PITTSBURGH, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mastech Digital, Inc. (NYSE American: MHH) (“Mastech”), a leading provider of Digital Transformation IT Services, announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. 

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights:

See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures” below.

Total consolidated revenues of $42.0 million during the quarter represented a decrease of 13.4% on a year-over-year basis, but an increase of 1.3% on a sequential basis from the second quarter of 2026. Data and AI segment revenues declined 6.8% on a year-over-year basis but increased 4.7% on a sequential basis from the second quarter of 2026, the second consecutive quarter of sequential growth since 2024. Data & AI segment reported bookings of $10.8 million during the quarter when compared to $8.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. Talent segment revenues declined 16.4% on a year-over-year basis, and a decrease of 0.4% on a sequential basis from the second quarter of 2026, driven by a 21.0% decrease in billable consultants since the third quarter of 2025, as a top ten client continued insourcing services we provide in this segment and we continued to exit lower-margin and non-strategic positions. Strong average bill rate of $92.37, as compared to $89.65 during the third quarter of 2025 reflected a continued focus on revenue quality.  

Management Commentary: 

Nirav Patel, Mastech’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This quarter marks a significant milestone, as we launched the new Mastech brand and our vision of the Knowledge-first Enterprise. We believe enterprises need to codify the knowledge held by their people, customers, and clients to transform with AI. We are seeing enterprises move past AI experimentation. They now want to put their own data and knowledge to work in production, and that is driving our focus on building trusted data foundations, Applied AI solutions, and the specialized talent that our clients need to deliver AI outcomes at scale.”

“We are pleased to share that our Data & AI segment delivered a second consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth. Segment revenues grew 4.7% from the second quarter of 2026, and bookings were $10.8 million, up 29.0% from $8.4 million in the same quarter last year. Our focus on high-value work in the Data & AI segment increased gross margins this quarter by 50 basis points year-over-year to 40.5% on a Non-GAAP basis.” 

“Our differentiator is the ability to turn a client’s own data and knowledge into practical, Applied AI solutions that deliver outcomes. This quarter, we advanced our Applied AI delivery capabilities, supported by our certified and advanced partner designations, including Solutions Partner for Cloud and AI Platform status in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. These relationships and designations help us provide our customers access to skilled delivery talent and technical resources as they put AI to work at scale. We expect to continue investing in forward-leaning capabilities into 2027, as we believe they continue to enable growth and progress towards the AI engineering talent and modern data platform practices we have been building.”

Balance Sheet & Liquidity Update: 

As of September 30, 2026, Mastech had liquidity of $56.2 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $37.9 million and approximately $18.3 million of borrowing capacity available under its credit facility, with no bank debt.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures:

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures are included in the attached financial tables.

We believe that providing non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share offers investors useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enables comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business. Additionally, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company’s performance.

Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures contained herein exclude the following expense items:

Amortization of acquired intangible assets: We amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with our June 2015 acquisition of Hudson IT, our July 2017 acquisition of the services division of InfoTrellis, Inc. and our October 2020 acquisition of AmberLeaf Partners. We exclude these amortization expenses in our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe it allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies within our industry and facilitates a helpful comparison of our results with other periods.

Stock-based compensation expenses: We incur material recurring expenses related to non-cash, stock-based compensation. We exclude these expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that it provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of award types that companies can use under ASC 718, we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these expenses allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies within our industry and facilitate comparisons of our results with other periods.

Severance expense: From time to time, we incur severance expenses related to the termination by the Company of leadership and other key personnel. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded severance expense of approximately $0.2 million, of which approximately $0.1 million was recognized within cost of goods sold. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded severance expense of $1.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of which $0.3 million was recognized within cost of goods sold during the third quarter of 2025. The 2025 amounts reflect the departure of our former Chief Financial Officer and other leadership changes, and strategic initiatives undertaken to better align our organizational structure with our long-term growth objectives. Amounts recognized within cost of goods sold were not allocated to the reportable segments and therefore contribute to a gross margin variance between the supplemental segment presentation and the consolidated financial results. We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these expenses allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies within our industry and facilitates comparison of our results with other periods.

Finance and accounting transition expense: During the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors made the decision to implement a long-term cost-cutting initiative to transition the Company’s finance and accounting functions to India. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of severance and costs related to the duplication of resources and travel during the training and knowledge transfer process. The transition was completed as of December 31, 2025, and no such costs were incurred in 2026. We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these expenses allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies within our industry and facilitates comparison of our results with other periods.

