This press release uses non-GAAP financial measures that adjust GAAP financial measures for the impact of various items. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables entitled “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” below for additional information.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Outlook:

Our guidance includes non-GAAP measures. For the fourth quarter and full year 2026, Via expects the following:

Q4 2026

FY 2026

($ in millions)

Platform Revenue

$150.0 - $151.7

$556.7 - $558.4

YoY Growth %

26.1% - 27.6%

28.2% - 28.6%

Adjusted EBITDA (1)

$0.0 - $1.5

($12.5) - ($11.0)

Adjusted EBITDA Margin (1)

0.0% - 1.0%

(2.2)% - (2.0)%

(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 fourth 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.

Conference Call Details

Via will host a conference call to discuss its third quarter fiscal year 2026 results at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (5:30 a.m. Pacific Time) on November 9, 2026. A live audio webcast of the conference call, together with detailed financial information, can be accessed through the company's Investor Relations Web site at investors.ridewithvia.com. Participants who choose to call in to the conference call can do so by dialing (800) 715-9871 or +1 (646) 307-1963 and entering the conference ID: 1199104. A replay of the call will be available and archived via webcast at investors.ridewithvia.com.

About Via

Via is the technology backbone of a modern transportation network. We transform public transportation systems into dynamic networks, based on data and demand. Cities and transit agencies around the world adopt Via’s suite of software and technology-enabled services to replace fragmented legacy systems and consolidate operations. As a result, Via lowers the cost of providing transit, improves the passenger experience, and brings more riders on board. 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 nonrecurring items, should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by other unusual or nonrecurring 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.

Safe Harbor/Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws that reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events, market trends and our future business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would,” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or phrases or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact, and are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our industry as well as certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, which you should consider and read carefully, including but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed in connection with this earnings and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per share

Adjusted Net Loss represents net loss excluding certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing business performance: amortization of discount on convertible notes, loss on extinguishment of convertible notes, changes in the fair value of derivatives, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes, and other nonrecurring or noncash items impacting net loss such as intellectual property and securities litigation costs, transaction costs related to our IPO and M&A activity, and other income related to employee retention credit under the CARES Act. Adjusted Net Loss per share represents Adjusted Net Loss divided by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period.
