ZHONGSHAN, China, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring ushers in a vibrant season of light and opportunity. On March 21, 2026, the four-day 2026 China (Guzhen) International Lighting Fair (Spring Edition) (hereinafter referred to as the "34th Guzhen Lighting Fair") successfully concluded at the Guzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, China. Building on its "1+8+N" grand lighting fair pattern, this fair continued with the theme "Guzhen Lights up the World", focusing on the prime spring sourcing season. Through a variety of formats including exhibitions, supporting events, and resource matchmaking, it underscored Guzhen Lighting Fair's commitment to "professionalism, market orientation, and internationalization". Main Venue - Guzhen Convention and Exhibition Center, together with 8 sub-venues, including Star Alliance Global Brand Lighting Center, Lihe Lighting Expo Center, Huayi Plaza, Lighting Era Center, Guzhen Chang'an Lighting Parts & Electronic City, Caosan International Lighting Parts City, Guyi Qingfeng LED Lighting Trading City and Guyi Ruifeng International Lighting Fittings City, received over 3,600 brand enterprises to showcase more than 100,000 original new products, with a total exhibition area exceeding 1.5 million square meters. Lighting Capital Gathers Business Opportunities, and Exhibitions and Trade Yield Fruitful Results As of 14:00, March 21, the 34th Guzhen Lighting Fair main venue welcomed 94,996 professional visits, including 4,368 overseas visitors from 127 countries and regions. A significant increase was seen in visitors from countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative such as Russia, Central Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as key regions including Northeast Asia.

During the fair, over 200 media outlets and industry influencers showcased the event's highlights from all perspectives through special reports, in-depth interviews, creative short videos, and interactive live streams, thereby enhancing its trade impact. International buyers were constantly seen at both the main and sub-venues, admiring products, discussing technical details with company representatives, and eagerly placing orders. Both exhibitors and buyers remarked that this fair was highly effective, featuring precise matchmaking and significant results. They also expressed great anticipation for the Guzhen Lighting Fair (Summer) from May 26 to 28, and the 35th Guzhen Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) from October 22 to 25. Establishing a World-class Event at the Cradle of the Lighting Industry Marking the start of the "15th Five-Year Plan", this Guzhen Lighting Fair was not only an important international exhibition approved by the Ministry of Commerce but also the first large-scale economic and trade event held after Guzhen Town officially set forth the goal of "establishing itself as the World's Lighting Capital", making it highly significant and profoundly influential. The four-day exhibition was vibrant and full of energy. On the opening day, the entrances to all exhibition halls at the main venue were bustling with people, as exhibitors and buyers gathered to attend this premier industry event of the spring. At the opening ceremony, in order to fully implement the provincial government's initiative "Guangdong Products Go Global", Guzhen Town signed agreements with two leading e-commerce platforms, Tmall and JD.com. Together, they launched the "Guangdong Products Go Global • Guzhen Lighting Special Zone", creating a new channel for "Guzhen Lighting" to expand its reach across the country and the world. Most noteworthy is that 12 major lighting stores from cities including Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou were officially recognized, establishing a comprehensive platform for the lighting industry that integrates exhibition, trade, channel expansion, and information exchange. Exceptional Exhibits Across the Entire Industry Chain Drive Innovation Trends This edition of the lighting fair was not only a prominent trade event but also an essential benchmark for observing cutting-edge industry technologies and guiding product development trends. The main venue brought together nearly 1,000 premium brand enterprises, showcasing a comprehensive range of products across categories such as smart lighting, residential lighting, commercial lighting, outdoor lighting, special lamps, machinery and equipment, auxiliary materials and accessories. It also extended into related home furnishing sectors, including ceramics, sanitary ware, and smart locks, offering a full-spectrum display of a rich and diverse industrial ecosystem. Over the course of the four-day event, from the launch of ground breaking new products and immersive lighting scene displays at the main venue to on-site product selection and in-depth business discussions at the sub-venues, the fair showcased three major industry trends: "smart lighting, green and low-carbon solutions, and healthy lighting environments", delivering an array of remarkable highlights. With its comprehensive industry chain, this lighting fair highlighted the industry's profound transformation from "selling products and services" to "selling experiences and solutions", and an upgraded trend that has become a central focus for buyers. These achievements not only accelerate the lighting industry's transition to new productive quality forces but also clearly showcase the sector's comprehensive upgrade towards high-end, intelligent, and green development. Precise Business Matching for Efficient Collaboration This exhibition leveraged the Lighting Online platform to newly introduce the "Global Buyers Spring Sourcing" in collaboration for the first time with the Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce. Over 100 high-quality overseas buyers from regions including Russia, Southeast Asia, West Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America were invited to form a professional buyer group and engaged in exclusive business matching with exhibitors and selected products on-site. During the fair, three "Denggle.com Business Matching" were held based on a dual mechanism of "smart algorithms + manual review" to ensure that the invited buyers not only have purchasing intentions but also demonstrate potential for long-term collaboration. Additionally, an Interstellar Plaza Sourcing Tour was introduced to enhance the precision of supply-demand alignment and foster mutual trust through exchange meetings and store visits. This assists enterprises in expanding their collaborative opportunities in Southeast Asia and broader global markets. Industry Dialogue to Explore Future Development Paths The organizer collaborated with professional organizations such as China Association of Lighting Industry, Guangdong Lighting Association, and Guangdong Electronic Commerce Association to host 6 high-quality themed events. The events centered on key topics such as consumption upgrades, smart lighting, green development, cross-border e-commerce, and global industry expansion, bringing together industry experts and corporate representatives for in-depth discussions and exchanges of ideas. These efforts continuously infused fresh perspectives and momentum into the high-quality development of the lighting industry. Meanwhile, the 8 sub-venues simultaneously hosted a variety of coordinated activities, including procurement fairs, business matchmaking events, and special promotional campaigns. A series of themed events, including the Star Alliance "Spring Special Lighting Fair", the Lihe Lighting Expo Center "Spring New Product Sourcing Season", and the Huayi Plaza "318 Global Lighting Sourcing Festival", were also presented, attracting a large number of merchants and energizing the Guzhen lighting market with strong momentum and vibrant business activity.

