CHANGZHOU, China, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jin Medical International Ltd. (NASDAQ:ZJYL) (“Jin Medical”, and together with all its subsidiaries, the “Company”), a NASDAQ-listed leading provider of rehabilitation medical equipment hosted a CEO Fireside Chat on February 2, 2026 where the CEO shared some insights into the Company’s recent strategic priorities and long-term growth considerations.

The following questions were prepared by the Company and addressed by the Company’s CEO, Dr. Erqi Wang during the conversation. Certain statements made during the discussion were forward-looking, and the Company provided a cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements prior to the start of the conversation.

1. Reverse Split

Question： At Jin Medical’s recent extraordinary general meeting, shareholders were asked to approve a proposal authorizing the Company’s board of directors to implement future reverse stock splits at specified ratios. Many investors view reverse splits as a compliance-driven move. What’s your views on that?

Dr. Wang： I have observed reverse splits being often associated with compliance considerations, and we don’t shy away from that reality.

In addition to potentially enabling us to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continuing listing standards, we view the reverse split as a strategic reset point. We hope that It will allow us to realign our capital structure with the Company’s long-term fundamentals and improve market perception about our competitiveness. We hope it can be something more than just short-term price mechanics.

2. Strategic Plan to Long-Term Value Creation

Question: How is management thinking about the Company’s priorities going forward, particularly in terms of execution, resource allocation and short-term and long-term operational focus? 

Dr. Wang:  Going forward, there are a few things in our priorities.

First, clear and consistent market communication. We intend to communicate our progress more frequently based on strategic and development goals and operational milestones, rather than short-term narratives.

Second, disciplined capital allocation. Our priority is to invest in manufacturing capability, product certification, and market expansion where we believe the return potential is strong, while maintaining prudent balance sheet management.

Third, we take a long-term oriented perspective and we plan to actively communicate that perspective to our shareholders — recognizing the industry cycle, the scale and duration of our manufacturing investments, and the time required to scale regulated medical products.

3. 2026–2027 Outlook

Question: Looking ahead to 2026 and 2027, can you share managements’ current primary objectives?

Dr. Wang:   Our 2026-2027 objectives are driven by three goals:

• Broader commercialization following product certifications
• Manufacturing scale-up and cost normalization
• Expansion into regional and international markets

Underlying our assumptions is a disciplined approach to growth — prioritizing returns that we believe are repeatable and strengthen our operational stability over pursuing rapid growth that may be inconsistent or unsustainable.

4. Operating Leverage

Question: How should investors think about operating leverage? Where do you see the greatest opportunities to improve efficiency?

Dr. Wang: The most significant opportunities lie in manufacturing efficiency, supply chain integration, and product mix optimization. As fixed costs are absorbed across higher volumes and automation improves consistency, we believe margins can expand in a disciplined and sustainable manner.

5. Chuzhou New Factory – Strategic Importance

Questions: The Chuzhou new factory is a major investment for Jin Medical. Can you walk us through its strategic role — in terms of capacity expansion, cost structure, automation, and long-term competitiveness?

Dr. Wang: The Chuzhou facility is a cornerstone of our long-term manufacturing strategy. It is expected to launch full capacity production by the end of April 2026.

It is designed to support scalable capacity, improved automation, and tighter quality control. Over time, we believe it will lower unit costs, enhance production flexibility, and strengthen our ability to serve both domestic and international markets competitively.

6. Chuzhou Factory Timeline

Question: What is the expected timeline for ramp-up at the Chuzhou facility?

Dr. Wang: The ramp-up will be gradual and disciplined. Initial production will focus on selected product lines, followed by broader capacity utilization.

7. Industry Outlook

Question: From your perspective, how do you see the industry evolving over the next three to five years?

Dr. Wang: Over the next three to five years, we see strong structural demand driven by aging populations, rehabilitation needs, and rising healthcare quality expectations.

At the same time, the industry is moving toward higher standards in compliance, manufacturing, and technology integration — areas where scale, execution, and discipline matter.

8. US–China Relations & Risk Management

Question：US–China relations remain an important variable for global manufacturing companies. How does management assess the potential impact on Jin Medical, and what steps are being taken to manage geopolitical and supply chain risks?

Dr. Wang： We view geopolitical risk as a factor to be managed.

Our approach focuses on supply chain diversification, regional manufacturing flexibility, and regulatory compliance across markets. We believe these steps help ensure resilience regardless of external policy changes.

GENEVA, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DLG (Digital Luxury Group) today announces LuxuryIQ MCP, the first Model Context Protocol integration designed specifically for the luxury industry.

The integration gives luxury executives natural-language access to 1.4 billion data points — proprietary and public intelligence backed by two decades of DLG expertise. It connects directly to ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini Enterprise. The result: strategic analysis that previously took weeks, delivered in minutes — grounded in verified data, not AI guesswork.

Addressing AI Adoption Barriers

The USD 38 billion business intelligence industry has largely overlooked luxury’s specialised requirements. DLG’s recent State of AI in Luxury study, surveying over 250 luxury executives, revealed that while 71% agree AI adoption cannot be delayed, 38% cite data fragmentation as their biggest barrier, and 32% report a lack of AI-specific talent. LuxuryIQ MCP addresses these barriers by making trusted market intelligence accessible through simple conversation.

