Mr. Ning Ding, chairman of the board of directors, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, commented, “We are pleased to report another period of strong revenue growth in the first half of 2026, reflecting our deeper participation in customer programs and the ongoing shift of our product portfolio toward more sophisticated, higher-value products with increased average selling prices. Notably, our revenues grew 36.60% year over year to US$33.74 million.
“As newer and increasingly complex products move into larger-scale production, we have made the necessary investments in materials, labor, manufacturing processes and production capacity to support their ramp-up and meet increasingly stringent customer requirements. We will continue to advance automation and process optimization to enhance manufacturing efficiency, while investing in research and development to strengthen our technical capabilities and support the continued growth of our high-value precision component business.
“On the demand side, AI infrastructure and liquid cooling are becoming increasingly important growth drivers for ZJK, as our strengths in precision manufacturing, product reliability and production consistency enable us to address the increasingly stringent requirements arising from the greater computing density and power consumption of AI systems. Subsequent to the first half of 2026, we secured large-volume purchase orders for AI infrastructure components from several major customers and have commenced deliveries, further demonstrating growing customer recognition of our capabilities across the product development and manufacturing lifecycle, from early-stage design collaboration and validation to engineering, mass production and quality control. Supported by ongoing deliveries under these orders and continued demand from AI and other advanced technology applications, we anticipate that strong growth momentum will continue through the second half of 2026.
“We also continue to execute our global expansion strategy, including the development of our international customer base. We are investing in sales and marketing across North America, Singapore and Taiwan to broaden our market reach beyond mainland China.
“We believe the rapid growth of AI computing infrastructure and adoption of liquid cooling, together with increasing precision requirements across other advanced smart technologies, will create substantial long-term opportunities for ZJK. We will continue to focus on innovation-driven development, operational efficiency, customer diversification and the expansion of our global footprint to enhance our capabilities to capture these opportunities, drive sustainable revenue and profit growth, and deepen ZJK’s strategic role in the global high-precision components supply chain.”
First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
Revenues
Revenues were US$33.74 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 36.60% from US$24.70 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was mainly due to an increase of 35.29% in the average sales unit price for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was US$19.45 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 57.08% from US$12.38 million for the same period of 2025. The increase was driven by higher material procurement prices coupled with increased material consumption from the expanded production scale of new products, and increased labor costs as more personnel were required and more complex manufacturing procedures were involved in the production of new products.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit was US$14.29 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 16.01% from US$12.32 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was mainly due to the increased average sales unit price of ZJK’s hardware products, partially offset by the decreased sales volume.
The gross profit margin was 42.35% for the first half of 2026, compared with 49.87% for the same period of 2025, mainly attributable to the increase in average unit cost of products. Despite an increase in average sales unit price of products, to remain competitive, such price growth was insufficient to fully offset the incremental manufacturing costs.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were US$8.64 million for the first half of 2026, compared with US$6.46 million for the same period of 2025.
- General and administrative expenses were US$4.11 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 52.86% from US$2.69 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of US$0.63 million in share-based compensation expenses, (ii) an increase of US$0.16 million in salaries and benefits for administrative personnel due to an increase of employee headcounts resulting from ZJK’s business growth, (iii) an increase of US$0.12 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, and (iv) an increase of US$0.40 million in other miscellaneous expenses due to business expansion.
- Selling and marketing expenses were US$4.24 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 19.33% from US$3.56 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of US$0.31 million in sales commissions resulting from business expansion into markets such as North America, Singapore, and Taiwan, China, (ii) an increase of US$0.10 million in salaries and benefits for sales and marketing personnel due to higher headcounts to support ZJK’s business expansion, and (iii) an increase of US$0.18 million in freight costs for sale of products, reflecting expanded overseas shipping demands.
- Research and development expenses were US$0.28 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 32.28% from US$0.21 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to salaries and benefits for an increased number of research and development personnel resulting from business growth.
Income from Operations
Income from operations was US$5.66 million for the first half of 2026, compared with US$5.86 million for the same period of 2025.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net was US$1.37 million for the first half of 2026, compared with US$1.91 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in foreign exchange gains.
Net Income
Net income was US$5.24 million for the first half of 2026, compared with US$5.84 million for the same period of 2025.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share were both US$0.08 for the first half of 2026, compared with US$0.10 for the same period of 2025.
Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of US$23.16 million, an increase of 24.37% from US$18.62 million as of December 31, 2025.
