NetActuate makes NETINT Quadra VPU acceleration available as a service on a global anycast network as an industry alternative to hardware procurement and hyperscaler clouds.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NetActuate, a leading provider of global infrastructure and network services in more than 45 locations worldwide, today announced that NETINT Quadra Video Processing Units (VPUs) are now live in 15 of its global points of presence, with additional locations available for custom deployments. The expansion builds on the companies’ February partnership announcement and will be on display at NETINT’s booth, 1.D49, throughout IBC 2026.

NetActuate’s VPU-as-a-Service offering provides the infrastructure needed to give engineering teams direct, self-service access to purpose-built video-processing silicon without the need to secure any servers or VPU cards themselves. Customers attach a NETINT VPU directly to a virtual machine, or managed Kubernetes node in NetActuate’s network through a secure passthrough, with full pipeline control, tooling, metrics, and observability. Integrations with bare metal servers are also available.

Where a hyperscaler’s black-box transcoding service means submitting jobs into someone else’s pipeline and accepting its pricing and turnaround, NetActuate’s model puts the VPU directly in the customer’s own VM or Kubernetes node, deployable in seconds rather than days or weeks. The VPU works with the encoding software teams already run, open source or commercial, so nobody has to give up a pipeline to get the economics of dedicated silicon. Teams attach a VPU and keep the workflow they trust, at a fraction of general-purpose cloud compute cost, with no lock-in to a single provider’s proprietary transcoding API. NETINT’s own Bitstreams software and Bitstreams Manager run on the VPU for teams that want a complete platform from one vendor.

“Streaming teams want the performance of dedicated video silicon without losing control of their own workflow,” said Randal Horne, Chief Revenue Officer at NETINT Technologies. “NetActuate’s expansion to 15 locations, combined with self-service deployment and now the Marketplace, gives teams a fast, low-risk way to prove out VPU-based encoding on real infrastructure before committing to scale.”

“NETINT built the VPU category, and this is what deploying on it should feel like: you pick your compute, you attach the accelerator, and you’re running your own pipeline in seconds instead of negotiating with a black box,” said Mark Mahle, CEO of NetActuate. “Pairing that with the Marketplace means a customer can build a complete stack with encoding, streaming, delivery from software they already trust, running in markets of their choice.”

Media Marketplace

The NETINT partnership also now extends to the NetActuate Media Marketplace, which runs on the same global network as VPU acceleration. Customers can pair NETINT’s own Bitstreams encoding software with a partner appliance to assemble a full video processing stack from ingest to delivery, without a proprietary hyperscaler service getting in the way.

Now Available

VPUaaS is available now as a turnkey offering on NetActuate’s platform: a VPU-enabled virtual machine or Kubernetes node deploys in seconds from the NetActuate portal or API, with pre-installed capacity live today in 15 locations and custom hardware builds available in other markets on request.

NetActuate is available to discuss deployment options for any workload size and will set up a no-charge evaluation deployment for qualified prospects evaluating VPU-based encoding. Talk to the team at IBC to scope a deployment, or visit NETINT at booth 1.D49 during IBC 2026, September 11 to 14 in Amsterdam, to see the integration live.

Services of cloud and AI infrastructure revenue increased 83.1% year over year and 26.2% quarter over quarter, accounting for 72.8% of Global Enterprise Services revenue and 22.2% of total revenues and making a positive contribution to the adjusted operating results of Global Enterprise Services.Robotics and others revenue increased 72.5% year over year and 6.4% quarter over quarter, accounting for 20.5% of total revenues.

BEIJING, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cheetah Mobile Inc. (“Cheetah Mobile” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CMCM), a China-based IT company with a commitment to AI innovation, today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Financial Highlights

