Product gross margin fell to 26.8% from 41.0%, while services gross margin improved to 60.3% from 56.6%.
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
UCLOUDLINK (NASDAQ: UCL) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of US$21.4 million, returning to year-over-year growth while posting a net loss. Revenue increased 1.1%, but net loss was US$0.3 million versus net income of US$9.3 million a year earlier. Operating income fell to US$0.2 million from US$9.2 million; the prior-year period included a US$8.7 million investment fair-value gain.
MeowGo revenue fell 9.9% to US$17.4 million, while SIM, IoT, Life and PetPhone revenues increased. Gross margin declined to 51.8% from 53.6%, with product margin falling to 26.8% from 41.0%. Adjusted net loss was US$0.6 million versus adjusted net income of US$0.7 million. Average daily active users rose 22.4% to 431,245. Operating cash inflow was US$1.0 million, the first positive quarter this year. The company plans continued research and marketing investment and a fourth-quarter PetCam launch.
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.

Executive Commentary
Mr. Chaohui Chen, Director and Chief Executive Officer of UCLOUDLINK, commented, “As anticipated, our total revenues regained positive growth momentum on a year-over-year basis during the third quarter of 2026, landing at the high end of our guidance range. Despite macro headwinds, geopolitical tensions, rising memory chip costs, and extended component lead times, our resilient business model delivered robust growth across new business lines. Importantly, we generated positive operating cash inflow of US
“We strongly believe that ‘good connectivity is the foundation of artificial intelligence (AI),’ especially when reliable networks are critical for safety during turbulent periods marked by natural disasters or conflict. Driven by this vision, we achieved key commercial breakthroughs across our business during the third quarter.
In our GlocalMe MeowGo business, we capitalized on two strategic opportunities. The first was in our premium segment, where our MeowGo G50 Max with AI-powered HyperConn® technology, the world’s leading Sky-to-Ground integrated mobile connectivity hub, generated better-than-expected sales, demonstrating that demand for premium solutions remains highly resilient to macroeconomic headwinds. The second was in local connectivity markets, where our latest 4G/5G CPE solution delivered strong sales growth and deepened our penetration. Powered by the same AI-powered HyperConn® technology, which provides intelligent switching between fixed and mobile networks and real-time congestion detection, the solution delivers highly reliable connectivity for home and office environments. It reinforces our local broadband strategy and allows us to expand beyond one-time hardware sales into recurring data connectivity revenue.
Our GlocalMe IoT business delivered impressive momentum during the quarter, with revenue surging
GlocalMe SIM/eSIM business forms another key growth engine, with our OTA and eSIM solutions ranking among the top 10 products on major Chinese e-commerce platforms for key Asia-Pacific travel routes. Further demonstrating our technological strength, the eSIM Trio, co-developed with MNOs and MVNOs, leverages our hardware-based multi-IMSI capabilities to provide enhanced security and coverage for domestic and overseas use. GlocalMe Life business achieved steady MAU growth, with its key solution, UniCord Pro, gaining strong momentum.
Our PetPhone/PetPogo ecosystem continues to evolve its ‘AI-powered + Social’ model. Unlike single-function devices on the market, PetPhone operates like a mobile phone, enabling ‘anytime, anywhere’ two-way communication between pets and their owners. We launched our pet AI agent on the PetPogo app, and our next-generation PetCam, an AI-powered camera, is in the final stages of development and is set to launch in the fourth quarter. Following several quarters of significant marketing investments, PetPhone’s consumer value proposition is now materializing and is gaining meaningful market traction. We are receiving highly positive feedback both at major offline events, such as IFA 2026, and from users and influencers across leading global social media platforms. Our distribution is expanding as well. In Europe, we have placed PetPhone in the retail network of a regional telecom operator, and in China we have been added to the centralized procurement catalogs of three major telecom operators, which facilitates SIM issuance and helps build our partner ecosystem.”
“Looking ahead, our focus will be on executing our strategic priorities to drive sustainable growth. We will continue to invest in R&D and marketing to scale our key business lines, while maintaining disciplined operational management to improve operating leverage. The share repurchase program announced in the third quarter reflects management’s confidence in our long-term fundamentals. We believe our solid execution and continued innovation will position us well to deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”

The estimates above constitute forward-looking information and are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions of market and operating conditions and customer demand. These estimates are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties, including possible adjustments to preliminary financial results, and are not guarantees of future performance and may differ materially from actual results.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company’s operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net income/(loss) is defined as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investments and share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investments, share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax, interest expense, income tax expenses and depreciation and amortization.
The Company believes that adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in income/(loss) from operations and net income/(loss). The Company believes that adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non- GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investments and share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax, have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income/(loss). Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth at the end of this release.
Conference Call
The Company will host a conference call to discuss its financial results at 8:30 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 (9:30 p.m. Hong Kong Time on the same day).
