Ecarx Q1 Revenue at $131.5M, Down Year-over-Year

Reports Q1 revenue $131.5M vs. $167.7M last year. Ziyu Shen, Ecarx CEO, commented, "The first quarter of 2026 was defined by continued disciplined execution and continued global momentum, demonstrating the underlying resilience of our core business. Despite traditional seasonality and a complex macroeconomic environment marked by memory component inflation, our disciplined execution mitigated the modest impact on our topline into meaningful profitability improvements. We successfully expanded our gross margin to 21.4% and nearly halved our operating loss from the same period last year. Perhaps most notably, we achieved our third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA at $4 million. This resilient performance is the direct result of the strategic framework we established late last year where our focus remains firmly on accelerating our globalization strategy, investing in our R&D roadmap, and optimizing our lean operating strategy to sustain profitability. R&D costs were down 32% YoY, driven by continued resource prioritization and the internal deployment of AI across our business to drive innovation while reducing structural costs."
