SHANGHAI, China,
Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) － Hesai Group (Nasdaq: HSAI; HKEX: 2525) (“Hesai” or the “Company”),
a Physical AI infrastructure company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 2026.
Management Remarks
“The third quarter
of 2026 marked another step in Hesai’s evolution into a full-stack infrastructure platform for Robotics and Physical AI,”
said Dr. Yifan “David” Li, Hesai’s Co-Founder and CEO. “Our lidar business remains a scaled, profitable cash
engine, with growth fueled by premium ET-series lidar wins with five leading global OEMs, including a top European automaker and Cadillac;
rising adoption of multi-lidar configurations in China and overseas; and new programs with Wuling and Chery that expand lidar into high-volume
mass-market vehicles and export markets. Meanwhile, in robotics, Hesai ranked No. 1 globally in the 2025 robotaxi lidar market with a
62% share, according to Yole Group. We also partnered with JD.com, China’s largest retailer by revenues, leveraging our 6D full-color
lidar and advanced perception capabilities to support its ambition to build the world’s largest robotics fleet.”
Dr. Li continued, “Our
Strategic Growth Initiatives (SGI) are rapidly taking shape as Hesai’s next growth engine, unlocking new opportunities across the
data and hardware infrastructure layers of Robotics and Physical AI. Launched globally in October, Kosmo, our 3D world data engine, transforms
real-world environments into high-fidelity, editable, AI-ready 3D assets. Within just months of demo shipments, this category-defining
innovation has already begun generating revenues and securing real-world deployments with best-in-class global players, including Pixar’s
RenderMan. Commercial traction spans robotics training, film and entertainment, cultural heritage, spatial navigation, and beyond. Our
robotic actuation modules – the robotic motion engine – also ramped up in volume sharply, with full-body modules joining
robotic hands in mass production and Q3 shipments surging 97% sequentially to 23,405 units. We’re just getting started in Physical
AI.”

third quarter of 2026 were made at the exchange rate of RMB6.7045 to US$1.00, the exchange
rate on September 30, 2026, set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve
Board. |
“The third quarter
of 2026 marked further progress in our growth strategy, as our core lidar business continued to scale profitably and SGI gained commercial
momentum. Third-quarter net revenues grew approximately 34% year-over-year to RMB1,068 million, supported by quarterly shipments of 729,673
lidar units and 23,405 robotic actuation modules, despite headwinds in the broader automotive market. SGI is scaling ahead of plan, with
revenues for the first nine months already surpassing our original full-year target of RMB100 million,” said Mr. Andrew Fan, Hesai’s
CFO. “Robotic actuation modules, which typically account for over 50% of a humanoid’s bill of materials, are ramping up rapidly,
with cumulative shipments reaching 35,295 units by Q3 quarter-end. Together with the new revenue stream from Kosmo, this supports our
reaffirmed 2026 SGI revenue guidance of RMB200 million to RMB300 million. As we gain further customer validation, we are stepping up
investment in SGI while maintaining financial discipline. We delivered net income of RMB81 million and our sixth consecutive quarter
of GAAP profitability. Our core lidar business, in particular, reported income from operations of RMB145 million in the third quarter,
up 88% year-over-year. Our ambition is clear: to become a leading infrastructure platform for the era of Robotics and Physical AI.”

the 3D World Data Engine |
| o | Successfully
launched Kosmo globally on October 14, 2026, an integrated hardware-software platform that
transforms physical environments into high-fidelity, AI-ready 3D data assets: |
| § | Kosmo
One: The world’s first 8K AI spatial camera2, integrating Hesai’s
ultra-high spatial resolution lidar to deliver 3D reconstruction with photorealistic visual
quality and millimeter-level geometric accuracy. |
| § | Kosmo
World: An AI-powered cloud platform that generates 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), mesh,
and depth data in a single reconstruction, at up to 5x the speed of comparable 3DGS solutions
and up to 200x the speed of manual 3D modeling. |
| o | Within
just months of initial demo shipments in July 2026, Kosmo began generating revenues under
a business model spanning hardware sales, platform subscriptions, and its 3D asset library.
It has also secured real-world deployments with global industry-leading players and gained
strong commercial traction in China and overseas. Key applications include: |
| § | Film

HSAI; HKEX: 2525) is a Physical AI infrastructure company. With a product portfolio spanning lidar, Kosmo spatial intelligence platform,
and robotic actuation modules, Hesai is the only company in the industry covering the full robotics chain of “see, understand,
and act” while achieving commercialization at scale. Leveraging full-stack proprietary ASIC capabilities and an integrated R&D-manufacturing

Palo Alto, and Stuttgart, and operates in-house factories in China and Thailand, with customers spanning more than 40 countries.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
To supplement Hesai’s
consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Hesai uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures
by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”): income/loss from operations excluding share-based compensation
expenses, net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, net income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based
compensation, and per ordinary share net income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation. The presentation
of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared
and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Hesai believes that these
non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based
compensation expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. Hesai believes that both management
and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting
future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Hesai’s historical
performance and liquidity. Hesai believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency
with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these
non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable
future a significant recurring expense in our business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information
regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP financial measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations
between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
