the company’s recent launches signal a clearer separation between entry-level and higher-performance systems, while placing greater emphasis on speed, material adaptability, and ease of use.

Kobra X positions itself within this strategy as an open-frame, single-nozzle multicolor printer aimed at users entering multi-color printing for the first time, without requiring external color support devices or complex system integration.

A New Standard for Entry-Level Multicolor: ACE GEN2 Architecture

At the core of Kobra X is Anycubic’s second-generation ACE (Anycubic Color Engine) architecture, which integrates four filament channels directly into the printhead and shortens the molten filament transition path to approximately 30 mm. Compared with external filament-swapping systems that rely on long retraction distances, this design allows color changes to occur over a much shorter travel range, improving efficiency during multicolor prints with frequent transitions.

In controlled internal tests using common 4-color models, Anycubic observed that ACE GEN2 can reduce color-switching time by approximately 30–50%, while lowering filament purge waste by a similar margin. Although results vary depending on model geometry, material combinations, and transition frequency, the shorter molten filament path generally enables faster, more material-efficient color changes in everyday multicolor printing scenarios, while preserving a single-nozzle workflow familiar to entry-level users.

Practical Multi-Material Capability: From PLA to TPU and PVA

Beyond color, Kobra X is designed to support multi-material printing within the same job. Through adaptive extrusion pressure control, the system can switch between materials with different mechanical properties, including combinations such as PLA with TPU (68D) or PLA with PVA.

This capability allows users to explore functional designs—such as flexible joints, soft-touch components, or soluble supports—without moving to dual-extrusion systems or enclosed industrial platforms. By keeping material switching within a single-nozzle architecture, Kobra X maintains a relatively straightforward setup while extending the range of applications available to entry-level users.

Kobra X is intended to be approachable for first-time multicolor users, while incorporating the standard hardware and firmware features expected from modern desktop FDM printers. These include automated bed leveling, motion and flow calibration, AI-assisted print monitoring, quiet operation modes, and a streamlined assembly and maintenance workflow.

Deposit Program Now Open

As of December 26, Anycubic has opened the deposit program for Kobra X via its official store. Customers can place a US$10 deposit, which will be applied as a US$30 discount toward the final purchase price at checkout.

About Anycubic

Founded in 2015, Anycubic is a global manufacturer of desktop 3D printers and materials, offering both FDM and resin solutions for makers, designers, engineers, and small-scale manufacturers. The company continues to focus on making advanced fabrication technologies more accessible through practical design and user-oriented innovation.

 

Across Borders, Against All Odds: Team Infinix Triumphs as “Chicken Dinner Victory Squad” at PMGC 2025

A testament to cross-border collaboration and the elite gaming performance of the Infinix GT 30 Pro

HONG KONG, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — During the2025 PUBG MOBILE SUPERSTARS UNITED event held in Bangkok, the Team Infinix, composed of renowned global content creators, delivered a stunning performance. In a high-stakes showdown, bolstered by the clutch performance of Uzbekistani player Yakudza and the powerful, stable performance of the Infinix GT 30 Pro, the team successfully secured the prestigious “Chicken Dinner Victory Squad” honor. This cross-cultural team not only showcased the power of international collaboration but also highlighted Infinix GT Series’ dedication to “Enjoyment Technology” that empowers players to achieve their esports dreams.

Breaks Barriers: GT 30 Pro Powers International Team to “Chicken Dinner” Success

The Team Infinix members included Captain Salim Al Badi from Saudi Arabia, Sikandar Nawaz from Pakistan, MODOX from Morocco, and Yakudza from Uzbekistan. This international alliance came together through their shared passion to challenge the global stage.

It is worth noting that Sikandar Nawaz and MODOX were ordinary PUBG MOBILE players before the competition, with no professional-level gaming experience, making their presence on the PMGC stage a challenge in itself. It was the mutual trust within the team, combined with the extreme experience provided by the Infinix GT 30 Pro, that allowed them to create a miracle in the top-tier competition.

At a critical moment during the match, the Team Infinix faced its most heart-stopping challenge: Yakudza and his teammate were ambushed by three enemies while driving. Though his teammate was quickly eliminated, Yakudza refused to give up. He was left alone on the battlefield, facing the impossible odds of one against three.

With composure and mastery over the GT 30 Pro, Yakudza pulled off an astonishing counter-attack. He engaged the three enemies in a fierce guerrilla fight, utilizing every piece of cover and the phone’s millisecond-level response speed to execute precise movements and shots. Ultimately, Yakudza successfully eliminated all his opponents, single-handedly reversing a sure defeat and securing the vital “Chicken Dinner” opportunity for the team.

The team was ecstatic and immensely surprised by Yakudza’s heroic performance and the reliability of the GT 30 Pro. The moment the Team Infinix name flashed on the screen symbolized not just a victory empowered by technology, but the profound enhancement of cross-border camaraderie in competitive sports.

GT 30 Pro, The Ultimate Aid: Yakudza’s Clutch Play Changes the Tide

Yakudza shared his deep impressions of the Infinix GT 30 Pro’s performance after the match. As a veteran user of the GT 30 Pro, he declared that the device’s extreme fluidity and stable, non-dropping frame rates were his secret weapon for the spectacular comeback.

“In those high-intensity final circles, if your phone overheats or lags, you’re finished. But my GT 30 Pro was like a reliable comrade,” Yakudza expressed excitedly. “Coupled with its cooling system, it truly maintained a steady frame rate throughout, allowing me to focus entirely on tactical execution instead of worrying about my equipment failing me.”

The GT 30 Pro’s ability to stay cool under pressure stems from Infinix’s professional esports hardware integration. It is powered by the high-performance MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chip, providing surging power. Even more critical is the comprehensive “Cooling System” created by Infinix: the 3D Vapour Cloud Chamber serves as its internal core, complemented externally by the innovative MagCharge Cooler and a compatible MagCase. Yakudza noted that upon attaching the magnetic fan, cooling efficiency is enhanced, and the exclusive Draco Mode automatically activates, ensuring high-efficiency cooling even during wireless charging.

Thanks to this comprehensive cooling system, the Dimensity 8350 Ultimate, and the combination of 512GB ROM and 12GB of RAM (expandable to 24GB), the Infinix GT 30 Pro is among the first smartphones in its price segment capable of maintaining a stable 120FPS(frames per second) throughout the day, earning it official endorsement for global PUBG MOBILE tournaments.

It was these technological advantages that allowed Yakudza to remain calm, execute with precision, and ultimately seize victory in the nick of time.

Enjoyment Beyond Expectations: The GT Series’ Commitment to Esports Future

This victory in a global top-tier esports event signifies a concrete step forward in Infinix’s strategic plan for the esports sector. Following the match, Captain Salim, a seasoned PUBG MOBILE player and a professional tech reviewer, shared his outlook on Infinix’s future technological direction, emphasizing hardware upgrades and AI integration: “In terms of hardware, a better processor combined with larger RAM will further enhance the esports experience… I am very much looking forward to Infinix integrating AI technology more deeply into the mobile experience.”

Complementing Salim’s technical foresight is the firsthand experience of a living legend in the scene: Bune Top. Known as “The Mighty Top,” he stands as the only player in the history of PUBG MOBILE esports to win two FMVP awards in Global Championships (PMGC 2022 with STE and PMGC 2025 with APG). Having reached the pinnacle of global competition using the GT series, Bune Top highlighted the synergy between aesthetics and performance, stating: “I really like the design of the Infinix.” When asked if he would suggest the GT30 Pro to the community, the two-time FMVP was definitive: “I would certainly recommend it to others,” endorsing the device for both casual and competitive players.
