Singlewire Software Report Finds K-12 Emergency Readiness Is Built in the Daily Routine
Published
27 minutes agoon
August 26, 2026By
An analysis of more than 19.5 million notifications from approximately 16,000 schools shows that 92% of K-12 communication is routine — and that the systems schools trust in a crisis are the ones they rely on every day.
Key Facts:
Not a survey: Drawn from actual usage across approximately 16,000 K-12 schools during the 2025–26 school year.Routine builds readiness: Operational messages account for 92% of K-12 notifications, so the systems used in a crisis are already familiar before one arises.Email outpaces app alerts: 76.7% of schools used email: more than mobile app push (56.5%) or text (53.1%).Threats don’t watch the clock: More than 52,000 emergency messages went out on weekends, with a rise in overnight activity between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m.
MADISON, Wis., Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The best time to prepare a school for an emergency is every day before it. New data from Singlewire Software shows that routine communication makes up the vast majority of activity across K-12 schools, and that this everyday use forms the foundation for a confident emergency response.
Singlewire Software’s The State of K-12 Critical Communications: 2025–26 School Year report analyzes actual notification activity from approximately 16,000 K-12 schools that use the Singlewire InformaCast critical communication and incident management platform. The analysis covers more than 19.5 million notifications and more than 343 million device activations across the full 2025–26 school year.
Unlike a survey, the report offers a system-of-record view of how schools genuinely used their communication systems, message by message, throughout the year.
“Emergency readiness is built long before an emergency happens,” said Terry Swanson, president and CEO of Singlewire Software. “When staff use their communication systems every day, those systems become familiar infrastructure instead of something to figure out under pressure. This data shows that everyday reliability is the foundation of emergency readiness.”
The Numbers Tell a Clear Story
Across the K-12 schools analyzed:
92% of notifications were operational communications; only 8% were emergency alerts.Automated bell schedules accounted for 60% of messaging and live paging for another 28% — together, roughly 88% of everything schools sent.80% of emergency communications occurred during the school day, peaking between 8 and 9 a.m. as students arrived and moved between classes.Emergency communication ran about 23% higher on Wednesdays and Thursdays than on Mondays, the quietest weekday.85.9% of schools used in-building devices such as speakers, phones, and displays, while 76.7% used email: more than mobile app push (56.5%) or text (53.1%).Smaller districts sent roughly three times more messages per student than large districts (a median of about 6.5 versus 2.0), because communication scales with the number of buildings rather than total enrollment.
Lockdown Dominates Real-World Emergency Communication, Drills Show a Different Mix
The “I Love U Guys” Foundation’s five standard response protocols are Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter, and they are used by tens of thousands of schools across the country. Of those five actions, Lockdown accounted for approximately 72% of real-world emergency message volume, nearly 10 times the combined volume of the other four. Singlewire Software is a proud mission partner of The “I Love U Guys” Foundation.
“A shared response vocabulary works best when schools exercise it consistently,” Swanson said. “Seeing how much communication each action generates, in both real activity and drills, gives school leaders a starting point to ask whether their communication patterns line up with their training.”
Emergency Communication Doesn’t Stop at Dismissal
The data also shows why districts should plan beyond the traditional school day. Schools sent about 52,000 emergency notifications on weekends, and overnight activity rose between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. — a window that can signal after-hours issues waiting to affect the next school day.
Because messaging volume scales by building rather than by district size, smaller districts see a much higher concentration of communication per student. That makes building-by-building coverage a key consideration for leaders managing campuses of any size.
What School Leaders Can Take From the Data
The findings point to several practical steps for K-12 leaders:
Use your communication systems every day. Daily use builds the familiarity that pays off in a crisis.Drill for real-world risks. Compare your drill communication with your real-world activity so the two patterns stay aligned.Layer your channels. In-building systems, mobile alerts, email, and text each reach people the others may miss.Plan for after-hours incidents. Safety communication needs continue during evenings, weekends, and overnight.Check coverage building by building. As districts grow, per-student reach thins, so confirm every facility and every person is covered regardless of enrollment.

