HONG KONG, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yeahka Limited (“Yeahka” or the “Company,” Stock Code: 9923.HK), a leading payment-based technology platform, is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (the “Period” or “1H26”).

Business and Financial Summary

In the first half of 2026, the Company enhanced its commercialization rate and optimized its customer mix, resulting in a year-on-year increase of approximately 24.9% in the gross profit of the payment business to RMB244.0 million, thereby driving the overall gross profit margin up from 23.3% to 28.8%. During the Period, the overall net profit amounted to RMB41.9 million, marking the best half-year profit margin since 2023, and achieving year-on-year profit growth in the first half of the year for four consecutive years;Benefiting from localized operations and expanded cooperation with strategic partners, the businesses in Hong Kong (China), Macao (China) and overseas regions hit record highs across multiple indicators. In the first half of 2026, the relevant businesses recorded gross payment volume (GPV) of approximately RMB6 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 293.8%. The fee rate rose to 63.1 basis points, while its profit contribution of the overall payment business gradually increases, which will be targeted to approximately 50% in the next three years. We have obtained a digital currency payment license in Arizona, the United States, and have completed product research and development, with plans to commence our online payment business in the United States and Asia. There remains significant room for growth in the penetration of non-cash payments and value-added services in overseas regions, coupled with relatively high fee rates and gross profit margins, this will bring greater market opportunities and profit contributions to the Company in the long term;Value-added services beyond payments also continued to be commercialized. In the first half of 2026, the transaction value of AI-generated video content of the merchant solutions increased by 207% year-on-year to RMB244.1 million, and relevant products were also recognized with multiple awards for marketing creativity and performance breakthroughs awarded by platforms such as ByteDance;The net profit and gross merchandise volume (GMV) of the in-store e-commerce business reached a new record high in the first half of 2026, with GMV exceeding RMB3.2 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of over 75%. Revenue increased by 21.2% year-on-year to RMB31.1 million, gross profit increased by 26% year-on-year to RMB22.0 million, and gross profit margin increased from 68.0% to 70.7%, which will continue to support domestic and overseas commercialization and profit growth;The Group has continued to enhance efficiency through our digital workforce and the optimization of its R&D processes. In the first half of 2026, administrative and R&D expenses decreased by 8.1% year-on-year, reflecting the continued contribution of innovative technologies to cost control. The deeper integration of AI into business processes will continue to enhance the Group’s long-term efficiency and core competitiveness.

Mr. Luke Liu, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the first half of 2026, we continued to advance commercialization and enhance profitability. Overseas expansion, product innovation and disciplined cost management collectively contributed to further improvement in the quality of our earnings and strengthened our confidence in delivering sustainable long-term profitability. In domestic payments, we maintained our leading position while continuing to optimize our customer mix, deepen our presence among higher-value industries and brand merchants, and broaden the use of AI across operations to enhance efficiency and profit resilience. At the same time, we are accelerating our global expansion and further developing an integrated suite of payment and merchant value-added solutions to serve merchants across different markets. AI is also becoming more deeply embedded across our business: externally, helping merchants increase revenue, reduce costs and improve efficiency; and internally, enhancing our R&D and operational efficiency. Together, these initiatives are reinforcing our long-term competitive advantages. We are also pleased to declare our first interim dividend since listing, reflecting our confidence in Yeahka’s long-term prospects and solid financial position.”

Mr. Vincent Chan, Head of Corporate Development & Capital Markets, added, “We remain highly confident in the long-term growth opportunities in global payments. Our overseas strategy is not limited to travel-related payments or any single cross-border payment corridor. Instead, we are addressing the broader day-to-day payment needs between local merchants and consumers across markets globally, giving our business model a significantly larger addressable market and greater scalability. Yeahka’s differentiation lies in our comprehensive product suite spanning payments, merchant solutions and in-store e-commerce, and in our ability to integrate value-added services with payments to provide merchants with a truly one-stop solution. We continue to strengthen our international talent, products, channels and partner network as we expand across global merchant acquiring, online payments and emerging agentic payment scenarios. We have obtained a digital currency payment license in Arizona, the United States, and completed related product R&D, while continuing to advance our service and licensing footprint in key markets. The application of AI is also becoming an increasingly important part of our service ecosystem, helping merchants improve customer acquisition, transaction conversion and user retention. As we further build out our local teams, localized products and global partner network, we believe our proven operating model can be replicated across more markets, further strengthening Yeahka’s global competitiveness and long-term growth potential.”

Outlook

Mr. Luke Liu concluded, “Looking ahead, we will accelerate our global expansion while consolidating our leading position in the domestic market and continuing to improve commercialization and profitability. We will replicate our proven international operating model in more high-growth markets, expand across offline acquiring, online payments and agentic payment scenarios, and use AI to help merchants grow revenue, reduce costs and improve efficiency. Internally, AI will further enhance organizational and R&D efficiency; externally, we will continue to deliver higher-value products and experiences while deepening the synergies between payments and value-added services. We believe these initiatives will further strengthen Yeahka’s long-term profitability and create sustainable value for all stakeholders.”

Palmetto Publishing Releases Dr. Paul J. Carr’s History of Riverhead’s Suffolk County Fairs

Published

By

The newly published volume chronicles the Suffolk County Agricultural Society’s annual exhibitions from 1818 through 1941 and the farming economy of eastern Long Island that surrounded them.

CHARLESTON, S.C., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Palmetto Publishing has released Farming, Community, and the Legacy of The Suffolk County Agricultural Society’s Fairs, a local history by Dr. Paul J. Carr, written with Riverhead Town Historian Georgette Lane Case. The book documents the agricultural fairs held at Riverhead, New York, and the farming communities of the East End of Long Island that built them.

