Penguin Solutions Reports Q3 Fiscal 2026 Financial Results

Penguin Solutions, Inc. (“Penguin Solutions,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: PENG) today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Record net sales of $479 million, up 48% versus the year-ago quarter

  • Record Q3 GAAP operating income of $51 million, up 417% versus the year-ago quarter

  • Record Q3 Non-GAAP operating income of $64 million, up 67% versus the year-ago quarter

  • Q3 GAAP diluted EPS of $0.68 versus $(0.01) in the year-ago quarter

  • Q3 Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.84 versus $0.47 in the year-ago quarter, an increase of 79%

“Penguin Solutions delivered a record quarter, exceeding expectations for both net sales and EPS. This profitable growth acceleration reinforces our confidence that our AI Factory Platform strategy is working. Integrated Memory net sales more than doubled year over year, and our AI Infrastructure business continued to build momentum, reflecting strong demand and execution across our memory and AI Infrastructure portfolio,” said Kash Shaikh, CEO of Penguin Solutions.

“We are seeing very strong AI-driven customer demand for memory and AI infrastructure solutions. As inference and agentic AI workloads become more persistent and context-rich, memory is increasingly becoming one of the primary performance and scalability bottlenecks. Penguin is well positioned at the intersection of memory and AI infrastructure to help customers address these evolving requirements. Given robust demand and disciplined execution, we are raising our full-year outlook for both net sales and EPS.”

Third Quarter Business Highlights

Customer Wins Across Integrated Memory and AI Infrastructure:

  • Continued to execute our land-and-expand strategy, converting new customer wins into expanded commercial relationships across both Integrated Memory and AI Infrastructure.

  • Integrated Memory: Across the trailing four quarters from Q3-25 to Q2-26, we added 16 new logos, and five of those customers subsequently increased their business with us.

  • AI Infrastructure: Added four new AI Infrastructure customer logos in Q3. Across the trailing four quarters from Q3-25 to Q2-26, we added 13 new logos, and seven of those customers subsequently increased their business with us.

Key Technology and Market Leadership Milestones for Penguin’s AI Factory Platform:

  • Recognized as Dell Technologies Global Alliances Americas AI Partner of the Year, highlighting Penguin’s role in delivering full-stack AI Factory Platforms that combine infrastructure software, advanced memory technologies, compute systems, and services.

  • Became an NVIDIA AI Factory Specialized Partner, recognizing Penguin’s expertise in designing, building, deploying, and managing full-stack AI factory infrastructure for enterprise, sovereign AI, and neocloud environments.

  • Expanded ClusterWareAI operating system software for AI factories with AI-powered operations. The new AI Factory Operations Agent provides administrators with a conversational interface using natural language queries. This agent is the first in a planned family of agentic AI-powered agents designed to automate AI cluster operations with a human-in-the-loop approach.

Raised Fiscal 2026 Outlook

Penguin Solutions is further raising its previously-issued improved financial outlook for full-year fiscal 2026, and as of July 7, 2026, expects both net sales and diluted EPS for full-year fiscal 2026 to be above the high end of its previously-issued outlook ranges. Supported by very strong agentic AI-driven customer demand across its Integrated Memory and AI Infrastructure businesses, Penguin Solutions now expects full-year fiscal 2026 net sales growth of 22% plus or minus 2%, full-year GAAP EPS of $1.97 plus or minus 5 cents, and full-year non-GAAP EPS of $2.60 plus or minus 5 cents.

Use of Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are not historical in nature, that are predictive or that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions. These statements may include, but are not limited to, statements concerning or regarding future events and the future financial and operating performance of Penguin Solutions; statements regarding the extent and timing of and expectations regarding Penguin Solutions’ future net sales, sales mix, profitability and expenses; statements regarding Penguin Solutions’ strategic transformation, business momentum, and emerging leadership position; statements regarding AI-related demand, customer pipeline, market opportunities, industry trends and product performance; statements regarding projected demand for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 and beyond; statements regarding long-term effective tax rates; and statements regarding the business and financial outlook for fiscal year 2026 described under “Business Outlook” above.

These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “anticipate,” “target,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “believe,” “could,” and other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events, circumstances, results or aspirations and are subject to a number of significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, including but not limited to: global business and economic conditions, including the impact on the financial condition of our customers, particularly in challenging macroeconomic environments; growth and demand trends in technology industries (including trends and markets related to artificial intelligence), our customer markets and various geographic regions; uncertainties in the geopolitical environment, including those related to global conflicts, such as those in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the global effects thereof on international relations, transport, and trade; our ability to manage our cost structure; disruptions in our operations or supply chain as a result of global pandemics, tariffs, disruptions at our suppliers, or other factors; changes in trade regulations and tariffs or adverse developments in international trade relations and agreements; changes in currency exchange rates; overall information technology spending, including changes in customer spending on our products and services; appropriations for government spending; the success of our strategic initiatives including the U.S. Domestication (as defined below) and our ability to realize the anticipated benefits thereof, our rebranding and related strategy, any existing or potential collaborations and additional investments in new products and additional capacity; acquisitions of companies or technologies and the failure to successfully integrate and operate them or customers’ negative reactions to them; failure to achieve the intended benefits of the sale of Zilia Technologies Indústria e Comércio de Componentes Eletrônicos Ltda. (formerly SMART Modular Technologies do Brasil – Indústria e Comércio de Componentes Ltda.) and its business; the impact of and expected timing of winding down the manufacturing and discontinuing the sale of products offered through our Penguin Edge business; limitations on or changes in the availability of supply of materials and components; fluctuations in material costs; the temporary or volatile nature of pricing trends in memory or elsewhere; deterioration in customer relationships; our dependence on a select number of customers, and the timing and volume of customer orders and renewals; the impact of customer churn rates, including discounting and churn of significant customers from whom we derive a significant percentage of our revenue; changes in customer demand and sales mix; production or manufacturing difficulties; competitive factors; technological changes; difficulties with, or delays in, the introduction of new products; slowing or contraction of growth in the memory market, LED market or other markets in which we participate; changes to applicable tax regimes or rates; changes to the valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets, including any potential inability to realize these assets in the future; prices for the end products of our customers; strikes or labor disputes; deterioration in or loss of relations with any of our limited number of key vendors; the inability to maintain or expand government business; potential sales of our common stock by the holder of our issued convertible preferred stock or the anticipation of such sales; and the continuing availability of borrowings under revolving lines of credit or other debt arrangements and our ability to raise capital through debt or equity financings.

