On November 23, Hillstone Networks made an announcement stating that its self-developed ASIC security chip had recently undergone the crucial stage of mass production tape - out and return. Subsequently, it had been subjected to exhaustive testing and verification processes. The test outcomes revealed that the chip functioned flawlessly, with all performance metrics comfortably meeting the pre - established design requirements. Moreover, it was found to be in perfect harmony with the adaptation and application demands of Hillstone Networks' security products, just as anticipated.

The company is looking forward to launching the new generation of security products, which are integrated with this ASIC chip, for large - scale sales and distribution in the first quarter of 2026. It is worth noting that this launch is not expected to have a substantial influence on the company's financial performance in 2025. Nevertheless, there are several uncertainties surrounding the market demand, market penetration, and competitive environment for these new - generation security products. As a result, it remains challenging to accurately forecast the precise impact on the company's performance in 2026 and subsequent years.
