UBTech's persistent losses, humanoid robot order fulfillment and 'mass-production video fraud' questioned
UBTech reported 2025 revenue of RMB 2.001 billion and a net loss of RMB 789 million, with net operating cash outflow of RMB 784 million and accounts receivable of RMB 1.842 billion with slow collection; it has still not turned a profit 14 years after founding. Its U1 companion robot had 13,361 pre-orders, but deposits were refundable, and it later disclosed that only 1,500–2,000 units could be delivered within the year, raising market doubts about the quality of the orders; previously, the founder of US-based Figure publicly questioned the authenticity of its humanoid robot mass-production video, and UBTech called the claim untrue and released additional videos. On patents, Weilai Huoban had sued for RMB 60 million in compensation, and the patent involved was later declared invalid. Progress: media reports. Entity involved: Shenzhen UBTech Technology Co., Ltd. Scope: UBTech listed company operations and order disclosures.