The Suffolk County Agricultural Society was founded in 1818 and held its first cattle show in Smithtown. For seventy-six years its annual exhibition took place in Riverhead, where growers competed for premiums over pumpkins, potatoes, cauliflower, cattle, and poultry. Balloonists ascended over the grandstand. Jockeys complained the track was too narrow. Semi-pro ballplayers drew betting crowds, early aviators flew above upturned faces, and President Theodore Roosevelt rode onto the grounds on horseback to address the gathering.

Carr sets the fairs down year by year, from 1865 to 1941, then follows the attempted revivals that came after. The fair buildings were auctioned in 1945 and a school rose on the ground. Around that chronology runs a second account: how land once dismissed as waste was proved fertile, how the railroad carried cauliflower to the city and politicians to the midway, and how potatoes, sod, oysters, and later vineyards reshaped the North Fork. The book also tests several durable local legends against the record.

Dr. Paul J. Carr stated, “I walked into the Riverhead Town Historian’s office in 2020 expecting to catalogue documents, and Georgette mentioned she had always hoped to write a pamphlet about the fairs. The research outgrew a pamphlet almost immediately. No full account existed, and it seemed wrong to leave it that way.”

The research draws on newspaper accounts, premium lists, treasurers’ reports, and the holdings of the Riverhead Town Historian’s office. The narrative moves through the post Civil War years, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, the Long Island Express Hurricane of 1938, and the approach of the Second World War. The book is intended for genealogists, local historians, students, and general readers researching Long Island families, farms, businesses, and landmarks. It sits alongside county histories and historical society journals, and arrives as farmland preservation and the North Fork wine economy continue to draw attention to the region’s agricultural past.

Farming, Community, and the Legacy of The Suffolk County Agricultural Society’s Fairs is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. For more information about the author, please visit any of their social media platforms.

About the Author: In 2020, Dr. Paul J. Carr walked into the Riverhead Town Historian’s office expecting to catalogue documents. Georgette Lane Case, the town’s historian, mentioned she had long hoped to write a pamphlet on the Suffolk County Agricultural Society’s fairs. The research that followed, covering the Riverhead fairs from 1865 to 1941 and the farming that surrounded them, outgrew a pamphlet almost immediately and became Farming, Community, and the Legacy of The Suffolk County Agricultural Society’s Fairs.

Carr’s interest in history accumulated over many years rather than arriving all at once. He has been an avid reader of history, pursued graduate studies in the subject, taught social studies, served as an archivist at the Long Island Rail Road Museum, and volunteered at the Riverhead Historian’s office. That combination shows in the book’s method: treasurer’s reports and premium lists sit beside balloon ascensions, diving horses, and the occasional runaway sulky. He describes the project as a celebration and a dedication to the East End’s farming ancestors.

Georgette Lane Case has served as Historian for the Town of Riverhead, New York, since 2001. She works to preserve and promote the town’s rich and diverse heritage, and serves as a research resource for genealogists, historians, students, and the public, fielding questions about local families, businesses, landmarks, and community history. Her documentation of Riverhead’s past is aimed squarely at the future, at ensuring that later generations understand how their community came to look the way it does.

Prospective, multicenter study evaluates the Coherent Sine Burst Electroporation Ablation Platform, a sine wave-based pulsed field ablation technology, in drug-refractory atrial fibrillation; persistent AF cohort enrollment continues

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Argá Medtech, a medical technology company developing sine wave-based pulsed field ablation (PFA) for cardiac arrhythmias, today announced the completion of enrollment in the paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) cohort of COHERENT-AF, its pivotal U.S. Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study of the Coherent Sine Burst Electroporation (CSE) Platform. The PAF cohort enrolled 150 intention-to-treat subjects across 27 sites in Europe and the United States. Enrollment in the persistent AF (PersAF) cohort is ongoing and expected to complete in the next two months.

“Completing enrollment in the paroxysmal AF cohort is an important milestone for COHERENT-AF,” said Emile Daoud, MD, Director of Electrophysiology Research; Hatton Research Institute at Bethesda North Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio and the leading enroller in COHERENT-AF. “In our procedures, the CSE Platform has consistently delivered pulmonary vein isolation with a streamlined, single-catheter workflow, and the ability to address the pulmonary veins, posterior wall and cavo-tricuspid isthmus without exchanging catheters has been a meaningful advantage in our lab. We look forward to the completion of the persistent AF cohort and the 12-month effectiveness results.”

COHERENT-AF (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06784466) is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized pre-market study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the CSE Platform in adults with symptomatic, drug-refractory PAF or PersAF. The study plan includes enrollment of up to 410 subjects in the United States and Europe, including 150 intention-to-treat subjects in each of the PAF and PersAF cohorts. Additional subjects will be enrolled in a second phase of the IDE investigation.

All subjects undergo pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with the CSE system. Posterior wall and other left atrial substrate and cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation may be performed with the CSE system at the operator’s discretion. Each cohort is evaluated separately against prespecified performance goals for safety and effectiveness, with subjects followed through 12 months.

“Reaching full enrollment so quickly in the paroxysmal AF cohort reflects the commitment of our investigators and study teams,” said David Neale CEO, Argá Medtech. “We are now focused on completing the persistent AF cohort and generating the evidence needed to support FDA and CE-Mark regulatory submissions of the CSE Platform.”

About the Coherent Sine Burst Electroporation Platform

The Argá Medtech CSE Platform features a single ablation catheter that can be configured by a simple stylet exchange to deliver circular, linear and focal ablation lesions. The CSE generator delivers controlled bursts of microsecond sine-waved based pulsed field ablation (PFA) across two, four or eight electrodes and can be titrated to treat the full spectrum of atrial tissue from thin-walled RV to thick septal or intramural circuits.

CAUTION: Investigational device. Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use.
