Robo.ai Inc. Reports First Half 2026 Financial Results

Shareholders' Equity Swings to US$95.8 Million from a US$116.1 Million Deficit

DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Robo.ai Inc. (Nasdaq: AIIO) ("Robo.ai" or the "Company"), a UAE-based Nasdaq-listed company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

The Company views the first half of 2026 as a structural reset and the beginning of its next phase of development. The disposal of its legacy ICONIQ business and the completion of two acquisitions divested the majority of its legacy liabilities, returned shareholders' equity to positive territory, and established a foundation of technology and operating assets for future growth.

"The first half of 2026 put Robo.ai on a new footing, and we made meaningful progress across our key priorities," said Benjamin Zhai, Chief Executive Officer of Robo.ai. "Alongside these transactions, we advanced the localization of our operations in the United Arab Emirates, reorganized our business structure around the acquired assets, and clarified our commercial model and development priorities. We are now focusing on integrating the acquired businesses and realizing their commercial potential. We believe that these efforts position Robo.ai to capture emerging opportunities as these industries continue to develop."
