Insights

Tuya delivered higher profit and margins on moderate revenue growth.

Tuya grew Q1 2026 revenue 8.3% to US$80.9 million, but profit rose faster. Net profit reached US$15.8 million with net margin of 19.5%, up from 14.8%, helped by lower operating expenses and higher operating leverage.

Operating margin improved from negative to 9.2%, and non-GAAP operating margin was 10.0%, indicating the core business is now consistently profitable. However, non-GAAP net profit declined from US$19.3 million to US$16.4 million, mainly due to lower financial income and interest rate movements.

Cash and liquid investments were US$1,017.1 million as of March 31, 2026, providing ample flexibility for AI and global expansion initiatives. Net cash from operating activities was US$6.4 million in the quarter, down from US$9.4 million a year earlier, so future disclosures will be useful to see whether cash generation tracks earnings momentum.

non-GAAP financial
"For further information on the non-GAAP financial measures presented above, see the section headed “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
Platform-as-a-Service financial
"offerings, including Platform-as-a-Service, or PaaS, AI application & others and Smart home & robot products"
A platform-as-a-service is a cloud-based product that provides developers with ready-made tools, computing power and storage to build, run and manage software without owning the underlying hardware or plumbing. Think of it like renting a fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals instead of buying appliances and renovating a home. For investors, it matters because these platforms often generate steady, repeatable revenue, scale efficiently as users grow, and can create customer stickiness that supports long-term margins and valuation.
operating margin financial
"Operating margin in the first quarter of 2026 was 9.2%, improved by 11.1 percentage points"
Operating margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core business activities after paying for costs like wages and materials. It’s useful because it tells you how efficiently a company is running—higher margins mean it keeps more money from each dollar of sales, which can indicate better management or stronger products.
net margin financial
"Net margin in the first quarter of 2026 was 19.5%, improved by 4.7 percentage points"
Net margin is the percentage of revenue a company keeps as profit after paying all costs, interest, taxes and one-time items — think of it as the slice of each dollar of sales that ends up in the company’s pocket. Investors use it like a yardstick to compare how efficiently different businesses turn sales into actual profit; higher net margins mean more profit per dollar of revenue and generally indicate stronger financial health or pricing power.
ADS financial
"Basic and diluted net profit per ADS was US$0.03 in the first quarter of 2026"
Ads are paid promotional messages a company places across media — online, on TV, in print, or on social platforms — to attract customers, explain products, or shape public perception. For investors, ads matter because they drive sales growth, affect how much a company must spend to win customers, and influence brand strength and long-term value. Ads can also create regulatory or reputational risk if claims are misleading, which can affect profits and stock price.
AI developer platform technical
"Tuya has pioneered a purpose-built AI cloud platform with cloud and generative AI capabilities"
Revenue US$80.9 million +8.3% year over year
Net profit US$15.8 million +43.2 percentage points in net margin to 19.5%
Operating margin 9.2% from negative 1.9% in Q1 2025
Non-GAAP net profit US$16.4 million down from US$19.3 million in Q1 2025

Business Outlook

 

The overall operating environment remains complex, while continuing to show signs of normalization. Participants across the value chain – including manufacturers, brands, and channel partners – are maintaining a cautiously optimistic to planning. At the same time, we have observed more normalized project execution and continuous demand recovering across several of our core categories, suggesting that the market is gradually moving from adjustment toward a more stable operating rhythm.

 

Meanwhile, global AI development is entering a new stage of application-led growth. As AI technologies continue to evolve from foundational capabilities toward real-world deployment, enterprises and consumers are increasingly focused on practical use cases, scalable implementation, and scenario-based integration with physical devices. This trend is accelerating the convergence of AI and smart hardware, and is creating new opportunities for application innovation, product expansion, and ecosystem collaboration across a wide range of verticals.

 

Against this backdrop, Tuya continues to advance its AI-driven strategy by strengthening its AI developer platform, expanding application-level capabilities, and supporting broader deployment across diverse smart device and industry scenarios. The ongoing evolution of AI applications, together with its platform capabilities, ecosystem strengths, and global developer base, will continue to support the creation of diversified, higher-value opportunities over the long term.

 

In this environment, the Company will continue to maintain disciplined execution while selectively investing in AI-driven applications, platform capabilities, and ecosystem development. In response to this evolving market environment, the Company will continue to iterate and improve its products and services, enhance both software and hardware capabilities, and further support customers and developers in bringing AI-driven applications into practical deployment. At the same time, the Company recognizes that its future trajectory may continue to be influenced by a range of external factors, including shifts in consumer demand, regional economic divergence, inventory dynamics, foreign exchange and interest rate volatility, tariffs and trade policy adjustments, and broader geopolitical uncertainties.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP profit from operations (including non-GAAP operating margin), non-GAAP net profit (including non-GAAP net margin), and non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company defines non-GAAP financial measures by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses from the respective GAAP financial measures. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of its operating performance.

 

7

 

 

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of expenses that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP measures. 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 measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

 

Reconciliations of Tuya’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release.

FF305 Page 3 of 5 v 1.3.0 Confirmation Not applicable Notes to Section I: 1. Please insert the closing balance date of the last Next Day Disclosure Return published pursuant to Main Board Rule 13.25A / GEM Rule 17.27A or Monthly Return pursuant to Main Board Rule 13.25B / GEM Rule 17.27B, whichever is the later. 2. Please set out all changes in issued shares or treasury shares requiring disclosure pursuant to Main Board Rule 13.25A / GEM Rule 17.27A together with the relevant dates of changes. Each category will need to be disclosed individually with sufficient information to enable the user to identify the relevant category in the listed issuer's Monthly Return. For example, multiple issues of shares as a result of multiple exercises of share options under the same share option scheme or of multiple conversions under the same convertible note must be aggregated and disclosed as one category. However, if the issues resulted from exercises of share options under 2 share option schemes or conversions of 2 convertible notes, these must be disclosed as 2 separate categories. 3. The percentage change in the number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) of the listed issuer is to be calculated by reference to the opening balance of the number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) being disclosed in this Next Day Disclosure Return. 4. In the case of a share repurchase or redemption, the “issue/ selling price per share” shall be construed as “repurchase price per share” or “redemption price per share”. Where shares have been issued/ sold/ repurchased/ redeemed at more than one price per share, a volume-weighted average price per share should be given. 5. The closing balance date is the date of the last relevant event being disclosed. 6. For repurchase or redemption of shares, disclosure is required when the relevant event has occurred (subject to the provisions of Main Board Rules 10.06(4)(a), 13.25A and 13.31 / GEM Rules 13.13(1), 17.27A and 17.35), even if the repurchased or redeemed shares have not yet been cancelled. If repurchased or redeemed shares are to be cancelled upon settlement of such repurchase or redemption after the closing balance date, they shall remain part of the issued shares as at the closing balance date in Part A. Details of these repurchased or redeemed shares shall be disclosed in Part B. 7. Items (i) to (viii) are suggested forms of confirmation. The listed issuer may amend the item(s) that is/are not applicable to meet individual cases. 8. “Identical” means in this context: - the securities are of the same nominal value with the same amount called up or paid up; - they are entitled to dividend/interest at the same rate and for the same period, so that at the next ensuing distribution, the dividend/interest payable per unit will amount to exactly the same sum (gross and net); and - they carry the same rights as to unrestricted transfer, attendance and voting at meetings and rank pari passu in all other respects.
