Ideal Cars: We will adjust and close a small number of low-efficiency stores this year.

Recently, some media reported that Ideal Auto plans to close approximately 100 inefficient retail stores in the first half of 2026. On January 27th, Ideal Auto responded to a reporter from China Securities News China Securities Gemini saying that this year they will adjust and close a small number of inefficient stores, which is a normal business adjustment and does not affect the company's normal operations. The online rumor about "closing 100 stores" is false information. Ideal Auto stated that this action is based on the actual needs of business development, rational planning of channel layout, and does not involve actual changes in the company's operating situation.