Third Quarter 2026 Operational and Financial Highlights

Quarterly shipments of solar modules were 15,003 MW, down 6.0% sequentially and 25.0% year-over-year.Total revenues were RMB13.62 billion (US$2.03 billion), up 10.2% sequentially and down 15.7% year-over-year.Gross profit was RMB1.67 billion (US$249.3 million), up 225.7% sequentially and 41.4% year-over-year.Gross profit margin was 12.3%, compared with gross profit margin of 4.2% in Q2 2026 and gross profit margin of 7.3% in Q3 2025.Net loss attributable to Jinko Holdings Limited’s ordinary shareholders was RMB170.0 million (US$25.4 million), compared with net loss attributable to Jinko Holdings Limited’s ordinary shareholders of RMB697.3 million in Q2 2026 and net loss attributable to Jinko Holdings Limited’s ordinary shareholders of RMB749.8 million in Q3 2025.Adjusted net loss attributable to Jinko Holdings Limited’s ordinary shareholders was RMB7.9 million (US$1.2 million), which excludes the impact of (i) the change in fair value of long-term investment, (ii) gain from disposal of subsidiaries, (iii) the impairment of long-lived assets and (iv) share-based compensation expenses, compared with adjusted net loss attributable to Jinko Holdings Limited’s ordinary shareholders of RMB906.2 million in Q2 2026 and adjusted net loss attributable to Jinko Holdings Limited’s ordinary shareholders of RMB409.1 million in Q3 2025.Basic and diluted losses per ordinary share were RMB0.80 (US$0.12) and RMB0.80 (US$0.12), respectively. This translates into basic and diluted losses per ADS of RMB3.20 (US$0.48) and RMB3.20 (US$0.48), respectively.

Mr. Dimi Du, Jinko Holdings’ Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the third quarter, the measures we put in place to optimize our order book and product mix began to deliver results. Module shipments were 15.0 GW, with overseas markets accounting for around 70% of the total, as we continued to execute an operating strategy that balances shipment volume and profitability. Shipments of our Tiger Neo 3.0 modules exceeded 5 GW during the quarter, commanding a premium of approximately 1 US cent per watt over conventional modules. Benefiting from higher shipments of high-efficiency products, the continued cost optimization of TOPCon 3.0 and improved profitability in our energy storage business, our gross margin rose to 12.3% from 4.2% in the second quarter, while our net loss narrowed significantly both sequentially and year-over-year.

The PV industry remains at a critical stage of supply and demand adjustment, and its shift from production capacity and shipment scale toward effective supply, product value and earnings quality continues. As the relevant national authorities promote the orderly and well-regulated development of the industry through stricter standards and higher technical and energy efficiency requirements, we expect less efficient capacity to be gradually phased out and competition to focus more on technological innovation, product quality and customer value. This shift reinforces our focus on high-efficiency products, the disciplined buildout of capacity, and delivering greater customer value across global markets.

In line with this focus, we expect to have approximately 40 GW of high-efficiency production capacity meeting the Level 1 national energy efficiency requirements by the end of 2026, as the capacity ramp-up for Tiger Neo 3.0 progresses and production costs continue to improve. We believe technological innovation creates the most value when it meets customer needs across different application scenarios and delivers tangible economic benefits at scale. Following the launch of our Tiger Neo 5.0 module in June, we recently introduced the Tiger Neo 5.0 all-black premium residential module. Built on our TAC technology platform, it delivers power output of up to 510 W and module efficiency of up to 25.52%. We will focus this product on the global premium distributed PV market, particularly residential rooftop applications, and plan to ramp up production and shipments gradually over the next two years in line with market demand and industry conditions.

Our energy storage business generated a notable increase in scale and improved profitability during the quarter, with approximately 1.75 GWh of shipments recognized as revenue, matching the total for full year 2025. We are advancing the application of our proprietary PCS products, exploring opportunities in emerging scenarios such as data centers, and deepening the synergies between solar and storage across customer resources, sales channels and technical services, to deliver more sustainable growth and profit contribution going forward.

The completion of our recent name change to Jinko Holdings Limited marks a new starting point in our development. While the long-term development of our core solar and energy storage businesses remains our top priority, we are taking a more open and disciplined approach to opportunities in AI, renewable energy, advanced materials, commercial space and other frontier technologies, with our investment platform serving as a complementary driver of long-term value creation. During the third quarter, we made new and follow-on investments of approximately RMB330 million, of which approximately RMB254 million was our own capital, including in KiwiMoore, which specializes in advanced chiplet and chip interconnect technologies, and TIGSTOR, which develops supercapacitor technologies. Several of our portfolio companies also completed significant financing rounds during the quarter, including SiliconFlow, while StepFun also launched its STEPX terminal brand and related AI terminal products in July, further extending the application of its large language models in end-user devices. More recently, Adaspace Technology, another of our portfolio companies, passed the listing hearing of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

As of the end of the third quarter of 2026, the fair value of our strategic investment portfolio was approximately RMB2.05 billion. During the first nine months of 2026, our portfolio generated gains of approximately RMB327.2 million, comprising approximately RMB82.3 million in realized gains and approximately RMB244.9 million in unrealized fair value gains. Over the same period, portfolio exits generated approximately RMB386.4 million in cash proceeds. Notably, having divested a substantial portion of our equity interest in LAPLACE in the first half, we completed our exit from the remaining interest in the third quarter, generating additional cash proceeds of approximately RMB38.7 million. Our initial investment cost in LAPLACE was approximately RMB65.0 million and the investment generated cumulative gains of approximately RMB356.8 million. We will remain selective, balancing new investments against exits and improving capital utilization efficiency.

