Via Announces Second Quarter 2026 Results

About this update from Via Transportation, Inc.

Via Transportation, Inc. (NYSE: VIA), the world’s leading platform for public transit software and services, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, which ended June 30, 2026. “We are excited about our second quarter results, which provide strong validation of our strategy: to build the world’s most complete platform of software and services for public transit. Via’s rapid revenue growth, coupled with a second consecutive quarter in which pipeline doubled year-over-year, are indicative of the high return on our multi-year investment in our platform. Our focus on expanding the Company’s platform and supporting customers with an end-to-end solution has successfully unlocked a large and difficult-to-penetrate market," said Daniel Ramot, Via’s Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. "We are equally pleased to report that we have achieved these results while continuing to make fast progress towards our profitability target, a reflection of the high level at which we are executing on our strategy.” Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Financial and Operational Highlights:   Q2 2026   Q2 2025   Change   (in thousands, except percentages and customer count) Key Business Metrics:           Platform Annual Run-Rate Revenue (1) $ 542,828     $ 428,532     27 % Customer Count (2)   847       689     23 %             Financial Highlights:           Revenue $ 135,707     $ 107,133     27 %             Gross Profit $ 55,606     $ 41,951     33 % Adjusted Gross Profit (3) $ 56,297     $ 42,331     33 % Adjusted Gross Margin (3)   41 %     40 %   1 pt             Adjusted EBITDA (3) $ (3,441 )   $ (9,055 )   (62 )% Adjusted EBITDA Margin (3)   (3 )%     (8 )%   5 pts             Net Loss $ (19,556 )   $ (21,221 )   (8 )% Adjusted Net Loss (3) $ (838 )   $ (9,196 )   (91 )%             Net Loss per Share—Basic and Diluted $ (0.24 )   $ (1.65 )   (85 )% Adjusted Net Loss per Share—Basic and Diluted (3) $ (0.01 )   $ (0.72 )   (99 )% (1) Platform Annual Run-Rate Revenue for any quarter represents our Platform Revenue for that quarter multiplied by four.

See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables entitled “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” below for additional information. Second Quarter and Full Year Outlook: Our guidance includes non-GAAP measures. For the third quarter and full year 2026, Via expects the following:   Q3 2026   FY 2026   ($ in millions) Platform Revenue $137.6 - $138.2   $550.0 - $553.0 YoY Growth % 25.5% - 26.0%   26.6% - 27.3% Adjusted EBITDA (1) ($4.5) - ($3.5)   ($12.5) - ($7.5) Adjusted EBITDA Margin (1) (3.3)% - (2.5)%   (2.3)% - (1.4)% Profitability Q4 2026 Adj. EBITDA > $0 (1) Via is not able, at this time, to provide an outlook for GAAP net loss or a reconciliation of expected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss for the second quarter or full year 2026 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA that cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted without unreasonable efforts. For example, charges related to stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes expense require additional inputs, such as the number and value of awards granted, that are not currently ascertainable.

Today, the Via platform is utilized by hundreds of cities across more than 30 countries to create public transportation systems that connect people with jobs, healthcare, and education. Non-GAAP Financial Measures We report certain non-GAAP financial measures, not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Research and Development expense, Adjusted Sales and Marketing expense, Adjusted General and Administrative expense, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per share. These measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically, the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company’s presentation of such measures, which may include adjustments to exclude unusual or non-recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by other unusual or non-recurring items. Further, such non-GAAP financial information of the Company should be considered in addition to, and not as superior to or as a substitute for, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge you to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
