Power Solutions International Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
A new $220.0 million committed revolving credit facility lowered the borrowing spread by 80 basis points.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Power Solutions International (PSIX) reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $29.9 million, with higher profitability despite lower year-over-year sales. Revenue was $202.1 million, down 1% year over year but up 32.5% sequentially. Diluted earnings rose to $1.30 from $1.20 a year earlier. Operating income reached a record $40.9 million. Gross margin increased to 29.7% from 23.9%, including a $3.8 million tariff refund.
The company raised its outlook, expecting second-half 2026 sales to exceed second-half 2025 sales rather than remain approximately in line. Material availability constraints affect certain planned fourth-quarter deliveries. PSI expects fourth-quarter gross margin to be modestly lower, apart from the refund's expected non-recurrence. Quarterly operating cash flow reached $40.9 million, and total debt fell approximately $34.9 million to approximately $37.7 million. Nine-month net income fell 45% to $54.091 million.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Outlook for 2026
Based on the current production schedule and information available as of the date of this release, the Company is raising its outlook and now expects second-half 2026 net sales to exceed second-half 2025 net sales, as larger Power Systems orders move into production and are recognized as revenue. The Company previously expected second-half 2026 net sales to be approximately in line with second-half 2025 net sales. The timing, volume and mix of shipments, including custom product orders, remain subject to customer scheduling, manufacturing throughput, supply chain factors and other variables, including current material availability constraints affecting certain planned fourth quarter deliveries; there can be no assurance that orders will convert to revenue in any particular quarter. Softness in demand within the oil and gas market is expected to continue, offset by higher sales of data center products, which generally carry lower gross margins than oil and gas products. Apart from the expected non-recurrence of the

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) above, this press release also includes non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures provide insight into selected financial information and should be evaluated in the context in which they are presented. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations within the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated below.
| Non-GAAP Financial Measure | Comparable GAAP Financial Measure |
| Adjusted net income | Net income |
| Adjusted net income per share – diluted | Net income per share – diluted |
| EBITDA | Net income |
| Adjusted EBITDA | Net income |
The Company believes that Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share – diluted, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in its industry as well as by the Company’s management in assessing the performance of the Company. Adjusted net income is defined as net income as adjusted for certain items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Adjusted net income per share – diluted is a measure of the Company’s diluted earnings per common share adjusted for the impact of special items. EBITDA provides the Company with an understanding of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the effects of other non-cash charges and certain other items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of the Company’s operations.
Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share – diluted, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance of the Company’s operations and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share – diluted, and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor because these measures are widely used to evaluate companies’ operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measures, which can vary substantially from company to company depending on the accounting methods, the book value of assets, the capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired, among other factors. They are not, however, intended as alternative measures of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What were Power Solutions International's third-quarter 2026 earnings?
Power Solutions International earned $29.9 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared with $27.6 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, a year earlier. The prior-year quarter included a $7.0 million tax benefit from releasing a deferred-tax valuation allowance, equivalent to $0.30 per diluted share.
What is PSIX's updated second-half 2026 sales outlook?
PSI now expects second-half 2026 sales to exceed second-half 2025 sales, replacing its previous expectation of approximately matching that period. Larger Power Systems orders are moving into production, but customer scheduling, manufacturing throughput and supply availability affect when shipments become revenue.
