Vivid Seats Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

CHICAGO, IL – August 4, 2026 – Vivid Seats Inc. (Nasdaq: SEAT) (“Vivid Seats” or “we”), a leading marketplace that utilizes its technology platform to connect millions of buyers with thousands of ticket sellers across hundreds of thousands of events each year, today provided financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“We are encouraged by the progress we’ve made through the first half of the year. Our second quarter results exceeded expectations as we delivered sequential growth driven by the extraordinary demand created by the FIFA World Cup,” said Lawrence Fey, Chief Executive Officer of Vivid Seats. “We continue to successfully execute against our strategic objectives. With leading technology, a compelling value proposition, differentiated data, and a relentless focus on operational excellence, we remain confident in our ability to drive long-term shareholder value.”

Second Quarter 2026 Key Financial Highlights

Marketplace GOV of $659.4 million
Revenues of $129.9 million
Net loss of $14.3 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $12.6 million

Key Business Metrics & Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measure

We use the following key business metrics and non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to evaluate our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe this information is useful to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as management.

The following table summarizes our key business metrics and non-U.S. GAAP financial measure for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

(1)
Marketplace Gross Order Value (“Marketplace GOV”) represents the total transactional amount of Marketplace orders processed on our online platform during a period, inclusive of fees, exclusive of taxes, and net of event cancellations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, event cancellations negatively impacted Marketplace GOV by $16.4 million and $25.4 million, respectively, compared to $20.3 million and $35.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
(2)
Marketplace orders represent the total volume of Marketplace segment transactions processed on our online platform during a period, net of event cancellations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our Marketplace segment experienced 30,767 and 60,201 event cancellations, respectively, compared to 47,845 and 90,198 event cancellations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
(3)
Resale orders represent the total volume of Resale segment transactions processed on a given platform (including our own) during a period, net of event cancellations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our Resale segment experienced 605 and 1,072 event cancellations, respectively, compared to 1,276 and 2,161 event cancellations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
(4)
Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). See “Adjusted EBITDA” below for more information, including a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

2026 Financial Outlook

For the year ending December 31, 2026, we now anticipate:

Marketplace GOV in the range of $2.3 billion to $2.6 billion (previously $2.2 billion to $2.6 billion)
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $34.0 million to $40.0 million (previously $30.0 million to $40.0 million)*

* We calculate forward-looking adjusted EBITDA based on internal forecasts that omit certain information that would be included in forward-looking net loss, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. We do not attempt to provide a reconciliation of


forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to forward-looking net loss because the timing and/or probable significance of certain excluded items that have not yet occurred and are outside of our control is inherently uncertain and unavailable without unreasonable efforts. Such items could have a significant and unpredictable impact on our future U.S. GAAP financial results.

Vivid Seats will host a webcast at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time today to discuss the second quarter 2026 financial results, business updates, and financial outlook. Participants may access the webcast and supplemental earnings presentation by visting investors.vividseats.com/events-and-presentations.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that is used by investors and others to evaluate companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by management to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting.

We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful for understanding, evaluating, and highlighting trends in our operating results and for making period-to-period comparisons of our business performance because it excludes the impact of items that are outside of our control and/or not reflective of ongoing performance related directly to the operation of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect all amounts associated with our operating results as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and specifically excludes certain recurring costs such as: income tax expense (benefit); interest expense – net; depreciation and amortization; sales tax liabilities; transaction costs; equity-based compensation; litigation, settlements, and related costs; loss on asset disposals; change in fair value of derivative asset; foreign currency loss (gain) – net; severance compensation; change in fair value of warrants; loss on extinguishment of debt; adjustment of liabilities under our former Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) entered into with the existing unitholders of Hoya Intermediate, LLC; and impairment charges. In addition, other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative tool. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the U.S. GAAP amounts that are excluded from our presentation of adjusted EBITDA.

The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
