Mr. Eric Long Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ZKH, stated, “We are off to a strong start in 2026, with GMV and revenue growth accelerating year over year for the second consecutive quarter. GMV and revenues delivered their highest quarterly year-over-year growth in recent quarters, reflecting robust customer demand and strengthening execution across our platform. Momentum remained broad-based across key customer segments, with small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) sustaining over 20% GMV growth and central state-owned enterprises (SOEs) returning to double-digit year-over-year GMV growth. More importantly, the quality of our growth continued to improve, driving significant earnings improvement on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Underpinning this performance was our continued progress in strengthening our product ecosystem, fulfillment network, and AI-powered digitalization, which improved our customer penetration, execution capabilities, and platform scalability. Looking ahead, we believe the solid operational foundation we have built positions us well to further scale the business, improve profitability, and create long-term value for our shareholders.”
Mr. Max Chun Chiu Lai, Chief Financial Officer of ZKH, added, “Our financial profile improved meaningfully during the quarter. Gross profit achieved year-over-year growth, while gross margin on a GMV basis improved by 0.9 percentage points sequentially. At the same time, operating loss and net loss narrowed significantly year over year, reflecting ongoing enhancement in our operating efficiency and business quality. Notably, non-GAAP adjusted net profit increased by approximately 103.4% year over year, representing a significant turnaround and marking the first time we achieved non-GAAP profitability in a seasonally soft first quarter. These encouraging results further strengthened our confidence in achieving double-digit GMV growth and full-year profitability in 2026. In addition, operating cash flow continued to improve year over year, further reinforcing our financial resilience.”

First Quarter 2026 Business Highlights
Business Momentum. The Company continued to build on its growth momentum during the quarter, with total GMV increasing 12.9% year over year, accelerating from both the previous quarter and the same period last year. The ZKH platform deepened penetration across its diversified customer segments: GMV from SME customers was up 20% year over year and GMV from central SOE customers returned to double-digit growth. The GBB platform achieved over 30% year-over-year GMV growth, further expanding its customer reach and reinforcing the Company’s complementary dual-platform growth strategy.
Product Capabilities. The Company strengthened product capabilities across high-value and highly specialized industrial scenarios, with increased investments in ten key product lines, including factory automation, electrical automation, and cutting tools. GMV from key industries such as electrical manufacturing, steel and non-ferrous metals, and communications electronics grew by over 20% year over year, while professional MRO categories such as factory automation components and chemical reagents achieved double-digit growth. During the quarter, the Company added roughly 4 million sellable SKUs, bringing the total to approximately 27 million. At the same time, GMV from higher-margin private-label products grew by over 20% year over year and accounted for approximately 9.7% of total GMV in the first quarter of 2026, with over 400 new products launched during the quarter.
Fulfillment Network. The Company enhanced its fulfillment capacity and operational efficiency, supported by the continued expansion of its self-operated delivery fleet and a 36% year-over-year improvement in warehouse utilization efficiency. Continued optimization across its end-to-end fulfillment network drove a 17% year-over-year decrease in fulfillment expenses.
AI Capabilities. The Company continued to advance its full-stack AI capabilities, further strengthening its integrated AI infrastructure and accelerating AI adoption across both internal and external business scenarios.