JinkoSolar Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Published
27 minutes agoon
August 26, 2026By
SHANGRAO, China, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (“JinkoSolar” or the “Company”) (NYSE: JKS), a global leader in clean energy technology, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Second Quarter 2026 Business Highlights
Core Solar and Energy Storage Business Highlights
Total module shipments for the first half of 2026 were 29.6 GW, with approximately 70% shipped to overseas markets. By the end of the second quarter, we became the first module manufacturer in the world to have delivered a total of over 420 GW of solar modules, with total shipments of the Tiger Neo series surpassing 250 GW, making it the best-selling module series in our history.In June 2026, we set new performance benchmarks for our TOPCon modules with the launch of the next-generation Tiger Neo 5.0 module, featuring power output of over 700 W and module efficiency of up to 25.91%.Shipments of energy storage system for the first half of 2026 increased significantly year-over-year, accompanied by an expansion in gross margin.
Strategic Investment Highlights
During the second quarter, the Company, together with investment funds in which it participates, completed strategic investments across 13 projects in renewable energy, advanced materials, AI, and other frontier technologies.During the first half of 2026, the Company disposed of a substantial portion of its equity interest in LAPLACE Renewable Energy Technology Co., Ltd., generating over RMB300 million in cash proceeds. Since our initial investment, the cumulative realized gain on this disposal (net of cost and transaction fees) exceeded RMB250 million. This gain was recognized over multiple periods through fair value adjustments following its IPO in late 2024, with over RMB100 million recorded in change in fair value of long-term investment upon settlement in the first half of 2026.Additionally, our portfolio company, Hangzhou Gold Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., successfully completed its public listing during the second quarter, marking an important milestone in the development of our strategic investment portfolio.
Second Quarter 2026 Operational and Financial Highlights
Quarterly shipments of solar modules were 15,961 MW, up 16.7% sequentially and down 34.4% year-over-year.Total revenues were RMB12.36 billion (US$1.82 billion), up 0.9% sequentially and down 31.3% year-over-year.Gross profit was RMB 513.1 million (US$75.6 million), down 49.6% sequentially and 2.5% year-over-year.Gross profit margin was 4.2%, compared with gross profit margin of 8.3% in Q1 2026 and gross profit margin of 2.9% in Q2 2025.Net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders was RMB697.3 million (US$102.8 million), compared with net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders of RMB463.5 million in Q1 2026 and net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders of RMB876.4 million in Q2 2025.Adjusted net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders was RMB910.8 million (US$134.2 million), which excludes the impact of (i) the change in fair value of long-term investment, (ii) gain from disposal of a subsidiary, and (iii) share-based compensation expenses, compared with adjusted net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders of RMB549.3 million in Q1 2026 and adjusted net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.’s ordinary shareholders of RMB856.4 million in Q2 2025.Basic and diluted losses per ordinary share were RMB3.30 (US$0.49) and RMB3.30 (US$0.49), respectively. This translates into basic and diluted losses per ADS of RMB13.19 (US$1.94) and RMB13.19 (US$1.94), respectively.
Mr. Dimi Du, JinkoSolar’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Module shipments increased sequentially to approximately 16 GW during the quarter, bringing first half module shipments to approximately 29.6 GW, once again at the forefront of industry. By the end of the second quarter, cumulative shipments of our high-efficiency N-type Tiger Neo series surpassed 250 GW, making it the best-selling module series in our history. Leveraging a sales network covering nearly 200 countries and regions and 35 service centers globally, shipments to overseas markets accounted for around 70% of the first half total. Supply and demand across the PV industry remain dynamic and with policy shifts in both domestic and overseas markets, prices along the supply chain and industry profitability continued to be under pressure. The cost of ramping up production of our high-efficiency products remained elevated during the quarter and impacted our gross margin and bottom line when combined with the delivery of certain low-value orders. In response, we optimized our order book and geographic mix, managed utilization rates, and continued to increase the proportion of high-efficiency products within our total shipments while introducing technologies that lower costs.