Looking ahead, we will build on three core pillars, namely technological innovation, globalization and AI transformation, to drive integrated solar-plus-storage development. We will continue to balance shipment volume and profitability, optimize our product and order book mix, and maintain strict control over capital expenditure to make the improvement in our operating performance more sustainable. For the fourth quarter of 2026, we expect module shipments to be between 16 GW and 18 GW. For full year 2026, we expect energy storage system shipments of approximately 10 GWh on a proof-of-delivery basis.”

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total Revenues

Total revenues in the third quarter of 2026 were RMB13.62 billion (US$2.03 billion), representing an increase of 10.2% from RMB12.36 billion in the second quarter of 2026 and a decrease of 15.7% from RMB16.16 billion in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential increase was mainly attributable to the growth in revenue generated from the sale of energy storage systems and an increase in average selling price of solar modules, while the year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the shipment volume of solar modules.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2026 was RMB1.67 billion (US$249.3 million), compared with gross profit of RMB513.1 million in the second quarter of 2026 and gross profit of RMB1.18 billion in the third quarter of 2025.

Gross profit margin was 12.3% in the third quarter of 2026, compared with gross profit margin of 4.2% in the second quarter of 2026 and gross profit margin of 7.3% in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year increases were mainly driven by continuous cost optimization in the Company’s high-efficiency production lines, together with an increased share of high-efficiency product shipments, and greater contribution from higher-margin energy storage system revenue.

Loss from Operations and Operating Margin

Loss from operations in the third quarter of 2026 was RMB80.0 million (US$11.9 million), compared with loss from operations of RMB1.44 billion in the second quarter of 2026 and loss from operations of RMB1.40 billion in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential improvement was primarily attributable to the increase in our gross profit in the third quarter of 2026, while the year-over-year improvement was primarily due to the decrease in our operating expenses in the third quarter of 2026.

Operating loss margin was 0.6% in the third quarter of 2026, compared with operating loss margin of 11.6% in the second quarter of 2026 and operating loss margin of 8.7% in the third quarter of 2025.

Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2026 were RMB1.75 billion (US$261.2 million), representing a decrease of 10.2% from RMB1.95 billion in the second quarter of 2026 and a decrease of 32.3% from RMB2.59 billion in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential decrease was primarily due to lower expected credit losses in the third quarter of 2026, while the year-over-year decline was mainly due to a reduction in the impairment of long-lived assets, along with lower expected credit losses in the third quarter of 2026.

Total operating expenses accounted for 12.9% of total revenues in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 15.8% in the second quarter of 2026 and 16.0% in the third quarter of 2025.

Interest Expenses and Interest Income

Interest expenses were RMB319.3 million (US$47.6 million), and interest income was RMB 67.9 million (US$10.1 million) in the third quarter of 2026.  

Net interest expenses in the third quarter of 2026 were RMB251.3 million (US$37.5 million), representing a decrease of 8.0% from RMB273.3 million in the second quarter of 2026 and an increase of 24.6% from RMB201.8 million in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential decrease was primarily due to the Company’s continued optimization of its interest-bearing debt structure and financing costs, which led to lower interest expenses, while the year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to lower interest income generated from the Company’s deposits.

Subsidy Income

Subsidy income in the third quarter of 2026 was RMB385.6 million (US$57.5 million), compared with RMB201.8 million in the second quarter of 2026 and RMB358.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were primarily attributable to the changes in government grants related to income.

Exchange (Loss)/Gain, net

The Company recorded a net exchange loss of RMB228.7 million (US$34.1 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared to a net exchange loss of RMB325.4 million in the second quarter of 2026 and a net exchange loss of RMB123.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the US dollar and euro against RMB in the third quarter of 2026.

Change in Fair Value of Forward Contracts and Commodity Futures

The Company recorded a net gain from change in fair value of forward contracts and commodity futures of RMB2.0 million (US$0.3 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of RMB48.4 million in the second quarter of 2026 and a net gain of RMB53.0 million in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were primarily attributable to the changes in fair value of forward contracts in the third quarter of 2026.