Asia Pacific Consumers Lack Confidence to Achieve Economic Goals - Herbalife Survey

HONG KONG, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Herbalife, a premier health and wellness company and community and platform, released new findings from its Asia Pacific (APAC) Health and Economic Empowerment Survey 2025, where only two in five (43%) consumers feel very empowered to improve their economic wellbeing, and only one in three are very confident in achieving their economic goals in the next 12 months. In view of this, many plan to reduce their non-essential spending, invest or to start a business to boost their chances of achieving their goals. "The survey showed lower levels of economic empowerment and confidence among the consumers in this region, and many remain uncertain about their economic wellbeing in the year ahead. However, it's encouraging to see that people are actively seeking opportunities such as investing or starting a business to improve their financial future. For those seeking to make some extra income or grow a business, Herbalife offers a versatile platform of tools, technology, training and community to help people achieve their goals for greater economic stability," said Thomas Harms, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Herbalife. The APAC Health and Economic Empowerment Survey 2025 was conducted in October last year and polled 8,505 respondents, including 2,245 entrepreneurs, across 11 markets including Australia, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan region, Thailand and Vietnam. Reducing spend, diversifying income sources key to improving economic wellbeing Among those surveyed, less than one in three (30%) rate their current state of economic wellbeing positively. This was influenced largely by the uncertain economic climate (47%), as well as the personal financial commitments (34%) that consumers already have. In response to this, many are choosing to actively take steps to boost their economic wellbeing in the next 12 months. Almost half (49%) plan to reduce their non-essential spending, one in three intend to explore investing options and one in four (23%) aim to start a business to improve their financial outlook. Gen Zs, Millennials more optimistic about improving health and economic wellbeing Looking ahead, there is greater optimism among younger consumers in improving their economic well-being and health in the next 12 months. Two in three Gen Zs (66%) and Millennials (62%) expect their economic to improve in the coming months, significantly higher than the average of 55% across all age groups. The survey also found a similar pattern when it comes to the outlook on one's health. Forty-seven percent of Gen Zs and 46% of Millennials expressed confidence in achieving their health goals in the next 12 months, higher than the proportion of Gen Xers (34%) and Boomers (27%) who share the same sentiments. Majority taking positive actions to realize health goals in the next 12 months The top three actions mentioned to improve overall health and well-being were exercising more (53%), giving up unhealthy lifestyle habits (43%), and increasing time on wellbeing activities (36%). The survey also revealed differences in the steps that men and women tend to take to realize their health goals. Men have a higher tendency to turn to exercise while women are more inclined to optimize their diet, choosing to consume healthier foods to boost health. Strong correlation between health and economic empowerment The findings showed a strong correlation between health and economic empowerment. Individuals who feel highly empowered to make decisions that improve their economic well-being (95%) are more likely to report higher levels of health empowerment (88%) in tandem. "This suggests that confidence in financial decision-making may just go hand-in-hand with one's confidence in managing personal health. In the face of ongoing uncertainties, taking charge of your economic and personal well-being is more important than ever before. Consumers can be more intentional about fostering positive lifestyle habits and diversifying income streams to lay the foundation for a healthier and fulfilling life," added Harms. About Herbalife Ltd. Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) is a premier health and wellness company, community and platform that has been changing people's lives with great nutrition products and a business opportunity for its independent distributors since 1980.