Total revenues were RMB266.1 million (US$39.2 million) in the second quarter of 2026, representing a decrease of 9.9% year over year and an increase of 2.7% quarter over quarter.Advertising agency services revenue, which is included in the Global Enterprise Services segment, decreased 70.0% year over year and 15.0% quarter over quarter to RMB22.0 million, primarily due to changes in rebate policies implemented by a major global advertising platform. Its contribution to total revenues declined to 8.3% from 24.9% in the same period last year. Revenues excluding advertising agency services were RMB244.1 million, increasing approximately 10.1% year over year and 4.7% quarter over quarter. The decline in advertising agency services revenue was a significant factor in the year-over-year increase in the Company’s operating loss in the second quarter of 2026. In the Global Enterprise Services segment, revenues from services of cloud and AI infrastructure increased 83.1% year over year and 26.2% quarter over quarter to RMB59.1 million, accounting for 72.8% of Global Enterprise Services revenue and 22.2% of total revenues, compared with approximately 10.9% of total revenues in the same period last year. The increase was driven by growing demand from enterprises expanding overseas for cloud resources, computing power and AI model services.Robotics and others revenue increased 72.5% year over year and 6.4% quarter over quarter to RMB54.5 million, accounting for 20.5% of total revenues, driven by an increase in sales volume of our robotic products. The year-over-year increase benefited from the contribution of UFACTORY, a provider of lightweight robotic arms acquired by the Company on July 29, 2025.Internet value-added services revenue, which is included in the Internet Services segment, increased 6.7% year over year and 2.9% quarter over quarter to RMB101.2 million, accounting for 77.6% of segment revenue, and 38.0% of total revenues, due to increase in user base and distribution channels.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had RMB1,271.0 million (US$187.3 million) in cash and cash equivalents.

Management Commentary

Fu Sheng, Chief Executive Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: “During the second quarter, we continued to evolve our business mix, with revenue from services of cloud and AI infrastructure within Global Enterprise Services growing 83.1% year over year, driven by demand from enterprises expanding overseas for cloud and AI infrastructure services, accounting for 22.2% total revenues in the quarter. Gross billings[1] from services of cloud and AI infrastructure exceeded RMB500 million during the quarter, compared with about RMB200 million in the same period last year and about RMB300 million in the previous quarter, reflecting the rapid expansion of customer demand and business scale. Robotics and others revenue increased 72.5% year over year and accounted for 20.5% of total revenues in the quarter, with new initiatives such as smart mobility beginning to contribute revenue. The growth of these AI-related businesses underscores the progress of our AI-driven transformation.

Internet Services remained a stable foundation for our business. Internet value-added services revenue increased both year over year and sequentially and represented 77.6% of segment revenue. While advertising agency services revenue within Global Enterprise Services remained under pressure, growth in services of cloud and AI infrastructure and Robotics and others supported the Company’s return to sequential revenue growth while strengthening our foundation for future growth.”

Thomas Ren, Chief Financial Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: “Second-quarter revenue increased 2.7% sequentially. Operating loss was RMB33.6 million, compared with RMB28.3 million in the previous quarter, while non-GAAP operating loss remained relatively stable at RMB25.6 million, compared with RMB22.5 million in the previous quarter.

The sequential movement in non-GAAP operating loss reflected higher adjusted operating profit in Internet Services, offset by lower adjusted operating profit in Global Enterprise Services resulting from lower advertising agency services revenue, as well as a wider adjusted operating loss in Robotics and others. Adjusted operating profit from Internet Services increased 14.2% year over year and 67.2% sequentially, with adjusted operating margin improving to 19.4%. Services of cloud and AI infrastructure continued to scale rapidly. However, the growth of cloud and AI infrastructure services partially offset the negative impact of lower advertising agency services revenue on the segment’s adjusted operating profit. We ended the quarter with US$187.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, providing us with the flexibility to invest prudently in our AI and robotics businesses.”

Non-GAAP operating loss was RMB25.6 million (US$3.8 million), compared with RMB2.1 million in the same period last year and RMB22.5 million in the first quarter of 2026. The year-over-year increase primarily reflected lower advertising agency services revenue within the Global Enterprise Services segment.

Adjusted operating profit from Internet Services was RMB25.4 million, increasing by 14.2% year over year and 67.2% quarter over quarter. Adjusted operating margin for the segment expanded to 19.4%, compared with 14.1% in the same period last year and 11.3% in the first quarter of 2026.

Adjusted operating profit from Global Enterprise Services was RMB9.3 million, decreasing by 80.7% year over year and 32.0% quarter over quarter, primarily reflecting lower advertising agency services revenue. The continued strong growth of services of cloud and AI infrastructure provided a positive contribution to the segment’s adjusted operating results.

However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company’s net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Cheetah Mobile Inc. Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results”.
