Revenue in the quarter was up 145% year over year to $34.25 million, driven by growth in Robotaxi services and intelligence solutions revenue. Service revenues increased 61.4% to $16.7 million, driven by Robotaxi and Robotruck transportation services. Product revenues were up 384.4% to $17.5 million.
On the other hand, the company posted a wider-than-expected non-GAAP net loss of $41.2 million, compared with $23.8 million in the first quarter of last year. The wider-than-expected net loss was due to non-operating items reflecting a decrease in investment income.
As Pony AI continues to scale its operations, it has raised its 2026 targets and now expects to end the year with a Robotaxi fleet of more than 3,500 vehicles deployed in over 20 cities. It also expects its full-year revenue to exceed 3.5 times last year’s level.