How It Works

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard allowing AI assistants to securely connect to external data sources. LuxuryIQ MCP connects DLG’s proprietary databases — social media performance, advertising activity, search demand, retail and secondary market pricing (grey market, pre-owned), and competitive intelligence — directly to the AI tools teams already use, eliminating the hallucination risk of generic AI.

The platform monitors over 185 luxury brands across watches, jewellery, fashion, and beauty in 64 markets.

“Luxury brands that move first on AI-powered intelligence will outpace competitors still waiting days for analyst reports,” says Pablo Mauron, Managing Partner at DLG. “LuxuryIQ MCP makes that advantage accessible today.”

LuxuryIQ MCP is hosted on infrastructure provided by Ogment, and is rolling out to DLG’s enterprise clients beginning Q1 2026.

About DLG

Privately held, DLG (Digital Luxury Group) combines two decades of luxury expertise with 1.4 billion proprietary data points — the foundation of its LuxuryIQ platform. The company serves 80+ enterprise clients from Geneva, Shanghai, and New York.

The list of Top 10 News Stories on 2025 Lancang-Mekong Cooperation was officially released on the evening of February 4 (Beijing time) in Luang Prabang, Laos, highlighting key achievements and milestones of cooperation among the six Lancang-Mekong countries over the past year.

The release event was attended by Yu Yunquan, Vice President of China International Communications Group (CICG), Khammone Chanthachith, Deputy Head the Propaganda and Training Commission of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party Central Committee and Vice President of the Central Theoretical Council of the Party, Khamla Lianpadit, Deputy Secretary of the Luang Prabang Provincial Party Committee, Cai Xiangrong, Executive Deputy Director of the Publicity Department of the CPC Yunnan Provincial Committee, Zhang Sheping, Chinese Consul General in Luang Prabang, and Pongdong Paxaphacdy, Consul General of Laos in Kunming. Wang Dexin, Counselor of the Department of Asian Affairs of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, addressed the event via video link.

More than 200 representatives from China and the Mekong countries, including experts and scholars, participated in the event.

In his remarks, Yu Yunquan said that in 2025, Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) made notable progress in areas including connectivity, economic development, people-to-people exchanges and security governance. The release of the annual top ten news stories, he noted, serves as a vivid record of these achievements and reflects the shared confidence of the six LMC countries in advancing cooperation and common development. He called for closer media collaboration, deeper cultural exchanges and innovative approaches to digital humanities cooperation to strengthen the Lancang-Mekong narrative.

Khammone Chanthachith said that the LMC mechanism has completed its first decade, during which it has made tangible contributions to Laos’ socio-economic development and the deepening of Laos-China friendship. Media cooperation, he added, has helped build a solid public foundation for the Laos-China community with a shared future. The release of the Top 10 News Stories on 2025 Lancang-Mekong Cooperation forms part of activities marking the 65th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Laos and China and reflects joint efforts to promote dialogue among civilizations.

Khamla Lianpadit highlighted the role of the China-Laos Railway in boosting tourism, employment and heritage conservation in Luang Prabang. He said people-to-people ties remain a solid foundation for bilateral relations and expressed hope for expanded cooperation with China in culture, industry and youth exchanges, particularly through more community-based and youth-oriented programs.

In his video address, Wang Dexin described the LMC as an exemplar and a “golden platform” for regional cooperation. Over the past decade, he said, leaders of the six countries have provided strategic guidance, advancing both bilateral and multilateral efforts to build a community with a shared future between China and the Mekong countries.

The newly released top 10 news stories offer a vivid reflection of the tangible outcomes achieved over the past year, he noted. Looking ahead, China will continue to work with Mekong countries to expand cooperation in connectivity, industrial and supply chains, artificial intelligence and green development, while promoting the continued progress of the Lancang-Mekong community with a shared future.

The event unveiled the Top 10 News Stories on 2025 Lancang-Mekong Cooperation through a video presentation. The selected stories highlight achievements in head-of-state diplomacy, ministerial meetings on foreign affairs and law enforcement security, advancements in water resources cooperation, the development of the Lancang-Mekong Innovation Corridor, growing trade between China and Mekong countries, regional railway construction, public health initiatives, youth scientific cooperation and local government exchanges.

Participants agreed that diversified platforms and innovative communication approaches are essential to telling the story of Lancang-Mekong cooperation and fostering broader dialogue, with a view to building a closer Lancang-Mekong community with a shared future.

The annual Top 10 News Stories on 2025 Lancang-Mekong Cooperation are jointly selected by CICG Center for Asia-Pacific, Yunnan International Communication Center for South and Southeast Asia, and mainstream media from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. First launched six years ago, the initiative aims to review achievements, share experience and promote exchanges among governments, businesses, academia, agriculture and media across the Lancang-Mekong region. A tea cultural activity was also held during the release event, using tea as a medium to promote friendship and cultural exchange.