At the data layer, the Company continued to strengthen its industrial product data infrastructure. In 2026, the Company targets building the industry’s first hundred-million-scale industrial product data dictionary. The enhanced data capabilities are expected to further accelerate AI adoption across key workflows. In business scenarios involving product search and quotations from customers, AI currently handles roughly 30% of product matching and identification tasks that previously required manual processing. This percentage is expected to increase meaningfully in 2026, with key product lines such as fasteners, pipes and valves, and hand tools potentially achieving even higher levels, further improving quotation efficiency and sales conversion.At the model layer, the Company upgraded its proprietary MRO large language model, “Hangjia Linglong (行家玲珑),” with enhanced multimodal capabilities, and launched “Hangjia Huiyan (行家慧眼),” the industry’s first intelligent visual search engine for industrial products. Powered by advanced image recognition and multimodal AI capabilities, Hangjia Huiyan enables intelligent product identification, scenario understanding and demand diagnosis across complex industrial environments, significantly improving communication, product matching and procurement efficiency.At the application layer, the Company continued to optimize key AI applications across core business functions, unlocking greater operational efficiency and commercial value across key industrial supply chain scenarios. The ProductRecom Agent (AI推品大脑), which generated over RMB200 million in sales in 2025, is expected to further scale its impact and commercial contribution in 2026.International Expansion. The Company maintained solid momentum in serving Chinese manufacturers expanding overseas, with continued growth in both customers served and geographic coverage during the quarter. In the U.S. market, the Company further optimized its product development, sales channels, and fulfillment capabilities, strengthening its localized service and operations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/profit, non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/profit per ADS, basic and diluted, and non-GAAP EBITDA. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from or construed as alternatives to their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures in reconciliation to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/profit for a specific period as net loss in the same period excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expenses, income tax expenses/(benefits) and depreciation and amortization expenses. Non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/profit per ADS is calculated by dividing adjusted net (loss)/profit attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the periods and then multiplied by 35.
The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in net loss and certain expenses that are not expected to result in future cash payments or that are non-recurring in nature. The Company also believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of its operating performance, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management in financial and operational decision making.
The non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations as analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures do not include all income and expense items that affect the Company’s operations. They may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider the non-GAAP financial measures as substitutes for, or superior to, their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.

Poll finds surging demand for AI-based video encoding
Published
15 minutes agoon
September 22, 2026By
HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hikvision has developed Guanlan Encoding, a technology that uses AI to identify more and less information-rich areas in video images and encodes every frame accordingly.
To gauge the potential impact of the new technology, asmag.com and Hikvision have teamed up for a survey of asmag readers, entitled “AI encoding technology for video security,” and asked them about their experience with the “storage challenge” and where they see potential in their projects for AI-based encoding.
Storage pressure is real and growing
When asked “How significant a challenge is video storage cost or capacity in your business or projects?” a large number of respondents—38.2%—identified storage pressure as a “major challenge.” It was the second-most given answer among all respondents, trailing closely behind 43.2% who said storage is a “moderate” challenge. When asked “Has the storage challenge changed compared to 12 months ago?” the largest share of respondents—once again 43.2%—said it has “increased moderately.”
Guanlan Encoding—Hikvision’s solution to a growing pain point
Guanlan Encoding is built on the H.265 standard and integrates Hikvision’s Guanlan Large-Scale AI Model into continuous encoding workflows. Rather than compressing every part of a frame equally—the approach traditional codecs take—Guanlan Encoding identifies which parts of a scene matter most, such as people, vehicles and other moving objects, and allocates more detail to them. Static or low-motion background footage, by contrast, is compressed far more aggressively.
According to Hikvision, this combination of different compression rates in the same frame helps reduce storage needs by 30% to 50% on average without sacrificing details that matter for investigations and monitoring.
Guanlan is already gaining ground
Even though it was introduced so recently, over half of survey respondents expressed familiarity with Guanlan Encoding: 43.3% said they are “familiar with it” despite not yet having hands-on experience, while 8.3% said they are already using the technology.
Overall, the survey showed the severity of the storage challenge, but also that Hikvision is well positioned to offer a significant fix to the pain point. Guanlan Encoding plays a key role as it uses AI not to produce more data, but to reduce the burden of more data on storage infrastructure.

Noah Holdings Hosts 2026 Global Investor Summit “The Year of Realization: A New Chapter in Global Allocation”

Serving Global Chinese Families With a Global Investment Network, Licensed Teams and AI Capabilities
HONG KONG, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Noah Holdings Limited (“Noah” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NOAH; HKEX: 6686), a wealth management institution serving global Chinese families, together with its global asset allocation platform Olive Asset Management (“Olive”), successfully held its 2026 Global Investor Summit, themed “The Year of Realization: A New Chapter in Global Allocation,” in Hong Kong. Addressing the industry transformation driven by AI and the long-term wealth needs of global Chinese families, Noah discussed how it is combining the global investment network and professional expertise it has developed over the years with AI capabilities to build a wealth management system that clients can use and rely on over the long term.
