DESCRIPTION

Luokung Technology is a China-based spatial-temporal big data and mapping services company. Its core product is SuperEngine, a spatial-temporal big data processing platform that provides mapping, indexing, and data analysis tools to businesses and government customers via SDKs, APIs, and cloud services. Key use cases include smart cities, smart transportation, emergency response, logistics, and carbon neutrality monitoring. Through its acquisition of eMapgo (EMG), Luokung also provides HD Maps, positioning services, and vehicle-road collaboration (V2X) data to automakers and autonomous driving firms in China. A smaller consumer-facing business provides location-based services via a mobile app targeting rail travelers. Luokung sells to businesses and government agencies directly, generating revenue through cloud platform fees, SDK/API licensing, HD Map data services, and project-based government contracts. Government contracts tend to be lumpy given their project-based nature. HD Map production is capital-intensive, requiring specialized fleet vehicles, AI processing, and continuous map updates. Luokung's Chinese operations are structured through a VIE arrangement, and its shares trade on NASDAQ under the ticker "LKCO." The company has been consistently unprofitable and carries a large accumulated deficit and negative equity, making it reliant on external financing.