The PV industry is gradually shifting its focus from production capacity and shipment scale toward effective supply, product value, and earnings quality. The mandatory national energy efficiency standard for modules and inverters, released in July 2026, will take effect in January 2027 and sets minimum energy efficiency thresholds for market access. We are already seeing this shift in customer behavior, with the share of tenders for high-efficiency modules increasing significantly which also command a premium. The distributed PV market is likewise transitioning from scale-driven growth toward scenario-based and operational value. We believe these changes will benefit industry leaders such as ourselves, allowing us to capitalize on our advanced manufacturing capacity, technological expertise, established brands and global delivery capabilities.
We expect to have more than 40 GW of TOPCon 3.0 production capacity by the end of 2026. Based on the current standard requirements, the relevant products are expected to meet the Level 1 energy-efficiency requirements. In June, we unveiled our next-generation Tiger Neo 5.0 modules, which, through the optimization of multiple core technologies, achieved mass-produced efficiency of 25.91% and power output of over 700 W, once again setting a new benchmark for TOPCon product performance. We are also extending our technology into scenario-based applications, most recently through Sunny 365, a suite of integrated solar-plus-storage solutions designed for retail, AIDC and manufacturing scenarios.
Our energy storage systems (ESS) business maintained its momentum, with shipments in the first half of the year increasing significantly year-over-year and gross margin improving year-over-year. Given uncertainties in the timing of project delivery and other factors, recognized revenue remains in the ramp-up stage. As project deliveries increase, alongside the ongoing enhancement of our proprietary PCS, EMS and other capabilities, we expect to improve the recognition contribution and profit realization and to drive higher-quality growth in this business.
Alongside our core businesses, we are building an investment platform as a complementary driver of long-term value creation.
Over the past several years, we have made selective investments in more than 40 projects through direct investments and investment funds in which we participate, initially focusing on the solar and energy storage value chains and more recently extending into AI and other frontier technologies. During the first half of 2026, we divested a substantial portion of our equity interest in LAPLACE Renewable Energy Technology Co., Ltd., generating cash proceeds of over RMB300 million, while Hangzhou Gold Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., one of our portfolio companies, successfully completed its listing on the ChiNext Market of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. These milestones demonstrate the progress we are making in realizing value from our investment portfolio. We will continue to allocate capital prudently, with the long-term development of our core solar and energy storage businesses remaining our top priority, while selectively pursuing strategic investments that can support sustainable long-term value creation.
Looking ahead, we expect our annual integrated production capacity to reach approximately 100 GW by year-end 2026, including approximately 14 GW from overseas facilities. Considering demand dynamics in certain markets, we will place greater emphasis on balancing shipment volume, profitability, cash flow and order quality, and are adjusting our full year 2026 module shipment guidance to between 60 GW and 70 GW, with high-efficiency products accounting for over 60% of the total shipments. For the third quarter of 2026, we expect module shipments to be between 15 GW and 17 GW.”
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Total Revenues
Total revenues in the second quarter of 2026 were RMB12.36 billion (US$1.82 billion), representing an increase of 0.9% from RMB12.25 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and a decrease of 31.3% from RMB17.99 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly due to the fluctuations in the shipment volume of solar modules.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB513.1 million (US$75.6 million), compared with gross profit of RMB1.02 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and gross profit of RMB526.5 million in the second quarter of 2025.
Gross profit margin was 4.2% in the second quarter of 2026, compared with gross profit margin of 8.3% in the first quarter of 2026 and gross profit margin of 2.9% in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential decrease was mainly due to a lower average selling price of solar modules, while the year-over-year increase was primarily due to the higher average selling price of solar modules, partially offset by a higher unit cost of products sold.
Loss from Operations and Operating Margin
Loss from operations in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB1.44 billion (US$211.7 million), compared with loss from operations of RMB588.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 and loss from operations of RMB1.38 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential increase was primarily attributable to the decrease in our gross margin in the second quarter of 2026, while the year-over-year increase was primarily due to the increase in our operating expenses in the second quarter of 2026.