Investment professionals from Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP, a part of BlackRock), Macquarie Asset Management, Bridgepoint, HarbourVest Partners and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Asset Management attended the summit and participated in discussions. Noah’s global network of investment managers is an important foundation of its investment capabilities. Through its ongoing investments in funds globally, Noah and Olive continue to build relationships with managers and accumulate underlying research data, drawing on these resources to understand industry shifts, validate investment judgments and support clients’ long-term asset allocation.
Understanding the Responsibility of Wealth Management, Starting From Clients’ Long-Term Interests
Noah Holdings believes that the productivity shift brought by AI is changing how wealth is created and is placing new demands on families’ long-term planning. Wealth management needs to understand the long-term forces behind changes in technology, capital and family needs, while also factoring in family governance and succession. The responsibility of professional institutions is to help clients understand these changes and make judgments based on their own needs, building trust through long-term engagement.
Noah Holdings Chairwoman Norah Wang said: “Care is what expertise is for – that has always been Noah’s foundation. Our job is not to predict events, but to identify forces. Real care means using professional judgment to help clients see clearly which fluctuations they can bear, and which risks they must avoid.”
Noah Holdings CEO Zander Yin said at the summit that every technological revolution rewrites the world order and redraws the map of resources. The productivity shift now being driven by AI is no exception – it is likewise changing the path for corporate growth and investor participation.
Yin said: “The industrial revolutions of the past freed human hands; this AI revolution is further extending the human brain and human intelligence. Noah’s long-accumulated insight into GPs lets us keep observing how leading investment institutions make their choices. With AI, we are connecting this accumulated knowledge into clearer research threads – this ‘map’ is the trajectory of choices made by the world’s leading institutions. Following this map to identify companies worth deeper research is the approach we take.”
These judgments ultimately need to be embedded in a system clients can use. Noah’s three platforms operate in coordination: ARK Wealth Management handles account services and investment execution, covering the global banking system, trading channels, mutual funds and structured products; Olive Asset Management is responsible for long-term asset allocation, covering private equity, venture capital, real estate and global infrastructure; and Glory Family Heritage focuses on family protection and intergenerational planning, providing global family succession and lifestyle services. The three platforms work together within a unified framework to translate clients’ long-term needs into concrete investment, allocation and succession arrangements.
Noah Olive’s “Institutional Intelligence”: Making Judgment Evidence-Based and Experience Cumulative
Olive Asset Management Global CEO Peng Jing said at the summit that Olive is continuing to build its “institutional intelligence,” turning the research, decisions and experience accumulated through long-term investment practice into shared organizational methods and standards, so that professional judgment can accumulate over time, be tested, and improve through practice.
Observing the choices made by top-tier institutions is the starting point for research, not the conclusion. A global network of managers provides breadth of research, but institutional prestige and the number of investments alone cannot substitute for judgment. The team tracks how many genuinely independent sources of information support a given judgment, rather than simply counting how many firms have co-invested. At the execution level, Olive evaluates company quality and purchase price separately; at the research level, screening models need to be tested using only the information available at each historical point in time, with the methodology then refined based on actual outcomes. Project data, the basis for decisions, and the lessons drawn from both successes and mistakes are thereby retained within the organization over time. In this process, AI helps expand information coverage, detect anomalies and maintain ongoing tracking, while the professional team remains responsible for industry judgment, risk assessment and final decisions.
The summit also included a series of breakout sessions on topics such as cutting-edge technology in Silicon Valley, positioning in global private markets, opportunities in public markets, and family succession planning, with professionals from Noah and partner institutions taking part in the discussions.
Noah will continue to connect global investment resources, professional research and client service, working through its platforms to support the long-term investment and wealth succession needs of global Chinese families.
