Total revenue increased by 16.0% year over year to US$92.9 million, with PaaS revenue increasing by 16.9% and remaining the Company’s primary growth driver. This performance reflected resilient demand across selected home appliance categories and increasing adoption of differentiated, AI-enabled products and solutions.

Strategically, we continued to advance the productization and real-world deployment of AI. Shipments of our AI-powered companion product solutions continued to expand, while the launch of Tuya Cobuilder further lowered the barriers to AI hardware development by helping developers move more efficiently from product concept to physical-device deployment. Looking ahead, we will remain focused on AI-native application innovation, AI developer platform development and the global expansion of validated solutions.”

We ended the quarter with approximately US$976.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and treasury securities, providing continued flexibility to support our AI capabilities, global expansion and long-term strategic investments.”

REVENUE

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2026 increased by 16.0% to US$92.9 million from US$80.1 million in the same period of 2025.

  • PaaS revenue in the second quarter of 2026 increased by 16.9% to US$67.9 million from US$58.1 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to increasing demand compared with the same period of 2025 and the Company’s strategic focus on customer needs and product enhancements, despite the disruptions in the international business environment due to tariff-related headwinds since April 2025. Our core customer base remained stable.
  • AI application & others revenue in the second quarter of 2026 increased by 3.9% to US$11.5 million from US$11.1 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to an increase in revenue from cloud-based services. During the quarter, the Company remained committed to offering recurring value-added services with AI application functions.
  • Smart home & robot product revenue in the second quarter of 2026 increased by 23.2% to US$13.5 million from US$10.9 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to growing customer demands.

  • Smart home & robot product gross margin in the second quarter of 2026 was 21.9%, compared to 22.5% in the same period of 2025.

  • Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were US$23.1 million, up 3.4% from US$22.4 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to i) higher employee-related cost and outsourced labor cost of US$1.2 million, ii) higher third-party cloud service fees of US$0.3 million, iii) partially offset by lower share-based compensation expenses of US$1.1 million as equity incentive awards granted at higher valuations in previous years have been gradually amortized.

  • General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were US$4.7 million, down 49.8% from US$9.4 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to i) lower share-based compensation expenses of US$5.3 million as equity incentive awards granted at higher valuations in previous years have been gradually amortized, ii) partially offset by higher allowance for credit losses of US$0.3 million.

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 – remain cautious in their planning. At the same time, we have observed more normalized project execution and continued demand recovery 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 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 the Company’s 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. 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 and credit-related impairment/(reversal) of long-term investments 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.

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 and credit-related impairment/(reversal) of long-term investments 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.

Beyond AI code generation: Saigon Technology solves the scaling bottleneck for mid-sized tech teams

SYDNEY, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As AI exponentially increases the volume of code generated by mid-sized technology teams, Saigon Technology, an AI-native software engineering partner, is deploying its integrated delivery system to solve the industry’s emerging scaling bottleneck. While engineers can now prototype features, write tests, and automate repetitive work faster than ever, many companies find their existing infrastructures struggling to keep pace with the accelerated output.

For Saigon Technology, the question is no longer simply how much more code AI can help a team produce, but whether the surrounding engineering framework can successfully scale to turn that capacity into reliable, production-ready software.

More Coding Capacity Does Not Mean More Engineering Capacity

AI coding assistants can increase development output, but engineering goes far beyond writing code. It also requires architecture, security, testing, infrastructure, reliability, integration, and production operations. AI can accelerate these tasks, but it does not automatically create the systems and standards needed to connect them.

Consider two approaches: Company A, with 10 engineers using AI coding assistants, and Company B, with AI embedded in an integrated engineering system covering reusable components, automated QA, DevOps, security, and architecture practices.

“Company A may produce more code as AI becomes embedded across its workflow. The software may still work well. But as output scales, there can also be more code to review, integrate, secure, test, and maintain,” said Phong Le, AI Tech Lead at Saigon Technology. “The issue is therefore whether the engineering system can turn additional coding capacity into scalable delivery.”

A Lesson From The Digital Transformation Era

The pattern is familiar with earlier technology shifts.

Cloud platforms, automation, and digital systems created significant new capabilities. But without supporting processes, governance, and operating models, organizations could also end up with fragmented systems, duplicated capabilities, and greater complexity.

AI-assisted development may create a similar challenge inside software engineering.

Why an AI-Native Engineering System Matters

This is where Saigon Technology’s AI-native engineering system comes in. The model is connecting engineers and AI with the systems required to deliver software across the full lifecycle.

That includes:

  • AI-assisted development: accelerating implementation and repetitive technical work
  • Reusable components and patterns: reducing duplicated effort and improving consistency
  • Automated QA and testing: validating a larger volume of AI-assisted output
  • DevOps and CI/CD: keeping higher development velocity manageable in delivery
  • Security and architecture practices: maintaining consistency across AI-assisted decisions
  • Cloud and production operations: supporting software beyond development

The value is the combination of people, AI, engineering standards, automation, and accumulated delivery experience working as one system.

