Analysis · SEAT · Trade & Services
Vivid Seats' Q2 2026 results show a 10% year-over-year revenue decline to $129.9 million, driven by a 16% drop in Marketplace orders. However, the net loss narrowed sharply to $14.3 million from $263.3 million a year ago, when a large goodwill impairment hit. Adjusted EBITDA of $12.6 million was down only modestly. The company ended the quarter with $136.7 million in cash and no borrowings under its revolving facility. On August 3, it replaced that facility with a new $75 million revolver, providing liquidity runway. The cost reduction program is showing results, with G&A expenses down 30%. While the top-line trend is negative, the improved bottom line and new financing are stabilizing signals for a company with a market cap around $87 million.