Operating loss margin was 11.6% in the second quarter of 2026, compared with operating loss margin of 4.8% in the first quarter of 2026 and operating loss margin of 7.7% in the second quarter of 2025.
Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were RMB1.95 billion (US$287.3 million), representing an increase of 21.3% from RMB1.61 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase of 2.3% from RMB1.91 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year increases were primarily due to higher expected credit losses in the second quarter of 2026.
Total operating expenses accounted for 15.8% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 13.1% in the first quarter of 2026 and 10.6% in the second quarter of 2025.
Interest Expenses and Interest Income
Interest expenses were RMB386.9 million (US$57.0 million), and interest income was RMB113.6 million (US$16.7 million) in the second quarter of 2026.
Net interest expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were RMB273.3 million (US$40.3 million), representing an increase of 0.9% from RMB270.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase of 45.9% from RMB187.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to new lease liabilities recognized in connection with lease contracts executed in late 2025.
Subsidy Income
Subsidy income in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB201.8 million (US$29.7 million), compared with RMB331.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and RMB12.0 million in the second 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
The Company recorded a net exchange loss of RMB325.4 million (US$48.0 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net exchange loss of RMB482.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 and a net exchange gain of RMB276.7 million in the second 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 second quarter of 2026.
Change in Fair Value of Forward Contracts and Commodity Futures
The Company recorded a net loss from change in fair value of forward contracts and commodity futures of RMB48.4 million (US$7.1 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of RMB354.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 and a net loss of RMB178.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential improvement was mainly due to the decrease of loss from change in fair value of commodity futures in the second quarter of 2026, while the year-over-year improvement was primarily due to the decrease of loss from change in fair value of forward contracts in the second quarter of 2026.
Change in Fair Value of Long-term Investment
The Company holds certain equity interests in several companies operating across the photovoltaic, energy storage, and artificial intelligence sectors, which are recorded as long-term investment and available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as gains or losses. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had RMB1.99 billion (US$294.0 million) in long-term investment (excluding the investments accounted for under the equity method and held-to-maturity debt securities) and available-for-sale securities, compared with RMB1.10 billion as of March 31, 2026.
The Company recognized a gain from change in fair value of long-term investment of RMB 370.3 million (US$54.6 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with a gain of RMB124.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 and a gain of RMB42.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year improvements were primarily due to fair value gains from a previously invested company that went public in the second quarter of 2026, reflecting both post-IPO share price appreciation on the original investment and the incremental fair value from additional investments made during the second quarter of 2026.
Other Loss/Income, Net
Net other loss in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB23.9 million (US$3.5million), compared with net other income of RMB34.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and net other loss of RMB204.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly due to the changes in the fair value of financial instruments in the second quarter of 2026.
Gain from disposal of a subsidiary
On May 31, 2026, we completed the transfer of 75.1% equity interest in Jinko Solar (U.S.) Industries Inc. to FH JKV Holdings Limited for total cash consideration of RMB1.31 billion (US$191.5 million). The transaction resulted in a pre-tax disposal gain of approximately RMB236.6 million (US$34.9 million). Effective upon closing, the subsidiary’s financial results are no longer consolidated in our financial statements, and our retained 24.9% equity interest is subsequently measured and recognized using the equity method.
Equity in Loss of Affiliated Companies
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 RMB78.6 million (US$11.6 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB54.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 and equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB70.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. The fluctuations in equity in loss of affiliated companies primarily arose from the changes in net losses incurred by the affiliated companies.
Income Tax Benefit
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of RMB163.7 million (US$24.1 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with income tax benefit of RMB379.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 and income tax benefit of RMB288.8 million in the second quarter of 2025.
Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to RMB569.9 million (US$84.0million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of RMB449.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 and net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of RMB546.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to the fluctuations in net loss of Jiangxi Jinko, the Company’s majority-owned principal operating subsidiary.
Net Loss and Losses per Share