What This Means for Established Technology Teams

A company may already have a capable CTO and engineering organization. The challenge may instead be balancing modernization with new product development, expanding an AI initiative while maintaining core platforms, or increasing delivery volume without growing the internal organization at the same pace.

In these situations, an external engineering partner can add more than developers. It can bring an established delivery system that complements the capabilities already inside the business.

This is the model Saigon Technology is applying as AI reshapes software delivery: using AI to expand coding capacity while connecting that capacity to the engineering practices required for reliable, scalable production delivery.

With 14+ years of software engineering experience, 400+ engineers, and 850+ projects delivered across industries, Saigon Technology is applying its AI-native engineering approach to help established technology teams expand what they can deliver without rebuilding their engineering operation from the ground up.

Hohhot, Inner Mongolia: Converting Prairie Winds into Computing Power


HOHHOT, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 August 2026 – On August 22, 2026, the fourth annual Green Computing Power (Artificial Intelligence) Conference was held on the picturesque Cilechuan Grassland in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Centered on the theme “Building Synergy between Computing and Electricity, Exploring New Horizons in Token Economy, and Creating the Future of Artificial Intelligence Together,” the conference presented the latest research achievements, including the Green Computing Power Development Research Report (2026), and showcased pilot initiatives such as “millisecond-level urban computing” applications. Prominent companies, including ByteDance and Cambricon, signed a series of significant agreements valued at tens of billions, focusing on green intelligent computing centers and token factories.

The Horinger New District Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park
The Horinger New District Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park

Why has the national computing power industry turned its attention here? Part of the answer lies in this vast grassland.

Wind turbine blades turn steadily, each rotation generating 12 kilowatt-hours of green electricity. Instead of feeding into the public grid, this clean energy is transmitted via a dedicated 41-kilometer line directly to data centers located tens of kilometers away.

Inside the machine rooms of these centers, rows of GPU arrays operate around the clock, powered mainly by wind and solar energy.

Training large-scale AI models utilizing tens of thousands of GPUs can consume over 100 million kilowatt-hours annually. For instance, the Hohhot Intelligent Computing Center, operated by China Mobile, incurred electricity costs of approximately 290 million yuan in 2025, accounting for more than 70% of its total operating expenses. In the competition for computing power, electricity costs proved to be a decisive factor. China’s strategic response includes the “East Data West Computing” project, which redirects the high computing demand from eastern regions to resource-rich western areas. The Horinger data center cluster in Hohhot is among the country’s top ten clusters.

The city is endowed with a combination of nearly optimal conditions for the selection of data center locations. With an average annual temperature of only 7°C and over 200 days per year suitable for direct outdoor air cooling, the center achieves more than 20% savings in cooling costs. At an electricity price of about 0.36 yuan per kilowatt-hour, a large-scale GPU cluster can save around 50 million yuan annually on power expenses. Currently, Hohhot’s total computing capacity reaches 150,000 P, with green electricity usage exceeding 80%.

However, the challenge lies in the “green” aspect itself.

Wind and solar power fluctuate with weather, while computing loads require an uninterrupted 24/7 power supply.

The local solution is an innovative “computing-electricity synergy” mechanism. China Huadian Corporation constructs a 360,000-kilowatt integrated wind-solar-storage power station, comprising 300,000 kilowatts of wind, 60,000 kilowatts of photovoltaic power, and energy storage capable of continuous four-hour regulation. A collaborative control platform collects data on wind output, solar irradiance, storage status, and computing load at millisecond intervals to dynamically allocate power: when green energy is abundant, storage systems charge and delay-tolerant computing tasks are prioritized; when green energy is limited, storage discharges, the public grid supplements power, and flexible tasks are deferred. This approach transforms power generation and consumption from a unidirectional supply model to a bidirectional interactive system.

On the consumption side, initiatives to minimize waste are also in progress. The Hohhot data center operated by China Mobile recovers waste heat from nearby power plants to provide cooling for machine rooms. The B02 machine hall has improved its Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) from 1.315 to 1.209, resulting in annual electricity savings of 560,000 kilowatt-hours since commencing operations. Upon full operation of two machine halls, annual savings are projected to reach 10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity and 150,000 tons of water.

Operational teams are actively optimizing equipment deployment.
Operational teams are actively optimizing equipment deployment.

Today, 62 computing center projects have clustered here, including data centers of China’s three major telecom operators, 16 financial institutions, and computing nodes from Huawei, ByteDance, Kuaishou, and others. Upstream, 45 manufacturing enterprises produce servers, cabinets, and sensors locally. According to the recently published three-year action plan, by 2028, Hohhot aims to establish 10 token factories capable of producing 20 trillion tokens daily. At that time, customers will procure not only cabinets and bandwidth but also directly accessible intelligent services customized to their requirements.

The prairie winds remain constant, as does the city’s commitment to converting every kilowatt-hour of green electricity into stable and reliable computing power.