Change in Fair Value of Long-term Investment

The Company holds certain equity interests in several companies operating across the semiconductors, artificial intelligence, energy storage, and other frontier technologies, which are recorded as long-term investment or available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as gains or losses. As of September 30, 2026, the aggregate fair value of the Company’s strategic investments classified as long-term investments (excluding the investments accounted for under the equity method and held-to-maturity debt securities) and available-for-sale securities was RMB2.05 billion (US$305.1 million), compared with RMB1.99 billion as of June 30, 2026.

The Company recognized a loss from change in fair value of long-term investment of RMB167.5 million (US$25.0 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared with a gain of RMB370.3 million in the second quarter of 2026 and a gain of RMB60.7 million in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were primarily due to the changes in fair value of several companies we invested in.

Other (Loss)/Income, Net

Net other income in the third quarter of 2026 was RMB79.1 million (US$11.8 million), compared with net other loss of RMB23.9 million in the second quarter of 2026 and net other loss of RMB121.8 million in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were partially due to the changes in the fair value of financial instruments in the third quarter of 2026.

Gain from disposal of subsidiaries

We did not recognize any gain from disposal of subsidiaries in the third quarter of 2026. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a pre-tax disposal gain of approximately RMB236.6 million in connection with the transfer of 75.1% equity interest in Jinko Solar (U.S.) Industries Inc. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a pre-tax disposal gain of approximately RMB72.0 million in connection with the transfer of 80% equity interest in Zhejiang New Materials Co., Ltd.

The Company indirectly holds equity interests in several affiliated companies engaged in solar business, which are accounted for using the equity method. The Company recorded equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB10.7 million (US$1.6 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared with equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB78.6 million in the second quarter of 2026 and equity in income of affiliated companies of RMB2.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. The fluctuations in equity in loss or income of affiliated companies primarily arose from changes in the net loss or income of the affiliated companies.

Income Tax Benefit

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of RMB117.6 million (US$17.5 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared with income tax benefit of RMB163.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 and income tax benefit of RMB191.6 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to RMB40.2 million (US$6.0 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared with net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of RMB569.9 million in the second quarter of 2026 and net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of RMB385.8 million in the third quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year decreases were mainly attributable to the narrowing of net loss at Jiangxi Jinko, the Company’s majority-owned principal operating subsidiary.

Net Loss and Losses per Share

Net loss attributable to Jinko Holdings Limited’s ordinary shareholders was RMB170.0 million (US$25.4 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared with net loss attributable to Jinko Holdings Limited’s ordinary shareholders of RMB697.3 million in the second quarter of 2026 and net loss attributable to Jinko Holdings Limited’s ordinary shareholders of RMB749.8 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Powered by PIPA’s Food Innovation Operating System (FIOS®), this landmark collaboration demonstrates a new model for ingredient discovery. A brand can now search an entire compound space, rule out unsafe or unviable candidates before the lab, and reach validation in a single quarter.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. and DAVIS, Calif., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Life Extension and PIPA today announced the results of a 13‑week AI‑driven discovery collaboration aimed at identifying a new generation of natural bioactive compounds with potential functional benefits. Using FIOS, the teams screened ~600,000 natural molecules across multiple biological pathways and advanced five candidates for validation, each already assessed for safety, sourcing feasibility, and regulatory precedent.

The program compresses a discovery process that can traditionally take months or years into a single quarter, while giving scientists a far broader field of candidates to explore. Rather than selecting a small set of ingredients first and addressing commercial constraints later, Life Extension and PIPA screened the full compound space upfront and applied safety, sourcing, and regulatory criteria from the beginning.

A total of 352 high‑value bioactives were identified for scientific review, with five progressing to 60‑to‑90‑day validation programs with predefined go/no‑go criteria.

Traditional supplement development is constrained by how many compounds a research team can practically evaluate. Promising ingredients may also fail late in development because they cannot be sourced reliably, supported from a safety standpoint, or brought to market within regulatory requirements.

With FIOS, PIPA evaluated hundreds of thousands of molecules across several biological mechanisms in parallel, while filtering for practical development requirements before candidates reached Life Extension’s scientists.

Fewer than one in 100,000 screened molecules advanced to the final five. Before interpreting the new results, PIPA also benchmarked the screening system against established pharmacology. Each selected lead entered validation with a proposed mechanism of action and documented safety rationale.

AI‑enabled discovery expands the ingredient pool by screening more natural compounds for both biological promise and real‑world viability from the start.

Dr. Andrew Swick, Ph.D., Life Extension Chief Science Office commented, “AI‑driven discovery enables us to evaluate a far broader universe of natural compounds with the scientific rigor Life Extension is known for. By integrating safety, sourcing, and regulatory considerations from the start, we can focus on candidates with real‑world potential and accelerate responsible innovation.”

“FIOS searches far wider and asks the safety, regulatory, and sourcing questions first,” said Eric Hamborg, CCO of PIPA. “Life Extension’s scientists worked on the strongest candidates instead of spending months narrowing the field.”
