Q3 Guidance Implies Sequential Decline
Q3 2026 guidance calls for total revenue of $45.8M-$46.5M and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0M-$3.0M, down from Q2's $5.9M. Full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $15.8M-$17.2M implies a back-half weighted recovery.

AI Deal Signings Double to Record
Kaltura signed 14 new deals including AI offerings in Q2, double the previous record. Nine included Agentic Avatars, and eight were with new logos, spanning multiple industries.

Balance Sheet Remains Tight

Analysis · KLTR · Technology
Kaltura delivered a strong Q2, exceeding the high end of its own guidance on both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, and posted record non-GAAP gross margins. However, the Q3 outlook implies a sequential revenue decline and Adjusted EBITDA roughly half of Q2's level, which may temper enthusiasm. The doubling of AI deals to a record 14 is a tangible sign of commercial traction in the company's strategic pivot to agentic digital experiences, but the revenue contribution from these new products is not expected to be meaningful until 2027. With $35.5 million in cash and equivalents against a net loss, the balance sheet remains tight, though the company is generating positive Adjusted EBITDA.
