As the year draws to a close and a new chapter approaches, on February 11, 2026, the entire Dalian youopto technology family gathered together in a warm and joyful atmosphere, bathed in the gentle winter sun and filled with laughter and cheer, to hold the grand New Year annual meeting. With the theme “Crafting Dreams with Ingenuity, Gathering Strength for a New Beginning,” the event reviewed the dedicated efforts of 2025 and outlined the development blueprint for 2026. It came to a successful conclusion, interwoven with moments of recognition, performances, and engaging activities.

At the opening of the annual meeting, Chairman Mr. Liao delivered a speech: Gratitude for the Journey Together

Mr. Liao looked back on the extraordinary challenges of 2025—turbulent markets, arduous R&D breakthroughs, production teams racing to meet delivery deadlines, sales teams building brand reputation, equipment teams holding the front line, quality teams ensuring excellence, and comprehensive support teams providing solid backing. One by one, he expressed heartfelt thanks to the R&D, sales, production, quality, equipment, and administration departments. He praised the R&D team for their perseverance, honored the sales team for their sense of responsibility, acknowledged the craftsmanship of the production and quality teams in their “meticulous refinement,” and appreciated the unsung dedication of the equipment and administration teams working behind the scenes.

In his address, Mr. Liao also analyzed areas for growth in market expansion, R&D capabilities, and operational efficiency, and unveiled two core strategies for 2026: deepening R&D and targeting overseas markets—continuing to expand the R&D team, strengthening technological barriers, proactively embracing the international market, and securing more overseas orders. At the same time, the company will optimize management efficiency, enhance supply chain collaboration, and uphold even more rigorous quality standards to elevate the “youopto” brand onto the global stage.

Top Honors: Celebrating Extraordinary Contributions

The stars ask not of those who journey through the night; time rewards those who give it their all. At this year's annual meeting, ten major awards were presented to honor exceptional individuals and teams, including the Employee of the Year, Outstanding Team, and Distinguished Contribution Award recipients.

As Jiang, winner of the "Golden Craftsmanship Award," steadily made her way to the stage, little did she know that a carefully planned birthday surprise awaited her. When the cake was brought onto the stage, Jiang could hardly contain her joy and emotion. "I never expected to celebrate such an unforgettable birthday at the annual meeting," she said. As she made her wish, she added, "I wish the company continued success, and I look forward to growing together with Dalian youopto technology."

Each certificate presented at the awards ceremony was a tribute to hard work and dedication; every round of applause was for those who gave their all. With steadfast commitment, they forged a path forward, and like countless sparks converging into a brilliant galaxy, they stand as the most radiant force of Dalian youopto technology.

A Feast for the Senses: Electrifying the Stage

Under dazzling lights and thunderous applause, a series of cultural performances, written and directed by various departments, took the stage one after another. The HR department delivered a mesmerizing Xinjiang dance that captivated the entire audience.

The group poem recitation "I Love Work," jointly prepared by multiple departments, ignited laughter throughout the audience with its ingenious . The script underwent several revisions, bringing the daily "love-hate" dynamics between sales, R&D, production, and procurement onto the stage—sales pushing for orders, R&D revising blueprints, production racing against deadlines, and procurement sourcing materials. Every teasing remark stemmed from real experiences, and every exchange revealed unspoken understanding. The audience erupted in laughter and applause, a moment of heartfelt resonance understood only

by those who fight side by side.

A variety of dance and vocal performances followed—some soulful, some high-energy—each delivered with stage presence rivaling that of professional acts. Every moment ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

Fun and Games: Laughter All Around
Then came the most joyous spectacle of the annual celebration—the interactive games, which took the atmosphere to new heights.

Hilarious game sessions got underway as colleagues showed off their playful and spirited sides, diving into full interaction with exaggerated and endearing antics. Waves of laughter rippled through the audience as joy meter hit the roof.

Multiple Rounds of Lucky Draws

The most anticipated moment arrived—the exciting lucky draw! One generous prize after another was drawn, bringing wave after wave of surprises and cheers from the audience. With fortune and anticipation in the air, the joyful atmosphere of the annual celebration reached its peak.

Amid the eager anticipation of all employees, the grand prize was serendipitously drawn by the company's first employee. At that moment, a wave of emotion swept through everyone present—it was his dedication and steadfast commitment that made us all feel deeply deserving of where we stand today.

Mr. Liao reflected with heartfelt emotion: In the early days of the company, there was nothing but an empty factory floor. After Engineer Lu joined, he quietly moved and calibrated equipment all alone in the bitter cold of winter. Today, the youopto’s team has grown and flourished, yet that original spirit remains unchanged. This enduring loyalty and companionship warmed the hearts of everyone in the room.

A Chorus of Unity: Capturing the Moment

As the celebration drew to a close, all members of the youopto’s family joined together in a heartfelt chorus of "Tomorrow Will Be Better." The melody carried the warmth of standing shoulder to shoulder and the resolve to stride confidently into the future.

The evening concluded with a group photograph—a full-family portrait that froze the laughter and tenderness of the moment in time, preserving a cherished memory that belongs to us all.

Looking back on 2025, we stood together through challenges and fought side by side, writing stories of perseverance and unity with our dedication. Looking ahead to 2026, the optical communications industry shines with promise and boundless potential. We are filled with pride and confidence, ready to embark on a new journey driven by hard work and determination.

Here’s to our perseverance and breakthroughs in 2025—to reaching new heights and fulfilling our dreams in 2026—and to the bright future of every single member of the youopto’s family. Cheers!
