All information provided in this press release is as of today's date, unless otherwise stated, and AOS undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures for our historical performance, including non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss), diluted earnings per share ('EPS') and EBITDAS. These supplemental measures exclude, among other items, share-based compensation expenses, legal and professional fees related to government investigation, amortization of purchased intangible, gain on change of the equity interest in the JV Company, income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments and equity method investment loss from equity investee. We also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures in our financial guidance for the next quarter, including non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses. We believe that these historical and forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items and expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results or do not reflect our normal business operations. In addition, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the terms used in this press release, such as non-GAAP net income (loss) or non-GAAP operating expenses, do not have a standardized meaning. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. In addition, we included the amount of income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments in the non-GAAP net income (loss) reconciliation table for all periods presented as management believes that such non-GAAP presentation provides useful information to investors, even though the amounts are not significant. We seek to compensate for the limitation of our non-GAAP presentation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures both in the text in this press release and in the tables attached hereto. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Your Next Car Could Cost $10,000 More due to Trump's Automaker Tariffs
President Trump's new 25% tariffs on cars and car parts are about to make your next new car significantly more expensive. Experts warn that these tariffs could raise prices by as much as $10,000, putting a hefty dent in your wallet if you're planning to buy a vehicle anytime soon. Don't Miss Our End of Quarter Offers: Discover the latest stocks recommended by top Wall Street analysts, all in one place with Analyst Top Stocks. Make smarter investments with weekly expert stock picks from the Smart Investor Newsletter. Automakers Respond to Tariffs with Higher Costs Volkswagen (VWAGY) is already feeling the heat, adding an 'import fee' to its vehicles sold in the U.S., according to The Wall Street Journal. The company's memo to dealers explains that this will force them to either raise car prices or risk losing money. This move marks the beginning of a broader trend, as car manufacturers adjust to the new tariff landscape. Import fees and fewer dealer incentives are expected to push the cost of a new car higher. Bank of America Securities analyst John Murphy predicts that the industry could lose 3 million car sales annually as higher prices deter consumers. The average price of a new car in the U.S. is already approaching $50,000, and these tariff-induced price hikes will make the cost of ownership even steeper. Tariffs Impact Both Imports and Domestic Manufacturers While imported cars will bear the brunt of the tariff increases, domestic manufacturers aren't immune. Car parts from overseas will now be more expensive, making vehicles produced in the U.S. more costly as well. Companies like General Motors (GM) may need to raise prices on their Mexican-made models to stay competitive, potentially leading to an across-the-board price bump. Tariffs Drive Higher Car Prices and Shrink Dealer Incentives For now, car buyers will likely see little immediate change, as manufacturers and dealers work through their existing inventory. However, experts predict that these price hikes will unfold gradually over the next 6 to 12 months. Fewer incentives and higher base prices will push the cost of a new car even further out of reach for many Americans. The auto industry is bracing for a shift, and with it, potential changes in consumer demand. Whether higher prices will slow down car sales or if the industry can adjust to the new normal is still uncertain.

At 100% Qatar continues to lead in global Internet penetration
Doha: Qatar has continued to solidify its position as a global leader for Internet penetration, according to data from Worldostats, underscoring Qatar's commitment to technological advancement, infrastructure development, and digital inclusion, and positioning it as a leader in the Middle East and beyond. According to the 'Internet Penetration By Country: Global Comparison 2025' by Worldostats, one of the world's leading compendiums of comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date statistics and data about countries across the globe, Qatar have a 100 percent Internet penetration, alongside three other GCC countries, making the region the most Internet-penetrated globally. The Internet Penetration Rate corresponds to the percentage of the total population of a given country or region that uses the Internet. In the rankings by Worldostats, only four countries—Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain—have been able to achieve total and complete Internet penetration. The four GCC countries are joined by Iceland (99.86%), Kuwait (99.75%), Luxembourg (99.35%), Norway (99%), Brunei (98.97%), and Denmark (98.78%) to round up the top ten countries in the rankings. Worldostats noted that countries that top the list for Internet penetration share common traits, including substantial investments in technology, strong government support, and a commitment to providing widespread access. 'In the Middle East, countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have made internet access a priority, helping to transform their economies and societies through digital connectivity. Similarly, European countries like Iceland, Luxembourg, and Norway have built robust digital ecosystems supported by comprehensive infrastructure and policies that promote universal access,' it said. 'The high levels of internet penetration in these countries are not just about accessibility; they also focus on digital literacy and creating environments where technology is integrated into daily life. 'These nations have recognised the power of the internet to drive innovation, education, and economic development,' Worldostats added. Qatar's rise to prominence in Internet penetration reflects years of strategic investments in telecommunications infrastructure, government-led initiatives, and private sector innovation. The country's leadership recognized early on that widespread Internet access would be critical to achieving its long-term vision of becoming a knowledge-based economy. This vision aligns with the goals outlined in *Qatar National Vision 2030, which emphasizes sustainable development, human capital growth, and economic diversification. Several factors have contributed to Qatar's success in achieving near-universal Internet penetration, including advanced telecommunications infrastructure, government initiatives and policies, smart city development, youth engagement and education, as well as economic diversification efforts. Looking ahead, the continued expansion of internet penetration promises to unlock new opportunities and propel Qatar toward a brighter, more interconnected future. © Dar Al Sharq Press, Printing and Distribution.
