NO-HEADQUARTERS/REDWOOD CITY, Calif., August 6, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PubMatic, Inc. (Nasdaq: PUBM), the leading AI-powered ad tech company delivering digital advertising performance, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

"The second quarter marked an important inflection point for PubMatic. We delivered double-digit revenue growth earlier than anticipated, expanded profitability and strengthened our competitive position across AgenticOS, CTV, and mobile app," said Rajeev Goel, co-founder and CEO at PubMatic. "AI is transforming how digital advertising is planned, activated and optimized, increasing the emphasis on performance advertising. Our AI-native infrastructure and proprietary intelligence consistently deliver better performance, faster execution and greater efficiency for customers. Every interaction strengthens that intelligence, creating a compounding advantage that is difficult to replicate. Further, we’re bringing new forms of advertising, new sources of demand and new intelligence onto our platform that will significantly expand our long-term market opportunities.”

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
Revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was $78.6 million, up 11% compared to the same period of 2025;
GAAP net loss was $(1.2) million with a margin of (1)%, or $(0.03) per diluted share in the second quarter, compared to GAAP net loss of $(5.2) million with a margin of (7)%, or $(0.11) per diluted share in the same period of 2025;

Non-GAAP net income was $5.9 million, or $0.12 per non-GAAP diluted share in the second quarter, compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.5 million, or $0.05 per non-GAAP diluted share in the same period of 2025;

The section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below describes our usage of non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations between historical GAAP and non-GAAP information are contained at the end of this press release following the accompanying financial data.

"We delivered a remarkable quarter, exceeding our guidance on revenue and adjusted EBITDA. We returned to double-digit year-over-year revenue growth ahead of schedule: revenue grew 11%, adjusted EBITDA increased 38% and free cash flow increased 47%," said Steve Pantelick, CFO at PubMatic. “Over the past three years, targeted investment and innovation in the fastest-growing areas of digital advertising have fundamentally changed our business. Today, approximately 60% of our revenue comes from CTV, mobile app and emerging revenue streams, roughly double the level of three years ago. Based on this momentum and the strength of our AI-powered products, we anticipate continued double-digit year-over-year revenue growth and meaningful full-year margin expansion.”

Business Highlights

AgenticOS Drives Superior Open Internet Performance and Customer Adoption
Since launching in January 2026, PubMatic has delivered measurable performance gains for customers across more than 80 fully autonomous, end-to-end campaigns globally. This is up from over 30 campaigns a quarter ago, and now includes all five global agency holding companies.
Over 4,000 AI-powered deals transacted to date, up from just over 1,000 deals a quarter ago.
Level Agency increased ad spend with PubMatic after AgenticOS delivered more than 2x reach per dollar versus its incumbent DSP, while significantly accelerating campaign setup and activation time. Additionally, AgenticOS delivered retargeting at scale within days compared to the 1-2 months ramp typically required by DSP-led campaigns.
Havas Media and Telefónica launched Spain's first fully agentic CTV campaign, achieving 18% lower CPM than target while exceeding impression goals by 23% using AgenticOS.
Launched advanced guardrail architecture for AgenticOS, giving enterprise buyers configurable control over autonomous campaign execution with human approval workflows, presence-based controls, and full audit trails built directly into the execution layer, reducing barriers to scaling agentic advertising budgets across the platform.

New Partnerships Fuel Our Intelligence Advantage
Recently partnered with Gracenote to bring real-time content intelligence, including contextual signals and live sports schedules, directly into the PubMatic platform. By embedding this data at the point of auction, coupled with our rich signal data and proprietary bidstream data, our AI-native infrastructure can make increasingly sophisticated decisions within the milliseconds available before every impression is served.
Added premium inventory from marquee broadcaster Channel 4 in the UK to expand its access to advertising buyers.

New AI-Powered Solutions Launched
Launched Decision Fabric, a containerization solution bringing buyer intelligence directly into the auction to improve advertising performance.
Launch partners include MiQ, Chalice AI, SWYM.ai and InPowered, who can now run proprietary decision models natively within PubMatic's infrastructure.


