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.

Second Quarter and Full Year Outlook:

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

 

Q2 2026

 

FY 2026

 

($ in millions)

Platform Revenue

$132.5 – $134.0

 

$547.0 – $550.0

YoY Growth %

23.7% – 25.1%

 

26.0% – 26.6%

Adjusted EBITDA (1)

($4.0) – ($3.0)

 

($12.5) – ($7.5)

Adjusted EBITDA Margin (1)

(3.0)% – (2.2)%

 

(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.

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 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.

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 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).
