Unaudited First Quarter 2026 Results
Revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were approximately $142.8 million, which increased 177.0% from $51.5 million in the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher solar cell and solar module sales volumes.
The cost of revenues was approximately $95.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $46.7 million for the same period in 2025.
Gross profit was approximately $47.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, an 894.8% increase compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2025. Gross margin improved to 33.5% for the first quarter of 2026 from 9.3% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to our expansion of production capacity, increased production efficiencies and improved economies of scale as the Company successfully ramped up its solar cell facility.
Total operating expenses increased to approximately $11.5 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $6.1 million for the same period in 2025.
Selling and marketing expenses were $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to a sales commission increase in line with an increase in revenues, testing fees and advertising expenses, as well as payroll and benefits.
General and administrative expenses were $9.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the scale of operations as the Company brought its new 4GW cell manufacturing line and new module facility in Houston online over the course of 2025.
EBITDA (Non-GAAP) was $48.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to EBITDA of $2.4 million for the same period in 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) was $48.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of approximately $45.5 million. The improvement reflects the Company's revenue scale-up, increase in gross margin, and disciplined operating expense management.
Net income was approximately $28.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $3.7 million for the same period in 2025.
Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the first quarter of 2026 was $0.75 compared to loss per share attributable to TOYO shareholders, basic and diluted, of $0.10 in the first quarter of the prior year.

Business Outlook
"Following our strong first-quarter performance, we are reaffirming our full-year 2026 outlook, which reflects our confidence in the sustained U.S. demand for high-efficiency solar solutions," said Takahiko Onozuka, Chairman and CEO of TOYO. "We anticipate solar cell shipments to reach between 5.5 GW and 5.8 GW in 2026, bolstered by our scaled manufacturing capabilities. Furthermore, as we deepen our downstream presence, we expect solar module shipments to reach 1.0 GW to 1.3 GW this year. We expect, with our focus on supply chain resilience, to achieve a full-year adjusted net income in the range of $90 million to $100 million."
"We are continuing to move forward with our plans for a domestic cell plant as part of our commitment to reshore solar production and advance toward a more integrated supply chain in the United States to meet the needs of our customers for high performance solar solutions aligned with the evolving policy environment. We are also moving forward to establish a U.S. R&D center to bring next-generation technologies that will bolster energy security and meet the surging demand for on- and off-grid electricity to power the AI economy," Mr. Onozuka concluded.