Expanded Into New Markets, Creating Incremental Growth Opportunities
Launched Creator Marketplace, enabling advertisers on PubMatic to connect to premium inventory and reach highly engaged audiences while giving creators new ways to monetize across the open internet.
Programmatic trading desk Klever used AgenticOS to help a well-known direct-to-consumer brand expand beyond social channels into premium CTV, and delivered a 5x return on ad spend, which was double the client’s original objective.

Diversified Revenue Mix and Expanded Reach On The Buy Side
Revenues in Q2 2026 from CTV, mobile app and emerging revenues represented approximately 60% of total revenue, roughly double the share of three years ago.
Strength in CTV was led by the Americas, where revenue grew 25% year over year. Global CTV revenue grew 13% year-over-year and represented approximately 20% of total revenue.
Q2 2026 revenue from mobile app grew over 40% year-over-year and accounted for approximately 25% of total revenue.
Emerging revenues2 in Q2 2026 grew approximately 100% year over year and represented approximately 15% of total revenues in the quarter, which includes revenue from newly launched AI solutions.
Ad spend from Activate grew more than 2X over Q2 2025, as buyers and publishers prioritized performance, control and transparency.
Ad spend from mid-market focused DSPs grew over 25% year-over-year in Q2 2026.
Supply Path Optimization represented over 55% of total activity on our platform in Q2 2026.

Operating Priorities Drove Profitable Growth
Infrastructure optimization initiatives and investments drove nearly 92 trillion impressions processed in Q2 2026, an increase of 18% over Q2 2025.
Cost of revenue per million impressions processed decreased 20% on a trailing twelve month period, as compared to the prior period.

Financial Outlook
Our outlook assumes that general market conditions do not significantly deteriorate as it relates to current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions.
For the third quarter of 2026, we expect the following:
Revenue to be in the range of $75 million to $77 million.
Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $17.0 million to $19.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA expectation assumes a negative foreign currency exchange impact predominantly from Euro and Pound Sterling.

Although we provide guidance for adjusted EBITDA, we are not able to provide guidance for net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Certain elements of the composition of GAAP net income (loss), including stock-based compensation expenses, are not predictable, making it impractical for us to provide guidance on net income or to reconcile our adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income without unreasonable efforts. For the same reason, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

2 Emerging revenue includes Activate, Commerce Media, Connect and AI solutions.

Chief Financial Officer Planned Retirement Announced
In a separate release issued today, the Company announced that Steve Pantelick, Chief Financial Officer, plans to retire after fifteen years in the role. He will continue to serve as CFO into the first quarter of 2027, and then as a senior adviser through July 1, 2027, to support continuity and a smooth transition. The Company has initiated a search for his successor.
Conference Call and Webcast details
PubMatic will host a conference call to discuss its financial results on Thursday, August 6, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time (4:30 p.m. Eastern Time). A live webcast of the call can be accessed from PubMatic’s Investor Relations website at https://investors.pubmatic.com. An archived version of the webcast will be available from the same website after the call.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including, in particular operating income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities, and net loss, we believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share and free cash flow, each a non-GAAP measure, are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, litigation related expenses, interest income, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA calculated as a percentage of revenue. We define non-GAAP net income as net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, litigation related expenses, and adjustments for income taxes. We define non-GAAP free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.
In addition to operating income (loss) and net loss, we use adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income as measures of operational efficiency. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period to period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:
Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, litigation related expenses, interest expense, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures and the method by which assets were acquired; and,
Our management uses adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income in conjunction with GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of operating performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance; and adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (b) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; or (c) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; and
Non-GAAP net income does not include: (a) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; (b) non-ordinary course litigation related expenses; or (c) income tax effects for stock-based compensation
Because of these and other limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income along with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including net income and our GAAP financial results.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” regarding our future business expectations, including our guidance relating to our revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2026, our expectations regarding our adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, free cash flow margin, capital expenditures, future adoption and deployment of our AI-enabled products, future market growth, and our long-term revenue growth. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions and may differ materially from actual results due to a variety of factors including: our dependency on the overall demand for advertising and the channels we rely on; our existing customers not expanding their usage of our platform, or our failure to attract new publishers and buyers; our ability to maintain and expand access to spend from buyers and valuable ad impressions from publishers; the rejection of the use of digital advertising by consumers through opt-in, opt-out or ad-blocking technologies or other means; our failure to innovate and develop new solutions that are adopted by publishers; geopolitical tensions and uncertainty, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the related measures taken in response by the global community and disruptions to the international supply chain and global commerce; the impacts of inflation and tariffs as well as fiscal tightening; changes in currency exchange environments and continuing volatility in global capital markets; volatile interest rates; public health crises, including the resulting global economic uncertainty; limitations imposed on our collection, use or disclosure of data about advertisements, including as it may impact our use of Artificial Intelligence and additional AI laws and regulations are enacted globally; the lack of similar or better alternatives to the use of third-party cookies, mobile device IDs or other tracking technologies if such uses are restricted; any failure to scale our platform infrastructure to support anticipated growth and transaction volume; liabilities or fines due to publishers, buyers, and data providers not obtaining consents from consumers for us to process their personal data; any failure to comply with laws and regulations related to data privacy, data protection, information security, and consumer protection; and our ability to manage our growth. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing market, and new risks may emerge from time to time. For more information about risks and uncertainties associated with our business, please refer to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” sections of our SEC filings, including but not limited to, our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, copies of which are available on our investor relations website at https://investors.pubmatic.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will also be set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. All information in this press release is as of August 6, 2026. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