These and other risks, uncertainties and factors are described in greater detail under the sections titled “Risk Factors,” “Critical Accounting Estimates,” “Results of Operations,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 29, 2025, as updated by the risk factors, if any, contained in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such risks, uncertainties and factors as outlined above and in such filings could cause our actual results to be materially different from such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements that we make in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by law, we do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements contained in this press release to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that may arise after the date that the forward-looking statements were made.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables contain the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income attributable to Penguin Solutions, non-GAAP income available for distribution, non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders, non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA. Penguin Solutions’ management uses these non-GAAP measures to supplement Penguin Solutions’ financial results under GAAP. Management uses these measures to analyze its operations and make decisions as to future operational plans and believes that this supplemental non-GAAP information is useful to investors in analyzing and assessing the Company’s past and future operating performance. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items, such as stock-based compensation expense; amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets (consisting of amortization of developed technology, customer relationships and trademarks/trade names and backlog acquired in connection with business combinations); inventory write-off, stolen in-transit shipment, net of insurance recovery; cost of sales-related restructuring; diligence, acquisition and integration expense; redomiciliation costs; restructuring charges; (gain) loss on disposition of equity investments; (gain) loss on non-marketable equity investments; impairment of goodwill; changes in the fair value of contingent consideration; (gains) losses from changes in foreign currency exchange rates; amortization of debt issuance costs; (gain) loss on extinguishment or prepayment of debt; other infrequent or unusual items and related tax effects and other tax adjustments. While amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is excluded, the revenues from acquired companies are reflected in the Company’s non-GAAP measures and these intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Management believes the presentation of operating results that exclude certain items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company’s core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management also uses adjusted EBITDA, which represents GAAP net income (loss), adjusted for net interest expense; income tax provision (benefit); depreciation expense and amortization of intangible assets; stock-based compensation expense; inventory write-off, stolen in-transit shipment, net of insurance recovery; cost of sales-related restructuring; diligence, acquisition and integration expense; redomiciliation costs; (gain) loss on dispositions of equity investments; (gain) loss on non-marketable equity investments; impairment of goodwill; restructuring charges; loss on extinguishment of debt and other infrequent or unusual items.

Our GAAP effective tax rate can vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, discrete items which are recorded in the period they occur, the tax effects of certain items of income or expense, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix or changes to our strategy or business operations. We are unable to predict the timing and amounts of these items, which could significantly impact our GAAP effective tax rate, and therefore we are unable to reconcile our forward-looking non-GAAP effective tax rate measure to our GAAP effective tax rate.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they exclude important information about Penguin Solutions’ financial results, as noted above. The presentation of these adjusted amounts varies from amounts presented in accordance with GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to amounts reported by other companies. In addition, adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used for, operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be used as a measure of liquidity. Investors are encouraged to review the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” tables below.

Explanatory Note

On June 30, 2025, we completed the redomiciliation of the parent company of our corporate group, Penguin Solutions (Cayman), Inc. (formerly known as Penguin Solutions, Inc.), a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Penguin Solutions Cayman”), from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware in the United States, resulting in Penguin Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Penguin Solutions Delaware”), becoming our publicly traded parent company (the “U.S. Domestication”). Penguin Solutions Delaware is the successor issuer to Penguin Solutions Cayman. The U.S. Domestication was approved by the shareholders of Penguin Solutions Cayman and effected via a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Cayman Islands law, pursuant to which each ordinary share of Penguin Solutions Cayman was exchanged for one share of common stock of Penguin Solutions Delaware, and each convertible preferred share of Penguin Solutions Cayman was exchanged for one share of convertible preferred stock of Penguin Solutions Delaware. Additional information about the U.S. Domestication was included in Penguin Solutions Cayman’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the SEC on May 2, 2025.

As used in this press release, unless stated otherwise or the context requires otherwise, the terms “Penguin Solutions,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar terms (i) for periods prior to the consummation of the U.S. Domestication, refer to Penguin Solutions Cayman and its consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) for periods at or after the consummation of the U.S. Domestication, refer to Penguin Solutions Delaware and its consolidated subsidiaries. Throughout this press release, we refer to our equity securities (i) for periods prior to the consummation of the U.S. Domestication, as ordinary shares and/or convertible preferred shares and (ii) for periods at or after the consummation of the U.S. Domestication, as shares of common stock and/or shares of convertible preferred stock.