Fujitsu and The University of Osaka develop new technologies for chemical material energy calculations on early-FTQC quantum computers

Contributing to the early application of quantum computers in drug discovery and new material development TOKYO, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu Limited and the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology at The University of Osaka today announced the development of a new technology designed to accelerate the industrial application of quantum computers in the era of early fault-tolerant quantum computing (early-FTQC). By combining ver. 3 of the STAR architecture, a unique highly efficient phase rotation gate quantum computing architecture, with a novel molecular model optimization technique, researchers have significantly reduced computational resource requirements. This breakthrough will enable the energy calculations for chemical material design such as catalyst molecules, within a realistic timeframe using early-FTQC quantum computers. These kinds of calculations are currently not possible using current computers, and would take millennia even using previous versions of the STAR architecture. The technologies are expected to contribute to solving various societal challenges, including accelerating drug discovery, improving the efficiency of ammonia synthesis processes, and advancing carbon recycling technologies. Background Quantum computing holds significant promise across a wide range of industries, including drug discovery, cryptography, and finance. However, current quantum systems are highly error-prone, and practical applications are generally believed to require quantum computers with millions of qubits. In addition, the accurate calculation of complex molecular chemical energies for practical applications has required excessive computational resources, with prior methods limited by insufficient computational power or impractical timeframes. Future plans Fujitsu and The University of Osaka will continue to advance the STAR architecture and molecular model optimization technology, expanding the practical application range of quantum computers in the early-FTQC era. The partners aim to contribute to solving societal challenges by applying these technologies across various industrial fields, including drug discovery, new material development, and finance.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including but not limited to: Non-GAAP cost of revenues excludes share-based compensation expenses; Non-GAAP gross profit excludes share-based compensation expenses; Non-GAAP gross margin excludes share-based compensation expenses; Total non-GAAP operating expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions; Non-GAAP research and development expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions; Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses , amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions; Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses exclude share-based compensation expenses; Non-GAAP operating profit/loss excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions; Non-GAAP net income/loss attributable to Cheetah Mobile shareholders excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions; Non-GAAP diluted earnings/losses per ADS excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results".

HANGZHOU, China, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- To ensure customer satisfaction, security channel professionals need to plan proactively and communicate clearly. Customers must know, from the beginning of negotiations to receiving their new video surveillance system, that they'll have the best possible solution matching their needs to the full extent. Starting with the initial site survey all the way to the technical quote for the customer, integrators usually have to migrate projects from one platform to another multiple times, each time causing friction and increasing the risk of error. For Hikvision partners, those mounting difficulties have come to an end. HPP Designer is not simply another tool that promises to simplify certain steps one by one. Instead it is an all-in-one tool fully embedded in Hik-Partner Pro, the platform that enables professionals to manage all customer-facing tasks involving Hikvision solutions. For each new project, partners start by uploading the floorplan of the site directly to the platform, where the AI-powered tool automatically turns it into a virtual version of the site. The partner can now design the project, from placing Hikvision cameras to calculating and visualizing their performance, and eventually generating a quotation that leaves the customer reassured that they'll have the best possible solution in place in the quickest possible time. Hikvision and asmag.com have jointly created a guidebook for HPP Designer, highlighting its benefits to partners and customers, and seeking to answer all important questions from how it can be used and what benefits it brings.