PubMatic Announces Planned Retirement of Chief Financial Officer Steve Pantelick
Pantelick to serve as CFO into the first quarter of 2027, then as senior adviser through July 1, 2027; search for his successor underway
NO-HEADQUARTERS/REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 6, 2026 (BUSINESS WIRE) PubMatic, Inc. (Nasdaq: PUBM), the leading AI-powered ad tech company delivering digital advertising performance, today announced that Steve Pantelick, Chief Financial Officer, intends to retire after fifteen years in the role. Pantelick will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer into the first quarter of 2027, and then as a senior adviser through July 1, 2027, to support continuity and a smooth transition. The Company has initiated a search for his successor.
Since joining PubMatic in 2011, Pantelick has played a central role in the company's growth from a privately held business into a global public company, leading its finance and legal organizations including accounting, tax, treasury, SEC reporting and investor relations. Since its 2020 initial public offering, revenue has nearly doubled, and the company has generated approximately $450 million in net cash provided by operating activities, returned nearly half of it to shareholders through the repurchase of more than $211 million of its shares, and maintained a debt-free balance sheet.
Under Pantelick's leadership, PubMatic has been profitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis for 41 consecutive quarters, a streak that began in 2016, more than four years before the IPO. He also helped shape the company's disciplined operating model, driving productivity gains that funded strategic reinvestment. The organization he built has the leadership depth, operating rigor and institutional knowledge to support the company's continued success.
"Steve has been my partner in building PubMatic for fifteen years," said Rajeev Goel, Co-Founder and CEO. " I’ve relied on his judgment through every major decision, and the trust he has earned, inside PubMatic and with our investors, is one of the company’s great assets. He has built a strong leadership team that is well prepared for the growth opportunities ahead. I am deeply grateful for his partnership, his leadership and his friendship."
"Today, I believe PubMatic is in the strongest position I have seen in my fifteen years here, which is what makes this the right time to begin planning my retirement,” said Steve Pantelick, Chief Financial Officer. “I joined PubMatic when it was a small private company, and together with Rajeev and this exceptional team, we have built something I am incredibly proud of: a global public company with a strong financial model, substantial operating flexibility and a culture of disciplined execution. My priority is continuing the momentum we reported today."
The announcement coincides with PubMatic's second quarter 2026 financial results, issued separately today, which included the company's return to double-digit year-over-year revenue growth ahead of schedule and expanded profitability. Additional details regarding the transition will be included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
